Late informaticn reported that only four vessels of the Pacific flect would be held at Vietoria to verform duty required at the north, but reumstances may induce n modi- fication of this arran ontire squadron into north. The force of w; cutters emploved by the United St government last season in patrolling Bering sea is still available. The Boar the IRush and the Corwin are preparing to renew the service; the Mohican and the Thetis are on the Pacitic coast and can be sent back to Alaskan waters, as also can the Alertand the Marion, which passed the winter on the Asintic station. In addition to restoring vhis fo to the seal polico duties, the Rangor, which is about to go into commission, can be em- ployed in this sorvice. Besides these wooden vessels there would b available the new steel ships now in the 1 ey which were to be used in of war with Chill. But the foree will perhaps be ample without these unless the Brit- ish government proposes to protect the poachers, and 1t would certainly scem that this is contemplated. The determination of President Iar- rison to employ all the power of the government necessary to protect the rights of the United Statesin Bering sea nnd to enforce tho imperative man- date of the law of congress, it is still to be hoped may have the effect to induce Lord Sulisbury to accede to the reason- able request of this government for a re newal of last agreement, but there is little probability that he will re- cede from the position he has taken. It does not necossarily follow, however, that he will provoke a confliet with the United States by protecting the Cana- dinn poachers, and it is to by vegarded as rather more than likely that ho will leave them to take care of themselves. The English newspapers profoss to ro- gavd the situation as being dangerous, and so undoubtedly it is, but it is hardly conceivablo that the British govern- ment will risk a war with the United Stutes in order toenable a fow Canadian poachers to earry on their pivatical busi- ness. sov- nadian alrendy ncouver, be in- croased re: an) ro- sorvice at r vessels and revenue \tes case venr's TAMMANY TACTICS. Mr. E. L. Godkin, editor of the New York Evening Post, wes arrested for criminal libel at an early hour Sunday morning. The man who cavsed the ar- rest is u creature of the political organ- ization of which Boss Tweeu was at one time the chief. Theonly apparent reason for muking the arvest on Sunday was to subject Mr. Godkin to g ance and humi i He has made a persistent warfare upon Tam- many, exposing and denouncing its cor- rupt mothods and lawless practices, und cousequently has incurred its bitter hatred. Tammany is relentless in the pursuit of those who are the objects of its hostility. To tako a respectable and responsible citizen from his bed on Sun- day morning and hurry him to the police court was a proceeding quite character- istic of the unscrupulous political organ- ization which controls the democratic party in New York The New York 77ribune observes that itwas not Mr. Godkin alone at whom these proceodings weve aimed. They were mauifestly intended, says that paper, us a waraing to all newspaper editors and others who might feel dis. posed to criticise the methods of Tam- many or the character of its instru- ments. They serve to emphasize the fact that Tammany Hall, if it has not yet reached the point of absolute power where it can suppress hostile utterances entiroly, has at least the machinery whereby it can subject to graat annoy- ance and put in peril the personal lib- erty of whoover ventures to criticise it oo harshly. *“It is a signof the times,”” says the Tribuie, “o sign of the grow- ing audacity of the gang who rule the town.” Interestin this matter is not confined to New York, since it is this political organization which is the chief support of a candidate for tho presi- dency, which is in control of the demo- cratic machine in the Empire state, and which would, in the event of theeloction of its candidate to the presidency, ex tend its power and influence over the whole country. Tammany is the most dangorous polit- ical force in this country, or that has ever oxisted here, and except during the Tweed regime it has nover been more corrupt and unscrupulous than it is at present. When the honest farmers of the northwest are asked to coalesco with the democrats, in order to put a democrat in the executive chair at Washington, they should reflect thit the chief promoters of this scheme are men who enjoy the confidence and friendship of Tawmmany, which has not the remotest interest in the welfare of the furmers of the country and is seek- ing only the spoils of power, FROM FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE Now the Des Moives Register comes in and demands that the republicans in the Towa legislature shall unite in favor of resubmission, What are they to resub- mit? Are they to go through the farce of trying to ascertain popular opinion as to whether the statute prohibiting the liquor traflic shall be retaived or is it proposed to resubmit an amendment to the constitution of Iowa by which pro- hibition shall be engrafied organic law. Suppose the democrats accommodate the bat-blind republicans who are clamoring for resubmission as o way out of the dilemma into which the party has been put, what position will the republican party take on the amend- ment incase it is submitted? Would not submission make a wider split in the party than has been already made by the attempt to uphold u statute that has been a dead letter ever since it was eracted? 1s it not wanifest that what- | take It consists | | rovresentations. ment and put the | the | into the ; THE OMAH over position Towa repnblicans would on the resubmitted amendmont would inevitably prove more disastrous than leaving the issue to be fought out when the next legislature is eleeted?

We do not know How many papers the W.-Il circulates at rth Bend and Elkhorn THE BEE sulates 15 at Blkhorn and 25 at North Bend, which is certainly a respectable showing for these towns, In the face of this comparative exhibit Tue Bee is content to let would-be rivald talk about its decline. The proof of the pudding is in the cating. In March, 1886, the aggregate daily circulation of THE BEer was 11,587; in March, 1887, it w 14,400; in March, 1888, 19,680; March, 1889, 18,854; March, 1890, 20,815; March, 1891, 24,065, Dur- ing the present month it has ranged from 24,350 to 24,800. There has been no material growth in population either in Omahu or Nebraska since 1890, and we ure just emerging from a very marked depression that has affected newspaper patronnge as it has all other lines of business. The fact that THE BEr now has over 4,000 more daily circulation than it had in 1890, affords abundant proof of its ability to maintain its rank as the most widely circulatod paper be- tween Chicago and San Francisco. And it will talke sevoral years before our én- terprising contemporary can catch up with it. THE PRIMARY RULES. Every honest republican will weltome reform in the caucus, primary and con- vention. Jt is a well understood fact that the worst evils of universal suffrage are perpetrated through these prelimi- nary elections and meetings of partisans. Therefore the average en will re- pgard with favor the effort now being made by the republican city and county central committees for reform because it is u step in the right direction. The scheme already outlined is open to serious objections, some of which have been pointed out by THE Bre. The members of tho two committees can yet remodel their work and "they should do s0 before the call is made for the prim- ary olections. The wenkest spot in the new plan is the caucus. The caucus should be aholished. It is the source of the worst abuses of our present pre- election system. The other dangerous feature of the proposed regulations is the arbitrary power conferred upon the committees in the registration of voters. It enables designing men to pad the registration lists and vote gangs of repeaters under fictitions names notwithstanding the penalty which the law prescribes for il- legal voting at primary elections. he committees ure to be commended for their intorest in the matter, It isa healthful indication to find the mana- gers ofu political party striving to guard the pre-election methods of their organ- ization from fraud, intimidation and other forms of corruption. Tueg BEE hopes in their deliberations at the com- ing meeting they will beable to improve upon the regulations hitherto consid- eved, and that King Caucus may be de- prived of his imperial crown, BRITISH PLANS IN NORTH AMERICA. The rveport that the British govern- ment contem plates occupying vthe harbor of Sun Quentin, Lower California, as a coaling station, may not be well founded, but there can be no doubt of the purposoe of tho British government to strengthen its power in North America so as to in- sure grealer security to its possessions here. Two weeks ago, at a dinner in London, Sir Charles Tupper, high com missioner of Canada in England, mado a speech which aroused his great enthusinsm. He stated that by her present policy Cunada prevented New York and Boston from becoming commercial capitals, and with tho aid of the homo government she . eould still further encroach upon the prestige of theeo cities and make onv of her own seaports the greatest outlet in the world for grain, He also delighted = his English auditors by telling them that it would not be long before the paople of the Dominion would show their loyalty to the integrity of the Rritish empire by striking the United States a vital blow. 1t is unquestionable that the tory gov- ernment of Canada exerts a great influ- ence with the imperiul government, and it is being used now to induce the latter tostrengthen the defenses of the Domin- ion frontier and to put Canada 1n & con- dition that would enable her, in the event of serious trouble with the United States, to take her own part until Brit- ish help could aveive.

Mr. Anthony has lived four years in Lower California and he asserts positively that when the country was stirrod up two years ago by news of a tilibus- tering oxpedition with Lower California as its objective point, two British mon-of-war, the Pheasant and Warsprite, wore lying off San Quentin bor just in sight of the coast, awaiting a signal from tho biuff back of the harbor, upon which they wero to stewm in and take possession of San Quentin on the flimsy pretext of protecting British interests —namely, the Mexican Iuternational com- pany. When it became known that the whole scheme lnd beon oxposed, tho men-of-war got quickly out of sight. The much-talked of improvements —tho railways, iron works, ete., are mostly mythical. A short bit of track has been luid, but it is suitable only for a motor road. arther, Anthony that the sh vessel which brings subplies to San Quentin will earry more of tho munitions of war than of steel rails. His most striking statement is that all these facts ure, and havo loug been, known at Washington, and that moro than once the State dopartment has sent government agents to ascertain where the International company’s headquarters are, and they have learned not only the facts herein stated, but many others importaut to the United States. He declares, too, that this British scheme uas never been abandoned, and that her majesty’s government is only waiting an op- portunity to put it into execution, regardless of the Monroe doctrine, Itis not insignificant that tho bresident of tho company is Sir Edward Jenkiuson, K. C. B., and that the gouoral manager is Hon. Edward Brule, the last of tho historic Scot- tish lLine. e MRS, PARNELL GIV just Charles An civil gineor who re vp.
