MIR. BAyARp,s SIDE OF THE CASE.

Senator Bayard says he is doing all
in his power to protect our fishermen
in Canadian waters. lie has directed
Minister Phelps to demand from the
British Government full satisfaction
for all injuries sustained, aud naturally
does not relish the criticisms which
have been laid at his door. lie has
been neither slow nor has he been
weak, though he may not have re.
sponded to the impetuous demands
made by some of the representatives of
New England in Congress.
The whole trouble. he says, grows
out of the fact that we have no salts
factory treaty with England on the
fishery question and because the SEN
ate will not cooperate with the Ad-
ministration in securing one. Since
the expiration in 1885 of the treaty en-
tered into in 1872, there has been no
compact or convention bearing on the
matter; and the present unsatisfactory
condition Of things is a legacy from
Previous Administration. As soon
as Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated his
administration was besieged with de-
mands for the protection of the
American fishermen, and it promptly
proposed to the Senate that 1t appoint
commission of arbitration. The
Senate rejected the proposition and
has refused to come to the aid of the
Administration, so that its efforts in
behalf of the fishermen are hampered
and consequently not effective. And
there Is where we stand.
1t will be impossible, however, to
stand here much longer. If, as the
Senate insists, no arbitration is advisa.
BILE, what then? The Senate advises
retaliation, but retaliation does not &c
10 the merits of the controversy. 1t Is
only a temporizing make-shift policy
AS Mr.. Bayard suggests, the difficulty
must ultimately be settled by treaty
The British Government will undoubt
edly make reparation for losses thai
are found justly chargeable to her
But what is needed at this immediat,
juncture is peremptory demand tina
the unfriendly acts of the Canadian au
thorities cease; that the further accumu
lation of our. bill of grievances be in
terdicted. This is not New Englan(
opinion merely, it is the opinion of thu
country. and upon this point Secretary
Bayard is not sufficiently explicit.

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

ne UuHkerS anu DTOhcTS Ol NSW
York do not have much to say about
the Morrison surplus resolution, but
what they do say is against it, though
not accompanied by any loud predic-
tions of disaster as a consequence. The
opponents of silver of course protest
against paying the debts of the Govern
ment in that coin, and hold that under
certain contingencies the Government
might be compelled to shut down on
gold payments, thus producing an in
furious contraction and another period
of business depression but the bank
ers as general thing base their criti-
cisms of the proposed legislation upon
Its needlessness and experimental char
acter. They say that such tinkering
with the currency, when there is every
reason. for letting well enough alone,
> is always fraught with more or less
danger and arrangement of financial
matters.
Mr.. Jesse Seligman expresses what
seems to be the prevalent opinion when
he says that there is money enough in
the country to meet all the demands of
business and that the benefit accruing
to the Government from letting out the
surplus and making two or three per
cent. on it would not be so great as to
keep it and thus advance the value of
securities. 1t should be borne in mind,
moreover, that the surplus distributed
would be of little avail unless it could
be forced into circulation. The chances
are that most of it, for greater security
and in the absence of other opportuni-
ties of investment, would be planted In
real estate.
The whole question is surroundel
with uncertainties and needs much
closer and more deliberate inyestiga-
tion than was given it by the House of
Representatives before being sane.
toned by the Senate. The principle
Of the resolution is plausible. When.
ever there is cry for "more money
any legislation that responds to this
demand is sure to be popular. Their,
is natural repugnance to accumu
lations of "idlc capital" in the Treas
nry on the part of those who may
not fully understand the purpose fol
which the surplus is held; and there
is very decided disposition on the
part Of many others to force silver
upon the public creditors, on the as
sumption that as coin II is named II

many arguments at hand to suppor
the resolution. At the same time IL Il
well to examine carefully both side
of the proposition before adopting it,
not In the interest of the banks ol

of the great people who most suffer
through mistakes In the financial
