THE more the correspondence between
this administration and Great Britain is
studied, the more humiliating it appears
Pending the negotiations concerning the
best means Of protecting the seals from
determination, which was to be agreed
upon BY the different nations at interest,
ex Secretary Bayard had stipulated that
the United States would refrain
from the violent assertion Of a
disputed jurisdiction over the Behring
Sea. When the new administration
came in this promise was approved and
adhered to till President Harrison gave
secret orders, without Secretary Blaine's
knowledge or consent, for the seizure OF
sealing vessels by the United States
revenue cutters. The negotiations
meantime, had been going on between
Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Psunce.

except that not being lawyer Mr. Blaine
had introduced a new idea, namely, that
the seal fisheries were to be protected OF

than because the United States claimed

ONE Of the critics Of the papers Ia the
South wkich are threatening to boycott
the Northern industries in case the
Force bill is passed, says;
The expressions "our people and tour
neighbors over the border" have s
strange Sound to Northern ears. They
seem to suggest separate nationalitias,
not brothers Of the same family. We
fail to catch any fraternal feeling Ia
these remarkable utterancas. They
sound strangely ct variance with those
more frequently heard breathings Of
cordiality and patriotism.
The Force bill is poor disguise Of the
purpose and a scheme to pnt the carpet
bagger from the North and the negro in
possession Of the local governments and
TO send Republican representatives. from
Democratic states. The Southern people
have he'd a taste Of that sort Of govern
ment which saddled debts Of $22, 0oO. 90
on Louisiana and $4,000 600 on South
Carolina. II gave Louisiana the lottery
which che Is struggling to escape from
now. General Sheridan said that II
caused 2, 900 political murders in Missis-
sippl and Louisiana. Those are some Of
the salient facta. Is 1t worth these re-
suits and depression in industry and
depreciation in values to give the
Republican party few Repre-
sentatives from the South? Th,
Senators think not for they have modi-
fed the Lodge bill. Having had the OK
perience Of a similar scheme It is MOI
strange that the Southern people do no
fell on their knees and thank the Repub-
licaas for proposing to give them som,
more OF It.

to the lack Of justice given BY the courts

several cases. IL contain the following
paragraph:

THERE Is discomfort ia Osio The
farmers for whom tho protectionlsts
have been legIslating during the last
fifteen years are exhibiting tho discon-
tent. There is not a comfy In the
state which has not extensive manufac.
turing interests, that shows any gain in
real estate values. Nearly all counties
show a decrease; and many Of them a
great decrease. For example, Wayne
county, which Is one Of the best agricul-
tural counties in Ohio, shows decrease
ia its real estate valuation
from s16, 4as, $50 in 1880 to Q14. .0es, 1e0
In 1890, or 144 per cent. This decrease is
at the rate Of about 81 an acre in ap.
praised value, but as the valuation in
Ohio is always much below the selling
price neutrality-suspicious. counties from
40 TO 20 per cent. OF the market value
it is believed Tia at the decrease Of 81 an
acre in appraised value is equivalent to q
decrease Of et9 to $50 In market value.
The farmers assert that the decrease In
values is even greater than the above
facts indicate. Thus for few cents In
crease In the price Of wool fthe farmers
have been persuaded to barter away
millions OF dollars in she value OF
the ir lands and the produce from
from them. There are few flock masters
Ia Ohio to whom even quadrupled price
Of wool would make a considerable iu-
| crease OF income, there arc millions for
whom tho increased price OF wool would
be an additional expense The hocks are
usually Of fifty or one hundred sheep,
and the additional price Of wooleu
clothes in such cases would consume the
increase and more. In addition t
this Shere are taxes on every
thing else the farmer uses
Ifthe farmers Of Ohio arc capable Of put
ting two and two together they eanno'
fail to determine that the fGllaciou
home market has been their ruin-tha
they have bartered little wool for
great deal Of iron, sugar, salt, clothing
tin, coal, cutlery and everything els
that makes their homes expensive, thei
lands cheaper and their incomes smaller

COUNCILMAN CHAMBERS rammed
the charge Of bribery down the throats
Of his colleagues in open Council. No
body felt safe to reseat the charge. There
Is a general suspicion that no member
can resent the charge successfully. One
member has confessed that he was
bribed, while another member offers his
own inconclusive affidavit as proof that
he was not bribed. The inaction Of
Council in reference TO these charges is
calculated to deepen the suspicion Of the
truth Of the general charge of Mr..
Chambers, because every member Of
Council, no matter 10 which political
party he claims to give his discredited
adhesion, rests under the suspicion Of
the fear Of having his own record ex-
amined. No one dares to attempt "a
clear himself, no one dares to say to
those whose undtness is self confessed and
notorious what every honest mar
should say ''If yen co not resign ]

TINS from the New York Tribune Is
startling
There is little doubt that the pension
grabbers have reached tho farthest OK
tent Of their tether. They have almost
succeeded in making 10 reproach to
draw pension from the government.
Their wretched greed has rendered
patriotism mockery and added a new
calamity to the horrors OF war. No
such pitiful exhibition of venality
and 6emagogy combined as that
furnished in the history Of pension
legislation by Congress for the last
twenty years has ever before beeR made
In q civilized nation. Patriotism has
been turned int farce and heroism
into byword. The country has had
enough. A voting population Of

the Government to twentieth or their
number. Futher appropriations for
