THE DOMINION.
A Significant Talk by the Nova sco-
tia Premier.

OETAwA, May 2S.--In an address just is
sued by Premier Fielding of Nova Scotia,
the following sentiment occurs:
In the opinion of the government, the
time has come when the people Of Nova SEQ
tia should once more make an effort to OBJ
tain a release from the Union into which
they were forced The dissatisfaction is so
wide and deep that many are heard to say
that no change could be made for the worse.
Some of these who were the warmest advo-
Gates of confederation in 1867 are now the
most outspoken in their expressions of hos
tilitY to it. After the failure of the repeal
legislatson of 1869 to accomplish its main
purpose, the peple settled down not very
cheerfully. it must be admitted, to make the
best of the situation. "Give the Union a
fair trial." said one. 1t has had long and
more than fair trial, and the verdict against
it is more emphatic than before, We were
assured by the fathers of the confederation
that the affairs of the Dominion could be
carried on for twenty years or more at the
annual cost of $11, ,O00,0 900. But the expendi-
ture exceeds the enormous sum of $35, ,0000 900
while the interest and charges in connection
with the public debt absorb nearly as much
as we were told pay the total expenses of the
government

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-New York and
New Jersey fishermen intend making
strong fight in the Senate against Congress
man Reeds bill prohibiting the catching or
landing of mackerel during the spawn
ing season. The Senate fishery COM
mittee will give hearing on the bill next
Tuesday at 10 O'Clock. Eugene G. Black
ford. fish commissioner of New York, and
other New York fish dealers, will appear
against the bill. Senator Hale is working
earnestly in behalf of the bill, and has noti-
fed several fish dealers in New England of
the hearing and requested them to be pres
ent. The bill will probably pass the Senate.
Defense of the Fishermen.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-It is understood
that at the Cabinet meeting yesterday
which WIS more protracted than usual.Sec-
retary Bayard outlined the defense which he
proposed to have Consul General Phelan and
the counsel employed to assist, pursue IN de,
Tending the American fishing vessels seized
in Canadian waters, and the proposed IN
structions, together with other steps taken
by the Secretary Of State in this matter,
were approved. 1t is understood that, under
the PROPOSED instructions, Messrs. Putnam
and Bfddle, the counsel retained, will pro-
ceed to Halifax as soon as practlcaDle TO
confer with Consul General Phelan. Their
first duty will be to defend the Adams in the
libel suit in the Admiralty Court at Halifax.
This defense will be without cost to the own
ers of the Adams. The suit will be resisted
to the end. If it ends adversely to the
Adams, our government will insist that
Great Britain shall pay for the ship and the
expenses, as in the case of the George Wash
ington lin 1853 The preparations for
vigorous defense of the Adams do not pre-
State Department that Great Britain will
interfere to effect the release of the Adams

it begins. The suit of the Sisters at Port

go to the Senate, and is actively engaged in
circulating his opinion that Mr.. Edmunds has
outlived his usefulness. This ambitious gen.
tleman may have powerful mind, but if he
lives long enough he will learn that no John
Smith, however deftly the first name be con-
cealed, can succeed Senator Edmunds while
that statesman retains his faculties in their
present condition. Because Gregory Smith is
good enough man to run little railroad in
Vermont it does not follow that he is big
enough to engineer an entire State.

but with its administration. The savings
banks of New England and the savings banks
Of New York merit and receive the confidence
Of the people. In Massachusetts, there have
been but two failures in thirty years, and
they were because Of rascality, thing that
the government cannot guarantee against. In
New York there is one savings bank with
10000 depositors. Savings banks require
the best laws and the best possible admins
tration. They require ample capital, the best
ability, and the strictest integrity. But these
can be had, and so long as they can be had in
private life there is no use in rushing to the
government. There are many reasons why
the West has not large savings reserve, but
those reasons are lessening with the years,
and our Legislators and business men should
give the people good and sound system, I'M
der government supervision, as are the ma
tional banks, but managed by private enter
prise and skill, SO that they shall be real
schools for the development Of individual
thrift and selfreliance, and not institutions
that advertise and foster the idea that tho
people are made for the government to con-
troll and take care Of.

A TABLE is published giving the names of
the New York aldermen that, in 1884, voted
for the Broadway railway franchise. Of
twenty-five whose names appear the note
"Out on baip' is added to them Three
others are marked 'fed,v and two "dead."
Another is mentioned as 'fstill at large" and
the remaining one, tInformer in custody !"
This is most scandalous exhibit and should
compel the most rigid examination into the
conduct Of these men while in Office It is
becoming apparent why SO many men seek to
be elected to the Office of alderman in the big
cities, and why they come out of the office
rich men though they may have entered poor.
Beside the direct evil they are guilty o., they
incite others to the commission Of acts that
cannot be tolerated by honest men. Honest
government is impossible except that it be in
the hands of honest men. Thieving officials
mean thieving private citizens. Unless an
example be made of these men it is safe to ex-
pect that more roguery will be perpetrated
1t is scandal upon the people that things
should be thus, but the way out of it is to
compel honesty by Furnishing rogues, whether
they be of high or low degree The duty of
New York city is to send these men to the
penitentiary

1t is evident that no speech in the Edmunds
report hit harder than did that of Mr.. Harrison.
His very concencentration of his argument upon
the removals and appointments in his own State
did more to weaken the Presidents case with
the public than thousand broad generalities or
constitutional arguments. Even the friends of
the administration are calling upon the Presi-
dent to rid himself of the heavy burden by pub
fishing the papers on the credit of which he
made such scandalous removals and selections
And the demands for copies of the speech are
numerous beyond any recent precedent In In
diana it has created an enthusiasm for the Re.
publican Senator which directly increases the
chances of his re election, in spite of the gerry
Wandering of the State by the Legislature in
order to defeat him. Every soldier in Indiana,
of whatever politics, has enlisted afresh to keep
Ben Harrison in the Senate.

with the hypocritical pretensions of the mug
wumps in his State, announces his conclusion
that mugwumpery is only another name for
"Flanaganism," and that reform is the last
refuge of the spokesman" The Massachusetts,
mugwump differs from the hybrid politicians
Of Indiana in having ''hollered" louder, there
by making an impression on the ear of the ad-
ministration and securing some of the rewards
to workers. In this State the De1nscratic
roar overpowered the mugwump cry for recog
milton, and only those bearing the genuine
party trademark obtained the Offices.

tons the President is represented as being very
sad, and everybody knows that Jones is for from
being happy

SENTIMENT moves all mankind to the commits
sion of foolish things. Not long ago Spanish
sailor an American vessel mutinied, and had
to be MORALLY wounded before he could be
dragged from his barricade behind some kero-
sene barrels which he threatened to fire if food
was not furnished him. He died shortly after
he was dislodged. Instead of chucking him into
the sea and going on about their business, the
officers caused the vessels to be hove to; the reg
ular burial service was read. and he was con-
signed to the sea with as much circumstance as
though he were one of the best beloved Of all on
board. The captain, evidently, was no Ken
tuckian.
