THE INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES
COMMISSION.

Joseph Doutre, @. c., has been ap-
pointed by the Dominion Government,
: together with three other legal gentle
men from Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick, to represent the government as
counsel before the international Com
mission which is to settle the fisheries
question. Sir Alex. Gait has been ap-
pointed as the British or Canadian Com
missioner The Commission, which is
occupying public attention in Canada, is
to be formed in accordance with articles
22-25 of the Treaty of Washington,
signed May 8, 1871. In these articles it
is stipulated that Great Britain having
claimed that the fishery rights accorded
by her are of greater value than those
conceded by the United States, the diff
erence, if any, is to be determined by three
Commissioners, one of whom is to be ap-
pointed by Queen Victoria, another by
President Grant, and the third by the
President and Her Britanic Majesty con-
Jointly. The Commissioners are to meet
at Halifax, and are there to receive such
.oral or written estimony" as either
government may present. The case on
either side is to close within six months
from the meeting of the Commission.
Great Britain and the United States are
each authorized to appoint an agent who
is to represent each country generally
in all matters connected with the Com
mission" The British Government has
already appointed its agent, who has
been studying the question at the Cana
dian capital. The Canadians entertain
high hopes of the result of the Commits
sion, expecting that large sum will be
awarded to Great Britain. In this coun-
try the subject has not received much at
tention, but the opinion is generally en-
tertained that Great Britain is entitled
to little or nothing by way of compen-
sation.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

This is the comment Of the Michigan
Christian Advocate upon the decision of
the Supreme Court on the liquor tax
case: 1.-THE Supreme Court, by decis-
ision in which all the Judges concur, has
affirmed the constitutionality of the IL
quor tax law. This settles question on
which there was an honest difference of
opinion. Nothing is now in the way of
the collection of the tax imposed. Let
the work be faithfully and thoroughly
done, and no one will rejoice more than
we, should intemperance be lessened in
the state. What will be the fruit of this
policy the future alone can determine.
We reserve our right to advocate re-
peal of the law, and that at no distant
day, should facts, as they develop, show
that the traffic is not restrained"

IT is creditable to American enterprise
that the second attempt to send peaches
to England has been attended with COM
plete success. The fruit being in good
condition on arrival, and having readily
found purchasers in London, peach
growers are now assured larger mar
ket for their fruit, which will doubtless
be produced in greater quantity to meet
the foreign demand. If all perishable
fruit and vegetables can be sent cheaply
in the same way to Europe, the success
Of the experiment will prove OF incalcu-
liable value 70 this productive land.

IMMIGRATION for the past year has
brought us $4,000 new citizens, taking
no account of the number who have
gone home. This is less than half the
annual arrival two years ago. The couE-
tries from which we receive rank in the
following order: Germany, Al, 769, Eng
land 4O,130, Ireland 37,957, Canada %, 900,
China 16,4S7, France 1881, Russia 1882
Ireland is the only country which sends
us more females than males, and the i'm
portation of improper women from China
would seem to have greatly subsidized, if
we are to suppose that the number of
women of that nationality is properly re-
ported at 1872. The corners from Russia
are probably the Menonites, and 15O are
credited to Iceland. Of those who have
an occupation, 2,426 belong to the profess
sions, and $500 to the skilled occupa-
lions. There are 800 musicians, that be-
| ing the most numerous profession; 90
Jesuits and 81 Sisters OF Charity and
Mercy.
MANY Republicans who opposed in
flation with all their might are disposed
to look favorably on repeal of the spe..
Gle resumption act at the next session of
Congress. We sincerely trust that no
such folly will be countenanced. The
act provides for the resumption of specie
payments in 1879. There is plenty of
time. If at the end of two years it is
apparent that the provisions of the act
cannot be carried out without universal
distress, then it can be repealed. But in
two years great progress will be made in
the direction of return to specie pay
ment. What we need now more than
anything else is a fixed policy, so as to
give an idea of permanency and stability.
The repeal of the resumption act would
unsettle everything and make the coun-
try restless and uneasy. If demagogues
and thinkers could only be persuaded to
keep quiet everything would 60 on
smoothly, now that the Ohio dragon has
been Slain.
THE proposed new constitution of Ala
bama contains many improvements, but
itadopts an ingenious and rascally method
of getting rid of state and municipal
debts. 1t limits the amount of taxation
which can be imposed for any purpose to
so small an amount that the interest on
existing debts can scarcely be paid and
nothing on the principal. If this con-
stitution is adopted the Legislature and
the people will say to men who hold
their bonds, ave have no constitutional
power to raise money by tax to pay you."
This is roundabout swindling. The sala-
ries of state officers are reduced, the
school funds tied up from waste, the
Legislature debarred from passing spe-
cial acts, and a pOll-tax provided for
which will doubtless be used, as it is in
Geogia, to disfranchise the negroes
with.

The Pull Mall Ga.elte says: "ThO re-
port Of the Minister OF Finance shows that
the expenditure Of France again tends to
grow more rapidly than the income. The
deficit which IN 1873 amounted 10 209,-
100000 francs, fell in 1874 to $4,000, 900.
The Budget for the present year shown q
deficit ott4 900, and that for 1875 q
deficit Of SS,400,0O0. The Minister has
been driven by the steady resistance Of
the Assembly to abandon all idea Of i'm
posing new taxes. The meaning OF this
Il that every new tax, except Sh income
tax, Is disliked by financial experts, while
IN income tax, though financially sound,
is too unpopular to have chance Of being
adopted, especially by an Assembly which
knows before long Il must give an ac-
count to It's constituents. Cut Of this way
from trying new ways OF raising money,
NJ. BOdet is trying to raise more money
in the old mode Of collection, and stric-
ter control Is to be exercised over brew
cries, distilleries and sugar re6neries. By
these means the minister hopes to con-
vert deficit OF 81, 100000 into surplus
Of nearly 100000. On paper this is
highly satisfactory, but in practice
there Il reason to fear that by refusing to
create new taxes the Assembly has only
shifted unpOpulGity from It's own should
erS to those Of the Executive"
