THE BEURING SEA BARGAIN

If any arrangement for compenSalng the
losses inflicted on both sides by the Bchrng
Sea modus vivendi can be considered equi-
table. certainly it is the one which has been
agreed upon. In its terms this arrangement
embodies if not further concessions from Great
Britain, at least evidences Of failcr and more
conciliatory spirit than Lord Salisbury has re-
Gently manifested. When, abandoning his po-
siton, so indiScrecty assumed and 50 stub
bornly held TO, that no mOdus whatever should
be entered into for this season, he asked simply
that a compensatory clause be added to the old
modus, the President was quick to indicate
a disposition to agree. There were objections
TO this course. 1t involved the dangerous
principle of consequential damages. 1t was
not an easy thing to ascertain how many seal
the pOachers might have taken had they been
subject to no Interruptions. The obvious mean
ing of Lord Salishury's suggestion was that, in
the event of the decision of the main question
in Englands favor, this entire possible catch
should be paid for. We did not believe that
the President would accept this proposition in
precisely this form, and it turns out that he
has done something very different. The qucs
ton OF damages has been made to turn on the
findings of the arbitratorS as to whether any
seal might safely be taken this year on sea or
land. They arc to say how many, if any, and
in case Great Britain's claim to the right of
pursuing the sealing industry in the open sea
is upheld, our Government is TO pay the Queens
Government that sum which, in the arbitrator
judgment, and under all the circumstances of
the case is fair compensation for the loss of
that number of seal which would have been
proper as well as a probable catch. On the
other hand, if our claims arc upheld Great
Britain is TO pay this sum to us.
1t will be seen that the risks of consequential
damages are by this arrangement reduced to
minimum, and in view OF the situation into
which Lord Salisbury's unfair and uncandid
tactics had brought the controversy, we may
congratulate ourselves on having made so good
a final bargain. The modus having been rati-
fed, our part of the engagement is complete
Americans are heartily tired of this dispute, and
ask OF the Government now only that the terms
of the modus shall be rgnly enforced, and
that the presentation of the case to the arbi-
traitors shall 60 forward with all the dispatch
that is consistent with safety. False and ma
licious things have been said persstenty and
in deliberately offensive terms, concerning our
people and our Government, by the English
press throughout this discussion; aud for the

THE HTCKLEBERRY ELL 4 Law

The citizens of New-York cannot fail to
realize that in Governor Roswell Z. Flower
they have an enemy of their common interests.
The metropolis has done much for the Gov
ernor but if it had been the breaking instead
of the making of his prosperity he could hardly
treat it worse than he has been treating it since
he was placed in the Executive Chair. The
Speedway bill provided for the degradation and
spoliaton of our noble Central Park the chief
source of recreation and refrcshmcnt for the
masses Of NEWCOMERS. He ought to have
killed it aS soon as il came into his hands. But
he signed it without anording those opposed TO
it the common courtesy Of hearing. The act
revealed the quality of the man.
Yesterday, in obedience to the gang he com
mittcd another gross outrage upon New ork
by signing the lIucklebcrry bill so-callcd. OF
all the jobs which have been put through at
Albany this session this one is perhaps the most
subversive of the welfare of the future of our
city. 1t looks to the enrichment of ring of
poiticians-with the notorious ed" Murphy,
chairman of the Democratic Committee, at its
head-at the expense of the many. 1t binds
the Annexed District hand and foot and de-
livers it over to this utterly selfish and I'M
scrupulous monopoly, which is as full of greed
as it is destitute of public spirit Ii practically
gives away to these men a franchise of enor-
nous value. They are clothed with full au-
thority to put a network of street railroads over
the Annexed District, and for the privilege
which is worth millions they pay nothing to
speak OF, while the rights of the people of the
metropolis in the future Of the district are seri-

ously imperilled. This is the fragrant swlndie
to which the Governor yesterday affixed MS

blow at the city he placed memorandum
on the bill, in which he attempts to justify MS
action 1t deceives no one-least of all MIN

it would state that the Governor, having Deen

Republican conventions to choose delegates
at-arge to the Minneapolis Convention were
held yesterday in Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania. They were marked by harmonious
action and spirit that shows the party to be
in admirable condition. The platforms are
strong presentations of Republican doctrine
and give the heartiest approval to the Admin
tration of President Harrison and the work Of
Secretary Blaine 1t is noticeable that both
platforms emphasize the demand for free
ballot and fair count for every voter, as es-
sential to the maintenance of the Republic
The two platforms and the account of the con-
vention in Boston will be found on the eleventh
mage.

to their local admirers, and. it is to be hoped
will show their skill too. They appear to be in

began the other day. OF course it is hoped and
expected that they will carry of the honors this
afternoon. when good weather, or even moder.

The proposition TO move great trains
through the tunnel IS certainly bold

on such large scale, and | am not pre-

wonderful developments IN electrical
science, which are made almost daily,
show that what seems to be impossible
today is practicable tomorrow. At
any rate. as the Thompson Hous-
ton Company is 50 confident of sue
cess as to be willing to make the entire
outlay without any return in case the eN-
