NrwvoRK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1880

United States places the amount OF the enormous
figure of three thousand millions Of millions. 1t
is not hard" says the report, TO surmise the men
hadens place in nature swarming In our waters
in countless myrIads. swimming in closely
packed, unwieldy masses, helpless as Hooks oil
sheep close to the surface and at the mercy
of any enemy, destitute of means OF defence OF
offence, their mission is Enthusiastically to be eaten.
In the economy of nature certain orders OF ter
restral animals, feeding entirely upon vegetable
substances. seem intended for one purpose-to
elaborate simpler materials into the nitrogenous
substances necessary for the food OF other animals
So the menhaden, deriving its own subsistence from
otherwise unutlized organic matter, IS preemi-
nently q meat producing machine. Man taxes
from the water annually six or seven hundred
millions of these fish, weighing from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred thousand tons, but his
Indebtedness to the menhaden does not end here.
When he brings upon his table buefish, bonitos'
weakfsh, swordfsh. bass. goldfish what is he eat
iug' Usually nothing but menhaden."
Ia connection with this reference to single artl-
Gle in Professor Baird's report, word in comlnen-
dation of the important work of the Fish Commits
sion may properly be said. This work consists not
only in protecting and securing wider distribution
of the native food fishes of tho United States but
in introducing such valuable foreign varieties as
the European carp tench, sole and turbot. The
Commission is producing, besides, in It's annual
volumes of reports, a library Of exceedingly inter-
esting practical information on tho fishing INDUS
tries of the country.

hecouse of n new tariff which went
iuto operation at the end of the year !;
that larger shipments of steel rails
and of cotton goods have been made to India !;
that the severe Winter on the Continent has
caused larger imports of British fuel. Again,
the European silk crop was failure, and yet
Great Britain imported 439, 900 pounds more
silk than in the year preceding; the Indian III
digo crop was small, and yet Great Britain I'M
ported double the quantity; the French vintage
was very unprOductive, and Great britain
trebled its imports of French brandy. All
these and many other items go to show that u
mere demand from the United States was not
by any means the only cause OF an advance
in prices. great initiation of paper currency
in Russia had considerable effect upon
prices in other lands. and so did tho remark
able speculative excitement during the later
part of the year in France.
One other fact viii be noticed with surprise
the advance in the price OF wheat ana hour
in Great Britain, only eighteen per cent our
ing the year, was much less than that reaIzeu
in other articles of which there was by no
means so serious or general scarcity. Inc
immediate causes of the advance III TINS
country were the resumption OF specie pay
ments and the great influx OF GOLD
TO Day for grain demanded abroad. But the
very fact that gold rather than commodities
was mainly sent in payment for grain bought
from us shows that the general disturbance OF
prices was not quite SO simple in origin or
explanation as some suppose. II the pres
ence of the gold caused great advance
in prices here, its absence from France
Germany and Great Britain can hardly have
had precisely the same effect there. In ilne,
one great cause of disturbance OF prices
throughout the Western world seems to have
been the general failure of grain crops, and
vet it is not at al easy to trace the
many methods by which that great
disturbing cause operated upon movements OF
money, of commodities and of prices IN differ
ent countries. But one effect, il almost every
country was to stimulate very active specu-
lation, alike in money and in commodities
and this, perhaps, goes far to explain phenom-
ena winch might otherwise seem contradictory
and inexplicabe.

DEvORALIziNG THE indian SERv1CE,

Two years ago there was a sham nvestiga-
ton of abuses in the Indian Bureau, and a
report was made impugniDg the capacity of
the ex-COmmissioner Of Indian Affairs, Mr.. j.
O. Smith, and the honesty of his chief clerk,
Mr.. Gapin. Those proceedings were roundly
denounced at the time. by persons familiar
with the workings of the Indian Ring, AS a
device to get troublesome and incorruptible
officials out Of the way. They were criticised
with especial force by President Seelye. of
Amherst, whose purity of character no one
will question, and whose opportunities OF
knowledge, as member of the Indian

The Sherman boom has received an unexpected
impetus from North Carolina. The Republican
State Committee met on Thursday and elected four
delegates at large to the Chicago Convention. all of
whom are pronounced Sherman men. North Caro-
lima has been called Grant stronghold and this
hreaL I'm favor of Sherman has caused a good deal
of anxiety as well surprise. The District dele
yates, sixteen in number, will he chosen either by
fine District committees or by District conventions.
II il thought they will be largely in favor Of Sher

An unusually large and animated meeting OF the
Republican State Committee OF Virginia was held
ot Richmond on Thursday. at which ii was decided
IN mold the State Convention. for the election of
delegates to the National Convention, at Staunton.
on April 81. A majority of the twenty-five Repub-
lcans present 10 said to have been Outspoken in
favor of Sherman, smallernumbcr favored Blaine,
and one favored Grant. Word has been received in
Washin gtOn from South Carolina that the Repubis

Laye a solid delegation to Chicago. Similar news
is brought from Florida by ex-senator Conoyer.
The docility of the Democratic party to Tilden
must surprise even that astute person himself. His
Twist recently executed at Albany has been
ceyed without protest in all quarters save among
the closest allies oil Tammany. There seems to be
q general and hopeless acquiescence in the fact
that the Sage has the party at his mercy, and that
it behoOves the party not to exasperate him into

There are loud complaints by tie Anti-Tilden
Democrats that the action of the State Committee
was extraordinary, unauthorized. irregular. and
calculated to widen the breach in the party. They
say there was no quorum present. and consequently
the vacancies could only be filed in an irregular

lions of Mr.. Edison's electric light, some claim

others conceding too little to suit the inventor.

Attorney General Ward has taken step, for
which many thousands of persons interested In
bankrupt savings banks, insurance companies
trust companies and the like, will be grateful.
In view of the number Of existing receiver
ships, and the lack Of information respect
ing the transactions of some of them, the
Attorney General has issued a letter cali
ing upon all receivers under State authority
whose trusts have not expired. for statement
of the probable time at which their labors can
be closed, % the percentage of the assets when
can probably be made available, and OF such
other information as the public should receive.
This effort is to be supplemented with the pas
sage of a bill which will require from receivers
more generosity in making reports, and VIII
give the Attorney General the right to move
before court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of such officer where the public
interests demand it. The statement that more
than forty receivers have been appointed IN
the past four years proves in striking way
the magnitude of the interests represented III
this matter, and is in itself argument enough
for the passage of the bill.

the plaintiffs had bought for small sum OF

The anti-Blane Republicans OF Allegheny County,
in Pennsylvania, are evidently afraid to trust the

The fame of the schools of Quincy, in
Massachusetts, has induced the teachers of
Yonkefs to seek an authoritative account
of the workings and results of the
system practlsed there. This was afforded
