The Fisheries.

Notwithstanding the fact that American
fishermen in Canadian ports and waters are
denied all privileges which are enjoyed by
us unques,ioned in nearly every other for
eign country in the world, Secretary Bay
ard and the democratic party would surren-
der the free market of the United States to
Canadian fishermen. In short Secretary
Bayard gravely informs the people that had
they taken his advice and that OF the demo-
cratic administration and made a new treaty
STIMULATING for the free entry of Canadian fish
;nto our market, we should have had none OF
this trouble, and he intimates that 1t is good

Excitement in Sioux City, Iowa, continues
over tine assassination of the Rev. George
C. Haddock, the Prohibitionist. At an i'm
mense public meeting resolutions were
adopted TO leave no measures untried to
secure the apprehension and punishment of
the perpetrators of the crime, declaring
that the murder is the work Of the spirit
born and nurtured in saloons, and pledging
influence, services and means to secure the
enforcement Of the laws against saloons and
gambling houses. Governor Larrabee has
offered reward of $500 for the arrest and
conviction of the murderer and the citizens
have appointed committees to raise money
and to assist in ferreting out the criminal.

Mrs. Cleveland and the Policeman.
Washington Critic.

The policeman at the door of the church
offered Mrs. Cleveland an umbrella, under
which she might safely reach her carriage
through the rain. The average woman, un-
der the circumstances, would have accepted
the umbrella with grateful "thank you,'
and carried it over herself to the carriage !;
bu. Mrs. Cleveland isn't an average woman.
Instead OF merely accepting the umbrella,
size accepted the true and gallant blue coat
as well, took his arm as if he had been a
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extra
ordinary, and went with him 10 her carriage.
Of course the policeman to-day is in a state
of delirious complimentedness which totally
units him for duty, but he will recover with
careful nursing.

Mr.. BIaine's Fvyeburg Speech

Hon. James G. Blaine's speech at Frye
burg yesterday, was very felicitous discus
sion of college life and needed college re-
form. There was one incidental sentence in
it worthy Of being engraved upon the public
conviction. Mr.. Blaine said that "of all the
forms of social superiority the most unen-
durable is that founded on mere wealth, un-
accompanied, as it often is, by learning, BY
virtue, or BY good manners" How many
claims are constantly preferred for social dis
tinction by fsmllies that have acquired wealth,
yet are beggars in learning and good man.
ners. Mr.. Blaine has enjoyed unusual OPP
portunities for observing and knowing this
class in society. The accuracy Of his por-
traiture is undeniable.

CHICAGO, Aug. A.-The Times Fort Smell
ing, Mimi, special says: The preliminary
practice in the contest for selected rifemen
Of the department of Dakota was continued
here today with firing at two, three, five and
six hundred yards. The conditions were not
of the best, the light being intense on the tar
get and fishtail wind prevailing in the
morning, and there being slight mirage
The contest Of the past two days has been
an average Of five points over the CORE
spending days of last year. Today they were
46 at 400 yards, A at 800 yards, 4s at 500
yards.
The highest total for any range today was
q possible 200 for Mayo. Palmer 10, Captain
Boutelle 169, Organ 169, Hos1ner 1853, Gordon
l67, Crow l65, Martin 165, Beanslah 149.
The ten highest totals for the two days
were: Mayo 3S3, Palmer 3a35, Boutelle 333,
Drake each 328. It is expected that tomor-
rows s6rmish firing win develop great
changes in the score Of the company.
