The sessions of the national GREEN

Inc sessions OF the national greenDack labor
convention at Syracuse will attract attention.
for their liVeliness, if not for harmony.
Shupe, the irrepreSsible editor of the Adr0 -.
cate, has been decided by the almost unani
nous agreement of the country delegates to be
traitor TO the party, and he is now skulking
ANONYMOUSLY in the outskirts OF the conyen-
lion. The country delegates also unkindly
suggest that at least three of the four deltga-
lions sent by the city OF New York are not re-
spectacle. In addition TO the personal ami
moslties that disturb the convention, its sew
eral branches are not in perfect accord. The
greenbackerS profess to fear that the working
men will draw Interpretation upon them
by making the platform sOcialistic or COM
munlstic, or otherwise Objectionable, while
the wOrkingmen consider that in view of the
speedy resumption of specie payments, the
convention should not commit itself too far in
favor of greenbacks. The variety of squabbles
10 which the convention has given rise, would
appear discreditable to the alleged representa-
ives OF more than two hundred thousand
voters, if some of the conventions of the older
and thus freed the Syracuse convention from
any especial Reproduction in the matter, by es-
tablishing precedent. And considering that
three or four sets of men, claiming to be dele
gates, wendell their way to Syracuse with the
expressed purpose of pulling one another out
oil the convention by the hair of the head,
much less damage has, as yet, been done, than
might have been expected. The widow Butler,
who has been in New York, glancing furtively
at the new party, seems to have come to an un-
favorable conclusion in regard to the city or
SanlZatiOn, and Is acting with unexpected Shy.

In view Of the disposition shown by the Post
ONCE department authorities to comply with
the wish of the Treasury department in the
matter OF carrying bullion through the mails
the superintendent of the express companies,
interested in the transportation of gold coin,
are becoming uneasy, and are trying to weaken
an argument in favor of the proposed plan by
bringing about reduction in the present
rates OF transportation, by pressure on the
railroad companies. III the rates can be re-
duced low enough, il is likely that those, at
any rate, on whom the responsibility for the
safety Of the coin under the new arrangement
would fall. will cheerfully cast their votes in
favor of permitting the labor to be done By the
express companies.

The recent decision of the Interior Depart
ment in case affirming the right of the de-
partment TO sell to settlers, under the pre-emp-
ton law, lands still undisposed Of which had
been granted to railroad companies with the
provision that so much of them as remained
unsOld at the end of three years from the time
OF the completion of the road should be sub
Ject to entry and presumption at sl.25 per acre,
is OF the highest Importance. 1t tends to open
many million acres of land TO settlement at
Cheap rates, and encourages western immi-
grafton. 1t is likely that much of the land
affected directly or indirectly by this decision
is worth, at present, little or nothing; but on
the other hand, there are also large and valua
Die tracts for which the railroad companies
have demanded more than ten times the price
at which, under appropriate conditions, they
may be now obtained.
A question OF interest. In this connection, is
whether those persons who have bought lands
from the railroad companies since the linita
ton expired can recover the money that they
have paid in excess of 81 . an acre, and
wheth,r their titles to the lands obtained
through the railroad companies are good in
law.

Kearney, the so-called representative of the
wOrkingmen, is making his way from Cali
fornia towards the rising sun, in palace car,
with the intention of firing the eastern heart
by his words of burning elOquence. The
palace car business may strike the average
laboring man a little oddly; but since General
Butler, another champion of the horny handed
sons OF toll, is the owner and commodore of

objection to his colleague from the Pacific
slope ipdulging in the luxury of Pullman.

Hubbard has proved a bonanza" to the hotel

was what defeated Hubbard. Il looks strange

What little sympathy might have been felt
for the tramps in the west who pretend they
want something to do is effectually destroyed
and turned to wrath by the fact that they re-
fuse to work in the harvest fields of Iowa at
$3.50 per day. What they want, and what
good many of them declare they will have, is
support without work.

Fish Culture in America.

At the American Fish Culturists'
meeting, the Hon. X. Is. Roosevelt
was elected president.
Mr.. f.. G.. BIackford said con
corning the fish market IN New
York, the shad, salmon. and trout
are the leading selling fish. Last
year they were not abundant. The
Connecticut shad's rival comes from
North Carolina. The first shad
taken this year was taken Feb. 22,
from the Potomac. This shad ma
lures earlier than other species ; It's
fault IS over ripeness, making It's
meat drv. Mr.. Blackford grew m
dignant because the Legislature
has not made a "close term Of
Il day in a week, from Saturday
night until Monday morning. when
shad may run up the Hudson and
deposit seed unmolcsted. Anewly
introduced fish is the pompano, a
rival Of the English turbot, from
Norfolk and Chesapeake bay.
Seth Green described the way
fishermen, with pound nets, gob5le
the fish In wholesale. and prevent
the reproduction. Pound nets are
used--fences. through which fish
run, and are unable to escape.
There are twenty fishermen now
where there was one before artlfi-
cial breeding was begun, because
previously fishing didn't pay. Then
a laboring man on the Connecticut
had a shad once a year only. The
pound nets there would stop q
steamboat. In tie end, pound nets
ruin a fisherman, a they exhaust
fish faster than they can be repro
duced.

Recently the State Grange of
Tennessee held its annual meeting,
which was a harmonious and pleas
ant assembly. The subjoined is a
condensation of their action:

healthy and progressive condition.
The Secretary says that during the
past six months "A very encouraging
revival has been manifested among

the outlook of the order was
never so auspicious." The fee OF

was reduced one-half, and the by

The Grange also reduced its Secre-
