A Newfoundland correspondent of the
Toronto Globe, discussing the fishery
troubles, says that as long as Americans
observe the law and fish on equal terms
with the colonists, they will not be dis,
turbed. 1t is likely that the Newfound-
land Legislature will this season pass an
act prohibiting the sale of bait, and tax
ing heavily all importations of ice. There
is alarm regarding the enormous quanti-
ties Of bait bought by Americans for the
bank fishery, as the bait fishes that lure
the cod inshore may be destroyed. Under
the Treaty Of Washington, Americans can
catch their own bait, but the Newfound-
landers consider that they have right tc
protect their leading interest from injury
or destruction by putting prchibitory
duty on ice, and by forbidding the sale o
bait by native fishermen.

The M~trouolItan Railway.

We print with pleasure and real satisfac-
ton letter from Mr.. Garrison, President
Of the Metropolitan Elevated hallway Com
pany, setting forth the active preparations
the company is making for extending the
road above its present terminus ut Fifty
ninth street to the Harlem River. We
wish that Mr.. Garrison or some other per-
son authorized to speak for the road, would
send us for publication an equally reassur-
ing statement respecting The cost OF con-
struction and the bonds of the company.
The HERALD has given too many and too
constant evidences of sincere friendship
for this enterprise to, permit anybody
to suppose that we willingly criti-
else its management We have nothing
but admiration to express for the excellence
of the structure, SO far as it has been COM
pleted for the elegance OF its cars, the
beauty of it's stations, the convenience of
it's arrangements, the frequency and rapid
movement of its trains. We are truly anx-
ious that the company make no mistakes
which would tend to impair its popularity
or involve the company in litigation or
legislative overhauling It's stability and
prosperity depend on faithfully serving the
public at such reasonable rates as will fur
nish only fair income on the actual capt.
tai invested. Mr. Garrison's explanation OF
the further progress of the work we accept
without cavil, and only wish that his state
ment had covered all the grounds of incul-
patton.
Mr.. Garrison states that the work on
Fifty-third street, between the Sixth
and the Ninth avenue, and between
Fifty-ninth street and along the Ninth
avenue to Eighty-frst street, is in such
state of forwardness that trains will
be running to the last named street early
in November, and that the work is to be
pushed with vigor to the Harlem River.
The law requires the construction of five
miles Of the road per annum, and Mr..
Garrison afirms that, instead of falling
short of this requirement, the company will
be in advance of it. The HERALD feels An
almost paternal interest in the success and
popularity Of this really splendid road and
we should be infinitely more pleased to see
all our suspicious removed than to have
any Of them confirmed.

One Man Power.

Mr.. Kelly's too modest declaration that
he is only one democrat, and that democrats
as body would revolt against the assump-
ton by him of any dictatorial authority in
the party councils, naturally attracts the
attention Of city journals, who treat the
subject seriously or lightly in accordance
with their humors. In another column
we reprint from the Mail racy appre-
citation Of the Tammany leaders motives.
Another paper says very logically that Mr..
Kelly's statement of his relationship to
Tammany Hall and the democratic party
must, if sincere. be Immediately followed
by his abdication of his actual dictatorship.
But that pushes logic beyond limits, for
Mr.. Kelly cannot withdraw from the posi-
ton he holds as q party leader, and, more
over it is not desirable he should. 1t is
desirable simply that he should not substi-
tute his will as party leader for the will
of the people in the important functions Of
the choice of city officers. Strong men in
political parties are as advantageous to the
public as to their parties if they use
their strength in the right spirit. Through
them party action, too apt to be distracted
and wasted, can be gathered up and con-
centrated on points where, for the public
welfare, concentration is needed. But if,
instead of acting in such direction from
liberal views of the public good, if, instead
of using their influence within that legiti-
mate sphere in which the great party lead
ers of the country have always used it,
they pretend to assume, through their domi-
nance in their party and the dominance Of
their party in the community, actual pos
session of the government down to the or
dering Of all details and the practical APP
pointment of all functionaries, even those
that are ostensibly elected, then the exer-
else of their influence becomes an atrocious
abuse that the people must remedy. And
that is the nature of our criticism of Mr.
Kelly in regard to the choice of Mayor.
We want Mayor that the people will agree
upon, and if Mr.. Kelly sustains him with
the rest of the community SO much the
better but we do not want one that the
people must accept even against their will
because he is satisfactory to MIR. Kelly.

The Herald Storm Predictions.

While the HERALD's representative at the
International Meteorological Congress in
Paris is explaining to the scientists of
Europe how simple are the rules by which
many lives and much property can be
saved the verifcation of one of the
HERALD's predictions comes as if to aid him
in his argument. We print elsewhere a
despatch from London giving a fresh
exemplifcation of the value and &C.
curacy of the HERALD's warning system.
Indeed, it is time that the people Of
England should open their eyes to the fact
that such dispatches are regularly sent to
Europe by the HERALD, and that they might,
by carefully watching for these predictions
and taking the precautions suggested by
them, protect themselves against many an
impending danger. The peculiar situation
of the island renders it almost impossible
for the British Meteorological Bureau to
fcretell the approach of a storm in time for
the warning to be of any assistance to
the public, for heavy storms always
come from the west, and there are, of
course, no stations west of the island.
Therefore there are only two courses for
tbem-to be always ready which is imprac-
ticable, or to pay more attention to the
warnings from America. 1t is to be hoped
that the British public will at some future
time be convinced of the fact that the
HERALD sends those storm warnings at its
own expense and for no other purpose than
that they may be Of use in reducing the
dangers Of navigation and be of benefit TO
commercial interests generally.

Does Mr.. Kelly Know About This

Are offce-holders or others in receipt of
salaries from the city compelled to pay for the
support of one of Mr.. Kelly's daily papers ? 1t
is an evil in our system that political ma
chimes are used to extort from city laborers
the money to run the machine but that is
in some sort recognized, and is not regarded
as q common outrage. 1t is bad enough,
however; and if the same system is to be
applied, not for the support of ordinary
party machinery only, but also Of party
organs, if that system is to be applied to
the press which has debauched and ruined
popular politics, the people ought to
know it,
Therefore we print the following COM
munication just as we have received it -
TO THE EpIroR:-
/ am patroIman In the Police Department Of this
CITY, What wish TO call your attention to " that

solicit subscribers for tho New York Star and also

Now this is very specific allegation, the
truth of which can readily be determined
by those most concerned who, it seems to
u.s. are the Police Commissioners Mr..
Kelly, we suppose, if this thing is done. is
not aware Of it. He could hardly consent
to force the freedom OF the people in this
small particular. But is it not his concern
also to know what practices are carried on
by his subordinates in his name ?
