1t is remarked by the Inspector of
Explosives in England, in his fifteenth
annual report, that the number of
deaths by accident among 10, 900 per-
sons engaged in the manufacture of
explosives amounted last year only to
eight. For the seven years before the
Explosive Acts came into operation
there was an average of thirty-nine
deaths annually in this manufacture,
although the number employed was
very much smaller.

There is small doubt that Stanley
will return to Africa. The man who
has spent years in exploration and
who has demonstrated his great
capacity for opening up new regions
and for conciliating savage tribes can
not be expected to rest easy in the un-
exciting life of the civilized world. If
he confessed all that he feels Stanley
would say that never since he lost
Sight of the superb snowy peak of
Mt. Ruwentzori has he lost the desire
TO return and ascend it and also 10 cx-

CLOSE SEALING SEASON.
An Agreement Reached by American and
BrIli Authorities.


The agreement for closed season in
Bcring Sea was signed by the represent
atives of the two Governments, William
i. Wharton, Acting Secretary for the
United States, and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote for England. and the President at
once issued his proclamation ordering
the stoppage of seal killing, and
warning off the poachcrs. BY the pro-
visions Of the new modus vivendi both
Governments prohibit the killing of seals
Except the $500 necessary for the sup.
port of the Indians) until the first of
next May. To this end both govern
ments will cooperate to the extent Of
their ability, and the naval vessels Of
both powers are authorized to seize the
vessels found disobeying the agreement,
with this important proviso that vessels
so seized shall be turned over TO the
authorities to which they belong for
trial, the captors supplying the evidence.
Thus at last the orders have come from
the United States and from Great Brit
tain that the Canadian seal murderers
must desist from their brutal work, at
least until next May, by which time the
two countries may have settled by arbl-
tration, aud our naval vessels will pro-
coed at once to the sea 70 enforce the
proclamation Of the President There
is room for congratulation all round.
Great Britain may be congratulated
for its decision to no longer support the
mur1erous prctensions OF the Canadian
poachers. The administration may be
congratulated upon establishing a modus
viyendi pending the arbitration.

Mr.. Cleveland's Dilemma.

ExPresl1ent Cleveland has our sympa-
thy. His position as an aspirant for the
Presidential nomination of his party re-
quires of him an appearance of activity in
canvass in which lie plainly has no heart.
To be silent would give his opponents the
opportunity TO charge him with selfish in
difference to party success, and contrast
his inactivity with the zeal of mis- great
rival, Governor Hill. He has been driven
by the circumstances of his situation to
make two public appearances in behalf of
the Tammany ticket. At TIE same time,
he must be perfectly well aware that the
success of the ticket he ostensibly supports
will be fatal to his own aspirations, while
nothing that could happen would so pro-
mote his chances as It's defeat He is
clear sighted enough to see that the con-
troll of the Democratic State Convention
aud of the Democratic party in this State
by Tammany Hall can mean but one thing
so far as his own ambition Is concerned,
and that is his defeat He is not ignorant
Of the fact that this was what Tammany
meant when it causelessly and wautonly
kicked his friends out of the State Con-
vention. The fine work of Tammany at
Saratoga was not for this year but for
1892. Tammany had no motive in kick
ing out the County Democracy, except to
make itself absolute and obtain position
for defeating Grover Cleveland in 1892.
Mr.. Cleveland, of course, sees this. And
he also sees that his only chance to get a
footing in the National Convention is in
Tammany's defeat If successful in this
State next month solid Tammany dele
CATION IN the National Convention will be
able to say: 1.-The New York Democracy
have passed judgment on Mr. Clevelands
candidacy. We do not want him" If,
on the other hand, Tammany is defeated
next month Mr.. Cleveland's friends in the
National Convention will be able to say
This is what comes of the attempt of
Tammany Hall to defeat the will of the
people and crush Grover Cleveland. The
New York Democracy are for Cleveland"
II is state of things which puts the ex-
President in bad dilemma. He cannot
afford to oppose the Tammany ticket; nor
even be silent. Nor can he afford to have
Tammany succeed. He is between the dew
il and the deep sea.
If his two brief speeches thus far have
seemed labored, stilted involved, perfume.
tory and dull, it is doubtless for this rea-
son. He must say something to make
record; he must appear to be active in
favor of ticket whose success would be
his own death knell No wonder he found
ers about, talking in an aimless, uncertain
way about the National issues which the
other Tammany orators dodge, and avoid
ing the topics they are Tuning over. He
has our Sympathy in his embarrassment.
Never was an aspirant for office so ham
pered How glad he will be when it is
