1t is very encouraging, says the Tribune.
to observe that the Canadian press is
gradually coming to its senses and ad
hitting that the American argument. that
fishermen have legal right to buy bait
rs an article of commerce without refer
ence to the treaty of 1918, cannot be an
swered. The Montreal Herald comedies
that canadian officials cannot legally
prevent United States citizen from en-
tering Digby. buying fish bait and distrib-
uting it among the American fishing fleet.
and that if they adopt this policy no civil
LIKED nation, and England least OF all, will
say that they are right. This is very
invigorating display of common sense. If
these views prevail, the Provincial author
tiles will extricate themselves as speedily
as possible from an untenabe position.
The treaty of 1918 was not designed to
prevent commercial exchanges between
the two countries.

The Chicago Anarchists.
JUICE RoeEns' CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURr.

The Grand Jury of the Criminal Court
which is to consider the case of the Anar-
chist leaders was sworn in Monday. In his
charge to the jury Judge Rogers said:
1--WE hear good dea, lately of what con-
stitutes freedom of speech. There is no
constitutional right for men TO assemble and
engage in wild harangues and iDcendiary
speech. These men must be held responsible
for what they incite others to do. That Is
the spirit of the law. 1t is only your prov
ince to deal with crimes-with acts that have
been committed; nevertheless the history OF
the last few days will make it necessary for
me to advert to other matters than the ac-
tual commission of crime, as well as
the commission of effenses against the
law. The Bill of Rights of the
State of Illinois Incorporates the general
principles of the Constitution of the United
States. Men NAV assemble and discuss these
matters-the constitutional rights of freedom
of speech-but they are held responsible for
what they say. If men are melted to rlst,
arson, and other unlawful acts, the men re-
sponsble for this may be held answerable for
the results. Mere spectators-mere lockers
on-are not the ones only, but the men who
advised the commission Of the crime are the
guilty parties as we'll. The principles of Law
inculcate the doctrine that men who teach
riot, who incte unlawful gatherings to incen-
diary acts, are responsible for the effects OF
these rantngs. red flag is a public me-
nance. 1t is an emblem that no quarter will
be given. The police nave right to sup
press these people to prevent the commission
of crime. They have the right to quell all
such disturbances. And the police and chief
magistrate of the city did their dnty when the
time came, and acted like men-the noblest
work of God"
Before quoting the law on the subject Judge
Rogers adverted to the recent labor troubles.
He said 'Thev have attracted the notice OF
the country at large. But don't want to lay
the trouble TO any one nationality. 1t is not
nationalities, but individuals that are to blame.
1t is not the Irish or the Germans or the Bo-
hemians as a meteorological these people
love peace. Men have a right to strike.
They have right to quit work if they please,
but when they go one step further and say
that others have not the right to work they
violate the law and can be punished. 1t is
not only the principles that may be held re-
sponsible, but the accessories as well-he or
they who stand idly by after having advised
the violence committed may be held equally
to blame with the principals"
Judge Rogers then dismissed the jury, who
retired to their room and went into session.

organization and arrange the duration of its

The decision of the Court of Claims
with reference to the French spoliation
claims is in accord with the opinion ex-
pressed by every Congress that has had
the subj ect under consideration since the
complete history of the negotiations with
France was disclosed. 1t is that this gov
eminent by reason of its use of the claims
in the settlement of 1901 became bound
to satisfy the just demands of the claim
ants. 1t surrendered their rights as
against France in return for great ma
tional advantage, and thereby became liza
BILE to its injured citizens to the extent OF
the value of their claims This decision
will probably hasten settlement of the
claims.

To Digest Vulcanite,

the form of medicine intended to reform the
very evil they aggravate, to-wit, dyspepsia,

stituents that have no chemical affinity one
with the other, are introduced into it, Are

icine, harmonious in its composition and
readily assimilable, is active, and produces
marked as well as speedily appreciable eff

the stomach. 1t is tonic Ia the true sense,
because it harmonizes and insures regularity
of the operations of digestion. Not the least
of the benefits which it confers. is thorough
repair of the damages inflicted on the stom-
ach by ill-chosen remedies. For bilious
ness, constipation. malarial complaints. rheu-

A marvellous conjuror named Bsutier

A marvellous conjuror named Bautier de
Kolta, Hungarian, has appeared in Paris,
and among other tricks which COMPOUNDED a
company of adopts assembled to witness them
was this; After spreading newspaper on
the floor he placed chair upon it. and then
asked a young lady to sit down. He threw
over her piece of silk, which barely covered
her from head to foot. He then rapidly re
moved the drap1ry, and the chair was empty.
As soon as the amazement of the spectators
gave them time to applaud, the young lady
walked on from the side and bowed her &C.
acknowledgements. There certainly was no
trap in the floor. the chair was of the ordina
ry kind, and the trick was done in strong
light. The lady. in fact, disappeared before
the very eyes of the audience; but so quickly
was the trick done that no one present saw
her escape.

The affectionate manner in which the
democratic and mugwump papers speak
OF each other is very interesting. Follow
ing is what the New York Star (democrat)
saws OF the New York Evening Post (mug-
wump):
When any other newspaper makes state
ment that is shown oy subsequent events to
rsrsormapce as lie. When it is shown to
hhsve dome the same thing itself, it calls the
.,.r,,rmance san overstatement." This
aonhtless satisfies the queer people who edit
.ho Post. aud they have an abiding convic-
. .n that whatever satisfies them must please
amarvhody on earth except the wicked, who
are not worth pleasing
