THE GREAT MAJORITY.

THE GREAT MAJORITY.
From the Detroit Free Press
A Detroiter who was in one OF the
upper counties of the State a few days
ago met a friend of whom he inquired
about certain others, and finally asked:
"What has become of old John
White"
"Oid John Why, he joined the
great majority year or two ago"
"Ah. too bad. He was pretty
good man." =.
Yes, one of the best in the country"
Ten minutes after, as they were
passing down the street, the Detrolter
called out:
"Why, there is the old man over on
the corner" :"
Eyes, that's old john

kERP YOUR EEsT FOR HOME.

There is no place where good man
ners and punctilious etiquette is OF more
value than in the home. 1t is the
moral agent of good breeding; it is the
law that governs the manifestations Of
kindness and good feeling, and also the
law that restrains unkind and ignoble
traits of human nature from expression.
Keep your best temper for home. In
society, on the streets, in business,
everywhere, it is easier to control that
attribute, if we guard the hasty word,
the peevish tone, the irritating action
in the home circle, and study to wound
none Of its inmates.
Keep your best spirits for home.
Nowhere do gloomy and depressed spir-
its tell so disastrously as at home. The
parents may have just cause for anxiety
and care, but it is wrong and unjust to
shadow the young life of children with
anxieties they can not appreciate,
and cares they can not understand.
The tendency to brood over
trouble or misfortune increases with
its indulgence. So. also, the dispo-
sition to be cheerful and happy at
all times increases with cultivation.
This is by far the most admirable trait.
Those who are sunshiny and cheerful
always have the most friends, and
where are friends SO true and loyal and
SO desirable to perpetuate as those CT
home and family: The old comparison
OF the bent twig is as true in this case
as in any other, and children who grow
up in an atmosphere of foreboding OF
the future, anxieties about the present,
cynical reflections on the motives and
actions of people about them, are train
ing a tendency to be miserable and sad,
and in their turn cast shadows, instead
of sunshine, on the path OF all about
them.

MEETING OF FISH EXCHANGE
At PoTtland-An Interesting Letter from
Hon. Thomas Is. Reed.


PORTLAND, Dec. 10.
At the meeting of the Portland fish ex-
change this afternoon the following delegates
to the American fishery corion, Gloucester,
Dec. 9th. were chosen. Geo. Trefethen,
Oren p, Whitten, A. NJ. Smith, j. A Emery.
c. A. Dyer, 4. II. Chase, A. NJ. Joyce. They
were instructed to cooperate in an endeavor
to discontinue the fishery clause in the
Washington treaty, and the following letter
from Congressman T. B. Reed was read
WASHINGTON, Dec. II, 1884
GENTLEMEN:
Your favor relating to the abrogation OF
the fishery clause of the treaty of Washing
ton reached me last night and had my i'm
mediate attention. This forenoon | called
upon the secretary of State and found the
condition OF affairs to be as follows: We
have already given notice of the desire of the
United States to terminate these clauses at
the expiration of three years. The clauses
will be terminated without any further action
on the part of anyone. The fish will then be-
subject to tariff, just as if the Washington
treaty had not existed. No more legislation
will be needed. | can add, also that the ad-
ministration have no intention of doing any
thing to prevent the termination of the pres
ent unjust condition of affairs, The fact that
Canada on one hand is by large meetings urg-
ing the removal of the treaty and that our
people on the other hand, with at least equal
earnestness are protesting against such action
is an interesting commentary on the decision
that we owed five and half millions for
privileged we don't want, and they do. / do
not anticipate any pressure to renew thUse
fishery clauses from any quarter. Thus far,
at least, the public opinion has been in this
country all one way. In conclusion beg to
assure the committee that if any occasion
should arise no effort on my part shall be
wanting to protect the just rights of those
you represent.
Very Truly,
+. b. REED.
To Messrs A. Nj. Smith, T. c. Lewis, and
ID. G.. Fernald.

FROM NEW YORK.
FItZ John Porter Named as ThOmpson's
SuccessOr-Cleveland, Bayard
and the Cabinet.

New YORK, Dec. Is.
Mayor Edison will today nominate Hubert
0. Thompson's successor as commissioner of
the board of public works. 1t is generally
believed he will nominate Fitz John Porter.
The Worlds Washington special says: Mr..
Bayard has been offered the secretsryship of
State. He has that offer under consideration
and will probably accept it. 1t is understood
Gov. Cleveland told Mr.. Bayard he would not
decide on any other cabinet place until after
his resignation of governorship of New York.
MIR. Bayard's present position is very similar
in one sense to that of Mr.. Blaine when Gar
field began to make up his cabinet. Mr..
Bayard, like Blaine, has been an unsuccess-
full presidential candidate in the national con-
ventions and aside from any question of pub
lie policy, the personal reasons for his enter
ing the cabinet now are very similar to those
which influenced Mr.. Blaine.
Wilmington special to the same paper
SAYS Senator Bayards personal friends here
believe he has been offered place in the cab
met and has even been urged to accept. 1t is,
however, more than probable that he had de-
cided to continue as a leader of the democrat
ic party in the Senate unless he is very strong
ly urged to accept the office of chief adviser
to the President. Senator Bayard has not a
friend here, even including those who stand a
fair chance of advancement by the vacancy
in the Senate, who does not urge him to re-
main where he is as they believe that his
chances for the presidential nomination in
1888, would be much better. 1t is feared
that the election of his successnr,i in the event
of his going into the cabinet would make a
serious split in the democratic party of this
State.
ALBANY, Dec. Is.
Lit. Gov. Campbell, James A. Lindley,
Hon. Jno G. Prather, member of the demo-
cratic national committee, Jno. l. Martin,
one of the Cleveland electors, and Jno. G.
Priest, all of Missouri, called on the Govern
or this afternoon. They came to suggest the
name of James o. Broodhead of St. Louis,
for Attorney General of the United States.
When Senator Bayard came to Albany, it is
understood that he left home with the assur-
ance that he could make voice of any posi-
ton in the cabinet and that he would receive
an appointment. 1t is said on good authority
that after having duly deliberated over the
matter, the Delaware Senator has sent note
to Cleveland, indicating his preference for
portfolio of secretary of the treasury.
