THE SEAL PATROL.
A Large Number of Vessels Will Be
REQUIRED to do the Work.

1t is a serious problem for the naval au-
thOrities to secure a sufficient number OF
vessels to carry out the agreement of the
arbitrators respecting the patrol of the seal
waters. The seal he .ds usually make their
appearance OFF the California coast about
May 1. They proceed northward along the
coast, feeding as they go, and in course of
time arrive at the Pribylov Islands in Ber-
ing sea. As soon as the herds are sighted
off California the sealing vessels begin to
hunt them and there is no relaxation of the
chase day and night until the weary ami
mails reach the sixty miles closed zone
around the islands. The slaughter is very
heavy and particularly when the seals
are caught in the smooth water in the
headlandS on the upper coast and though
the take of seals is large, reaching total
of 10000 last season, the slaughter is much
greater as one of every two or three seals
killed at sea is recovered, the others sink
ing rapidly.
What Must BE Done.
So to protect the seals adequately it will
be necessary for the naval and revenue
marine vessels to follow the herds, keeping
the poachers at a safe distance, clear up to
the seal islands. At present there is but
one naval vessel available for the revenue
service at San Francisco. That is the Alert,
now under repairs at Mare Island. The
Yorktown arrived at San Francisco from
Cailao last night, and can be called Upon,
Marion, caused by the necessity of repair
ing the injury sustained in a typhoOn on
the Chinese coast, these two vessels are
likely 10 be all of the naval force that can
be made ready for service by May l. 1t is
the intention to bring some of the vessels
of the fleet now at lilo around Cape Horn
for this duty as soon they can be spared
from their present diSagreeable post, but
it will take them long time TO reach
the seal waters, unless start is made i'm
mediately, that they will not be of service
at the opening of the season. And when
they do get as far around as san Francisco
it will be found that they will be in heed
of repairs after their long exposure in IrUp
tcal waters, before the vessels can venture
on the BerinS sea service. This Will con-
sumo valuable time and in addition, the
Navy Department is much embarrassed to
ma money to defray the cost of repairs
in the present depleted condition of the Inn
tied appropriations made for such purposes.
Altogether, the scarcity OF available ships
IS severely felt by the Navy Department.

THE KANSAS OIL FIELD.

The Kansas oil fields are attracting
considerable attention. The boom is
not wind or gas. The oil is there.
Whether in paying volumes is not known
by the general public. An EAGLE man
spent two days in the Wilson county
fields this week. There is little to learn
outside Of the fact that great MANY
leases have been made by different oil
companies. In the vicinity of Neodesha
thirty-five wells have been put down and
twenty-nine more have been decided
upon. These are all within rsstrictad
area. There IS oil in all but three or
four. But one flows. The Others are
pump-wells. But few tanks have been
built and the wells are not being worked.
Ii the field is as rich as supposed i'm
mense tanks will soon be built But the
erection Of a refinery Will be the surest
guarantee that the find IS valuable.
Nothing is known of refinery except
the superstition that preparations are
being made 10 build ono at Neoaesha.
\ refinery would be followed by a tank
line to the Missouri river probably. But
the capacity of the wells or united wells
are to be first tested. In sinking these
wells both gas and salt water have been
struck. One gas well our representative
reports as being Of great pressure.

OUR STATE BLISTER.

Ii ever people had cause to regret an
election it is the people of Kansas. The
mischief wrong ht and the loss entailed
by that fatal Tuesday in November '92
VIII be felt for all time to come, but to
measure its extent would be impossible.
Scarcely an issue of the leading daily
papers of the country fails to work in
some slur or comment upon the state by
reason of the idiotic doings and savings
of the brainleSs crew who are holding
down our state offices. The New York
Tribune, in late issue, takes the mouth
ings of the fool Osborne as an authorize
tive statement of a majority of the voters
OF the state concerning the Coxey move
ment. We have poor weapon of de-
tense when such reports go out from
those who hold the offices. It requires
majority vote to elect them, and the
mere holding of the office is taken as
evidence that they reflect the views of
such majority. Such criticisms and
conclusions are not always just, but the
most we can do Is to make, what NAV
seem to outside readers, a very lame de-
Tense. Our only recourse is to wait and
bear it as best we can, and see that
these itinerant scandal breeders are
relegated to the oblivion they so richly
deserve. 1t emphasizes the necessity for
selecting men Of character and proper
qualifications for state offices. Another
such an outfit as the present one would
be worse than a ton of straw on our
already overloaded camel.

with the reflection that they are legally
,onest in thus getting rid of halt their
| !ebts. Because they can not have it this
way they are beginning to develop into
L veritable case OF ''dog in the Manager"
Sentiment in The Republican
party is all one way and that
Is for bi metalism. There has been
.ome difference of opinion as to the best
method to adopt to bring it about, but
when it is honestly admitted that we are
all agreed on the first proposition these
| differences will disappear, so that by the
ime we take charge in 1896 we viii he
| ready to act promptly. Since this gov
eminent has quit trying single-handed
10 maintain the price of silver while
such great nations as England and Ger
many have been bears in the silver
market, those countries are beginning To
come to time, and if we supplement- our
course for the past year with law en-
bOdying the ideas IN Senator Lodges
bill and in the Indiana Republican plat
form they will be forced TO accede to
the universal demand for safe BIZ
metallIsm. This is the object that John
Sherman and his followers have had in
view all the while. What they predicted
would follow the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman act and our re-
fusal to be reduced 10 a silver basis by
free coinage is coming to pass SO tar as
other nations are concerned. The re-
possibility is shifted TO their shoulders
and the time is close at hand when
they will be forced to recognize
the importance of the matter
and act accordingly. In this state
of sffairs the Republican party is per-
fectiy free from responsibility which
makes it a golden Opportunity for delib-
GRAFTON. International bi-meialiism
would be reasonably certain to establish
and maintain parity of gold and sill
Yer. and if this can be done the question
will be settled for this generation at
least. No plan will ever be devised that
will be perfectly free from objections,
but if the spirit of compromise be cult
waited the outcome will be satisfactory to
a large majority and that is all that can
be expected of anything human. IS
