The speech which Senator Morgan de-
livered in the Senate on Monday on the
seal fishery question was undoubtedly
very able presentation of that subject.
1t also put Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador to this country in
a rather unenviable light But the thought
uppermost in the minds of the American
people concerning the controversy be-
tween this country and Great Britain In
respect to the seals in Boring sea, is that
that matter has been discussed in and out
Of congress for years, has been presented
in a number of presidential messages,
was thought to have been finally and
forever settled by the tribunal which held
it's sessions in Paris and which cost this
country a great deal of money. but that it
is still subject of state papers, diplo-
matte correspondence and speeches TO
which few listen and still fewer read.
Did the Paris tribunal fail to accomplish
what it aimed to accomplish? Was the
money this country spent in supporting
that institution wasted? Were our mem
bers of the tribunal overmatched? We
would much rather Senator Morgan would
give us some light on these questions than
occupy his time in firing shots of sar-
casm at the British ambassador, however,
well aimed the shots may be.
Our purpose in taking part in the arbi-
tratiop which the Paris tribunal conduct
ed was to get what belonged to us in
Boring sea. namely, the seals. and to
have the seals so amply protected in go
ing TO and from the breeding grounds
that there would be no danger of their
determination We appear to have missed
our purpose in every respect. We haven't
control of the seals for which we con-
tended nor are the seals protected from
indiscrlminate slaughter. In fact, recent
reports indicate that there is great dan
ger that they will be exterminated in a
very few years. 1t looks therefore as If
we have gained nothing by the agitation
of the seal fishery question or by sub
hitting that question to arbitration and
that the settlement of the question will
come through the determination of the
seals

Have The RepubIicans a policy.


If the republicans have a policy as to
legislation the fact has not yet cropped
out. There isn't one Of them. from Speak
er Reed down 10 the least important
member. who is in position TO say wheth-
er any attempt at currency or tariff leg
islation will be made. We are inclined to
think that Representative Cannon was
right when he said that there would be
nothing done except 'jawing and talking
and the passing Of appropriation bills"
Mr.. Cannon understands his party asso-
ciates pretty well He is satisfied they
are afraid to do anything-afraid they will
make a mistake and lose the next presi-
Dental campaign
The "jawing and talking is going on
at a great rate. Yesterday the House
showed its feeling toward the administra-
ton by adopting a resolution calling for
an investigation of certain remarks al
legged to have been made by Ambassador
Bayard. The resolution is in keeping with
the republican programme. For two or
three days now the republican press and
working themselves into passion because
the President has gone duck hunting.
They pretend to think he ought TO be in
the white house attending to the public
business. The particular point they make
is that an important communication has
been received from the British govern
ment in respect to the Venezuelan contro-
versy, and congress can't find out what
it contains until the President returns. In
view of the fact that the communication
is in answer to a note from this govern
ment delivered to the British govern
ment last July. it can't do much harm if
congress is kept in suspense a few days
longer.
But if the republican majority has no
policy it is certain that Speaker Reed has.
He has very decided policy. 1t is to
use the Office of speaker for all it is
worth to advance his chances for reach
ing the presidency. He is making up the
committees so as to strengthen himself.
in every way he can. He knows that
those who are disappointed won't dare
to make trouble for him. because if they
attempt to do so he won't give them a
chance to let the country know they are
members of congress. 1t is in his power
to let a member make a speech or not or
even to make motion, and ne viii use
that power to the utmost. Those who are
disposed to kick. therefore, will think
twice before doing so.
1t is noticeable that on the democratic
side Mr.. Reed is pushing the silver men
to the front and keeping the sound money
men in the background. He is doing that
with the hope of strengthening the silver
element in the democratic party. He
would like to bring about a split in the
democratic ranks, because a split would
increase the chances of the republicans
for success in the next national campaign.
Mr.. Reed is certainly playing the game OF
politics for all there is in It,

1t is observed that while some northern
reformers are decorating their larynxes
with vehement denunciations Of the
Sheats school law of Florida, which for
bids mixed schools. there is a lively row
in the city of Wilmington, Del, because
a little girl who is merely supposed TO
have few drops of negro blood in her
veins has been allowed to enter public
school No. 5 in that city. The girl is
said to be as fair as any child in the
school, and to be totally wanting in the
characteristic features that mark the
black race. Nevertheless, complaint has
been entered with the school board. and
Committeeman 5. F. Belts says he is not
satisfied that the child shall remain in
the school so long as there is doubt as to
whether she is white or tinged by the tar
brush.
