The Times on the Fisheries Question
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Times in an editorial
article says: "When We hear that public opin-
ion in the United States has suddenly been
thrown into ferment by the revival OF the
fishery question, and that Mr.. Erarts has
written two vigorous dispatches, the publica-
ton OF which couple of weeks before the de-
clsive elections, has aroused patriotic feelings
In manner no doubt profitable to the repub-
llcan party, we can only wonder at the capac-
1ty for being excited by small things, which the
Americans possess. Mr.. EvartS' dispatches are
concerned with what are apparently rather an
uquated subjects; f1Sherman'S quarrel on the
coast OF New F0undland and the payment OF
the Halifax award which the arbitratorS an
nOunced nearly twelve months ago, Whatever
may be the course Of the Newfoundland dispute
1t can have no bearing upon the payment or
nOn-pay ment of the Halifax award. That must
be determined by the American people upon
general principles of honor and equity and with
out reference to subsequent disputes about
other matters. II they wish to repudiate the
award OF the Halifax tribunal they may rest as
sured that We shall not go to war to recover
damages. They have nothing to fear save the
loss OF their national Self-reSpect and the un-
complimentary surprise OF the old-world ma
tionS."
