year marine sealing may be conducted any
where with impunity except within ten miles
of the breeding islands,
We observe that a number of our Democratic
contemporaries have made haste to approve
this proposition, procIaiming it remarkable for
its wisdom and sobriety, and speaking OF it as
an excellent issue from the entanglements in
which the two Governments have become in
volyed. They forget that this proposition, eS-
cept. perhaps, as to the language of the ques-
lions TO be submitted to the experts, is not
new or possible except upon the confession that
our rights to the seal differ in no particular from
those of other nations. Ii we are prepared to
concede that point, and to admit that it is
EnrIand's business what we do on our islands,
or what the effect would be upon seal life OF
our adopting close seasons therein other
words. if we are ready to say that we have no
especial and exceptional authority over our
own land and the animals that inhabit it, then
Sir Julian's suggestions might be of value.

JRELANDS NEED OF RAILROADS.

Mr.. Balfour can do no better service to the
material interests of the country which he
governs than 70 execute the plans he has in
mind for an adequate railway system. Ii he
do this, he will deserve to be remembered as
real benefactor of the people to whom he has
hitherto seemed tyrlnt. There is scarcely
any feature of ireland that strikes the eye OF
the practical observer more fOrcib!y than the
absence of railways; which means absence of
any satisfactory means of transit and trans
portatiOn. For the character of the soil and
the "ay of the land" make the wagon roads
generally poor enough, and the jaunting-car
however picturesque it may be, is not thing
to be desired for long journey. TO make
all parts of the island easily accessible to WIS.,
itOrs, to enable the farmers and fishermen to
market their products and to bring Ireland
into touch, industrially, with the rest of the
United Kingdom, railroads are an absolute
necessity, and they can be supplied only
through Government aid.
In Donegal, whittier the Chief Secretary has
now gone, there are almost 10 railroads, and
the rugged face of the country makes travel
over the wagon roads an arduous undertaking.
A line touches the southern end of the county
at Baly shannon, and another skirts the bank
of the foyIe and runs up to Stranorlar. But in
all the bulk of the county, forty by sixty miles
in area, the whistle of locomotive has never
been heard. In Galway the case is little bet
ter. There is line from Ennis to Tuam, and
another to Galway from Dublin but no more.
Clare has only single line. that runs from
Limerick to Tuam, through Ennis. Kerry has
one line, from Killarney to Tralee And there
are other Counties that are Iittle better served.
10 build a complete system OF railways
through these western counties would give
immediate relief to thousands, by giving men
employment in the work of construction. But
that would be only the beginning of benef-
cence The value of land and its products
would quickly be enhanced. Instead of raising
only enough potatoes and pork for home con-
sumption the tenant-farmer and the peasant
proprietor would produce surplus, for the
markets that then would be within easy reach.
The unsurpassed fisheries of those shores would
be rehabitated and a general revival of in
dustry and prosperity would be inaugurated.
Beyond this there would be another good re-
suit. The number of English and other WIS.,
itOrs to those picturesque regions would be
greatly multiplied, and thus better under
standing would be had of the ills, the needs
and the possibilities of vast and populOus
region which now is for practical purposes as
remote from England as the Antpodes 1t is
i'm Mr.. BalfOur's power to bring these things
to pass, and he has promised 80 to do. A
splendid opportunity lies before him. We
shall see whether he takes advantage of it or
no.

When Congress reconvenes on December
it is beyond doubt that the Democratic minor
ity, flushed with the great victory which they
have achieved at the polls, will redouble their
efforts in the line OF obstruction and will leave
nothing undone that they can do to prevent
the Republicans from enacting anything except
the absolutely necessary legislation. All the
probabilities are that this will be their policy
in both branches of Congress. Hence the ne
cessity for the presence OF every Republican
Senator and Representative at the beginning
of the session. and on every day from Decem-
Der to March. The work to be done at this
session is increased by the election OF Demo-
cratic House to succeed the present one, and
the majority in each house have very grave
responsibility resting upon them.

TIE CENSUS QUESTION.

Nayor Grants uncaildid course as regards
the demand for a RECOMMENDATION OF the city s
popuation has produced the inevitable result.
The first demand was refused by Secretary
Noble because no evidence was presented in
support of the claim that the Federal count
was incorrect. No evidence having been pre-
scnted in the meantime, there was nothing for
the Secretary to do but to repeat his former
refusal His decision is printed in our col
umns this morning 1t is plain statement OF
the facts, and is evidently intended to be final.
At the same time the Secretary has al
ready shown that he is not to be swerved by
insults or rritatiOns from his duty to see that
the decennial census is made as complete and
accurate as practicable. The Secretary is quite
aware, apart from the indecent ISLANDERS OF
Democratic partisanshp that there are grounds
for gravely distressing the completeness OF the
census as whole, though there are none what
ever for supposing that it was Intentionally
distorted or that its incOmpleteness does in
Justice to one party rather than another.
1t was properly remarked by Secretary
Noble in his letter TO Governor Hill, that
the Southern States had made no complaints
of unfairness, and that hitherto the only
from the State of Oregon and from county
therein. Now New-York officials insolently
pretend that records which the Mayor does not
dare to leave with United States officers for
comparison and scrutiny should nevertheless
be taken as proof of errors in this city. If it
were certain, as it plainly is not, that the haste
of enumerators to get through their work in
time had caused important inaccuracy here,
there is not yestige OF evidence which a re-
spectacle lawyer would venture to offer in any
court to show that such omissions were for
partisan purpose, or that they are not more than
balanced by similar omissions in other quarters
where the loss falls upon the Republican party
In the absence of any such evidence the as
sertion by Governor Hill and others that the
census has been doctorcd for partisan pur-
pose is simply shameless.
1t is utter folly to talk of defeating new
apportonment because the census is more or
less inaccurate, as every census has been. The
Constitution requires apportiOnment on the
basis of the decennial enumeration, which has
been made, and which there is no reason to
suppose unfair to one party rather than an
other. TO deny such an apportionment is
simply a revolutionary denial of constitutional
rights. But the duty of Congress to correct
errors so far as possible is not less clear, and
happily the two duties can be recOncied with
out difficulty. The first step is to apportion
Representatives among the States as closely as
possible according to the enumeration now
made. At the same time, Congress can re-
auire efforts to correct any errors in the
enumer<tion and provide for additional repre-
saptation IL any errors aDpear of such magni-
tude as to require that remedy

COLONEL ADDISON.

The monrnful intelligence comes from Chicago
Of the death Of Colonel Willard Addison.
Colonel Addison died at the Palmer House in that
for the authorities 20 take charge of the funeral
and meet all expenses. The official funeral fur
nished by the city of Chicago may be said TO be
neat rather than gaudy, the average expense
having been reduced to So 10; and that man Of
genius like Colonel Addison should meet such an
end is indeed pitifuI.
At the risk Of repeating what is already well
known, We desire To say a few words about the
rema rltable career of Colonel Addison. The
reader who is 50 unfortunate to be unacquainted
with Colonel Addison's work may ask how IL was
that he should die at frst-cass hotel and still
not leave enough money behind to pay funeral
expenses. 1t was this very thing which was
the keynote OF the Colonel's whole lfe-he never
left money behind. 1t is hw estimate TO say
that Colonel Addison has left rst-class hotels five
thousand different times in no case leaving money
behind. lie was consistent TO the last.
Early in life Colonel Addison conceived a great
liking for 1rst-class hotels Ills mind rose far
above boarding houses furnished rooms.

hotels But, unfortunately, Colonel Addison was

accordingly brought his mind to bear on the
subject and the result was his two celebrated
inventions, the Addison Collapsible Trunk. and

THE BRITISH PROPOSALS.

Ex-Secretary Bayard's organ, 1.-The Balti-
more Sum-" has recently printed in full the text
of proposed convention dealing with the
Behrng Sea difficulty. The author of the con-
yention is Sir Julian Pauncefote, Her Majesty S
Minister at Washington. Sir Julian appears to
have taken Mr.. Bayard's newspaper organ into
his confidence without waiting to ascertain the
views of the Administration upon his PROPOSE
ton. or even to make il known to them, though
he tells 1.-The Sun's'' correspondent that it
will be submitted to the State Department i'm
mediately." This procedure is, we think, some
what novel. Treaties are not usually given
out before they are presented to the parties
between whom the contract is to be made.
Sir Julian renews to Mr.. Bayards organ the
assurances he had previously given it that Great
Britain wishes to be fair, and is painfully
anxious to reach friendly settlement of the
question. This convention, he ventures to
hope, will be received as an indication that
such spirit prevails in Downing Street The
preamble, Sir Julian says, " sets out the facts"
These are, first, that the United States and
Russia have invited England to agree with
them to an international regulation of the seal
fishery second that differences of opinion
have arisen az to the necessity for such a
treaty; third, that in consequence of these
differences a commission is to be appointed to
investigate and report upon them, and fourth,
pending the ultimate decision OF the question
modus yivendi is 10 be enforced. The qnes-
tons these experts are to answer are thus
stated by Sir Julian:
First-whsther regulations properly enforced upon
the breeding islands, Robin Island in the Sea Of
Okhos and the Commander Islands and the Priby Low
Islands. in the Behrng Sea, and In the territorial
waters surrounding those islands, sufficient for the
preservation OF the fur seal species7 SecondIf not.
how far from the islands Is 1t necessary that such egu
lstions should be enforced In order TO preserve the
speciesf ThirdIn either Of the above cases. what
shonId such regulations provide FOurtil-If close
season Is required on the breeding Islands and terri
torisI waters. what months should ~ embraced Fifth
IL close season Is necessary outside of the breeding
islands wel what extent Of waters and what
period or periods should II embrace?
Now, II the experts can't agree, the three
Governments are to decide after considering
what the experts say and il the three Govern
ments are also unable to reach harmonious
conclusion. they are to send the case to an
arbitrator and accept his award. Pending the
report OF the experts and for six months there
after there is 70 be no sealing in the Sea OF
