British Stupidity. or Worse.

There is no valid excuse for the pro-
tests which leading English journals
have been making against the appoint
,nent of Messrs. Foster and Hamlin as
a commission to consult with an Eng
lsh commission with a view to the
adoption of some measures which may
protect the seal fisheries from extinc-
ton. An Englishman is proverbially
liable to misconception of American
purposes and principles but the intelli-
eence which dictates the policiesof these
journals is such that the erroneous
statements made by them cannot
pIausibly be attributed to British
stupidity.
The only conclusion which is possible
is that the writer's of these articles, al
raigning this country. intended to make
mischief and give vent TO some of the
spleen they have accumulated on ac-
count of the manner in which their
concessions to arbitration have been
received by the L. S. Senate. MI
Fosters reply to an article in the
London Times punctures the silly pre-
lenses. He calls attention to the f'ct
that this commission is appointed soi--
" for the purpose of preserving ms
seal herds from extinction which was
