THE SEAL FISHERIES.
Secretary Window Opposed to Govern
mental Management.

Secretary Window has written letter to
Senator Frye in response TO one from the Sem
ator inclosing Senate.bill 1869, ito repeal so
much of the act of July 1, 1870. chapter 1s9, as
authorizes the leasing of the rights to engage
In taking fur seals from the islands Of st. Paul
and ST. George, and for other purposes" and
requesting the Secretary to furnish the COM
mittee with suggestions touching the merits of
the bill and the propriety of its passage.
The Secretary takes the ground that it would
not be wise or practicable for the department
to attempt to conduct the seal fur trade. killing
the seal and marketing the pelts for the gov
eminent The report of Secretary McCulloch,
the reports Of the WAYS and means committee of
the Eorty-nlnth Congress and of the committee
on merchant marine and fisheries of
the last Congress are quoted in sup
port Of the present system of leasing.
and the Secretary states that the results
from the system have been very satisfactory to
the government. As further argument
against Senator Frye's plan he states that the
government agents would be at a great disad-
vantage in offering the pelts in the public
market by reason of the fact that they could
not enter into the secret and confidential trade
relations necessary to success in this business.
They could not adopt the customary business
methods. ''Such a method, " he SAYS, ''of con-
Quoting the government business would evoke
lncessant charges of fraud. collision and en-
DeZZlement, no matter now honestly the work
might be done. The whole business would be
involved in continual scandal and annoyance
and the Secretary would be harrassed until the
subject became simply uncomfortable. Follow
ing such failure would probably come an at
tempted return by the government to the con-
tract system, but with a market meantime de-
morallzed or DESTROYED and the value of the
seal industry correspondingly deprecated In
my Judgment any minor faults attending the
contract system can better be removed by in
creased vigilance of administration than by an
abolition of the system itself and the substitu-
ton OF policy which is open to objections so
many and SO fundamental. In view of these
self-evident difficulties the present system
commends itself to my judgment as the wisest
and best for the government to adopt for the
future. | believe that neither the
interests of the government nor of the natives
on those islands would be subserved by the
passage of this BILL"

10 the EutOr OF HE EVENING STAR:
The sunfiower once sacred to the sun god Of
Mexico, is. like the dahlia, which it resembles,
native of this continent. Being a useful and
favorlte plant. easily cultivated, it is univer-
sally diffused from Maine to Mississippi, which
boasts its county OF Sunflower and river Of
the same name. There are nearly fifty species
of this magnificent flower. The sun and stars
are our symbols. Foreigners accuse our flag Of
being plain and mean in design compared with
the gorgeous banners OF other nations The
emblematIc sunhOwer should adorn our banner
Is the rose and lily fourished on the standards
OF France and England in the days of chiyalry
With the eagle gazing at the sun surrounded
by stars the flag of America would be hard to
rival IN glory. RICHARD STUART EVANS

Remarkable Case.

Philadelphia, July 15.-Patrick Meehan, the 22-year-old inmate of the insane department of the Phil adelphia hospital, has awakened from sleep of four months and recognized those about him, and asked for the attendent who was with him when he sank into his slumber. He came from Ireland few years ago. He became men, tally diseased, was sent to the hos pital in February last, was seized with the grippe in March and the attendants found great difficulty in keeping him awake, and finally he fell into a deep sleep.
 The lack of nourishment became evident by his decreasing weight, death like palIor and pinched, wan feature, accompanied by a corpse like rigidity, together with an ap- parently general suspension of ami nation. Efforts to pry open the set jaws for the administering of food proved futile. A silver tube was inserted through the nose and down into the throat. A quart of milk in four doses was first given, after that eggs whipped in milk, and varying liquid diet was admin istered together with medicine. Meehan slept on immovable when pins were inserted in his flesh. Electricity was applied and heroic of sleep disturbance were tried, but there was no change in his mental condition.

time the people of Arizona and
 Mexico have to suffer for 1t all: There will be without doubt a good many more international agree ments before We hear the last of it. The people of Arizona still have confidence that General Miles will do all he can to protect us from these Indian outrages, and when they take place again we shall have to ask him to protect us against the foolish utterances of subordinates like Grierson." ."-Examiner.

If it be true, as alleged by sum- dry Arizona journals, that Territo- rial officials will be arbitrarily as- sessed a portion of their salaries to maintain the Arizona Republican and for campaign purposes, it will be a blot upon the honor of the Commonwealth and a disgrace to our citizens. An official performing certain duties is entitled to every cent of his legal compensation and any deduction made from it for par tisan purposes, without his free con- sent, is clearly illegal. It is every mans privilege and right to expend his earnings exactly as he sees fit and not as others may dictate. We hope the allegation of our contem- poraries is untrue, for journal sub- sisting upon forced contributions from office holders is beneath the contempt of the profession.-Yuma Times.
The St. Johns herald., 1890-07-31

body. It was carefully taken out
 and then it was found that murder 1 in terrible form had been commit
 ted. The body was that of Frazier,
 and he had evidently been tortured
 to death. He was bound and then
 literally cut to pieces by the human fends who had attacked him. Nine
 knife wounds were made clear across his abdomen, and his arms
 arms and legs were gashed, while his throat was cut from ear to ear,
 his windpipe being severed and the slash of the knife being so deep that the vertebra could be seen.
 The atrocity of this deed, follow ing so quickly upon the poisoning of Gibson, reused the friends of the two cattlemen, and they called up on the officials of the county and State to hunt down the murderers and avenge the foul deed. Rewards were offered, but with the offering of these rewards came another ele- ment of danger to the peace and welfare of the State. The organi- zation that accomplished the mur- ders and produced the reign of ter TOT was banded together so closely that for one to give a clew would be to place a halter on his own neck, and the result is that there is no possible clew which can be follow ed with the hope of success.
 All strangers who now go into the counties bordering on the line of the Cherokee strip are looked up- on with suspicion, and when ques- tions are asked regarding the death of either Gibson or Frazier the peo- pie stop their work and look at the questioner with such warning in their glances that he is brave indeed who will persist in his quest for information. These men have sworn to keep their pastures clear, and in doing so they will keep out all inquiries concerning their and actions. They fear the advent of detectives and look upon a newspaper correspondent with still more disfavor, and the daily question is, Who will be next?
The St. Johns herald., 1890-07-31

Juan Martinez, a freighter and one of the oldest of our Mexican residents, met with serious acci- dent Monday. He was looking for his mules near the ranch of T. T. Hunter, and in either mounting or dismounting from the horse he was riding, got one of his feet caught in the stirrup and was dragged some distance before he could free himself from the perilous position. He was brought to town by MT. Hunter, and Dr. Porter was called to attend him. The Doctor found that the fourth and fifth ribs on the left side of the body had been bro- ken near the backbone, and he had sustained other injuries not as se- rious. MT. Martinez is quite an el- derly man, but is recovering rapid ly from his injuries,-Wilcox Stock man.

Four Hundred per Week.

A recent dispatch from San An tonic, Texas, says: Warren Garrett, a prominent citizen of this city, has just returned from Saltillo, Mexico, and reports that smallpox is raging to a fearful extent in that city. The number of deaths there, said he, from smallpox have averaged over 400 per week for the past three months and new eases are reported daily.
 The epidemic is mostly among children and is confined to no par ticular locality of the city. There seems to be no quarantine measures adopted to prevent the spreading of the disease. There are scores of foreigners leaving the city and there is scarcely any travel into the strick- en place. When a person dies of the disease his body is placed on a board and carted away on the heads of men to the burial ground. The face is exposed and the winds pass ing over the body of the dead car ries the pestilence to all quarters of the city and surrounding country. Measles is also raging and many deaths are occurring from that dis ease among children.
