SELLING THE SEALSKINS

y new era is perhaps indicated IN
the sealsllin trade by the sale Of seal
skins which is to be had in st. Loui,
next December. Heretofore the seal
skins have all been sent TO London
where they arc dressed and prepared
for shipment as called for. But now TO,
the first time the allowed Alaska sea
catch will be disposed Of through an
American house, as per order Of Secre
tarY Redfcld of the Department OF
Commerce
This result is claimed to be bocaus,
of the treaty entered into between the
United States, Russia, Japan, and Great
Britain, prohibiting pelagic sealing:
that is, the hunting Of the seal herd in
the open sea in its swing to the south
and its return migration north. This
pelagic sealing was the greatest factor
IN the destruction of the seal herd
since it is impossible in that form of
sealing TO distinguish the male from the
female. and as the females outnumber
the males from ten TO twenty to one,
it is evident that the most of the
pelacic sealing was the killing Of the
female seals.
The treaty referred to made a close
season OF five years, of which three
years yet remain. But seals may be
killed by the natives of the sea herd

kill what is known as the bachelor
seals, and the skins from these are
the ones which will bc offered for sale
in ST. Louis en- December 10th.
The Importance of this event VIII. of
course, be determined largely by its
continuance. IL the sales arc ordered
in st, Louis hereafter, as this year,
the likelihood is that the great seal
market OF the world may he transferred
to that city, and il this shall be a re
suit of that sealing treaty, the United
States viii have reason to congratu-
late itself thereon, 1t will be n chap
ter in the history Of American com
mercc which will mean complete
change in the seal trade, and all rclat-
ing thereto. This transfer will include
also the subsidiary industries of clean
ing and dyoing. which will give work
to thousands of people, and once estab.
lished, the interests involved viii be a
powerful factor in retaining the trade

A PRACTICAL REMEDY.

The case of Thaw has drawn out an
immense amount of discussion in this
country, and also in Europe. The
mass Of most Of that discussion, how
ever, has not been helpful, but it has
developed one suggestion that certain
ly would be helpful in that and every
other like case, As it is now, when a
sponsible through his insanity, YER
dict OF acquittal is rendered. The sug.
gestion which we refer 10 is that the
form Of verdict should be changed:
that when an insane person is found to
have committed a murder, the jury find
him guilty, but irresponsible because of
his insanity, and that the sentence
should be incarceration. as in the Thaw
case
This surely seems TO be both a sensi-
BILE and A. practical proposition. There
is, in fact, no propriety in finding an
insane criminal "not guilty. when in
fact he has committed the crime The
form should be as indicated, that he is
in fact guilty, but that he was ire
sponsible because of his insanity. But
still, as he is an insane person with
criminal tendencies, the protection of
society requires that he should be shut
up and held so that he will not be able
to indulge in his homicidal tendencies
Under such n rule as that, If crimi-
nal escapes from the Matteawan Asy-
lum, as Thaw did, he could be recov-
cred as convicted felon, and properly
so. Then he would be returned to his
confinement. and without any possibil-
ity Of such frantic and prolonged re-
sistance as Thaw has made.
The return Of an escaped man who
has not been pronounced guilty of
crime. as in the Thaw case, is, of course,
complicated matter. But if Thaw, or
anybody in like case, had been duly
convicted. found guilty Of homicide
and shut up by reason OF his irresponsi
bility. the conviction would brand him
felon, and he would be subject TO i'm.
mediate return as other felons are re-
turned, without any foundation for
such contest as Thaw has made.
1t will well befit the different States
OF the Union TO take notice Of the
Thaw case accordingly, and amend
their statutes so that the homicidaIlv
insane shall be so put within the power
OF the State that they will not have the

as uncouvicted irresponsiblcs. found
''not guilty" of any crime Tho lesson
OF the Thaw case should not be lost up
on the States. but all should unite and
change tho form of verdict IN such
cases as indicated in tho suggestion
which we have herein quoted, whore
the jury finds tho accused to be in-
sane. No actual injustice could pos
sibly be done TO any individual by the
change stated, and the State would be
put in an immensely stronger position
than it is now with respect to the re
covery Of fugitive in such cases.

The Filiplnos constantly INSIST that

Legislative Council Of the Philippines
have recently passed laws for the apo-

The situation appears to be like this:
The Fiipinos claim that there is no

In regard to the origin of the Russian

this bit of history: In an article
promulgated by the state agricultural
college and printed in this paper a few
days ago the history Of the Russian
thistle was the topic. a pest born in
South Dakota and permitted to spread
over the northwest. The article states
that the seed of the thistle was brought
into the country from Russia in some
aax seed that was was planted near
Scotland. which is an error. The first
Russian thistle growth appeared along
the levee in Yankton. where Russian
immigrants unloaded their effects from
the cars. and along the road " which
the immigrants travelled when going to
their nearby claims.
