THE SEAL FISHERIES.
The Right Of the United States to Maintain
Jurisdiction Over Behring Sea.


Baltimore American.
The Canadians will soon know how it is
themselves. Under the Cleveland admin
lstratiOn they were allowed to seize Amerl-
can fishing vessels at will, and insult the
captains and crews, because Mr.. Cleveland
alleged he had not the means of effective
retaliation, though he made no use OF IL
when Congress gave him carte blanche; but:
through some mysterious instructions OF
the State Department, British and Cana
Alaskan waters. and bag all the game they
could find. With the advent of a Repub-
lican administration the Canadians ma
terlally modified their policy on the
eastern side of the continent. They have
been very careful how they tackled Amerl-
can vessels, showing plainly that, they
know when it is expedient to bully and
when not.
The wretched precedent established by
Mr.. Bayard in Alaskan waters was an lnvl,
tatlon to foreign sealers to visit them, ana
they are alleged to have done so in num-
bers. President Harrison. at the opening
OF the season, issued proclamation warn
ing all concerned not to violate the laws In
Alaska, but this may have been regarded
by the marauders as akin to the buster or
Cleveland. If SO, their eyes have been
rudely opened.
There can be no question of the sound
ness of the governments position. The
United States In purchasing Alaska bought
was exclusive Jurisdiction over Behring
sea, which Russia had exercised nninter-
ruptedly for many years. Whether this
right conflicts with the views of some other
powers or not, it has been distinctly recOg-
nized by the statutes of the United
States, and until surrendered by a
treaty with other countries, it IS
the bounden duty of every admin
istration 30 maintain it. But there is q
strong practical reason for jealousy guard
ing this right at this time. 'Other countries
have aoknowled the value of the seal fish
cries and their need of protection, especial
ly from marauders in Behring sea, Great
Britain among the number, but the latter.
when appealed to to enter into friendly
agreement, declined for reasons best known
to herself and threw the responsibility up
ON the United States.
1t is generally conceded that if vessels
are allowed to take these animals in the
open sea there will soon be an end to the
fisheries, which constitute the principal
value of our Alaskan possessions. 1t is
therefore an act of self preservation for the
government to do as it is now doing, and
the buster and rage of Canada will be use
less. Our own people are made to observe
the law, and the Canadians will fare
no better, nor will they improve
their case by making a great TODD
about it. The United States. under Repub.
lican rule, is not to be bullied. but will
always be ready to discuss fairly any Ques-
ton at issue with q foreign government
to existing laws. So long as British or any
other vessels are converted into poachers
within our waters they will be treated as
poachers and not allowed, as they were q
year ago, to break the laws under the very
noses Of United States officers.

TARIFF OR INTERNAL TAXES.
A Time for the American People to Deter
mine Which They Prefer.

m1n6 w nlcn lhcy ITeIers
New York Sun.
1t is sometimes argued that free trade is
impossible in this country, because the
support of the government. the mainte-
nance of the army and navy, the payment
of the public debt, and the payment of pen
sions require annually great sum of
money; and this money, 1t has been fancied,
can only be provided by duties on imports
or by direct taxation levied upon the
several States This view of the question
is mistaken. 1t is perfectly easy to provide
the necessary revenue by means of that
system known as the internal-revenue sys-
tenn, with which we have become familiar
during the last twenty-five years. 1t is,
can easily be made to produce all the reve-
nue. that is necessary for the needs of the
government. economically administered.
Thus all duties upon foreign importations
may at once be abolished, and the United
States may be brought to the enjoyment of
perfect free trade with all foreign nations
whatever. The custom houses may be shut
up. and every product of every other coun-
try may be admitted free of duty.
1t is for the people to determine which of
these two systems they will have. If they
wish for free trade, they can repeal the tar
Isl and rely upon the internal revenue; apd,
as we have said, it can easily supply all the
needs of the government. If they do not
wish for free trade. then they will be
Obliged either TO abolish the internal-reve-
nue. system and to agree with Thomas JEFF
ferson that IL Is an Internal system; or else
they will have TO reduce it so greatly that
its abolition will be a question of compare
tive unmportance.

American people if they desire it. Do

STOLE $4,000 FROM A BANK.
A Book Keepers Arrest for Big Theft-How
He Tried to Account for His Sudden Wealth.

WHEELING, W. Va. Aug. 2.-There was q
b;c sensation in the city this morning when
|;t became known that Harry Seybold. a
very popular young man, the individual
book-keeper of the Bank of Wheeling, had
been arrested at his home on the South
Side. about midnight last night. for en-
bezzling S27. 600 from the bank. On the 10th
Of April package containing $4,000 was
deposited in tho bank by a prominent bust
ness man, and was placed in the vault to
he counted after business hours. After the
hank had closed Mr.. List went to get the
rackage. and found it missing. The alb
sence of the package was kept quiet for the
time being. as it appeared evident that
some employe had taken il. Mr.. Harry
sey bold was found to be spending money
very freely. and as his account at the bank
was not tonched and his salary had not
been drawn for months, suspicion at once
rested on him. The bank officials called
Capt. B. B. Dovener into the case. Sey-
bold had reported to his friends that he
had lately drawn $4,000 in the Louisiana
lottery. Captain Dovener left for New Or
leans and found this to be untrue.
1t was determined to arrest SeybOld on
suspicion. and at midnight last night the
sheriff arrested him at his home. He
was taken before Justice Ankle and
charged with theft At first Sey-
bold denied the charge, but after
close examination by D0vener, he finally
confessed to having taken the money. The
money was kept at his home for q month,
when about $4,000 was deposited in diff
ferent banks in the city. The. balance was
invested in stock companies. SeybolG
turned over certificates of deposit and real
estate and personal property to the amount
of So 900, which will entirely cover the
loss He was committed to jail without bail
and will be held for trial tomorrow morn
ing. Seybold had part of the funds de-
posrted under the name of SeybOld and
Hennig which led the bank officials to
think that Mr.. George Hennig. another
prominent young man of this city. and an
intimate friend of Sey bold, was Indirectly
arrested and taken before Justice Ankle.
when it was learned that Seybold had
merely used Hennig's name without
authority. Mr.. Hennig is in no way con-
nected with the Bank of Wheeling. Mr.
Seybold's father, a prominent citizen of
many years standing. is the cashier of the
bank and only learned of his sons guilt
erazed with grief, went to her father-in-
laws home about 5 A. NJ. and told him of
the arrest and confession. Harry SeybOld
has been in the employ of the bank for the
past seven years, and his books have al
ways been found correct at each examina-
ton. He gave as reason for taking the
package, that the temptation was too
