THE House Judiciary Committee say
that the enforcement of the laws against
the practice of polygamy cannot crush ii
out; therefore a constitutional amendment
is necessary. This conclusion, then, must
be based on the conviction that laws
against polygamy, under the Constitution
as it is, cannot be enacted that will be suf-
fieiently stringent. The purpose appears
to be to tear the mask of religion from the
infamy. AS the Constitution is, the polyg-
amists claim exemption from the penalties
of the law because of the guarantee of re-
hgious liberty. There intervenes, also, an
other question that can be removed only
by amendment of the organic law. That
is the question of the right of State to
leg:slate upon the matrimonial relation.
For instance, Utah as a State might defy
the sentiment of the country and involve
US in States rights wrangle of serious
character But with a constitutional
amendment making polygamy unlawful,
Utah would come into the Union under a
compact she could not avoid.

The act passed by the Dominion of Canada
to put beyond dispute the right of its officers
to seize American fishermen doing contrary
to that the Canadians claim as their rights
under the treaty of 1918 has appeared in full
in the Canada Gazette. 1t really is an
amendment to the act of the Thirty-first year
of Victoria, substituting in place of the
third section of that act, the following
clause:
Any one of the officers or persons hereinbefore
mentioned may bring any ship, vessel or boat be-
ing within any haIbor in Canada or lowering in
British waters within three marine miles of any of
the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbors in Canada into
the master upon oath touching the cargo and
voyage; and II the master or persons In command
does not truly answer the question put TO linn in

or Of Canada for the time being in force such

This act repeats the acts of Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick relating to the same
subject; and stands as the formal and ex-
plicit declaration of what Canada is prepared
to do another season to give discomfort to
Americans who shall venture into those re-
gions.
So far as this act is intended to prevent
Americans from fishing within the three
mile limit, no one can complain that it is
unjust. But its last clause also reiterates
Canada's determination to continue to make
traffic in bait illegal, thereby hampering our
fishermen in exercising their undoubted
rights to fish without that limit. In this
respect the Canadians make use Of the treaty
Of 1918 to deny to Americans the privileges
Of the commercial arrangement which has
grown mp between the two countries since
that time, privileges which we have never
yet denied them.

Liberals contend, purely for political effect
About five sixths of the voters in the Prov
ince are Protestant and the remainder Cath
ole. 1t is easy to see, therefore, that if the
Conservatives had succeeded in dividing the
voters ON sectarian lines they would have
won an overwhelming victory 1t was due
to no lack of zeal on their part that they
failed, for they pushed the Bible question
with great energy. and their organs bristled
all over with feryid appeals to the people
not to permit a "mutilated Bible" as they
called the Selections" to be used in the
schools. Unfortunately their past record
came back to plague them, for when the
compromise was agreed upon not one Of
them had raised its voice against it. The
people, therefore, either failed to be reused
or were reused in the wrong way from
the Conservative standpoint, and when
the votes were counted it was found
that the Liberals had secured control
of the legislature by an increased majority
The voters did not believe that the religious
cry was sincere one, and no doubt their
distrust was well founded. So the "Selec-
tons stay, Premier Mowat is ensured new
lease of power, and Sir John Macdonald's
last hope is gone.

Mr.. Ira 81. Randall of Augusta, presents
through the columns of the Kennebec Jour
nal an argument in favor of the deepening
of the channel Of the Kennebec, between
Augusta and Swans Island, opposite Rich
mond. The Boston boat runs to Gardiner,
but the growing scarcity of small and light
draft vessels suitable to take full cargo
above Gardiner, has caused gradual adj
vance in the rates Of freight on all merchan-
disc shipped by sailing vessels above that
point; an advance estimated at about twen-
ty per cent. But even with this difficulty of
navigation, great quantities of ice, lumber
and granite are sent down the river, while
coal and other freights 60 up. The yearly
commerce on the Kennebec above Gardiner,
Mr.. Randall estin ates at 265,0 tons, valued
at $l66,50o and transported in 675 vessels.
While Congress is giving money for the i'm
provement Of inconsequential streams in
the West and South, something certainly
might be spared, with great deal more rea-
son, for river with so much commerce as
the Kennebec.

THE ONTARIO ELECTION,

The election for members of the provin-
cial parliament of Ontario which took
place Tuesday had in it some elements
of interest, not only to the people OF
the province and of the rest of the
Dominion, but to outsiders as well. In the
first place it was admitted by Sir John Mae
donald, the Conservative premier, that the
result would foreshadow the result of the
general elections which it is understood win
be held next year, as the Conservatives had
been beaten in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
Prince Edwards Island and Manitoba. The
contest, therefore, took on the air Of a nation
al contest, and the leaders of the two great
parties-Sir John Macdonald and Sir Edward
Blake-directed the fighting.
The issues as presented on the stump in
cluded only one of more than local interest,
and that concerned the reading of the Bible
In the public schools. Three or four years
ago there was general agitation Of this sub
ject growing out Of the fact that the custom
Of reading the Scriptures in the schools had
fallen into "innocuous desuelude" in about
half Of them, while in the other half the ex-
ercise was irregular and perfunctory. The
Protestant churches called for an imp rove
ment, and all the different denominations at
their annual conventions spoke ON the sub
ject. The Catholics assumed their usual po-
sition in the matter. The result Of the ag-
itation was compromise, by which a series
OF Scripture selections prepared by Mr.. Kerr,
at that time conservative member of the
ontario legislature, and approved by the Ro-
man Catholic Archbishop of Toronto and
representative clergymen Of Protestant de-
nominations was substituted. Mr. Meredith,
the Conservative candidate for provincial
premier at Tuesdays election was member
Of the Ontario legislature at the time the
compromise was arranged but uttered no
word in opposition to it. The arrangement
did not exclude the Bible, but it permitted
the substitution of the Selections for the
whole Bible Apparently no opposition was
ever raised to 1t until this campaign The
matter was dragged int this contest, the

Knights Of Labor assemblies in ten states
are now in revolt against Grand Master
Workman Powderly, and the rebels are 60
ing to demand of him special session of the
Grand Assembly. Under the constitution
he must comply with their request. The re-
volt is the result of the % cent assessment
circular, the order to the assemblies not to
collect money for the Chicago anarchists and
Powderly's big salary. When the special
session is held there will undoubtedly be a
bitter fight, as Powderly will be supported
by the Home Club branch of the order, and
the outcome is likely to be split in the or
der. The dream of welding all the labor
ing men of the country together into solid
mass which undoubtedly the creators of the
Knights of Labor organization cherished is
not destined to be realized. The elements
are too heterogeneous to coaesce.
