TOO MUCH PROTESTING.

The avowal of Mayor Taggart that he
stands upon the Chicago platform will not
satisfy the silver push All last summer
he made such an avowal every few days
Even when others did not express distrust,
his Honor would break out with express
sions of intense loyalty to the Chicago plat
form, which gave many of his friends the
painful impression that he was trying in
vain to convince himself that he believed
that stamping every fifty cents worth of
the silver syndicate's silver one dollar is
the thing to do to make the country pros
porous. Being shrewd business man, Mr..
Taggart had hard work to make himself
believe that he believed in the free coinage
of silver. There are those who will insist
that he did not. and who will express
contemptuous distrust when they shall
have seen the latest avowal of the mayor
The push is not particularly interested
as to the attitude of Mr.. Taggart to the
Chicago platform in rhetorical perform
ance. The leaders of the push" have their
envious eyes upon the boards which con-
tain gold bugs" For these positions they
have the intense eagerness of the hungry
wolf. They are already saying: Let Tag

sity, on the part of the United States, and
Professor Darcy w. Thompson on the part
of Great Britain. They were each assisted
by several other experts. These two COM
missioners were appointed in 1896 for the
purpose of making a scientific investigation
of the condition of the fur-seal herds on
the PribiIof islands with special reference
to the injurious results of pelagic sealing.
President Jordan made his report to the
secretary of the treasury in January last
He said, in part
Pelagic sealing, in the judgment of the
members of the present commission, has
been the sole cause of the combined de-
cline of the seal herds. 1t is at present the
sole obstacle to their restoration, and the
sole limit to their indefinite increase. 1t
is, therefore, evident that no settlement of
the fur-Seal question, as regards either the
American or the Russian Islands, can be
permanent unless it shall provide for the
cessation of the indiscriminate killing of
on their migrations There can be no
open season. for the killing of females
if the herd is to be kept intact.
The report recommended as the only
means of saving the seal industry. total
abolition of the open season for pelagic
scaling. 1t said: so long as pelagic seal
ing exists the restrictions governing it are
of slight Importance" 1t was emphatic
that to prevent the determination of the
seals pelagic sealing by the ships of any
nation must be abolished. 1t was SO en-
phatic that the government was justified
in supposing that the report of the British
commissioner would be equally so. The
British report was not published till the
latter part of April, about three months
after President Jordans. 1t was not
nearly so emphatic as the American report,
and while it admitted that the seals ought
to be protected from pelagic sealing it tried
to evade the conclusion that there was
any necessity for new restrictions or regu-
lations. Now, through the joint efforts of
Hon. John w. Foster and Minister Hay an
agreement has been brought about for a
conference of the experts with view, If
possible, of agreeing on a joint report, or
at least on a state of facts that will fur
nish a basis for joint action by the two
governments. The United States, Great
Britain, Russia and Japan will be represent
ed at the conference, and it will probably
cover the whole question of protecting the
seals in Boring sea. 1t has become a Vexa-
tious, irritating and tiresome subject, and
ought to be definitely settled and dis
posed Of

THE EVERLASTING SEAL QUESTION.

The publication of Secretary Sherman's
dispatch to Minister Hay, which raised
such a hubbub in the British press. has not
prevented the British government from
agreeing to a conference in Washington for
the purpose of reaching a better under
standing and basis of action on the seals
question. The authoritative announcement
of the fact from London is as follows
The publication of an isolated old dis
patch which has been duly replied to- much
as it may be regretted, has not retarded the
progress of the negotiations in London. AS
there seems, however, to be some miSappre-
hension on the subject it should be pointed
out that in the communications now pass
ing there is question of altering the
regulations now in force in the Boring sea
or of imposing fresh restrictions. Mr.. Fos-
ter, on behalf of his government, is urging
that the two experts representing the gov
ernments interested should meet and COM
pare the results of their Investigations
with view of arriving at an agreed state
of facts. That is the sole object of the
proposed meeting. Any idea that this con-
ference will deal with the question of re-
vising the regulations is entirely instead
ing.
This statement seems to have been
framed with some other purpose than
merely to announce the fact of the coming
conference The allusion to Secretary
Sherman's communication as "an isolated
old dispatch which has been duly replied
to-" seems intended as a notification that
it does not require any further attention.
AS a matter of fact, the dispatch was
dated May TO- and its publication at this
time while later negotiations were going
on, was untimely. The publication did not
come from the State Department. 1t first
appeared in New York paper and is sup
posed to have been cabled from London
Perhaps the dispatch had some influence in
leading the British government to agree
to the conference. The foregoing state
ment is also very emphatic in saying that
the sole object of the coming conference
will be to arrive at an agreed state of facts
between the experts and that the question
of revising the regulations now in force
in Boring sea win not be considered. All
this looks like an attempt on the part of
the British government to show that, al
though it has agreed to the conference, it
has not yielded anything. 1t certainly has
yielded that point if nothing more.
The present contention turns on the point
whether. under present conditions the seals
are in danger of determination or not, and
whether the reports of the commissions of
scientists on the subject justify this con-
clusion. The two experts referred to in
the foregoing statement are President d. s.

in this declaration means the leaders of the
push who make it. They will be satisfied
with nothing less. They will jeer at the
mayors protesting and mock at his atti-
tude. They will only be placated when the
heads of the Curtises, the Liebers, the

are presented to them with pledges of APP

The mayor should know that if his prot
estations of devotion to the cause of the
silver mine owners did not convince those
who know of his lack of loyalty, fresh repe-
titions will not do so now. They will say,

The new DebS movement in the interest

right to the product of their own labor, no
matter how small it is. They want a

W. f. Du Bois, IN the Atlantic.
The history of the American negro is
the history of strife-this longing to attain
self-conscious manhood TO merge his doub-
lie self into a better and truer self In this
merging he wishes neither o. the older
selves to be lost. He does not wish to At
ricaniZe America, for America has too
much to teach the world and Africa; he
does not wish TO bleach his negro blood
in a flood of white Americanism, for he
believes-foolishly. perhaps, but fervently-
that negro blood has yet a message for the
world. He simply wishes to make it pos
sible for man to be both a negro and
an American without being cursed and spit
upon by his fellows. without losing the ok-
portunity of self-deVelopment.

A great clamor will be made because the
Sugar Trust will make money from
the raw sugar which it imported
under the 40 per cent aid
valorem provision of the German law.
This is not the fault of the House, for
which the Republicans are responsible, but
of the Senate, and particularly of such
senators as Vest, Jones of Arkansas, and
Allen, who wasted days in frivolous speech.
If the bill had been passed by the Senate
as promptly as it was by the House the
Sugar Trust would have gained nothing by
importing under the ad valorem duty of the
present law.

has made an interesting and readable book.

chiefly with the bright side of things, but
that is because Mr.. Logan saw only the
bright side He was guest at the coro-
nation of the Car, and afterwards
was treated with the utmost courtesy and
consideration. He had good opportunity
to see Russia through rose-colored glasses,
and he describes it as he saw it, The book
is all the more pleasant reading because
the author finds so much to praiSe-Such
love for the Little Father" such loyalty
to the Tsaritsa, such cOntented peasants,
such splendid wealth OF color IN the archl-
lecture, such gorgeous glitter in the pa

The Literary History of the Amer
lean Revolution.

A valuable and interesting addition to
the history of the revolutionary period is
new work entitled THE Literary History
OF the American Revolution" by Prof.
Moses Colt Tyler, of Cornell University.
The work is the product of a method
which, if not wholly new certainly has
never before been so fully applied in the
critical treatment of the American revolu-
ton. The outward history of that famous
procedure has been many times written
and is now. by new generation of Amer
. lean scholars, being freshly rewritten in the
light of larger, evidence, and under the di-
rection of a more disinterested and more
judicial spirit. In this work of Prof Tyler's
for the first time in a systematic and a
fairly complete way is set forth what
might be called the inward history of the
revolution-the history of its ideas, its spir-
itual moods, its motives. its passions, even
of its sportive caprices and its whims, as
these expressed themselves at the time
whether consciously or not, in the various
writings, of the two parties of Americans
who favored or opposed independence. The
authors plan has been TO let both parties
to 1're contest Wings and Tories, revolu-
tiCusts and loyalists, tell their own story
freely in their own way and under the
impulse of the time in which they lived
For the purpose of historic representation
the author has recognized the value OF the
lighter, as we'll as OF the graVer forms or
literature and consequently has given full
room TO the lyrical, the humorous and the
satirical aspects of our revolutionary rec
orbits songs, ballads, sarcasms and liter
airy humors. In short, the entire body of
American writings relating to the reVolu-
ton, from 1863 to 1885, whether serious or
mirthful, in prose or in verse, is delineated
in its most characteristic eXamp'~~ for the
purpose OF exhibiting the sever, ages of
thought and emotion through the
American people passed during event
full period. AS a result of this IN one
reads in this work very little of The do
ings of Congress and Parliament of states
men and generals, but learns great deal
of the motives of the people, of the
spirit of the times and of the spiritual pow
ers that shaped events. The work is full
of curious and valuable information, and
is written in a style conspicuous for its
vigor, clearness and fine literary quality.
