by Secretary Carlisle upon the company TOT the
fun amount OF the rental bonus and tax under
the terms Of the contract mnde by secretary
Windom with the company in 1870 for the privi-
loge Of taking seals on the Pribyon Islands The
law under which the contract and lease OF IL"
were executed passed In 1870 by It's terms
the rental Of the islands Was hxcd at minimum
OF 5000 and a tax OF 8 was laid upon each SKIN
taken by the lessee. The annual catch was fixed
at lo0ON and the Secretary was authorized TO
change that number, with discretion to modify the
rental as might he deemed proper.
After the contract OF iSo had been executed
in which the catch for the year ended May !. l"l
was fixed at GDOD skins. the Secretary "f the
Treasury directed the company TO cease killlng
seals after about 5000 had been taken. In IN"

REPORTERS.

A Massachusetts clergyman has dis
covered that reporters are a curse,
because they lack refinement and the
spirit OF God.
This is about what is periodically
alleged with regard to reporters and
newspapers by some minister who
knows nothing about either.
II the gentlemen who preach abont
newspapers knew anything about them.
and confined themselves to what they
knew, there might be some profit to the
newspaper profession from the preach
ing.
No class OF people in the world have
such an opportunity to constantly do
good as the newspaper reporters. and
none SO generously take advantage OF
the opportunity.
The fact is that newspaper reporters
have about as much of the grace of God
AS the ministers who preach against
them.
Reporters as rule do their work not
only conscientiously but with view
to subserve the principles that the min
listers profess to preach.
Such dyspeptic clergyman as the one
who preached against reporters on Sun
day very probably do less good in a
lifetime than large-hearted reporter
does in week, and he is actually
entitled to no special notice.

Mr.. CARROLL WANTS ScALPS.
Mr.. Hugh j. Carroll is after the scalps
of Colonel Honey of Newport and
Speaker Owen of Scituate and Proyi-
dence.
His cause of complaint against
Colonel Honey is that before he went
to Europe he fixed matters at Washing
ton in regard to federal appointments,
which Mr.. Carroll seems to regard as
an unwarranted interference with his
prerogative. Mr.. Owen has earned his
displeasure by failing to put him at the
head of some important sub-cominit-
tees of the state central committee.
Mr.. Carroll has already begun the
battle through his personal organ, the
Pawtucket Tribune. Colonel Honey is
well provided for in this respect, and
when he gets back may be counted on
to give the Pawtucket statesman a
broadside or two from his Newport
Herald.
But the question will naturally he
asked, Is Mr.. Carroll wise in whacking
the heads of his whilom friends and
associates? Mr.. Owen is speaker of
the Democratic house, Col. Honey is
chairman Of the committee on elections
while the ex-mayor hopes to assist
him in getting seat in the legislature
to which his opponent was fairly and
honestly elected.
Without the assistance of Messrs.
Honey and Owen, Mr.. Carroll cannot
carry out his barefaced scheme. BY
attacking, he may drive them to the
length Of deciding his contested election
case In accordance with truth and
justice, the very thing Mr.. Carroll
does not want.

SILVER SIlllNESS.

Sensible people in this country will
pay no attention to the wild, infamma-
tory and sen seless utterances INDUCED
in by the silverites at Denver recently.
The talk about opening the silver mines
at the muzzle of the musket and riding
bride deep in blood is nothing more than
the rowdy vapcrings Of irresponsible
demagogues.
No sleep will be lost over it here in
the east. The PEOPLE Of this section are
not going about with chips on their
shoulders. but they will be as prompt in
suppressing any uprising of the sill
verites as they were in thwarting the
schemes for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the
Union entered into by jeff Davis and
John Bull.
There is little doubt, however, that
the Denver incident will be seized upon
by English financiers to get firmer
grip on the American gold which it now
holds. But if Europe continues to be
as large a purchaser of wheat during
the remainder Of the year as she has
during the past month even the Bank
of England will, however much against
its will, be compelled to unlock its
Golfers and send good part of the yell
low metal it has 30 eagerly boarded over
the ocean again.
As to whether the Objectionable
clause in the Sherman bill will be re-
pealed during the coming special session
of congress, there is still grave doubt.
The senate will without question vote
in favor Of repeal by small majority.
but the outcome In the house is still a
matter Of conjecture.
The only encouraging feature in the
situation is the claim of men who are
close TO the president who say he would
not have ordered an extra session In
August II he had not received assur-
ances that q sufficient number of
Democrats would vote with the
Republicans to insure the releal of
the compulsory purchase clause. II any
attempt is made, however, 10 throw

THE CITY ELECTION.

1t is some time yet before the city
.el ection, but it is none too early to be
thinking about what shall be done to
place the administration OF municipal
affairs in able hands.
For two years at least the city has
been without mayor with vigorous
policy Of his own or capable of carrying
out the policy Of others. We have
been almost In the condition of mayor
less city. The dapper little gentleman
who has occupied the mayors Office
has not made such an impression upon
the city's history as will suggest the
erection of statue to his memory.
The one obvious thing that seems to
be already settled beyond discussion is
that the Republicans must see to it that
they put mp candidate and adopt q
platform that shall leave no doubt
whatever about the policy that will be
followed.
The Democrats in the city council
have this year made it impossible to
ignore party lines in the conduct of city
business. They have made it very
clearly apparent that their intention is
to turn everything TO partisan account.
The Republicans must, therefore, adopt
a sturdy and consistent policy of their
own. select their own candidates, and
prosecute vigorous campaign ON lines
laid down with reference solely to their
own ideas Of what is best for the city.
