work a little more tremendously it
would be great deal better for them.
No, they prefer jealous pickering con
tinually, and will fight to the death for
three inches of vantage ground. This
state of affairs is far from right and it
is only aggravated by the issuing OF
such petitions as the one we have Just
been shown and which is being Circu
lated among the stakenet fishers to
the disadvantage of the pollders. Give
the pound men their rights, pay more
attention to your labors and less to the
business of your fellows and YOU may
yet hope to secure the same profits in
the Baltimore markets that YOU once
succeeded in getting Better circulate
petitions restraining the commission
merchants in their warfare on prices
and let your brother fisherman use
whatever nets they please, then YOU
will be gaining something that will be
of advantage to you. Equal rights are
the proper thing in all cases and jeal-
ousy and selfshness have no business
to predominant among class of men
who depend generally upon the
friendly aid one can lend the other for
support.

THE POUND-FISHERS.

The fisherman of the North East and
ousquehanna rivers at North East and
Havre de Grace are at present greatly
agitated oyer petition which has been
widely circulated appealing to the leg
islature to exclude the pound nets from
the waters of the two rivers. This is
no more nor less than a question of
gain and loss between two classes of
workmen. The stake net men could
undoubtedly make more money if the
pound fishers were out Of the way but
they are a great deal too selfish in their
motives and want to treat their brothers
unjustly. There are certainly fish
enough in the waters of the North
East and Susquehanna rivers to fur
nish all the fisherman in Cecil county
with an equal livelihood, but the men
themselves are bitterly opposed to
anything like equality in anything and
seem to greatly prefer discord to har-
mony. They are peculiar class OF
men in fact almost a distinctive class,
and form a body that are powerful to
sway a question either one way or an
other with decisive force. 1t IS evi
dent to US that the movement which
this petition instigate is a very wrong
and unjust one and we wish to express
strong opposition to the framing OF
any law that will exclude the pound
net fisherman from their right to work
in the waters of the two rivers before
mentioned. 1t is all fallacy that the
pound-nets destroy as many or more
young fish than the stake-nets. Com
mon sense will prove this, if the OILERS
do not want to consult the question
from scientific standpoint, and it is
high time some common sense was
brought to bear upon their arguments.
The fishery laws of Maryland are al
ready strict enough and sufficiently
binding to answer every purpose of the
honest fisherman. And it is only the
greedy OILERS who will dispute their
efficacy. 1t IS our belief that the fish
ermen of the North East and Susqueh-
anna rivers should all be able to reap a
lylihood from what they catch in those
waters and if they would 60 about their

At the opening of the winter session

century there was none perhaps for
which we ought to be more grateful than
for the easier access of books. lie pI0

would recommend a hundred good books.
In the absence of such lists have picked
out the books most frequently mentioned
with approval by those who have referred
directly or indirectly to the pleasures of
reading and have ventured to include
some which. though less FRI quently
mentioned, are especial favoritcs of my
own. At tie head of air non Christian

of Marcus AureliuS. certainly one OF the
noblest books in the whole of literature,
well translated that it is always a source
of wonder to me that it is so little read.
Tne 'Anaircts' of Confucius Will, think,
prove disappointing to most English
readers, but the effect it has produced on
the most numerous race of men consti-
tutes in itself peculiar interest. The
Ethics of Aristotle perhaps appear to
some disadvantage from the very fact that
they have so profoundly Influenced our
views of morality. The Koran will to
most of us, derive its principal interest
from the effect it has exercised, and still
exercises, on so many millions of our
fellow men. toubt wi ether, in any

number Of hearts ir America. Look

shadows of the hundred years or more
that have ripened and mellowed it we
cannot see that it appears so dark and
unacceptable as his enemies would
have Us believe. Every creed in his
heart was one of freedom for mankind

truths which would elevate men men

teachings that might have retained just

not to be relied upon as an avenue to

LONDON has been in terror the

of a mob of socialists. This is an
element which London should never
permit to swim to the surface and
such riots as have taken place in her
streets would have been quelled in
New York by single squad of po-
lice before one stone had been thrown
or one window broken. America
may be a new county but in many
avenues it has advantages over En-
gland that are doubly noticeable
when recalled by such occurrences
as the present disturbance at Ira

THAT miserable apology for a
newspaper, the Wilmington EGbub-
Hcan, has lately had serious trouble
with the Printers Union. 1t IS a
discredit to decent journalism and
deserves a continued streak of trou-
bic until it makes some effort to re-
form, which it persistentlv refuses to
do. We cannot understand why it
should be so universally supported
by the people Of Wilmington as it
certainly exhibits poor taste upon
their part to patronize paper that
is so far behind its contemporaries
in enterprise, honesty, and even
good looks. The Republican has a
good field for work and could be
made credit to the name it bears
if it would only endeavor to give its
readers and advertisers their moneys
worth; this it certainly does not do
in its present dirty typographical
form and stale news features.
