SOME of the Eastern papers are
conceding that the Government of
the United States cannot hold that
the Behring Sea is a closed sea. How
about Russia holding it as such be-
fore she disposed of half OF it to the
United States. 1t is strange that
America and Russia cannot together
have and enforce the same claim
over the sea as Russia did for years
before she disposed of the portion
now held by the United States. 1t
is possible that The Behring Sea is
not a closed sea in the strict sense
of the word. but our right is as good
as Russia's right was, and there
never was any dispute by any other
nation when Russia held the sea.

THERE is not a paper on the Coast
that has expressed any regret at the
killing of Judge Terry. 1t is not
strange, for Terry was not liked,
say nothing about being popular.
His connection with political and
mining matters in California and
this State in early days gave him
an unenyiable record. The killing
of Senator Broderick in an alleged
duel, placed Terry in the eyes of
many as murderer. There is no
doubt but he was brave man, and
from all accounts of the late shoot
ing we believe that he was unjusti-
fiably killed. 1t was hardly
necessary for Judge Field to have a
body guard with him, we think, for
he ought to have been able to pro-
tect himself, knowing as he did the
character of the man who had
threatened his life. For a Marshal
to step up and shoot man dead be-
cause he slapped another man in
the face hardly seems right, some

THE statistics of immigration for
the first half Of the year shows a
falling off in the total number of
immigrants, and especially from the
countries which have been the larg-
est contributors to our population.
From England the number has fall
en- off 8 per cent, from Ireland Z
per cent, and from Scotland 33 per
cent. People in the United King
dom are not better off at home than
in other years, but the advantages
of newer countries have been more
generally set forth. The Argentine
Republic is just now attracting a
large immigration. Other South
American countries are holding out
inducements to Europeans who are
crowded out of their native lands.
The United States has arrived at
that point in development at which
it can depend upon its own re-
sources, and she has no use for any
more people from any country.

THE Canadian editor who is con-
fident that in the event of war be-
tween the United States and Eng
land the English feet would sweep
American commerce from the sea
does not comprehend the industrial
condition of the United States. Tn
like England, the United States is
independent of foreign commerce.
We import certain foreign products
for convenience, but we could get
along without them. Fully four
fifths of our imports might just as
we'll be produced in our own coun-
try. There would be no trouble
about sugar after year or two. We
import all our tea and coffee because
it is cheaper to import than to pro-
duce them ourselves. In the event
of war with a great naval power
the culture of silk might get such
start that hereafter we would de-
pend less upon foreign markets for
that staple. To England foreign
commerce is essential to existence.
She imports nearly all the raw ma
terial which her factories convert in
to finished goads. If she should
be cut off either from the markets
where she buys her raw material or
the markets where she sells her
goods half her working population
would be thrown out of employment.
The term ''sweep American COM
merce from the sea" has sonorous
ring, but as a menace it does not
amount to much. The Canadian
editor should think the matter over
and see if he cannot find a phrase
with more vital consequence at
tached to it.
