As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad~ vertising Mediumit has ue competiter. ———————————— ‘The Bering Sea Tribunal whose decision 4s announced today will rank in history with the Geneva tribunal of 1870, and the Berlin Conference of 1878. It is true that ail that the United States has contended for before the Tribunal has not been granted, but enough has been conceded to make the result satisfactory. The controversy, which Began in 18%, when Canadian poachers man- ifested unusual activity and their ravages if Unchecked threatened the complete destruc- tion of the Alaska seal fisheries, became so Bitter at times as to menace the peace that existed between the two great nations in- volved. That such a controversy should be ®ettied by arbitration, with a verdict in which both nations acquiesce without a pro- test, is in itself a most satisfactory thing. ‘While the claim of the United States to ab- solute rights in the Bering sea, derived from Russia, has not been sustained by the ‘Tribunal, ample provision seems to have been made for the protection of the seals and the sealing industry. While the United States government has never disclaimed its right to jurisdiction over the sea it has been willing to waive this right, if by an {international agreement the preservation of the fisheries could be insured. The decision of the Tribunal has practically the effect of an agreement such as our government vainly sought to have effected. ‘The institution of a close season by a lew which cannot be disputed, and which every nation is bound to sustain, the establish- ment of a protected zone for sixty miles around the seal fslands, within which pe- lagic sealing is forbidden, and the prohibl- tion of the use of firearms, seem tor con- stitute a concession of all the important points which have been urged uncompro- misingly by the representatives of the Unit- ed States; not only before the Tribunal but fm the long diplomatic controversy which Preceded the adoption of the treaty of ar- Ditration. At no time, seemingly, was the British government adverse to some agree- ment, but the negotiations were constantly hampered by the interference of Canada. ‘The terms granted by the Tribunal, how- ever, are better than those offered by Great Britain, and to this extent the result may be regarded as a triumph for the American Fepresentatives. Exactly all that the United States gains by the decision may not be definitely known untfl the experts, having Knowledge of the natural conditions pre- Yafling about the seal islands, have weighed all the provisions of the decree, but it seems at least to be a substantial gain to have the which all nations will recognize and which ‘will require no gunboats to enforce. ——_r+e—____ The recognition by Congress of the na- character of the centennial velebra- the laying of the corner stone of the to be held next month, Is in ac- with the importance of the event and by the fact that this city ts not a local municipality, but a natical cen- , the capital of the republic. The joint Fesolution which was received in the Senate from the House yesterday and promptly Passed and now only needs the signature of the President tc become law provides for the appointment of a joint committee of seven from the House and seven from the Senate “to take order in the matter of ar- tgif schools in this city and elsewhere should take advantage of the public interest which 4s now directed toward this event in the early history of this city to endeavor to set ¢learly before their pupils the unique and peculiar relations which the government of & quarter of a million of people holds to- wards the general government. There is, perhaps, no subject that is so little under- Stood as the city government of the nation’s capital, ——_+++—___ The emphatic notice the government re- ceived when the Ford's Theater building fell, with terrible loss of life, that there is urgent need for the construction of suit- .Sble buildings here for branches of the gov- ernment now crowded in quarters unfit for the purpose, will probably induce Congress to give some attention to measures such as that Introduced by Senator Faulkner yes- terday providing for the erection of a new fire-proof patent office building. Mr. Faulk- ner’s bill revives again the proposition of making use of the squares between the avenue and the mall for public buildings. ‘This plan has received very general ap- Proval, as it affords convenient sites, and @t the same time without interfering with the general plan of the city provides for greatly adding to its attractiveness. The need for more buildings ts an imperative one,ewherever they may be located. Not one building merely should be author- fzed by Congress, but several, and they should all be of such a character, both in @esign and in construction, as to show to the world that this government is not in- tended for today, but is to last as long as Buman institutions continue. A building that {s likely to wear out in the course of @ quarter of a century is unworthy of the government. Of recent years this style of public buildings in this city has been too €ommon, and a halt should be called at once. ——_+e+ —_ A plan so good as that proposed in the bill offered by Senator Voorhees yesterday end approved by Secretary Carlisle to increase the circulating medium of the country should meet with no opposition or delay in Congress. Senator Voorhees’ bill authorizes Rational banks to fssue circulating notes in amount equal to the par value of the gov- ernment bonds they have on deposit with the treasury. At present the banks are per- mitted to issue in notes only ainety per ent of the par value of the bonds. The Voorhees plan would add about nineteen millions to the circulation and do it as soon as the notes could be printed. Such an op- preciable addition to the currency of the country would have a most reviving effect. Besides the immediate result of increasing the volume of money the plan affords oppor- ‘tunity for further issues should the demand continue, and this without impairiag the value of the money, as the security founded on the obligations of the government would be ample. ——_ +02 - Iron and steel works of magnitude which had been closed in Pittsburg have re-open- ef and more will follow their example soon, and employment will be given to 15,00 men. The Bessemer steel works at Pueblo, Colorado, concerning whose resumption of business this year much dont was felt, have again resumed operations, siving em- ployment to 8” men. This is done without sbsolute knowledge as to what Congress will do with reference to silver or the tariff. The needs of a big and healthy country demand that its energies be ac- tively employed, and while fear may cause them to halt for a short time, they are bound to recuperate. +202 Representatives of labor organizations in Chicago have adopted resolutions against the locking up of currency and advising all their organizations to take the money out of their treasuries and invest it in se- eurities so as to put it into circulation. One of the lessons taught by times of finan- ¢lal stringency is that of the mutual de- endence of capital and labor. The work- Ingman suffe-s when, the manufacturer is obliged by reason of scarcity of money to shut his shop or curtail his operations. The action of the Chicago workingmen cannot be too highly praised, and it is to be hoped their example will be generally followed. ~The locking up of funds in safe deposit vaults or hoarding them in private is be Neved to have had a most unfavorable effect on the business of the country. It is unwise and unpatriotic. A man has morally BO more right to withdraw money from us¢ in this way than he would have THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, TUESDAY. AUGUST 15. 1893. to lock up stores of corn and wheat when people are famishing. The statement made by Controller Eckels and the utterances of the best-informed men of the country all go to show that affairs generally in the country are prosperous, and that there is an abundance of money. There is nothing in the situation that warrants a resort to hoarding, and those who practice it are guilty of a crime against the public good. ‘This fact has been recognized by the in- telligent leaders of the workingmen’s or- ganizations in Chicago, who protest against a wicked and selfish hoarding, for they see that not the capitalist only, but the work- ingmen and evety member of society is affected unfavorably thereby. ———_+ e+ ‘The Duke of Veragua’s bad luck did not end with his losses through games of ebance in Europe by any means. He en- counters renewed misfortune in the fact that the talk of a Veragua fund to be raised in this country came up almost simultaneously with a financial panic. The duke ts an affable and estimable gentleman, too polite to make objection at any such extraordinary freak of hospitality as the collection of money for him, and too well- balanced to show emotion when the pros- pect of the benefaction begins to fade. On looking the ground over, the duke seems to have less to say about the matter than almost anybody else connected with it. ‘This is an evidence of great sagacity on his part, as a few words might shatter the popular interest in him here which at pres- ent seems to constitute his principal though rather attenuated hope for the future, unless he arrives at the-wise deter- mination that he might as well stay here with a view to going to work and growing up with the country. ———_+ 2 —____ Before the heat of another summer ts upon us a reasonable amount of heretofore unasked liberality may do much ood. Among the many useful benevolent institu- tions of Washington no one does more cnm- mendabie work than that accomplished by the Children’s Country Home. There health has been re-established in hundreds of little frames and never-to-be-forgotten pleasures enjoyed by those whose ordinary existence is far from pleasurable. But the idea needs broadening and the accommoda- tions should be extended. Many an infant died during the almost departed summer be- cause there was no provision of shelter and sustenance for the mothers of the youthful Poor. A thousand or two of dollars would be sufficient to defray the expense of erect- ing a building in connection with the Coun- try Home,where both mothers and little ones could enjoy a week or two of holiday dur- ing the worst of the warm weather. Here is an opportunity for a philanthropist with cash, ———_+++—____ The Florida State Board of Health gives assurance that the yellow fever is aito- gether unlikely to put in an appearance here, and the symptoms which gave rise to the foreboding have disappeared. The manner in which any vessel concerning which a suspicion as to cholera ts felt is handled in New' York is an assurance that the disease will gain 9 foothold in this country. Big fron manufactories are resuming business in a most encouraging manner. Now let the world’s fair proceed to boom. —e The word “compromise” ordinarily car- Ties with It an idea of forbearance and broad-mindedness that is soothing in its influence. But as applied to the work now before Congress there is about it the sug- gestion of argumentative delay that is any- thing but reassuring. ———_+ e+ ____ ‘There were two victims to the murderous trolley in Brooklyn yesterday—William Miller, a boy five years old, and William H.

I don't write poetry with my feet.” An Unfortunate Complexion. “She never goes to the seashore for the summer, does she?” said one girl to an- other. “No. There's no use in it, for no one"would know it if she did.
