On the one hand it is contended by the English diplomats that no expanse of water like the sea. in question is ever looked upon by nations as private property, whereas it is urged by Mr. Blaine on the part of the Umted States that the fishing ground is theirs, that until recently the claims of the English and Can- adian sealers have never been ad- vanced, and that some restriction must be made or the seal fishery Will be altogether destroyed.‘ to the Behring Sea difliculty had been sent by the officials of the same two countries fifty years ago people would say that war was inevitable. It really looks as it friendly relations were strained, but as the dispute is between two of the most enlightened nations there is yet good ground to hope' for an amicable settlement. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, Aug. 7 , ’90 It the correspondence which has recently passed between Lord bal- jsbury and Mr. Blaine in reference Auction Sale-Jones Brothers & Mackenzie. $2000 Rewardâ€"Josiah Renmzm. Clerk's Noticeâ€"John Stephenson. Changeâ€"Will D. Atkinson; In both countries political exigen- CleS seem to stand in the way of helping on the settlement. In Eng- land it has been said by those in op. position to the Salisbury govern- ment that the United States has not been treated with that courtesy which a neighboring and friendly country should expect, and Mr. Blaine’s opponents in his own coun- try are tantalizing him for taking steps which he will have to retnace. 4 It would seem that the only way out of the difficulty will be by arbi~ tration. No reasonable person can object to this mode, and all who are not possessed of the jingo element to a great‘exlent will admit that this is iar'more honorable than to run the risk of being brought into a deadly war where thousands of lives might be sacrificed. Surely neither country wants more than justice, and they are tar more likely to get it by arbitration than by going to war. Fighting is the last thing to be re- sorted to, as in this there IS nothing to gain and much to lose. Experâ€" ience has often taught that Justice is not obtained by such a bloody course, but merely that the weak side is forced to succumb to a more powerful enemy. The horrors of war are too well known, and in this case it is more than likely that the problem will be solved without loss of lite. In the York Herald’s Valedictory last week there must have been an errorin the figures. It says that the proprietor, Mr. Keefler, took possession of the paper in I867. This is incorrect. This date would show that Mr. Keefler had possessâ€" ion for 23} years, and 111s predecessor only 8years. Mr. Scott was proâ€" prietor from 1859 to 1876, Mr. Keefler assuming control V at the iatter date. @112 fiib‘cral.
