A new law which has just gone into effect
in New York State provides that whenever
the court sees At 1t may impose an indeter-
inmate sentence to State prison. The prisoner
80 sentenced may be held for the possible
maximum term provided by law for his Of
fense, but be may be released by board of
parole during good behavior when he has
served out the minimum sentence provided
by law for his offense. This seems to be a
long step in the right direction.

of the sailing steamer Neptune, of St.
Johns, was alone forty-two thousand seals.
She was loaded to the gunwales, men even
resigning their sleeping berths go that the fat
could be slowed away. The poor ssalers
alongshore, who are called ''seal showers" to
distinguish them from the steamer sealsrs,
took fully three hundred thousand seals.
Every man, woman and child who could
WELD club, gun, knife, or any other possi-
BILE weapon, was at work from Mingan Is
lands in the st. Lawrence, around to the
White and Notre Dame bays, on the east
Newfoundland coast, killing, skinning and
dragging the seals ashore. Our detected
missionary friend himself captured forty-fve

seventy in one day; and an indomitable
widow of the north shore, born in old Gal
way, who not only fights the wild elements
of Labrador, but every body else successful
~, unaided, captured, skinned and dragged
ashore one hundred and seventy five seals in
three days; little fortune Ia itself la this
region, as her "taks" netted her about three
hundred dollars.
The seals are taken In three ways They
are followed out to sea in vessels and killed
from small boats on the ice foes; they are
hunted by 'shovers" along the coves and
bays in boats, or upon the still solid ice; or
they are netted in coarse nets, with an eight
inch mesh, almost precisely in the manner
that herring are taken at PASSPORT and around
Grand Manan. These nets are moored off a
favorable cove, with one end fastened to q
huge windlass on shore. Then careful |
lookout is kept, and when herd of seals has |
entered the enclosure the net is hauled in
behind the seals, and boats follow, with men
shouting and driving the impounded orea-
lures to the beaches and rocks, OF back into /
the stranglipg net, when the seene of club |
bing and butchery begins. Cape Mecatina,
to the west of Ha-Ha Bay on the Labrador /
coast, is faInoG= resort for seals. At La |
Tabatiere, the fishing village near, the /
"shovers" own stand of nets whose total |
length is forty-two hundred feet. At Ma |
and Esquimaux Point the sailing l
feet numbers only about sixty small sehoon- |
ers; and it is evident that unless the huge
sealing steamers are Eoon wholly abandoned,
at no late date half the now trifing popula-
ton Of the St. Lawrence Labrador coast
must be driven from these shores.
Some other interesting facts regarding the
aeais themselves came to light through our
hairy missionary friend. The young are
brought forth on vast floating fields of ice in
March. The baby seals are born with white
hair which soon changes to soft, silky

Glaring Gilt and Currupting COiIusi0n

The editor of the Adelphi Bord el
News 1--WE were about to say oul
esteemed cotemporary, but the con
fession contained in the following
paragraph taken from last weeks
issue OF the News forbids) has been
guilty of a fragrant violation of the
election laws of the State for which
he merits the most condign punish
ment.
The condemning evidence OF
guilt is found in the following from
his own pencil, as it were:
"Mr. Rufus Karshner has repent
ed and withdrawn his suit for
damages against the Border News
and William Patterson. The suit
was instigated on the ground that
we pu blished two weeks ago, a
handsome engraving of his nasal
appendage, when it was swollen to
the size of sixteen pound ham.
Mr.. Karshner had retained
Wait g. Clanahan to prosecute the
editor and Mr.. Patterson and had
placed his damages at $60,000. The
compromise was effected on the
stipulation that Mr.. Patterson and
the editor should vote for the of
Tended Rufus, for member of coun-
ell. We voted and Mr.. KarsbDer
came off victorious"
We cannot blame Mr.. Karshner
for bringing the suit, for the en-
craving in question was vile SLAM
der-a villainous carricature made
with an AK on the back of an old
electrotype and like the Earth in
its first stages was "void and with
out form"
Had the Border ruffain pub
lished such horrid slander on us
we would have gone hunting with
a loaded blunderbus for the das-
tard, but what better can be eX-
pected from one who will barter
away his freedom for so paltry
sum as the contingent recovery in
a 100000 damage suit. But this
view of the case only serves to
make more prominent the moral
turpitude of the man.
The majesty of the law must be
mailtained at any any cost. In the
language of Col. David Crockett.

Should be Prohibited.

The cost of running for office in
this country of presumably
free ballot is assuming alarming
proportions. A company of friends
on the inside of all political parties
assembled in st. Louis last Satur-
day and calculated the personal
expenses of twentyone candidates
for nine Offices at the recent muni-
cipal election there. The lowest
sum expended by any one candi-
date WAS 5000, the highest was 500,
900 and the the aggregate was
more than $4,000. OF course no

Senate upon his case was a univer-
sal insult to the press, and that
without regard to party.
Let us for brief time look at
this matter squarely.
If his rejection by the Senate was
a general insult, then his appoint
ment must have been in the same
measure compliment to the press.
But we do not find his appoint
ment advocated by any consider
able number of respectable journ-
ais and we are forced to the con-
clusion that the appointment was
a purely personal affair. Again if
the ground for his rejection is as
stated, it was II personal affront,
with which the press in general has
nothing to do.
While we do not believe in the
doctrine of Senatorial censorship
yet in view of the past we are un-
able to say that Halstead has re-
ceived more than his deserts.
If, in event that any number of
Senators refuse to obey the man
dates of even so great Il newspaper
and party organ as the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, they may be
assailed by such a paper and call
ed traitors to duty, bribers, sup
porters of bribery and yellow dogs,
we may reasonably expect
such Senators to retaliate; to eX-
pect anything else, is to suppose
them to be divested of all human
frailties and feelings.
We might feel more in sympathy
with Halstead, if we could feel that
his criticism of those Senators who
refused to unseat Senator Payne
had been prompted by an honest
desire to promote purity instead of
party malice. But the case of Mr..
Payne was not the first nor the
only one.
If the paper of Mr.. Halstead tells
the truth, Senators Logan, Plumb,
Ingalls,, Teller and perhaps others
held their positions by virtue of
undue means and corrupt methods.
All of these were in place before
Mr.. Payne's election, and all the
facts were known to Mr.. Halstead \
long before the entrance of the |
Ohio Senator, yet no word in con-
demnation was heard from the
Cincinnati editor against these
party friends until his righteous
wrath was kindled because they,
like the accusers of the adulteress
in the Temple, refused to first cast
a stone at politi cal opponent,
when commanded SO to do by Mr..
Halstead.
Party malice rather than patriot
ism was at the foundation of his
lesire for the unseating of Payne
md his criticism of the offending
was caustic and intemper-
tie and in substance and tone be-
meath the dignity, of true journal
