SEAL EXPERTS STATEMENTS-

Ir is declared in the official statement of the experts, made at Washington, a few days ago “ that the herd is not in danger of actual extermination 30 loug as its haunts on land are protected, and the protected zone is maintained.” It serted that the experts state that * pelagic sealing has of late fallen off in

is as- also

greater ratio than the herd, thus producing atendency towards equilibrium in num- bers.” Ifthese statements be true, there ig apparently for the Americans declaration that pelagic seal-

vo good ground ing must be stopped ia order that the seal industry may be preserved. Whai seems to be needed is enforcement of the provi- sions and directions of the Paris award.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER’S POSITION.

Tue New York Sun publishes a despatch covering an interview with Sir Charles Tupper. Sir Charles ia reported as saying:

** Reciprocity ie no vearer accomplish- ment than it was before Sir Wilfrid came to this country a week ago. Ido not see how it can be. I don’t see how Sir Wilfrfi can effect anything. His tripto Washington was the outcome of my criticism of nis speech made when he announced his policy of making a treaty with England granting the Mother Country special tariff orivileges. Asamember of the Opposition I pointed out that under Enyland’s favored nation treaties, Ger- maay, Belgium and Holland would have to be included in any arrangement with Canada providing special! tariff privileges for England. Such being the case, the United States might as well be included, and that, I think, is why Sir Wilfrid went to Washington. I would be glad to see a good feeling between Ottawa and London and Washington, and whether I shall op- pose Sir Witfrid’s policy wita regard to the United States will depend upon the nature of the arrengemets he may prepare as a result of his negotiations with Wash- ipgtou.”

The position adopted by !Sir Charles Tupper is & reasonably safe one. Every- thing will depend upen the nature of the arrangement arrived at by the Government of Canada and the United States. If the arrangement should prove to be a good one, calculated to enlarge our trade without costing too much or prejudicing our ex~ isting relations with the Mother Country, we shall all applaud it.

CASE OF THE MAGDALENS.

Tue Patriot makes a personal matter of the charges preferred against the Minister of Marine and Fisheries in respect to the refusal of his department to afford relief to the destitute Magdalen Islanders. We have to aay that the information afforded by Tue Examiner came from a highly creditable and respectable gentleman—one who is not likely tospeak in such a case without good cause—and that his language respecting the conduct of Sir Louis Davies was very much stronger than that employ- ed by Taz Examiner. It is poasible—per- haps we shoald say probable—that Sir Louis Davies was not personally apprised of the situation at the Magdalens, and that the ungracious refusals complained of are due to his subordinate officers. The time of Sir Louis Davies has lately, we all kaow, been pretty fully oceupied by the cousideration of Imperial and international questions of nominal importance. All the same he is, as every One is aware,to be heid personally and officially responsible for the atte of his department. But for so holding bimin the case of the Magdalen Islanders, Toe Examiner is denounced as “mean.” The meanness in the case cousists rather in the attempt of the Patriot to fasten upon a contemporary, doing its duty to the public, a groundless charge. very reader must have seen thet we intended no reflection upon the personal characters of Sir Louis Davies aud of Lady Davies. The Patriot had much better employ itself in working up

nearly $10,000,000 since it took hold. Yet

—As tothe Pope’s reply to the appeal of Messrs. Laurier, Tarte & Co, a special despatch from Winnipeg to the Mail and Empire reports that “ the people generally are indifferent to the report, taking it for granted that the question is settled as far as Manitoba is couceraed,”

—It is we!! for Hon. Mr. Tarte that he is not within Archbishop Cleary’s juris- diction. Ata public meeting held in Torontoa few vights ago he said ‘**Let us educate our children together. More than that, let us mourn our dead together, and carry them to tbeir last resting place shoulder to shoulder.” It is to be re- membered that Mr. Tarte is just now stumping Centre Toronto on behalf of the Governmeat of Sir Wilrrid Laurier.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Gazette: The firm of Laurier, Mowat and Victory has been dissolved, the second partner retiring to take a situa- tion where the remuneration is higher and the prospects of lengthened occupation better.

Montreal Gaze't: Mr. Cameron, attorn- ney-generalin the Greenway Government says, in connection with the Pope’s reported decision,that the opposition of the Manitoba minority to the public schools system has apparently rather increased than diminished since the settlement. In other words, the more the Catholics see of it the less thevlikeit; This attitude is not much to be wondered at. The firet object ef the “«dtt ment” was to make the anti-separate-school McCarthyite constitu eocy of Brandon safe for Mr. Sifton, the Laurier Minister of the Interior.

APPENDICLTIs.

More Comron “han Formerly— Its Nature and Cause,

Not

Judging from the reports so frequently mide in the daily prese, it would appear that appendicitis is not ooly on the inerease bat that it seems to bave a especial pre- dilection for prominent persons, Contrary to popular behef, however, it is no

more fr quent noc elective in its occur- rence thea formerly. Jt is simply a new name for the very old and very common trouble known as peritonitis, or inflam- mation of the bowels, which, until lately aud before operative treatmeut was in- stituted, always ended in death.

The trouble having been traced to the

ulceration or rupture of an iotlamed anpendix, causing the fatal peritonitis, the early removal of tne diseased organ ba‘urally suggests the proper line of,treat- meni. It is, perhaps, net generally known by the public that the various foreigu bodies, such as grape seeds, cherry pitsand the covcretions usually feund in the appendix, are merely accidental conse- quences of the inflammation rather than causes of it,

To such as never eat a grape withont a certain misgiviog, it may be comfoiting to lara that it is avery rare circumstance to tind a seed of the fruit lodged in the appendix. In fact, it is now proven that, aside trom the intestinal concretions which reaily form in the organ after the latier becomes diseased, there is scarcely an average proportion of 3 per cent. in which foreign bodies, distinctively so call - ed, are discovertd,. That these accidental or deposited subetances are not absolutely necessary for the produ stion of the: iseas’, is shown by their entiie absence in a goodly number of the most severe cases. Among the latter may be mentioned a recent instance which has claimed much public attention.

The real cause cf the disease is associa - ted with the destructive tendencies ofa peculiar microbe called thecolen biciliue. which always exists in the mtestine, aid is absolutely barmless until an it famm- tion or injary of the appendix gives it an opportunity for the development of malig- nant qualities, The microbes thea mnuitiply with great rapidity, penetrate the walls of the weakened organs, intensify the inflammation and finally escape into the abdominal cavity by ulceratiou or rupture of the tube, thus producing the fatal or

etic peritonitis. - New York Herald.
