THE impression is gradually forcing
itself upon the public that no govern
ment action, legislative, executive or
judicial, is now taken in this country,
that is not influenced in some degree
by money. 1t has now been developed
that the real object of the recent act
approved by the President, in reference
to seal killing. is to give the North
American Commercial Company, which
10 allowed by that act to continue to
kill seals on the Pribylotf Islands, q
monopoly of the seal skin business in
the United States. This company, it is
we'll known, is already in default to the
government to the amount of hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

AND NOW it appears that Germany
has not seized a part of China, that
Russia has acted at Port Arthur with
the consent of China, that China is not
being torn to pieces and divided among
the other nations of the earth, and that
the whole Chinese affair is solely and
entirely the work of Yankee sensa-
tionalism. No matter how foolishly ab-
surd this government may be, those OF
foreign countries have men of ordinary
common sense to manage their affairs,
and such men, in this age of the world,
do not provoke war.
