splitting hairs. However, if this action
Is persisted in, he would now apply to him,
as Justice of the Peace, to sign paper

The Canadian Fisheries.

1t has been stated with some po-itivcue~-
that the Commission which j. to ascend,
some day at Halifax, under the provisions of
the Treaty of Washington, is sure to award
the Canadian government four OF five mil
lion dollars a. compensation on the part OF
the United States for the privilege Of taking
and curing fish in British waters, and fur the
privilege Of landing and making purchases
during the fishing season. Washington de-
patches say that under the Treaty of Wash
ingtou the United States rendered the Brit
ish goyernmen: one million dollars for this
privilege bat it was declined, and OR gov
eminent, soon after becoming satisfied that
this amount was too large. and fearing that
il the offer was lett standing it might be ae-
cepted upon reconsideration, withdrew ii,
and decided to let the question be settled by
arbitration. TINS was nearly two Years ago.
Up to tins date, no official action has been
taken by our government towards selecting
a Commission, hut there are indications that
the matter will be taken up at an early
date
Our government has been notified officially
that Canada has appointed Sir a. T. Calf to
represent her Is an Arbitrator The United
States Will name a Commissioner, and the
third will be designated by the Austrian
Minister at London. 1t is believed. in Wash
ington that this Commission will not name
larger amount than four OF five hundred
thousand dollars as compensation in full to
Canada, for the right to fish in her waters.
The export Of butter from Canada to Eng
land amounted to 10, 900 600 pounds in 1872.
or three times as much as from the whole
United States in 1915. and four times as
much as in 1881. Since then, the atter-
ton Of the Dominion farmers has been turn
ing more to cheese. and the butter export
has dropped to u 233, 900 pounds our own
meantime is rising. The Canadian EXPORT of
cheese has risen from 400 900, in 1864. to
"a 900 900 pounds, in 1874, against 90 600.
900 from the Ii ited States, in the latter wear
and loo, 600 900 in 1875. Our butter makers
do not hold the foreign market as well as our
cheese makers. The expectation of these
articles has sprung up entirely since 1850.
and reached Its highest point in 1865, when
the currency value OF the two exports was
about $40 600 600. and that of butter alone
81 ,292 600. In the following year. the ex-
port of butter dropped to 81 .267 600, and it
i only now reviving. 1t is the establishment |
of cheese factories that has enabled farmers |
On this side to build up great foreign trade
