nose. Unless arrested, this Inflammation
produces Catarrh which, when chronic,

THE pending "fuss" over the hostile
attitude of the Canadian government to-
ward our fishermen has excited the New
England press into furry Of virtuous in-
dignation, which is doubtless all warranted
by the circumstances. Evidently the case
is one Of unusual gravity, and serious fears
are entertained that, to-day or tomorrow,
collision may occur between our fishermen
and the Canadian authorities. These appre-
tensions were admitted by senators in the
course of debate yesterday upon Senator
Frye's resolution proposing the appoint
ment Of a commission to settle the di:ll-
culties between the two governments /;
and n good deal Of the true American
spirit was evinced. But the newspapers
aforesaid have hastily jumped at conclu-
sions, which are generally expressed in un-
friendly, unjust, and unfair criticisms upon
our Department Of State. That the Secre-
tary of State does not give public EXPIRES
sion to his views In regard to the fishery
troubles; that he does not communicate to
individual fishermen, or their private or
business friends, definite, precise informI-
ton with reference to the attitude OF this
government, or what IL has done, or is
likely to do, In the premises, is accounted
for in the fact that this grave subject of
contention Is at the present moment IN ac-
tive, serious negotiation, automatically
fact which, 1t seems to us, ought to have
occurred to the editors, ami deferred them
from letting off their hasty, unwarrauted
criticisms.

The Republican members of the Senate
and House held joint caucus in the hall
of the House of Representatives Monday
evening, at which Senator Edmunds, OF
Vermont, presided and Congressman Nc.
ComGs, of Maryland, acted as secretary.
The attendance was unusually large, and
the best possible feeling prevailed. A con-
gressional committee was appointed, com
posed Of one member from each state dele
cation, and a strong determination was
expressed to prosecute campaign this
fall that will result In electing Republ-
can majority to the next House OF Repre-
sentatlves. Senator Edmunds made Wig
orous speech, and Others followed in
enthusiastic and encouraging remarks.

The inconsistency Of our so.caled tariff
reformers is plainly showa in the new draft
OF the bill submitted to the House on Mon
day. The original plan was to materially
reduce the tariff on sugar, but II was found
that II that was carried out the six Demo-
cratic votes OF the Louisiana delegation
would he cast against the bill. In this
emergency the proposition to reduce the
tax on sugar has been stricken out, which
secures a solid vote for the scheme on the
part OF the Louisiana members. On the
other hand, It will be seen that wherever
the original bill contemplated a reduction
Of duties on articles affecting Republican
states no change has been made. The Re.
publican states Of New England aud the
northwest are to suffer by material
reduction Of the tariff on lumber, the
Republican state OF Ohio Is to be
punished by having her wool inter
ests struck down, while the agricultural
regions Of the north are TO be crushed
by admitting farm products from the Do
minlon Of Canada at rate so low as to
practically bankrupt the farmers of New
England and some other sections OF the
north. The bill is evidently drawn in the
interests Of the Democratic party. 1t pro-
tects the products Of Democratic states and
strikes a deadly blow at the industries and
prosperity Of the section that fu rnished the
men and money to crush the rebellion and
restore the Union. 1t is as vicious a piece
of legislation as was ever proposed In the
national Congress. II 1t should beco me
law It would work irretrievable ruin to
many of the leading industries Of the
country, It would lower the wages
Of the American worklngmen, and inaugu-
rate reign Of discomfort and suffering
such as this country has never experienced.
In the interests Of the American people
every Republican vote in the House will be
cast against the bill; in the interests OF Eu-
| ropean manufacturers and foreign traders,
every Democratic vote with a few possible
tXceptions) will be cast for 1t. This fact
| plainly illustrates the difference between
the two leading parties of the country, and
is significant commentary upon the pur-
poses and reactionary designs Of the dis
loyal and free trade Democratic party.
