The NEW ENGLAND people, AS well their
representatives in Congress, appear to be
very much excited over the seizure Of one
of their fishing vessels by the Canadian au-
thorites while buying bait in Canadian
port. The New Englanders would not rest
until they had abrogated the Canadian trea-
ty which allowed their fishermen all the
fishing privileges in Canadian waters en-
loved by Canadians, because it also allowed
the Canadians to send their fish to this
country free of duty. The abrogation OF
the treaty of course restored the condition
of the fishing relations between the two
countries to that which existed prior to the
ratification of that treaty. But the New
Englanders overlooked that fact in their
anxiety to abrogate the treaty and thereby
be enabled TO tax all the other people OF
the country for their fish, aud are SO angry
now because it has been brought to their
attention in the most patent OF all ways that
they would rather involve the country 10
war than abate their preposterous demand,
that though the treaty has been abrogated
they shall continue to enjoy all its benefits,
while the Canadians shall be debarred from
all those it conferred upon them.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY IL.

THE BUILDERS of St. Louis have formed
an association and determined that mere
after each member thereof will conduct MS
own affairs as may seem best to nlm' pur'
chase material from whom he may choose,
and EMPLOY whatever men he may see Ut,
without regard to any trades union' OF as
sembly of knights of labor, or OF any otner
organization of workingmen and besloes,
that every member of the association shall
lock out Immediately upon notice that
any one Of the others has been forced TO sus-
pend operations by the action OF any OF the
labor organizations referred 10. Similar as
sociations are being organized in many other
cities of the country; and that they should
he is not at all wonderful, as nothing is
more calculated to provoke blow than the
reception of one, and because elt'preserVa-
tion is the first law of nature. If one man
concede the right of other men to determine
the pay and hours of work of his employees
the number of apprentices he shall have,
the qualifications of the men he shall employ
and the merchants from whom ne shall BUY
his material, it wont be long before they
will demand, with equal justice. that he
concede them the entire control and man
arement of his business; and as no business
at all would be preferable to business OF
that sort, it is hardly possible that any con-
siderable portion of the large number Of
workmen now idle will obtain employment
until they shall agree with the spirit OF the
free institutions of the country in which
thew live that the employers, most of whom
were employees few years ago, shall man
agetheir own business in their own way.

Is There Anything Up?

A few days since the HERALD made
mention of a circular calling on all
members of the Farmers Alliance,
Knights of Labor and citizens general
ly to meet at the Union depot tonight
to discuss the availability of various
candidates and select the men who
ought to be elected. These circulars
were widely disseminated in all direc-
tons. Last night it is reported there
was some sort of Alliance conclave
held in the city and the streets are ripe
with rumors of meeting to day--not
of Farmers of this county alone. but
from all over this congressional dis
trict especially annd other portions of
North Texas. A HERALD re-
porter who knows where headquarters
are and who knows what is what,
has been assured there is no meeting
being held by official notification, if at
all. The supposition is that the cir
culars alluded to may have brought
members of the Alliance to the city,
but ifthey hold any meeting or formu-
late any political plans it will be of
their individual motion and not
through any action Of the Alliances or
the executive board of the State ALI
ance. Information was received from
the source alluded to that there was
very great dissatisfaction in the ALI
ance at the result Of the Waxahachie
congressional nomination, and that a
strong effort would be made to put an
opposition candidate in the field

have been captured.

Six Pinkerton thugs are under arrest
in Chicago for murder. Not content
with numbering when old to do 80,
they let their malignant disposition
carry them too far, and hence incurred
the Inconvenience of temporary impris-
onment. Although they were hired
assassins, employed by monopoly to In
cite riot and cause boodshed, yet they
spent a week under arms at the Chicago
stoCkyards without an opportunity to
kill single striker. This 80 enraged
them that on being relieved from duty,
and while on the train going back into
the city, they fred into crowd of boys
who were jeering at them, and with
deadly effect At present public indig
nation runs high, and the hired assas-
sins are freely denounced, This attack
was no more co*arIIv and uncalled
for than the attack of Boni lid and his
thugs on the workingmen assembled at
the havmarket. In this last case The
crowd did not return the fire OF the as
sassins, but fed in terror. In the other
case some one resisted the attack of the
thugs, and resisted with the most eff
cient weapon he could procure. Which
crowd, reader, acted most like free men
and Amencan citizens? And which
action most deserves your sympathy p
