1t seems to be settled that the govern
ment of Great Britain will not surrender
Win>low unless it receives the assurance
asked for. and it is equally certain that it
will not receive any >uch assurance. The
cNtradtion clause of the treaty Of 1912
hcnccforth goes TO- nothing. and criminals
of either country will have the encourage

Fisheries in Maryland.


a memorial to be presented to the
oral Assembly Of this State, in the
l,st Of the fisheries Of this State, Il Is
that there arc not less than l62
6ies OF locations on It's rivers, which
ftimc 10 time have been fshed; but
npnly one.third Of this number are in
und they doing precarious business.
es the above number, there is room
nany more. The memorial asks for an
anl appropriation of $4,000 or 81 900
y in cultivating and fostering this
fest, which would in short time build
SIC fisheries, aud from the increased
vtion Of them would more than pay
State out Of the taxes thereon. A law
80 suggested forbidding the putting Of
iof prey in any of the rivers where shad
! herring are caught; and also TO appoint
lmissiJuers TO serve without pay.
Pr the 18th instant, at Frederick, u
ting of Changers was held, when this
iortant subject was presented in an
ress by Oliver y. Bryan, of Charles
|nty.
he local salt fish trade has for some late
rs become very insignificant. The
nifty of herring and shad packed and
Sarded to market appears to grow less
h year; but this has been accounted
by the increased facilities which our
roads now furnish for distributing fresh
/ in bulk to the interior. Shad aud
ring are natural productions of the

reduce any other species therein that in

Senator Aydelott, of Worcester comfy
Md, who at the last session Of the IeyIs

letter in favor of high license law in id

For several months the law seemed I,

either campaign, and, after spending -four
winters in the counsels of my native Star,
without tasting Annapolis liquor Of a,y
description, save little wine occasionally

short, having never drank dram in any
public house in my life, feel that | may
now be able to reach fair and IMPARTIAL
conclusions in regard to the use of intoxi-
eating liquors. And my own observations
from such t. standpoint lead me to conclude
that men will drink whisky, and we had
as well attempt To legislate change in
the organic laws Of gravitation as to hope
to enact a law that will etFeetually keep
whisky from the lips Of our fellow men
while its manufacture is encouraged aud
fostered BY the government
=" With these convictions forced upon
me, in all candor | respectfully submit
that We had better provide well regulated,
strictly guarded, high licensed law Tor the
sale OF spurious liquors in our county,
that may discriminate in favor of public
hotels rather than drug stores;n such a
law as will make the vendor responsible
for all damage that may be done to the
most humble individual by reason of such
sale, and thereby limit the sale to but few,
while at the same time protection to our
revenue may be given to limited extent,

NEWSPAPER misunderstanding de-
tracts from the profession more, oaly
those who have not sufficient originality
of thought to treat intelligently of the
current topics of the times, are fond of
engaging in them. They serve them in
stead Of comments upon some popular sub
ject of their own selection. They thus
give their readers husks for their enter
tainment, instead of making proper mental
effort for something better. Asa general
thing the public have no interest in them,
and are very often disguised by them.
Where there are two papers of the same
party prOclivities their jealousies and bick-
erings are almost without cessation, and
occupy their editorial columns nearly to
the exclusion Of everything else. Such
practices eau only result in lowering them
selves beneath the proper standard of
