FISH AND FISHING. The convention of thos e
Interested in the New England fishing industry
was held at Gloucester, Mass, on Saturday.
one hundred and sixty delegates We're present
and many prominent men Of Gloucester were
in attendance. Among the delegates from
Maine were George Trefethen. Oren b. Whit

of Boolhbay; w. T. Maddocks of Southport !;
Daniel W. Perkins of Wells, and others from
Lamoine. Bucksport and other Maine fishing
towns. Letters We're read from our Name
Senators and others opposing a renewal of the
fishing provisions of the Washington treaty
Resolutions We're adopted declaring that re-
nrWa of The treaty will tend to DESTROY our New
England fishing interests. 1t is urged that the
treaty of 1918 first made our fishermen outlaws
to commercial rights in the ports of the prov
inces; the treaty of 1894 gave our markets
TO foreigners and built up the mackerel fishery
ol tne dominion, the treaty OF 1913 sur
rendered our markets and has built up an
enormous British fleet to compete with
Us on the Banks; the foreign trade and COM
merce has largely passed from our hands, and
now our domestic marine service is threatened
1t is urged that let it be demonstrated that
the Brltish-bui.t fleet sustained bv subsidies and
bounties drawn from the United States bv
Halifax award, shall have the control of our
markets and our fisheries must surely 20 down.
Boothbay and othel fishing ports as well, have
severely felt the depressing influence of our
treaties with our Canadian neighbors After
taking measures to represent to Congress the
exact facts i'll the case, the fshermen's conven-
ton voted to form permanent association, to
be known as the American Fishery Union,
with Il president and six directors, four from
Massachusetts and three from Maine. James
Clifford, Oren b. Written and George Trefethen
of Portland are the men from Maine. The
Eastport Sentinel reports that the frozen her
ring business has not been very brisk so far

that it best subserves its own interests by en-
deavoring to advance the interest of its pat

The Journal offers no chromoes, and does not
resort to lottery or other schemes to secure
new subscribers, but will adhere to legitimate
business methods, and hopes to receive an in
creased patronage by deserving it An eX-
change well says:
A newspaper is a peculiar commodity. 1t is
not like a pound of nails or bushe of salt.
People don't shop around to find out where
they can save a cent on a newspaper, but they
buy the one that suits them best even though
they have to pay more for it. They find out
pretty soon whether they get the value received
or not, and hence, live, enterprising paper is
yer required to resort to such shoddy schemes
as 10 reduce its price to secure the patronage
OF the intelligent public. 1t is only the sleepy,
badly managed and worthless papers that are
driven to such eXtremities. And let me say
one more word, and that is, the readers who
would buy poor paper simply because it could
be oh tanned Il triile cheaper than good one
would be of little advantage to advertisers.
Liberal-mnded and intelligent people, who
buy according 10 their judgment and know the
4 difference between legitimate wares and ab>o-
lutte trash. are the class of readers that the lib
era advertiser wishes to reach, and he is gem
orally >hrewd enough to reach them.
Many of our readers will recollect Il very in
teresting letter on the Chinese question from a
California correspondent published in the Jour
nal about two years ago. The sketch of Mrs.
John Brown published last week was from the
same pen. The writer was an intimate ac-
quantance of Mrs. Brown and was asked by
her daughter 10 prepare the sketch for preser-
yaton in the records of the Kansas Historical
Society. In private note our corresponds mt

The Eastern and Boston and Maine Railroad
people figure that on the basis of the two roads
business last year there will be surplus for
the year ending Sept Both, 1885, for the Eastern
Railroad stockholders of $4O,452, after paying
ten per cent. to the Boston and Maine stock
holders and 100000 to the Eastern sinking
fund. 1t is further estimated that the consoi-
datlon will save S200,000 in expenses and that
Improvement bonds will capitalize 100000
which has hitherto gone into expense account.
