THE MINING LAW.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Herald
will be found the mining law of this
state published in parallel with the
mining law of California, which IS
practically a copy of the Utah law.
That a state so famous in the annals
of the mining industry should have
virtually adopted the mining law of
this state is a distinguished compli-
ment, and is such an Endorsement of
the law that it should silence captious
criticism of it, The law is a very de-
cided improvement over the old system
of recording location claims, and will
be acknowledged to be such as soon as
any experience of it has been had
1t is said that suits are to be brought
to test the validity of the law, the par
ties who will test the law being the
mining recorders of a couple Of the
leading districts. Very well; let them
fest the law. 1t will doubtless stand,
though the assault upon the law will
be easily understood. If the law is
sustained, Othellos occupation is gone,
and Othello's occupation has been a
most profitable one in the past The
motive for testing the law, in the hope
that it may prove invalid. is a purely
selfish one and is not prompted by a
single sentiment in favor of the public
welfare. Mining and county recorders
have been favored and pampered at the
expense of the people in the past; in
the future it will be different.

THE MAGAZINES.

In the timeliness of many of its ar
ticles the Century magazine might
well be a daily paper instead of
monthly magazine. The first article in
the June number is devoted to Queen
Victoria, being an account of the
Coronation Rolf BIZ Florence Hay
ward. The article, which is illustrated,
tells of many curious things and is ex-
tremely interesting. THE Shaw Mem
orial and the Sculptor st. Gaudens"
may be called the chief article of the
number. Edward Atkinson gives THE
History of the Monument William
A. Coffin tells of the work of THE
Sculptor st. Gaudens,'' while Colonel
T. w. Higginson gives an account of
'Colored Troops under Fire" The ar
ticle is copiously and beautifully illus
trated. General Horace Porter con-
tinues his Campaigning with Grant"
the present article telling of operations
about Richmond, Petersburg. and At
lanta, and in the Shenandoah Valley
'Heroism in the Lighthouse Service"
by Gustav Kobbe, is the beginning of
a new series called Heroes of Peace"
The keepers of the lighthouses seem to
be heroes indeed. "A Great Modern
Observatory" by Mabel Loomis Todd,
gives an account of the Harvard OBJ
servatory and the great work it has
accomplished. How a Riddle of the
Parthenon was Unravelled" gives an
account of a wonderful work accom-
plished by young American scholar
in Athens.

The Overland Monthly for June is
unusually we'll supplied with frontis-
pieces, having four. The article of
chief interest is In Natures Labora-
tory" being an account of the Yellow
stone Park. 1t is not so much a sci
entific account as one of experiences
while driving and fishing in it. IT is
well illustrated. The whole number
will be found very interesting.

Commenting on the acquittal of
Ravemeyer the Chicago Record says:
In the circumstances the only thing
to do is to congratulate Mr. Havemeyer
on the shortness of his memory and
the slight oversight in neglecting to
bring his books with him. If he had
had good memory ne might, strangely
enough, have known how much sugar
money went to the political parties
Had he had the books he would have
been compelled to refresh his memory,
with possible embarrassment to him
self and TO certain senators who NAV
have felt during the campaign the be-
nign influence of campaign funds ema-
mating from some myste -ious source.
Mr.. Havemeyer should set it down as
a pleasant coincidence that both books
and memory were missing" Mr.. Have
meyers was a remarkable feat of mem
DRY. II is said Macaulay's memory was
SO marvellous that he could repeat all
of Paradise Lost" Mr. Havemeyer,
with his remarkable memory, should
be able to repeat the whole of Para
disc Regained."

Commenting on Senator Cannon's
bounty -on-a agriculture amend
ment to the tariff bill, the Boston Her
aid says: IF the Lubin bill, introduced
as an amendment by Senator Cannon.
were to be adopted, it would undoubt-
edIy increase the selling price in this
country of all Of the agricultural COM
nodites included under it, whether ex-
port or not This advance in price
would be, no doubt, at the expense of
the American people. who had first to
pay the bounty on the goods exported
and the equally advanced price on the
products consumed at home. But this
contribution on the part Of the con-
suming public is precisely what has
to be made under the tariff upon such
goods as it protects. One claim is Just
as good as the other; and, what is
more. this is inevitably a claim that
will be made in the future, and be made
under popular conditions that will COM
mel a hearing The difference between
senator Cannon's amendment and
protective tariff is that his scheme
contemplates taking the money out Of
the treasury direct while the protect
i've tariff scheme coatemplates taking
it out of the pockets of the people
through higher prices.

ARE POOLS ABOVE THE LAwp

While there is much unjust and I'M
warranted prejudice against capital in
its various forms still there is but too
much ground for the charge or COM

the great corporations of the country
have an undue influence and are treat
ed with an Indulgence and favoritism
wholly inconsistent with the common
and accepted standards of what is just
and right in the administration of the
law. The country has just witnessed
the astonishing and humiliating spec
tacle of the sugar king Of the country
being allowed to go scot free of the
charge of contempt of the senate of
the United States. No doubt he now
holds both the senate and the court

BRANDING THE SEALS.

The question of what shall be done
to preserve or protect the fur seals is
continually coming up. II is realized
on all hands that they are rapidly
being exterminated and that if some
thing is not done very soon it viii not
be long before they viii become ex-
tinct. Extinction is probably their des-
tiny.
The latest suggestion regarding them
comes from President Jordan of Le-
land Stanford, Jr.. university: ii is that
they be caught and branded; this for
the purpose of destroying the value Of
their fur and not for the purpose of re
ducing them to ownership. The propo-
sition is wholly impracticable, as it is
as necessary to catch a seal before
branding it as it is to catch a rabbit
before cooking it. Probably the only
thing that could be done in this line
would be to brand them with a curse.
But supposing Dr. Jordans plan were
practicable, what would be the conse-
quence? If the branding destroyed the
fur the seals would still be hunted for
what fur was net destroyed or else for
Some have even advocated the plan of
the government engaging in the work
of determination. The proposition is SO
monstrous and barbarous that it will
never be entertained. 1t is really a
proposition that red Indian would re-
pei as an insult. If the catching of
seals cannot be regulated they will
will be no necessity for any government
to put a perpetual disgrace upon itself
by engaging in the work of extermina-
ton. There should be something more
to our civilization than mere pretense.
