John Bull Coming to Terms.

A single year has sufficed to bring
about a grea: change il the British
view of American policies. Unless
all signs are misleading the British
Ambassador has returned to his post
at Washington hot-footed with q
scheme for bringing the Venezuela
controv ersy with this country to a
conclusion in advance of the report
of the commission appointed to ex-
anime into the rival claims of the
original parties to the dispute. Lord
Salisbury has descended all the way
from his perch aud is ready TO submit
a programme that we can afford to
consider on its merits. 1t is intimated.
indeed, that when Congress meets in
December the President will lay be-
fore it both the commissions report
and the British proposals, and, more
yet, venezuela's accep-
tance of them.
This, however, is not all. In spite
of its remoteness, the question of the
determination of the seals in the
North Pacific has long been a cause
Of Irritation between the two coun-
tries, Lord Salisbury's government
The Taney County republican., 1896-11-05

having resolved, in the absence of all
preof, that pelagic sealing was not by
any means as destructive as the kill
ing in the Pribylov islands by the
North American seal company.
There was an element of churlishness
and bad temper in this attitude, and
it was Intentionally rendered ofens-
i've, because the American company
had anticipated the British. 1t is
pleasing to note that the British ex-
pcrts who have examined tho facts
report that they are not as the Brit
ish government supposed they were,
but are just as we represented them.
1t is now probable that our own
naval forces will have the hearty as
sistance of the British in SO regulat-
ing the sealing industry that tho
threatened determination of seals
will not take place.
