It appears that the United States, Government, acting on behalf of the North American Commer. cial Company, has demanded a euspension of sealing Operations in the open sea during the present season anda joint conference of the powers tothe end that additional regulations for the protection of seals S*imming in the open sea may be adopt- ed. This demand is tacked up by the statement that the seal fisheriesof the open sea are depleted. Lord Salisbury replied that this statement is not supported by the report of the experts appointed to investi- gate the matter;and therefore he declined to acceed to the request. Secretary Sberman’s de*patch was the result of this reply. In any case the uncourteons language of -the despatch is un- justifiable. But the question ie, was Lord Salisbury’s decision right right or wrong? Have the powers an eqjuitab‘e right to interfere with the legiti- mate business of men operating upon the The Paris Tribunal has decided that sealing in Behring Sea, outside certain limite, is a legitimate business. British justice affords to private individu- als pursuing a legitimate tusiness the is high seas? consistent with the public interest; and Lord Salis- bury hesitates, even when requested to do so by the Government of the United States, to take sealers operating in Behritng Sea by the throat and compel them to desist from their lawful occupation.

Sir.—There are certain people, good people no doubt, who say, becanse the Act ix not enforced, “abolish it.’ Now Jet me sy this, the fault is not with the law but with the enforcera of it. Our Jeaders have beeome stumbling blocks whose inaction smacks Strongiy of cowardice, inability or treason, The old time-worn cry, “the people ‘are not yet ready for it” is an insult to the intelligent people of P. HE. Island. The state should now brand the traffi: as infamous and people should elect: men whose bonor aod conscience say “you must enforce the law.” Cowards may say “you are going too fast.” But the bome, humanity, civilization demand immediate action. How many more hearts must be broken ? How many more babes starved ? How many more women must have the light of Jove and hope taken ont of their lives? How many mo e fathers and husban Is and sons mast ve cffered up on the altar of this devilish license system and other com- promises, before the Chri-tian people will stand shoulder to shoulder, and for wife aud babes and friends and home cry *Cowards out of the way!

MAKERS. “Sovereign” true to | SCOTT ACT MEETING IN GRACE CHURCH LAST NIGHT. The Rev. W. J. Kirby presided at the meeting last night in Grace Church and ministers of the city were on the platform Afier praver and the reading of the Scriptures, Mr. F. S. Spence was intro- duced and delivered another of his exc el- lent aldreases, He referred tothe fact that the temperance people did not bring on this fight, but were now on the defen- sive. The attack is from the liquor element, andtheir reason is because the Scott Act makes it hard to get the boys, and the business can po more be run with- out the boys than a steam engine can run without wood or coal. Ot all his acquaint- ances in Toronto he could pot remember one family which had not suffered to some degree frow this curse. The ermine of ‘h jad e nthe bench an! the gown of the niluister ia the pulptt have been drag sed in the mud_of public opprubrium avd scorn, A good deal is said about Britisi liberty —but the liquor sellers want more thao this. British liberty means liberty to do what is right, and legislation for what, is wrong. A man is at liberty to do what be pleases, as long as he pleases to do what is right A man’s liberty to swing his arm goes just as far as his arm does not come in contact with his neighbor's nose. A good deal had been said about the grain grownio Canada for whiskey making, but upon ap investigation it Was found that whiskey was made from coru and that Was imported trom the States. The refuse of the hogs are fed and sold to Eng- lishmen, and the liquor makes hogs of Canadians, In Canada: the annual con- sumption of liquor per head is four and one-half gailon-; in the States, 17 gallons; in Great Britain 30 gallons; in Germany, 32 gallons. Ocher Europan nations drisk as much as Great Britain. In Caneds we drink less than one quarter of the amounts consumed by the soberest vaticn. Government statistics - showed that Briti-h Columbia consumes 8 gallons per head; Oncario, 6; Manitoba, 4; Quebec, 2; N. BR. and N.S., 1% each, P. E. I. only three-quarters of a gallon per head, and this is a@ province entirely under Scort Ac . To say this Jaw gives rise to perjury is the greate-t absurdity { know. It might be true if the perjury was on the temper- ance side but it isail on the liquor side. Perjury is committed ov the rumseller and the miserable cowards who try to shield them. A note was sent up to the platform which Mr. Spence read relating that a mother of three children had attempied suicide, and was cut down in time to save her life, as a result of a drunken husband. An eye-witness sent up the item. Will we support a business which does that ? Never! Let us be true, aud on the 22na show that we are against such a bnsi- ness, and the rescue of the youth, broken- hearted wives and mothers. ‘There not a siogle instance in which the Scott Act has heen repealed where it has had a fair chance. Don’t Jet this fair city of Charlottetown take the downward slep. is _-— iP -<>—aa SECRETARY SHERVANS LETTER. * Another little ganie of home politics,” is the verdict whicn nine out of every teu Englishmen pass upon the otherwise in- comprehensible Behring Sea Sherman despatch. A London despatch to the Montreal Star says: Silver is politically ata discount, and eo far as it depend+ou Hnglish co-operation is certain to remain eo. The seals mast, therefore, be pnt ata premium. Happily the lead ng New York journals outspoken criticism of the upmannerly tone of the despatch relieves the Englishmen of show- ing serious resentment in this oppressive- ly hot weather, an? John Ball is hurrying away to seaside enjovments asseured that the whole affair wiil blow over as quickly as it arose. Ta official circles here there is quiet eon- fidence that the investigations now being made by the British experts, Professors D’Arcy Thompson and Barrett Hamilton will confirm the belief that the reports of the destrnctiveness of pelagic sealing are considerab'y exaggerated. There is no sign of depacture from the present British stand til) these further reports are receiv - ed.

Spain Growing Tirea of the Cuba A special to the New York Journal from Havana says: Hasana Span ards are confident that diplomatic relations between Spain and tne Uv. ited States will be broken ¢‘hortly after General Woodward, Mr. Mckinley’s new minister, reaches Madrid. Many, in leed, believe that an open declarations of war would at least enable Spain to retire from Cuba with hooor after # brief siraggle with the Americans. War once declared, Wey- ler, it is estimated, would embark the bulk of hia army upon the pretext that h> propo-ed invading Florida. If able to effect a landing in Key We-t, he would undeubtedly sack and burn the towa and putevery inhabitant, man woman and child, to the aword, then evacua e the port and sail awayto Spain. La Lucha, in a insignificant: article noting the unusual activity of Spanish arsenals, both at home and here, thus comments on possible hoa tilitvs with the United State-: “Such a war, whatever its result, would be b-tter for Spain than cop ipved interstrife, For- eign wars areje tier wou or lo-t,aod in the end, upon reme solid basis peace is restor- ed.
