The Behring Sea Question.

The correspondence upon the Behring
Sea complication is long and able. ihe
chief points are two: first, question oil
authority over the sea; and second' oi INC
seal fishery. Under the first heau our
case is simply that we have succeeded 10
all rights in the Behring Sea which Russia
en;oved: that we have exercised and claim
ad no other: and that Great Britain never
questioned those rights while they were
possessed by Russia To this 1t is answer
ed that the United States did question
them. and the despatch of John Quincy
Adams is cited by Lord Salisbury. in
which Mr.. Adams says that the United
States from the earliest time have always
exercised perfect right Of navigation and
fishing in the Behring Sea, subject only to
riehtfnl territorial jurisdiction, which, so
far "a Russia is concerned, is confined to
certain islands, land has no existence on
the American continent. Mr.. Blame
shows that Mr.. Adams's despatch is not
cited in full by Lord Salisbury, and that
the part omitted contains the ground of
our claim. Mr.. Adams defined the limits
of Russian authority in manner which
Russia acknowledged to be correct, and
Mr.. Blaine maintains that Great Britain
and the United States practically renounc-
ed any rights in the Behring waters
"during the period of Russia's sovereignty,
thereby acquiescing in prohibition
against any vessel approaching nearer to
the coast than one hundred Italian miles
under danger of confscation."
Mr.. Blaine's historical survey is interest
ing, and Lord Salisbury's carelessness in
the citation of the Adams despatch is un-
fortunate for his case By the 100 mile
restriction Russia intended to prevent
foreign nations from sharing in the fur
trade, and the taking of furs by foreigners
in those waters "was always and under all
circumstances illicit" In later treaties, in
1843 and 1859, Great Britain readiusted
and enlarged her commercial relations with
Russia, but her position in the Behring Sea
remained unchanged. There is no question
of the fact of our succession to all Russian
rights which were not withheld by the
treaty If England acquiesced in those
rights from the treaty of 1925 to the
Russian cession to the United States in
1867, why does she now decline to
acquiescef
The cleyerness of diplomacy having
stated the case upon both sides, it is a
question for good sense not for cannon to
settle. Great Britain raises question,
and therefore summary proceedings pend
ing a settlement would be inexcusable un-
less our government has made up its mind
to have its way or fight Such a con-
clusion, of course, would be deplorable.
But unless it be adopted, the subject
should now be referred to some friendly
arbitration. The correspondence is able,
and the people of both countries should be
satisfied that the work If their advocates
having been well done, and no agreement
reached, the question must now be left
out."-EL.

DIP you ever hear the like of thisf Two
men and dog were wrecked and washed
ON desert island. After four days their
hunger was too great to stand further, and
although the dog was great pet the men
cut off his tail and roasted it. They ate
the meat thereon and gave the dog the
bone. A vessel was sighted next day and
all were saved.

Time to Change the Method.

II the Republicans OF the Twenty fifth
Congressional district had adopted the pop
ular vote system Of making nominations,
similar to that which prevails in the adjoin-
ing Twenty-sixth district, they would not
now be in the unfortunate condition in
which they find themselves. They have
on hand candidate for Congress whose
nomination it has been distinctly shown
was procured by bribery.
Money may be, and sometimes is, cor
ruptly used in popular elections, but it can
not be made as effective in the betrayal of
the people themselves as when delegates
whom the people have elected for partic-
ular purpose are purchased and used for
another. If the names of the several can
didates for the Republican nomination had
been submitted TO the popular vote Of the
party, itwould not have been in the power
of anyone to secure the defeat of either Of
them By the purchase Of three or four men,
or to materially help any other one by the
same methods. The people would have
had q direct voice In the nomination.
Under the Twenty fifth district system
although claimed to bs great improve
ment on the conferee method-quarreling
politicians were enabled to work out re-
vepgcs on each other and to get even on
some old scores. This has been done ut
the expense Of tho party, and u nomination
has been made in such manner that party
success IA put in peril, il not rendered i'm
possible. Any ono Of the four candidates
presented for this nomination would have
had o practical walkoverin the district had
he been properly nominated, without cor
ruption.
That something different from this is
needed must be apparent to ali. The peo-
pie do not want nominations procured by
bribery, however free the candidate him
self may be from personal knowledge Of or
participation in, the corruption. The best
system Ii that which gives the people
themselves free choice and, therefore, re-
suits in the nomination of the candidate
wanted by the people. Such nominations
can be mado free from the manipulation Of
political managers and the taint Of the
bribe-giver.
The Republicans Of the Twenty fifth dis.
trict will have NO better opportunity than
the present to reform their nominating sys-
TEN, and they could hardly do themselves
better service. 1t would be an evidence Of
their earnestness, and an unmistakable no
tise that they do not intend to be trifed
with hereafter. There is time enough yet
to clear the decks and make nomination
for this year by the popular vote system

THE market value of the stock OF the
New Orleans Lottery Company has risen
from $35 per share, in 1879, to $1,000 in
1890. They have built up the original
capital, which was never subscribed, and
have accumulated an enormous surplus of
unknown amount, while declaring divid-
end5 of 80 to 100 per cent, per annum, and
that, too, ont Of only one-half Of the net
earnings, as the other half belongs to the
who gets the "capital prizes" Of this
gigantic swindle.

Wearing a Wife,

A certain Russian nobleman visit
ing Paris was noticed to be constant
lyplunged in deep sadness. He wore
on his finger a very remarkable ring,
large enough for a bracelet, and
which extended over his hand like
buckler for the ring finger. 1t was OF
greenish color and was traversed
by red veins.
ltattracted the attention of every
body, but no one was bold enough to
interrogate the mysterious stranger
until one day lady, meeting him in
public, ventured to say:
"You wear very handsome ring"
The Russian made a movement as
he would conceal his hand, but that
feeling gave away to Il desire to un-
burden himself.
1T is not a ring" he answered.
"but a sepulchre."
A shudder passed through the
whole company.
"This Jewell" he continued, sis my
wife. ! had the misfortune to lose
her some years since in Russia. She
was an ItalianIand dreded the icy bed
which awaited her after this life. I
carried her remains to Germany,
where l was acquainted with cele-
brated chemist, whom l directed to
make OF the body solid substance
which l could carry with me. Eight
days after he sent for me and showed
me the empty coffin, amid horrid
collection of instruments and alen-
bics. This jewel was lying on the
table. He had, through means OF
some corrosive substance. reduced
and compressed that which was my
wife into this jewel, which shall never
more leave me-"
