The reform school can never fully realize
the purpose for which it was established UNI
til the features which ally it to the peniten-
tiary are got rid Of. Within half a dozen
years great advance has been made toward
this goal, but there is good deal of inter-
vening space still. The worst feature of the
school as it exists at present is the mix
ing of boys whose worst offences have been
of kind that imply no deep moral turpi-
tude with those who have committed acts
showing criminal instincts and inelinations.
While the school is constituted as at present
this cannot be entirely avoided. But under
the family or cottage plan separation is entire
ly feasible. Were there no other advantage in
that system this one of itself ought to be suf
ficient to secure its adoption. 1t would seem
from the reports of the visiting committee,
which we published elsewhere, that the
school is fulfilling its mission now as well
as it ever can until the system is changed.

The father of young Gledhill, in a letter
published in the Argus insinuates that his
son is only scapegoat and that some one
else is the really guilty person. Not one par
ticle of evidence is given to support this
theory. On the contrary large part of the
letter is devoted to arguing away the evil
dence that points to Gledhill as the guilty
one. His sudden departure is explained
by the elopement story, and it is suggested
that the alterations in his books might have
been made after they went out of his posses
sion. But if it was necessary for Gledhill to
go away to get married, it was certainly not
necessary for him to stay away after he was
married. There is nothing now in his matri-
monial relations to prevent him from coming
back and declaring his innocence. As long
Tas he remains a fugitive, concealing his
whereabouts from everybody it will be of no
use fer anybody to argue that he is not the
real eulprit. His flight and concealment will
be interpreted by everybody Of common
sense as confession. If Mr.. Gledhill is
anxious to convince the public of his
sons innocence his first step should be to
bring him back. Such letters as he writes to
the Argus can do his son no good.

Our whole system Of finance and commerce
is disarranged and exposed to grave dangers
to the certainty, almost Of ultimate dfSas-
terror the benefit Of particular class of
citizens Disguise it as we may, that is the
sober truth in the case. 1t requires no great

policy is incorrect and perniclous.
RIGHTS OF woRKINGMEN.
Philadelphia Times
Workingmen have the right to organize for
the advancement of their mutual interests,
and any action on the part of employers
which looks to denial of this very plain
right must recoil ON the heads of those who
indulge in it. If the workingmen, after or
ganizng, become riotous or diSorderly, if
they attempt to interfere with their employ
ers' business by any illegal means whatsoev-
er, they can be dealt with by the authorities,
and public sentiment will condemn all lille
gal action on their part.
NO COMMISSION ON FISHERIES.
Boston Journal
Those who are engaged in the important
fishing industry have just cause for their
complaint that the proposition of the PreSi-
dent in favor of commission to consider
new treaty with Canada in regard to the
fisheries was made at the suggestion of alien
interests and against the protest of Ameri-
can uSHerInen ln6y 90 not WANT any treaty
because they do not desire to fish in Canadi-
an waters. This is not a false declaration.
On the contrary, it is sustained by the statis-
tics which show that the quantity of fish
caught by American fishermen in Canadian
waters the last year was so small as to be of
no consequence Nevertheless, such papers
as the New York Times, which belongs to
the coterie of newspapers which are always
found opposing American industries when
British interests are involved assume that
American vessels do fish in Canadian waters.
They appear to believe that the cod fisheries
of the Grand Banks belong to Canada, or
that they have some traditional control over
them which makes it necessary for us to pur-
chase the privilege of fishing in that part of
the world. 1t is about time that cur govern
ment should cease to be hoodwinked by the
pretentions of the statesmen of Canada as to
the value of Canadian fisheries to the fisher
men of New England, and proceed to deal
with them upon the fact that their inshore
fisheries are of no value, and that we do not
propose any longer to pay for thing which
has no value. Congress should refuse, there
fore, to create commission to treat for
thing we have no use for on the assumption
that it is of great value.

DAVIS ON GRANT.

The following, we find going the
rounds OF our. exchanges. 1t is certainly
as creditable 10 Mr.. Davis sense justice
as.to Gen. Grants military honestly and
fair mindedness:
The Boston Globe prints letter from
Jefferson Davis, wired April 4th, when
the death of Grant was expected at any
hour. A part OF the letter was stolen
from the wires at the time and sent to
various papers. Afterwards . denial that
Mr. Davis had written such letter was
published. The Globe was under proma
ise not to print the letter until the Cen
erals death. II now publishes the docu>
ment which reads as follows:
Sir: Your letter asking me to give my
views on the subject Of Gen. Grants mill
| itary career has been received. With
most respectful consideration for you and
the influential paper you represent, l
must decline to comply with the request
for the following reasons: Gen. Grant is
reported dying. Although he invaded
our country with ruthless track it was
with open hand and 20 far as l know he
abetted nett pillage nor arson. When his
armies were 50 successful that Gen. Lees
army had not even the power Ito
retreat further Gen. Grant gave terms
bothliberal and courteous and has since
the war shown no malignity nor perpet>
uated ISLANDERS against the Confederates,
either military or civil service. Therefore,
instead of seeking to disturb the quiet
of his closing hours I would, if it were in
my power willingly contribute to the re-
pose of his mind and comfort Of his body
