The Fishery Question.

Two of our fishing vessels have been
captured by Canadian armed vessel and
are held in the limbo of the law.
1t would seem that our fishermen
either have been peremptorily dealt
with without a justification in law, or
that we have permitted the Canadians
to enjoy most unfair advantage In
her commercial relations with us.
The Canadian version of the law is
that our fishermen dare not buy bait
or ice in any harbor in the Dominion
and dare not take fish within three
miles of the Canadian shore. The cap.
tains of the two vessels that have been
captured ventured into harbor and
had their vessels taken from them by a
cruiser of the Canadian Goldfish Navy.
There may be no occasion to get ex'
cited or to want to fight about the mat
ter, when we once learn just what the
facts in the case are and what the law
is, but if our northern neighbors have
presumed too far upon our Uncle Sam,
1t will not be right that he shall be sat
isfed with notification to them not to
do so any more. The great American
Eagle should be induced to soar
around and scream little, if for no
other purpose, than merely to waken
up the British Lion, who, we really be
lieve, comes away from Irish Home
Rule, Russia in Afghanistan and the
Sick Man in the East, to visit his step
sons and daughters in America when
ever he wants to take a nap undisturb-
ed and in assured safety.
The Canadians must not capture too
many of our fishermen, relying upon
our standing in fear and trembling of
her powerful mother across the pond ;
she might find herself sending Senators
and Congressman to Washington and
be under the rule Of Il bran new bride,
instead of widowed Queen.

War i'm the East.

AS has been indicated in these col
umns from the outset Of the trouble be-
tween Greece and Turkey, war in ear
nest has at last broken out between
these two powers.
The war party in Greece, accord
ing to late reports, has been driven
from power ID the Greek government,
yet it would seem that the army has
no idea Or intention of going home
without having first killed some Turks
and severe fighting certainly occurred
at the front on Saturday and Sunday
last.
1t is true that war has not yet been
declared between the two powers and
may not be, but should general battle
take place through the obstinacy of the
army commanders, it will very readily
occur, that formal declaration will
follow, not by choice but of necessity.
It is only in tins way that war has u.s.
ually come between Turkey and its
semi-dependencies or its neighbors and
if, as it is believed, Greece is relying
upon promise, or if not a promise, a
belief that in event of a war with Tur-
key, Russia could not fail to become
embroiled, then all the pacific promises
of the peace party in power at home
will scarcely be able to control the
army now that blood has been shed.
There also comes an ominous growl
from Roumelia, Turkish mi-depen-
dency in which Russia is interfering to
make trouble, 80 that that whole re-
gion is in condition to take fire upon
the slightest pretext or provocation.
If Turkey gets through the summer
without having a big war on her hands,
she may, in our opinion, count herself
fortunate. In event of it's breaking
out, there are many reasons for the be-
lief that it would only be with the
greatest difficulty that others of the
great powers of Europe could save be-
ing embroiled.

The Anarchists, who thought to work
off some of their venomous spite against
law, order and decency, while the
workingmen's movement gave evidence
of feeling, found first, that, although
they were allowed a much freer use of

countries from which they emigrated,
yet that Americans resented overt acts
of villainy as promptly and decidedly
as the governments from which they
had fled and second, that when they

One Of the funniest things that the
newspapers of this country has sue
ceeded in doing recently, is the making
Of it doubtful whether President Cleye-
land intends to marry Miss Folsom, or
her mother. However, the doubt ls
pretty we'll cleared away by this time
and it is pretty certain that If he in
tends to marry anybody, it will be the
daughter.
One of the disgusting features of the
affair is the boasting of a young man,
who does not say so directly, but in
sinuates that the President is second
choice and that he, himself at one time
occupied first place in Miss Folsom s
affections.
The President will hardly be jealous
OF him, but will probably see that he
gets a position at his stables or othel
suitable place.

Mending Broken limbs.

The legs of any animal which may
be broken by accident can be repaired
by the use of wet paper bandages. For
large animals the strip of paper should
be dipped in paste made of calcined
plaster of Paris, which soon sets and
makes a stiff, permanent bandage,
which holds the broken bone in place
until it heals. The animal, horse or
COW, should be held in sings to pre-
vent injury to the limb by violent mo-
ton. The broken legs of small ami
mails, as sheep or fowls, require only
to be brought in proper position and
bound with strips of wet paper until a
sufficiently strong bandage is made. A
covering Of cloths then put on and Sc
cured with few stitches, or tied with
a tape or string. The paper soon dries
and becomes hard and stiff. Nothing
more need be done but keep the animal
in quiet, dark place, to restrain too
much movement. A little movement
does no harm, but excites infiamma-
ton needed to produce union and heal
ing Of the bone. IN. 4. Star.
