FIsmERIEs.-From the interest ia.
ken in the fishing enterprises on the
Sound within the past two years, we
should say that this part Of the re-
sources Of our Territory, bids fair to
become prominent within the next
two years Report says a cannery is
soon to sbe started at Seattle. If
this be true, as we hope it is, it will
add greatly to the resources OF our
sister town as well as the whole
Sound. Now that the cannery at
Muckilteo has done such good woIk,
and the proposed extensive estab-
lishment at Hoko, bids fair to be a
success in every way, we may CON
gratulate the people Of the people of
the Sound on the rapidly increasing
importance of this industry.

way Of the people when a question
touching their rights comes up for
discussion. Having no friends whom
we would wish To see unduly ia
yored, or enemies we would stand
by and see wronged in the slightest
particular, we can champion the
cause of right, aud express untram-
meled views at all times. The ques-
ton which came up for dispute at
the time referred to by "Tax. Pay
er," was not the actual right of the
city to Quincy street, but the
right of the board Of town trustees
to sumrnarily di,possess private in
dividual OF land which he had kept
enclosed and been in peacable pos
session Of for years. The law re-
quires that due process be complied
with in all such cases; and, il an in
dividual is disposed to insist upon
having his rights, he can obtain them
This fact, considered in connection
with the apparent attempt to injure
private property, by destroying
fences and exposing a garden and
orchard to cattle and other stock
running atlarge, was what prompted,
we believe, the resort to legal meas
urss. Knowing that there was a
great deal Of prejudice aaoat, we
took the side we conscientiously be
lieve to be the right, and defended
the individual as We would Mr..
James or any other person, similarly
situated. The settling of this mat
ter in Court showed that we were
not at variance with the law, at any
rate. Had the Justice of the Peace,
before whom this case was first
brought, decided in q different man
ner, he would have been direlict in
duty as an officer of the law, and
would have been liable to severe le-
gal treatment for his action.
Now, what the people of Port
Townsend want is to get proper leg
islation, establishing their right to
these streets, and then take the pro
per course to use them. This, the
ARGUS is willing to battle for, and
make a common cause of public re-
quirements.

WHARF CHARGEs.-Some Of our
citizens insist that the charges made
by the Union Wharf Company are
too high still. We are told per-
ceptible reduction was made some
time since, in the printed rates, for
vessels lying at the wharf; but it
seems that other chBrges are made
which are out OF proportion. If the
advertised charges for trunks and
baggage are still collected, they are
without doubt unlawful, and ought to
he refused payment. But we do not
desire so mnch to call attention to
to this as to the facts in regard to
wagons. Under the present system
of charging 25 cents for wagons,
it costs a person so cents to ride
down to a steamer, instead of 20
cents as formerly. One teamster re-
marked, few days ago, that he
would not mind so much having to
pay this heavy taxif the wharfnger
was compelled to pay the company
at the same rate for his own teams
and wagons. This looks fair enough;
and, il the gentleman's premises are
correctlyitaken, he has just grounds
for complaint. We are not in pos
session of facts in the case TO justify
apositive statement that injustice is
being done, but we want to see fair
play. There can be no objection to
the Wharf Company having just re-
muneration and reasonable profits,
but it ought at least to charge all
alike

Touching Incident.

While i'll South Carolina, recently

and he gave his hymn book that it
might be sold and the proceeds given
