TIIK rtKlllAO SKA CASK.
The decision of the court of arbitra
tion in the Uerlng sea case U n substan
tial victory for the United States , al
though HOoral of the claims which thU
country deemed important were not al
lowed. Ono of those was thn claim of
exclusive jurisdiction over the sea as
liming been derived from the cession of
Alaska to tlio United States , the us-
Riimption rtf this government being that
ItiHsla had exorcised such jurisdiction
with the consent of Grout Britain and
therefore the right came to the United
Stales when they obtaincil possession of
Alaska by purchase from Russia.
This seemed a plausible claim , but
the court found that Hussla
had novel1 assorted or nxotcised exclus
ive jurisdiction and honoo the claim had
no foundation. Having thus found the
court might , with strict adherence to
international law , hnvo confined the
jurisdiction of the United States to the
thtee-inilo limit , as contended for by
the British counsel , but it MOOIIIB to have
been influenced by the broader princi
ples advanced by the American counsel ,
with the result of laying down n sixty-
milo protected -/one around the seal *
islands and also establishing a
close season to bo maintained for
the three months irom May 1
to July 31 in the North Pacific cconn
and Boring sea. Pelagic sealing will bo
allowed from August 1 outsldo the pro
tected 70no , the use of firearma being
prohibited , and thcso rcsti lotions , It is
believed by the American arbitrators ,
will put an end to pelagic sealing. With
regard to the claim nuido and strongly
urged by our government of property
right in tlio fccala it appears to have
been measurably conceded , the protec
tion of sen ! life being loft to Interna
tional agreement.
It is' stated that the judgment
of the court is satisfactory to
the American arbitrators and it
is to bo presumed that it will bo
so regarded by the country. Certainly
there will bo a feeling of relief that
tl is long-pending contro\crsy , which
for a time thrcatonded to boriously dis
turb the friendly relations between
Gtcat Britain and the United States ,
has been amicably settled and that all
dungor of further trouble regarding the
seal fisheries has been removed. The
decision plainly indicates that the court
was not unmindful of the intctost of
mankind in the preservation of tlio seal
llshoiics.a consideiation of which the
American counsel made much and with
manifestly good clTcct. Tlio distin
guished lawyers who represented this
country before the tribunal may well be
giatilied with the result of their efforts ,
while the wet Id has boon given another
most instructive object lesson in the
value of arbitration for the settlement
of the most complicated international
controversies.

That Ivfr. Cleveland is bcliovod bj
some of his most cat nest friends am
supporters to have no sympathy will
the tariff plank of the domocratii
national platform is unquestionable. Ii
an editorial referring to the norainatioi
of Mr. Neal by the Ohio democracy , the
New York Times said : "Mr. Clovelum
was notified of his nomination at a giea
mass mooting of the demociaoy nt Mad
ison Squat o garden on the evening o
July 20. Bofoto taking his stand upoi
tlio platform ptopared for bin
at Chicago ho delibeiatoly kicked on ,
of it the plank which Mr. Neal had in
borted therein. " Tills is followed by i
quotation from the address of Mr
Cleveland on that occasion , in which hi
said in reference to the tariff : "Wo neec
not b.iso our attack updn questions o
constitutional permission or legislative
power. * * * Outs is not a destructive
tivo party. Wo are not at enmity will
the rights of any of our citi/.cns. Al

lobsly heedless ot any American interests
osts , nor will wo abandon our regard fo ;
them , but invoking the love of fuirncs
and justice which belongs to trn
Americanism , and upon which ou
constitution rests , wo insist that n
plan of tariff legislation shall bo tolor
atcd which has for its object and pur
pose a forced contribution from th >
earnings and incomes of the mass of ou
citi/ens to swell directly the accmnuln
tions of a favored few. " The Philn ii
dolphia IsCtlyci , which is perhaps mor
if nearly the organ of Mr. Cleveland thai
any other paper in the country , also i
loforrlng to the nomination of Neti
speaks of him aa "tho author of th
tariff plank which was ignored by Clovt
land. " Tno Now York Hun , which poi 0r
Hlstently urges that the democrat !
party must redeem the pledge ti
gardlng the tarllT made in 1' '
national platform , professes to boliev .
that the president will not dlsregar
that pledge , and it finds warrant for th :
belief in the reference which Mr. Clcv
land made to the tariff question in h
in message to the extra session of congros
to Thoio are good reasons , howo\or , f (
ton. doubting the honesty of the Sun. The
n.Bt aio none whatever for questioning tl
BtO sincerity of the other papois. Tin
speak with unreserved candor , nnd 01
of them at least , it is safe to iissum
In from an intimate knowledge of the tar :
Inn views of the president. What M
nHO Cleveland said in his latest mu
SO sago goes no further than
loitorato his devotion 10 tariff refot

n- trine that the protective principle Is 11
nn - constitutional. Thoie is not a reuse

that doctrine , and such being the en :
to thoio Is substantial ground for the c

IATKSI IX UMAILl
Tlio blda received by the city treasurer
in i espouse to his call for proposals for
8202.'tOO long and short time bonds , while
in n certain measure disappointing , ought
nevertheless to be considered aa gratify
ing evidence of the city's credit. With
a market overcrowded with offers of
similar bonds , with a financial strin
gency unparalleled in recent years , with
a bond bearing fi per cent interest not
dlsoosablo ut figures below par , tlio pro
posals received for nearly $10lDOO ) of
the amount offered show that Omaha
haa by no means sunk so low as many of
her sister citios.
The same number of the United States
Jnveitor , which contains the advertise
ment of the Omaha city tioaauror ,
makes frequent mention of unsuccessful
attempts to flout bonds. Prom it wo
learn that not ono bid was received by
the city clerk of Paterson , N , J. , re
cently for the issue of $12.'i,000 , school and
city hall bands ; that only ono bid was
made for the 345)7,000 ) of ton-year 3 per
cent waterworks bonds of Toledo , O. ,
nnd that being conditional had to
uo refused ; that a Cleveland firm had
decided not to take the bonds amounting
to $ X ,000 which had boon awat ded to
them by the Fi'anklln park commls
sionors of Columbus , O. : that the city
treasurer of Boston on opening nroposals
for a $1,000,000 city loan on August 2 ,
found but ono bid , aim that for only ton
of the $1,000 bonds. And the reports of
unsuccessful bond financiering in
smaller places are almost legion. In
view of these facts , Omaha could hardly
expect outsldo tlrms to make offers for
her bonds at the present time. The
commendable spirit displayed by the
local contractors In taking the bonds
whoso sale is necessary for the prosecu
tion of the work under their contracts
might well bo communicated to other
oiti/ous who have money to invest. It Is
not a call for benevolence or philan
thropy. Omaha city bonds at par , bearing -
ing 3 per cent , are excellent investments.
Their sale just now will enable the
work of public improvement to proceed
ns mapped out in tlio early spring. Five
per i-ont and local patriotism ought to
bring out a few more bids from the
moneyed men in our midst.
ItKt'ORM IX MUNICIPAL
Ono of the most timely , interesting
and practical of the \ ai ious congresses
which have so far been hold in connec
tion with the World's fair at Chicago
was that which was devoted to the con
sideiation of topics relating to local gov
ernment. To this local gov eminent con
gress contributions were made by men
\ \ ho had studied the questions from the
standpoint of theory nnd also by tlioso
who had gained their experience from
active participation in municipal affairs.
There seemed to bo little or no differ
ence of opinion upon the proposition
that our city po\oinnicnts are ludically
wrong and requite icnov.ition from tlio
bottom up. In suggesting the remedy ,
however , some difficulty in uniting upon
a single simple recommendation became
t manifest.
The first essential in leforming mu
nicipal government is to know the eauso
of tlio existing defects. According to
Prof. John n. Gray , the failure to
establish decent municipal government
in America is duo to the fact that the
great body of intelligent citi/ons have
failed to icali/.o what their duty is and
'to do it. The point ho seeks to impress
is that reputable business men have no
scruples whatever in voting for men
whom they know to bo unprincipled and
corrupt , that as iogards city affairs wo
have no sense of public morality , public
duty or public service. President Low
of Columbia college , twice elected us
o reform mayor of Brookljn , expressed
his views in much the same way. The
ono cause of bad government most deep-
e seated of all , said he , was that good citi
ir zens wont to the polls and nullified each
i- othoi'rt votes for honest municipal gov
io ernment because they dllToied on na
o tional politics. They wjjre paitlsnns before -
n fore they were oltl/ons. The city must
n be taken out of politics.
il To secure efficient city government we
10 must have elllcient city officials. Effi
0- cient city olllcials cannot bo picked up
rle from the bourn of ward politicians ; they
leo must bo sought among the men win
ots have boon successful in their own pri
ts vate affairs. We hnvo quite generally
od divorced the city election from the
d national election , but wo have not yei
Is reached that position where all partio-
° * I vie with ono another in nominating tin
best men for the good of the city. Tin
is.or reform in municipal government is wait
or ing for the active participation of roa
ire reformers in muniiilpal politics. x

oy AMONG the mimetous charges mad
no against the Now York police and it
10 , Tammany rtilom in the iccout man
ilf festo of Dr. Pnikhiirst's scclety Is th
ir. following : "Saloon keepers pay for nc

to Volcef
Ists
to disposition shown by some of tl
iolr extreme advocates of fieo silver coinuj
the tourouso bcctional fooling cannot lo t <
he strongly condemned. The attempt
nty these people to array the west ugulu
riff the oust will fail , but the upirlt th
in' actuates thorn is none the less lopiehe
tor- sible and none the loss deserves pub !
the reprobation. They utterly mi&iopi
fur sent the people of the west when th
assort or imply .that there Is danger of
creating hero \ * general sentiment of
hostility townnhjtlio east because of n
difference of ojilnlon regarding ilnnticinl
ixllcy. Itmajjjo fieoly admitted that
there is a considerable number of west
ern people rwlto entertain such o
feeling , but it'l-P'far ' from boinp genet al
and is for the most * part confined to nn
element of thai population which is by
no means the rhltet influential. Western
men of substantial standing financially
and commoruiaHy have no fooling of
hostility to thca'nst , while of the musses
of the people ( lie producers and wugo
eurneis the number U relatively small
who entertain any sectional animosity
or prejudice. As to the question of the
frco and unlimited coinage of silver
there is not a doubt that a majority of
the intelligent people of the west aio
opposed to the policy under existent
conditions. The men who are endeav
oring to create sectional hostility are
doing their cause no gocd and they aio
the worst enemies of the west.
IN OPPOSING the bill providing for an
increase in the 'national bank circula
tion , Congressman Bryan evidently
takes counsel of his prejudice lather
than of his judgment. At the pi osont
time the national banking system is a
part of the financial economy of the
government. It cannot bo abolished
until an adequate substitute is provided ,
and until such a substitute is offered
and accepted the national banking sys
tem should bo encouraged tu the fullest
possible extent consistent with good
policy. Senator Vest's bill would add
many millions of dollars to the circulat
ing medium of the country within a very
few weeks , and every dollar of .that cur
rency would bo as good as tha gold with
the eagles of the mint stamped upon it.
TnniiK are many good reasons for be
lieving that the injunction ptocoed-
ings now pending in thisstato , by which
the opaiation of a law duly passed by
the legislature and signed by the gov
ernor is for the time londcted in
operative nnd ot no benefit , will
bo dissolved in the interests of
the people. Tlio time has not yet ar
rived in this country when a orpoia-
tion can employ the courts to defeat the
will of the people plainly expressed at
the polls , emphasised by its.ropiosontu-
tivos in logisltituio assembled and at
tested by the signature of its governor
elected by a popular majority.
IN KurEiiuiNO to the latest Chicago
hotel holocaust the firemen say that the
place was the worst kind of a ilro trap
and that at least Hume of the loss of life
is duo to a defect in the law by which
hotels less than four stories high may
avoid putting up lire escapes. There is
no excuse in those days for allowing fire
traps to stand us 'virtual invitations to
death dealing conflagrations. There arc
doubtless other places equally unsafe
both in Chicago' uijd other cities , and if
the fiiomou'aro aware of their danger
ous condition thoysshould bo held to ac
count in case any fatality-i osults from
their negligence.
Tun abuse of the injunction was hap
pily illustrated nt Louisville , Ky. , the
other day when the two loading distil
lery companies secured nn injunction
icstruininsr the collector of internal
revenue from proceeding according ; to
law in the collection of whisky taxes
which were due and unpaid on that day.
Tlio day may bo approaching when tlio
sherifl may be icstialncd from execut
ing a condemned criminal or u judge en
joined fioin pi enouncing sentence upon a
man convicted of a crime.
Tun populists are not the only people
who will tnko a hand in the independ
ent state convention which meets at
Lincoln on September 5. A crowd of
republican strikers are already volun
teering their services in the work of
making up the slate , and the independ
ents will bo sorely handicapped unless
they give the ringsters distinctly to
understand that their incddlcsomo intor-
foionco will not bo tolerated.

Kansas Pity Star : As thd'outflow of gold
from the United States was the oriuln of the
distrust In thmticlal elides , the eh HIIRO In the
movement of the jollow metal ought to
crcato a prompt revival of confidence. This
appears to ho a plain application of the law
of catiso and effect.
Minneapolis Tilbmio : Tl-o financial cloud
of the past ninety ilajs has now taken on a
gold lining of deep and radiant , huo. The
cold tmlvals of the past week Iiom London ,
Paris and Uerlln rose to nearly JUIXKIXX )
and there Is still a good substantial volume
of gold afloat for our shores with ovoiy pros ,

Phllailolphla Hccord : With the Introduc
tion Into tlio circulating medium of an ad-
( litlonal fo,000UOO in gold coin , of the lower
denominations , which is to bo struck oft at
the mint Iu this city , the usc'of gold for cur
rent payments and the demands ot retail
trade may bo considerably Increased. The
tieasury has on hand a consldcrahiu stock
of gold bullion which might bo advanta

much as romp tred with the resumptions.
The b ilanco was laigoly on the right side of
the industrial ledger. This affords grounds
for hope that thu worst Is over , The most
itnpottant tinnouucomunt was to the effect
that the irreatstiikoof coal minors in Kan
sas is over. It began May 10 and Involved
no less than 10,000 men , a population pio-
sumably of M,000. ) It Is expected that the
details of the adjustment will bu concluded
this week. Ten thousand men Idle about
tlnoo months means great loss ami hard
ship. Perhaps the most notublo labor news
is the amiouncomont that thu strike at thu

is some low ui ing of wages repotted , but
moro payment by check or some form of
p iper not likely to be hid away Ina stocking.
The contraction of the currency by such
sequestration tends to the shortening of the
discount lines neccss iry to Uio continuance
of operations In mills and other lines of
labor. It is a hopofyl sign of the times that

offset this pciniclous distrust.

Boys' long-pant school suits , 13 to 18 years , cur
tailed down to $5 , $6.50 and $7.50. Some others for
