Grave Seal RuInOrs.

The New York Tribune, which Is
generally regarded as giving voice to the
opinions Of the administration, recently
published an editorial warning Great
Britain that If the assembling Of a fleet
on the coast of British Columbia and the
strengthening of the Halifax defenses
was intended TO have any effect upon
the seal fishery negotiations il could not
fail TO lessen the chances of the Cana
dians for favorable sentiment.
Naval demonstrations may help along
negotiations with European powers as
they recently did with Portugal, but II
Americans understand that the presence
Of the British feet has any such mean
ing II will be very bad for John Bull.
There seems TO Ike some danger that this
seal business will grow to really war
like proportions, for dispatches from
Ottawa represent the Canadians in n
very touchy frame of mind over the In.
structions supposed to have been issued
to our revenue cutters, and II is charged
that the whole of the present tanglc in
the negotiations Is due TO conspiracy of
the North American Commercial COM
pany, which has in some way Influenced
President Harrlson's administration To
a change of position in the dispute.
They object to the dispatch of the rev.
enue cutters while negotiations are
pending
There are so many conflicting stories
that II Is hard to guess the truth, but IL
seems reasonable that our government
should insist that the seal shall not be
exterminated while we are negotiating
over the method of protecting them.
The imperial war Office has sent TO OF
tawa report Of extensive defensive
works which are to be at once under
taken, and no ono seems to know what
1t means, unless the Behring sea business
il to blame.

make q vindication. II is = strange
fashion that leads man to meet grave
charges by asking his fellow men to put
him In the highest authority over them.
Our grandfathers answered charges of
this kind with cold steel or bullets, and
we think ourselves more civilized be-
cause we rely upon courts of law to pun
ish libel, but the further refinement of
guilty silence and an appeal to the pco-
pie for vindication by ballot is not to be
commended; certainly not when the
accused is notorious for crooked election
methods and the bossing Of conventions.
An acquiesence of the Republican voters
in this Quay scheme Of vindication will,
a. Mr.. Lea points out, hopelessly wreck
the already slim chances Of that party
when 1t goes before the people in 1892.
for such vindication will only serve to
draw attention TO the one-man-power
character of the organization and that il
a condition that the mass of Americans
cannot tolerate whatever may bc the
taste of Pennsylvania.

In the current number of the North
.fmericdn Repiew there Is an article on
"Speakcr Reeds Error" signed "X. NJ.
c." II is 80 remarkable for accurate and OK
tensive knowledge of the history OF the
House and for familiarity with parliament.
AIRY law that il has made quite stir In
Washington, and many believe n to be
from tho pen of Secretary Blaine, who AS
an ex-speaker of the House is one Of the
first living authorities on that topic. The
article forcibly exposes the unconstitu-
tional character of all legislation that has
been accomplished under Speaker Reeds s
quorum counting rules and that tyrant il
said to be very sensitive TO any allusion to
II. II Is rumored that he has even been
heard to bitterly denounce Blaine rs the
author. Denunciation Is not, however,
argument, and IL he wants TO save his
bacon Mr.. Reed will have to answer the
criticisms and prove the constitutionality
of his remarkable proceedings.

Ballot Reform.

The best and most thoughtful citizens
everywhere throughout the land are de-
manding ballot reform as the only
method of securing honest elections. II
b the most important question now be-
fore the people, for the evils of our pres
ept eystem are becoming yearly more
Let us briefly consider but one phase
Of the problem. A few gears ago one OF
our most distinguished citizens, a gen.
tleman Of large practical experience in
politics, in an address upon municipal
government before the Board of Trade,
declared that one-fourth of our voters
were bought at every important elec-
ton. The party with the longest
purse could always elect its canii-
dates. In 1890, when the first census
S0f the United States was taken, only
one twenty-tifth of our population dweit
In cities in 1880 more than one-fifth
was urban, and the present census will
doubtless reveal still larger proportion.
1t Is well known too, that city's polit-
ical corruption increases with its popu-
lation--that cities larger than Lancaster
contain larger proportion of corrupt
voters. But counting only upon the
basis of one-fourth, the results, to say
the least, are startling. Ii more than
one-fifth of our population is urban, and
one-fourth of our city voters sell their
ballots to the highest bidder, how can
we avoid the conclusion that all our
most important elections, municipal,
county, state and national, are con-
trolled by the party which secures the
largest corruption fund?
Does not this also explain the rise to
high place, to power and influence, of
men like Quay,w are eminently skill
fui In obtaining and expending such
funds?
A system which makes farce of Re-
publican government, and raises TO the
highest seats of public honor men like
Quay, ia spite of shameful records, low
intellectual endowments and utter want
lof moral character, is doomed. The stars
IN their courses fight against it. Yet
who IL 50 foolish as to imagine that the
party OF Quay, which has proiited so
greatly by it, will ever consent TO its
abolition? Who, so foolish as to think
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania,
who have suffered so greatly under this
system, will not, upon the first oppor
tunity, wipe it forever from existence I?

The Hope Of Kansas Farmers.

The farmers Of Kansas and Nebraska
oxe said to be In cheerful frame Of
mind at present because of q hope they
have that they will make more by their
labor than they have in recent years.
Hope h good thing to have, but when
n 6eferred II "maketh the heart SICK"
and there Is every reason to fear that
there will be sickness Of that kind
among the Kansas farmers. The ground
for their hope IL the fact that less wheat
and corn Is being raised, because Of last
years low prices, while the farmers are
turning their attention to the fattening
\ Of stock and count upon getting better
Y pay for their products all around. They
even talk of paying the mortgages
which they have been SO bitterly de-
nouncing through the Farmers AL
lance
The programme may be carried out,
and for the good of the whole country
it is 10 be hoped so but the difficulty is
In believing that wheat or corn prices
can be fixed by limit Of the home sup
ply. We grow more than we need at
! any rate, and the price is fixed by the
ng6re at which the surplus can be sold
ip foreign markets. The Kansas farmer
)eels the CALLING yoke Of the mortgage,
<Ard through his Farmers Alliance he
rebels against 1t and so cripples himself
In his labor, for he needs capital and the
mortgage gives 1t to him. II is not the
mortgage companies that are to blame
for his troubles, for they are often very
al t,.of Cos bsl,
over rough places. II is his poverty and
hard conditions that make him unable
to bear the yoke, and it IL heavy but
Indirect taxation and the reckless
stihing Of our foreign commerce that
make him poor. The secretary of
agriculture was recently forced to admit
the hard lot of the farmer and coun-
sclled moro varied culture of crops and
I attention 10 vegetables, but that sounds
like prescription Of cough drops for
hydrophobia. Neither the Farmers AL
liance by an assault on loan companies,
nor the administration by instruction In
4 farming can cure the nation Of Its agri-
!, cultural malady. The cure can only
begin when the nation accepts the firm
bed rock Democratic principle that
taxation must be the means and not the
end Of government. We must not tax
for the purpose of protecting indus
/; Tries, but protect industries as much
4 - possible by taxes levied for the
Dolc purpose of meeting the expen-
4 ses Of government economically ad-
ministered. The acceptance of that
clear and common sense principle will
( mean the prompt checking of the fea +.
pension extravaganza now promis-
Ing to reach proportions that amaze the
\ 0EgAnizer Of the Old Worlds costly
.arfnies. 1t will mean an economical
but not narrow parsimonious admins.
trstion Of every branch of the govern
ment, development Of our commerce
without subsidies, and prosperity more
lasting and true than any that can be
bought by Wanamaker campaign funds
or won by the Vaccinations of men like
Quay, Dudley or Clarkson.

A Little Wide of the Mark,

From The Chicago Tribune.
The eloquent temperance lecturer paused,
wiped his peIspiring brow, and said inn
pressiyely to the man on the front seat,
Who had listened with the deepest Interest

by its pathos and argument "My friend,
