4 "CLOSEDD SEASON INDEED.

The results of the modus vivendi concluded
ON June 10 between our Government and that
of Great Britain for the regulation of affairs
in Behrng sea are now fully disclosed. They
are anything but satisfactory. In fact Eng
lands deliberate postponement OF tho moduS
negotiation until the Canadian sealing feet,
nearly twice as large as ever before, had got
away has rendered the agreement, as we pre-
dicted, p sitive injury to our interests. Had
Lord Salisbury agreed in March, when he was
first approached, to the terms he conceded IN
the mi1dle of June the poacherS might have
been detained at home The closed season
might have been really closed, and neither
party to the controversy in any way prejudiced.
The object of the modus which was to avoid
irritating differences and to promote the friend
y settlement Of the main question would in
that event have been secured But, as the
matter went, it has resulted simply in an out
rlgcOuS fraud on the Americans.
Forty-nin vessels, just twenty more than
cleared fom the custom house at Victoria in
1890, engaged in the seal-hunt this year. Ac-
cording to an official return Of thirty five OF
them, they had taken before the date Of the
modus agreement II 1858 seals. AS nearly as
the total catch can now be estimated from Off
cial but slightly incomplete returns, it amounted
to 2O,619 skins, all of them taken before Lord
salisbury had been induced to agree to a
" closed season. Not less than $4,000 were
llcitly taken after the agreement was signed
and proclaimed making the seasons catch fer
the Canadian marauders in excess of 43,619.
Their catch in 1890, as officially reported, was
4475l so that the net result to the Canadians
of all this agreeing, proclamng, warning and
naval hippodroming is that they have stolen as
many Of our seals as ever, while they have
contracted the market supply and therefore vast
y increased the value of their plumber, by lin
ting our catch to $685.. The half dozen
American officers sent in various capacities to
the sealing waters agree in reporting to the
Government that the Canadians kill at least
seven seals for every one they secure. So that
in this closed'' season they have diminished
the herd maintained at our expense and on our
islands by 1t least 313, 257 seals, tens of thou
sands of whom were females laden with young
According - Mr.. Elliotts report for 1890 there
were not more than $50, 900 seals in the entire
herd. How many more closed" seasons will
be required to put an end to it is matter easily
calculated.

II il announced on high authority that Mr.
Clevelands arguments in behalf Of the Demo-
cratic State ticket constitute the sort of advice
which the titular head of great party is COM
PEELED to give. Without entering upon dis
cussion of the general proposition here advanced
we NAV venture to say that Mr.. Cleveland's chief
claim TO distinction has always been alleged TO
be that he was lot that kind of titular head.
1t has uniformly been maintained by those who
assume that they comprehend him best and boast
that they love him most that he was superior
20 his marty. We have been led to suppose by
him and others that he was consecrated to higher
uses. The large and beautiful nimbus above his
head has been interpreted to mean that he was
not to be measured by ordinary standards. a
course Of action, for example, which might be
perfectly natural and proper for a mere mortal
like Abraham Lincoln would be unbecoming, nay
inconceivabe, on the part of Grover Cleveland.
But now we are told, not in tremulous tones,
but in a casual, onhand way, that Mr.. Cleve-
land belongs to the old familiar school of ttular
heads, Rho are expected to give welcome and in
spritng advice on demand Of the party. IL APP
pears to us that Mr. Clevelands attitude at this
juncture is alarming. The Snowman in "Old
Curiosity Shop" set forth an immortal truth when
he said that aged and infirm dwarfs are beyond
suspicion, but that when giant gets shaky on
his legs he ought to he kept in strict retirement

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

The prospect Of electing the Republican State
ticket here in Newly rk is most encouraging.
So say our party friends from Buffalo to Long
Island, and so, too, say candid Democrats. MI.
Fassett is steadily gaining ground. He has
grown in strength and popularity ever since he
was nominated. The better the masses become
acquainted with him the better they like him.
They find that he is a statesman of broad and
patriotic views, and that his knowledge of Ma
tjonal and State affairs is thorough They dis
cover, too as they study his record that his
course as Senator has been that of good and
faithful servant, bent upon promoting the pros
pelity of the State. That he has been greatly
heped by his speeches must be evident to all
who have read them. Mr.. Fassett is a natural
orator, and never fails to interest and hold his
audience. lie has presented the reasons for the
Republican faith which is in him with great
skill and has been equally effective in his in
dictment of the Democracy. His party well
may be proud of it's resolute and resOurceful
young stlndard-bearer
Mr.. Flower has made no such an impression.
4 man without experience in State affairs,
whose Congressional career, as was shown in
these columns yesterday, went far to demon
Strate that he has no aptitude for public life, his
only service TO the ticket which he heads is
that of paymaster. Tammany nominated him
for revenue only. Her bosses, who ran the
Saratoga Convention, were not troubled by his
conspicuous want of fitness for the great office
for which he was named, seeing that he had
great riches. Some of the leading Democratic
journals which aIe now most active in his sup
port are confronted with the embarrassing fact
that only few years earlier they were de-
nouncing him as prepoSerous politician, who
expected to win his way to Office by the profusc
expenditure of money. In view of these things
and of the discleditable record Of the party
which is behind him, it is not strange that Mr.
Flowers candidacy has not flourShed. The
nominee is handicapped by the organization
which is backing him, while the organization
in turn is handicapped by the nominee.
In the circumstances, it is only natural that
the Republicans should feel inspired to do their
best, and should enter upon the homeStfetch
expecting to win signal victory. They have
made a magnificent canvass thus far and it is
only necessary that they should persevere until
the polls close on Election Day without any
relaxation Of their exertions to place New-York
where it belongs-in the Republican column.

Democracy had not spirit enough or courage
enough to squirm.
Ten years ago Mr.. Hewitt said such an Or
ganization as Tammany Hall "was offensive to
the self-respect of Intelligent Democrats. IL
was more than offensive; it was living lie
TO which no answer could be made when pressed
home by our opponents" Is it any less OF

Democrats of the County Democracy now that

en now that it has spurned merit and nom
mated a "bar'p; now that it is trying to get
control of the State by senseless howl over
a ridiculous issue that has been settled beyond
possibility of reversal?
One thing is certain; if by the aid OF the
County Democracy Tammany succeeds in carry
ing the State, it makes an end OF one trans
parent humbug. 1t puts Tammany so abso-
Iutely in power that the mission of the County
Democracy even for Matchmaking purposes will
be ended.

the first steps were taken to organize the County

they sincere? They organized rival faction
