WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Secretary Window

giving his views regarding the bill Ito repeal
SO much OF the act, of July l, 1870. chapter 1S9,
as authorizes the leasing Of the rights to en-
gage In taking fur seals from the islands OF st.
Paul and St George. and for other purposes"
The bill. says the Secretary. provides that the
present system OF leasing the right OF taking
fur seals from the well-known rockeries in
BehrinR Sea for an agreed compensation paid
to tho Government shall be discontinued. and
that the Secretary OF the Treasury shall as
sumo the management and control of such
business in all its details. 1t seems further to
direct the Secretary OF the Treasury to as
sumo management and control OF the taking
and killing OF any and all otter. mink. marten.
sable. or other fur bearing animals within the
limits OF Alaska Territory or the waters there
Of" and Of marketing the skins of such ami
mails In O prescribed manner. The Secretary
favors the leasing system, and In conclusion
says:
In my Judgment any minor faults attending the con.
tract system better be removed by increased vigil
lance OF administration than by any abolition of the
system itself and the substitution OF policy which
open to objections many and SO Fundamental. In

Freda. speaking Of her absence from homo,
said:
1T is big story about my being in New

Hospital, nor did write one saying that was
know where st. Joseph's Is.
Last August l was working In telegraph
office learning the business. ] received no

she had me arrested and brought before JUS
tioe Goetting. He discharged me. and instead
Of going home with my mother started out to
do for myself. l went to service with families
in Kosciusko street and In Bedford avenue. I
was two weeks In Worcester, Mass. with a lady
friend. On my return TO the city went to live
with family named Gill In Greenpoint. I got
work in the Eagle pencil works and am en-
ployod there now. l hope this arrest won't
cause me to lose my job. I will never live with
my mother, don't care what they do"
Justice Goetting committed Freda to st.

she would materially relieve her treasury,
for the island now costa the mother country
more than the most exacting fiscal system
can force it to repay. Nor would her ma
tional dignity be In the least impaired by
such acquiescence in the wishes Of the
islanders. II was TO the high honor and not
the shame OF England that che made over
the Transvaal to its Hollander occupants,
and gratuitously surrendered the Ionian
Islands to Greece. A Spanish Premier has
no cause to dread humiliation by treadlng
In the footsteps Of q British Prime Minister.
The pride OF Castillans is proverblally lofty,
but IL has long been outtopped by that OF
the nation which gives its citizens the pass
word: Cipis AnOlicdnus sum.
Spain, however has an opportunity OF
combining magnanimity toward the native
Cubans with rational consideration OF her
own pecuniary interests. She has undoubted-
ly chance Of doing what the Gar OF Russia
did without the faintest eclipse OF self
respect. She can sell an outlying fragment
OF territory at price representing not its
value to herself which now Is nil, butits value
to the purchaser, which might be enormous.
For the island which Gen. PRIM offered
through Minister BIdEnow to cede to the
United States for S9,oOO,oOO we could now
afford to pay hundred times as much, for
the yearly interest on such sum would at
four per cent. be only $12,OOO,o0O. To us, in
comparison with what the Americans would
develop in Cuba, the amount OF money named
is insignificant; but it would revolutionize
the finances OF Spain. There Is not fiscal
military, or social problem now taxing the
abilities OF Spanish statesmen whose 30
luton would not be immensely facilitated
by the acquisition of Three Hundred Millions
OF North American Dollars.
Annexation, as El Pals says, Is in the end
inevitable. But the value Of the island
under Spanish misgovernment is deteriorat-
ing hourly. The time may come when Span
ish statesmen, yielding to the irresistible
pressure OF events, will offer to sell Cuba for
a small fraction Of the price which they
might obtain to-day.

There seems to be q considerable difference
of opinion about the proper way Of paying
for the proposed new bridge between Brook
lyn and New York. Some wish to have the
two towns pay for it equally, and others
maintain that the greater part OF the ex-
pense should be borne by Brooklyn.
There ought not to be any dispute upon
this subject. Brooklyn and New York
should be united under one municipal ad-
ministration. They should form one city.
Their history is identical, and 30 is their
population; their interests are the same;
their occupations and purposes are the same;
they are ono in situation and in fact, and
they should be one in government.
The expense Of the new bridge to connect
the two shores of the East River should be
provided for upon common principle OF
taxation levied In the same manner and the
same ratio upon the two halves OF the great
and magnificent united municipality.

There appears to be much wonder among

There appears to be much wonder among
some Of our esteemed contemporaries at the
report that the poet SwINBURNE scorns to wear
an overcoat. The warm poetic temperament
OF men like Mr.. SwINBURNE and Mr.. HANNIBAL
HAMLIN sufficiently explains their dislike Of
overcoats. 1t is true that Mr.. HAMLIN has
made concessions not to prosaicism but to the
rigors OF the Maine climate. but his principles
are unchanged. Mr.. SwINBURNE is of Trailer
constitution than the hardy old politician from
Maine. His courage In rejecting overeoats is
to be commended. and we have no patience
with the flouting cynics who suggest that
heavy flannels, not poetic fires, keep him up In
the winter. Besides. without an overcoat, he
is nearer to the times and the art which he so
much admires- OF the overcoatless Mr.. SWIM
BURNE 1t may be said In his own words:
I'VE shift and bedock and bedrape u.s.
Thou art noble . and antique"
At the same time he should be cautioned
