THE CLOSED SEAL SEASON.

The English Parliament has conferred
upon the Ministry the power to order a
closed seal season in Behring Sea. If the
Ministry takes action it will be in the form
of proclamation warning British subjects
to abstain from taking seals during a Ger
tain period. But the seal poachers are al
ready in Behring Sea. They have prepared
for business this season as they have for
others. and it is only after considerable ex-
peDses have been incurred that the British
Government warns them not to proceed to
business. 1t is now intimated that Lord
Salisbury will insist that the United States
for losses incurred in fitting out vessels in
case the contentious of the Government are
not sustained by the Board of Arbitration.
While 1t is not worth while to let few
thousand dollars stand in the way of a set
Element of tile Behring Sea question, it may
be urged that the vessels that are now in
that sea have been fitted out in defiance of
the Presidents proclamation. Seal poach-
erS of all nations have been duly warned
agains: trespass in the American part of
that sea. Whether the United States should
enforce the Presidents proclamation with
armed vessels or with an agreement with
the Government of which most of the
pOachers are subjects does not seem mate
rial 1t does not seem fair to require the
United States TO compensate British sub
jects for losses incurred in preparations to
disregard law of Congress made public to
the world through the Presidents procla-
nation.

THE LADY MANAGERS.

For some DAYS but little has been heard
concerning the struggle for supremacy be-
tween Mrs. Potter Palmer and Miss Phoebe
CouziuS. At last accounts Miss COuzins
was in Washington, in person or by coun-
sci, endeavoring to get her salary as Secre-
tary of the Board of Lady Managers. 1t
was held that if the salary was paid Miss
Couzins would thereby be recognized as
Secretary. but if the salary was withheld
the Office would be considered at the dispo-
sal of the board. 1t is now said that a
number of professional and business women
in Chicago have entered the contest 10 Miss
Couzins' behalf These women say that it
is not Miss COuZns who is at stake, but
the Board Of Lady Managers themselves.
The intimatiOn is that a few men who de-
sired to prevent the Lady Managers from
taking an important part in the Worlds
Fair enterprise created the breach between
the President of the board and the Secre-
tary. 1t is a little unfortunate that the first
ATTEMPT of women to conduct Independently
an important part in a public enterprise
should be brought under the fire Of hostile
criticism through the inability of women 10
settle their differen ces among themselves
1t is no more surprising that women should
differ than men But the spectacle of 4
clique Of men seeking to override tile rights
Of other men is so common that no one

not yet obtained is the right to quarrel

THE IMPORTED COMMISSION.

The facts stated Dy The CALL in regard
to the motive which induced Commissioner
de Young to abandon General Chapman and
take up Maxwell have thrown the Commits
si0neI INTO temper. Since no other an
sWer occurs TO him he asserts that The
CALL had not received the information it
claimed to have received. On the strength
Of this assertion De Young's paper assures
it readers that TIE CALL stated what it
knew to be false. THE CALL stated on
reliable information that there were thirty
one salaried places in the Horticultural
Department at the disposal of the Chief
Commissioner. De Young replies that
these places are not aJ the disposal of the
Chief. All the appointments, he says, are
in the hands Of the Director General So
are all Federal appointments in the hands
of the President, but the Senators Of each
State practically IN Ike the appointments.
The President holds tile right to reject a
recommendation, but he usually selects
from the number recommended. The
Director-General of the Worlds Fair may
have the absolute power of appointment,
but he viii certainly look to the Chiefs of
departments Tor advice and Information.
The Chief WILL in fact, occupy in respect
to the patronage of his Office the position
Senator Stanford occupies in respect to
Federal patronage in California. De Young
says that be never mentioned to General
Chapman the subject of patronage. This is
unmportant The Commissioner could easily
ascertain General Chipman's views on the
subject without personal interview. THE
CALL rope ats its former assertion that NJ.
ii. de Young transferred his support from
General Chapman to Maxwell in conse-
quenee of General Chipman's refusal to
hand over the patronage of the office.
The only paragraph in De Young's reply
which is worthy of reproduction is the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. de Young, as the Chronicle has explained
more than once, had recommended General
Chapman, but nothing else; and when he found
that Commissioner Forsythe had urged Mr. Max
well and that General Chipman's name could not
be considered. lie assisted TO secure the appoint
ment for Mr.. Maxwell lest 1t should 60 to some
one outside the State, aud that Is the whole
story.
This is not the whole story De Young
has not let the public know why General
Chapman could not be considered. THE
CALL has supplied the missing informa-
ton. When De Young was asked by Mr..
Hatch If lie could not have secured the aD-
pOintment of General Chapman as easily as
he could that of Maxwell he replied: Eyes,

adjourn without an appropriation. The
Worlds Fair has now become national
enterprise, in which failure, or comparative
fai lure, would be a national reproach.
There has been a good deal of self-seeking,
but as the work advances the self-seekers
will be found out and relegated to Obscurity.
The fair will not be allowed to fail. 1t has
been heralded to the world IS an example of
what Americans can do in the way of show
ing off a combination of industries in which
we have the world as competitors. We
cannot afford to stand on the level with the
best exhibitions yet made The French ex-
eel all other nations in exhibitions of this
nature, but we must eclipse the Paris Ex-
position or admit that we cannot. Officials
who cannot subordinate personal ambitions
to the general good will be weeded out as
preparations progress. Nothing that has
yet happened justiies any State in with
holding its support from the enterprise.

The State horticultural Society is COM
posed wholly of men who know much about
horticulture. They are not merely theoret-
ical in their knowledge, but emnently prac-
teal. Every member has to do practically
with fruit-growing and shipping more or
less extensively. The body is thoroughly
representative and the acreage, fruit-ship-
ing interests and capital for which the men,
bership stands, if stated In figures, would
be found TO be aStonishiDgly large.
At its recent monthly meeting this associa-
ton, in which personal ambitions and politi-
cal compilations cut no figure. was called
upon TO voice the wishes and Judgment of
the fruit-growerS of California as to who
should be recommended for the ehiefship
of the Horticultural Department of the
Worlds Columbian Fair To be held at
Chicago in 1898. The association did not
hesitate -Four names were before the body
for Endorsement. 1t being shown that Gen
eral Chapman and Mr. Kimball would not
contest for the place and had withdrawn
their names from consideration, the society
proceeded to vote unanimously for j. de
Barth ShOr5 of Los Angeles for the position
of trust named
II is significant that Maxwell, the personal
candidate, who has striven for the place in
and out of season, did not receive vote
The truth is, he is SO unSuited for the posi-
ton, and his selection would be such a
trayesty upon good judgment, that the Hor-
ticultural Society did not propose to make an
exhibition of itself by even considering
Maxwell a candidate.
The vote can be looked upon in no other
light than that OF q rebuke. 1t is rebuke
to impertnence which pushes in where it
has no warrant to tread. 1t is a rebuke
that should result in the withdrawal of
MaXWelPS name, but since he has the assur-
ance to aspire TO direct department
for which he is not fitted by ex-
perience, natural ability or study, it is not
to he expected that modesty will all at once
possess him. The action of the HOrticul-
tural Association should have, and it may
be reasonably expected will have, direct
aud potential influence upon the authority
that is to confirm whoever is finally chosen
TO the headShip Of the department.
BY natural right the place belongs to CAL
iforna; by all the equities it should be
awarded to this, the chief fruii-produeiag
State of the Union; by every Government
OF justice the Office should be placed. with
all its high responsibilities. upon the man
whom the hOrticulturists of the State have
in their respective associations unanimously
Endorsed.

REWARDS OF VIRTUE.

The Court Of Appeals of the State of
New \ ork recently rendered a decision in
case where a man had agreed to give his
nephew, then a boy OF 10 years of age, $4,000
If he would abstain from liquor or tobacco
till he was 81 The nephew did so, but the
uncle declined to pay over the money.
When the latter died, twelve years after
ward, the nephew sued the executors, but
was nonsuited on the ground that there
was no consideration for the contract. The
Court Of Appeals has now reversed this
decision. on the ground that whether or no
tile uncle benefited by his nephew abstain
ing from stimulants, the latter at his uncle's
request pTaciiced a self-denial for which he
is entitled to remuneration.
Donations and requests conditioned upon
the performance Of certain acts by the bene-
fciaries are generally closely serutinized by
the courts. A bequeSt of a sum of money
or an estate TO a woman on the condition
that she shall marry certain man is valid !;
but similar bequest On the condition that
she shall not marry at all is not, because
marriage is the natural duty OF woman, and
an attempt to prevent it is contra bonos

diti6ned upon his leading an honest life can

HELD FOR MURDER.
DR.. Hall Seeking a Reduction of
the $4,000 Bail.

Police Judge Morley rendered an elabOr-
ate decision yesterday, holding Dr. Samuel
II. Hall for trial in the Superior Court on
charge of murder. Hall is accused of hav-
ing performed a criminal operation upon
Ida ShaddOck of Sites, Colusa County,
which is said to have resulted in her death
soon after leaving the train at Benicia, on
March 3lst Pending his examination the
defendant was admitted 10 bail IN the sum
of $4,000.
In his decision Judge Worley reviewed
the testimony introduced. He said that il
was shown that Ida Shaddock came to this
city on March Sth. She remained at the
Russ House until the Dist, when she went
to Dr.. Halls home. John McCarylle, the
locomotive fireman, to whom she was en-
gagged in marriage, came here and traced
her movements TO DR.. Halls house. The
most damaging evidence against the de-
PENDANT IS the fact that on the day prior to
entering his house she was in good health
and that according to his story she was de-
llvered OF a stubborn child on the following
day.
When first arrested Dr. Hall said that she
had only been III his huuse one night and a
day. Subsequently, however, he admitted
that she bad remained a his house until
March 31st, when he placed her on the train
at the Oakland mole. His story that he had
gwen Aub I6uldLHS VI Ltc bdUb 10 Il SLIduPbI
10 bury was also considered dam aging.
Afterward Hall was unable to produce the
stranger. The testimony of the four ply
slcianS who made the autopsy showed that
death had resulted from malpractice.
Under these circumstances Judge Morley
decided that DIR. Hall should be hsld for
trial on the charge of murder, and ordered
that he give new bonds in the sum of $4,000,
which he was unable to furnish. DIR. Hall
was at once transferred from the custody Of
the Chief OF Police to that OF the Sheriff and
taken TO the County Jail His attorneys hast
lily departed and, with his wife and daughter,
repaired to the Supreme Court, where they
applied for writ OF habeaS corpus on the
grounds that the evidence was insufficient
to hold him and the bail required excessive
Chief Justice Beatty heard Attorney Ma
CURES application, and the writ was issued
TO the Chief of Police, who replied that he
did not have the prisoner in custody. Ex-
Judge Mcguire proposed a reduction of the
bail 10 $4,000, put Assistant District At
torney Love, who represented the people,
declined to accept the proposition without
the concurrence of his chief, and the Chief
Justice held that, under the circumstances,
he could not make an order.
DR.. Halls attorneys then obtained writ
OF habeas corpus directed to the Sheriff
Upon The hearing on the second writ Chief
Justice Beatty admitted the petitioner to
bail in the sum of So, 900. Hail was re-
manded into the custody of the Sheriff until
he furnish bonds, which he will probably do

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Sir James Kitson, the President OF the British
Iron and Steel Institute. VINO saw so much TO ad-
miTe While on visit 10 Tits country last fall, has
presented IN The COHtemp ordTV ReUieH the result
OF his observations on The Industrial aud com
mercial conditions Of The United States. He was
most fOicibiy struck by 'the superior praduc-
UyenesS OF American labor aud lie exceptional
strength Of American Industries Tor entering into
competition with foreign rivals" He noticed
that "ibe American skilled artisan puis forth
more physical effort and produces more work in
a given lime than the English workman or the
workman ofany other foie Ign community engaged
IN the same industries aud measured by The same
length of Ilme.' He also discovered that The
employers and managers Of our great Industrial
establishments were more enc; gelIc aud pushing
than those Of the same class abroad. American
artisans, who enjoy such remarkable advantages

ever, agree with his conclusion that We cannot
get the greatest prof out of our opportunities
until America foregoes her system Of protee-
top.'
