Pharaoh was always supposed to have found ont
rather rough way of checking the superiluous pau
per population when he ordered the midwives to
choke off every Hebrew man-child that found ITS
unlucky way into the world; but John Bull has
taken the hint from him and improved on it, 1t APP
pears that the lower class Of women british sub
jects) in Gibraltar are largely intermaned with
Spaniards, and, to prevent the increase OF Aliens
any such woman on being found enceine is driven by
law off the Rock to take refuge in Spain, Morocco or
the sea- which she pleases; and the women are as
a rule, wretchedy poor, refuge is as short
road usually to the grave the other. In case Of
disregard of this statute, the husbands and
wives are instantly banshed the city, their homes
broken up and in many cases starvation ensues
Bishop Scandella reports. during the last year,
"many hundreds Of families foully wronRed by this
law" and, as consequence Of it, that the marriage
ceremony has come to be almost given up among
this class; and on the other hand, many infants
born in secret are destroyed by their parents to IN
sure their own safety We have not yet heard
whether the English Government means to try tins

THE FISHERY QUESTION AMONG FRIENDS


The Anglo-American Association is an or
ganization recently established i'll London
{" for the purpose Of obtaining the best Sc
"curities for the maintenance of friendly
understanding. and for the cultivation OF
"mOre cordial relations between the United
States and Great Britain Its Chairman is
Mr. Thomas Hughes; and among its prom
incnt members are Prof. Balm of Aberdeen,
Lord Borthwick, Sir Il. FOwell Buxton, Prof.
Cairnes, Sir G.. W. Dixie, the Hon. +. Leve-
son Cover, Mr. Vernon IIarcourt, Lord HO-
bart Lord Houghton, the Earl of Lichfeld,
John Morley editor of The FortaighAy ReCie,c,
A. j. Mundela, Capt. Sherard Osborne, Prof.
Thorold Rogers, Herbert Spencer, and An
thony Trollope. 1t speaks for most of the best
life of England. Literature the professions,
trade, politics, arc all represented in it, and
the list of names now before us includes
twenty-five or thirty members of Parliament
The means by which the Association purposes
carrying out its laudabe end is sensible and
practical. 1t is almost always easy to compose
quarrel as soon as the opposing parties can
be brought to understand each others position,
and the work of the Association will for the
present be devoted to the publication of care
fully prepared statements of the questions at
issue between the two countries, with a view
to correcting the loose and angry statements
and varied misinformatiOn which abound on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The first fruit of this undertaking is n
pamphlet on the Fishery Question, containing
a summary Of all the admitted facts in the case,
a review of the provisions of international and
municipal law bearing upon it, and a temperate
synopsis of the British view of the right That
view of course is different from ours ; but
everybody will approve the tone and spirit in
which it il presented, and will applaud the
recommendation of the Committee to which
| the preparation of the pamphlet was intrusted,
"that these questions should now be settled
"by the negotiation of a new treaty" or else
4" that all matters thus in dispute should be
"settled by arbitration" If the proposal to
establish similar Association in this country
should be accepted, we are satisfied that the
adjustment of our international disputes would
be greatly facilitated, and we should be spared
the mischief of wild vaporings about war which
we have no wish to make, and so far no ex-
cuse for making.

The clamor for mems rights in England is begin
ming TO wax vehement that among the other
sex for theirs. The system Of marriage settlements,
which custom had made rigorous as law, has long
made the British wife among the upper and middle
classes in great measure independent of her bus
band. The property which woman brought to her
husband was by common consent set apart and pre-
served intact as dOwries FOR her daughters Now,
however, John Bull, goaded by the taunts Of Lady
Amberley and her followers declares his intention
of giving them all the independence they ask. and
something more. The Examiner proposes that the
dowry of the daughters shall be given them here
after in the shape of profession trade, instead
of the usual money Here is nice test for the reality
of their wrongs Would it could be applied here
We oil know that, in the present emergency, Ameri-
can women need new kinds of work to
supply them with bread and butter; but
if bread and butter were sure, how many
Of them would clamor for the work. Take out the
notoriety seeking sisterhood, who represent our
women as much as Newly ring-masters represent
the mass of honest men in the country, and how
many of our girls would set aside neat sum in gov
ernment bonds OF rentals for diploma as NJ. d. OF
the free use of the adze hammerg Put their fate
for life into Portals caskets and ten in dozen would
take their chance ont of the gold and silver chests
aud thrust the dull lead aside. It may be necessity
for woman to earn her living it certainly is not al
object of her general desire

We have another rumor of the Tennessee

as when seen or supposed to have been seen
by the Mary Baker 1t is impossible to form
any conclusions from this report, and we must

Now that Peace in France seems assured, it is a
favorte occupation of certain papers, abroad and at
home to " guess' at the terms which Germany will
insist on, and of which, a matter of course, they
know nothing The Paris Figaro is the last of these
to make itself absurd by naming as one of the con-
dtions that the Germans are to keep tho war mate
rails captured by them. This conjecture has more
probability than sagacity in it. IL now the Figaro
had added that there is TO be no restoration Of the
burnt powder which France has vanly expended,
the involuntary satire on our neighbors would have
been complete.

Our Canadian friends in Parliament assem-
bled do not talk very good naturally about
the Fishery difficulties They seem dreadfully
afraid that Great Britain means to settle them
without further consultation, and are resolved
on having their say now, lest they may not get
it after the Commission has arranged matters.
1t was urged that the Dominion Parliament
ought to reiterate its preposterous doctrine
that our vessels are not to be admitted to fish
within three miles Of line drawn from head
land to headland.

The coal-carrying companies of the Lehigh
and Susquebanna Valleys are killing their
goose to get at its golden eggs. They have
suddenly advanced their tolls from So 20 to
81 10 per tun. This must naturally make
coal dearer here and in other large cities ;
but more disastrous effect must follow in
the mining regions, where immense numbers
of persons are likely to be thrown out Of en-
plOyment. We trust the present announce
ment of this insane policy exaggerates its
conditions

A cadet at West Point writes u.s. asking in the in

names of the writers of certain letters concerning
West Point affairs, printed in The TRIBUNE Imme-

a secret. We trust the young mans conceptions of
fair play clearer than his request would indicate

of Inquiry in his case not long ago. think it
well to remind him that he is not in position to vim
dictate the reputation of West Point. TO say any

The value of San Domingo as q Wintering-
