The alewife Is now serving more
practical purpose than lending him
self to the writer's Of these old trasii-
tions. The range OF this fish extends
from the Bay Of Fnndy TO the St.
Johns river. Florida, and al down
this coast line there are fish factories
where the menhaden are worked up
into oil and Commercial fertilizers,
and from the fiaas Of April te the firakr
Of November thousands Of men are at
work catching the fish BY the millions.
The trade report for 1881, for instance,
places the alewife catch at 454, 192,-
600 fish. A vast amount Of capital
is invested ia this industry. There
have been fears that the menhaden
schools wonld be destroyed bv the
progress OF this industry, and with
their disappearance from orr coast,
Bays and rivers. would disappear also
those fan. notably the tailor or blue
fish. which feed upon the alewife; bat
this is not likely to happen, at least
fof years TO come. as the fecundity Of
the alewife is wonderful. Some au-
thorities say that two millions Of eggs
have been taken from single fish.
The number used, or that can be used,
by the factories. is very small frae-
ton Of the immense number that
swarm on the Atlantic coast, within
the limits above named every season;
and a not much larger fraction of the
number destroyed BY other fish every
year. Professor Baird, recognized
authority on all fish subjects, esti-
mates that zen thousand millions Of
slewives are DESTROYED daily by blue
fish alone during the seeson of four
months on the New England coast !;
and Professor GoOde, reasoning upon
Professor Baird's data, concludes that
in the whole range of the ale-wifs and
in the season of six months three
thousand billions Of alewives are an
nually destroyed"

TIE PRESIDENTS MEssAeE.-The

recommendations is one that prompl

wants Congress TO repeal the act max

He recommends that Congress should
pass laws to protect people from the
injustice practIced by railway corpo-

his message by suggesting to Congress
the passage of new Civil rights bill
guaranteeing colored people the rights
which were intended to be secured

Though wide differences of opinion
undoubtedly exist as TO the merits o.

none Of them have yet been assailed

IN MEMORY OF RICHARD Il. REEDER.

worthy Of such expression, for he had many
admirable traits. In my Judgment, Mr.. Rec

well-informed, friendly, bospitable and with
all. modest, engaging and OF becoming man-
ners. Those who were intimate with him,

siituted soRd be his enemy. Notwiihstand-
ing the geuilentss cf his manners, there was
a becoming spirit Of Independents in the main
tenaRce Of his opinions, for reflection formed
bis convictions, and they guided him in bis
duty.
Mr. Reeder, although well qualified, never
espired To or sought public ofIice-indeed, the
means by which public trusts have been at
tanned were repulsive to him. In such a no.
sition, however. he would hare given 60 iEe
public the benefit Of well-informed mind n

7he Reveille can never forgive
Gov. Newell for making the state
mcnt in his speech that "W hatcom
would be large city, but the great
est city would be at the entrance
to the straits" Last week that pa
per pitches into the Governor thus:
/" We have been loosing confidence
in Governor Newell ever since we
learned that he dyes his moustache,
and rehashes the same taffy story
to SUIT every town on the Pacific
Coast" Probably a little more taffy
and o little less candor about the
"city at the entrance to the straits,
would have saved the Governor
from this violent criticism OF the
Whatcom editor.

The ownership of the telegraph
lines by the Government has been
brought prominently before the
country by the strike Of the tele>
graph operators. The press appears
to be pretty generally of the opin-
ion that the Post Office Department
should take the control Of Postal
Telegraph system similar to that
which has been in successful opera :
ton for many years in Great Britain.
This would enable ali classes, rich
and poor alike, to enjoy the benefits
of this wonderful invention, because
it would reduce the price Of tele-
grams nearly to that OF postage, and
would break down one of the most
heartless monopolles Of the age. A
bill looking to this end will proba-
bly, be introduced into the next Con
gress. A general strike among
railroad men might have the same
effect upon the public mind in rela-
ton to those corporations.
