The BehIing Sea Matter

The Halifax Herald wakes very indig-
nant OF the seizures OF British seal pirates
In the Behring sea. In giving vent to its
pent up wrath 1t says
There WAS tune when men were proud
to be known as British citizens. when
British vessels and British subjects could
sail the high seas over in confident as
surance that they we're secure under the
protection Of the British flag: when the
councillors who surround the throne were
swift to demand satisfaction and repara-
tion for indignities, eruelties aud losses
unjustly inflicted upon British subjects by
foreign governments. and, II need be. to
obtain 1t at the point Of the bayonet or at
the cannon's mouth. But the age OF
British chivalry would appear to BIZ pass
Ing swiftly away, while the prestige Of
the British name Is falling into decay.
This decidedly belligerent strain is very
amusing. One would think that the
editor Of the Herald WAS actually painting
for blood. Restrain yourself, neighbor.
Al the present writing there is no indi-
cation that the British lion has any I'M
mediate intention Of satiating himself in
American gore. Indeed the English gov
ernment appears to take far broader and
more sensible view Of the situation than
you do. II doesn't think It worth while
to endanger Its "chivslry" or its ''pres.
tge" by demanding lat the point of the
bayonet or at the csnnons mouth" repa-
ration for the seizure Of vessels which
were engaged In the wsnton and illegal
destruction Of great industry. and one,
too, which doubtless II desires to see pro-
tected. No, friend Herald, the English
government won't make any buster over
this business whatever. There is no oc-
casiOn for 1t. Whatever difference OF
opinion may exist between the two gov
ernments rs to the Jurisdiction OF the
United States over Behring Sea will be
peacefully and amicably settled. There
will be no reference whatever to shay
oncts" or cannon" British chivalry"
will lose none Of its self respect, and you
may rest assured that the great seal fish
cries will be amply protected.
