The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1886-10-11

The fishery committee that was so reticent
in Portland has found its tongue since, or
one member of it has. and the substance Of
all the testimony taken both il Maine and
Massachusetts has been diyulged. The com
mittee appears to have discovered very little
that is new, but they have now the views
and opinions of the fishermen in shape for
use before Congress when it assemblies
again and that is a great advantage. The
committee found practical unanmity among
all the fishermen and fish dealers examined.
They all agreed that there was no necessity
for our vessels to enter Canadian ports ex-
cept for the purposes specified in the treaty
of 1878, namely, wood, water, shelter and
repairs. We're this treaty adhered to and
the privileges therein guaranteed granted to
their full extent our fishermen would find no
fault at being refused other privileges. But
the truth is that our guaranteed privileges
are curtailed, or so surrounded with burden
some conditions as to frequently make them
practically worthless.
In the next place the witnesses before the
committee were substantially unanimous
that our fishermen could get along with very
little inconvenience with the privilege of
purchasing bait in Dominion ports denied
them, Indeed they inclined to the belief
that the fishermen would be better off with
out it, inasmuch as good deal of time was
lost in running into Dominion ports for bait
which might just as well have been brought
from the home port. The fishermen still adj
here to the opinion which they have fire.
quently expressed, and which is confirmed
by statistics, that the privilege of fishing
within the three mile limit is worthless.
They still protest against the opening of our
markets to Dominion fishermen, and predict
that such course would be followed in the
course of ten or fifteen years by the total
extinction of the American tisAiIg industry.
The remedy for the present condition of
things which they suggest, and the only one,
is the increase of the duty Oh salt fish and
the imposition of duty on fresh fish. By
means Of refrigerator cars, fish may now be
sent all over the country without sailing or
curing in any way, SO that under the clause
allowing fresh fish for immediate consump-
ton to come in duty free the Canadians still
to a large extent manage to get the benefit of
our markets.

Cuba is fortunate in getting rid Of slavery
All the slaves have been liberated at an ex.
pense of only $3.50 each, and that has been
paid by the Spanish government. As early
as 1869 law provided for the conditional
liberation of certain classes of slaves. In
1879 all slaves IS years old and over were
liberated, and provision was made for grad
ual emancipation of all others. In 1890 CONF
plete freedom would have resulted; but the
Queen regent, by signing the decree Of einan-
cipation last week. hastened the day of de-
liverance, and slavery is a thing of the past
in Cuba. In Brazil a scheme of gradual
emancipation has been going on for several
years, with good prospects of final success,
The time is not far distant when there will
be no slave on any Of the islands or CONT
nents of America.

Practical Method of Acquiring Comnletn
Fluency of Speech in +i.e.fsra y hoSen'ii"l'
Escn Language in Fifteen Parts. In pre-
naring his system of teaching the French OF
German languages, DR.. Rosenthal has pro-
ceeded on the principle that it is no longer
sufficient to teach the scholar the grammatl-
cal peculiarities of French or German - -
the true aim for the senolar must pe W
nv sneak and read the modern tongues
IN converse in them fuently and ldlomatl-
calIv. No time is spent in learning pages OF
grammatical rules comparative bylittel IN con-
iugatiens declensions or analyses. rIhe stu
dent is not required to labor in the building
up of well constructed English sentences by
the aid of lexicons and grammars. Protes-
sor Rosenthal says that many pupil VINO
has been able to repeat pages Of ''grammati-
| cal rules and foreign words has found NM
| self stranded in foreign land only to as
cover that he has no use for the rules anu
words he has learned-that somehow ana
| strangely enough the people have quite a
| different stock of language" With these de-
| fects of the old system in mind, tho authoI
| of the Meisterschaft System has ge gee
| work to build up his method. D. &c

meofnmon use, and knowledge of all the
| peculiarities of speech. Neither the founda-
ton sentence, nor any of those following are
to be committed to memory, but are to be
repeated until the student is familiar with
1 the sound of every word and phrase and
with its meaning in English. The work for
each language is divided into fifteen parts,
each part being bound so that it can be car
ried in the pocket and used at odd moments
| for the student is strictly forbidden to study
more than ten minutes at time. After fin
ishing the fifteenth number he has at his
command vocabulary of 1000 or $500 of the
most important words in the language, and
can use with readiness all the important
idioms. Such vocabulary is even more
than scholarly man would use in the Or
