that the Legislature regarded it as all error, for
the two bills which it passed in 1889, The one

session. both contained the provisions TO which
the Governor objected.
Our contemporary ought to know. since 1t is

David B. Hill vetoed the Census bill Of 1885
was a partisan one. The fact that the measure
proyided for the collection OF statistics had
nothing whatsoever TO do with his action, not
the slightest. General Joseph b. Carr Re-
nublican. was Secretary of State In that year,
and the Governor was unwilling that the Cen
eral should have the appointment OF the census
enumerators. Hence his veto was simply in

shown himself to be just that sort of an Execu-
tive. The Republican position in regard to
the Census bill is perfectly tenable. A Re-
publican Legislature, obeying mandate of
the Constitution passed two bills providing
TO, an enumeration. IT is not pretended that
either bill was unconstitutional. The Gov
crnor vetoed both. The census was not taken

THE RACK DIAMOND SEIZCRE.

The commander of the revenue cutter Rush
| received open instructions this year which were
not countaracted by secret orders. Last season
he went north ostensibly to protect the fur-scal
fisheries and to enforce the laws passed by
Congress, but he had in his cabin whom he
| sailed from San Francisco confidential instruc-
lions to connive at poaching and to disregard
the plain requirements of the Revised Statutes.
As the pOaching fleet had received limitations
of these supplementary orders it pursued its
calling with mpunity. The law was repeated
| Is violated but no seizures were made. The
Republican Administration has not repeated
that spirtleSs farce. 1t has instructed the
revenue service to execute the will of Congress
as embodied in legislation grounded upon the
| principle of exclusive jurisdiction in Behnng
Sea. The Rush has captured the British sealer
Black Diamond, and sent her to Sitka TO be
condemned by the proper judicial tribunal.
1t would be erroneous to assume that the
Administration in this matter is enforcing a
new policy of its own. The Presidents proc
lamaton was grounded upon recent legislation
of Congress and statute law So long as the
laws are on the statute books it is his duty to
enforce them. Until Congress shall revise the
code relating to Alaska and its territorial waters
the Administration is under obligations to di-
rect revenue officers to seize every Black
Diamond that may be found poaching in the
American half of Behnng Sea, where marine
Jurisdiction was purchased from Russia along
with the Aleutan and Seal islands. The Clcve-
land Administration acted upon this view when
it ordered seizures Of British vessels during
two seasons. but departed from it during its
last year of Office when Secretary Bayafd in
sisted upon being relieved from harassing dis
fractions IN the course Of his faint-hearted
treaty making with England.
The British Government, when ID renews its
circumstances against seizures in waters be-
yond the three mile line, virtually denounceS
various sections of the United States statutes
as incompatible with the spirit and practice of
modern international law. II raises a question
with which Congress in the last event must
deal, for the Administration cannot repeal the
laws, if the British contention be correct. The
State Department may have recourse to diplo-
matte arguments and temporary expedents.
but in the long run the Administration cannot
shirk the responsibility Of executing the laws
relating to the ur-seal fisheries. The Govern
ment cannot concede the British poacher'S
claim to exemption from seizure in the deep
waters Of Behrng Sea without abrogating stat
utes enacted by the lawmaking powers. Con-
gresS alone can do that

On July THE TRIBUNE, speaking OF mayor
Grants responsibility in connection with the
municipal building job, remarked: "a few
vigorous words from him (the Mayor will put
an end to this outrageous plot TO destroy the
City Hall Park''; and then asked: will he
say them 2" The Mayor has not said them,
but he has taken a course that will tend IN
bring about the end at which THE TRIBUNE
has been aiming in its warfare against the
design to sacrifice nearly all that remains Of
the City Hall Park as site for building
which seemingly promises to be an architect
ural monstrosity and n permanent eyeSore The
MAYORS letter and tho subsequent action of the
Sinking Fund Commissioners will cause the
very thing for which this journal and other
enlightened organs of public opinion in this
city have been pleading-a poStponement OF
the carrying out Of the building plan until it
can be definitely ascertained whether the people
of New FORK are willing to put the park to
such use An attempt was made to secure
a postponement in the closing hours Of the
legislative session, but it was defeated by Dem
ocratic votes

date may be trife early, and the Mayors
office will undoubtedly not be spacious enough
to accommodate all who wish to be heard but
the principal thing is that chance for the ex-
preston of public opinion is to be afforded.
We take ii for granted that the future action
of the Sinking Fund Commissioners will be
determined by the state of feeling disclosed
by this meeting. Hence the importance of
full and representative attendance, even at the
cost Of some Inconvenience TO those who attend.
The Mayor has heretofore manifested signs
of haste in carrying out the building project
and Of impotence with those who urged delay.
We are glad to see evidence of change OF
heart. If we understand him Alright, he and
bis fellow Commissioners are prepared TO as
sumo judicial functions and decide according to
the evidence. That single voice will be lift
