TIE FISHERY QUESTION.

A London Journal Which Admits that
there is Some Force in Mr.. Evaris'
Points.
LONDON, Nov. 8.-The News article on the
fishery question concludes as follows:
We wait with interest the publication of
Saiisbury's despatch and thu statement drawn
up by the Canadian government. But there is no
use trying to disguise the fact that Evarts'
case has some force in it, The right has been
bought and ina natural course of things will be
paid for by the United States. Their right of
fishing thus acquired, accrued about two years
before the local law was passed, and our COM
mssioners forgot to reserve to local Legislatures
the right of making regulations. We fear that
the date fixed by the treaty for the payment Of
the award-November 23-will bs long past
Of the error of their contention. The question
is one of legal obligation, and it cannot be too
calmly discussed on both sides. The reluc-
lance to infllct wrong should be at least as
strong as the determination not to submit to
one.
