Partially concealed by diplomatic clouds
is a most interesting situation in which
Great Britain and the United States are
deeply concerned. That friction exists be-
tween the two governments as to the Ber-
ing Sea seal-ishery regulations is no secret.
but IL was supposed that when the court of
arbitration decided as TO the legal rights
and equities of the powers involved all
real trouble was at an end. But the re-
marks uttered by some of England's states
men soon after the decision was made
public threatened disturbance and it was
evident that Great Britain was very much
disguised at the findings of the arbitra tors
Predatory privileges long enjoyed by Brit
ish and Canadian sealers were either alb
breviated or wholly cut off, and the Eng
fish firms which have made great fortunes
out of the preparation of sealskins also
saw most depressing diminution of profits
in the enforcement OF the regulations
adopted by the tribunal which met in Paris
last year. There is no reason why the
United States should give way on any of
the contested points. The arbitrators de-
cided against this country in it's claim to
supreme Jurisdiction over Boring Sea, but
they gave to this nation a right to pro-
tect the seals from destruction. and this

seems to be endeavoring to obscure and
nullify through a policy of obstruction and
delay. 1t is intimated that Secretary Gres-
ham will not give way to the pressure
which is being so automatically exerted by
her majesty's ambassador to this govern
ment, but is endeavoring With all the force
at his command to make the regulations
stronger and to provide a stiff penalty for
their violation. 1t seems to be understood
around the State and Navy Departments
that the policy of seal protection during
the season just about to open will be of
the aggressive variety. This will accord
with the popular American idea. and prom
Uses to be highly creditai lie to the admin
istration. Every vesse, available for police
purposes should be at the sealing grounds
as soon as the poachsrs can possibly get
there, and should enforce the law to it's
furthest limit, whether the offenders be
citizens of the United States or subjects

toria, or the representatives Of any other

in it's conclusion an appeal for Justice both
to the government which has wronged 1t.
and to the great people whom that govern
ment is supposed to represent.
After expressing his regret for the strained
relations of the two governments, President
Dole says: Such regret, on my part IS only

Federal elections law. With the re-
moval Of the imperfect protection
against fraud at elections which this
law affords, the Tammany majority

no st least, they claim. The State Of
Delaware. long a Democratic strong

MR.. WILSON'S FALSE ASSERTIONS
Mr.. WILSON the chairman of the
Ways and Means committee, in hi
speech before Congress, upon intro
ducing the bill bearing his name, used
these words: The operators of these
great factories have locked out Their
employees, and are falsely attempting
to make these employees believe that
they are doing so on account of the
fear of the passage of this bill. We
do not believe it is safe to assume that
Mr.. Wilson could be convicted under
an Indictment accusing him of being
a fool; and therefore we are driven to
the conclusion that, in making the
above assertion, he is insincere, and
uttered that which he and every other
intelligent man knows to be false,
and was spoken for no other purpose
than to deepen the Impression already
made upon the minds Of unlettered
and unthinking men, by like demago-
gic utterances oft repeated, that the
vested interests Of the nation are hos
tile to those of what is termed the
wage Garner. No argument is neces-
sary to convince anybody that there
never was time in the history Of this
nation, when such heart-eching dis
tress, both on the part of employer
and employee, was 70 universal and
widespread as at this moment. Thous-
ands of business men during the
anxious months of the year that has
just passed, have been forced into
failure, and have witnessed the
shrinkage Of their property values
till they have become reduced from a
condition Of independence to that Of
almost beggery. Hundreds Of corpor-
ations engaged in mandatory in
one branch or an other, have failed in
the past few months, and the dreadful
work still goes on with ratio and
degree as relentless as fate, and many
Of those whohave not failed, but have
stopped trying to do business because
Of the uncertainty Of the times, and
stfIl others, while running their mills
on short time, and to no profit to
themselves, but simply to employ
their men, are thus accused of starv-
ing the laborer in order to compel
him to invoke legislation that will yet
still more enslave him and enrich his
employer. Such an assertion. from
such source and on such an occasion
is sufficient to arouse the Indignation
and everlasting contempt of every
fair minded aud honest, intelligent
man, whatever his political view may
be.
