AN OPEN QUESTION.

IL looks very much M II all was not
going our way before the Benng sea
commission. AM that " Mr.. Russell
concludes TO conclude his speech be-
fore the commissioners die OF or DO.
come demented, there will be other
fingers than oursin the pie. 1t all goes
to show that In making any kind OF n
bargain, nothing should DO left to In
ference or presumption; all the features
In the case should be understood and
put down, AMI then II either party can.
not deliver all the goods It sells or In
any other way falls to come up
squarely to the requirements OF the
deal, let forfeiture which shall pre-
viously have been secured be made.
Nations and individuals would save a
great deal Of III feeling and expense n
they would do this all the time.
lfthe commission should decide that
Russia had NO title In the thirty mile
limit 10 sesward which she conveyed
TO the United States-within which
are contained pretty much oil the seals
between the straits and the Alcutian
Islands and probably a majority
OF those In the whole world

three miles OF sea water skirting our
northwest possessions; and while these
contsin q goodly number OF the bone
or rather In this instance the hide
OF contention, the extent to which our
sealing interests as compared with
what they are now would be- cut down
would be something prodigious. This
would not, however, be the worst part
Of It, We have been bandying words
with and marrying our British
neighbop continuously for years
over their alleged "piracy," "dis-
regard Of the law and comfy OF ma.
tons" and 70 on, and they would
then have the laugh on us II not In.

Russia; she got her money and gave
US possession OF something she did not
own. IL we demand restitution to the

she would have double defense:
First tho purchaser must beware and
II he does not ascertain what 1t Ia that
he Is buying II is his own fault and
bis own loss; second, the purchase
turned out better for US than we ex.
pected 1t would, the property bought
having already yielded many times
more than 1t cost, 30 that In equity the
claim, II any, would be- the other way.
However, the decision is not made
yet and as Sir Charles Russell seems
to think that speech to be immortal
must also be eternal, IL may not be for
some time; and even then there is
chance for It to come our way after all.
In the meantime the question will
prevail--ls the Boring sen open or

Great Britain, after being held by the

may not recognize the muse when he
