cation of seal The number taken every year
is regulated by law precisely as 1t Is IN the
piibylov Islands belonging TO the United states
and in the Commander Islands and Robin
Reef under Russian jurisdiction. If the Ant
arctic seal fisheries had been protected as those
Of the Logos Islands and the Rio de Ia Plata
now are, Behring Sea would moi to-day be the
only ouarter of the globe where these furS can
be obtained in enormous quantities. But il the

American seaers, the only remaining rookerieS
where the animals can he taken on large
scale will become worthless in the course of q
few wears. If Canadians object TO American
expert testimony on this point. they certainly
cannot reject this declaration of the Inspector
of Fisheries for British Columbia. Thomas
Nouatt made in his report for 1886:
There were killed this year. so far from 10000

scbooners from Francisco aud Victoria. The

great plty that such valuable industry could not in
some way be protected.
On the Plibyloy and Commander islands and
Robin Reef the American and Russian Gov
ernments not only limit the annual catch. but
require the selection Of such animals "a will not
interrupt the breeding Of the species. If Amen-
can and British sealers are allowed to lie in

Of these islands and to pursue them with spear,

five or ten years before the fisheries are alb
soutelv ruined. The great increase in the
sealing fleet since 1871 and the systematic use
now made Of nets in these waters indicate the
speedy destruction Of perhaps the most valuable
fisheries in the world. England has more
direct interest in this question Of protecting
The fur-Sea than either the United States or
Canada, for the skins are all dyed there
furnishing industrial employment for thousands
of wOrkmen.

General Fisk and the Prolibitionists Of New
Jersey have taken position which will cost
them the sympathy and countenance of many
who wasted votes on Prohibition candidates
last fall. They are making it. more and more
difficult for honest voters 10 credit them with
sincerity or sense After the defeat of the
temperance cause in New-JerSey. and the cleo
ton of Legislature pledged to serve the rum
shops by the aid Of the ProhbtioniStS last
fall. Geneial Fisk now processes to desire u
re-enactment Of the license law only for the
purpose of proving by experience that it in
creaSes drunkenness. Yet this same General
Fisk when Democrats aided To their victory
by ProhibitonStS, had repealed the Option
License law declared with appearance of honest
Indignation that Pr0hibitOnstS must now insist
upon the restoration Of the law and vote with
those who would re-enact it.
II is always melancholy spectacle when
men who either intend or profess to be the
servants Of right are found doing the work Of
the enemy. Doubts as to their integrity Of
purpose are natural. but putting motives aside
the obligation Of every man to put the practical
weight Of his effort and influence OH the right
and not on the wrong side must be recognized.
Men are not in this world TO cherish theories,
but to do coed. They are not here to dream
impossible dreams, or to chase impacticable
ideals, but to get things done that shall make

After an unprecedented season OF midsummer
rain the weather during the last fortyeg ht hours
has been perfect. The atmosphere. drained Of its
humidity, has been dry crisp and invI2ordtng.
The heat has been moderate and tempered with
balmy breezes. The skies have been those of
the sunny south in early October. The perfec.
ton of weather" is an exclamation that has been
Heard in every street-Car and lounging-placc. If
these element and benign days are enjoyed In the
heart Of the city, how much keener is the appreca-
ton of the change Of weather in the suburbs and
i'm the country! There the foliage of trees has
been cleansed by repeated shower baths the green
Of lawn and meadow is several shades darker
the dust has been land in the roadways, and
nature appears in midsummer in all the freshness
Of her spring outfit.

EXTINCTION rs. PROTECTION.

The Canadian journals. in their excitement
over the seizme and escape Of the Black Dia-
mond, lose sight Of the threatened extinction
Of the fur-seal species by unrestricted fishing
and hunting What has happened in every
other quarter Of the seas where this valuable
animal has been found will occur in Behring
sea unless measures ale taken to prevent in
discriminate slaughter. When the present
century opened there were numerous rooleries
for fur-SeaI at the Falkland Islands the South
Shelands. South Geo. gia, MaSlfuera and else
where in Antarctic waters All these fisheries
which were once most profitable, now have only
a nominal value. Between 500 and 1922 over
81 u. 900 skins were taken al the South Shet-
lands. the animals being slaughtered without
reference to sex or the nursing Of newborn
cubs. This system Of determination immedi-
ately exhausted the fisheries only Il few seal
being found there after 1922. At Masafuera.
where $500, 900 skins were taken in fourteen
years, the same effect was produced by mre-
stlicted fishing. From 1915 to 1871 the Ant
arctic seal fisheries were abandoned altogether
and while a few thousand skins are now OBJ
tanned at the Falkland Islands and elsewhere the
injury wrought by earlier periods of slaughter
has proved permanent The fisheries off Cape
Horn. the Cape q Good Hope and the islands of
the Southern Indian and Southern Pacific oceans
have been practically destroyed by the license
enjoyed by sealers in making as great catches
as possible without reference TO age or sex.
IL is a remarkable fact that the only seal
rookeries in the Southern Seas which have not
diminished in value during recent years are
those on the LOgos Islands and at the mouth Of
the Rio de In Plata. The number Of skins
taken annually from these hauling grounds
equals that Of the aggregate yield of all the
other waters south Of the Equator, where seal
were once captured by the hundred thousand.
The reason for this exemption from destruction
Is easily explained. The fisheries there are
under Government protection, and are con-

the world better. II there are any to whom
much has been given-much Of influence, OF
sympathy with right, of power to comprehend
the need of any reform-from them much will
be required. Upon such men, more than upon
others, rests the obligation by no error OF judg-
ment or method to hurt or hinder the cause
which they profess to hold dear and sacred.
II is nothing less than crime for temperance
men Of New Jersey to defeat the only practical
measure which there was a chance that the
people would sustain, and to throw the State
into the hands of the liquor-sellers. Infinitely
more than anybody else they are responsible for
any and all harm that may result. III unre-
STAINED traffic demoralizes and impovershes
they are guilty If drink kills body and soul
they do the killing. The mere instruments of
the Iiquor traffic may not have the moral sense
TO know what harm and wrong they are doing,
but the temperance men have. When Pro-
bibitionists in their recent State Convention re-
solved upon a course which can have no other
effect than to prolong the power of the liquor
traffic defeat any measure for its restriction
and keep the State in the hands of its friends
and tools there can be no dispute about it
they are not true friends of temperance.
This object lesson will have deep influence
upon the minds of sincere temperance men, not
in that State only, but throughout the Union.
Such men cannot help seeing that Prohibition
leaders of that sort. whatever they may pro-
fess, whatever may be their motives are I'M
worthy of confidence. Progress toward better
things in any State, if attained at all, must be
attained in spite of all that such leaders can do
to hinder The good cause if it moves one
step forward. must march over their PROSTATE
bodies. The Prohibition party, led as it il
now. and under existing circumstances, is the
bulwark of the liquor traffic. Those who aid or
countenance that party led as it is now and
under existing circumstances, set themselves
on the side of the liquor-sellers and against
every practical effort toward reform.

close them and from Harlem to the Battery
they are in full blast. The same law that pro-
ects the race track extends its Sheltering arm
yer them The Monmouth Park officials have
begun bold fight against these iniquitous
dens which are playing havoc with their reve-
nues from betting privileges and gate receipts
They do not look for legal assistance. Heroic
measures have been adopted with which the
law seems to have nothing to do. Public
opinion, however, is with them, and sooner
or later the pool-rooms will have to go. Next
winter the jockey clubs should see that the

these places forever They are a nuisance and
