Tlio Pfuslng of tho Fur Seal. The report brought back from Ounnlnskn by Mr, C. H. Townsend of tho Fish Com mission confirms that which returning ves sels had already mode as to the great falling oil In the l'rlbylov seal herd this year. What Is more important, Mr. Town bend says that Dr. JoitUAN, tho leader of tho Behrlng Sea Mixed Commission, com posed of expert obsorvers sent out by tho British and Dominion Governments and by our own, traces this decrcaso directly to pelagic scaling. But it yet remains to bo seen whether ho expresses the opinion and forecasts tho report of tho Mixed Com mission as a whole. If he does, tho shattered remnant of tho onco enormous nnd increasing herd may yot bo saved from com pie to extermination by tardy restrictions on ocean huntlug such ns our Government has hitherto been pleading for In vain. If not, tho disposition of tlio British nnd Canadian representatives to sacrifice- the herd to tho Immediate Interests of tho Victoria Bealers will bo so manifest that Congress ought to havo no hesitation In passing next winter tho Dinqlky bill for clthor saving tho Alaska fur seal or promptly closing tho whole business, so that tho pro visions of the bill may bo put into opera tion for the coming year. Tho figures now put before us by Mr. Townsend indicate that tho polagic catch In Behrlng Sea will not exceed DO.000 seals this season, although thero havo been about seventy vessels at work there. Last year about a third more seols were captured by only fifty-seven vessels. The season has been unfavorable In temperature, but the real reasou for tho falling off seems unquestionably to bo tho ravages that havo already occurred under tho Paris rules. Tho Dominion sealers nro not so much to blame ns the British and Dominion Govern ments, slnco each owner of n vessel wants to get ns many seals ns possible until tho harvest is over. Yet they aro furnishing a modern instance of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Tlio Itcvolt in the Philippines. While tho uprising in Spain's Pacific col ony is of minor consequence compared with the great insurrection in Cuba, yet it cannot be called trivial. The official acknowledg ment that the rebels are so strongly posted that it would be imprudent to nttack them before the arrival of reenforcements, is sig nificant, and now we bearof their capturing tho Goenor of San Isidor, in the large and Important island of Luzon. Tho Captain-General at Manila commands nlso tho Caroline nnd Marianne islands, but these require many troops, nnd his effective strength is put down by our military authorities as 8(3.1 officers and lii.SSS men. Since this aggregate of over SJO.OOO men, lessened by the small deductions for the two other groups, Is apparently notable, unaided, to restore order in tho Philippines, we must infer that tho insurrection is formidable. The archipelago is extensive, stretching through a distance of perhaps 300 miles; nnd although hardly a third of its islands are inhabited, or perhaps -100 of them, yet the-e include some in which the tribes seem to be practically independent. It is true that tho present uprising ap pears to bo concentrated, the chief strong hold of the rebels being in Cavite; but for that reason the wider spread of the insur rection through a group which has millions of people would become very serious. Spain has used the Philippines much ns she has used Cuba, as a sheer source of reve nue for herself. More than a century ago she made a Government monopoly of tho tobacco crop, which is a leading product, and by laws requiring tho districts to fur nish certain quantities of the leaf, prac tically compelled tho inhabitant to devote himself to that at the Government's arbi trary price for the leaf. Capitation taxes, too, are levied on tho natives as well as on European residents, though on the former they are less heavy. The revolt in tlio Philippines Is incom parably less well fltt"d out than tho Cuban in numbers, organization, nnd resources, but the islands aro at n greater distance from Spain, and will divert forces that she needs desperately elsewhere. A Yalo Judgo on tho Jury System. Tho United States District Judge for tho District of Connecticut, Prof. W. K. TOWNSEND of the Yale Law School, dis cusses iu the current number of tho Forum some proposed chnngns In tho methods of trying cases In tho Federal courts. Theso changes are Intended to lessen tho powers of the Judge in jury trials. In many of the Southern nnd Western States the Judge is required by law to givo his instructions to the jury only in writing, and to confine those instructions to legal propositions with out commenting on the facts of the case. In New York nnd iu most of tho Eastern States, ns well ns iu tho Federal courts throughout the Union, tho Judge is allowed greater latitude, and, as in England, may aid tho jury by such reference to tlio evi dence and such comments upon it ns will lead to a dlctinct comprehension of tho questions at issue, and tlio bearing of tho testimony which lias been adduced In the course of the trial, The hitter method of proceeding gives tlio most satisfactory results iu tho opinion of Judge Townsend, who says: " The practice In those courts where tho Judge may atsltt tn thu examlnat'on of vt Itnesses, nlrect t erdlcts, frame special uestlons, comment upon thu e Idcucn, and In certain cases and under special limitations ex. press hit opinion upon tho disputed facts, provided that the statement of such opinion It advisory only, and not put In the form of a direction u-t a matter of law, seems to furnish tho best posslblo solution nrtho problem of the preservation of the svitom and the attainment of Juttlce. I " It It Impracticable to formulate In ndrance nny rule of general application as to tho cxttuttuwhloh Judget should comment upon evidence. Sltich mutt be left to Judicial dlscretlou. When It Is rxceeded the remedy may ho applied by the appellate court, Hut a hard and fajt rule, such as Is suggestel In the pro posed act of Congress, forbidding an expression of opinion In any case, could hardly fall tu sometimes I hi absolutely subversive of justice. The varied and cou stantlyohanglugcoudttlonsnf causes counil, ourt, and Jury require such elasticity or pra-llce, such re ciprocal aids and checks, undsuchrdapMhlllty of pro cedure as cannot be provided for by the rUld bounds of statutory enactments If the Jury mhIimii l in contluuetu find funr, It mntt htep pucu ultli the d, velopininioftn'lrljraiiil hiionapled in tlie exigencies of p&rtlcular casrt. It must lw free from the tram. mclBot legislation." A similar view was expressed In mi itblo paper on tho jury system, written sumo years ago by Judge Hi:nky 11, HiniMV of tlio United States District Court at Detroit, now an Associate Justice of the Supremo Court of tho United Stntcs. Tho continued efficiency of trial by jury, in ills estimation, must depend largely upon coiiti'iuitig thu power of the presiding Judge fairly and wisely to direct he attention uf the jtirow to thoso considerations arising upon tho uvl i dpneo, wltlctt should rotund nin i'i thoir t deliberations and determination. Deprived of this power, tbo Judgo become! only an instrument for preserving order nnd a reader of abstract propositions of law, while tho Jury nro without that assistance which always materially helps them to a Just conclusion, while It need not Influ cuco them In tho least In tho cxerclso of their own distinctive function of passing upon the questions of fact in tho caso. We agree with Judgo Townsend, there fore, In opposing nny legislative limitation upon tho action of Judges presiding ovor jury trials. Ho suggests, moreover, nn In teresting question ns to tho constitutional power thus to limit tho functions of tho Judiciary, saying: It there net Involved In too conitttutlonal right of trial by Jury tho right to such trial substantially as It existed at commou law? And does not tuch guar antee extend equally to tho powers of the Judgo? If this be to, It would not be competent for the legisla tive authority to to abridge hit powerl at to deny him the common law right to advlto the Jury at to the evi dence and to comment or express hit opinion on the facta." As to this suggestion, it should bo remem bered that tho great purposo of tbo consti tutional guaranteoof the right of trlnl by jury is to keep tho power of deciding questions of fact In common-law cases in tho nanus of tno oid-rashloned common law tribunal of twelve men; so that It may well bo doubted whether tho constitutional right of trial by jury in American juris prudence has really any roferonco to tho couduct of the Judgo. Tho London National Ilevlow on Ar bitration. Wo havo pointed out on sovernl occasions that Americans who desiro to learn, not tho opinions of powerless minorities, but tho views of influential Englishmen belonging to tho dominant Unionist party, would do well to read the leading nrticlo. entitled "Episodes of tho Month," in tho London A'dtfoiuil licvlcw. Especially interesting nro tho comments mndo by tho author of this orticlo in tho September number on tho permanent international tribunal of arbi tration, which it has been proposed to estab lish by treaty between tho United States and Great Britain. Approval Is expressed of the objections to such a tribunal suggested by Lord ixUssell In his address delivered nt Albany before tho American Bar Association. Lord Rus 8ELI. signified, it will bo remembered, his personal preference for a tribunal tl hoc, which mlglit bo ngrcod upon as each ques tion arose. He was apprehensive, he said, that the judges constituting a permanent tribunal would not long command public confidence, owing to the enormous Interests Involved in their decisions, and the passions excited by them. In his opinion it was also to be feared that, if thero weroastaudlug court of nations, there would bo a strong temptation to put forward unfounded claims. Ho was inclined, finally, to think that in delicate questions neutral mediation would be a more suitable instrument for preserving peace than would arbitration. While sharing these misgivings, tho writer of " Episodes of the Month " recog nizes that the mainteunncoof peace Iwtwcen the great English-speaking nations isa mat ter of such transcendent moment that, in splta of the incidental risks, tho experiment of permanent arbitration should bo tried, provided thero is a deep, widespread, and fervent desiro for it in tho United States. But where, he asks, shall one look for the evidences of sucli a desire ? Not, as ho per ceives, among the New England college pro fessors nnd half-do7en Anglophil journals who, whenever a dispute arises, tako for granted tlint England must bo right nnd their own country wrong. Such persons are not only viewed by sagacious Englishmen with good-natured contempt, but positively disliked ns mislead ing. Tho information wanted by sensible men in Loudon is information touching tho wishes and convictions of the great body of the American people, which wishes and con victions are certain to be reflected in tho Federal legislature, which Is the war making power. There is but one wny of obtaining in advance such information, which is, of course, indispensable to Eng lish statesmen, nnd that is to examine care fully thoso American newspapers which, whenever International questions like thoso affecting Han-ail and Venezueln come to the front, have been found to announce with unerring accuracy the feelings nnd opinions of the great mass of American citizens. Adopting this courso. tho National Re viewer has been unable to discover nny proofs of a desire for a tribunal of pormnnent arbitration on the part of tho great body of our people. Ho has learned that tho cry for permanent nrbitratlon proceeds from an in significant minority, composed of tlio very men who at first denounced Mr. OLNEY for demanding that tho .Venezuelan boundary dispute should bo referred to arbitrators, and who insisted that a special sanctity at tached to tho bogus Schomburgk line. When that line was abandoned by Lord SALIsnuilY himself, this handful of Anglophils still protested that, in order to induce Great Britain to perform nn net of jiiftico to n weak South American republic by submit ting the whole of tint debatable land to arbi tration, we ought to bind ourselves to refer nil future controversies in which we should bo directly interested to n similar tribunal. Tho Venezuela question is ono tlint di rectly concerns only Venezuela and Great Britain. Our solo connection with it is that the Monroe doctrine binds us not to seo in justice done to nny of the republics on this contlnont by any foreign power; nnd to this end wo havo declared that not by violence but by arbitration should tho boundary dispute bo settled. Iu that dis pute we do not flguro ns ono of tho princi pal parties, but simply ns tlio next friend of one of tlio contestants. When wo havo a controversy of our own with Great Britain thero will bo time enough, as Lord Rl'ssEU, and tho National Reviewer practically con cur with Thk Spn iu thinking, to consider tlie expediency of referring the matter to a tribunal specially organized for tho occasion. "I do not think," remnrked Mr. Bur AH ome Unys wro, "thnt It Is Rolnif to require a treat ileal of talk la tills campaign." Where upon ho continued to talk with more tl.nn ills usual volume and apparently to his ureut satis faction, la lie talking for some other campaign or fur posterity, or In uncoiilrollsblorosponso to Ills imperious s earning for talk ?

Ha deserve! to be turned ont of office. Tho editors would probably havo driven him ont If ho had not got tho advantage of them by suppressing their papers. The Troy Prett, which presumnbly spoke by authority, says tbftt Senator Mimmv's health has somewhat Improved, but it Is not In a condition that will enable htm to engage actively In tho pending campaign. "Accord ingly, he will not attend the Daffalo Conven tion, or attempt to direct its action." Tliat meant, wo suppose, that Senator MtmpliT wants to kexp under cover until tho freo-eilver storm Is over: but, however Itmavbewlth his physical health, his political health will bo In desporato condition becaute of his skulking whllo the battle for honesty Is waging. How blind snch a man can bo! It is to the great shamoof Arkansas that nobody puts any confidence in tho rolurns of latt Monday's election as expressive of the real eentlraont of the citizens of the State. Its repu tation for dishonesty In counting la deplorable Ino honest man will unjustly crltlclto tho management c.f the office of the Interior during the Hon. lloxi: Svirn's administration of IU Aoifh tlorldadtlztn. Of coarse, no honest man will criticise any body or anything unjustly. Neither will an honest man go stumping through a Stato In advocacy of vlows which he proclaims as his steadfast convictions, and a few months after ward proceed to eat his own words by support ing directly contrary doctrine, which bo had denounced ns vicious and dangerous. The Hon. Hoke Smith, as a pretended gold man, who is advocating the election of a silver candidate on a silver platform, is thoroughly dishonest and unfit for any office of trust.

A man has a right to omploy whom he pleases, and the employee to work for whom ho pleases: and, of course, both can and do vote as they please. But If tho employee pleases to vote for Hiiyan, nnd IliiVAN Is elected, it will not bo necessary for him to throw up his Job because his employer Is not also for cheap money and repudiation. The chances aro thai for a long period thero will be no employment obtalnubleby him an) where; nnd the certainty Is that for years to come v, ages will be reduced by a half, for tho reduction of their purchasing power by a half amounts to that.

Tho motto which Col. Pat Don an Is now whispering until the air gets black In tho fooo is " Sliver and salvation." It should not be Inferred from this legend, however closely it is Dinned upon the Colonel's lips, that it means that he is Irreverent or that he really regards silver as entitled to rank with salva tion, financial, moral, or mental. Tho fact Is that he finds that "s" is a letter pecu liarly fitted to bit ttylo of elocution: and when he hat yoked two a's together he is the hnpplest man la hearing. Yet, to prevent misunderstanding, would tt not be woll fur him to amend his motto by substituting for "sal vation" eomo harmless necessary word like "soap." or "slump."

IIoNonKii 8m: Should you bo chosen for our next President I trust that In your Inaugural address you will mako sotno mention of tho thirty-five millions of cltliens In this boasted republlo that aro wholly unrepresented. In vio lation of ovory principle of our Government. Among them are a class of educated, law-abiding citizens, who contribute large sums In the wny of taxes annually to tho national Treasury and cxerclso a beneficent Influence on society In general. In tho namo of tho largo class I ropresent I urgo you to recommend Congress to pans a sixteenth amendment to tho national Constitu tion forbidding tho severnl States to make box a qualification for tho exercise of tho right of suffrage. Tho qualification wo do need Is one of educa tion, compelling all who vote to rend and wrlto tho English language Intelligently without distinction of box, color, or nationality. This would bo a measure of safety against foreign Ignorance and uatlvo indlfforonce, and In no way conflict with our cherished theory of universal suffrage, as tt is n qualification easily attainable by all oarnatlvo citizens.

Tho Hot Weather Bald o Be Iteanonalhle for th Trouble. Since thoftusblusof themalnsbeganln Brook lyn thora has been a slight Improvement in the condition of the water. Just what tho troublo with the water Is will not be definitely known until tho chomltts who are making nn nnnlysis submit their report. Deputy Water Purveyor D eeker made this statement yesterdny t ' We always flush tho mains. It mny do some good, but tho troublo Is uot wholly there, If It be thoro at all.

I do not think thero fs "" You cnUcleau your rosorvolrs and streams now. and next yenr tho chances nro they win be m bad as over.. That Is the experience of men who, llko myself, havo been In tho water busi ness for thirty years. In Denver, where the supply Is tho best In America, they huo tho greatest difficulty In keeping egetallon out of the water. I attribute tho bad water we havo had mostly to tho Intenso heat wo had a few woeks ago. Such a heat causes the vegetation In the sources of supply to decay quickly, anil a bad taste, a bad color, and a bad smell are tho results. In tho West we used to be troubled greatly In tho summer tlmo with tho water sup ply, tho rosults being prcclsolr sit satno th"? aro here. , ., "It Is all nonsense to sny." continued Mr. Docker, "that thesewago in houses has any thing to do with the condition or thu water. There aro few places where tho pressure is less than flvo or ten pounds, and with such a press ure it would bean impossibility for sewugo to get mixed up with the water. , ith coolor weather, however, tho water will visibly im prove. As for tho mains, I cnn nnlr say that f thero is any vegetation In them tho fact of their being closed up does not Imnrnvo tho wntcr; rather makes matters worse.

At tho meeting of tho Aldormeu yesterday Alderman HoblnBon prcsonted a resolution pro hlbltlng tho uso of tho Western boulevard by tracks and business wagons. Tho resolution was Introduced as tho result of the protests made by bicyclists who frequent tho lloulovnrd and who allego that tho heavy trucking has not only destroyed tho thoroughfare but that the great wagon traffic Is a menace to the lives of the wheelmen. Tho resolution was referred to the Commltteo on Streets. It Is ns follows: IVhtrcar. Tho heavy traffic up and down tho Boulevard, on tho nest sldo of tho city, is a tourco of annoyance to tho residents of that thoroughfare and danger to drivers of light wacons and riders of bicycles: and, H'nritviA. The Western lloulovnrd is tho only thoroughfare for the bicyclists and tho drivers of light wagons on thowestsldeof tho city: nnd, iririru.i. it is known thnt drivers of heavy vehicles inl-o pleasure In running Into blcjclo riders, with the object of annoying them, and frequently causing serious accidents; nnd. II hrrras. Tho public nnd the prees of this city demand tlio restriction of sumo thoroughfare on tho wet slJoof the city for the use of driver of light wagons and blocllsls; therefore, be it ifrsnlt'rd, .section 1.
