A Gloucester despatch says that the
largest number of vessels ever engaged in
fresh fishing of all kinds from Gloucester
and other New England ports is engaged
this year and the market at the time is in
demoraized condition. 1t is stated that
American vessels arriving at Gloucester or
at Boston cannot make within cent per
pound as much as Canadian fishermen net
on their fish. During the past two weeks
fresh fish of all kinds have been continuous
ly arriving at Boston and Portland from the
Provinces, and it is stated BY prominent
fishermen that if duty is not imposed upon
all kinds of fish from the Provinces, the
American fishing industry will be destroyed.
Several large dealers at Gloucester, who
own many vessels, state that if something is
not done to protect them they will be obliged
to withdraw their fleets, as they cannot make
expenses.

A finely engraved drawing from Houdon's
bust of Benjamin Franklin is the frontispiece
of the June Century, and several pages of
unpublished Letters Of Benjamin Franklin
edited by the Hon. John Bigelow, add to the
literary interest of the number. These letters
are a part of the ''Stevens Collection" of
Franklin's manuscripts now owned by the
United States Government, and abound in the
good humor and shrewd and kindly wisdom
for which Franklin's writings are so famous.

ing the bones bare. Singularly no bones
were broken but she died Tuesday from the
effects of the injury.

In eastern paper speaking of the. Ia
kota question, has the following in regard
TO General Hugh j. Campbell, the leader
in the movement for statehood:
AS Campbell has made presidents and
governors and legislatures to order in
Louisiana, he could not be expected to
hide his light under bushel in Dakota,
He could not make a president there,
nor could he make a governor or legisla-
ture, and what could his restless ambition
undertake but TO create state. That
was the least thing he could aspire to,
and be went at It with the same tireless
zeal and fertility of resources which
marked his efforts in past achievements.
He bresthed the breath of life into an
cmpryo state government, ami it came
forth with sli the pomp and ceremony oil
state sovereignty, lacking only the assent
of congress. He had convention; he
had q constitution, he had an election
ne elected state officers and United States
senators, and when the work was done
he was called to the forum to congratulate
himself and the people he had fashioned
into state garments. He had state in
everything but the fact that ii wasn't q
state; but that didn't discourage him
and now he challenges congress in gener
al, and Vest in particular, to know what
they ara going to do about it Dakota
may have to linger on the ragged edgs
of the brotherhood of states for some
time, but it won't be the fault of Hugh
J. Campbell, the author of the new com
monwealth that he proposes to glitter in
the galaxy of states"

The Alexandria Heranld goes on to
say that "Sparks again comes ambling to
thA front with an order suspending sur
veys in the Huron land district, Tie re-
quirement is that settlement must pre-
cede the survey of public lands. The
commissioner declares in effect that be-
fore he can give consideration to applica-
tons for public surveys, proof must be
submitted in the form Of affidavits of re-
sponsible citizens, resident upon the
lands, showing that each township
sought to be surveyed containg existing
settlements constituted of bona ide set.
tiers, who have made permanent im-
provements upon the land. This order
is another specimen Of the rot with
which this section has been flooded
since Sparks has turned loose in the
land department. Who but fool or an
ass would make permanent improve
ments on piece of land, the boundaries
Of which he did not know? How would
it be should four men settle on the same
quarter Who would own it? Such
things have happened and will again.
That order. if allowed 70 stand, will be
the father of vigilance committees, lynch
law and shot gun supremacy. 1t will do
more to discourage settlement and des-
troy the Northwest than anything else
evolved from the inner consciousness of
the incompetent who presides over the
destinies of two million citizens of the
defsnseiess Northwest. "-Huronite
