The WEATnER.-The barometer rose in all
the districts east of the Mississippi River during
the early part Of yesterday except in the lake
regions, over which depression is slowly NOV
ing eastward. The pressure is highest on the
South Atlantic coast and in the central valleys.
II has commenced to decrease again in the
Rocky Mountain regions where a small dcpres
sion is developing energy. This, however will
soon be dissipated again and will not be felt east
of the Mississippi River. Rain fell throughout
the upper lake districts and on the New Eng.
sections Of the country, except on the South At
1antic and Eastern Gulf coasts where cloudi-
ness increased. The temperature rose decidedly
in the Gulf and South Atlantic States remained
nearly stationary over the lower lakes and cen
tral valley districts and fell elsewhere. The winds
continue from fresh to brisk over the lake re-
gions and in the Northwest. They blow freshly
on the Middle Atlantic and New England coasts
md are generally light in the other districts,
The course of the disturbance that is moving in
the lake regions is northeasterly, on account of
the large area of high barometer that extends
over the southern portions of the country, and
there is no likelihood of our district being af
fected very much. The weather over the Brit
ish Islands is unsettled The fall in the barom-
eter continues and the wind is increasing at
some stations on the western coasts. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be slightly warmer and fair or partly
cloudy. Tomorrow the same conditions are
likely to prevail.

Facts About the Fisheries.

Secretary Evarts, some time ago, sent
Collector F. j. Babson, of Gloucester, and
Mr. Foster, of Boston, to the coast of New
foundland in o man-of-war, TO look into and
make report on the action of the colonial
people toward our fishermen. They have now
returned and report that the colonists are
persuaded that they may construe the treaty
as they like that the colonial merchants
find that our exercise of the treaty rights in
jures their trade, because our fishermen
pay cash for bait and tn us relieve some part
OF the Newfoundland shore population from
their dependence on the outftters; that
our fishermen use better tools and appli-
ances, and hence catch more fish than the
slow-going colonists, and that oil these
causes combine to create an intense jealousy
Of our people.
theless wrong as wrong can be. The
British governmen ent, which owns the colo
MES and exercises sovereign rights over NIL
that belongs to Newfoundland or any other
of the provinces, in the Treaty of Washing
ton gave to us certain rights, for which we
have since paid sum greatly above their
value. The real complaint of the provinces
is that the British government did very
cold bloodcd and selfish act in giving us
these rights, and we will admit freely
that this is true We believe that
if our government had been able to
negotiate on the fishery trouble directly
with the Dominion government, or perhaps
better yet directly in each case with tho
Province interested, there would be now no
fishery troubles or disputes. We should
have come to a mutual understanding, and
the Newfoundland people, ior instance,
having made treaty with us, would. wo
have no doubt, honorably adhere to it.
We do not blame them for kicking against
q treaty which they did not make and about
which they were not consulted. But as
they find it 30 disagreeable to themselves,
will they not help us to persuade the
British government to nbrogate the treaty

Our Quintuple Sheet.

From all kinds of businesses como en-
couraging reports, which serve to show
that the trade improvement is general.
Our city merchants are now buster with
orders for the fall trade than they have
been in the early part Of September for
many years past. Early and lively is the
general commercial comment. It seems as
if the confidence which has been slowly
generating was beginning to rush freely
through the pipes OF trade, setting the en-
gines of commerce going at full speed.

has been lying idle for SO long. Re
sponsive to this movement, or rather as q
part thereof the advertisements which
bring buyer and seller face to face in the
HERALD columns come pouring IN at such
q rate as to oblige us again to issue a quin-
tuple sheet. Moreover, the signs ON all
sides point to continuance of this press
ure on our columns, and 1t is needless to
say that the HERALD has taken means to
meet every demand Of the kind which the
business public may press upon US.
Ranged compactly, classified carefully and
indexed exactly. the sixty-one and n quarter
columns Of multifarious wants and oppor-
tunities which we print to-day form in
themselves feature of interest to the most
casual reader. We are aware that, while
the majority of our readers look as regu-
larly as the paper is issued into
from one to six different kinds
of advertisements, each reader according
to his calling or station, there are many
who only read advertisements casually and
when they have gone through the juicier
topics of news. But it is within the expert
ence Of every one that even when not con-
scious of any particular want, of house or
horse to buy or situation to obtain. he
has found himself absorbed in the study of
the curious world Of exchange which such
paper as a quintuple HERALD offers to
him in addition to that epitomized world

him. To the latter class as we'll rs those

The Afghan Revolt.

Afghanistan has perhaps added one more
to the tragic stories that are dotted all
along the line of the history of England's
empire in India, for it is barely possible
that the revolt at Cabul stopped short OF
the massacre of Major Cavagnari and his
suite and the small military force retained
at Cabul for their protection. It cannot, of
course, be pretended that the government
was unwarned on this subject. All its
intercourse with the Afghans has Demon
strated the savage and treacherous char
acter of that people; and this nature of the
race was so notorious that it was un pardon
able not to keep 1t constantly in view in all
dealings with them. There is even this
particularly, that in all repressions of
these people by British force there must
be at some point in the story one of these
fierce and murderous explosions. Once an
explosion Of this sort resulted in
the butchery Of all that was left
of an army of invasion. Yet the
Indian authorities completely neglected the
fact that this explosion had not yet oc-
CURED in this war when they relaxed their
vigilance, withdrew nearly their whole
armed force, and presumed that the coun-
try was tranquil and satisfied because the
son Of the late Ameer had made conditions
with them. But the difficulties of the gov
ernment were great It hurried things
through at the end and withdrew its force
precipitately, partly, perhaps, on account
of the cholera, but more on ac-
count of the desire to make as good show
as possible on the point of expenses for
whether England paid or India paid On
enormous budget would serve as legiti-
mate basis of an effective criticism in Par
lament Government, therefore, shirked
the military responsibilities that properly
attached to its invasion and absorption, in
order to avoid expenditures; and its cheap
plan of annexation bids fair to prove very
dear one

and sleeps well. and all the confusion and
mismanagement and corruption and dis
grace do not affect him. We are not attack
ing the Mayor. We want to point out the
irredeemable vice of system of govern
ment ingeniously contrived by republican
and democratic politicians to protect them
selves from the people. to leave fixed re-
sponsibility nowhere and scatter great
powers everywhere, SO that abuses may be
merely from punishment, but even from in
reference.
Under the most respectable Mayor the
city has had for a quarter of a century wo
see condition of confusion, maladminis-
tration. demoralization in the city govern
tho Mayor down-nobody concerned in
these matters appears to be ashamed or
in the least alarmed. Why should they be ?
The charter fosters inefficiency, it protects
maladministration, it encourages the most
shameless neglect Of duty in officials, be-
cause it prevents the people from hold
ing any one man responsible. If the
Mayor had the power to summarily re-
move all the subordinate officers,
if the responsibility of giving the
city an honorable and efficient admin
istration were put clearly On him, then Mr..
Cooper would have long ago either expelled
these disgrnceful Commissioners or he
would himself before this have felt the con-
tempt of the whole city as ON unbearable
burden. We do not think he has done his
duty to the city as matters stand; he has
weakly succumbed to the system and to
the requirements of his partisan friends.
He might have served the city at least by
vigorously calling public attention to tho
fact that to certain extent his hands are

Mr.. Menocal on the Canal and the
Congress.

Some further consideration of the va
rious projects for an isthmus canal may be
found in an interview which we print to-
day with Mr.. Menocal, one of the delegates
Of the United States government to the
Paris Congress-, and the man, perhaps,
above all others qualified to deal with this
subject by his ample knowledge of all its
phases which pertain to the engineering
side OF the case. Every subject of
the importance of this canal becomes
inevitably surrounded by q Wilderness
of opinions and facts-the learned
rubbish of theorists; so that the few dis
tiLct facts which it is important to know,
Judgment for one route or another, are OBJ
tanned only at the expense OF sort of
literary excavation. In this interview the
reader will find them on the surface. AS
to the Panama route-the route favored by
the French projectors-it is said that the
canal will cost about two hundred and
eighty millions of dollars-two hundred
and forty million dollars for actual con-
struction and forty million dollars to
buy out the Panama Railroad Company,
which owns the land and owns the conces-
sion. It will take ten thousand men twelve
years to construct this canal. Only twenty
four ships can pass through it in one day
on the French estimate. Tonnage dues
must therefore be such that eight thousand
seven hundred and sixty ships shall pay
returns on two hundred and eighty million
dollars. Finally, it is doubtful whether the
natural difficulties do not actually stand in
the way OF all this project; whether annual
floods would not prevent the con-
struction of the canal or wash it
away if constructed. The Nicaragua
route. the one favored by American engi-
neers, can be constructed in half the time.
1t saves above the other a distance of seven
hundred miles for every ship from United
States port to North Pacific or Asiatic
port. 1t will cost at the utmost sixty-five
million dollars. There can pass every day
one hundred and forty -four ships. There
are no great difficulties. Mr.. Menocai
makes the same report that others have
made Of the Congress as organized by
schemers to float bubble; and it is an evil
dence that the public is penetrable to pub
lished facts that the project has amentably
failad
