Projecting the Seals.
(St. John Globe.)


We print from two Boston papers-one a
moderate Democratic journal. the other a
reasonable Republican-articles upon the
Behring sea award, and the reader can take
them for what they are worth. As the de-
eisions Of the arbitrators are also printed
the decision upon the territorial question,
~ also that upon the matter Of the
future care of the seals--the available
facts are before the public upon which to
form an opinion. Briefly stated the Behring
sea is declared to be an open sea like any
other, in which for all ordinary purposes
the Americans have no greater rights than
any other nation. As rrgirds the seals an
arrangement is entered into TO prevent
their indiseriminste slaughter. The Ameri-
cans have the advantage which ownership
Of the seal grounds naturally give them.
But IN the open waters of Behriog sea they
will have no advantage over other
nations The effect of the whole
Arrangement, however. is to protect
the seals in the interest of the United
States. This is a disadvantage to few
seal hunters, Canadian and American. but
il is no disadvantage at all to mankind,
The principle established in regard to the
protection of the seals in the open sea will
we hope, be extended in time to the protec-
ton of all kinds of food fishes which move
about from place to place, and which are
liable to destruction because of the way
in which they are pursued and because of
their capture by all kinds of contrivanccs.
