with a good Watch.
In few weeks more, the last

The total membership, in all nine

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The De-
partment of State has received
further advices from Victoria,
B. c., as to the success attending
the fleet of vessels now engaged in
hunting seals in the Pacific. The
steamer Mystery, which was en-
gagged to take off the skins secured
by the vessels now at sea, has re-
turned, and her total catch to date
received at Victoria is reported to
be 1880. This is regarded as a
light catch, and is attributed in
part to bad weather, but mainly to

The CatfIemen's War.

ceived a telegram from President
Harrison, saying that he had or
dered the Secretary of War to con-
centrate a sufficient number CT SOL

sure that one will be. The Age arraigns
prohibition as the chief cause of the
hypocrisy, lying and deceit that prevail
in the community, says it creates low,
dirty and mean drinking places, to which
weak willed men are decoyed and their
money rifed from them, and places the
sale of liquor in the hands of the worst
class, who are utterly INSCRIPTIONS to
whom they sell. All this is to be
changed by a license law, which is of
fered as great reformatory measure, in
which ardent friends of temperance like
the Age and, strange to add, the very
men who now sell rum and whom the
Age regards as very vile people. both
heartily concur. When the license mil
lennium comes there will be no more
hypocrisy and lying. Men will walk
right up to the bar then in the face and
eyes of the public and swallow their
whiskey, and people who go out of the
theatre between acts to get drink will
frankly confess their purpose and not
prevaricate. There will be no more lur-
ing of men into saloons, but the liquor
business being in the hands of good men,
men who have the welfare of the COM
munity at heart, the saloon keepers will
post at the door of their establishment
men to warn the public of the dangers
within. This, to be sure, is not exactly
the way license laws have worked in
other places, but that is probably be-
cause the good men have not come for
ward and taken charge of the saloons.
1t seems to us that the Democrats ought
to cover this point in their platform by
guaranteeing that in the event of the
repeal of the prohibitory law and the
substitution of license law, the saloons
shall be placed in the charge of good
men. Suppose the Age starts canvass
in its own city to discover how many
really good men in that town will agree
to take charge of one of the reformed sa-
looms and see that no liquor, is sold where
it will do harm. The people of this
State will not hesitate to substitute for
the prohibitory law some other measure.
provided they are convinced that some
other measure will be more effective
against intemperance. Mere shouting
against prohibition is not likely to pro-
duce that conviction however.

The Mckinley bill left a small duty on
refined sugar for the purpose of protect
ing home industry. 1t was perfectly
consistent thing to do for believer in a
tariff for protection. When the Demo
Gratis got control of the House of Repre-
sentatives they were appealed to to re-
move this duty on the ground that it's effect
was to create monopoly. The appeal
was placed upon the same ground as the
appeal to remove the duty on wool and
iron and it had more merit in it than the
appeal in the case of either of the latter.
A repeal of that duty was too directly
in line with their free trade views. But
the ways and means committee have con-
cluded not to take any action. The
reason for this inconsistency is not forth
coming, bnt there is strong ground for
the suspicion that the same causes which
operated on Mr.. Mills committee have
been potent with this one; and that it is
fear of the great Brooklyn refners that
has led Ethe committeelto dismiss the
matter without action. New York is
pivotal state this year and it won't do
to jeopardize votes there by living up to
free trade professions.

few congressman

Gen. Eppa Hunton, who has been ap-
pointed by the governor of Virginia,
senator from that state to succeed the
late Senator Barbour, has not been in
public life since 1878. In that year he
retired from Congress after serving on
the Hayes Tilden electoral commission,
and has since BEEN practicing law. He
is almost 70, was in command of regi-
ment and a brigade in the confederate
army during the war, and was confined
in Fort Warren some months after it's
close. His appointment is to fill the time
until the legislature can choose sue
cessor to Senator Barbour, whose term
would have expired in 1895. There will
be no session of the legislature, unless
an extra one'is called, until the new leg
islature, to be chosen next year meets in
December, 1893. The legislature will
elect senator to fill out the unexpired
term and also one for the term beginning
in 1895.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8.

MI. Sherman's speech on the silver
question was one of great ability, cover
ing the whole ground and pointing out
with great clearness the mischief which
the free coinage of silver will do. 1t
ought to have great weight in the Senate.
But unfortunately the opinion of the
silver Senators are held with such te-
nacity that nothing but the calamities
which would follow in the wake of free
silver will be likely to change them. Ar
gnment is wasted on them.

Horace Porter, the money needed to
build an appropriate monument to Gen.
Grant in New York has been obtained
and something more. But an amount of
begging has been required which reflects
anything but credit upon the metropolis
which promised when New York was
selected as the resting place of Gen.
Grant remains an unlimited amount of

back, making it necessary to almost
wrench the money out of its citizens.

There may be brighter men than Mr..

several lanterns to find them. ''What's
the meaning of paleontology?n asked
several Democrats of the ex-speaker dur
ing the heated debate on the appropria-

leontology," replied the childlike and
bland Reed, is the history of the Demo-

Col. Polk of the Farmers ALLIANCE ap-
pears to be full of enthusiasm still. Last
week he wrote to friend in Kansas that
the Alliance would carry seven Southern
states. Polk is more of rainbow-chaser
that the Hon. Calvin S. Brice. If his
Kansas friend invests any money on the
strength of the ColonePs predictions he
will be out the amount invested. Politi-
cally the Farmers Alliance is moribund.
1t can't carry single state North or
South. Possibly there may be enough
of it left in few.states to fuse with the
Democrats and in this way capture a
