the Behrin1 Sea Seizures.

The United States revenue cutter Rush
continues TO board vessels which she finds
in Behring sea, and seize the seal skins
which they have, provided they have any.
She has boarded aoout fifteen this season,
and Oh nearly all # them seal skins were
fOuni. Those which had seal skins were
placed in charge Of prizs crews who were
directed 10 go to Sitka. As a general thing
the masters Of The vessels, disregarding the
orders of the commander Of the Rush, and
ignoring the prize crews, sale for Victoria
Canada has exhibited good deal OF ex-
element over these seizures, but England,
as far as the public knows, has made no
protest against them. The English press
has had something to say about them and
has pronounced them Outrages to which The
English government ought not TO submit
1t may be that correspondence is being car
ried on with regard to them tetween this
government and the government Of Eng
land. and that it will be made public when
congress meets.
There is an impression that England is
not anxious to raise the question whether
this country has the right to exclude es-
sells seeking seals from Behring sea. 1t is
thought that there has been fleet of sixty
vessels in the sea this season TAX. e seals. If
that is the case it is apparent that if the sea
were declared an open one. I'd all persons
had right to capture seals there, the seal
fishery would be destroyed within half
dozen years.
L gland does not want the fishery de-
stroyei, because she gets a good profit from
it. All the seal skins are taken to London
for treatment. Only in that city IS the Sc
cret possessed of hand ing the skins so as to
make them a marketable article. 1t is to
England's interest, theref re, that the fish
cry shall be preserved. This can be done only
by killing a limited number Of seals each
year.
The Alaska Fur Company obtained the
exclusive right from this G ,vernment to
take seals in Behring sea for a term of
twenty years. 1t is authorized to kill Only
1000 seals year, and, as far as known,
it has lived up to its contract. = Its term is
very nearly ended.
1t is probable that the question whether
this country has exclusive jurisdiction of
Behriug sea or not viii come before con
gress in some shape this winter. Whether
or not it has such jurisdiction depends upon
the fact whether the sea is an opeu or a
closed one. Russia held that the portion of
the sea in which the seals are taken was a
clo-ed sea when she sold Alaska to this
country, and this country has held that
view since the pure ase of Alaska. In fact,
hol = ba. ~,
mitted to be a closed sea. If England raises
the question whether it is or not the con
troversey will be au interesting one.

Must the Beard Coz

Some DAYS ago 10000 BARRIERS, assembled
in conventional POsen, Germany, rejoiced
over what they called the victory of the
razor. An edict of fashion had just gone
forth in Europe that mems faces should be
innocent of hirsute adornment, and for a
time one Of the passports into continental
socie will be c.ean sh wen face. The
BARRIERS may be excused for rejoicing, for
this means more business for them.
The fashions of the continent of Europe
generally find acceptance among a large
number of people in this country, and this
one will hardly be an exception. We may
expect to see after awhile a great many
more clean shaven faces than now, but,
edict or no edict, very many people will
Continue to do as they please in this matter,
and why shouldn't they Common sense
would seem to dictate that m3n SHOULD wear
their beard in such way as would be most
becoming to them, and most conducive to
health. 1t is entirely proper that they
should present as pleasing u per-
sonal appearance as possible, and while
the reasonable adornment of the
person does not make the man, it is nearly
always a ! advantage TO III Il, ana Is an evil
dence of refinement. 1t is well known that
the wearing Of tue beard in some styles is a
protection to health.
1t has not been very long since men in
different professions wore their boards in
particular styles, and it was not con-
sidered the proper thing for some of them
to wear a muStache. 1t has been said
that jud 20 used to decline to near a lawyer
WAC wore beard, aud even now clean
shaven faces larg ely predominant a nolg

A glance over al asse hblage of Methodist
ministers twenty years ago would have re-
vealed a strikingly small number of boards.
This is changed to a sreet extent now. Men

nations in the matter, aud it is very well

> Unfortunate 70 the Country.

President Harrisons recent eastern and
western tour seems to be generally accepted
as an evidence of a DIES re on his part to be
renomlnated but it was not needed to con-
vince observant people that he is looking
forward to a second term. Although he
has been in office only six months, he has
shown pretty conclusively that he will
not be satisfied with one term. His failure
to declare, in his inaug ural address,
against second terms, his evident determi-
nation to ignore, as far as possible, the
members of his parry who might stand in
the way Of his ambition by becoming
candidates themselves, his bid for the soldier
vote by the appointment of Com Miss oner
Tanner, his bid for the favor of tue republi-
can press by his appoint ne t to important
offices of leading republican editors, and his
recognition of Malone in Virginia, can
hardly be construed in any other way tina
that he does not intend, if he can prevent it,
his political career to end in 1892
This is unfortunate for the country. In
the case of Mr.. Cleveland, who. by the way,
was not working for a denomination, it was
shown that the best way to secure a re-
imitation is to have an eye single to the
interests of the people. Gen. Harrison does
not seem to believe in that way. He i

Is Mission Work in China a FailureP

Is Mission Work in China Failure?
According to Lieut. Wood, of the United
States navy the mis- iouarles whom ditfe ent
christian denominations in this country
have sent to China have not advanced the
cause of christianity there. Lieut.. Wood
has Travelled somewhat In China, and he
professe to know what he is talking about
If what he says is generally accepted, the
Chinese mission is likely to suffer for want
of funds. Many people in this country
who are not particularly enthusiastic upon
the subject of foreign missions, but who
contribute to them, would probably be
quite willing to find a pretext for with
holding their contributions, and Lieut..
Woods statements might furnish pretext.
Lieut.. Wood says that there is not col
vert TO christianity, in sound mind, in
China, and that the missionary work done
in that country has been absolutely without
result, except to hold up the missionaries to
ridicule. The only Cinnamon who profess
to be converts, he says. are those who are
hired to do service for the missionaries, and
all evidence Of their conversion ceases to be
exhibited as soon as they are discharged.
AS for a mandarin acknowledging the
christian faith, such thing was never
heard of.
These are astonishing statements, and
their correctness will be questioned by
thousands of people. American mission
aries have been working in China many
years; they have established schools and
| churches there; they have met with dis
engagements, yet it can hardly be doubted
by unprecedented men who have studied the
matter that they have made considerable
Roadway in introducing the christian re-
| ligion into that country. ChiIamen have
| joined the missionaries in their religious
work, and, according to the statements of
missionaries who have returned temporarily
to this country, quite a number have &C
ceptsd the christian religion in good faith,
and are endeavoring to live christian lives
| If the statements of the missionaries are
correct, Lieut.. Wood has either ignorantlv
or Intentionally misrepresented the facts;
If those of Lieut.. Wood are correct, the
missionaries are gully of deliberate and
| willful misstatementS. The missionaries
appear to have facts to sustain them.

SAVANNAH OF TODAY.
The Morning News Annual Trade Review
A Few Pointers in Relation Thereto.

The MORNING NEWS Annual Trade Re
visw, containing a complete and compre-
hensive statement Of the business of Savan-
nah, will be issued FIR day, Sept 6.
The year ending Sept l, 1889. will be
memorable one il the history of Savannah,
and the MORNING NEWS proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, and proposes to do in the
near future. There is no better way in
which the outside world can be informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns Of its newspaper
The MORNING News in its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that Savannah is one of the most
progressive and healthy cities In the union,
and that her citizens, judgi2g from what
fully alive to the great ess of her future
They have proven by the various local i'm
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they are not afraid TO invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt that they have confidence
in her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The MORNING NEWS will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word Savannah OF
to-day" In a resume Of what has hereto
fore appeared in its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year
The Trade Review will contain articles
showing the bu mess of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise steadily increasing prosperity.
1t will establish the fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which 10 live and do business
either in summer or winter. 1t will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
usual form, and will be a newspaper whic
those who feel pride in their city will
take pleasure in sending to their friends.
1t will afford business mea an opportun-
fly of saying something about their bushes,
and themselves. 1t is hoped that in size, al
well as in other respects, it viii sur ass
every previous edition. That, however
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.

response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe II

She would nave pleased an artists eye,
For in her empire gown
She looked like some old picture that
Had from its frame stepped down.

How long it seems since thenl
was tow-haired la1 of twelve,
And sne was only ten.
A short and shabby roundabout
My boyish heart CONT ned;
She wore blue checked inafore
Which bat oned up behind.
Her hair had then rudy tinge
Now, lat3-leaf- brown its sh en-;
She wore it "a ia KenwiSs" then,
Now "a la Josephine"
TIL Sc same small Louis Quinze-shod feet
All dai ty beads and bows
Once tredged beside me in pair
OF sturdy copper-toes
Who'd think these old yolug memories
WCul from their sleep arise:
Yet when tonight above her fan
| met her laughing eyes,
felt that same queer flutter come
Tnat used to come when she
Above her tattered spelling book
Would sweetlY smile at me.
And though her eyes are just as blue
As in those olden DAYS,
She never could have used them then
In suca be Aitcning ways.
Alas, that e'er such woful plight
Or me could be presaged.
Away down in my heart tonight
I'm sorry I'm engaged.

of Ohio is claimed as victory for the Nc
Lean fac ion of the democracy of that state.
and it is said that it will have the effect of
making John R. Mclean, of the Ci cinnai

much of a democrat. but he would be
preferable to an out-and-out republican. 1t

A Boy Who Keeps His Wits on Edge
From, the Mem York SIM


In one of the biggest law offices in ttis CITY
there is employed little, pale faced boy whose
brig 1t eyes are forever on the alert to detect
something. He doesn't care much what it is so
that it violates some Of the rules laid down by
his employers, or seems to him TO be wrong and
needful of correction. His contempt for wealth
and power is unsurpassed and he will detect
some slight fracture of the rules by a fa nous
man, and chide him as quickly as though he
were the p0ore client OF the list of his en-
ploysrs His little desk is near the entrance
and here he sits throughout the day with his
pointed chin in his hands and his eyes fixed
upon some bloody tale of halrbreadth escapes
But his wits are always on edge n the fall of
the lightest footstep without causes him to
prick up his ears AMI listen with every fiber of
his body. When the person enters he asks:
Who did you wish to see -
Mr. -"
"What did you wish TO see him about ??
Il viii tell him."
Very we'll"
Then the boy resumes his reading, and the
visitor. after a puzzled glance at the row of lit
tie offices, says:
Please tell Mr.-!that Mr. Smith is out here
and would like to see him.
What about?'
BLESS your impudence. what's than to youf"
The by returns YEARLY TO his book, and
pays no further attenti n 10 anything outside
OF it until Mr. Smith weakens and says:
Tel him want to see HIM about the Blank
matter"
Then the boy looks up and says with an air
OF renewed interest in lite:
ION. but can't. cause Mr.. - isn't in. He
has just stepped out"
