Correction,


Through one of those mishaps to which all
newspapers are more or less liable, an article
containing list of alleged defaulters-which
was cut from the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald,
but not intended for insertion in this paper
found its way into our copy box, and made its
appearance in our issue of Tuesday, the Goth
instant, much to our vexation and regret We
therefore most cheerfully comply with request
made by accounting officers of the Treasury
Department to say that Mr.. NATHANIEL F.
WILLIAMS, whose name was in the list refer
red to, is not defaulter, but, on the con-
trary, had balance due him on the books of
the Department when his accounts were closed.
We also with equal pleasure, to prevent pos
slb'e misapprehension, state, by request, that
ISAAC HOLMES, represented as defaulter in
the published list, is not the Hon. ISAAC
EDWARD HoLMLs, formerly a member of the
House Of Representatives from Charleston,
South Carolina, The statement is also erro-
neous as regards Major Scorr of this city, and
doubtless Of others; and we deem it proper to
disavow any intention to endorse it or give it
currency. Its publication in our columns was
simply an accident.

John @. Adams ON tho Convention OF 1918.
JOHN @. ADAMS, who was Secretary of State
| at the date Of the last Convention between
fisheries, has left the following as his construc-
ton Of the treaty which now forms the basis Of
dispute. The instruction to Mr.. GALLATIN,
one Of the Commissioners, was to claim for the
United States all the rights recognised in the
treaty of 1888; and it will be seen that Mr..
ADAMS considered that our representatives had
secured the whole coast fishery in every part
OF the British domnions, except within three
marine miles of their shores: 49,.
"The convention restricts the liberties in some
small degree; but II enlarges them probably in a
degree not less useful II has secured the whole
coast fishery Of every part Of the British dominons,
except within three marine miles Of the shores,
with the liberty Of using all the harbors for shelter,
for repairing damages, and for obtaining wood
and water. Rhas secured the full participation in
the Labrador fishery, the most important part Of
the whole, and that of which II was at Client pecu-
iiarly the intention of the British government at
all events to deprive Us. This fishery cannot be
prosecuted without the use of the neighboring
shores for drying and curing the fish. 1t chiefly
carried on in boats close to the shores and the loss
OF it, even If the rest had been left unaffected by
the sumo principle. would have been q loss of more
than half of the whole interest. The convention
has also secured to US the right of drying and cur
ing fish on part Of the island Of Newfoundland
which bad not been enjoyed under the treaty Of
1888. 1t has narrowed down the pretensinns Of
exclusive territorial jurisdiction, with reference to
those fisheries, to three marine miles from the
shores. Upon the whole, I consider this interest
as secured by the convention of 1918 in manner
as advantageous as it had been by the convention
of 1888. We. have gained by it, even of fishing
liberties, as much as have Loaf; but if not, we
have gained practically the benefit of the principle
that our liberties In the fisheries recognised by tho
treaty of 1888 were not aorogated by the war Of
1912"

poses, and prove by its wonderful effects upon the
human system, TO be the GREATEST BLOOD
PURIFIER in the world.
Most diseases have their origin in impurities Of
the blood, morbid and inactive state OF the lrer,
and the great difficulty heretofore has been, that
the various 'bood purifiers Of the day, have only
had a tendency TO reduce the blood and substitute
AN dcrid tcdtcry fud-whch must necessarily en-
gender dsease-reduce the vital powers. and pros
trate the whole nervous system. This no doubt has
been experienced by thousands, and the fact be-
coming well known TO every close observer, as
well as to many eminent physicians.
The BITTER CORDIAL and BLOOD PURI-
FER acts entirely different upon the system
While it acts gently upon the LIVER, sufficient TO
remove the impure or poisonous secretons, IT acts
also as fine TONIC TO the stomach causing COM
