The residence Of Parnell, the Irish states
man, has always been a matter Of much
mystery. If anyone asked his address of an
Irish member he was always directed to write
either to the House of Commons, or to the

critical moments, Ireland's uncrowned king
would disappear for a week. 1t has just
been discovered that his retreat is the house
of his devoted friend, Capt. O'Shea, near Ell

term expires Mrs. Cleveland will have at

1t is easy to understand why Chicago and
New York have been so mercilessly plumber

cities been allowing men to be in places of
trust who should have been in the peniten-.

who is credited with bribing the Chicago
aldermen has already served short sentence

cANADA'S LAST MOVE.

American fishermen who are coming into
Halifax report that they are greatly an
noyed by the way in which the Canadian
cruisers are enforcing the regulations of the
treaty Of 1918. Not only is the purchase of
bait troublesome proceeding, but they do
not know when they are safe while fishing.
1t has always been the American interpreta-
ton of the treaty that the three-mile limit
follows the contour of the coast; the Brit
ish have held that it lies three miles without
an imaginary line running from headland to
headland. The Canadian officials are insist
ing strictly on the British interpretation
The captain of Gloucester schoonerput into
Canso and told the collector that he wanted
to fish in Chebucto bay, keeping, of course,
three miles from the shore The official
thereupon informed him that he could not do
it; but must keep three miles outside an i'm
aginary line drawn from st. Esprit, in Rich
mond county, to the headland on which the
old Canso lighthouse stood, in Guysboro
county. This would keep the Gloucester
vessel as many as thirty miles from the shore
in some places, and far away from the fish
ing grounds. The captain asked the collec-
tor if his vessel would be allowed to fish in
the north bay of Prince Edwards Island.
where the coast makes sweep of thirty
miles. The Blue Nose replied that he didn't
know, but didn't think he would. Several
vessels have gone into Chebucto bay for
mackerel, which abounded there, but have
not dared to take any fish because they feared
seizure for being within an imaginary line.
One old captain, who fshed in those waters
before the treaty of Washington, says that
the way the treaty is enforced now is much
worse than in those days. Formerly he used
to fish with impunity three miles from the
Shore now ne is in as much danger when
twenty miles off as formerly when less
than three
1t is undoubtedly true that the termina-
ton of the treaty of Washington left Cana
dian fishermen in desperate position, but
they make a mistake if they think this coun-
try can be forced into a more profitable ar
rangement by arbitrary and vexatious con-
structions of the treaty of 1918. This coun-
| try has never for an instant admitted the
headland theory; and she will hardly do
now what she refused to do formerly under
like conditions. The seizure of a vessel for
trespassing too near the imaginary line
would involve complications more alarming
than any that have yet arisen; but Canada
would hardly be the gamer by such move.

The low of the Tories and Orangemen OF
Great Britain at the defeat of the home rule
bill can hardly be accompanied by CORE
spending sorrow on hepart of the friends OF
the measure The pathway might have been
clearer for Gladstone and Parnell had the
bill passed its second reading; but the ad-
vantage after all would have been lnciden-
tall Almost the friends Of the measure could
hope for but slight majority; and no one
doubts that the House of Lords would nave
thrown out the bill or so modified 1t as 10
leave it entirely unsatisfactory to ParneH OF
Gladstone. Then, when the dissolution OF
Parliament finally did come, the question
would have gone to the country complicated
with a DISPUTE between the houses of Parlla-
ment-some such dispute as agitated the
country when the franchise Dill was uhuer
consideration. Now, if the Queen accedes
to the wishes of the ministry and dlssolyeS
Parliament. the home rule bill will go to the
country as a distinct and definite measure,
uncomplicated by any considerations Tor the
feelings or prerogatiyes of the Lords. Inc
people will decide whether they wish to gov
ern Ireland by coercion, as Salisbury ana
Harrington propose, or allow the Irlsh W
govern themselves whether there snail DC CO.
ercion from without, or self-goyernment
from within. If the campaign can be fought
squarely on these issues the next House Oh
Commons may hope to reach speedy Solu-
ton of the question. If this solution is IA
vorable to Irish self-government the House
of Lords will not dare to oppose for an in
slant the declared wish of the country The
excuse which it might have for opposition at
the present time will be wholly wanting
when the country has thoroughly discussed
and decided on the question. In this way
defeat at the present stage may be no great
disadvantage to the friends of the bill 1t
will surely hasten the long and hard canvass
which it will take to discuss the question
properly before the country.
