Hope for the Seals.

The settlement or the Pacific seal
ing problem cannot long be delayed
by the diplomats of four great powers
the United States, Japan, England.
and Russia For many years the
question has been practically in
allegiance, and it has more than once
threatened good feeling between ma
tons Russia and America have
honestly tried to preserve the seals
from destruction, but their plans
have generally been put at naught
by the Canadian hunters who roam
through the Behring sea without
any too great regard for property
rights or the preservation of the val
liable animals
The time-is coming when this sort
of thing is 10 cease. A new and
powerful factor has come into the
discussion-Japan. She too, has
islands which she wishes to protect
and from which she can take seals
with some discrimination, leaving
the stock TO multiply almost natural
iy. and. ii is believed. she would
gladS see an international law pro-
hibiting pelagic sealing altogether
To this the Canadians will object
strenuously, as Canada has no rock
cries of her own in the Pacific region.
Whether this country buy out the
Canadian sealers, paying a fair
bonus, or whether the nations agree
to let English subjects have a share

GLADST0NE's BoYHooD POEM.

The famous William Ewart Gladstone
is said to have written when a boy this
poem: entitled An Ode TO the Shade of
Wat Tyler"
Shade Of him whose valiant tongue
On high the song of freedom sung:
Shade of him whose sublime soul
Would pay no taxes on the poll;
Though swift as lightning, civic sword
Descended on thy fated head,
The blood of Englands boldest poured
And numbered Tyler with the dead
Still may thy spirit flap its wings
At midnight Ger the couch Of kings,
And peer and priest will tremble. too.
In dread of mighty interview.
With patriot gesture Of command.
With eyes that like thy forges CLEAN,
Lest TyIer's voice and Tylers hand
Be heard and seen in nightly dream,

Enter the Supreme Court.

Judicial construction follows public
opinion, sometimes with what seem
to be laggard steps, but on the whole
AT a pretty safe pace. Sometimes it
leads public opinion, and when it
does so public opinion is not often
slow TO catch up with the process
sion.
Judicial construction yesterday, for
instance. took a long step toward
crystallIzing sentiment on subject
which is Just now much in the COM
munity's mind and the Congressional
mind. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission-Ofttimes COntemptuously
referred to by its opponents as use
less body-won a decision, which, if
IL does not hold fatty against car
risrs engaging In producing and
vending the commodities they trans
port, at least lays broad and deep
the foundation of reasoning on which
such q decision may be expected to
follow when that particular question
is squarely raised.
The decision IS IN a coal case.
The Chesapeake and Ohio, itself con-
trolled by the Pennsylvania, in turn
controls immense coal fields in West
Virgiaia. It sold 2,000,000 tons of
coal at a price so low it was obvious
that unless. in delivering il, the COM
pauy cut its own rate on coal trans
portation, 1t must be heavy loser.
The court holds that by this device
Il was, in fact, cutting its rate, and
enjoins it from thus Tebating in
future. The decision comes from
a unanimous court.
This decision is strictly in line with
the inquiries at which the Gillespie
ans Tillman resolutions ain. 1t
foreshadows. first, that in such in
quiries. Congress, or the Interstate
Commission, will find that there is
substantial control of the coal bust
ness by certain roads; anC, second,
that when judicial proceedings are
brought in view of this state of facts.
the court will sympathize with the
demand that carriers must not be
producers or vendCs
It is high time such an attitude
was established. for the coal bust
ness of the country has fallen into
the hands of the railroads to a far
greater extent than is commonly
realized, and in proportion as it has
come into this control scandals and
favoritism have resulted. The spec
tacle of the Santa Fe playing into
the hands of the Colorado Fuel Com
pany, whose stock was largely held
by Santa Fe officers, is duplicated
in many other places. The Rock Is
land system is practically on trial
before a Congressional committee.
charged with trying to steal one of
the greatest coal fields in the coun-
try. The Burlington system has long
been deeply interested in coal mines.
and has, under the Hill management.
immensely increased these holdings.
The situation in Pennsylvania terri
tory has recently been widely venti-
lated, and will presently be still
further aired.
These conditions are impossible;
they are fatal TO anything like equali-
~ of opportunity. They mean the
abnormal, unhealthy development of
one interest and the starvation of
another. They cannot continue with
out inesumable injury to business
interests; and they will not continue
if Congress shall press the line of
inquiry it has undertaken, and the
Supreme Court shall hold up its
hands in other cases as in the one
just decided.
