If THE English parliament should pass
the bill to prohibit British subjects from
killing seals in Bering sea for such time
as may be designated by the queen,
there will be fair chance for the two
governments to come to an amicable
and permanent agreement upon the dis
turbing question. If the bill passes at
all, it will be passed very expeditiously.
In the meantime the seal season has
commenced and a number of sealing
craft have started from Victoria for
Bering sea. These will, whenever they
are found, be overhauled by our revenue
cutters, just dispatched to the sealing
waters. But as it is reported that over
one hundred poachers have been fitted
out, it is probable that great havoc will
be made amongst the seals before our
cutters will reach the fisheries. Ii,
however, the bill in parliament becomes
a law at once, the poachers will soon be
made short work of, for they will be
pursued and caught by the American
and British cruisers. The Canadians
will do all in their power to retard the
passage of the bill, but it is not believed
their efforts will be effective.

A BABY IN A BOX.
An Unknown Man Acts as An ANA
teur Undertaken.

An OnRuOWH Man ACtS as AN Anna
teur Undertaken.
Out on the north side of the city yes
terday some people saw an old man car
rying box under his arm across a field
He stopped at place that evidently
suited his purpose and with shovel,
which he carried, dug hole, put the
box in it and went away.
The people who had been watching
him thought that he probably had been
concealing stolen property and notified
the police who visited the place, dug up
the box and on opening it found inside
the body of male infant, which appar-
emily had been dead for twenty-four
hours.
The corpse was not carefully examined
pending the investigation by the coro-
ner, but NO marks of violence were visi-
BILE on it.
The occurrence may prove to be case
of infanticide, or it may be simply the
attempt of poor people to evade the ex-
penses of a funeral. The coroner will
investigate the matter today. No trace
of the mans identity had been found
last night.

THE most destructive fire Los Angeles
has experienced for over year was that
OF yesterday afternoon. The loss will
probably reach $4,000. But when we
consider the combustibility of the neigh
borhood, and the unusually high wind
that prevailed at the time, it is great
wonder that the fire was kept within
the limits of SO small a compass. Had
it crossed Seventh street, and reached
over into Broadway, as it threatened to
do at one time, there is no telling where
it would have stopped. 1t would,
perhaps, have cut a wide and ex-
tensive swath through thickly-settled
portion of the city, and the losses have
reached into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The fire department is en-
titled to credit for intelligent and
efficient work.

RAY OF LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT.

BY degrees we are getting light upon
the way in which the tremendous ex-
penditures piled up against the Chicago
orange carnival SO far surpassed the
amount of the receipts. A representa-
tive of the HERALD has dug up mass of
facts which show conclusiyely that the
affair from beginning to end was most
wretchedly managed as far as its busi-
ness was concerned, and that our people
allowed themselves to be wheedled and
overreached by the parties who had con-
troll of the exposition building. So
lacking were our representatives in
business sagacity that they allowed the
parties from whom they leased the
building to take entire charge
of the box office and to place men of
their own choosing at the door to receive
the tickets, SO that there was no check
whatever upon the receipts. 1t is true
that for a short time the Los Angeles
managers placed man at the door to
count the tickets received, but that was
soon discontinued. The tickets were not
numbered, and there was therefore no
means of telling how many were sold.
Money.,in large sums seems to have been
paid out without rhyme or reason, such
as SO per day to the man who lit the
gas, according to one account, and So
per day according to another. Our peo-
pie submitted to all sorts of charges and
impositions, and left their receipts at
the mercy of strangers. 1t is no
wonder that the persons who under
took the management of the Chicago
orange carnival are backward about Civ
ing the public an itemized report of
their financial stewardship. They evil
IDENTIFY permitted themselves to be cir
cumvented on all sides by the smart
Chicagoans, and are naturally loath to
let the public see how they have been
bamboozled. But the public are en-
titled to bill OF particulars in this
case, and unless they get it the man
ayers will be subject to more damag-
ing kind of criticism than they really
deserve
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-01

Well may the Republican leaders look
aghast. They have themselves struck
the scales from the eyes Of their hereto
fore blinded followers. Ready as they
are to claim every good thing in the
United States, from the growing grass
to the low price of steel rails, as re-
suit of their ridiculously partial and rob-
bing tariff, they know that their stale
and false cries have at last lost their
power of charming, and forever. The
people now do their own thinking, and
political spoon,pap and syllabub no
longer suffice for their intellectual needs.
The age of humbug and pretence, at
least in this line, is over and for aye.
