The Canadian View.

gentleman who accompanied Collector
spection in Canadian waters tells HERALD
correspondent that s'the Canadians have no
knowledge of what treaty is; they think
the waters are their own property, and that
they can exclude whomsoever they please" I"
The gentleman who makes this report ap-
pears to think the Canadian view prepos-
ferrous and unreasonable; but in this we
differ from him altogether.
The Canadian view is entirely right and
reasonable. The waters are their own
property, and they ought to have the right
to exclude from them whomsoever they
please. The mistake which has been made
has been in treating these waters as not
Canadian at all, but as British. To Great
Britain the question who fishes in Canadian
waters is and has been matter of minor
moment. When we negotiate treaty with
Great Britain the English try to obtain
what they want of us and throw the Canadian
fisheries in as sort of makeweight They
use little or no care to guard the rights or
to consult the wishes of the Provincial
people.
Hence it follows that every new treaty is
only the beginning Of o new fuss and the
fishery troubles are chronic. If the Cana
dian government and ours could negotiate
directly, and without the interference of
Great Britain, in this and other matters,
we should come to some amicable and final
conclusion very easily and certainly.
The fishery clauses of the Washington
Treaty, it is now plain, have settled nothing.
We hope Secretary Evarts will be able to
persuade the British government to aban-
don them at once, and then we hope the
Canadian government and the United States
will be able to negotiate real and lasting
treaty. 1t would be still better if, in regard
to the fisheries, we could deal directly with
the separate Provinces, but this is perhaps
too sensible o thing to expect OF this
moment.

The Massacre at CabuI.

The supposition is expressed in London,
through the columns of the Times, that the
disaffection by which Major Cavagnari and
his party lost their lives was not part OF o
general uprising against British authority,
but mere local fmeute. Doubtless the
English Cabinet would be glad to have this
view gain general acceptance, and the pub
lie will certainly rejoice to oblige the
administration to this extent-if the sup
position is finally sustained by the de-
spatches. If the English people obtain any
but rose-colored views of existing military
operations the fault will not be traced
to Downing street, for contrary I'M
pressions are more than the govern
ment is in position to endure, and
they will not be allowed SO long as the
news can be officially doled out. The
actual and entire truth about the Cabul
affair will probably first reach the world
from the pens OF newspaper correspondents,
and some time must elapse before these
can reach the scene Of the disturbance In
the meantime, that portion OF the public
that reads and thinks will recall the fate of
other English parties that have penetrated
Afghanistan they will remember that in
the nature Of things the Afghans regard
England only with hatred, and that these
wild but determined people have country

about as hard for him to leave

South ceases to be solid there will be no
democratic President.
BY the way, why does not some infiuen-
tial South Carolina leader like General
Geary organize the independent movement
and call into it the greater part of the col
ored vote? According to the best accounts
the negroes in South Carolina do not mean
to vote the democratic ticket; and if they
vote against the democrats, and if they are
allowed to vote. they will carry the State.
Now, as they must be allowed to vote,
would it not be wise, therefore, to have
them worthily and ably led?

the Middle Atlantic States very rapidly and is
now over Nova Scotia and the northern sections
of the New England States. II developed great
energy as it progressed toward the ocean and
was preceded in some districts by very severe
electrical phenomena. The thunder storm that
passed over this district about midnight on
Sunday was of very sudden development and
was very destructive in New Jersey. The
barometer rose very quickly throughout the
western and central sections of the country
after the disturbance reached the New
England States, and is now highest in
the Upper Mississippi Valley. In the Gulf
States it is falling steadily. particularly on the
western coast, where the northern margin of n
depression is becoming well marked Rain

OBITUARY..
WILLIAM MORRIS HUNT, PAINTER.


despatch from Portsmouth. N. H., announces the
death by suicide ct the Isles of Shoals yesterday Of
William Morris Hunt, OF Boston, the we'll known
American artist. He drowned himself in tank ut
the hotel Appledore Island. The cause of tho
act is not known, for, when last seen alive. he
seemed to be in excellent spirits His death is prob
ably attributable to sudden freak OF morbid
impulse. Mr.. Hunt had been at the Isles of Shoals
for several weeks engaged in his favorte work and
study. 1t is sad event in the history of American
art
william NJ Hunt was born at Drattleboro. VT, on
the 3st of March, 1924 At the of sixteen he en-
tered Harvard but completed tho course,
being obliged to leave account of failing health.
After this restored largely by outdoor life and
freedom from study. he went abroad, intending to
devote himself to sculpture, and entered the Acad.

Paris where the attraction of the French school of
figure painting fastened itself upon him and de-
cided his future path in art In 1s4S he be-

worthy direction to the artistic impulse in New

of discussion and difference of opinion as Mr. Hunt
