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.

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

meant, wo suppose, that Senator MtmpliT
wants to kexp under cover until tho freo-eilver

It is to the great shamoof Arkansas that
nobody puts any confidence in tho rolurns of

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.
I want you to remember that that ballot wos
not given to sou by nny man who employs you. That
ballot net given to you by law: you had 11 before ho
employed ou. It will bo sours after your employ,
nirntceases. You do not tell him that Ir hedoesnot

for him. Put vou have as much right to iell him tint
at he has to tell you that you will havo to quit work
ing for him It you do not vote at he wants j ou to."
Ilruan at CAtcaoo.
Rot! 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. Are there
fools among workingmen so hopeless that they
swallow HnvA.N's claptrap?

not be Inferred from this legend, however

it means that he is Irreverent or that he really

that he finds that "s" is a letter pecu

There are twenty eight Illshopi In Mexico, and In

were called forth on the occasion of the coronation

The Mexican people of all classes are. above all things,

To the Hob. John MeAuler Palmer, Na
tional llemoerntloNomlaee for tho Of.
nee of rrealdeat or tho Halted State.
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. It would
tako tho thousands of foreigners landing on
our shores nt least flvo years to read and wrlto
Intelligently in tho English language, and thus
prolong tho tlmo from tho Bteerngo to tho polls.
This chango In tho basis of suffrage should bo
mndo before tho dawn of tho twentloth century
for tho safety of tho republlo.
Tho Democratic party has as yot made no
declarations tn regard to tho enfranchisement
of woman; thus far it has maintained a pro
found nnd reverential silence It may bo that
tho gontlemen of thnt party reflect tho opinion
of tho great Roman General who said: "Tho
highest tribute you can pay Ciusar's wlfo Is
never to mention her namo."
Tho Republican party has had a few pusillan
imous planks in Its platforms, all sound, signi
fying nothing.
Should your recommendation to Congress
secure tho desired amendment It would enable
you to Issue a " Proclamation of Emancipation,"
giving political freedom to 35,000,000 of
women.
This act of iiiBtlco would givo you a proud
position on tho pago of history as the first Presi
dent of tho United Status who recognized tho
grand declarations of tho fathers, so long con
sidered more " glittering generalities." as tho
living principles of our Govornment. Ke
soectfully yours.

Kirst-lf the price of labor Is not advanced by free

the product of labor, be advanced by free coinage ?
Second-If under free coinage a silver dollar Is full
legal trndir. how can it bo north lcsthan 100 cents?
Or If It Is not full legal tender, how would a slHcr

1. The prices of manufactured articles, until
wages advanced, would advance only by as
much as the raw materials employed In making
them advanced, with tho addition of whatever
profit tho manufacturer dared to put on below
tho point nt which he would bo undersold by
foreign competitors. Haw materials would ad
vance at unco to the equivalent In silver of their
gold price in foreign markets. So would sugar,

"" You cnUcleau your rosorvolrs and streams

who, llko myself, havo been In tho water busi

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

"It Is all nonsense to sny." continued Mr.

There aro few places where tho pressure is less

ure it would bean impossibility for sewugo to

At tho meeting of tho Aldormeu yesterday
Alderman HoblnBon prcsonted a resolution pro
hlbltlng tho uso of tho Western boulevard by

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. Hint on and after Oct, 1,
