would speedily discover If they attempted
to take fur SEALS The Presidents procla-
nation, issued by command of congress,
warns al persons whomsoever to desist
from taking seals unIawfuIly, that is to
say, in contravention of the laws of the
United States, which not only asserts jur-
isdiction in the sea, but has thus far main
tanned it,
The Sacramento paper falls into the
common error of assuming that the law of
congress or the Presidents proclamation
assert jurisdiction for this country over
the whole sea or within any prescribed lin
its. The proclamations have exactly con-
formed with the language of the statute,
and that studiously avoids prescription
of limits. And that this was of deliberate
intent was made manifest by the fact that
after the House of Representatives of the
Fiftieth congress had amended the stat
ute so as to define the limits, the Senate
committee reported against the amend
ment and it was stricken out.
So that the law and the proclamation
are simply prohibitive "within the juris-
diction of the United States" and all that
the two governments have united for is to
prevent the killing of fur seals, by all per-
sons within that jurisdiction Surely it
will not be claimed that the mere acquies-
cense of England can extend our jurisdic-
ton so as to make that which was an open
sea-that is, open to all the world-a
closed sea.
The present arrangement is simply one
of hands off" pending arbitration to set
tie the whole question between the two
parties who on larger scale than any
others were making away with seal life in
that region. 1t is incredible that until the
vexed question has been settled, either
England or the United States would chal-
lenge q war with Russia, France or Ger
many by attempting to maintain against
them the mare clauscm doctrine as to Ber-
ing sea.
1t is highly mprobable-scarcely posi-
BILE, in fact-that either of those countries
will for the sake of q few seal skins inter-
rupt the entente cordiaIe, or interfere with
the attempt o. the two governments to Sc
cure a close season for seal life in all of
those waters, but it will not do to assume
that the agreement between the United
States and Great Britain is conclusive or
compulsory against the other great powers
1t is of vital interest to this northwest
ern country that the whole question be
settled as speedily as possible, without re-
sort to war; and that there shall be an end
to these attempts to claim for our govern
ment jurisdictional rights which its high
est representatives have not only re-
Trained from asserting, but have specifi-
cally disclaimed, which Secretary Blaine
has done, as to the mare clausem notion. in
his correspondence with Pauncefote and
Salisbury. In the face of that disclaimer
no agreement between two countries can
work an exclusion of others from an exer-
else of their rights in an open sea. The
reverse rule would apply equally to the
Pacific, the Atlantic and all other great
oceans.

ground in November. 1892, they will hear
. reyerberating answer TO this question.

The San Francisco Bulletin, which Is adj
dicted to contraries, and is therefore OPP
posed TO silver because all of its local con-
temporaries are the other way, declares
that "all the natural laws say that free
coinage of silver viii lower its price" This
would indicate that the Bulletin has a pre-
jndice against "all the natural laws" and
is trying to SANDER them. For it is mani
fest that the natural laws are guilty of an
absurdity if they say that the price of any
thing can be lowered by creating demand
for all there is of it. According to the Bsl-
letin's theory gold should now be one of
the cheapest of commodities. for in this
and all other civilized countries free COIN
age of gold has been the rule time imme-
mortal. But '.all the natural laws" are
mistaken if they say or think that gold has
been cheapened by this process.

Okanogan Crickets stripping Vegetation.

The crickets have made their appearance In
Okanogan and Douglas counties in great num-
bers. They visited these sections last year, but
they were not anything like so numerous as at
present. They made their appearance near the
headwaters of the 0kanogan, and stripped the
country all the way down, even carrying their
depredations into the Wenatchie country. J. II.
Thompson tells how they visited his place. The
night before his ranch was ravished there wasn't
a cricket to be seen, but when he got up In the
morning there were myriads of them, and they
swept over sixty acres of grain, leaving total
devastation in their wake

The Tacoma Sunday Law.

81. raul UtOpe.
Tacoma and Seattle are thrifty rival towns but
few miles apart on the beautiful Sound Their
rivalry of late, however, has soeiable passages.
Tacoma has adopted Sunday law that will not
allow cigar, paper OF peanuts or glass of soda
water to be sold, not TO speak of strong bever-
ages. A large part of the Tacoma people have
become SO addicted to peanuts and soda water
that, in the home dearth, they crowd the special
trains and boats on Sunday and are brought
home from Seattle at night overcome with the
exhiiaration. The Tacoma regime must be
novel one for the Pacific region.
