The Activity OF the Sealers.

While the Behring Sea arbitrators have
been hearing arguments at Paris this year,
Veasels from Victoria. San Francisco, and
other ports on the Pacific have been doing
their best to reduce tho value of tho matter
In controversy.
Such. too, has been their success that the
present season bids fair to break the record
In the catch Of seals outside OF Behring
Sea. Capt. HOOPER OF the revenue Gu tier
Rush found that up to June IA twenty-five
British sealers had taken 1926 skins, and
seven American sealers had taken 1884.
That was a total of 2O.6lO skins for only
thirty-two vessels. The reckoning was I'M
doubleday accurate. since It was obtained
while boarding the vessels and giving them
tho customary warning. Yet this count
cannot represent more than a half or a
third Of the vessels engaged in the traffic
this season. The date OF the report also
shows that there was still time left for
profitable sealing outside OF Behring Sea.

The Cherokee boomers have been cheerful
and hopeful, doomed to disappointment and
fired with Indignation. ready to fight and
anxious to avoid trouble. many time during
the two years in which negotiations for the
opening Of the Cherokee Outlet have been
carried on. Tens OF thousands OF them have
camped along the borders OF the Outlet, and
have come and gone. again and again: they
were sure OF getting in as early as the spring
OF last yenr. and all along through tho year;
they were sure again in the fore part OF the
spring Of this year. and have waited ever since.
often changing ranks as patience gave out
and time rolled past. They are now in a state
OF most anxious suspense as many as 10000
OF them. They have had news that the
6.0O0.GlO acres OF tho Outlet will be opened
In the first week OF August, or anyhow before
the end OF the second week. or thereabouts
Everything is ready: the Cherokees have got
their allotments and part Of their cash: the
surveys are completed: tho county lines are
established. the county seats located; only
the Presidents proclamation is needed to end
the long wait: the horses are shod: the wng.
ons are in shipshape: nearly every man has a
good claim in his minds eye upon which he
can squat quicker than any other man without
fooling: tho "sooners" have no right to the
land they mean to grab: it is for honest set
tiers to occupy.
We must hope truly that the weary bones
boomers will be permitted to GROSS the lines
this week. or the next. or the week after. or at
least before the end OF August For their sake,
however. we regret to get bad news from
Washington to the effect that Secretary HoKE
SMITH OF the Interior Department is In doubt
on the subject. 1t does not seem to be possible
for him to get everything all entirely ready for
the opening until the 18th Of September, or
perhaps even until the 1st OF October at the
latest. SO far as Is known at this time. 1t is
alleged by Secretary SMITH that the final ar
rangements are not perfected" that the allot-
ments to the Cherokees must be more closely
examined. and that the instructions to pros
pective settlers have not yet been subjected to
revision by the General Land ONCE.
This Is pretty rough once more. rather hard
on the boomers again. very dscreditable to
the Interior Department.
Cannot Secretary SMITH hurry up this bust
ness? Can't he put in some old-fasbioned
Georgia field work by hand on his own account
at night after all the regular eight-hour
clerks OF the General Land ONCE have gone
home to take a rest with their famlliesp
We almost wish he would do so before Con-
gress maets and his mind Ia crowded with
other things.
1t Is not fair to keep 10000 or 10000 Ameri-
can citizens waiting till they are all worn out.

For Mt least one thing. we give direct
praise to our young and opulent friend the
Nawnb. who has just left us. He was faithful
to his religion while among us. and he fulfilled
his religious obligations like true believer.
As soon rs no came here he purified his quar-
tiers. gave orders that the prayer mats for him
self ond suite should be put in place. and en-
gagged In his devotons. He prayed five times O
day with his face toward Mecca. though he
heard not the call OF the muezzin from the
minaret; he tasted In season. though he was in
foreign parts: his additions were mover neg

observance OF oil the prescribed customs. he
was exact while in New York. He touched not
wine or other inebriating liquor; he turned
away his eyes from feminine vanity. and even
rebuked an unworthy member OF his suite for
smiling at q pretty damsel: upon one occasion
he tasted OF food that had not been prepared
by his anointed cook. but only after the dish
had been approved by that cook. He refrained
from folly. He gave aims to those beggars
who are here denominated walters. BE played
not games Of chance, which are forbidden by
the Prophet. and played only games OF skill
which are permissible under Koranic law.
What an example he gave TO lots OF men and

Uncertain About a Certainty.

Some Of our Republican friends insist that
uncertainty in regard to what the Demo-
Gratis are going to do about the tariff is a
cause of depression in business; and that
such depression will continue until that
uncertainty is removed.
There is no reason for any such I'M
certainty. for the Democratic policy has
not been changed since it received the ap-
prevail of the country last fall.
II, however any Republicans really feel
the uncertainty which they profess, it might
be we'll for the Democrats in Congress to
reaffirm at an early date the constitutional
Democratic doctrine Of tariff for revenue
only. To the great majority Of Democrats
such o reiteration would DO superfluous.
What they expect from Congress is tariff
for revenue only. not q repetition OF the
Democratic declaration that such a tariff,
and no other. is constitutional. Yet. any
reasonable means Of saving the Republicans
from the tribulations OF uncertainty should
recommend themselves to the humane.

onslaught has been made upon the Priby-
| Low herd, even outside the disputed waters
| OF Behring Sea.
The indications now are that tho pro.
| hibitions OF the modus riuendi will be
observed this year more strictly than
ever before. There Is good reason to be-
love that the British sealers are under or
| ders from their owners not to enter the
| American side Of tho sea, and one proof OF
| this fact Is that no steamer was to go north
| from Victoria this summer to collect and
take back the cargoes. The custom Of pre-
vious years was to have such n steamer
meet the sealers at their rendezvous at Sand
Point, and take back to Victoria the skins
that had been captured during the spring
season. thus leaving the vessels free to go
on with their work. This year the British
vessels are to take back their catches, which
is an indication that the hunting season for
them ends with the passage OF the herd
north OF the Aeutian Islands toward their
home in the Pribylov group. Still another
indication is that the only two vessels thus
far reported as seized were American.
But while strict observance OF the mo
dus by the British sealers that comprise by
far the greatest part OF the heet.wi reduce
the number Of seals slaughtered. yet. as
has been seen. the catch outside OF Behring
Sea has been unusually large. To 1t must
be added the catch in Russian and Japanese
waters. to which the sealing schooners have
devoted much Of their attention this year
on account Of the existing prohibitions on
the eastern side OF Behring Sea. Command
er NICoI LUDLOW OF the Mohican, writ
ing on June AZ. said that he and his assist
ants had learned from traders that nearly
$4,000 skins had. previous to that date, been
secured by the hundred and more craft en-
gagged In the business. Even supposing
that majority were taken from Russian
and Japanese waters. or mostly from what
is known as the Commander Islands herd.
it would still leave vast inroad to be
placed to the account OF the Pribylov herd.
The plain conclusion from these figures
and facts. after all allowances for incorrect
estimates where exact records have not
been obtained, is that the international
regulations for seal hunting in the future
ought to place restrictions upon pelagic
sealing in the North Pacific as well as in
Behring Sea. The attention OF the arbitra-
tors at Paris having already been called to
this necessity. the additional experience OF
the present year should emphasize 1t. II
for any reason they should not fully pro-
vide for this important feature Of the task
Of seal preservation. the regulations which
England. Russia. and the United States will
presumably adopt should make up for the
lack. Otherwise. as Is clear from this
years operations. the regions immedi-
ately around the seal rookeries might be
tborouphlv proteoted nv suitable repula-
tions. and yet the animals would be sub
jected to fatal onsaughts all the way north
ward during their annual returns, SO as
still to subject them to the peril OF great
diminution. IL not OF determination.
