TWISTING TnE LIONS TAIL.

President Harrison isSSholding a stiff
rein in his correspondence with Lord
Salisbury in the Boring sea controversy.
Salisbury declines to renew the modu s
vivendi; by which poachers were pre-
vented from taking seals in tho open
sea. The effect of this refusal, were
the United States to acquiesce. would
be the practical destruction of the fur
seal in single season, the ruin OF an
important industry and the extermina-
ton Of the natives who exist by the seal
fisheries.
To Salisburys refusal President Har.
rison makes firm response. If the
British government intends to permit
poachers to sail from British ports the
United States navy will be used to pre-
vent their taking seal in Boring sea.

MR.. PECHIN WIrRDRAWS.

Messrs jos. T. Engleby, Thomas Lewis,
j. S. Simmons and others:
GENTLEMEN: Some weeks ago YOU,
together with a number of citizens of
Roanoke, were kind enough to ask the
use of my name in the approaching
election for the Office of mayor That
l accepted the nomination with very
great reluctance is we'll known to some
Of you at least.
l accepted on purely business grou nds
as citizens candidate, as it looked at
the time as if party lines would not be
drawn. 1t has since developed that
party primaries are to be held, nomina-
lions Hereunder made, aud votes de-
manded on past political predictions.
l have no sympathy with such course
in municipal elections and so quietly
step down and out.
beg to make this emphatic state
ment That in municipal affairs there
can be no moro vicious practice than thu
drawing of strict party lines; harmless,
possibly, at the outset it inevitably
leads to the ultimate domination OF
ward heelers," ''jobbers," and ring
sters." the wasting of the public money
bad public work, lowering of the public
tone, and very frequently 70 the direct
and indirect violation OF tho laws
1t is better to shut the stable door be
fore the horse is gone.
Respectfully yours,
EDMUND c. PEcHIN.
