PRESERVING THE SEAL HERD.

The government Of the United States is negotiating
with Great Britain for the preservation Of the seal
herd of Alaska in the following manner The United
States will put permanent stop to the butchery Of
agree to prevent her subjects from taking seal any
where within radius of 60 miles around the islands
This arrangement, if carried into effect and not
evaded by the placing Of Canadian seaers under the
japanese some other fag would, in the opinion
of the Post -Inteligencer go long way toward sov
ing the sealing question. The protection Of the seal
herd in the rookeries and in the waters adjacent
thereto is highly desirable for all who look to the
seal to furnish permanent supply of fus The
Canadian seaers, to this extent are as much inter-
eSed are the people of the United States Indeed
they more interested, for under the proposed ar
rangementf and unless the present laws affecting
American sealers are modified, the Canadian sealers
will have monopoly of the catch of fur seal
But, doubtless, if the arrangement Is perfected a
modification Of our laws will follow If the slaughter
of seal in the Pribilov islands is absolutely prOhib
ited as it should be, there will no longer be any
private interest to urge the onerous restrictions which
have driven American seaers to take refuge under
the Canadian flag and which have extingushed a
thriving industry developed by citizens Of Washing
ton to the benefit of our brethren across the line in
Canada.
Sealing in the open waters of the ocean is as
sportsmanlike occupation as could be followed 1t
requires daring, skill and capacity to endure hard
ships The seal herd will never be killed by any
slaughter of the animals which takes place in the
open water of the ocean, when man has to pit his
skill against the swiftest and most intelligent ami
NAL which inhabts the waters The suggestion which
is made to the government of Great Britain by the
government at Washington is the most intelligent
one for settling Of the sealing question which has
ever been advanced on the other side Of the cont-
nent 1t strikes at the real danger to the seal herd
which CONS from the present permission given to a.
private company to slaughter the seal in their roo-
cries and during the breeding season in a brutal
cold-blooded and barbarous manner

doubted if he would, says the New York Commercial
He has been to great stickler for regularity him

HE is publishing newspaper whose continued pros

parties have become memories 1t is fair to assume
that Bryan is not fool
How account, then, for the course that he IS pur
sningf One guess may be no better than another:
but it is not at all improbable knowing, as Bryan
undoubtedly does, that the "jig is up" so far as
his ability to control twothirds of the St Louis con-
vention is concerned-that he may be maneuverinc

such business II was in this way that he secured
the support of the populists and silver republicans
in 1896 and 1900 1t is quite probable that, with
the aid of Hearst he may be able to control al least
onethird of the delegates at St Louis, and should
this prove to be the ease he will be in position to do

What reason is there for believing that Bryan
might not be mollifed with promise, for example,
of the portfolio of state? A number Of defeated
candidates for the presidential nomination have ac-
cepted this post at the hands of successful rivals
Buchanan did so under Polk, Marcy did so under
Pierce, Seward did so under Lincoln, Blaine did sol
under Garfield and Bayard did so under Cleveland
The post is of sufficient vanity 1t has been held by
three men who were already defeated nominees for
the presidency Clay Cass and Baine-and the
office would give Bryan chance to pose as an inter
national statesman. In addition, Bryan views on
foreign matters are pretty much the same as those
Of other democratic leaders
But all this is by way Of suggestion It is plausi-
Die only on the assumption that Bryan will have
sufficient strength at st. Louis to "hold up the op-
position and that the latter will be in concilia
ory frame of mind. At any rate it is hard to be-
ieve that Bryan is deliberately intending to detach
himself from the democratic party.
