THE SALMON FISHERY.

The fishermen ask the Legislature to
repeal the law prescribing the close season.
The Fish Commissioners state in their re-
port that the close season is not long
enough now, and in proof of this they refer
to the fact that salmon full of ripe eggs
have been sold In the San Francisco mar
kets after the expiration of the season.
We believe the Commissioners in prefer
ence to the fishermen, seeing that the lat
ter are controlled by self-interest, while the
former are governed entirely by regard for
the public welfare. The Commissioners
say that the close season even now is
not faithfully kept, but that large quanti-
ties of fish are taken by night, and that
the supply OF fish in the hotels and res
taurants never fails. The Commissioners
have been unable to do anything towards
checking this defiance of the law, owing
to the apathy of local officials, who fear
to offend the lawbreakers lest they should
incur their political enmity. The implica-
tions of this part of the report are disgrace
full to the derelct officials, and constitute a
serious impeachment of our form of gov
eminent. The Commissioners recommend
that the sea lions and seals about the Golden
Gate be destroyed or driven away, as they
consume more fish than all the fshermenput
together. In view of the showing made
by the Commissioners, the Legislature
can find no warrant for repeating the law
fixing the close season, and nothing of that
kind should be attempted.

caused by the flow of mining debris. He
says careful computation shows that be-

terial equal to $4,000, 900 cubic yards was
deposited in Suisun Bay. He states that
San Pablo Bay has also been shoaled l ]
feet in the same period. He is convinced
that the constant deposit of debris in the
future must destroy the channel through
the Golden Gate by causing the bar to
build up until there is no more than 5 feet
at mean low water. This condition may
be long in coming, but he is satisfied that
the debris is competent to produce it

GERMAN POLICE IN RUSSIA.

A dispatch states that the Russian Gov
eminent, finding its native police quite
useless in tracking the Nihilists, has sent
to the Baltic Provinces for large number
of German police, to take their places. If
this report is true, the result can scarcely
be anything else than a great intensified
ton of the hatred which has been growing
for years between Russians and Germans
This animositv had its origin in the fact
that the German civilization was greatly
in advance of the Russian. Recognizing
this, the Russian Government encouraged
the settlement in Russia Of German manu-
facturers, artizans, professional men,
teachers, ETC., and gradually Germans
supplanted Russians in considerable
number of Government positions. To the
masses this had little significance, but the
class from whose ranks Nihilism is re-
cruited, that is to say, the middle class,
was precisely the one which had always
felt the German invasion keenly as a ma
tional degradation. The employment of
German police at st. Petersburg is certain
to aggravate this feeling greatly, and it
may have more important consequences in
spreading the hatred of Germany far
and wide among the common people.
In the event of successful popu-
lar uprising in the near future
such an influence might determine the
country upon plunging into war with Ger
many. Should that war be brought on
under the present dynasty the sentiment
now being created will embitter the people.
1t is indeed possible that the Government
has acted in this matter with purposeful
design to stir up ill-blood between the two
races, for it is becoming more apparent
constantly that Russia's domestic distrac-
tions are calculated to drive the Govern
m,nt into foreign war as Louis Napoleon
was driven,

OPPOSITION TO PROGRESS.

A meeting of ship.owners was held in
San Francisco on Tuesday to protest
against the passage of Senate Bill No.
90, which provides for the establish
ment of Board of Nautical Examiners for
the port of San Francisco, for the exam
nation of masters and mates of ea-going
sailing vessels owned in this State. This
measure was roundly denounced at the
meeting, but upon grounds which do not
say much for the enlightenment of the
protestants. Captain Nelson, according to
one report, ''said that the owners wanted
men to command their vessels who knew
the rocks and trees along the coast-not
{" old ship captains who were afraid of land
''when they saw it. They did not want
"men to run their vessels ashore by the
" chronometer, but men who would keep
''their weather-eye open for kelp; in fact,
they desired to conduct their own
" affairs In their own way, and not
to be kept under the thumb of
"the marine underwriters. Translated
into English this means that the ship
owners of San Francisco want to be
allowed to employ as incompetent officers
as they choose, and that they do not want
to be forced to take rational precautions for
the security of the property which, never
theless, they expect the marine under
writers to pay for if it is lost. Captain
Nelson expressed the sage opinion that the
real advocates of the bill were 90 a lot of
"old broken down she'll backs, who sat
in their fnely-furnished offices uptown
and spun long yarns about the distance
" from some given star to the North pole. +"
In short, the opposition to the bill was the
opposition of ignorance to knowledge, of
tradition-encrusted conservatism to pro-
gress, of fossilism toimprovement. 1t is per-
fectly certain that no harm can be done
by requiring that men who undertake the
command of vessels shall understand their
business. The underwriters have a right
to insist upon this, and the Legislature
cannot with any pretense of justice refuse
their demand OF course it is evident that
the examination of masters and mates can
be made to include all the local knowledge
upon which Captain Nelson insists, but the
proposition that men are the more trust
worthy the less they know of their calling,
which that worthy colleague of Captain
Cutie puts forward, cannot be seriously
maintained. Boards of Nautical Examln-
ers have been adopted in all the principal
ports of the civilized world, and their
value is too firmly established to be ques-
toned now by these old fogy ship-owners
of San Francisco.

The Forthcoming queens speech.

LONDON, February 4th.-The Times, in
leader on the Queens speech, says: Foreign
affairs will probably be briefly dismissed
Anxious attention will have TO be paid to af
fairs in Afghanistan. Great Importance will
also be attached to any announcement re-
specting South Africa. The Queen cannot
fail to refer with becoming sympathy to the
distress in ireland, but the feeling which
may find expression in the royal speech will
be independent of any passing phase of the
Irish political discomfort. There is no rea-
son to suppose that the present agitation will
have any different fate from the preceding
ones.
