The Decline of the Potomac Fish.
cries.

Elsewhere will be found an article upon the
notable decline in the Potomac fisheries, and
the views of Prof. Spencer +. Baird head of
the L. y Fish Commission, as to the mode of
remedying the evil. 1t appears that through
covering the river with every ingenious mode
of appliance for capturing the fish during the
spawning season. We have pretty effectually
killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. As
long ago as 1852 25,500,000 shad and 75O0OOO0
herring were caught annually in the Potomac.
it Is estimated that the present shad yield of
the entire river Is not more than 2500J0: or less
than one per cent. of what it was half a
century ago. Shore nets, gill nets and all the
other murderOus traps and appliances by
which the fish have been haraSsed and de
Stroyed in seeking breeding place have done
the work ef1ectually, and an immense source
OF food supply has been cut OF for all the
Potomac region.
The remedies suggested are artificial propo--
CATION and legal protection. The mode of
carrying out these remedies are indicated i'm
the article elsewhere. There are difficulties i'm
the way OF legislation for legal protection,
owing to the divided jurisdictions. of the Po-
tOmac between the states of Maryiand and
Virginia; but where the common interests are
50 great in cultiVating and protecting such an
enormous source OF wealth to both it would
seem that there should be united action. When
1t Is called to mind that the Potomac half a
century ago yielded annually six hundred mil
lion pounds OF fish, the enormous money value
involved in restoration of the Potomac fshe-
ries to that frutfuness can be estimated.
While We are casting about for sources of in
come and cheap food, here is one of almost in
calcuabe Importance, lying neglected right at

The conflicting schools of diplomacy repre-
seDted by GOrtSchakOff and Ignatief would
naturally antagOniZe each other, but the jeal-
Ousy of his young rival which has arisen in
GOrtschakOff DOW gives a personal bitterness
to the struggle between bin aud his former
pupil. The recovery Oh health and vigOr by
the old diplOmatiSt is marked by the exclusion
OF Ignatieff from the councils of the Emperor
The secret, subtle, cautious system OF the old
school, and the bold, strong, headlOng policy
of the new, may be both utilized, each in it's
proper season, by a master hand. But it
seems how that the antagOnism between the
two schools has risen to such pitch that one
must give way entirely. AT this juncture
GortschakOff would perhaps. be best in con-
troll. Ii peace is desired, no one can obtain it
so adyantageOuSly as be. But when shots in
stead of diplomatic notes are exchanged, then
Russia will need the bold and energetic Igna.

In the struggle between kearney and the

have come off second best. The decisive bat
tie was fought at great mass meeting of the
workingmen in San Francisco, of which Kear
ney had announced that he would take charge
But circumstances over which he had no con-
troll compelled him to change his mind, and he
retired with his followers and held an OppOsi-
