A NUMBER of British war vessels have
been sent to Behring sea to Cooperate
with the American cruisers in enforcing
the sealing agreement. Notwithstanding
this, many seals will be surrepiitiously
taken, Bebring sea is vast expanse of
water, and it is imprscticable to so effec,
lively police it with few vessels as to
prevent poachers from making catches.

A Plan Practiced by the Dark Skinned

Savages produce fire by rubbing two
pieces of wood together, but the methods
of doing this are various. Some tribes Il Ike
two pieces of wood, and, sharpening one of
them to point, insert it in hole made in
the other piece, and twirl it rapidly UT til
sparks fly out, which they catch on finder,
and fire is thus kindled.

A MAGNIFICENT ARGUMENT

In his address to the people Of
Pomeroy, Ohio, Major Mckinley
was able to make use of an argu-
ment that went home with tell
ing effect. A large rolling mill
was erected in Pomcroy several
years ago, but for a long time
previous to last October it had
stood idle and empty.
When the Mckinley law went
into effect it brought an immedi,
ate industrial awakening to the
town. The rolling mill was
promptly set to work and it is
now running night and day man
ufacturing cotton ties. 1t EN-
ployS 800 workmen at gooC
wages where none were employ
ed before, and it furnishes the
means of comfortable support tc
1900 or / 500 persons. .
With such an example of the eff
feet of the Mckinley law, il
would be strange indeed if tn,
citizens of Pomeroy did not vot,
Overwhelmingly to sustain i
and to elect its gallant author to
the Governorship of Ohio. Ant
what the present tariff has don,
for Pomeroy in building up a new
industry it has done for scores o
other towns all over the Unitec
States.

ISLAND POND, Vt, SEPT. II, 1891.
EXPOSED.

For months the Democratic
press has reiterated the charge
that the United States Treasury
was virtually bankrupt, No
considerations of patriotism or
of regard for the credit of the
government have had the slight
est weight with the free trade or
gans. They have made use of
every trick of misrepresentation
within their power in concerted
effort to break down the credit of
the United States among its own
citizens.
And what an awfully "bank-
rupt United States Treasury" it
is The Secretary tells the owners
of $5O.OOO,OOO of Az bonds to
step up to the Office and ex-
change them for two per cent.
bonds or take their money. Is
that the way bankrupt concerns
talk and act? When Republi-
cans took hold of affairs thirty
years ago Democratic Treasur-
or was paying II per cent, and
glad to get money at that.
The prolonged howl of the
Democratic organs about a
bankrupt Treasury was as dis.
honest as it was malicious. II
was the result of a deliberate
partisan conspiracy, To-day
the utter falsity of the cry and
the contemplate motives OF the
conspirators are alike exposed
before the people.

DAKOTA'S DIVORCE MILL.

The State of South Dakota has
of late been overwhelmed by peo-
pie from other States seeking for
divorce. The reason for this
appears to be not much the liber-
atty of the statute as to causes
for which divorce can be granted
as the brevity of the period OF
residence-ninety days after
which an application can be
filed. The obvious remedy for
the evil would be to increase the
required period to at least one
year, and then to require some
evidence that the petitioner is
not a resident for divorce pur.
poses only.
1t is the plain duty of every
State to discourage as much as
possible the formation of divorce
colonies. Such matters should be
tried and decided in the localities
where the parties are really resi-
dent, and where the merits ofthe
case are more readily arrived at

This question of honest money
is little, if any, less important
than that of a protective tariff.
Protection cannot be effective
when the dollar of the foreign
laborer is better than that of the
domestic laborcr. The whole
advantage of the protective pol.
icy may be neutralized by a de
probation Of the currency.

VALUABLE SERVICES to the COUNTRY.
The subjoined is from the New
York Tribune, and it deserves the
widest circulation possible, hence
its publication in the HERALD.
There is one fact on which OPP
ponents of the present Admins
tration may rely. The Ameri-
can people always try to do JUS
tice to their officials. They Judge
public servants by their work.
If an Administration has done
useful things for the country, if it
has substantially benefited all
classes of citizens, if it has in
creased the demand for American
labor, extended the demand for
American products, and thus
contributed greatly to the Ma
tional prosperity, the plain peo-
pie of this country can be relied
upon to remember that fact, and
to give it infinitely more weight
than all the ISLANDERS and Slurs
that partisan malice can suggest.
1t will not be denied, even
by the most prejudiced parti,
sans, that the present Rcpubli-
can Administration has done
something for the country.
About details, about the extent
of benefits secured, men may hon
estly differ. But Democrats as
we'll as Republicans frankly ad.
NIT that certain measures, in.
augurated and successfully car
ried through by the Administra
ton, have been of real public ser
vice. For instance, no one now
denies that the Reciprocity
Treaty with Brazil has enlarged
American trade, and in branches
which especially needed stimulus
because production had some
what outrun home cOnsump
ton. There are thousands o
producers and merchants who
personally feel this improvement
in their business, and are not
slow to recognize it. They are also
aware that the good results o
this step has been realized only il
part as yet, and that an enor
nous further expansion of trade
with Brazil may be reasonably
expected in the future.
Looking further, producer:
and merchants also realize thai
similar negotiations with Venez
uela, Mexico and other Power:
of Central and South America
will in all probability result il
additional and important bene
J fits. They know that within thu
: last two weeks steamers hav,
been crowded with American
products destined for Cuba ant
Porto Rico, and that the new
: treaty with Spain has given ;
: great impetus to trade with TIL
West Indies. Nor do they forge
: that the preliminary treaty a
present in force is far less bene
fetal than the more complete
treaty of which this countr,
will feel the advantages a yea
or two hence. In the prosecu
| ton of this policy alone the Gov
l erement has undoubtedly addet
7 many millions to the foreign de
mand for products of American
= industry, and without lesseninj
f in the least degree the defence o
: that industry against foreigl
competition.
Now comes another achieve
ment of real Importance. Tt
r millions of farmers and to thou
sands of manufacturers and mer
S chants 1t is agrand triumph, ant
e one OF enormous value, that tn
l German prohibition of pork pro
