thus be driven out of this profitable business.
A still later proposal was to buy out the
Canadian sealers at present engaged in the
Pacific industry by payment of half million
dollars. Canada to agree, however, to pro-
hibit her people from ever engaging in it
again. But the Canadians Indignantly spurned
the idea as a sacrifice Of their international
rights They were next offered the right to
pelagic fishing in May and June, now pro-
hibited. if they would agree to give up killing
seals at sea during August and September.
But they claimed that this was an attempt to
induce them to accept worse bargain than
they now enjoy, and declined accordingly. 1t
is thought that satisfactory settlement can
be reached only by granting Canada share of
the rookeries and then framing an interna-
tional compact regulating the future of the
industry on mutually beneficial basis.
Whatever may be the policy adopted for
regulating the Bering Sea branch OF the in
dustry in the future, it is manifest that some
action must be taken ere long if the business
there is to be saved from annihilation. Steps
must be taken to provide for suspending waste
full slaughter for some years, and the protec-
ton of the herds must be more efficiently car
ried out This will mean that the price of

seal skins must rule still higher for the next
decade at least, for thus far no substitute has
ever been secured for the fur seals pelt, and
all limitations can be speedily detected. Lon
don is the worlds great peltry market, and
at the annual sale of fur seal skins there in
December, 1905, the total available stock in
existence was shown to be only ffty-two thou
sand, which, as it takes four to make woman S
coat, means that only thirteen thousand of the
fair sex were able to secure such garments
last year.
1t is noteworthy circumstance in connec-
ton with the depletion of the Pacific fur seal
herds, that while this industry is now seriously
jeopardized as to its future. the Newfound-
land hair seal herds are as large and fecund as
ever, though they have been hunted unspar-
ingly for nearly two centuries, and the catch
for March and April, 1906. was the greatest in
forty years, totaling three hundred and fifty
thousand pelts. which, with the oil from the
skins, yielded those interested fully million
dollars.
1t seems strange that measures cannot be
adopted to preserve the fur seal herd in the
same fashion and make that industry as GER
t:4in a source of national wealth as New
foundland's.

a Freethought has enabled the socialist movement to

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Lexington papers reporting recent Sunday sermon
by local preacher quoted him preaching on "A
Partnership With God,' and saying:
''In forming this partnership, each partner must put
in something to give the firm working capital. Man
must bring himself All that he has. Man must put in
his heart his SOUL his mind his strength and all his pos
sessions aye, all that he hath God will put all else in
that may be necessary"
Although deeply impressed upon reading the
above at the gross inequality of the terms proposed,
could not help thinking that the end of the quotation
would have been excellent and busness-ke stopping
point for the purpose of taking up the usual collection
But what partnership propositions Who would be
willing to enter any business combine such termsY
One partner called upon to give up al that he hath"
while the other is permitted to in equal terms
by merely giving up what else may be necessary When
consider that the parson talks for himself and not for
god able understand the matter in vastly diff
ferent light.
Unfortunately for these gentlemen Of broadcoth and
white chokers have different views upon business
matters than they. Men know that parsons make it
their business talk for cash. and they also know that
cash hard to get out of any business to give it all
to the parsOn.
We fear the church must yet depend upon the widows
mites and children pennies.

OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST.

The recent financial depression has forced the Blade
into hard and desperate struggle but with returning
relief in industrial circles hope to recoup the losses
sustained While it may not be policy to take such
step, yet deem better to be honest with friends
that they make the necessary effort to sraghen out their
accounts with the Blade office. Casting policy to the
winds we wish to say that upon examination Of our
books find that less than ,127 subscribers
delinquent Some for two and three years. Many
for year. No matter what goes the Blade
is forced to meet its current expenses and with such
delinquency you may imagine what difficult time
having to keep up Could but so per cent of
what is owing to subscriptions alone could make
the Blade still better and give improved service from
week to week.
Subscribers may readily observe by the date given
their mailing tab whether they included in this delin
quent list not and the proper thing to do would be to
remit the amount indicated thereon.
We know, from experience, that the vast majority of
such arises from neglect and oversight For this
reason do not like to stop sending the paper. The
postal regulations will compel such unless
provision be made to pay up the deinquencies
Now friends, do not neglect this matter any longer.

of its friends would like to the Blade suffer
from such a cause.

PASS This AROUND
ELLIS HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE RHEb.
MATISM CURE AT HOME.
Prescription Given Which Sufferers o.
Dread Disease Can Easily Mako
Up and Try at Home a
Small Cost.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu.
matism. take teaspoonful Of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one. half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from any druggist in the
smaller towns, and are easily mixed by
shaking them well in bottle. Relief
Is generally felt from the first few
doses.
This prescription, states q we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the clogged-up, mac
tive kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma-
tisEa.
As Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gereus to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many suf-
ferers here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this relief.
II is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week, would never have serious Kidney
or Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly.

How cat language is unalterably con-
fused with his first Impressions of
France is a story told by one of
trio of far western Americans who
have arrived at the Hotel du Louvre
after doing Europe" for the first time.
The party is composed Of w. virges,
lumberman from Tacoma, and e. E.
Cooyert, a Portland (Ore.) attorney,
and his wife, who has been studying
operate singing In Dresden.

vert. 81 was asleep on the seat and a
French lady with a cat In a basket
got aboard and went asleep alongside
Suddenly the cat started to cry, and
waking up, l discovered was leaning
too close to the lady (probably mashins
the cat), and as she awoke, too, she
pulled out her ticket, waving 1t in my
face. AS l couldn't talk French, told

somebody came to explain 1 discovered

too much of the seat. Things like that
don't happen at home"
At Mayence Mr.. Virges says he
worked a unique scheme to see the
Kaiser during the maneuvers.
"Some one told me 1t would be al
most impossible to get close enough to
see him." said Mr.. Virges. "But l
went to the authorities and told them
l was a journalist from some Pacific
coast newspaper, and after 1 had Sc.
cured the necessary papers l went 10

out the papers and passed the police,
who saluted. took with me to a hotel
afterward two Philadelphians, and we
dined overlooking the boulevard where
the Kaiser was to pass. Almost lmme.

said Mr.. Coovert. II expected to SEE
a big ballet, but instead two or three
persons came out and sang until one
died. The curious thing was that wher
we left our hats coming In neither Of
US took any notice where. When W.
came out we could not find the sam,
cloakroom and neither of us coult
speak one word of French. We pre-
sented the ticket at four differen
