More Pardons.

Yesterday Governor Stoneman pardoned
from the City Prison at Oakland Thomas
Baker. Baker was convicted in the Police
Court of Oakland on the LIST day of October,
1886, of the crime of misdemeanor-to-wi
battery-and was adjudged to pay fine of
$500, and in case the fine was not paid, to
be imprisoned in the City Prison for 800
days, or at the rate of 81 per day, until the
fine be paid. The petition for his pardon
sets forth that he has an invalid wife in
impecunious circumstances, and his i'm
prisonment works a great hardship upon
her.
The Governor also issued pardons to Geo.
Gear, convicted of grend larceny in Stanis-
laus county in 1885, and to Lew Robinson
convicted of murder in the second degree
in Mendocino county in 1886.

4 NPASM OF SENSE.

The seizure of the Adams by the Provincial
authorities was grounded upon the purchase oi
bait in Nova Scotia waters. The captain OF
til vessel asserts that the bait was carried into
port having been obtained at Eastport Me.
II this be true, as there is every reason to
believe that it is, the Provincial officials have
simply made themselves ridiculous, and there
is no ground on which their action can be
justified. The vessel must be released and the
owners will have a strong case for damages for
illegal seizure.
1t is very encouraging to observe that the
Canadian press is gradually coming to Its
senses and admitting that the American argu-
ment that fishermen have legal right to buy
bait as an article of commerce without refer
ence to the treaty of 1918 cannot be answered.
The Montreal Herald comedies that Canadian
officials cannot legally prevent United States
citizen from entering Digby, buying fish bait
and distributing it among the American fish
ng-neet, and that if they adopt this policy no
civilized nation and England least of all. Will
say that they are right This is very invig'
Grating display of common sense III these
views prevail, the Provincial authorities Will
extricate themselves as speedily as possible
from an untenable position. The treaty OF
1878 was not designed 10 prevent commercial
exchanges between the two countries.

THE 1uERICAy IREL4yD.

Mr.. Walter, Of The London Times, in his cable
letter in The TRIBUNE yesterday, quotes the
statement of reporter that the Irish Home
"Rulers have 2O,0OO,O0O Irish in America to
aback them," and also quotes the more recent
statement of John Dillon, reducing the number
to 10000, 900, and Wshes that "some com
"petent authority on the other side of the
"ocean would be good enough to enlighten our
Statesmen as to the correct figure at which
"the really Irish Home Rule element in the
United States, including wives and children,
"may be reckoned." No statstcian can
report how many Of the Irish in this country
are Home Rulers, unless on the broad basis that
practically all the inhabitants of Irish birth and
parentage arc Home Rulers But even on that
basis both the statements quoted by Mr..
Walter much exaggerated.
The census of 1880 embraced an elaborate
investigation as to the parentage of the inhab-
itants. In brief, its conclusions as to the Irish
were that, while there were in the country
1,S54,571 persons of Irish birth, the number Of
inhabitants of Irish DareDtage was about
4,5OO,O0O. A little larger number were the
children of Irish fathers, and little smaller
were the children of Irish mothers Reckoning
the actual increase by immigration from
Ireland since July |, 1880, and adding the
possible increase both of the population of
Irish parentagc and of the recent in migrants
by excess OF births o7er deaths, it appears that
the number of inhabitants of Irish parentage
cannot have increased beyond 5,32S, 1862 at
the end of the fiscal year June 80 1885. The
immigration during the five years following
the census was 345, ,399 from Ireland, and the
increase by excess of births over deaths, in
Guiding the children of recent immigrants a.
well as the children of the 4,5O0, 900 persons
of Irish parentage who were in the country in
1850, was about 4S3,5 Hence it would
appear that the number of Irish Home Rulers in
this country cannot well exceed $685., 1862. or
about one-half Of the lowest estimate quoted
by Mr.. Walter.
There are great many Americans who
sympathze strongly with the Irish in their
aspirations for larger freedom and more just
government of Ireland. The number of
these Americans no statistician will attempt
to repOrt-it probably includes nine
tenths of those who believe in rcpub-
lican institutions, and In local self-govern-
ment as the only safe basis, in an intelligent
community. for government Of any kind.

TILE EORkIGN VII QUESTION.

The debate which is expected to begin to-
day in the House of Representatives on the
foreign mail question will be watched with
great interest Many of the Southern COM
merclal exchanges, notably those in Pensacola,
Mobile and Orleans, have expressed
decided approval of the course of the Senate on
this matter. But it is doubtful If even these
expressions of popular opinion in the South will
influence q sufficient number of Democrats to
give a majority in favor of the Senate amend
ment to the Post Office Appropriation bill.
Unhappily the Democrats have shown a
decided unwllingness to change their past
course on public questions of this kind. While
they have followed the Republicans on various
matters, they still persist in playing into the
hands of England and other nations on this
question of foreign commerce. The steady
decline in the number of ships carrying the
American flag, and the increase at our expense
Of the commerce of other nations, has opened
the eyes of some few Democrats; but the party
leaders are not yet willing TO admit that they
have blundered on this matter, as they have
done on nearly every other great question from
the time they solemnly resolved that the war
was a failure, ana that tie resumption Of specie
payments WAS impossible up to the present
honr. If this appropriation could be div estcd
of the bugbear of Subsidy" enough sensible
Democrats might, however, be found to give
it a large majority n the House. 1t Is the word
subsidy that scarcs them. But it is no more
subsily-in fact not so much subsidy-as the
payments made to railroads and coast wise
steamships for carrying the mails. The Senate
amendment proposes to pay to American lines
A. n, md
other countries 80 cents a mile. The average
rate of pay to coastwise steamboats, for the
same service is go cents mile. The same
unjust discrimination against the foreign
service is seen in comparing 1T with any other
branches of the Post Office service If it is a
subsidy to pay 80 cents mile for carrying the
mails to South America. what shall be said of
the payment of go cents a mile for carrying
them along the coast of the United States
During the last fiscal year American lines for
transporting the foreign mails were paid 2ll
cents a mile; at the same time some of the
foreign lines for like service were paid 50 cents
a mile.
1t is time to stop the ridiculous and meaning
less cry of subsidy" which is now raised
whenever it is proposed to deal in the same
way with American steamships engaged in
the foreign trade as with those having a
monopoly of the coastwise trade. In doing
this every consideration of national interest
dictates that We should be actuated by policy
which will promote Iather than destroy our
merchant marine. The amendment proposed
by the Senate is moderate, and in view of the
benefits sure to follow in the way of increased
trade with South America it ought to be adopted
by the House without cavil.
