New Episcopal Bishops are de-
clared to be imperatively needed for
both Idaho and Montana; Utah being
alone sufficient to demand the entire

AT the Southern University, at
Greensboro, Ala, the course of study
covers complete classical and scientific
education. One hundred and twenty
one students were in attendance last
year.
AT Oberlin some students get
through the year without spending over
$3.50. Twenty-seyen dollars a year is
the cost of tuition, incidentals, and
library fees in even the highest depart

are also cheap.

RECIPROCITY IN FISH.
CANADA ENJOYING THE BEST OF 1T UNDER THE
TREATY.
rBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuSE.l


fBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuSE.l
WASHINGTON Feb. 1.-THE Canadian Govern
ment seems again to be complaining that the United
States has not appointed the Commissioner provided
for in the Treaty of Washington to assess the dam
ages due by this country to that of the Dominion
for the use of it's in-shore fisheries. Similar com
plants were made a little more than year
ago. but when the facts as shown by official
figures published nothing further was
heard of the prep0sterous claim put forth
by the Canadian press that the United States
ought to pay S10,000000 year for the fishery
privileges its citizens enjoy. The agitation at that
time had for its object the Indictment of the United
States Senate to raify the Reciprocity treaty. Cana
dian statesmen having intilnated that if this was
done the claim for fishery damages would be
dropped. Its looks as though its object was the
same now. The truth is that Canada has no just
claim against the United States under the Treaty of
Washington The privileges accorded our citizens by
that agreement have not materially increased the
product of American fisheries nor diminished that
OF the Dominion.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1871. before the
treaty went into operation the product of American
fisheries exclusive of the whale fishery, sold for
$1 1872 40, and for the year ending June 80 1873,
its value was only $10475,252. In no year
since cue treaty was Hcpotidtcu, uHicsS
it has been the last, have the Ameri-
can fisheries been as valuable during 1871.
On the other hand the fishery business began to inn
prove in Canada Immediately after the treaty went
INTO force In 1870 Canadian fishermen sold their
catch for only S6,577 392, while in 1874 it brought
them 81 6S $3.50 The same conclusion is reached
if we compare the trade in fish between this country
and Canada before the treaty with that afterward
In 1870 we imported from the Dominion $l,1G9,-
4O7 worth of fish, and exported to the
provinces $37764 worth. In 1878 We I'M
ported s. 1888 and exported $25,12S
worth. In other words, the Canadians are not only
catching more fish since the Treaty of Washington
was negotiated than before, but are selling more to
the United States, while our fishermen have been
catching less and selling less in Canada. The ex-
PLANTATION of this is that Canadian fishermen now
have free market Tor their fish in the United States
while formerly our Government imposed duty on
foreign fish, This free market is worth twice as
much to Canada as the in-shore fisheries OF New
foundland are to the United States, SO that the
United States ought in equity to pay nothing to the
Dominion for its privileges, and it therefore makes
no difference whether the commission ever meets or
not.
