that Behring Sea is mare clausum than the
presence of British gunboats in the neighbor-
hood of our Pribiloff Islands. We can fancy
no demonstration more admirably calculated
to unite this country in the resolute deter
minaton to persist in its extreme demand
than the sight of British cruisers lowering
around our Atlantic coasts. 1t is desirable that
Great Britain should appreciate this point.
Americans cannot suppose that this unusual
congress of warships is an expression OF genuine
British sentiment. But whatever it means, 1T
serves no good purpose, and the British Gov
eminent will do itself favor by ordering its
cruisers away.

BRITISH GUNS IN WESTERN WATERS.
Congress has acted wisely in calling upon the
President for the State documents bearing upon
the Behring Sea controversy. 1t is evident
that Mr.. Blaine and Lord Salisbury are still
long way apart in their views. 1t is evident,
too, that the British Premier is advancing some
most absurd contentious, and that he Is en-
deayoring to make obstinacy do the work OF
fact and logic. There is some reason to be-
lieve that certain quality of menace has been
impaired to his later tones This, at least, may
be assumed when his arguments are looked at
in the light of his actions. His Government
appears to be engaged in an attempt to apply
here the prevalent European doctrine that peace
is best assured by offensive demonstrations. In
this situation it will be well for the American
people to examine for themselves the merits OF
the controversy. They should understand 1t
thoroughly. The dispatches which have passed
between our State Department and the British
Foreign Office will tell the story, and both sides
of it, officially and deliberately.
Some curious military and naval operations
have been going On lately about our coasts.
Great Britain has been strengthening her splen-
did defences at Halifax, increasing her military
and naval forces there adding TO her fleet at
the Bermudas and the Bahamas, and sending
considerable squadron into Behring Sea. IL
she desires this display to be interpreted by the
United States as a menace she is engaged in
a foolish and regretable business. No one sup
poses that England would undertake war with
the United States. No one supposes that her
Government or ours, her people or ours, would
do anything which would justify war; We
are of one flesh and blood, and if conflict of
arms is possible in this eve of the twentieth
century between the people of Great Britain
and the people of the United States, our com
mon race is much further from civilization
than has been supposed And yet, it cannot
be denied that so long as England holds her
American colonies opportunities for strife are
within sight, and they are magnifed by all the
circumstances which produce feeling Of
mutual distrust
1t is not agreeable to a spirited people to
feel that an effort is being made to awe them
into submissions by display of the engines
Of force. That sort of thing may be all well
enough in Europe, where the people are used
to it, and where their opinions and feelings
are Of less account than in America But we
can imagine no proceeding ON England's part
more likely 10 conyince the American people

Lord Salisbury's clear statement in the House
of Lords in reference to the bill for the cession
of Heligoland will doubtless be accepted as
satisfactory. So far as Great Britain is con-
cerned, he declared that the island was worth
less strategicaIly and of little value CONNER
ciaIly His opinion appeared to be that in the
exchange with Germany England was getting
more than she gave. Lord Roseberys remark
that Parliament ought to have the evidence OF
experts that the cession of the island would in
yolve no loss of military or naval advantage
does not. indicate that the Governments pro-
posals are to be met with determined OPPOSE
ton. In the Commons Mr.. Smith bespoke
favorable consideration for the Heligoland bill.
The contamination of the arrangement with
Germany is not likely to be long delayed

People who suffer from the fend who dciaces
natural scenery and whatever else ne can lay his
hands on will be interested in learning how q
Dobbs Ferry man brought him to grief the other
day. This Dobbs Fenyite, according to line
Yonkers Statesman" on returning from New-forK
the other evening, found that the board fence
behind his house and facing the railroad track had
been defaced during his absence with the WORD
Tippecanoe' in large blazing letters, three feet
long, in white paint. He at once swore out
warrant against John Doe the unknown offender,
and started in pursuit. The chase was Short
one. The offence was gladly condoned. The fence
was painted three coats, plain color, and $50 was
paid to charitable institution, which was selected
by the fence owner" 1t is safe to conjecture that
the scenery -defacing fend will leave that fence
severely alone in all the wide future. And IL
certainly would not take many such testimonials
to drive him out of business.

II is probable that Professor W. R. Harper, OF
Yale. will become the head Of the new Bapt1st
University at Chicago, which has taken shape and
life mainly through the generous efforts OF John
d. Rockefeller. of this city. The choice OF this
progressive and capable educator is one which
will commend itself not only to the members OF
the Baptist denomination, but to friends of educa-
ton and learning throughout the country. Pro-
fessor Harper's services at Yale, his energetic
direction of the Summer School at Chautauqua,
his work as Biblical scholar, and his attachments
as an author, mark him as eminently tit for the
place to which it is said the directors Of the new in
stitution will assign him. The field of labor
which the boundless West offers is an enticing
one, and the people of Chicago will have cause
for congratulation if Professor Harper decides to
give up Yale and the East for Chicago and the
West. He is by no means stranger to the West
and to Western ways, for in the West his first
distinction as scholar was won. He began to
teach Hebrew at Denison University while he
was tutor there, and later, at the Lake Forest
University in Illinois, he organized his famous
correspondence classes in his favorite study.
While at Lake Forest his fame spread to Yale.
