Having discouraged starred-and-s tripod
activity at Corinto, the British govern
ment is now proceeding to set aside the
regulations framed and promulgated by the
international court which sat at Paris for
the avowed purpose of preventing any pos
sbility of disagree as to the manner
in which the seal fisheries in Boring sea
should and should not be conducted When
TIE decision of that court was first an
nounced it was at once evident that Great
Britain was the principal beneficiary, and
row it appears that the greediest of all
nations is not going to be satisfied until
everything goes its way, regulations or no
regulations. Last season British warships
did make some sort of a show of protecting
the seals. but this year there will be even
less OF ctivity in discouraging the poach-
ers. who are on the lookout to take ad-

1t Might Have Been Worse.

From the New York Tribune.
Well, it might have been worse There's
always comfort in that philoSophic refiec-
ton. The legislature now in its last hours
might have done more for the cause OF
good government and municipal reform
than it has, but it might have done much
less, and it might also have done some
things that would have been very serious
hindrances to reform which it refrained
from doing. Let us be grateful for the good
that has been accomplished and for the ills
we have escaped. and with renewed courage
and hope prepare for a renewal of the bat
tie which is always on and never ended
between what makes for righteousness and
the allied forces arrayed against it.

A correspondent suggests what should
merely need to be suggested in order to
achieve instant popularity-the naming of
one of the important streets or avenues
that will come into existence under the
street extension plan in honor of Alexan-
der r. Shepherd. Now that the District
Commissioners are engaged in seeking out
names for street designations it would be
an entirely appropriate and grateful thing
to give US Shepherd avenue. in recogni-
ton of the services Of the man who re-
created the national capital.

1t is announced that the post-office de-
partment officials are considering the adj
Visibility of making an order that the let
ter carriers in free delivery offices shall
salute the postmaster. the assistant post

whenever they may chance to meet. This
is a most excellent notion. 1t Is a step to-
ward that beautiful ideal that includes the
establishment of several other branches Of
the government upon a military basis
Take the State Department, for instance
What a splendid chance there is in that
field for symmetrical reform! How much
it would improve the appearance of things
if all those young men who stand as
guardians Of the awful secrets of the diplo-
matte bureau were required to arrange
their attire according to fixed rules and
laws! They might be ordered to wear
shoes just exactly so pointed, and no more.
Their collars ought to be precisely so high.
and no higher and no lower. The matter
OF turning up the bottom edges of the
trousers really should be adjusted by regu-
lation and a law established for the
amount Of clearance from the ground. So,
too, with their hats, cuffs and monocles-
monocles surely should be required from
all. A fixed date should be proclaimed for
the time of donning and doffing straw hats,
under severe penalties. In just the same
way many other reforms could be in
stituted. all tending to a more beautiful
appearance. So. while the letter carriers
are giving their superior officers military
salute, and the state department clerks are
being trained in the gentle art of being
uniformly beautiful, the treasury clerks
may be fitted out with pistols and swords,
ana. above all, the employees OF the District
government should be drilled assiduously
in keeping silence. There are vast posi-
bilities in the scheme, which ought not to
be allowed to end with the proposed post

A Cynical Summary.

n N3 HTcftI y
This world is but fieeting show,
And little joy he CLEANS
Who curiously undertakes
To look behind the scenes.
1t is not what the player does
That in the long run tells
In rounding out his base ball fame.
But what the umpire yells.
The f1eetest racer sometimes fails
The victory to claim:
IT'S not the horse that gets in first,
But the one the judges name.
And so it is with all success
That human life may see:
'Tis not the man that counts, but what
The man is thought to be.

violation of the agreement, yet, not salts

made pledges, the British government has
gone to the extreme of issuing regulations

regulations which give the consciencele5s

for to speedily secure c. profitable cargo.
1t would be untrue to state that the peo-
pie Of this country expect this administra-
ton to act promptly and effectively in this
matter. for the Presidents pro-Britist
tendencies in all diplomatic affairs have
been SO marked that no one who has
watched our governmental machinery
operate recently expects anything but meek
acquiescence in the desires which are trans
mitted westward through the soothing
medium of Ambassador Bayard President
Cleveland may not be aware of the fact.
but it Is nevertheless the truth, that many

if he would just once fool Great Britain into
