Great Britain denies that right. It maintains that this body of water beyond the shore li .lit is an open sen and hence free to flu' world. Faoli govern ment fails to convince the other of the validity of its claim. Arbitration is. si greed upon. Fending the settle ment neii her is expected to exercise itsclaimod right with out the consent of the other. It is mutually agreed that sealing lie stopped. Accor dingly there was no sealing to speak of last: year. But the question in dispute is not yet settled. The agree ment to stop sealing was for last season only. Ih is as im portant now as it wasa year ago that some .-irrangement touching the respective claim of the tw.) governments be agreed upon for the coming season. Lord Salisbury re fuses to renew last year's modus vivendi. He declines to keep Canadian sealers out of Beh ring Sea. lie suggests that they can be required to j jr-j ve b 0'n d s to the United states to pav lor the seals tln-v catch if "the arbitrators final! v decide in favor of the United States. AVir York Ih'rald. Siltcr Ifefmt J. For the past week the question of free silver has oc cupied all the attention of the House. Many speiihes were lnad" on both sides of th question, and opponents of the measure hacl ecu ex ceedingly aetive.Tho debate closed Thursday afternoon, and after an exciting session pr ilonged until midnight, ti e Hoii" adjourned without ((fining to a vote. This prac tically kills the' bill for the present, .as a new order must be passed before" it .can be a gain considered. Politically Thursday's vote shows thatTree silver has in Congress more Democratic than it has Republican ad herents, the Democratic mem bershavingcast votes for Mr. Bland's bill nml the Re publicans only 1"), while a gainst it were 8(5 Democrats (52 Republicans. A significant fact about the action of the House on Thursday is the distinctly sectional character which it Icmoi'strates of the support of free silver coinage. The motion to lay Mr. Bland's bill on the table recieved the votes of the entire Congress delegation of the New Eng land States, those of all the represon t a ti ves from New York except, one and with a few exceptions those of the representatives from all the other States north of Ohio River and east of the Missis sippi, with the addition of Iowa and California. On the other hand, the representa tives of the Southern, South western, and extreme West ern Statf-s. except. California and Washington, east their votes solidly in defence of the bill. Charlotte Democrat. The State Tiili.et. It is to be hoped, of course, that the fears of any great desertion from the ranks of the Democratic patty of this State to the third party will not ha fulfilled; and we are in clined to think they will not be. The move to cause such desertion is one to arouse hostility in t ho breast of eve ry Allianceman who became such as many of them did, w ith the distinct understand ing that there was to be no politics in the organization; that it had nothing to do, and would ha ve nothing to do with any man's political preferences. Now that the Third party movement has been made to appear as a growth out of the Alliance and one thatt he Alliancemen should support, the political independence of .he members of that order lias neverthe less not been changed, and if they are the men we think they iire will resent the inti mation that their a'.legience can be transfered by any one man, however strong hisora ving for office may be. More over the members of the Alli ance in North Carolina do not need to be told of the pe lil they stand in if they aid in the defeat of democratic par ty in this State which has nothing to do with the prin ciples the Third party mana gers say they are striving to effect, as reforms by means of national legislation. Therefore the members of the Alliance want, as an ear- Iiest of the desire, ot the Deiii ocratic party to go with it ir; battle for reform, a represen t.itionlon the State ticket, we do not see why they should have it, provided a stand if made on a straight Demo cratic platform, all wool and a full yard in width. AsLv ville Citizt-n. When the Xntionnl Demo crat tidied the Hon. John Henderson's Attention to tie claims made by the Alliance leaders in North Carolina, he said: "As I understand the situation, the Alliance lead ers claim that they will con trol the State convention, a- d jpt the St. Louis platform and instrucUtlie delegates to the National. Convention to offer the platform in that convention, and in the event, of its certain rejection, retire. Well, it can't be done. It will be a Democratic Stiite con vention. The St. Louis plat form will not be adopted, and theChiongodclogation will be straight Democrats. I know something nboutthe strength (tf the Democratic party in North Carolina; something of its organization and its pow er. It will nbAer go to piec es on the lines indicated by the Third party leaders. There are no signs of disinte gration. Its mission is not yet ended. It iscomposed of brave and courageous men, who cannot be alarmed by clamor. I have reason to be hove that the Allianceasan or gunization will not support any third party scheme. The second sober thought will mid North Carolina in this e meigeney, as it has always lone. Unmask thenew lead ers, and let the people once understand thier purpose, correctly apprehend the con sequences, and that wll end it. Our people are fully ap prized of the movement and the peril that threatens the party. They will be prep a r for it when for it when the State contention meets, They are not yet whipped, nor verv seriously a'avmed. National Democrat. The Farmer's Alliancelead ers in Minnesoto are prepar ing to follow the example of their brethren in Kansas, and unite with the Democrats in the coming State and nation al elections. The basis for a fusion is for Democrats to support an Alliance ir.'tn for Governor, and divide the Presidential electors, giving five of the nine to the Demo crats. At the last election in 181)0 the Democrats polled So.SOi, the Republicans 88. 111 and the Alliance 58,5U. The union, therefore, if car ried out, would give" an anti Republican majority of over 50,000. Ex. The Vi tue of Hot MtTk. It is worthy of reiteration that milk heated to as high a temperature as it can be drank or sipped, above 100 degrees, but not to the boil ing point, is of great value as a refreshing stimulant in cases of over exertion, bodily or mental. To most people who like milk, it does not taste so good hot, but that is a small matter compared with the, Henetft to be gotten from it. Its action is exceed ingly prompt and grateful, and the effects much more satisfactory and far more lasting than those of any al coholic drink whatever. It supplies real strength as well us exhilaration, which alco hol never does. Ex. . ,i -r"''''
