I FINE PERFUMES A Parvin's 12th-st Drug Store. Dally Journal. PabllsUed every day In the week (except Monday) D. PRATT. per Annum, SO OO Price per Month, 50 SATURDAY MOEOTNG, MAY 9.

AN ABSURD CLAIM. The Pharos, aided by the Prohibition organ, is engaged in an amusing attempt to convince its readers that the Republican party is the only simon pure whisky party in the city. That the absurd attempt will fail to fool one is apparent. The Republican party twice in city affairs has passed resolutions in favor of law and and has always' stood for high license. In securing that result the members of the council Toted solidly and the independence of three of the seven Democrats secured that result Of the.

saloon men at least 95 per cent, are Democrats. It is claimed that the saloon men voted for Mr. Webster; that they passed resolutions by a vote of 45 to to Mr. Read in order to show compliance with the demands of their own party and afterwards secretly supported Mr. Webster.

This is not so. There is nothing in the result to'indi- it. Mr. Webster undoubtedly receive i the labor vote and if the Pharos means that vote ty its reference to saloon b-ms that supported Mr. Webster it should have the courage to so express it.

Journal can that reflection emphatically. As iar as character and habit are concerned Mr. Webster's is fully as good as his opponents. any saloon mau voted for Mr. Webster it was because he pref take his medicine from the party he expgcted it from, rather than from the party to which he had xjontributed liberally in campaign times and for which he had helped to furnished a majority.

The Republican party is always fflad to get votes but it is not foolish enough to get one hundred saloon votes in a city election by a promise which would it, two hundred or in a presidential election to follow It is not foolish enough to sacrifice its position for transient success. The object of the Pharos is apparent. It is apparent that it expect sMr. Read if he occupies the'office to enforce the law. The Journal has always expected him to try to do so if elected, but gives him no especial credit on that account over any other man who -would do the same thing.

When the Democratic convention comes out fair- ly'and squarely on that issue the question will he forever settled and no one aither Democrat, Prohibitionist or Republican for a moment believes any That party alone has wavered on the question. IT is said that Mr. Swadener is making himself very conspicuous in gathering up material from which to form the groundless work for a contest over the mayoralty The Pharos seems very much afraid a contest, Swadener has simply been doing what any Republican should do. It is. right that Mr.

Webster should know the nature of the 55 votes thrown out. When that infor- mation'is gathered if he has been counted out he will contest. The Journal does not think that he wasln- tentionally wronged in the count anywhere but a different rule-at different precincts resulted in counting Democratic tickets at one precinct and throwing Republican than Democratic in others when the same error was commuted. The Pharos can rest assured that there will be no contest on technical grounds. THE Journal demands a partisan management of the water works The Journal does not.

It simply believes that there are aa many noa- partisan Republicans in Logansport as there are non-partisan Democrats capable of filling' the Heretofore the office has been filled entirely by Democrats. Restricting Immigration. The immigration officers at New York are vigorously enforcing: the Owen law, which foreign, steamship companies undertook to ignore. A few fines and some resolute action have brought them to terms, and they will be very careful hereafter not to bring paupers here from Europe, since they will be compelled to take them Journal.

The New York Recorder seems to labor under the illusion that the Hon. Rufus Magee of this State, is a Republican.

Such is not the case. He is a Democrat who likes to be regarded as better than his party. In Indiana a Democrat can be politically better than his party, and yet be a badish man in Journal. Money Is CHeau. They have plenty or money in Argentinia, The hungerers for cheap money should go there.

Arbitration Would Be Satisfactory to Uncle Sam, But the Seals Must Be Protected. ENGLAND'S CLAIMS KEFUTED. WASHIXGTOS, Blaine has gfiven to the public a letter which he has sent to Minister Paunce- fpte on the Bearing sea controversy. It confirms what has heretofore been stated about the willingness the United Htaties to submit 'Us claims to arbltratCiJn, but not on tie misleading grounds laid down by Lord Salisbury. Mr.

Blaine makes it clear that the closed sea theory' which Prof. Elliott and other advocates of the late Alaska Fur Company have so persistently advanced forms no part of the national demand. On the contrary, it is specifically abandoned as untenable. This disposes of all arguments advanced by Lord Salisbury on the assumption that the United States claimed the right to consider Behrinff sea a closed sea because Russia, by a ukase issued in 1821 (which the United States itself vig-orously contested) so declared it. Mr.

Blaine rests his argument on the broader ground of public welfare and proposes that the arbitrators shall determine how far, if at all, outside the ordinary territorial limits -it is necessary that the United States shall exercise an exclusive jurisdiction in order to protect the seals for the time being living and breeding on the islands of the United States and proceeding therefrom in search of food. He also submits to arbitration the question of prescribing 1 a term for seal hunting and the limits over which it should extend. Supplementing instances, already quoted in the correspondence, where Great Britain, as in the case of the Ceylon pearl fisheries, exercises by common consent exclusive jurisdiction many miles from shore, Mr. Blaine asks one very happy aiid pertinent question from British laws enacted barely two yeajrs ago, by wbich the British, government astumes to exercise fishing jurisdictions over 2,700 square miles of water off the coast of Scotland outside the usual maritime jurisdiction, and he adroitly paraphrases the language of this act and applies it to the seal fisheries of the Pribiloff islands.
