To Warn the seaIers.

It turns out that although the American
preparations to enforce the new seal-hunt-
ing rules are on q larger scale than the
British. yet the British war ships have
started sooner than ours on the actual work
Of patrol.
The Pheasant. little gunboat OF 755 tons
displacement. not quite as large as our Ban
croft. left Vancouver on Thursday to warn
the coast feet OF sealers to stop plying
their industry In the North Pacific treaty
area after Monday next. April So She will
be followed as soon as practicable by the
Hyacinth Of 1 .t2o tons. little smaller than
our Dolphin. and this second vessel may
start to-day. Each Of the British gunboats
is credited with speed OF IS knots.
On the other hand. while We shall prob
ably have over q dozen vessels engaged In
patrol duty. cooperating with the four or
i've British. our feet has not yet assembled
The rendezvous is at Port Townsend. and
1t II expected that from that point and Be-
attic the feet will set out on Its work next
Tuesday. The Yorktown and Mohican Of
the navy were ready long ago. and several
vessels OF the revenue cutter service may
be expected TO start with them. Tho Con-
cord and Petrol will proceed to OunAlaska
directly from the Pacific station. The
Adams from Honolulu and the Alert are to
Join the Mohican and Yorktown. and will
be followed by the Bennington. Ranger. and
AIbatross. and possibly the Marion.
It Is well on several accounts that the
British vessels should have got little the
start OF our own In this duty. Their
promptness will give a practical proof Of
England's intention TO keep good faith In
carrying out to the utmost the decision OF
the Paris tribunal. The language OF the
British bill on this subject was criticised In
this country because. as passed by the
House Of Commons, 1t provided that where
upon any proceeding against a person
and ship. In respect OF any offence COM
mltted against the statute. it should be
proved that the ship sailed from its port OF
departure before the scheduled provisions
were published there, and that such person
or master OF . ship did not after sailing
and before the alleged offence receive notice
Of those provisions. such person shall be
acquitted and the ship shall be released and
not forfeited" AS amended by Lord KIM
BERLET. In the House OF Lords. In the clause

The business of kidnapping is fiourishing
apparently at the present time. and It win con-
tlnuo In It's prosperity until O wholesome ex-
ample IL made OF some kidnappsr. Judging
from the records OF the courts. the Law Is not
severe enough In regard to this most horrible
crime. The kidnappsr always gets of too
easily. 1t is not safe to let him loose upon the
community after period OF few months or
even years in jail He should be kept In the
penitentiary for life Under the present law
the maximum punishment 10 fifteen years:
but It 10 more than probable that no kidnapper
in this State ever received the full penalty OF
the Law. The courts should deal more viRor-
ously with this offence until this law can be
amended. making the punishmsnt at the
crime exkbtly.

The Movement Against the Established
Church In Wales.

It Is evident that the RosEBERY Govern
ment will at least try to keep the promises
held out by Mr.. GLADSTONE. Although 1t
is still very young In oflce. 1t has brought
in Registration bill. an Evicted Tenants
bill. and. Notwithstanding some difference
OF opinion among the Ministers. It has al
lowed an Eight Hours bill for miners to OBJ
tain q large majority at preliminary
stage. But the Welshmen also had to be
satisfied. and so on Thursday was intro
duced by the Home Secretary. Mr.. AsoUTTH.
the long -heralded measure for the disestab-
lishment and disendowment OF the Anglican
Church In Wales.
For this project there is. Of course. prec-
edent In the disestablshment Of the An
glican Church In Ireland, which was effected
by Mr.. GLADSTONE about quarter Of q GEN.
tury ago. In this case. as In that
the ecclesiastical organization made an
object OF attack Is that OF o minor
fty; and. II the members returned to
Parliament fairly represent the popular
sentiment. there Is o much stronger feeling
In Wales than there was In Ireland against
the exclusive privileges possessed by the
Anglican communion. Numerically small
as was the Anglican element Of the Irish
population, compared with Catholics upon
the one hand. and Protestant Dissenters
on the other. It was still strong enough to
carry q good many Irish constituencies.
whereas nearly the whole OF the Welsh
delegation at Westminster Ii vehemently
In favor Of dlsestablishment.
Nevertheless. the present bill is certain
to meet with bitter resistance In the House
- II do har nil ha he.
similar measure applied to ireland en-
countered an opposition which only the
Queens personal influence availed to abate.
In the project now before Parliament the
fate Of the Established Church OF England
is much more directly involved. since not
only Wales. but one OF the English counties.
Monmouthshire. Is subjected to the pro-
visions Of the proposed law. Thus. not only
In principle. but In fact. 1t is the Church OF
England itself which is assailed. and its
supporters will no doubt recognize that now
or never the fight must be made to main
tain their traditional ascendancy.
We may assume. therefore. that Mr..
AsQUrTH's bill. should 1t pass the Commons.
will be thrown out by the Lords. and It Is
scarcely likely that the Queen will inter-
pose on behalf OF a measure which. by
withdrawing Monmouthshire from Its juris-
diction, levels blow directly at the estab-
lishment Of which she is the head. Thus.
in the coming general election the proposal
to disestablish the Anglican Church in
Wales and in shire OF England may play
quite as important a part as the home rule
question. Nevertheless. on this issue the
Gladstonians should win. All the Prot
estant Dissenters and Catholics In England
will side with Mr.. AsoUITH. while. on the
other hand. many OF the Anglican clergy
and laity believe-this is especially true OF
the high churchmen-that it would be bet
ter for the Church to be divorced from the
State. and depend for Its support on volun-
tary contributions. as 1t does In the Ameri-
can republic.

II the President Is Against the Income
Tax, Let Hin Say so.

A despatch sent out from washin gton on
Wednesday represented both Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND and Secretary CARLISLE as " greatly
adverse TO having the income tax In the
Tariff bill" The authority for this curious
statement is Senator BR1cE.
On the next day. Thursday. the Nep York
Herald printed the statement that Mr..
WALTER STANTON Of this town and Mr..
BRAMHALL OF Orange. New Jersey. had
called at the White House and had been
assured by the President that he did not
look with favor upon the income tax. Both
gentlemen left the White House with the
impression that Mr.. CLEVELAND would like
TO see that part Of the bill killed"
The most recent official and authoritative
expression Of Mr.. CLEvELAND's ideas. con-
cerning income taxation was put forth un-
der his own signature on the fourth Of last
December. Speaking Of the programme Of
the WILSON Committee on Ways and Means.
Mr.. CLEVELAND then wrote: "The commit
tee have wiseip included In their plan q
small tax on incomes derived from certain
corporate Investments" Then he added.
referring both to certain changes In the In
ternal revenue taxes and to this proposed
tax on incomes: These new assessments
are absolutely just and easily borne"
A peculiar thing about Mr.. CLEvELANp's
utterance Of Dec. concerning the income
tar. is that while 1t purported to be an an
nouncement, 1t was really nothing more
than Recommendation or suggestion. The
Committee on Ways and Means had not at
that time included tho income tax In their
plan. wisely or unwisely. 1t could not be
known at that time whether the new as
seesments were or were not absolutely just:
or whether thoy could or could not be borne
easily; for the new assessments had not yet
been determined on. and their character
and incidence were absolutely unknown
quantities.
The bogus announcement by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND Of the income tax as an accomplished
fact In the tariff programme. served we'll
to clear the way for Its subsequent In
corporation in the WILSON bill. 1t notified
the cuckoos In Congress that Mr.. CLEVELAND
favored the proposed departure from sound
and safe Democratic principles. and 1t
enabled the Socialists and sectionalists TO
carry their point under cover Of " Admins
tration policy"
These facts are not to be altered by any
indirect disavowal OF responsibility now. II
the President has meanwhile exercised the
unquestionable right Of every statesman
or citizen to change his mind: II he now
peroeives that the socialistio tax Is In
famously unjust and oppressive. and that
Its Incorporation In the Tariff bill was O
stupendous political blunder. let him say
so. manfully and honorably. and before the
damage Is beyond repair. Let him stop
the Unreasonable mischief which he has
put In motion. To do that. 1t will not
be enough to whisper private regrets In
BRIcE's ear. or to confide to chance callers at
the White House his theoretical objections.

A gratifying feature Of the reports made
at the recent annual meeting Of tho New York
State League for Good Roads. was the evidence
that the farmers throughout the State are
showing q lively interest In the work Of tho
League. This Is true especially Of the Oneida
county farmera Tho League IL not commit
ted to any form OF legislation or to any on .
kind OF road building. 1t aims prim arily to
interest people In the subject TO convince
them OF the financial advantages OF having
good public highways. and to supply the voters

tion. in the line Of the Leagues efforts. IL for

Hogan and Cleveland.

According to the maxim that consistency

GROVER CLEVELAND is q great mind. He

should be levied upon the net earnings Of
corporations. HOGAN Of HoaAN's Own. the

boes that are marching upon Washington
In answer to the implied invitation given by

HOGAN seized upon Northern Pacific train

marshals appointed by Mr.. CLEvELAND's
own satellites. HooAN's Own took offence
at this surprising course. and when the
train stopped at Billings there was q fight.
Tho Marshal's men were inferior In num-
bers. and the Hoganites moved onward on
their borrowed train. The Governor Of the
State called upon the President for help.
and force OF United States troops was d.
rected to stop the progress Of the Hogan
ties, and SO 1t did.

the result OF Its proceedings: The Republi-

consequence. but neither ls the Democracy.
The ability displayed In opposing the DEM
ocratic minority in both Senate and ASSEM-

vented the latter from gaining any consid-
cradle political advantage at the Demo-
cratic expense.
