NOT A SURRENDER

The idea seems to have got abroad
that i'm the conclusion of the sealing con-
vention with Great Britain, Russia ana
Japan the United States surrendered a
claim TO ownership Of the seal herd
which it had not hitherto abandoned or
modified and which ii might have hoped
"a maintain. In an article entitled Sur
render Of Our Seal Fisheries The
New Orleans Picayune' said few days
ago:
1t is TO be regretted, however. that our
commemorative felt compelled TO practl-
cally admit that the jurisdiction we nav
hitherto exercised was unwarranted ana
that our claim that Boring Sea is mare
cIdusunl is not justified. This is now.
ever an age of yielding for the sake OF
neace. hence II is reasonable 10 assume
that the sealing agreement could not
have been avoided. If the net resuit
serves TO restore the fur seal 10 ms
former abundance there VIII De -
cause TO regret a claim when propapiS
resulted in few practical pronls.
The suggestion is thus made that the
mare clausunt claim Of the United states
,cas never tested and found Vulnerable ID
i,.,ernstional law. THE P1cayune lg-
nores the important fact that TINS couh-
try consented in 1892 to arbitrate that
Issue with Great Britain, representing
Canada. and that the tribunal. WHICH
mot in Paris in 1893. decided that Boring
Sea was a part Of the high seas anu
that the seals were fer6 nature ana
m nations exclusive property. Although
that conclusion upset the theory on which
rho Tinted States had acted In trying 10
stamp out poaching, it must be admitted
that from the international point OF view
it is not hard to justify.
Although dismissing this countrys
claim Of absolute prOprietorship III the
seal herd. the tribunal in true spirit
If international comfy recognized the
equity Of the American contention that
the seals ought not TO be ruthlessly de
etroved on their way to and from the
rookeries, and framed regulations, to De
enforced by the United States and Grea.
Britain. restricting open sea killing
These regulations proved ineffective, ap'
nlying. as they did, only TO Canadian
poachers, and the United States there
fore set about enlarging the scope OF the
anti-poaching agreement by obtaining
the cooperation of Russia and Japan
and conceding a fair share OF the rock
cry catch to all the nations of the North
Pacific as a compensation for the abso'
lutte prohibition of pelagic sealing
The bargain made was practical one
and advantageous to all concerned, since
each country had everything to lose ana
nothing to gain by continuation OF the
reckless slaughter which had almost ex'
terminated the seal herd. A source OF
natural wealth will now be preserved for
the benefit Of all the signatories to the
agreement, whereas continuation OF
the policy of non-co-operation would soon
have left no wealth to quarrel about
The United States did not surrender a
right" of any value to itself. 1t merely
found way to protect and replenish III
own resources, while guaranteeing other
nations a fair division Of the proceeds Of

CANADA'S EMPIRE BUILDER.

Lord Strathcona's retirement marks
an epoch in Canadian history. Perhaps
we should say that 1t marks the ending
or an era which includes the entire mod
ern history Of Canada, and, Of course,
the entire history of the Dominion as
such. To appreciate this we have merely
to remember that Donald Alexander
Smith was born ninety-one years ago /;
that he entered the service of the Hud-
sons Bay Company at about the time
that Victoria became Queen Of England
and was its last resident governor before
its governmental functions were sur
rendered to the Dominion that he was Z
special commissioner in the first rebel
lion Of Louis Riel, and that he was the
creator Of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
IT. such a career there Is much TO inspire
the ina gination, and in the spectacle OF
man after so many years and labors
still fulfilling his most arduous functions
with undated ability there is an IRE
sistible appeal TO admiration.
1t is as railroad builder, perhaps, that
, his hold Is strongest on contemporary
gratitude in the Dominion and that his
services have been most significant. We
may grant to Sir John Macdonald the
first exploitation of the vision Of rail-
way linking Quebec with Vancouver, but
It remained vision until Donald Smith
transmitted it into terms Of gold and
steel. Just as little earlier men said
that the Suez Canal could never pay
operating expenses, so they said that the
Canadian Pacific Railroad would never
pay for its fuel and axle grease. What
Lesseps did in the one case Smith did
in the other, with similar success. The
meaning Of that achievement to Canada,
to the British Empire, and incidentally
tc the United States, could not easily
be exaggerated Some men are now idly
talking about the Characterization" Of
Western Canada. There would have
been occasion to talk Of it II that rail-
road had not been built and Manitoba
had not been developed generation ago
as link between East and West.
1t is fitting that this great empire
builder has spent the last fifteen years
Of his public career as High Commits
sioner for the Dominion Of which he was
more than any other, save perhaps one
OF two, the creator. In that capacity
he has manifested the true imperial
spirit seeking the development Of Can
ada as permanently integral part of
the empire, striving to lead the United
Kingdom to a realization Of the oppor-
tunities and responsibilities of its i'm.
perial hegemony, and endeavoring to
make the relations Of the Dominion with
its southern neighbor and with all IA
tons amicable and. reciprOcally profit
able, and-above adjust and honora BILE
His has been a great career. and in Its
Transformation from aggressive activity
to the Otium cum di0nitate Of an Elder
Statesman" it commands the admiring
congratulations Of the whole world.

4 UERITED REBUKE.

The judgment Of the Lord Chief JUS
tice Of England and his two associates
upon the lawyer who defended Crippen,
the murderer, is to be commended for
thoughtful consideration In this country,
for the abuses OF which ii constitutes a
scathng rebuke are VIGOROUSLY preva-
lent here. The man Is held to have been
guilty Of conducting his clients case
with other views than those OF defence,
a practice, as the court declared. abso-
lutely inconsistent with public advantage.
For this offence the Law Society asked
the permanent disbarment or the cul-
prit. The judges, however, limited the
period Of disbarment TO year.
The details Of the offence are desery-
ing of especial note. The case was In
trinsically Sensational" involving the
elements of mystery, audacity and pru-
rtence. Certain newspapers, therefore,
saw In 1t an opportunity OF exploiting
themselves and increasing their circula-
ton. They subscribed literally to the
costs Of the defence, just as they would
have paid for advertising themselves In
any other way, and they directed the
lawyer whom they employed To conduct
the case In the way which, regardless
Of the interests Of the prisoner or the
ends Of justice, would produce the
largest quantity and most sensational
kind Of copy" Nor did the process stop
with the prisoners conviction, or even
with his death. During his last days the
wretched man was repeatedly tortured
with attempts to wiring from him a con-
fashion. attempts made By his OWN law

4 SUBTERFG GE.

Ex-senator Joseph NJ Terrell, of
Georgia. is quite right in declining 10
mill senator Hoke Smiths chestnuts out
Of the fire by posing at Washington as
tho latter's extra-legal substitute. MT
Smith wants to escape criticism TOT at
tempting to hold two offices at the same
time. He desires TO remain Governor
until next December in order to reor-
panize the state machine, which has been
for two years past in the hands or MS
rival. Little Joe" Brown. Meanwhile
II would greatly suit his convenience 10
be represented by chair warmer IN
the United States Senate.
Ex-senator Terrell properly maintains
that the title under which he held ofhce
has been extinguished. He was APP
nointed to serve al interim unul the
Legislature could elect a successor 70
Alexander S. Clay, who died last NO
yember. The Legislature has now maze
an election and the temporary commits
sion issued to Mr.. Terrell has been au-
tomatically cancelled. The language OF
the Constitution is clear enough. III
says that IF vacancies happen by reslg-
"nation or otherwise during the recess OF
"the Legislature Of any state, the exec
"ntiye thereof may make temporary APP
"nointments until the next meeting OF
"the Legislature, which shall then Dill
"s,Ich vacancies" The Senate has held
that the term Of an dd interim appointee
does not necessarily expire on the DAY
the Legislature meets. Congress mas
reoulated the election OF Senators so
that a choice cannot be legally made I'M
I'll the second Tuesday after the Legs
lature assemblies. Further delays may
also occur when no candidate is able 10
rouster q majority in the joint assembly,
and the Senate has therefore construed
the constitutional provision as permit
ting a temporary appointee to hold Office
until his successor is chosen or until the
Lev1slature adjourns without making a
choice. But II a choice is made 1t Is
fantastic TO contend that that action
does not extinguish the title OF the In
cumbent.
MFR. Smith is within his rights in de-
ferring qualification as long as he sees
ct 10 do 80. But II he remains away
from Washington no one else can occupy
his seat. His term does not begin from
the day on which he qualities, but IL

clared elected His anxiety to avoid
