The bill introduced into the House of Commons to prohibit seal catching by British ships in Behring Sea, which the cable assures us will pass without opposition, is decided concession on the part of the Salisbury administra- tion and tacit agreement to submit the question to arbitration. The period for which seal catching by British sub jects is 10 be interdicted is not stated in the bill, but the order will undoubt- edly remain iu furce until the question IS arbitrated The bill clothes all com. manders of English naval vessels with power to stop and examine any British vessel suspected of violating the order, and where evidence exists that the or der has been contravened they may seize and detsin such vessels subject to forfeiture, and courts having jurisdic- ton may award to officers bringing in such ships any portion of the proceeds of the sale of forfeited ships as they shall see fit. This order in conjunction with the Presidents proclamation, al ready issued, should effectually stopthe slaughter of seals in Behring Sea until such time, at least, as the two govern ments shall come 10 definite under standing on the question. In all the negotiations touching the Behring Sea dispute, Secretary Blaine's statesman ship is acknowledged as pre- eminent and any attempt to belittle his services will be discountenanced by the Ameri- can people in whose regard he is firmly %stshlirbed

Tho Prescott Journal Miner says Judge Gooding has decided that the county expense law is valid act. II Is an infamous measure in its effect, be it legal or not"
 The act is but another exempliiica. tion of "robbing Peter to pay Paul, , or in other words, suspending paymen, of obligations already incurred for which warrants on ,he several county troasuries have been issued. Preferred claims of official salaries, fees and mile age; fees of jurors and witnesses; coun- ty printing and advertising; books and stationery; feeding county prisoners; the care of indigent sick; water, wood, lights and like supplies for county in- stitutions; insurance and necessary re- pairs of county buildings, but nothing else is authorized to be paid from the Expense Fund, not even for the repair pr building of any road or bridge, or burial of deceased paupers. And this Is the bill for which Cochise county paid S450 for drawing and lobbying to put it through the legislature.

Tie mobbing of Saunders, one of the jurors ID the Shankland murder trial at Tombstone, was Q most disgraceful af- fair, and for the reputation of the town, the law-sbiding citizens of that commu- nity should combine in determined effort to curb the lawless element which has made such bold attempt to throt- tie justice, and if necessary, to purify the moral atmosphere, Judge Lyhchs services should be availed of. Ssund- CTS offence was maintaining his convic- ton that Slankland was guilty of the murder of Dr. Willis, against the opin- ion of the eleven other iurymen. The killing of Dr. Wilhs in December last, IS still fresh in the memories of the people of Southeastern Arizona. lie was twice shot by Shankland and mor- tally wounded, just when he had entered his buggy and taken the hnes from the stsbleman. The act was premedita- ted and wholly unjustitiable. When the case came to trial important wit. nesses for the prosecution were induced by threats not to testify, and had it not been for the determined stand of Saunders, Shankland would have been turned loose. In view of the strong feeling over the case in Tombstone, it would be wise in the court transfer it to some other county for trial
 Since the above was written it has been learned that four men were ar- rested and tried before jury for the assault on Saunders, three of whom were found guilty.

One of the principal topics of debate at the recent conference of national charities in Indianapolis was the immi. grafton problem Many excellent sug- gestions were offered among the yarie- ty of views expressed and among the most practical was the position taken by Rev. Myron VI Reed who declared that the greatest danger to be appre- hended from unrestricted immigration Is not in the number of paupers and criminals landed on our shores, but from that class of able bodied but gross ly ignorant foreigners who can not be assimilated. The paupers we can take care of and the criminals we can punish, but hundreds of thousands of laborers who can save money when earning six ty or seventy cents day, coming in open competition with labor, native or otherwise, which has been accustomed to nutrihve and varied diet, and to clean and decent shelter. means the de gradatioa and pauperizing of millions. Intelligent and well fed and clothed la- hor cannot raise these wretched peol le to their level, but through cunjeti- ton, the wretched and poorly paid can drag the latter down to their dograda- ti.n. To-day, if all Europe compelled a standard of wages which would enable labor to become generous consumers of the products of labor, it would have less poor and unemployed seeking other lands and would not be fighting 10 se- cure foreign markets.

 An attempt was made to rob the grave of the body of P, T. Barnum, at Bridgeport, Conn on the night of the 2Sth ultimo. The robbers, although fired upon by the guards who have been nightly in attendance since the date of the interment, effected their escape. When the body was placed ill tne un. derground vault stone slab weighing two tons was placed over the mouth of the tomb, making 1t apparently secure from the attacks of grave desecrators. This fact was evidently known to the scoundrels, for they did not attempt to dig down into the grave, as is done in ordinary cases, but started tbeir exca- vations at the side, They were fully equipped for the work, and in an hour, but for the presence of the guards, the body of the great snowman would have been spirited away, to be bartered for like ordinary merchandise.

SUNDAY REST IN pnasrx.
(Herald.)

AAhSAaidst
 While strict observers of the com. mandments enjoining Sabbath Day re- strictions are disposed to criticise the secular customs apparent on tha. day in PhnniS, it is fact thnt the Capital City is really in touch with greut Euro pean counties like France, Germany and Hungary, which are striving to make that day m occasion for rest sim ply, leaving all religious service to per sonal preference.
 Summing up review of the Conti- mental Sunday laws, editor Dana, of the New York Sun, says;
 ''lt will not be the iast dny our Sab batarians would make it here. It will coatinue to be a holiday, day of rest, recreation and pleasure. There will be less work and more play,
 Practically, also, the American Sabbath, us the Ssbbatariaus call it,
  no longer exists in New York or other large cities of the Union The great majority of the people do not even go to church, and of the minority who at tend religious services the vast majority observe the remainder of Sunday as a day Uf pleasure Even the number of profcssed Sabbatariaus in New York who practice what they preach Is very small Even Colonel Shepard of the Mail and Express is not included amoug them, The American Sunday and the Continental Sunday are growing more and more alike"

II is gradually beginning to dawn on the popular mind that our recent ab- normal exports of gold are due not to the fact that We are the weakest among the great financial nations, and hence most easily deprived of what we have, but to the fact that we are just now, by all odds. the strongest It is beginning to be observed, as highly encouraging symptom, that while our spring outflow of gold to Europe is fast approaching the $50, 00h, 900 mark, there is scarcely a ripple in our iinnncial waters, much less a finaLcial tempest.
