NEW PHASE IN THE BERING SEA
DISPUTE.

British statesmen have forfeited the right
TO make any more jibes at Yankee tricks
in diplomacy. Last week the English Min
istry out-Yankeed Yankeedom by filing a
petition in our Supreme Court to have the
seizure Of seal poacher declared illegal and
null. This was pre-eminently smart"
thing, cute trick" and therefore unfair
dishonest and unworthy of diplomacy. The
Brtishers' idea was possible attempt TO
iorestall the State Department, which has so
signally worsted the English Premier in the
discussion, and array the Judicial Depart
ment of the Government against the Execu-
live. They wanted 10 force the Supreme
Court into expressing an opinion upon the
position assumed and maintained by the
State Department under this and the proceed
ing Administrations. Should this opinion be
opposed TO the State Department, England
would have gained a strong point Should
IL he favorable, England would not be bound
by il in the least. This is the dishonesty of
the move. There was a good deal of palayer
about the compliment paid to the Supreme
Court by asking it TO pass upon the ques-
tion," but this deceiycs no one Democrats
in both Houses of Congress have introduced
resolutions resenting in fitting language the
insult attempted TO our State Department
by this unprecedented act
Our Government stands rcady-as Secre-
tary Blaine has informed the British Gov
ernment-to submit all the essential points
in the dispute to arbitration by an impartial
tribunal, by whose decision that Govern
meut viii agree 10 abide This is fair and
honest, and no other course is.
What our Supreme Court will do in the
matter can only be conjectured. 1t is GER
tain, however, that it will do the right
thing, and maintain is own dignity and that
Of the Government The simplest course
would be TO take advantage of technicality
in opposing The trick Of the English. BY
some blnnder, no provision has been made
in the laws for an appeal from the District
Court Of Alaska 10 the Supreme Court. If
the latter chooses 70 stand on this techni-
caliiy il can dismiss the petition without
farther consideration.

RENEW IN TIME.

So much that is of Importance will APP
pear in every number of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE that subscribers should not run
the risk of missing single issue, and should
therefore be very careful TO renew in time
Let every reader examine the address slip

head Of the paper. He will then under
stand how near his subscription is to expir-
ing. For example, the number OF this paper
is 1873. II, therefore, his number is 494, he
will only receive one more paper; if 495,
two more papers, and so on. He ought to
be careful TO renew Mt least two weeks be-
fore the expiration of his subscription. SO as

TIE MARINE CORPS.

Shall the time-hOnOred and war-honored
marine 60, and our naval vessels know him
no more, forever? That is the interesting
problem now being agitated in Navy circles.
On the face of il the opponents of the ma
rines make the best showing. They say in
effect that the marine is an insult to the
loyalty and discipline of the sailor, since his
presence on board is an imputation that the
sailors cannot be trusted to do giard duty, or
refrain from mutiny; that he stands all the
time between them and their officers, and
prevents that fraternity Of feeling that would
otherwise exist. Not only very large pro-
portion of the blue-jackets have expressed
themselves TO this effect, but many officers
have done the same thing They say that
now, vastly more than ever before the sailor
has become soldier, with soldierly feelings
as to strictness of discipline and a soldiers
expertness in the use of arms, aud they can
be trusted rs thoroughly in all things aboard
a ship MS a soldier can in camp. On the other
hand, many Naval officers, especially the
older ones, insist that a marine is now MS
indispensable as ever They point out that
many mutinies have been prevented by the
presence Of marines and their steadfast 10y
atty. The fact that our Navy is now manned
by every other nationality than Americans,
while the marines are recruited wholly from
native or naturalized Americans, is used as
convincing argument. Another strong
argument is that on modern men-Of- war the
tendency is TO specialization. There must
be some men who do nothing but attend to
the engines and the fires; others the electri-
cal machinery, torpedoes, etc. Consequently
there should be the sailors to take care Of
the ship, fight her, man boats, etc, with
marines to stand guard and act as sharp
shooters in battle. While we incline to the
sailors' view of the matter, yet we feel pretty
certain that the Marine Corps will be re-
tanned, and probably enlarged.

AN IxDEPENDExr PorENrArE.

Europe used to have good many little Prin-
eipalities and States which ranged in size all
the way from that of Kansas cOrnfeld to a
township. Once when Frederick the Great
was making a journey, he came upon man
who was King Of a realm Of two farms, who
embraced him aud called him brother" 1t
is suddenly discovered that we have something
Of this kind in America. Dick Bassett, who has
heretofore supposed himself to DO an American
citizen, has resided for the last IL years on an
island Of two acres extent in Traverse Bay.
northwestern Michigan. On applying to the
State Of Michigan for protection against ma
RAIDERS, and to the United States to purchase
the land, which be has raised to high state of
cultivation, he is informed. TO his surprise, that
neither Government claims his territory, and
that therefore be is an independent ruler. We
trust that he will not take advantage Of his
position, and levy toll upon the important
commerce Of Traverse Bay, as men in such
position have done in the Middle Ages seere-
tary Blaine ought to take steps at once TO
annex him, or at least conclude treaty of
amity and commerce with him, which would
prevent his siding with Canada in the event of
trouble over the seal fisheries.

THE Maryland tobacco men have been
holding a convention for the purpose of dis
eussing methods for improving the quality
of the leaf produced in the State. 1t would
seem high time that something was done in
this direction, since the statistics show that
the average value of an acre of Maryland
tobacco is but S4782 to S16733 for the same
in Pennsylvania and S222.7O in Connecticut.
Maryland tobacco only averages 81 per 100
pounds, where Pennsylvania tobacco brings

The Indian war has virtually closed. Will
il be the last one we shall have? 1t GER
tainly should be, but we have Rugged that
delusion after every one of the outbreaks
that we have had. Ninety-seyen years ago
after Mad Anthony Wayne had crushed the
great alliance Of Northwestern Indians in
the decisive battle Oh Fallen Timbers, on
the Maumee, we supposed we had settled
the Indian question permanently. Yet it
was only 10 years later that Cen Harrison
fought the sayages at Tippecanoe, and for
the next seven years we fought Indians in
Ohio, Michigan, Canada, Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida Then came five years Of peace,
TO be broken by the fight at Arickaree
Towns, in August 1923 Nine years later
we had the Black Hawk war, and two years
after that began the great Seminole war.
which lasted seven years, and cost the Gov
eminent 100000 and ,4G6 lives. Since
then we have had periodic wars, rs every
new generation Of bucks has grown up. and
the memory Of previous furnishings has
grown dim. We have still more than 200 600
wholly wild Indians, and we may expect
trouble with them until they are extermi-
mated or partially civilized.

MORE THAN a QUARTER OF BILLION
To MoNEY-LENDERS

Since the Both Of June, 1889, and up 10 the
LIST Of November Last year, period Of just
lG months, there was actually paid to the
bondholders Of the country, in gold coin,
out Of the Treasury vaults, the following
enormous sums:
For the fiscal year Of or 70
For the four months Of The fiscal year
OF 1871 -'' lli,i7sGH -
-. SO 81 CT
This is almost one-fourih as much as the
veterans of the country have received in the
whole 20 years since the country has begun
paying pensions ON account of the war Of
the rebellion,
These figures are direct from the Treasury
Department, and can be relied upon The
discrepancy between those given for the year
1890 aud those Which appear elsewhere is on
account OF interest due and awaiting pay
meDt TO the bondholders.
As the bondholders actually lent the Gov
eminent s., Isl ,53O,294 in deprecated paper
money, the average value of which during
the war was about 81 cents, the gold value Of
their lend ngs was only 81 sos G27 ,29G, it will
be seen that in the lG months specified the
bondholdcrs have been paid about one-sixth
of The entire amount Of their lendings, with
out taking into account the billions they
bad previously received and the hundreds
Of millions which will still have 10 be paid
them.
