terfere to check British aggressions. Nor
can the German government claim that it's
own safety is in any way menaced by any
step which the English might take against
the Beers; it can only assert a right to in
terfere on the ground that it's interests are
involved, which is thought by many to be
the only tenable grounds upon which this
government can base its right to be consid-
cred party to the dispute between Venez-
uela and a British dependency. There is
no doubt that proceedings in the Transvaal

ship line consisting of powerful, swift,
and capacious vessels, between Ham
burg and Galveston, the success Of
which will be advantageous, not only to the
Texas city on the Gulf, but also to the i'm
mense and productive region lying west of
the Sabine River and running far to the
north, for which it is the seaport. Calves
ton possesses a splendid harbor, guarded
by a bar which is constantly crossed
by vessels drawing twenty-three feet of
water, SO that the big steamers Of
the new German line can ride with safety up
to the wharves Of the city. Hamburg,
as we'll as Galveston, will be bene-
fitted by the line, The trade be-
tween the two cities will be en-
larged to the profit of both of them. The
food products and cotton of Texas will be
transported more quickly and more cheaply
to foreign markets, as the merchandise sent
from abroad will the more readily reach
the prepossessing port of the Gulf of Mexico.
Let trade and commerce flourish.
We notice that a number of our Texas
contemporaries entertain the opinion that
the new steamship line will make New York
jealous of Galveston. These contempora-
ries do not know New York. New York re-
joices over the prosperity of all American
cities, and over the growth of their com
merce. We like to hear of the good luck of
Boston and Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Charleston. Mobile and New Orleans. San

ways ready to help a rival or any place
that may desire to enter into rivalry. We
often furnish the money for building up
places which foolishly suspect that We are
enyous of them. If New York had not
loaned millions OF capital to Chicago, that
town would have been a good deal smaller
and humber than 1t is.
Therefore we congratulate Galveston
upon the extension of its shipping and its
commerce, May the city grow bigger

Defeat the Forestry Amend ment.

At the coming election the citizens of
New York will be expected to vote on an
amendment of the State Constitution,
known as the Forestry Amendment. This
proposed change in the fundamental
law regarding the Adirondack lands owned
by the State, has twice passed the Legis
lature and will be either adopted or rejected
by the people next Tuesday.
We have received several letters asking
for THE SUNS advice respecting the amend
ment. In the shadow of the great issue of
the Presidential canvass this matter of State
concern has received little attention.
The amendment permits the leasing of
parcels of not more than five acres of the
State preserves to individuals for camping
and cottage purposes; and it authorizes the
sale of State lands outside of the forest
limits, the proceeds of such sale to be in
vested in the purchase of more land within
the forest.
Our advice Is to vote against the pro-
posed amendment; TO vote it down.
We are surprised to observe that the pres
ent members of the State Fisheries, Game and
Forest Commission favor the amendment
and officially recommend it's adoption. AS
far ms we can understand their statement of
reasons, the question resolves itself with
them into one of slight technical advantage
in the administration of the States prop
erty, and of an insignificant income to be
received by the State for the lease to indi-
viduals of small parcels of the forest lands.
The broader and more important consid-
eratiors seem to us to be conclusive against
the adoption of the amendment ThaSa mov
be stated briefly as follows:
The late Constitutional Convention, after
a thorough examination of the subject,
adopted the present provisions by ununi-
nous vote. 1t was the only Constitutional
change thus adopted and rs it stands, it
guarantees the most precious possession
of the State against the schemes of dishon-
esty and the projects OF folly. There could
be nothing more dangerous than to begin,
on plausible preteXts, TO tinker the invio-
liable Constitutional provision and to i'm
peril what has been gained.
Furthermore we understand that the
very amendment now submitted to the
people was considered at the time when the
whole subject was before the Constitutional
Convention, and was then voted down on
its merits

Is There Hope for the Seals =?

It looks very much rs if the Commission
ers appointed by the British and Dominion
Governments and by our own, had found
out what the trouble is with the Behring Sea
seal industry. They have returned from their
work Of investigation, and Prof. JORDAN of
our Commission implies that there is an
entire concord among them as to all the es
sential points in controversy. There can
no longer be any difference of OPINION he
says, "as to any facts
What, then, are these essential and in
disputable factss They are, as DR.. JORDAN
says, that while n count showed more seals
on the Pribylov Islands than the Commits
sioners had expected to find, 1.-THE number is
steadily declining;" that 1.-The only cause
of this decline is the killing Of females
through pelagic sealing" and, finally, that
1.-THE killing of helpless young males, under
the system imposed by our laws upon the
lessees of the Pribylov Islands, has always
been a benefit to the herd" In other words,
the American view has, by these careful
studies, been sustained throughout.
When our country went before the Paris
tribunal and made these same assertions, it
was met by testimony of British Columbia
sealers, who had an obvious interest in the
evidence they gave, defending pelagic
sealing, and denying that any danger
to the herd came from it. The arbiters
imposed certain restrictions on that form of
sealing which have not kept the animals
from dwindling in numbers. Our repre-
sentatives in the Paris tribunal protested at
the time against these rules as inadequate,
but only after several seasons of additional
ravages in the Pribylov herd, and after the
introduction of retaliatory legislation into
Congress, has our country succeeded in get
ting the attention of England and Canada
to its complaints.
So far as we have observed, the views of
Prof. THOMPSON, the head of the British
Com mission, have not yet been given as
freely as those of DR.. JORDAN; but if the
latter, who returned with him, is correct in
saying that there is and can be no difference
of opinion as TO the facts investigated, his
forecast Of Il friendly settlement Of the dis
pute is presumably correct.
1t only remains now to learn whether the
British and Canadian Commissioners are
really in full accord with ours, and whether
England will act promptly to restrain
pclagic sealing in accordance Herewith.
We have had pending in Congress an alter
native proposition to kill all the seals on the
islands and sell their skins, which is still
awaiting the decision OF these points.

A Completed Fusion.

Forty-flve States will choose Presidential
electorsvn Tuesday, and in twenty-nine
of them union of forces upon such cleo
tors has been made between the Popocrats,
supporting BRYAN and SEwALL, and the
Populists supporting BRYAN and WATSON.
In some of the States, South Dakota, for
instance, the Democratic party. or what
used to be the Democratic party, has virtu-
ally disbanded by endorsing the candidates
on the Populist ticket, without any pretence
of sustaining the ticket put in nomination
at Chicago, or the platform adopted there.
In Oregon, too, State of early Democratic
antecedents and of many Democratic tradi-
tions. the party organization has been sur
rendered to the newly spawned Populists.
Populism has practically absorbed it.
The Chicago platform has been set aside in
favor of the more radical and incendiary de-
liverance Of the st. Louis Populists, and for
Mr.. SEwALL has been substituted the Popu-
list nominee. In other States, as for in
stance, Colorado. Idaho, and Kansas, the
Populist leaders have surrendered their can
didate, WATSON, and are supporting Popo-
cratic electors pledged to his opponent, Mr..
ARTHUR SEwALL.
In all the States in which fusion between
the Popocrats and Populists has been ef-
fected in time for next weeks election,
there have been trades and dickers between
the SEwALL supporters and the WATSON
supporters. They are ostensiby united in
favor of BRYAN, who was nominated by
both the Popocrat and Populst Conven-
tiops, but each side has been endeavoring to
win advantage, political or material, by
fraIipu nj fn oh ala
office, as wheat or corn might be trad
ed, or pennies matched. The voters
of principle, sincere conviction, and indie
pendence have thus been disregarded in
succession of " arrangements" based upon
the claims of leaders, and of them only. In
North Carolina, perhaps, the evils of this
dickering and trading have been carried to
the furthest limits of scandalous negotia-
tion. The eleven electors nominated under
the general management of the Populist
Chairman, Senator BUTLER, include five
ropoCrats, pledged to SEwALL apd hostile
to WATSON; five Populsts, pledged to WAT
SON and hostile to SEwALL, and one "Silver
party man." claimed by both sides. On the
State ticket the BUTLER Populsts have
made an alliance with the Republicans on
some of the offices, and like alliance

course there is no pretence of consistency
or principle in such arrangements. They
are based merely on the personal interests of
individual leaders, and are justified by them
on no other ground.

way to the present stage, is suggestive of
several colored gentlemen in the woodpile.
They were not recommended by the prede-
cessors OF the present Forest Commission
ers. They knew nothing about it until
after 1t had been put through the Legisla-
ture for the first time. Who was interested
In procuring this stealthy enactmentf
What private interests have pushed the
matter along to the final stage without at
tracing much attention.
We believe that the true friends OF forest
preservation are opposed to this dangerous
experiment. We know that the business
interests concerned in the preservation of
the Adirondack woods for the sake of the
water supply of the Erie Canal, are up in
arms against it. The New York Board OF
Trade and Transportation is against it.
The State Association for the Preservation
of Fish and Game is against it. The Presi-
dent of that association, Mr.. AMsDEN of
this town, presents the case with great
force as follows:
Tho Forest Preserve or State Park created for
the dement, or the puOnC nj tho nu''
vduai benefit few lessons II permitted the best
localities for fishing or hunting would be speedily
leased for indefinite term OF years the public eS.
cluded and the purpose for which the preserve was
created would be destroyed forever Several persons
could combine under leases and control large
tracts for their exclusive use and benefit, or could
erect summer hotels without number upon every
available spot stream. pond, and the beauty OF the
woods nd entire face of nature would be changed
forever"
The Adirondack forests are the common
property and priceless possession of the
people of the whole State, and they should
not be opened to entry and partial monopoly
even by limited leases. The provision re-
specting the sale of the denuded lands is
equally dangerous. 1t smells of job in
contemplation.
Vote down the amendment by all means!
Take no chances when the security Of the
Adirondack forests is at stake. Cut no hole
through the Constitution to let monopoly or
jobbery get at that noble preserve.

Who Wants to Fight

This is an invitation to throw away half

A Passing Opportunity.

Five week days remain in which GROVER
CLEVELAND can try to atone for the false
hood which has been working such mischief
in this momentous controversy, by melting
people to choose the silver side Oft instead Of
the gold side. Let him confess, publicly, over
his signature, the truth that of the S262,- !
OOO, 900 worth of new bonds, which have
served as the great red rag of Pop
ulsm because he has declared that they
were sold in order to uphold the gold
standard, far more than half was used SIM
ply to make good the deficiency in the Fed
eral revenue. An immense Administration
flourish was heard when the gold was
brought into the Treasury; but not an hon
est word was said when it was paid out the
next day to settle the Government debts.
Compared to these bond sales, BRYAN the
poor, tramping, spouting BRYAN, has been
puny infant in slandering the cause of hon
est money and in spreading the doctrine of
Reputation. The single act of justice and
assistance to the gold standard, of which
Mr.. CLEVELAND has been capable during
this campaign, remains unperformed. The
truth told by him about the bond sales,
even on the eve of election, will be moro
useful than if never told at all. The cleo
ton will occur next Tuesday.
