PROBABLY TROUBLE AHEAD.

The recent action OF the United
States government in asserting our ma
,ionll authority over BrhriDg sea was
timely and proper and every patriot
in this country will sustain his govern
ment in the action that has been
taken. While Alask, was owned by
Russia the authority over Behrlng SEA
WIS conceded to that government and
it must likewise be conceded to the
United States. Our government has
ne elected to assert it's rights so long
and in so many different ways that the
British government has apparently
fallen into the idea that Uncle Sam is
not at home and il is said that Presl-
dent Harrison's warning against all
persons entering Behring sea for the
purpose OF fishing or killing seals vii!
not be regarded by British Columbia
sealers. 1t is said by Victoria news
paper that British sealers will enter
The sea as usual and rely upon the
British government for protection,
Should this course be pursued 1t will
very likely lead to trouble Ms the United
States government must maintain It's
rights or become contemplate III the
eyes Of the world aud dereict in its
duty to its own citizens and their
interests. 1t is even stated in Victoria
that British war vessel will be ex-
pected to proceed to Northern waters
to protect British interests. As the
sealing vessels will perhaps not start
out until fn June it il to be hoped that
any question as to the law and ma
tional rights in the premises may be
fully settled by correspondence be-
tween nowand that time. II the En-
glish government has anything to say
as to why the presidents order should
not be respected it will be fully con-
sidered at the state department and by
the president and his advisors and in
the meantime the war vessels and
sealers had better stay in port.

hEOOLLECriONs OF BEN HOLLiDAy

The telegraphic announcement OF
the probably fatal illness OF Mrs.
Esther Holiday, AT Portland, recalls
to the memory of all Pacific coast
pioneers the remarkable career of her
late husband, rugged Ben Holiday,
whose name for nearly ball a century
was familiar to every man, woman
and child west of the Missouri river.
He was born in Bourbon county. Keu-
lucky, in 1919, and died in Portland
July s, 1887. He was by nature u
frontiersmsn, pathfinder, and an ad-
venturer in new and unex plored tie Ids
Early in life he left HE Kentucky home
and located on the extreme border OF
civilization, at or near st. Joseph,
Missouri, the QUILTING post for all the
overland trains bound for the land of
gold. That was long before any Of the
great transcontinental railways were
even dreamed of--when the region
around and about Omaha was wilder
ness and when Kansas City was only
a steamboat landing and Denver had
no existence. But there came too
many people by and by, to suit Ben
Holidays love of frontier life and he
moved farther west, and kept on mov-
ing and moving, until he reached the
farthest western shores of the United
States domain, where he passed the
remaI nder of his days. During the
war v ith Mexico he Was an army con-
tractor, in which he achieved consider
able success, financially. He was the
founder of Holidays overland mail
the connecting link. between the civil
ization of the East and the West. He
originated and operated the ast pony
express and established line of twenty
three steamers between Alaska and
Mexico. He made an immense
fortune in the Ophir mine in Nevada,
out of the proceeds of which he pur-
chased u tact of land in Westchester
county New York which he christened
Ophir farm, and upon which he built
IL castle that cost million dollars. He
could not be called brilliant man, in
any n,e of the term, bat he was far |
seeing and great as an organizer and |
rs an executive, while in the days of |
his activityit seemed that he welded |
A magic wand, which turned to gold !
everything it touched. lie was ap- |
paren,ly born for All occasion, and
right nobly did be fulfill bis mission.
Many men are sleeping beneath pom
lerous monuments who were less
deserving OF commemOratiOn than

THAT TAXPAYERS CONVENTION.

Those interested in having lots of
money spent in the city election took
fright when il was made known to
them that the ticket nominated by the
republicans was SO generally satisfac-
tory as to need no opposition. This
would never do There must be some
thing to make things lively and call
out some money-otherwise the pro-.
lessional street curb politician would
lose his calling Such was the situa-
tion OF city politics yesterday and of
this situation was horn the "conven-
ton" or mass meeting or what-do-
you-call-it of last evening. 1t is very
generallyconceded that the ticket nom
mated by the republican convention of
last Thursday is in every respect a
good one. 1t is sound from head to
foot, Each man Was chosen after
careful and mature consideration as to
his fitness. The convention that
made up the ticket was COM
posed of as good men rs the
city contains. But this is not sufficient.
There were not places enough to sup
ply an Office to each fellow who wanted
one and each fellow who wanted an
office was therefore interested in get.
ting up an opposition ticket.
The jumbled gathering at Concorda
hall last evening Represented all Of the
disafected, disappointed elements and
not the best interests OF the city
While some good men may nave been
named for city officers it cannot be
said lhat any of them are any better
than the men selected Thursday by
the republican convention

BRiGANDs OF THE BORDER.

The telegraphic dispatches to yes
terday's REVIEW contained two news
items OF much significance, One re-
counted the details of a bank robbery
at Denver, which was probably the
shire widest and the boldest ever plan
ned and executed by one indi.
vidual. The other related the fact
that the Garrett party had abandoned
their contemplated excursion into
Mexico, on account of information
which induced them to fear an at
tempt to capture them by brigands.
1t cannot be denied that disgraceful
state OF lawlt ssness exists in Mexico,
and that in many localities brigand-
age, rspine, pillage and murder are the
chief industries. But it IL question
able whether even that country can
present more astounding record Of
robbery than has been written in the
Uni ed States during the past twenty
five years. II is doubtful, too, whether
a person possessing money or valua-
abl,s is in reality much safer here
than in the Businesses of the Mexican
mountains. While the Mexican han
ditti are perhaps more thoroughly or
gained and better disciplined by their
leaders, who are not inirequently the
descendants OF Castiian noblemen,
and have lost their estates through
the vicissitudes OF revolution and war
and mereiless eStortions of the foreign
monarchy which rules the land OF the
Mon tezumas, this country has pro-
duced bands of bold riders and reck-

And although the candidates selected
by this opposing element were in the

certainly not propitious of good, There
was no valid reason for opposition to

only the names of tirst-class men.

SECOND INDEMNITY LIMITS.

A decision recently made by the
comm issioner Of the general land
Office with reference to land within the
second indemnity limits of the North.
ern Pacific grant is beng extensively
published and will perhaps lead to
some misunderstanding as there is no
second Indemnity lands in this region.
The act granting lands to the North
ern Pacific company provided for an
indennii ii cation to the company for
any lands settled upon or appropriated
prior to the attachment of the grant.
The act specifics that this indemnity
land must be selected from lands
within strip ten miles in width along
each side of the main grant. A sub
sequent act provided in substance that
in case the first Indemnity belt should
be found inadequate to supply the
deficiency second indemnity strip
was provided for. But on the western
end OF the line no withdrawal of this
second indemnity land has been made
and the ruling Of the commissioner on
the subject is not, therefore, directly
applicable to lieu land claimants in
this section.
