FINANCE AND COMMERCE.

New YORK, Dec. 2O.-There was n
complete change in the financial as we'll

were made in certain quarters to pro-
long the stringencY of the money mar

high rates of interest induced the
bankers to make some large sterling
loans, thereby depressing the sterling
exchange and putting q stop to the ap.

scription, by bordering territory, or for
any other reason, have the British any
greater right to take seals in Behring Sea
than have the natives Of Pennsylvania or
the subjects of Malietoa. Ex-Minister
Phelps has put the whole matter into
nutshell of common sense by saying, in
effect: "The seals are ours, bred upon
our territory and migrate from one of our
shores to another, and no nation has a
right to interrupt their passage and rob
US Of them"
The worst feature of the present
Behring Sea difficulty is that which has
just developed, that while the United
States has in good faith been waiting
upon the dilatory pleasure of Lord Sails
bury, Canadian sealers have been priskly
at work taking seals, our own people in
the meantime being forbidden TO do so.
The schooners of the Canadians will in
this way, before our revenue cutters can
reach the sea, take between $4,000 and
$4,000 skins. OF course it would be in
capable of proof that the English Gov
ernment has been party to this trick /;
we cannot conceive of great nation de-
scending to scurvy practice such as
suspicion suggests in this case. Never
Iheless, whether Intentional or not, the

THE SEAL FIELD TRoUBLEs.

The story comes from Washington that
Lord Salisbury has come down." that
he has yielded before the firm stand of
the United States, and consents that
pending the arbitration seal poaching in
the Behring Sea fields shall cease. For
this condescension the entire American
nation will be expected by the English
TO get down upon its marrow bones. The
truth is that we have been Inundated
and shamed in this whole matter by ever
yielding so much as to put our rights in
peril by recognizing the English claim.
Great Britain has no more right to seize
our seals in nnid-sea as they pass from
one to another of our islands than has
any one petty State of Europe, the Shah
OF Persia, the Sultan of Zanzibar or

FOR THE DIVES.
lng.

The newly elected City Trustee, Mr..
Green, signed petition to his own board
to grant Lucey, who was recently con-
victed of violating the license law, Ii
cense to open the notorious and infamous
L-street hole known as the Rosebud, as
liquor saloon. Mr.. Green advocated the
granting of the license on the ground that
Lucey is "a poor man and cripple,
couldn't do anything else, and ought to
be allowed to make an honest living by
keeping the Rosebud dive in helltown.
This is probably the strangest argument
that has ever fallen from the lips of an
officer holding Trusteeship for the peo-
pie. If the doctrine the new Trustee ad-
vances should unhappily be adopted as
the rule, there would be no possibility of
restricting the dive nuisance. 1t is no
defense to say as the Trustee did, that "if
the place becomes disorderly it can be
closed up." That is not the question.
The place always was dive and always
will be until closed up wholly and be-
yond recall. 1t can draw no patronage
excepting from the dive-supporting class.
Be it ever so orderly it will by location
and reputation be still dive, dangerous
to the community and constant source
Of trouble to the police. Mr.. Green we
deemed untitled by his life's vocation for
the office he fills. and hence we opposed
him, while constantly admitting the up
rightness of his character. If he wishes
to be judged by his first act when faced
with the dive question, the people will be
driven to modify this estimate and to his
discredit. 1t is very disheartening when
reform is just fairly in the saddle regard
ing dives, to have the newest official poise
his lance against decency. Trustee Conk-
lin is to be commended for standing by
the Mayors report against the Rosebud,
and voting with him to reject the appli-
cation for license.

John Leonard Found Dying in Barn

Early yesterday morning some parties
found man who was nearly dead in a
barn near the Riverside road. Word was
sent to the city, and thence to the County
Hospital. DR.. White sent the ambulance
to tn place indicated, and the sufferer
was tken to the hospital in dying con-
ditiol. He lived but a short time. 1t
was earned, however, that his name was
John Leonard, that he was a native of
Loul lana, and his age 36 years.
DIR White made an autopsy and found
that .he stomach was greatly infiamed.
The deceased had been suffering from
rheumatism, and from this cause enlarge
ment of the heart had resulted. 1t is con-
sidered not improbable thai the condition
OF the stomach may have been due to the

The story runs that the incumbent of
the office of Chief of Police proposes to
hold over, and that the Chief elect will in
that case retire to his forge and await
another election. We are disinclined to
believe either side of the rumors, but
since it is current and in the public
mouth, it may be remarked, on the as
sumption of its truth, first, that there
is nothing for the incumbent officer to
turn over," his office having neither
seal nor record; second, that all the Chief
elect has to do is, ON the day by law
fixed, to assume the office and issue his
orders to the police force, and he will
find that they will be obeyed. He has
his certificate, he has taken the oath of
office; his opponent manfully declines to
engage in any contest. All Chief Rodgers
has to do, therefore, is to 60 on and act as
Chief at the appointed time, and if the
incumbent chooses to declare that he
holds the office, and to issue orders and
wear his star, let him wear himself out
in those tasks, until he resorts to law to
have Mr.. Rodgers adjudged an intruder, la
proceeding that we have no idea any one
will invoke. 1t would be folly and un-
becoming in one the people have elected
to wayer and retreat from the officerightly
his, and to take which he is pledged by
the candidacy he assumed before the peo-
pie. For these reasons we decline to be-
lieve that Mr.. Rodgers willlfalter, and
equally we are unwilling to believe that
Mr.. Drew will do as rumor has it that he
intends to.

with windmills, which pleasingly diver

constant a power as the trade wind,
most of the work of this favored land
can be performed almost free of cost. If
you need water you have only to sink a
well and erect a windmill over it, which
will keep your reservoirs full. The
coral rock is so porous that there is no
such thing as a river in the whole

the soil to form underground streams,
which discharge their copious floods be-
