The call for the Democratic Convention OF
this State contains a special invitation to all
those who arc opposed to inequitable and OPP
pressive sumptuary legislation to assist in the
work Of selecting delegates Now, to speak OF
negotiable and oppressive sumptuary leglsla-
ton is to imply that there is kind of Sumpt-
uary legislation which is neither inequtable
nor oppressive. number of Democratic jour
mails, in response to the charge that the call
was a loud bid for the liquor VOTE have said, in
effect, ooh, no; our party is in favor of equi-
table and reasonable sumptuary Legislation;
the convention can be expected to commend
legislation of that sort while denouncing the
sort which is inequitable and oppressive"
THE TRIBUNE, however, has contended that
the record Of the Democracy as well as its cur
rent spirit and tendency proved that it re-
galded any sort of sumptuary legislation as
ineauitable and oppressive. The Hill organs
have denied this, but "'rhe Newly DIRK World"

not opposed to all sumptuary legislation it is
unfaithful to its principles" Precisely; but
in the light of this admission what is the call
for the Democratic Convention save an urgent
appeal TO the saloons? The terms inequitable
and oppressive are not meant to be taken
seriously. Whiskey's Governor placed them
in the call with a view to giving it respec-
table look, but he must have realized that they
would deceive no levcl-headed voter.
II remains to be seen what the respectable
element in the Democracy of this great State
is going to do about it. That element was
cut in force at the complimentary dinner given
to ex-PreSiGent Cleveland a few months ago.

As a graceful compliment to their special
patron the delegates to the Liquor-Dealers'
Convention yesterday wore badges bearing a
capital portrait of David b. Hill. The plat
form favors law providing for uniform
license, with moderate fee, for all classes OF
saloonkeepers, opposes Prohibition, and in par
ticuar the submission of prohibitory amend
ment to the popular vote, and denounces the
Civil-Damage law in its present form. 1t Ia
vors the withholding of license from any per
son convicted of felony, advocates the rigid
enforcement of the law forbidding the sale OF
liquor to minors, and urges upon all liquor
sellers the importance of strict obedience to
the laws. The only alusion to political par
ties by name is an expression Of .distrust IN the
Republican organization. This would have
been appropriately supplemented by an ex-
preston of sublime trust in Governor Hill
That is wanting in words, but it can easily be
read between the lines of every resolution III
the platform.

seasons operations, and that another year there
| will be swarm of fishing schooners IN tne
waters of Behring Sea bent upon capturing
from rs. 600 to 100, 600 skins.
The practical inference to be drawn from
these facts is that the fur-seal is menaced with
speedy determination in the only remaining
fishing ground on the globe. The annuai yieiu

islands of Behring Sea is 1 36,S6O skins, tho
number being limited by law at all these
islands. If the adjacent waters are to be
secured by poachers and another lOO,OoO
taken by methods of ndiscrimnate slaughter
the fur-seal will disappear speedily from the
North Pacific, as it has disappeared in the past
in Antarctic waters and off southernmost capes
Of Africa and the American continents. Inc
sealers this year have used spears and rliie ana
ball. but another year they will spread gill
nets across the watery lanes convergng from
the Aleutian channels toward the breeding
grounds in the Pribyloff Islands. With these
nets the catch will be enormously increased.
90 that within a year or two as many fur-seal
will be taken on the way to the islands as the
Alaska Company is allowed to slaughter on the
breeding-grOunds The poachers, moreover
will take anything that comes along without
reference to sex or the breeding and reaGlng
of young seal; and by their reckless and I'M
discriminating methods they will complete the
ruin of these fisheries within few years I'M
less immediate steps are taken to prevent
wholesale destruction of the fur-bearing am
phibians.
The lease of the Pribyloff Islands by the
Alaska Seal Company will expire in August
1890. If the privileges for which remunera-
tive rental has been paid to the United States
Treasury for twenty years are to be renewed,
some understanding will have to be reached
within few months respecting the degree OF
protection which will be guaranteed to that
corporation or to some competing bidder. The
future policy of the Treasury Department will
have to be determined before a new lease can
be granted If the illegal traffic is to be
broken up and the destruction of the fisheries
forestalled, the revenue service in Behrng
Sea will have to be greatly strengthened.
There will have to be six or seven revenue
cutters patrolling those waters, and each must
swarm with officers and men so that adequate
prize crews can be detailed for taking vessels
into port when captured The alternative for
stringent measures of this character is the ne
gOtiation Of a close-season arrangement on the
lines proposed by Secretary Bayard. If a
diplomatic settlement is to be effected, the ex-
listing statutes should be amended by Congress
before the opening of another season. The
Behrng Sea question should be taken up and
settled in one way or in the other without

The announcement that the triumph of the
Progressive party in the Chickasaw elections
means the probable allotment of lands in sever
atty among the tribe and the sale of surplus
lands to the Government to be thrown open to
settlement may prove to be Of great impor
lance. The opening of Oklahoma was the first

the Five Nations, shall decide for severalty and
ask the white men to come in on their remain

efforts on the part Of the United States reye-
nue. cutters to protect the fisheries. The Rush
his seized large number Of skins, but most
Of the sealers have returned to port with big
catch This illegal traffic practically opened
in 1879, when 1880 skins were landed in
the ports Of British Columbia, and it steadily
increased until in 1886 nearly $4,000 skins
were taken. In 1887 the Illicit trade declined
owing to the vigorous efforts Of the Treasury
Department to enforce the laws. yet 29,211
skins were taken on the northwest coast of
America, II 969 Of these being seized by the
revenue service. In 1888 the poachers had
everything they wanted. no attempt being
made by the Rush TO prevent sealing, and the
catch greatly exceeded that OF 1886. This
year the fleet has been the largest eyer seen in
those waters, and the sealers have returned to
Victoria with Thousands Of skins under matches.
The prize crews have been unable t. take such
vessels as were seized into Sitka Haibor. and
