responsible for the riotous acts which
follow and must be so held before the
law and by the courts. The charge will
be approved by every law and order
loving citizen Of the country. These
men who unfurl the red flag are the foes
alike of labor and good government.

The fishery question is likely to be-
come q serious bone Of contention with
Canada. Another vessel has been seized
for alleged violation Of treaty stipuls-
tions and the end is not yet. What in
ternatiolal complications may arise out
Of these seizures and their disposition
before the admiralty court can only be
conjectured. If their intention be to
force this government into reciprocity
with the Dominion it will very likely
fail of its effect. The United States has
had some valuable experience in that
line, which 1t will not be necessary to
repeat.
The home rule debate is the one theme

The Beeville Bee, edited and pub
lished by Messrs. Phillips and McCurdy,
at Beevile, is the latest addition to the
list of Texas weeklies. 1t is six
column paper, home printed, with
much larger proportion Of home matter
than is usually found in journals Of its
class 1t sets forth the attractions and
advantages of Bee county in plain
business way, and bids for share of
public notice in style that will COM
mand attention. 1t is a fitting represen-
tative of the busy little town at the
present terminus of the Arkansas Pass
railroad grade, which will soon be live
railway station. We welcome the Bee
to our hive, and acknowledge the
courtesy Of call from its genial King
Bee, DR.. c. S. Phillips.
If HOME rule is defeated, her majesty

stone, prime minister.
The May number Of the Forum, a very
thoughtful monthly of the North Amer
lean Review stamp, is upon our table to-
day. This is the third number issued,
and, judging from the specimens already
given to the public, is likely to prove a
very important addition to the practical
literature OF the day. 1t deals with liv-
Ing questions in an impartial manner,
and aims to be independent of all politi-
cal or monetary bias. The table of con-
tents for May will indicate the drift of
the discussions and essays. These are:
