the FISHERIES.

The Home governments approval of the
Dominion Porliament's amendment to the
fisheries act does not augur very well for a
speedy settlement of the fisheries question.
Last summer when the Canadian cruisers
commenced to seize our vessels for purchas-
ing bait and ice, the question of the legality
of such proceedings under the Canadian fish
cries act was raised, and 1t was found that
the act did not sufficiently cover such cases,
inasmueh as it did not provide the penalty
of confscation. Prosecutions WERE there
fore, made under the customs act for in
fringement Of customs regulations, in cases
of neglect to enter and similar offences and
fines imposed. Last session Minister Foster
introduced, and had passed. an act to amend
the fisheries act, in which it is provided it
shall not be legal for iishing vessels to enter
Canadian ports for any other purposes than
those expressly stipulated in the treaty of
1878; that is, for shelter, for repairs, for OBJ
tanning wood or for obtaining water" This
act was intended to provide the penalty of
confseation for purchasing bait or ice, and
VIII give the Canadian government much
more freedom of action in dealing with tres
passing fishing vessels. This is the act the
Home government has approved. The prac-
teal effect of it is to declare that our permits
ito touch and trade" when carried by fish
cry vessel will not be recognized, and that
an American fishing vessel that purchases
anything in a Dominion port except wood
and water win be liable to seizure, no matter
where she intends to fish. Our contention
has been that these were commercial privi-
la0as xybiah bt-e 81
subsequent to the treaties of 1878 were prac-
tically guaranteed to our vessels. The APP
proval of the Dominion act seems to show
that the Home government does not intend
| to admit this claim.

The death of John A. Logan is a very
painful surprise to the country. His illness
did lot take on a serious form until Satur-
day. and owing to the general suspension Of
the evening papers comparatively few peo-
pie were aware Of it. A large part of the
public is, therefore, entirely unprepared for
the sad announcement made this morning.
Gen Logan was sixty years of age. The
greater part of his life was spent in the ser
vice of his country. Though not trained in
a military school he became one of the most
distinguished generals of the civil war, re-
signing his seat in Congress to accept COM
mission in an Illinois regiment and remain
ing in the field until the great struggle was
over and the Union had been restored. His
career as soldier needs no eulogy. No
drawer man, no man more devoted to the
cause he served buc1led on the sword in that
perilous time than John A. Logan. He was
she idol Of his troops in the field, and when
the war was over and the great organization
of veterans known as the Grand Army of the
Republic was Termed his great popularity
with them was attested by his selection as
their commander. None of the generals of
the civil war have teen dearer to the sol
diers than he, and his death will come to
them as personal bereavement.
The same qualities that distinguished him
as soldier were conspicuous in his civil
career. He was fearless frank and sincere.
His opinions were held tenaciously and
avowed boldly. Deceit and hypocrisy were
foreign to his nature. What he appeared to
be he was-an honest, sturdy, manly man,
delivering powerful blows but scorning to
take an unfair advantage of an opponent.
The fierce light that has beat upon his public
career of more than thirty years revealed no
spot or tarnish on the lustre of his character.
The death roll of the heroes of the civil
war is fast lengthenng. A few years and
they all will be but memories, but memories
which will last as long as the Union which
they fought to save. Their names are en-
shrined in the hearts Of grateful people,
who will transmit them with their fame I'M
dimmed to posterity Gen sLogan's con-
temporaries have assigned him the high
est place among the volunteer generals His
tory will no doubt confirm this verdict.

Senator Cullom predicts that the confer
ence report on the interstate commerce bill
will pass the House soon after the holidays,
and that the measure will have become a
law when Congress adjourns. The railroad
companies are making strong fight against
1t, however, and to some Of its provisions
their opposition seems to be reasonable. The
clause which forbids pooling is the one they
specially object to. They say that the pool
plan is only an arrangement to prevent war
Of rates, and that instead of being inimical
to the public in the long run it is really to
their advantage. Rate wars are calamities
The public get some temporary benefit from
them, but in the end have to make up the
losses. That is pretty well understood now
adays, by the public as well as by the rail-
road companies Instead of crushing monop-
oily, which is the ostensible object Of the
anti-pOol clause, the railroad men say it win
really promote it, inasmuch as resulting rate
wars will crush out the smaller competing
lines and throw the entire through business
into the hands of the stronger companies.
1t would seem to be wise precaution to
commit some discretion in IT, matter to the
commission which the bill contemplates, as
has been done in regard to the 'long and
short haul" question. The transportation
business of the country is so complicated and
so intimately connected with the business
interests Of the country that very great eau
ton is necessary in establishing rules for its
regulation.

sas." Doubtless the men that make this
sort of talk are earnest sympathizers with
Spies and Parsons, and not the reputable
members of the order. The proper way for
Mr.. Powderly to treat them is to ignore
them entirely, and stick to his circular If
he allows himself to be ''bulldozed" by
them as he did by Martin Irons. a man after
their heart and modifes or withdraws his
circular then his own end as head of the or
ganization, and perhaps the end of the or
ganization also, is near. The great majority
of the Knights are respectable laboring men,
who have no sympathy flor cutthroats and
assassins, like the Chicago anarchists, and
who will not tolerate as the head of their or
ganzation one who weakly surrenders to its
lowest and smallest, though nosiest element
Mr.. Powderly should remember his expert
ence with the Missouri Pacific strikers, and
not repeat the blunder he made then.

The Civil Service Commission are prepar-
ing their annual report. 1t is said it will
show steady advance of the principles of
the reform among the masses, and a contn-
ued improvement in the civil service of the
country through the application of those
principles Considering what the reform has
had to contend with for the Last two years
this is very gratifying. Yet W i Higgins at
the head of the appointment division of the
Treasury, with competent Off i;.s turned out
daily for no other reason than to make room
for party workers, and with such perform
ance as the Presidents in the cases of Benton
and Stone staring the country the face, it
will not be worth while for Tie commission
to undertake to persuade the people that the
civil service reform millennium is very close
at hand.

The elections for members of the Ontario
legislature are very likely to indicate conclu-
sively the fate of Sir John Macdonald when
he next appeals to the people of the Domin-
ion. The Tories have already sustained
crushing defeats in New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Quebec and Prince Edwards Island,
and suffered severe losses in Manitoba If
defeat oyertakes them in Ontario then the
death knell of Sir Johns government will
have sounded. The Premier fully realizes the
Importance of tomorrow's contest, and has
impressed all his lieutenants into the service
besides mounting the stump himself. The
weight of opinion seems to be that he is
doomed to defeat.

Lord Randolph Churchill threatens to
make some startling disclosures, if he is
given sufficient provocation. It's intimated
that the noble lord has discovered some very
crooked proceedings in the war department,
which he would be very glad to show up.
He has never lacked holiness and he has
lots of fight in him. If therefore the Tories
continue to pitch into him for withdrawing
from the Cabinet doubtless he will soon
favor them with piece of his mind.

HARPERs YOUNG PEOPLE has been called
"the model Of what periodical for young

commentator is amply sustained by the
large circulation thas attained both at home

to provide the best and most attractive read
ing for young people at a low price.
Every line is subjected to rigid editorial
scrutiny, in order that the paper shall coil
tain nothing harmful, and that it shall be an
effective agency for the mental, moral, and
physical education of its readers. It's sto-

nile fiction can possess, without anything
pernieious. Its articles on scientific subjects,
travel and the facts Of life, are by writers
whose names insure accuracy and value. Its
historical stories, biographical tales, etc,
present attractiyely the most inspiring Incl
dents in history, and in the early lives Of
notable men and women; in every number
