A perusal of the Instructions sent by
Secretary Sherman to Ambassador Hay
In reference to England's treatment of
the sealing problem suggests, that when
the London Globe becomes so excited
as to want Lord Salisbury to give our
Ambassador his passports, It must be
because the shoo fits.
The subject Is one naturally difficult
of comprehension by landsmen and
tnnde'up latgely of scientific terms and
testimony; but the gist of Secretary
Sherman's letter Is that Great Hrltaln
throughout the negotiations over the
fur seals has acted toward us In an un
friendly manner, and has almost with
out interruption manifested bad faith.
Under the terms of the award of the
iarts tribunal each of the four powers
Interested In seal fishing namely, Rus
sia," France, 'England and the United
States was to supply an equal part of
the ship patrol which was to police the
scaling waters; but while the United
States sent twelve ships to perform this
duty England sent but one. In the col
lection of Information for the protec
tion of this disappearing Industry Sec
retary Sherman shows that the British
agents have uniformly sought to dis
tort the truth and belittle the peril.
Finally, when the United States- made
overture for a modus Vivendi for the
suspension of all killing of seals during
the present season and for a Joint con
ference of the Interested powers to devls
more effectual measures for the pres
ervation of the fur seal, England's re
sponse was a curt refusal, seemingly
for no other purpose than to snub this
government.
Secretary Sherman well, though
somewhat pointedly says: "The obli
gations of an International award,
which are equally Imposed on both par
ties to its terms, cannot properly be
assumed or laid aside by one of the
parties only at Its pleasure. Such an
award which In Its practical operation
Is binding only on one party In Its obli
gations and burdens, and to be enjoyed
mainly by the other party In Its bene
fits, is an award which, In the Interest
of public morality and good conscience,
should not be maintained. Having In
view the expressed object of the arbi
tration at Paris, and the declared pur
pose of the arbitrators In prescribing
the regulations, when It became appar
ent, as It did after the Jlrst year's op
eration of them, and with Increased em
phasis each succeeding year, that the
regulations were Inadequate for the
purpose, It was the plain duty of the
British government to acquiesce In the
request of that of the United States for
a conference to determine what further
. measures were necessary to secure the
end in view by the arbitration. A course
so persistently followed for the past
three years has practically accom
plished the commercial extermination
of the fur seals, and brought to naught
the patient labors and well-meant con
clusions of the tribunal of arbitration.
Upon Great Britain must therefore rest,
In the public conscience of mankind,
the responsibility for the embarrass
ment In the relations of the two na
tions which must result from such con
duct." It having been Incontrovertible dem
onstrated that the practice of pelagic
sealing, If continued, "will not only
bring Itself to an end but will work the
destruction of a great Interest of a
friendly nation," Secretary Sherman
has "felt assured her majesty's govern
ment would eventually desist from an
act so suicidal and so unnelghborly,"
and consequently renews the request
for a conference of the Interested pow
ers. But If the premier of England,
adopting the spirit of the London Globe,
wishes to refuse to participate In such
a conference, and cares to take the con
sequences of such a deliberate act of
unfriendliness, the Inference from Am
bassador Hay's note of Instructions Is
that the government at Washington
will in such a contingency take ude
quate steps to care for Its own. That
s the way and the only effective way to
deal with Great Britain. Cleveland
proved It In the Venezuelan episode,
nd wo doubt not that history will soon
have occasion to repeat tho chronicle
Df Lord Salisbury's surrender.
In the case of Cecil Rhodes the ver
3lct of tho Jury appears to be turned
uound into: "Guilty, but do it again."
As to Telegraph Tolls.
Wo have received from tho Times
Democrat of New Orleans an Invita
tion to join that paper in an agitation
for tho resumption by the federal gov
irnment of tho control of the telegraph.
The reasons It nsslgrs for desiring such
ictlon Include the Improvement of tho
lervlce nnd the cheapening of tho
:harges. It alleges that in its section
,he service of tho Western Union Is un
wtlsfactory, ofllces In tho smaller
:owns closing at sunset with no Incll
intlon to hold open for lato news, even
when of national Importancea condl-
llon which government control would
In Its Judgment remedy. On the sub
Jcct of tolls It says:
"Tin cost of poles, wire, the wages
of employes have been' cut down nnd
tho service costs not over GO per cent,
of what It cost In 1837, yet tolls today
are na high as they ver then. Every
other article of consumption, food,
clothing, fuel, etc., has fallen In price.
The decline has been specially marked
In all lines of Journalistic, expenditure.
Taper coats only a fraction of what It
did In 1887; composition and typo set
ting have been cut down one-half or
two-thirds and the reduction In: tho cost
of publishing has been so great that
the papers have either reduced their
t-lo pr Increased thu fUo of their edl-
tlons. The telegraph alono hns mada no
reduction In suit of tho fact that It
hofl profited mere than any other lino
of service, In the decline In tho cost
of the materials used "by It, the wngea
paid Its employes nnd the great Im
provement made In all electric nnd tele
graphic machinery and Imptemcntn,
which enables It to send oft ten words
now with the same effort nnd cost It re
quired to rend off one a few years ago.
Specials have cllhsr become an expen
sive luxury or tho tolls have deterred
the newspapers from getting much
telegraphic matter they would other
wise take."
Tho foregoing unquestionably con
tains some mewsuro of truth. As a
business moposltlon It would seem to
be reasonable that a reduction In tho
tolls charged to newspapers would In
duce a sufllclently enlarged use of the
telegraph In news collection to more
than compensate. Wo have no doubt
that such reduction must sooner or
later come; especially In view of tho
growing competition of the telephone.
But our experience with the Western
Union company, and for that matter
also with the Postal, has not par
alleled the New Orleans papcrift In tho
matter of n disposition to be accom
modating. Wo take pleasure In saying
that the service of these two companies
In this part of tho country Is upon the
whole qulto satisfactory. In offices
where the routine btislnsss Is insuffic
ient to warrant the employment of op
erators later thnn 7 or S p. m., wo have
always found the companies entirely
willing to await late news when re
.ItiPhted to, or to transmit It by ppcclal
effort In emergencies. On this score,
therefore, wo have no reason to concur
In our contemporary's complaint.
That government control of tho tele
graphs would eventually operate to the
public's advantage may be true; but
In the meantime n cheapening of tho
charges would remove the principal ar
gument for such a, policy.
The Detroit Cuban plank Is good as
far as It goes, but It halts at the brink.
In one breath It says Spain Is unfit to
govern Cuba and In the next It urges
the president to shove Spain out, gent
ly. What If Spain shouldn't feel dis
posed to yield to gentleness?
"The Aote and the Beam."
Tho attack upon General Lee In a
Havana pnper In which Spain's treat
ment of Dr. Ruiz is contrasted with
the lynciilngs that occur In the United
States Is significant chiefly as show
ing a purpose on the part of Spain to
evade the real Issue. Nowhere are
lynchlngs more strongly condemned
than in the United States and by no
persons more emphatically than by
those who occupy positions of author
ity In thv United State.-, but we have
heard of no public outcry or official
regret In Spain at the murder of Ruiz.
The only official action with which we
are acquainted is that of the Spanish
commissioner who Investigated tho
case in company with Mr. Calhoun,
and ho simply tries to Ignore the es
tablished facts. When a foreigner Is
murdered In the United States under
circumstances pointing to tho neglect
of state or federal authorities to pre
serve order, we promptly offer indem
nification; Spain by her own admis
sions broke treaty stipulations with us
in the Ruiz case and now Is doing her
best to avoid being brought to book
therefor.
Somewhat interesting In this connec
tion is a pamphlet Just received at this
ortico from nn unknown but evidently
Spanish source, entitled "The Mote
and the Beam," Its endeavor being to
piove that the American people are not
so securely domiciled in righteousness
that they can nfford to throw stones at
Spain. The argument takes the form
of an Interchange of correspondence
between a representative of American
journalism and a Spanish hidalgo who
did not propose to sit quiet while his
countiy was being defamed. The cor
respondence, nil of It most Interesting,
would more than fill this page, but
from the concluding letter of the Span
lard, In which ho evidently touched
the top of his powers as a defendant,
we quote one passage as showing the
Spanish point of view:
In 1SK nearly eleven thousand mutders
wero committed In tho United States, by
far mora than In any other nation, more
than twice as many as In Spain per each
million inhabitants. Tho murders hero
aro mostly dono in cold blood and for
money; In Spain they nro the result of
sudden impulse, from revenge and Jeal
ousy and strong provocation. Burglary
In tho cities, brlgandngo on tho high road,
peculations, plunder and robbery of all
sorts, high and low, Is nowadays worso
In these United States than In any other
country, barbarous, semi-barbarous or
civilized. In the United States there aro
ono nnd a half million drunkards, of
which ono hundred nnd fifty thousand dlo
yearly from excess; In Spain tho vlco Is
virtually unknown. Trnmplsm, tho plague
nnd terror of country towns here, un
known In Spain. Pauperism, In Its nb
Ject form In England and tho United
States, does not exist In Spain; thero nre
beggars, yes, but all well taken caro of
by Individual charity. Dlvoices, "ob
tained cheaply and without publication;"
in some places ns abundant ns mar
riages; In other places, moro nbundant;
In all places, superabundant: not known
in Spain. Wo will not mention tho fright
ful numbers of nameless crimes, public
and private, so prevalent In tho most en
lightened sections of this country, fnr
moro thnn in any other country, England,
perhaps, excepted. Suicides In tho United
States, tho second largest quota after
Protestant Saxony; In Spain, tho smallest
In the world, very rare. Arion nnd train
wrecking, so nwfully frequent now, es
pecially among youthful criminals in tho
Unlted,States, Is not even thought of out
side of this country.
In "semi-barbarous" Spain thero ore no
lonthsomo saturnalia of upper-tendom
roues to amuse tho cesspool-paper read
ers, the club corners and gossip monger
lng circles. And one of theso satyrs, tho
chief actor In tho most rovoltlng of rev
elries of last winter, only a few months
later, when still under Judicial indict
ment, but enjoying tho Immunity of so
cial position, maudlin sentiment nnd so
forth, Is "In token thereof," received with
an ovation, nnd lionized, by ono of tho
principal business exchanges of tho city
of New York, after "certain cercmonles.v
ns tho nowspaper account hns It, recall
ing tho most disgusting cplsodo of that
"famous'' carousal. And tho muck-raking
Journals, over ready to furnish sala
cious lies against the. military In Cuba to
gullible, hato-breeding fanatics, have, oh
not not a word of reprobation for theso
abettors of publlo Indecency In this out
raged community, but Join in tho "horn
ago," by looking on tho occurrence ns a
hugo Joke, "simply Immense, don't you
know," No night prowling ministers of
tho gospel, so called, who glvo to their
congregations and tho newspapers their
bestial experiences, for tho edification of
all, especially of tho young tyros of the
land. No such rellHlous minstrels on the
ataft of preachers of fashionable ladles'
magazines. No: poor Spain has not yet
reached this standard of civilization; and
God grant that she never mny)
Of course thle Is Interesting; but after
all It la somewhat aside from the main
point. Bo tho social morals of Spain
and tho United States what they may,
tho fact remains that nowhere In this
country Is Individual liberty restricted
as It has been In Cuba; nowhero do wo
find the general and apparently sanc
tioned civic abuses that prevail there,
and never nt any time since the Ameri
can republic was founded has It prose
cuted n war or conducted a campaign
with tho utter Inhumanity and hoaft
lessncss, the total disregard of generous
Instincts nnd the recklessness of ulti
mate consequences which characterize
the pending but hopeless attempt of
Spain to re-subjugnto Cuba. We do not
reply to tho Spnnlsh writer's arraign
ment of our social morals for tho rea
son that It Is not the.suhjoct before tho
hou'se. Human nature In the working
out of Its vices and Its passions Is pret
ty much tho same the world over; but
It will take Borne effort to make Ameri
cans believe that tho Spanish style of
government Is an appropriate one for
a new world Island territory three
fourths American In all but the name.
By deciding not to pay more than
$300 per ton for armor plate the United
States senate decides that It doesn't
care a rap whether we get war ships
or not. And yet It Is tho senate which
Is the one part of tho government that
Is most disposed to make warships
necessary.
The advanced women of England un
doubtedly have a Just grievance against
the Salisbury administration because
of Its duplicity in passing a woman
suffrage bill In the commons, only to
squelch It forever In the lords. But
that Is politics.

Although he wnsn't elected president

Proper Lines of
National Growth
If any reader of Tho Trlbuno failed to
read the speech by Hon. Charles Kmoiy
Smith nt Detroit last Tuesday, wo nd
vlso him to hunt up Wednesday's paper
and afford himself nn Intellectual treat.
A moro exhilarating enunciation of Amer
ican policy has not been made since tho
best days of James G. Ulalno nor could
Mr. Blaine, gifted ns ho was In tho em
ployment of the English language, havo
put tho same thoughts Into finer rhetoric.
Well may the Troy, K. Y., Times say:
tho Detroit convention had dono nothing
more It would havo Justified its assemb
ling In tho opportunity given for the de
livery of that splendid nddress."
Mr. Smith's nddress.adds tho Times, was
a platform In Itself. It tnkes a luminous
mind to thus develop from tho movements
of tho speech nnd writing of tho day tho
genuine principles of Republicanism, to
Identify them by tho heredity of their
llneago and to so group them that every
reader will instinctively confess: "Hero
nro tho past, present nnd future of tho
Republican party. This is tho titlo of Its
histoiy, tho reason of Its existence, the
surety of Its continuance." In clearness
of thought and In fullness and decision of
languago It would bo hard to point to
anything finer among tho summaries of
partisan doctrine Especially timely was
tho tracing of the blood courslngs In tho
life of tho party In whoso veins havo
flowed tho cut rents of American growth.
First It was "tho nationalization of free
dom." Next it was "tho industrial up
building of the regenerated Union." Now,
says Mr. Smith, tho mission is "to com
plete tho Industrial independence and
power of the American republic, nnd to
extend the sceptro of Its commercial do
minion nnd of Its peaceful and paramount
lntluenco over tho American continent."
Tho most prophetic portion of tho ad
dress, however, in Impresslveness nnd tho
novelty of Its force, was that which re
lated to tho position of tho United States
ns tho guiding patron for tho American
continent. Mr. Smith recognizes that Re
publicanism owes to humanity the duty
of perpetuation. Ho says: "Tho time Is
ripening for tho development of a broad,
true continental policy not aggressive,
not military, not grasping, but peaceful,
commercial and beneficent. Tho genius
of Republicanism demands that It shall
stand In tho forefront of opportunity, and
It will fall short of Its present mission If
Itc penetrating vision does not prefigure
tho high destiny of the republic and if its
patriotic spirit does not movo forward to
ward its realization." This Is not n rash
nnd sudden Invitation to unforsccn ex
periment. "Tho statesmen of tho earlier
era, even in tho Infancy of tho republic,
wero constantly laboring to extend Its In
fluence In the western hemisphere." Ham
ilton, Franklin, Jefferson all looked for
an unfolding of a destiny of growth for
tho United States. Tho small souls that
aro protesting against "territorial ag
grandizement" had ancestors who did tho
name thing when Louisiana was pur
chased. Whero aro those croakers now?
Mr. Smith answers: "Burled and forgot
ten in tho snmo merciful oblivion which
fifty years henco will throw Its generous
mantle over their lineal progeny who now
oppose, tho acquisition of Hawaii! Theso
critics who would undertake to stop tho
march of tho Inevitable aro wiser In their
own conceit than all tho long lino of Illus
trious statesmen from Clay, Calhoun,
Everett, Maicy and Sewnrd to Blaine and
Harrison. Fifty years ago saga
clous American stntesmauHhlp contem
plated tho unnoxntlon of Hawaii, and It
hns never since been out of tho purview
of American policy except during tho
brief and unhappy honeymoon of Cleve
land and Lllluokalanl."
Another lesson Is learned from English
methods, nnd that Is to have "tho as
cendancy of tho stars and stripes over
tho Nicaragua canal unquestioned and
unchallenged." "Tho Nicaragua canal
must bo instinctively an American meas
ure, built with American capital and
under undisputed American control."
This Is not tho policy of Jingoism. It Is
dimply giving tho best government on
earth a chance. It is doing unto others
as wo havo dono unto ourselves. It Is
recognizing nnd obeying olir obligations
to humanity nnd particularly to thoso
whom wo elbow on tho American conti
nent. Let Mr. Smith In his statesman
llko wny detlno it: 'This continental
policy Is ono of peaco, commcrco and
moral influence. It is not a policy of
truculent nggresslon or territorial rapac
ity or political or military aggrandize
ment. It nlms at tho recognized ascend
rnty of this republic In tho American sys
tem, lit tho expansion of Its commercial
dominion nnd at the advancement of its
wholesomo cxumple and Influence for
peaco, frt ternlty and reciprocity through
out the continent. it docs not
menu the ambitious or arbitrary seizure
of all tcnltorry which muy be within our
grasp, but It does mean tho acceptance
of such accessions ns naturally consti
tute outlying or Integral parts of our
political system and as plainly lie along
the pathway of our destiny. It recog
nizes that Independent of oil present
questions of sympathy for struggling
pntrlots nt our own doors, tho fato of
Cuba points Inevltnbly to ultimate secur
ity nnd tranquility under tho ling of tho
Union. And Jt Is not terrified nt tho prob
lems which follow such acquisition, for
It is not tied to hidebound theories of
procedure nnd believes that enlightened
statesmanship ndapta Itself, to now occa
sions nnd now conditions."
No other policy, mean, narrow nnd
stingy, should satisfy the American pco.
plo or tho Republican party. Tho party
of Lincoln nnd Grant nnd McKlnley tins
been a continuous party becauso It has
been a party of high ideals. Republi
canism hns not been placed on earth to
turn Its toes In as It walks. Mho policy
of tho United Stutes must bo a progres
sive policy, and for forcibly stntlng It
Mr. Smith deserves a national voto of
thanks.
PUT A NEW FACE ON IT.
From tho Washington Star.
Tho pcoplo had almost como to bellevo
that tho onerous duties of the presidency
could only bo borno by a mnn who would
cither shut hlmseir up ns a. nermit, or
cajolo visitors with studied Insincerity,
or harden his heart to such an extent
ns to leave him devoid of nil human, at
traction. Mr. (McKlnley, In four montns'
time, has put tho very opposite face upon
tho matter, by combining In tho otllco
opproachablcncis, sincerity, kindliness
nnd candor, and, while denying many,
ho has misled nobody,

To postpone tho Hawaiian annexation

the great conclusions favor tho proposed
annexation.

From tho New York Sun.
Tho Sun frnnkly declares Its prefer

tho revolutionary combination of tho
nominal Democratic party with populism
nnd tho wild and dangerous elements of

From the Chicago Record.
Tho American pcoplo are In danger of
