Too Many seals Killed.

SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 12-J. Stanley
Brown, special Uaited States treasury
agent of the seal islands, has arrived
from Pribyloff islands after an absence of
several months. He was accompanied by
severel other agents. He says the seals
we're in good condition this year, and the
weather was uot unusually unpleasant.
The continued taking of seals in the
open sea is tending steadily to reduce the
seals. Unless a stop Is put to this seal
killing at sea, the numoer of seals that
annually visit the islands will be greatly
reduced. "The contractors killed this
year," said Brown. "about 10000 of the
10000 that the government permits to
be taken from the rooSerles. Besides
these, sea'ers who weae taking seals in
the oDen sea killed $4,000. These are
far too many, At this rate the seals will
be exterminated. Il should he remem-
bered that, while the government does
permit the taking of any immature males
from the roekeries, the mariners who go
after seals in the open sea kill males aud
females indiscrIminately. AT present the
killing of seals in the open sea caunot be
under the laws entirely prohibited. 1t is
not poachiDg, for hunters do not come
upon the islands or within a marine
league of them. At least, this Is not the
rule. 1t is very fortunate that Assistant
Secretary Hamlin visited the sealing
grounds this year. He worked very hard
to gain an exact knowledge of the condi
tions. This was just what we, who have
been visiting the islands for years, de-
sired. One might write and speak inces-
sanity, but he could not depict all the
facts as they exist. Mr.. Hamlin Is q
high official, and now he thoroughly un.
derstands the situation, His report is
certain to be very Important and in
teresting document"

who has been travelling for the past eight
months, arrived here from BataYia, Java,
yesterday, in company with several
friends He says there Is yie!ent i'm
surrection of natives ON the island of
Lombok against the dutch rulers. The
native island king has joined forces with
the natives and unitedly they are doing
all they can to throw off the Dutch yoke.
War Is in actual progress. How inany
have been killed on each side Is not
known, but In the last engagement; the
Dutch forces were repelled. In Batavia
there was great excitement. Every body
expected" said Timons. "that the revo-
luton would spread, and it was thought
the wsr might be long and bloody. A
month ago when I was there commuuica
tion was almost entirely cut off. The
reason for this was the Dutch govern
ment had seized all the steamers and
sailing vessels and pressed them into
service, There was a single French
steamer running, and on this / managed
to get away. The Dutch were then COLI
lecting all their forces and forwarding
them to the island as fast as possible.
Up to the time left Batavia they had
sent 5000 from that port. The island is
large and contains rich tin mines. It
also produces very large amount of
coffee, sugar, indigo, fruits and other
crops. 1t is tbickly populated"

Trial of strike Leaders.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12-Western Union
messenger boys had an inning at the
Debs trial today. Several boys were
called as witnesses, and all baftied the at
torneys' attempts at confusion in cross
examination. James Connors testified to
having delivsred messages to various
AMerlcan Railway Union officials, among
then President Debs. He swore posi-
lively to having delivered at least three
to Dcbs personally, and ide ntlfied the
presidents signature on the delivery
sheets. Gus Woblers gave similar tes-
timony, and SAID he had given several
kilograms into Debs' hands. Fred Mil
Ter, stationed at Debs' headquarters dur
ing the strike, declared he had delivered
kilograms to each of the defendants. On
cross,'examinatian he pointed out the
defendants in the courtroom.
Director Hogan, of the American Riil
way Union, was called. He said he did
not wish to be examined and was excused
ON the plea that as he was a defendant

An esteemed cotemperary takes the

tion: "An exchange says wages will

will be more equal at the end of the

lican. business, common sense rule.
The opportunities for making a CON-
Portable living are going to be in
creased, but those for earning princely
salaries, and those for becoming sud
denly rich, will be correspondingly de-
creased. These changed conditions
will be brought about for several rea-
sons-one on account of the more set
tied condition of the country and its
various propert;es-one on account of
the passage of laws the better protect
ing the interests of the masses. Wages
will not need to be so high as they
were. The necessities and most of the

cheaper. But all the people must be

Democratic papers are prophesying
a revival of business in all departments
of trade. and the people are ANXIOUS to
see practical demonstrations of the
truth of this statement. While money
Is held in vise-like grasp, wages low
and people buy cents instead of dollars

their daily toll to support themselves

"good old times" have come again.

DANGER AHEAD.

The industrial question is one of
the greatest Importance In the United

CHICAGO, Sept. 13-The government

PENDANTS be called upon to testify. The

the matter to pass without ruling. Jo-
seph ELDERS, night clerk at the Lelani

Starved.

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 13-Mrs. Kate
Massey, her 3-year-old child and her In
FAINT were found starving yesterday, 10
their house in Westminster avenue,
Stockton, near Camden. A month ago
Mrs. Massey's husband died while under.
going an operation in Philadelphia hos
pital; two weeks later Mrs. Massey gave
birth to child. She was left destitute,
but she would not ask for aid, and her
neighbors did not know her condition un
til yesterday, when Overseer of the Poor
John Renner visited her house and found
her and the children apparently dying.
Mr. Renner Immediately summoned DR..
o. L. Greembrecht. but the doctor said
the woman and her children were too ex-
hausted TO recover, but he took them i'll
hand Immediately. The infant died
soon afterwards. Its death was entirely
due to lack of nourishment. Mrs. Massey
can live but few days at the furthest
and the other child is very low. The
mother had starved herself and given the
triffing food she had to her older child.

POPULISM.

The Populists are prophets of evil
in the fullest sense of the term, and
never miss an opportunity to decry
the present condition of affairs. To
them the world is growing worse every
day. and evil is more prevalent now
than it was few years ago. The race
is retrograding, and if thiscontinues in
stead of millennium dawning in the
future the reign of corruption will be
more widely extended, and eventually
this planet will be ft abode for
Beelzebub and his followers. They
preach this gospel of discomfort With
out showing how it can be bettered
except by electing them to high off,
clal positions. If such should happen
their prophecies are golden in prom
ises, and In promises only. They
would set the printing presses at work
grinding out greenbasks and the mints
turning out silver dollars. These
would be scattered broadcast, and
everv son of toll would be permitted
to fill his pockets without being
troubled by giving an equivalent.
Money would lose all value,
and would be as free as the
air we breathe. To the infan-
tile mind this is Utopia; to the
matured judgment it i. confusion of
the worst kind. Dreams are COM
posed Of very thin air; bu. they afor d
consolation to weak minds and luna
tics. Men of thought must have
practical demonstration of theories or
visionary notions before they place
any confidence in them, and in every
instance Populistic ideas when tested,
have been proved to be unsafe and
unsound and very injurious to any
country. They hive been tried in
France and other nations. and have
always resulted in bankruptcy. In
times of business depression wild
schemes are frequently advocated as a
means of relief; bot where these have
been thoroughly tested and found fall
lacious it is worse than folly to make
any further trials. Populism is no
remedy for the stagnation of trade at
present, and relief will come when the
former regime in national affairs has
Deen reinstated.

THE G. 4. r.


The national encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic has been
i, session in P1ttsburg, Pa, since the
llth instant, and the session has been
harmonious and interesting. These
battle-scared veterans of the civil war
are worthy of the nations highest re-
speot, and the principle for which they
fought should be paramount In the
mind of every American citizen. SGf-
6cient time has elapsed since the sur
sender of Lee at Appomatox for the
bitter feelings engendered by the civil
war to have been forgotten, both by
those who we're in the ranks of the
Uniou army and those who constitu-
ted the soldiers of the confederacy, and
in these annual reunions there ls moth
ing done or said that will tend to re
yive sectional hatred or destroy the
peace and harmony that now exists
between north and south. The indis :
soluable union of the states is the firm
foundation upon which the republic
| must always rest, and anything that
will impair it is menace to free instl-
tutions and to the permanency OF the
republic. There is no portion of the
people now who doubts the truth of
this statement, and as the former ele-
nents of strife have been obliterated
there is no apparent danger that any
| attempt will be made in the future to
divide the union into separate parts.
Human slavery, which created so much
continuous strife, is no longer in ex-
istence, and states rights have been
definitely settled by the arbitrament of
the sword. These are no longer shad-
ovs which are thrown across every era
of peace and prosperity, and the con-
tests that now engage public attention
are those which are easily settled in
legislative halls and at the ballot
box. This is an speeh Of peace
and fraternity, and old soldiers may
gather iu their annual conventions
without any fear of being disturbed
by the jarring sound of the var drum
or the shriIl tone Of the ffe, They
can talk over victories and defeats on
southera battlefelds without arousing
any feelings of animesity or impairing
the patriotic feeling that now pervades
both north and south. Long years
ago the war cloud sunk beneath
the horizon, and the heroes who suf-
fered from its tempests will always be
honored by the republic. The. nun
Der of actual participants is becoming
less yearly, and in time the last re
naming one must answer to roll-call
on the other shore; but their deeds
will always be remembered With graft
tude, and as they were crowned with
the laurel wresths Of victory when
they returned maimed and Scared
from the battlefelds of the union, so
while they live they will he source
of pride to the nation and an exem-
plication of the stern and unrelenting
patriotism of American citizens

No ome,ars for Bounty sugar

WAsHINeToN, Sept. 1a-Secretary Oar
isle in letter today, addressed to sem
a.or Catfery, of Louisiana, officially de-
cided that under the new tariff law it
will be unlawful to appoint inspectors.
weighers and testers of bounty sugars
under the Nc KlLley act, and further.
that congress having made no appropra-
ton for the employ nIent of sucn officials,
the laws OF the United 8 ates prohibit the
employment of such persons without
pay.
The letter does not decide the main
question In which the sugar growers are
interested, which Is whether the sugar
bounty for this yesr earned up to the
time the tariff bill went into effect would
be paid. There seems little doubt, how
ever, that he has no authority to pay the
bountIes earned this year before the tariff
bill went Into effect. The law says il
shall be unlawful, after the passage of the
act, to pay such bounties. The only re-
course left to sugar growers for bounties
earned will be to sue in the court of
claims.

HOPEFUL.

The world is growing better. There
ls less crime now than there was O
number Of years ago, and men bear
misfortune with more patience than
formerly. Times are hard, business is
dull and money scarce, and yet the
record of crimes is increased but little.
Ii the minds of men were inclined to
vicious ideas, murders and robberies
during these times of wart and star
vation would be largely increased. The
means Of ferretting out infractions of
law are much more available than they
ever have been. and therefore crimi-
nails are more easily exposed. 1t is a
hopeful sign for the optlmist that the
world Is progressing to higher plane
of existence, and that there Is less
tolerance for the misdeeds of wealth
and more fer those of poverty. Riches
are less venerated than they we're, and
have not the power in legislation or a.
the ballot box than was formerly DOS
sessed by them. The people are be-
ginning to understand that there has
heen lack of conscience in officials IN
the past, and are urgently demanding
a stricter adherence to duty and to the
rights of the masses OF course there
always will be dishonest men in all re
lations of life; but the signs of the
times indicate that persons will be
held more strictly accountable for all
acts of misfeasance and malfeasance
than they have been. The milleniuu
is not dawning; but the world is NOR.
enlightened than il was, and the re
lations Of individuals to each othe,
are better understood and carried gu,
on Iearer CORE ct Ir.ncip es Th.
world is as we make it, and if We
earnestly strive for better state OF
{ existance we may attain our object.
