The proclamation of the president for- catching of Behring sea excoept by persons author- ized by the United States government, has renewed attention to the monopoly of the seal fisheries in Alaskan waters by the Alaska Commercial The action of the president in giving the protection of the govern- ment. to this monopoly cannot fairly subject him to any criticism, since he has simply done what was required by an act of congress passed and approved near the close of 9 IRTTERS, 11 business letters and remittances should be d to THE B UBLISHING COMPANY, AHA.

The importance of this action is the international considerations involved. It renews the claim of the United States to exclusive dominion over the waters of Behring sea, which has been held to be in direct conflict with the preten- sions of the government in the contro- versy regarding the fisheriesof Canada, and which has not been conceded by other governments. The opinion largely prevails in this country, also, that the claim cannot be maintained. over, it is a matter of record that the United States more than seventy years ago resented a like claim on the part of Russia, insisting upon the right of American seamen to navigate those In view of these considerations it is very questionable whether the proclamation of the president will be respected by the people of other coun- tries who may desire to hunt fur seals in the forbiaden have already been intimations from the Canadian press that the fishermen of the Dominion will not be deterred by the proclamation from entering Behr- In the event of their going into these waters the United States will be compelled to seize the offending ves- sels,as was done in several instances two years ago,end the effect of this might be to produce a serious interna- tional controversy. operates equally against American sea- men, and such as have made prepara- tions to cruise in Behring sea in search of fur seals will suffer a very considera~ ble pecuniary loss. Regulations that will give such protec- tion to the seal fisheries as will prevent their destruction are doubtless to be de- sired, but in order to do this it was not necessary for the government to sur- render these fisheries into the hands of a monopoly, which, like all monopolies, has abused its privileges. very good reason to believe that the contract will not be renewed, but mean- time the reopening of the Alaska seal fisheries this summer is likely to be productive of some interesting inci- dents in that quarter. that these stockholders have And the govern- Average....... diyidend than posterity can have, and it is suggested that a much longer de- lay will constrain or force many to throw over their improfitable holdings of the stock, ‘‘and thus lose the natural fruits of years of waiting, for the benefit of others who came in at the eleventh The Advertiser does not believe it to be the design or desire of the man- agement of the road to freeze out old stockholders, but it says .this must be the effect if dividends are much longer L) B.

To this result the profits of last year are to be added. The position taken by the Advertiser has been heartily approved in communica- tions from Union Pacific stockholders, one of whom says that many of them cannot hold their stock any longer. The results of this internal pressure upon the Union Pacific management, which seemslikely tobe maintained with increasing earnestness and vigor will be watched with a good deal of interest. ‘While the company was endeavoring to induce congress to extend the time for the payment of its obligations to the government, and there seemed to bea promise of success, it was not a very difficult matter to satisfy the stockhold- ers of the inexpediency of paying divi- dends, but the failure to get the sought- for extension, with less probability than ever before of ite ever being obtained, has naturally created an impatient de- sire on the part of the stockholders to realize something on their stock. one of them writes: *‘T ignore the ques- tion of a settlement with the govern- If an adjustment cannot be made land.departments.

The law makes it the duty of the proper officers to make contracts with and purchase supplies from the lowest bidders, but it has been evaded, and the business farmed out to favor- ites. Supplies are bought hap- hazard, just as it may be con- venient, and exorbitant prices vaid. The house rightly insisted that supplies should be bought at wholesale and from the lowest responsible bidder. A turther check was placed on extrava- gance by providing that the “‘superin- tendentsof the various state institutions shall file in the office of the secretary of state on the last day of each month an itemized statement in detail of all sup- plies purchased for the maintenance of their respective institutions, duly veri- fied by the oath of the superintendent.” The application of common business methods to state affairs will effect a groat saving to the taxpayers, and should be promptly concurred in by the senate. the the THE spring risd of the Missouri is moving down from the Dakotas.

Does Mr. Hitchcock contend for a moment that these men do not possess business sagacity enough to prevent their taking any action which would cripple the city? Does he think they are the kind of men who would sanction any movement to delay the construction of the postofiice? These men who are demanding their rights are the leading spirits in the business of this city, and they have a right to be heard in the postoffice loca- tion. Some of these men represent manufactories in this city employing in the aggregate over two thousand men, and they certainly cannot, with any reason, be charged with not having the material interests of this civy at heart.
