The Fishery Question.

The Fishery Commission sitting at Hall
{ AK have rendered their first decision upon
any of the points at issue between the
United States and Canada, in relation TO
the fishery claims of the latter. The
question involved was whetherthe privi-
lege extended to American fishermen OF
buying bait and general supplies in Cana
dian ports, was to be regarded as an item
The old convention of 1918 conferred no
such privilege, neither did the Reciprocity
Treaty of 1858, in strict terms but the
colonial government in supplementary leg
islative acts. provided that the Americans
might land In Canadian ports for purchases
of trading and transhipment. The
Treaty of Washington reproduces the ar
ticle of the expired Reciprocity Treaty IN
relation to fishing privileges, and the ex-
tension of rights to include trading for
supplies and transhipment of the catch
was again made by special enactment.
Upon these facts the commission could not
decide otherwise than in favor OF the
United States; viz by ruling out the
claim made on the ground of trading priv
ileges as not coming under the head of a
concession made under the treaty. The
most important point remaniDgt to be con
sidered is the value of the catch within
three-mile limit, which is further compi-
Gated by the question as to where the
three-mile limit should be drawn, mat
ter of dispute ever since 1918. The Can
adam view is that it should be fixed out
side of line drawn from one headland
to another, which would OF course exclude
the Americans from the large bays and in
lets, while the American contention is that
it means simply three miles the nearest
point of the shore. This is the really
knotty point to be settled and upon which
the commission are likely to have ihe
greatest difficulty in coming to decision.
The Canadian claim is that one-half the
catch is taken inside the three-mile line.
while American evidence is strong to the
effect that only one-eighth of the produce
of Canadian fisheries is from inside the
limit. The difference may be partly due
to the different interpretations OF the pro-
vision and partly to the difficulty of esti-
mating the exact position of an magma
~ boundary. AS the decision of the COM
mission must be unanimous it is quite I'M
likely that any conclusion will be arrived
at, unless indeed England should consider
it to her advantage to have the matter
finally settled and drops the Canadian
Commissioner gentle hint to that effect.

The Maine Election.
from the Lewiston Journal. ]

The "greenback,' movement, which has un
doubleday reached its eliminating point, has
been inspired by variety OF causes, all oil them
of temporary nature. In ''oh years, especially
IN the present peculiar condition OF parties, there
is always n shifting element which manlfests itself
by Wing at home or voting the thlrd ticket. MS
element has voted the greenback ticket as the most
convenient method of manliesting their feelings,
aud not because OF any friendship Tor the remark
able views OF It's leaders. More have voted the
ticket because of unsuccessful business, reduction
of wages "hard times" which Is easier to charge
to the policy OF the government than to the true
cause. =,

argue about in this way :" he tunes are naiu,
and they cant be any worse If you vote with Us
And strange rs il may seem, many are caught oy

On the whole the result has disappointed the
democrats who nominated Williams-a repub lican
of twenty wears standing-wilh the confident ex
pectalion of securing the votes OF Thousand re-
publicans. The result WAS that not hundred re-
tubhcans have voted for Williams, ana thousands
of democrats have either stayed away from the
polls or voted for Talbot or Munson. In Peno0s-

1t is pretty evident that the democratic
canvass in Ohio is limping a good deal.
The newspapers do not warm to the work
worth cent, and the ahlest men In the
party do not appear on the stump. There
is great scarcity of funds, and a recent
trip to the East, in search OF aid, is said TO
have been complete failure. The causes
of the depression are two-lod. Mr.
Bishops refusal TO open his pocket book is
one, and the capture of the canvass. by
the initiation faction, in favor of Mr.. PEN
dleton's aspirations for the Senate, is the
other. An unusually good chance for sue

of the Social Science Association are num-
bered unless it is more strictly confined TO
its Legitimate purposes, and prevented
from being managed in the interest of

it was engineered in the TiIden cause last

to the Free Trade deliverances of its Pres

Of its sessions, the Courant suggests that
"it might happen that man would like

or the Free Traders" A change will have
to be made or else the association will
sink to the level of a one-idea convention.

The New York Herald owes it to its

The New York Herald owes it to its
own reputation as great organ of pub
lie intelligence to rebuke the false and
idiotic report which It's special reporter
sent from Portland the night after the
Maine election. Every man, woman and
child, caring to know the fact was per-
fectly aware before II O'Clock that Gov.
Conner was reelected by majority of
we'll nigh ten thousand votes over Mr.. Will
liams and by six or seven thousand over
all the scattering votes. And yet with
all these facts before him the special re-
porter of the Herald telegraphed that Con
nor was elected by only few hundred
majority. lie also telegraphed that the
vote for Mr.. Munson the Greenback candi-
date "had developed alarming proper
tions," when at that very moment it was
known that the total vote for Munson in
the entire State was only little over
5000.
Aud then the Herald in printing this
weak and silly Interpretation of the facts,
excluded from its columns the Associated
Press report which was very carefully
made and which contradicted in every
line and figure the mess of falsehoods
sent by its special. And this is we pre-
sumo enterprising journalism!

to the conclusion that it is Of no use to

he cannot rely in time of need, and has
demanded the designations of the officers
OF the regiment, which will now disband
