The Canadian authorities ought to awaken
to the necessity of thorough investigation
of Professor Kinds accusation that the reports
of the Dominion fish trade were falsifed to
deceive the Halifax Commission. He returns
to the charge with fresh array OF facts and
figures. His official connection with the com-
mission made it easier for him to expose the
frauds, and evidently he does not intend to
be silenced by the contemptuous treatment OF
the English and Canadian authorities. In the
interest of future arbitrations of international
disputes this matter should not remain an
open scandal As we accepted the judge
we were bound by the judgment, however
illogical was the process By which it was made
I'D. Hence, it is not for us to take action on
Mr.. Kinds charges A fair arbitration would
show that the privilege Of free market in
this country for Canadian fish was more than
fair equivalent for the right of inshore fish
ing in Canadian waters. Without the pay
ment of $5.5OO,OOO the Canadians would
have had the best Of the bargain. Great
Britain should be the more ready, therefore,
to make an explanation of the inflated Cana
dian statistics, if any can be made, and If
not frankly apologize and make good to us
the amount the Halifax Commission unjustly
compelled us to pay.

Hayti is again in the throes of a revolution.
In fact it is hardly ever in any other condition.
During its existence as q republic only one
President has served out his full term of seven
years. A standing army of 10000 men in
a population of about half million persons
might be expected to lead to just such results
A greater diffusion of education with less
gunpowder is what the republic needs.

Disappearance Of the Yankee.

The report of the New Hampshire
Board of Health contains a tabulated
summary Of the reports of the officers
Of cities and towns, showing the num-
Der Of births, marriages and deaths in
each township in 1881. From this it
appears that 1918 babies were born in
the State that year, Ais being boys,
2.123 girls, and IS mot stated" OF
these 2,744 were of American parentage,
633 were children Of foreigners, $50
were of mixed ancestry, the fruit Of
marriages between Americans and for
eigners, and 542 were classed as un-
known. 1t should be stated in this
connection that all persons born in this
country are returned as Americans,
though their parents may have come
from abroad Immediately before their
entry into this world. Bearing this in
mind, and the further fact that those
children reported as unknown are
probably in most instances the children
of foreigners, and it seems fair to con-
clude that not more than half the ba-
bes included in the list can properly be
called Yankees, and we suppose, II the
facts could be known, it would appear
that not one in four can trace his descent
back more than two or three genera
tons without crossing the ocean or the
Canadian line. Four thousand six hum
dred and fifty persons died in the State
in 1881. and Of these 3,542 were Ameri-
cans, 440 were foreigners, and SOP were
of unknown origin. From this it ap-
pears that there was an actual loss Of
800 in the American population Of the
State from the excess of deaths over
births. If we consider in connection
with this the steady streams Of emigra.

traversing the shell of marble causes it
