THE OLD SETTLERS.

While it may seem rather in the nature
of al anachronism to speak of old settlers
in country so comparatively new as the
Northwest, still, considering the amazing
haste of American life in the West, in
which a year suffices for the building of
towns. where before was trackless prairie,
it requires but short residence in anv of
the newer cities to acquire the title
of an old settler. Bnt the men who gath
cred yesterday had the right Of many years
spent in ST. Paul, as well as the fact that
their residence here has enabled them to
witness such astounding changes, to entitle
them to the appellation. They form a link
between the past. full of Renaissance, and
the pushing, needless present which in its
rush and hurry has little time for
bygone memories. Just as all prog
ress and enthusiasm needs something of
conservatism as balance wheel, so the old
settlers in any community, comprising, as
they do, men who, from long acquaintance
with the citys varied needs and resources,
and from the accumulated wisdom which
comes of ripeness in years, form a sort of
informal senate, which is no less influential
because Its members do not possess stamped
and sealed commissions. The old settlers
may not make a great deal of noise. but
without them it is certainly true that there
would never have been a ''boom' in the
Northwest

THE BELLIGERENT CANADIANS

THE BELLIGERENT CANADIANS.
While there is little reason for believing
that the presence of British men-of-w war in
Canadian ports at the present time possess
seS any unusual significance, it is doubtless
true that their arrival has had much to do
with making certain class of Canadians
assume very belligerent attitude towards
the United States regarding the fishery
troubles. While perhaps an occasional
collision may occur between over
jealous Canadian coast patrol cruisers
and resolute captains of American
fishing schooners, there is little cause tn
apprehend anything in the nature of a
serious rupture between the two countries
There is too much fraternal feeling between
Canada and the United States and thew have
too many interests in common to admit of
the possibility of those interests and the
good feeling being imperiled by the action
of small number of indiscreet
individuals. Nevertheless, unless the
matter is speedily settled intercourse be-
tween the inhabitants of adjacent coast
towns on different sides of the line will be-
come difficult and their reciprocal trade
VIII DC greatly injured. Inc authorities of
both countries, therefore, can hardly escape
censure unless some amicable understand
ing is reached. However,, should the
wishes of the warlike party among the Can
adams prevail there is little need for the
people living on the American side of
the lakes to experience any
immediate alarm. They have a
valiant protector in the United States
man-of-war Michigan, which, stationed at
Erie, has frequently made the circuit of the
lakes with ease, if not with celebrity.

complying with the union scale of wages.
This morning Justice Mech fined him $50

THE FISHERIES DISPUTES.
Canadians Talking of War-.An


MONTREAL, June 1.-The real cause of all
the fisheries trouble is III Q deep-rooted ieal-
ousy of the Canadians against the Ameri-
cans. Being asked what course would be pur-
sued by the Canadian cruisers if they met
with armed resistance, the minister Of marine
declared that Canada will take the conse-
quences, and in case of resistance the officers
commanding the different cruisers have Or
ders to shoot the vessels out of the water
England is at Canada's back.
ARICHAT, G. B., June 1.-Mackerel are
plentiful in these waters. Two American
vessels bought bait yesterday outside of the
harbor. The fishermen do not disclose their
names. They meet them to the south of
Cape Augusta and Jerseymans island, and
sell bait on the quiet. These schooners
neither hoist flags nor come into port.
HALIFAX, n. S., June 1.-The captain of
coaster just arrived, reports that the l. Hou-
lett has seized an American mackerel fisher
man off the Gainsborough coast.

THE WEDDING Day

This evening at o'clock there will be a
wedding at the White house. 1t will not
be the first time that the marriage GER
emory has been performed in that historic
mansion. but it will be the first time that
the chief magistrate of the nation has led a
bride to the altar within its marble walls.
1t will doubtless be gratifying to President
CLEVELAND to know that the nation ap-
proves the step he is taking. The White
house is the nations property and it will
make the people feel more comfortable for
the old mansion to have mistress.

A TREMENDOUS impetus will be given to
the old-fashioned custom of sleeping with a

it has been SO successful in the president S
case. If he could be induced to dispose of
pieces of his own wedding cake to all who
would be anxious to obtain some of it for g
similar purpose, there is but little doubt that
his domestic expenditures for many months
would be more than counterbalanced.

Ex-Goy. Ramsey suggested that 1t would

ray were appointed on that committee.
