Our Eenhaden Fisheries.

We publish below an interesting arii-
Gle from the Belfast Journal. upon TIE
Menhaden Fisheries Of Maine and the
attempt TO -ei at nosght our legislation
for the protection OF our own citizens bv
invoking the interpo,iriou OF Congress.
The subject i very important one TO
the people of Maine. and the sooner it i,
settled that our shore fisheries can be
protected and saved for valuable u.cs
under State laws the better.
Somebody should make the issue in
the Courts il need be and bring the
whole subject up. Il would be hard
lines indeed ii nothing can be done to
prevent our valuable fisheries from being
destroyed, and we do not believe that
the Courts will hold that the people OF
Maine are remedies:
The Legislative Of this State, at Its
last session, passed law iorbIddIng seine
fishing within two miles OF the Shore Il
is claimed now, by those engaged in the
business, that this law, though ostensibly
applying TO Maine operates TO the injury Of
rearly all the New England States which
are interested in the menhsden fisheries.
there being some sixty vessels from Mas
sachusetts alone engaged in this industry
/ Congress has been asked TO interfere, and
10 protect the general right OF fishing along
the coast, and tine House Committee on
Commerce. gave a hearing on the 18Th
inst, 10 Mr.. j. NJ. ,. Williams, OF Boston,
I representing the guano phosphate Interests
aud MessTs. Brightwell and Taliman, OF
/ Rhode Island, representing the fishing in
! terests. 10 was stated TO the Committee
that some thirty thousand tons OF the men
/ baden scraps or ''chum" are used annually
in the guano phosphate business. and that
d large feet OF steamers is engaged In the
\ fisheries. The Maine Legislature law for
bids, under the severest penalties, these
vessels TO catch fish within two miles OF
the shore; and it is claimed on the part OF
their owners that the State OF Maine has
no jurisdiction beyond low water mark
nayIgs able waters beyond that point being
exclusively under the control of the Ma
tiohal Government within the marine
league. The committee has before it two
bills on this subject. one introduced by Mr.
| Phelps, of Connecticut, covering the legis-
lation asked for by the meGhaden fisher T
men. and the other introduced by Mr.. Cox,
of New York. The latter is similar in
many respects to the bill passed by the
Maine Legislature, is designed TO protect
the salt water fish. aud extends over the
entire territory between Cape Henlopen
aud Cape Cod. Such of the Washington
correspondents as have mentioned the
matter, assume that the menhsden CON-
mittee will succeed In their mission. A side
from the legal aspect of the case. IL must
be said that it is rather hard TO have our
| rivers invaded by fleets OF steamers whose
crews in their pursuit OF the menhaden
capture or drive sway other fish, and thu.
destroy cur inshore fisheries just as they
are beginning to again be valuable"
