THE FUR SEALS.
REGULATIONS TO GOVERN CATCHING
THEM NEARLY COMPLETED.
Carlisle and Sir Julian PauncefOrte
Confer-Danger of the Animals
Becoming Observation-Disclosures of
Paris Award Wanted.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE secretary Of
the treasury has about completed his
regulations for the government of vessels
employed in fur seal fishing during tee
coming season. These regulations, it is
said will not materially differ from those
in operation during the last season. Sir
Julian Pauncefor'te, the British ambas-
Sador, had a conference with Mr. Car
isle today, and 1t Is thought that in es-
Sential particulars, the regulations to be
issued by the British government Will
materially differ from our own.
Another matter, however, of far greater
Importance to the sealing industry, is now
under consideration. Assistant Secretary
H2mlin last summer visited the Pribylof
islands, and investigated the whole seal
ing question, and has now about COM
pleted his report to the secretary on the
subject. The report has rot been made
public, but it IS believed it will show the
greater menace TO the life Of the seal
herds is pel2gic sealing, and not the num-
Der permitted to be taken on the islands.
IT Will also show that the action Of the
Paris tribunal has been proved to have
fallen short of preventing the wanton
suit in the total destruction of the herds
since seals may be freely killed sixty
miles from shore As these are mostly
females the increase of the heards is pre-
vented. Another provision OF the Paris
award, which is said to have been abor-
tive, is that no fire arms shall be used
within the siXty-mfle zone. The most sue
cessfuI natives, it is said, never use fire
aims, the spear or harpoon being far
more effective and in general use.
In view of these facts it is believed
steps are about to be taken to secure
England's consent to a modification of the
Paris awards, having for its object the
total suspension for a specified number
of years of pelagic sealing within the
Boring sea. No measure less heroic than
this it is said. can prevent the ultimate
extinction of seal life ii these northern
y-aterS.

mankind, as a unit. What is best
for all is best for the individual :
And to benefit he individual is to
benefit the whole of mankind Any
other conception of society, that is
humanity as whole, is based on
selfshness While to follow the
idea of the communist would des-
troy American institutions, there is
need for a universal application Of
the command of Christ to love our
neighbor (mankind) as ourselves.
This means a Christian community
of interest. It is beginning to be
recognized as prime principle
that while any one has the moral
right to make as much money AS
he can, he has no moral right to
use it solely to crafty his desire to
tyrannize over other members IF
society. For these are his breth-
rem. They are indispensable to
him. Without their cooperation
he could have neither wealth nor
protection. And to them, there
fore, is he due debt of gratitude,
to say the least, for his success,
his power and his safety All
wealth is, therefore, more or less
corporate, from a Christian stand
point. 1t exists for the indlvid-
uaPs happiness, but not merely
that of the individual who pos
sesses it. He who makes it posi-
bic for him to amass it is also en-
titled, as a member of the same or
ganism, to a full share in this hap
pjness. This is the doctrine of
the New Testament. Every one
is his brothers keeper. Ones
neighbor is not merely the nearby
one in locality, but the near by one
in kind. For "He made of one
every nation" We are also ''the
offspring" of God. And it is
through deeds which recognize and
are based upon this klnship that
man must come back to Him. 1t
does our hearts good to hear the
great sociologiSts-men # the
world, many Of them-talkir e these
things. II is a dav of triumph for
the Bible. The altruism 1t teaches
is the real and only basis If a pei
fected society.
On the other hand, apply this
principle to that rank and most
noxious of all eeds-anarchism -
and it cuts it out, root and branch.
And so does it also destroy any
oozings from it. Strikes of labor
ing men accompanied by incendia-
rism or other interference with
property rights is quite as foreign
to true society as is the tyranny
of the employer. Either is directed
against the organic whole. When
the employee Injuries the employer,
he does so apart from the Biblical
principle of altruism, or 0ther1Sm
The outcome is bad, naturally.
One may as we'll cut hole in the
bottom of a steamboat on which
he is a passenger, thinking that
he will suffer no harm if he cuts it
elsewhere than in his own state
room. Really, bis safety depends
upon the boat. The security of all
is his own freedom from harm.
And SO is the well-being of every
man dependent upon that of
society. To injure that or any
part of it is to injure himself and
his. Keeping himself is to keep
others. So, the reverse. And
this is SO not simply from the fact
that the New Testament says if.
