that could have been expected.
A close season is established, to

a protected zone is established, ex-
tending for sixty miles around the

Pelagic sealing is allowed outside

The use of firearms in sealing is
prohibited.
The Boston Journal well says:
There is strong suggestion about
this Behring Sea award of the Scotch
verdict. Not guilty, but don't dc
it again" The arbitrators deny
Americas right to protect the seals
and then, under a cover of interna.
I tional regulations, they submit protec.

ness more effectively than fleet Of

Here is the view taken by the
Wool Reporter
In the matter of the tariff, the
threat of radical change, formulated
and distinctly set forth in the Chicago
platform, was so positively repeated
that our manufacturers are more than
ever disturbed, and their discourage
ment is decidly intenser than it was
before the message appeared. They
had been indulging in the vain hope
that, considering the very critical
state of the financial condition of the
country, and the obvious crying need
of careful handling of affairs, and
the refraining from any fresh dis
turbing cause, the President would
distinctly state that while his own
ideas on the question of the tariff
were unchanged, yet in view of the
gravity of the situation, he would
recommend an entire postponement
of the tariff question for a year at
least. This certainly would have
greatly relieved the tension and
started up many mills. Now that
l L. al l..
the silver question is settled, their
interests are to be attacked, they are
firmly fixed in their determination to
keep their mills idle until it is seen
whether it is ever again likely to be
profitable to start them. Meanwhile,
of course, it is impossible to sell
wool.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Inquiry of leaders on the republi-
can side of the House elicits the state
ment that they expect to take very
little or no part in the debate now in
progress. Said one of them: "The dem
ocrats have undertaken to control and
direct the consideration of the question
and refused to give the republicans a
chance to amend the order regulating
the debate. We did MT believe that
free silver or no silver, which are the
only alternatives possible under the
Bland order, were the only two possible
solutions of the situation, and would
have been glad Of an opportunity to
have amended the order to secure a
vote on a proposition which we believe
would go farther than any ether to meet
and relieve the necessities of the finan-
cial situation. But this having been
denied us, we do not feel that the re-
publicans have anything to argue, and
my belief is that none of the members
on this side will take formal part in the
debate"
There are some of the best speakers
in the democratic ranks still to be heard
from-Cockran and Fellows of New
York, Wilson of West Virginia, Cul-
berson of Texas, Bynum of Indiana,
Bryan of Nebraska, and Hatch of
Missouri. 1t will be strange, indeed,
if their remarks, divided as they will
be pretty equally on both sides of the
question, do not call out some pungent
retorts of criticism.
As to the exact attitude of Messrs.
Burrows, Cannon and other western
men on the broad question of silver
coinage, there is some doubt, which
they themselves will probably take fit
ting opportunity to d,spel.

While we ,'pliad our northern lead. "

We sent them lead for lead.

And faces paled but the steel was ready
Though the ground at our feet was red
