TIE FISHERY QUESTION:

FOLLOWING close upon the strong language of
the Presidents message concerning our Cana
dian relations, in which he declares that it
will be his duty, in case of the forfeiture of
any United States fishing vessel under the
Dominion statutes, to adopt measures for
obtaining redress and to prevent such out
RACES in the future, comes the announce
ment that fishing schooner seized last June
has actually been forfeited with her stores.
cargo, etc., for violation of the treaty of
1918 and the Canadian fishery laws. OF
course, there may have been circumstances
that made this forfeiture justifable, but the
probabilities are that it was made under the
Canadian construction OF the treaty and
under the statutes the President COM
plains Of as desiguedly unfriendly to
the United States. This is certainly
case that demands the attention
of our Government, and it probably affords
as good an opportunity as ever will be offered
to bring the whole fishery controversy to a
direct issue, and to secure its settlement
upon basis that will admit of no misunder-
standings in the future. According to the
despatch from Toronto, published this morn
ing, the Canadian papers discuss the Presi-
dents message in rather bellicose strain,
but as the peaceful policy uniformly pur-
sued by our Government has never impressed
our northern neighoors with that respect
which can only be born of fear, this sort of
thing may be looked for until both England
and Canada receive undisputed evidence that
the United States are determined to be trihed
with no longer. We have not only the fish
cry question but a number of other matters
of controversy with England and Canada,
and the present is probably as good time
to settle all our disputes as can
be found. England is now on the verge of
a war with Russia that will demand all her
energies, and she has a wsll-defned fear,
founded upon the performances of the Ala
baua, that in the event of a contest the SYM
pathies Of the people if not of the Govern
ment of the United States will be actively
manifested in a manner that will do more
damage to English property than will the
arms of the Russians. We commend to tho
attention of our readers the editorial from

OBITUARY.
UHE II y HHk n
General Hiram Waibridget

General Hiram Waibridge.
Yesterday afternoon General Hiram Walbridge,
a well-Snown politician and business man, died in
New York city. His native place was Ithaca N. Y,
where he was born February 2, 1891. He was con-
sequenty only IN his 6fteth year at the time OF his
death, When young he commenced life by learning
a mechanical trade, but afterwards pursued an eX-
tensve course OF studies in the University OF Ohio
For number OF years he took an active interest in
the military affairs of that State, and when only
twenty three years OF age, was elected brigsder-
general OF the Ohio militia. Subsequently he re-
moved 10 New York. aud was there elected
to Congress in 1858. During his life he
held many prominent business and other positions,
among which may be mentioned the presidency Of
the Detroit Commercial Convention. General Wal
bridge was at various times connected with many OF
the largest railroad enterprises, aud as business
man very successful. Ha was equally interested
In politics and was a good, hard-working Republican.
His name was mentioned In connection with the
official position OF Secretary OF State when it was
rumored last summer that the present incu umbent,
Hamilton Fish, was about to resign.

Hour Of Danger" which we publish to-day on
our second page; and it will readily be seen
that the situation is thought TO be extremely
critical, aud that the approach Of the storms
al guilty conscience imagines to be arising
in the West as well os in tho East are viewed
with anything but feelings of pleasure
by those who wished the destruction
of the American Union, and who aided
to bring it about by every means in their
power except open warfare. What we have
not been able to obtain from British mag
nanimity and justice we may possibly extort
from British fear, and it is both proper and
Just that we should take advantage of the
present situation to press our claims in such
a manner that Great Britain will be obliged
to settle them satisfactorily or else repudiate
them and take the consequences.
From the tone of the Presidents message
we may expect him to take prompt action in
regard to the forfeiture of the fishing schooner
mentioned above, and if he does 80 he should
receive the emphatic support of Congress aud
of the people.

QUESTION or RANK.-It Is reported that Couut
Won Moltke is not to be overlooked IN making field
marshals Of those who have rendered great service
in this But his elevation to this rank Is not to
take place until Paris yields to his genius. There
Is dificuty to know what to do for Count Won Bis
marck. Already count, already head OF Prussia,
and soon to be leader OF all Germany there remains
no further honor but TO make him prince; and one
OF the many stories and guesses In circulation on
this subject is that he was to be made Prince OF
Asace; but this he would not have, because 1t

KEEPERS AND BUILDERs.-What the community have
long wanted is good Cooking Range, suitable for
summer as well as winter Mr. j. S. Clark, No. 1908
Market street, has, after many years of practical
experimenting, perfected such Range 1t has two
cylipders-one for summer and the other for winter
which can easily be adjusted, and give but little
heat In the kitchen in summer, whilst in winter it
will heat three rooms comfortably. 1t bakes boils
roasts and heats the water all at the same time. 1t
is perfectly air-tight gas consumer, and requires
but half the amount OF coal OF any other range in
use 1t keeps fire for greater length OF time, and
is perfect model in every respect. Everybody
should see this Range at the warerooms OF the
patentee j. s. CLARK No. 1908 Market street, all
who about to purchase will be cony nced or its
superior advantages.
