The Behring Sea Dispute.

From the Globe Democrat.
The only complication of any inn
portance in our intercourse with for
eign nations is the controversy with
Great Britain over the Behring Sea
matter. There are some points In the
case which our Government Is bound
for certain general reasons to main
tain; but at the same time it can not
afford to delay q settlement by inter-
posing technical pleas, or by refusing
to accept little less than the full
measure of its demands. Our position
is by no means absolutely and thor
oughly right. We are really claim
ing more than belongs to US by q
strict Interpretation of international
law, though not more, perhaps, than
is our due in equity. The protection
of the seal fisheries is a question Of
interest, politically as we'll as COM
mercially, and it will not do to con-
cede that we are practically at the
mercy of another nation in this re-
spect; but whether the basis of our
claim is doubtful, to say the least, we
should not be in haste to talk about
resorting to extreme measures for its
enforcement. 1t is reasonably GER
tain that the seals are disappearing
rapidly, and that in the absence of
restrictive measures they must soon
become extinct; but if they can be
saved only by going to war, then it
would probably be better to let them
vanish. The issue is one of business
for the most part, and it should De
considered in prudent and deliber-
ate way.
There is no desire for a war with
Great Britain or any other country
about a matter of this kind. A single
days cost of such war would eX-
coed the value of all the seals in the
disputed waters; and SO in the event
of our triumph we should have no.
thing to show for it but bill of sent
mental exultation. Great Britain
offers to submit the case to the ar
bitration of q friendly power, under
the recognized rules of law: and If we
reject a proposition of that kind we
facility admit that our claim will not
bear close and impartial scrutiny. 1t
is true that she objects to the intro
duction of the question of equitable
rights as against the arbitrary letter
of the International law; but would
we not do the same thing under the
same circumstances? We have been
advocating the policy of arbitration
for many years, and Is would surely
not he consistent for US to declare
war in the face of a request for the
adjustment of controversy accord
ing to that policy. The President is
said TO be preparing special mes
sage upon the subject, in which he
will ask Congress for liberal ap-
preparation to meet the expense of
fitting out revenue vessels for opera
tious against the marauders who are
expected to enter Behring Sea next
June and July. It is to be hoped that
Congress will consider the situation
very carefully before authorizing
such proceeding. The resources
of diplomacy have hardly been ex-
hausted in the case, and additional
efforts should be- made to effect an
amicable solution of q problem that
is not worth fighting over.

Grief lad driven John Kean mad. Sui,

whom he had loved so dearly.
Up TO recently there was no happier
home in Newark, n. j., than John Kean
He lived In pretty house on Plain street
with his wife and FIVE children and every
thing went well with him. He was an ex,
pert machinest In the employ of Hewes &
Phillips, iron manufacturers, and his Fay
was large.
Kean's whole life seemed bound up in
his children, but Of all he loved Fl0ssie
best She was a beautiful girl Il years
old. and the affection which her father be,
slowed upon her was returned thousand
fold.
Early last week Kean's five children
were stricken with malignant dlphtheria
and from the first the family physician look
ed for some Of them to die.
flossies case was especially bad, and
the poor father was nearly distracted. He
never left her bedside and his prayers to the
doctor to save her life were pitiable to
listen to. Everything possible was done
for the children but the disease had at
tackled them in its most desperate form and
medical skill availed nothing.

compelling the English buyer to pay twelv
cents more for the silver bullion used to
buy bushel of wheat In India, and hence
raising the competing point that much, and
the other that consumption IN wheat has
very nearly caught up with production.
Our average of wheat has been practically
the same for ten years, and has now begun
to fall of, while the yield per acre has de-
creased twelve per cent. This advantage
has been neutralized by the decrease in ex-
ports until it's but short period when,
because the lack of new wheat fields, the
exhaustion Of the old and the increase of
population, there will be no surplus for
export except in unusually favorable years
Our farmers will then begin to grow win
ter wheat, and it is important that they
begin TO learn as soon as possible.
This is one of the points Old which the
western farmer can learn from his eastern
brother. We regard two points as estab-
lished. One, that winter wheat must in
al cases be drilled in. Nothing but disap-
pointment and vexation can be expected
when farmers SOW winter wheat broadcast.
The fellow who keeps the scrub bull and
breeds to the crossroads ''hoss, " will con-
are not addressing him just now. Wheat
must be drilled IN and if drill is not to
be had plow it in, but by all means get it
down deep.
Next, It must be Oh a solid bottom. In
our drying climate the cay iIIary connection
of the surface with the subsoil broken up
by blowing must be re-estabished. If the
ground is fall plowed, it should be done
early and narrowed as soon as plOwed and
the bottom made compact and solid.
When corn stands up well and is toieT-
ably clean. the best chance for winter
wheat in the west is TO drill it in with corn
The seed bed is already prepared. The
bottom is solid, and the top loose and mel
low, and all that is necessary is to use a
one-horse drill which can be adapted to the
width of the rows. The corn stalks should
be allowed to stand and catch the snow, and
then broken down late in the spring. 1t
should be drilled in early in September so
as to give time for growth before winter
sets in. This plan has its objections.
namely, corn is apt to blow down and the
ground Is left too rough for sowing grasses
One of these objections can be obviat-
ed to certain extent at least in some sea-
sons by sowing early, and the other has no
force where the intention is to pasture and
not DOW the lands so needed. The whole
subject is one that demands the careful
study of the western farmer who, If we
mistake not, will be wheat grower in the
future, and to a greater extent than he
now expects.
