at all becomes a nuility if they are
precluded from taking bait. They
might s. well be preeluded from car
rying their seines in their vessels.
Under those circumstances the country
will be glad to learn that Secretary
Evarts has not only opened a cores
pondence with the British government
in regard to those complaints, but
has also dispatched the kearSarge, n
man-of-war, TO the scene of strife, TO
look after our fishermen and protect
their rights. On board the kearsarge
have been sent the attorneys who
managed the case for our government,
that all the facts i'm the case may be
obtained, The dispatch of the Kear-
sarge will serve at last TO give that
protection TO our men in the exercise
of their treaty rights which they have
right to demand, and the commits
sioners who accompany her will make
statement of the lawlessness and
violence which will be official in its
nature and therefore indisputable.

TWO VIEWS.

As will have been seen the Ameri-
cans have again urged their grievance
in the subject of the fisheries, pretend
ing that they have been badly
caught. The other day they com
planned that the Cape Breton fisher
men would not allow them to take
squid for bait, and now they are
sending the celebrated steamer "Kear-
sarge" to see about it. In spirit of
banter one of the United States papers
rallies Mr.. Secretary Evarts about this
cruise in search of the great sea serpent,
which it considers just as practicable
an expedition as that upon which the
vessel is really sent. Mr.. Evarts will
have considerable difficulty in soaring
our dwel1ers by the sea so long as they
have within hailing distance of them
the guns of the ''Bellerophon" and her
consorts. Without the necessity of any
show of force our neighbors may rest
assured that they will obtain all they
are entitled to. But really and truly
this last exhibition of "cussedness"
only makes the position of our neigh
bors even more ridiculous than it was

JOHN BRIGHT ON INDIA.

Mr.. Bright's recent speech in London
on India ended as follows History
offers us many examples Of great en-
pires which have been built up and of
great empires which have fallen. From
the time Of Alexander the Great to the
time of the Corsican conQueror of our
own age, abundant lessons are offered
to us that power may be built up, but
that wisdom and justice are necessary
to sustain it. England has done much
by force. Now is the time for the poll
cy of wisdom and of justice. If these
great qualities are wanting-and con-
fess have not observed them lately in
our Indian administrations say, if
these great qualities are wanting, | see
before me little but calamity and hu-
initiation in connection with our
Indian Empire. If English opinion
and the English conscience will seize
this question boldly and deal with it,
there may be Il remedy. If not, in my
mind, the future of India, and of
England connected with it, is full Of
gloom and full of peril

Nor READY TO DIE YET. 1t is said
the Republican party has fulfilled its
mission and ought to die. No party
is better prepared to die. On its mon
ument can be written that it has
fulfilled every pledge it ever made to
the American people. Ought to die.
Thank you, gentlemen, we have made
other arrangements. 1t took the coun-
try from the lowest depths of humilia-
ton and raised it to the highest
pinnacle of prosperity. 1t found the 5
per cent. bonds worth 68, and now the
per cent. are worth 1902. 1t built the
railroads which the country needed,
and it has improved the rivers and
harbors. Of these works labor has
received the benefit. The party saved
the national life by redeeming its
pledge, and il redeemed another on the
LIST of january and saved the national
honor. The panic Of 1887 was worse
than that through which we have
passed, but VIC got down to hard pan
in 1912 and an era of prosperity ensued.
Now go over the country and there is
work for all who want it. The wheel
is turning and nothing can stop it,

the British government several times
the value of all the fish that can be
caught in those waters by American

French Doctors.

The fees which French physicians
receive, says the London News, would
seem to their English brethren very
low. gather from a recent controversy
in the papers that some leading London
practitioners lately raised their fee for
a first consultation to two guineas. In
Paris the best physicians expect four
dollars for q consultation at home and
eight dollars if they go out; but
exaggerated professional delicacy
prevents them as a rule, from demand
ing more than n ptient chooses to give.
The table of a busy doctor is Uttered
over with gold pieces so grouped rs to
convey the hint that fees of ono, two
or three napoleOns have been received;
but If a patient lays down two dollars,
or even one, he receives his bow and
thanks without a protest, the doctor
assuming (often wrongly than tho man
has given all he can afford. In country
towns one dollar is the usual fee, but
forty cents arc often given by men who
ought to know better, and forty cents
is the invariablc fec which village
doctors put down per visit when send
ing in their bills ut tho end OF the year.
Ono is ashamed to say that these doc
tors bills often give rise to the sorriest
haggling, for there exists a crooked
opinion that Il physician should regard
himself as n philanthropist and pay his
butchers bills with tho mere thanks
Of his patients. A country doctor at
tends a prosperous peasant proprietor,
day after day for weeks, supplies mcdi-
cines, effects a cure, and at the end Of
the year is treated as an extortioncr
because he has charged Il sum which
will barely pay for tho wear and tear
OF the horse and gig. Some doctors
draw n regular salary from medical
club; but these arc tho worst used OF all, :,
for every member of the club feels
bound to take out five or six times tho
value of his subscription in doctors
visits, even if he have nothing the
matter with him.

Joseph JefIcrsOn's Fence.
Now Iboria Sugar BOWL

Now Iboria Sugar BOWL
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, during his ro-
cont visit to his orange grove planta-
tion, has boon actively engaged in np-
plying to practice u cherished theory
that every country possesses sufficient
material for its own fences. He set to
work to prove it by erecting for each
side of his fence sods three feet In width,
divided into five layers, at an angle of
seventy-flve degrees. The soil from
beneath tho sod exactly fills tho space
between tho erected sOds, leaving
threc-foot ditch ON each side. On top
of this sod and soil fence, which Is
four and u half feet Mt the base and
three feet high, he plants cuttings of
the Mccartney rose, which arc pro-
tected by panel OF boards. This fence,
while within tho reach OF any man
who will shoulder his spade and work,
possesses tho advantages Of an iInpass-
able barrier, of permanencc, of not
needing repairs, of drainage, and OF be-
| ing most beautiful ornament. Mr..
Jefferson will soon have enclosed a
section of his plantation containing
two thousand six hundred acres, ana
at one-half tho cost Of stake lcncc.
Without being over-sanguino as to its
rapid adoption, we feel safe In saying
that 1t is tho most economical ana
useful fence in the Southern states ana
destined to come into general use.

What Weddings Offer.

Weddings offer women an eligible
opportunity Of get ting up good fam

connection are in a hutter of excite
ment, and are far from being mis-
tresses of themselves. In the inevita-
BILE confusion of large hospftalitfes,
some distant aunt or near cousin Is GER
tain, like the cross fairy who was not
asked to the christening, ssto take
offense." The aimless excitement and
hutter now find something fresh to
work upon, and settle down into good
steady animosities. "Marriage, and
death, and division," says the poet
rather cynicaily, "make barren our
lives" Marriages generally beget di-
vision, or rather, in the general excite
ment, some slow old grudge is brought
to a head and bursts. When the happy
pair return after the honeymoon, they
are lucky if they do not find that they
have to take a side in a feud, and range
themselves under the banner of Aunt
Jane or of Aunt Matilda. All this is
the result of the curious inexplicable
passion with which people who do not
care a pin for man or woman throw
themselves into their matrimonial af-
fairs. Ones birth docs not disturb

great achievements, If we ever per-
form any, interest every one more than
our kins-folk. We may even commit
crimes, and find that scauty notice is
taken Of the offense, relations cOnffning
themselves to saying that ssthey al
ways looked for as much." We die,
and our intimateS are unmoved. Why,
then, can we not marry in peace :?
Why do people seem to become new
and strange sort of beings, of interest
to all men, as soon as they are engaged
to be married? There must be some
mysterious reason for these things, and
philosophers may seek it in the remote
history of the race. There, however,
they probably will not find it, as we'd
dings in the remote history of the race
were an unregarded episode, IN which

will the philosopher be more happy if
he sslooks within his own bosom, and
listens for the whispers of conscious
| ness" His consciousness has nothing
to say on the subject. If he be mar
ried philosopher, he knows that he
always forgets all about it when he is
told that any of his friends are about
to enter into the state of matrimony
He knows that he looks on that as en-.
tircly their own affair, and neither his
tory nor experience can inform why
his fellow-creatures put themselves in
to such a flutter. Mankind has always
been so constituted that many things
which are natural remain inexplicable
to the philosopher. We do not think
that even Mr.. Herbert Spencer has
tried to solve the problem connected
with the popular interest in we'd
