cANApA,s POLICY.

Our view of the present policy of the Ca
madam government, that it is its intention to
avoid as far as possible a controversy over
the treaty, and rely upon the customs regu-
lations to annoy our vessels, receives strong
confirmation from an editorial article in the
st. John Globe of Saturday The Globe says
Although there has been a denial, on the part Of
the government, that it has relaxed its regula-
tions there is no doubt whatever, that it has
changed its plan of operations. 1t has probably
been found that the enforcement of treaty regula-
tons is an Imperial matter and that Canadian
armed cutters cannot be entrusted with powers,
which properly belong to the vessels of Her Maj
esty the Queen. 1t has, no doubt, been found too,
that the United States government was disposed
to regard the strict enforcement of the letter of
the treaty of 1918 as evidence of unfriendlineSs,
and that the home government having no great
interest in thematter, is not disposed to lie uuder
any charge of unfriendliness in a matter of this
kind from the government of the United States.
The fact that none of Her MajeSty's ships have
been sent to protect the fisheries is very strong
idence that Her Majesty'S government has not ap
proved Of the Canadian action and Is not sup
porting the Canadian contentious. The govern
ment of Canada has, therefore, been driven back
upon its own customs regulations in order to keep
the American fishermen, not off the fishing
grounds, but from the privileges OF our perts The
factthat there are no captures within the three
mile limit is a fact whose significance cannot be
overlooked. The dangers that are likely to fol-
low the stringent enforcement of customs regula-
tons for the purpose of protecting fisheries is
measures against our coast commerce with the
United States; and that embarrassment to bust
ness generally, which harsh measures are always
likely to produce.
The dangers" which the Globe foresees
ought to follow very speedily. There is no
way to meet the tactics which the Canadians
have now resorted to but by adopting pre-
cisely the same tactics. We cannot deny the
right of Canada to make such customs regu-
lations as she sees fit, and though we may
protest against them our vessels caught VIC
lating them have no recourse but an appeal
to the clemency of the Canadian officers-a
course which in the present state of Cana
dian feeling is likely to prove waste of
words. But there is no doubt that our GUS
toms regulations are violated daily by
Canadian vessels. Let our revenue officers
be instructed to take notice of the slightest
transgression of our laws, and let our Treas
ury officials impose the heaviest penalty on
every vessel caught infringing them, and the
Canadians will soon grow very tired of their
present policy

POSTAL POSSIBILITIES.

The Postmaster General has issued an Or
der which promises to have some far-reach-
ing results. Hitherto liquids, pastiles, soaps
and other similar substances, have been ex-
cluded from the mails. But moved by nu-
merous petitions, Mr. Villas has decided that
hereafter liquids may be sent through the
mails if packed in accordance with certain
regulations, and if not infammable, combus-
tible, poisonous or liable to injure the postal
officials. 1t is expected that great conyen-
fence to the people, besides considerable
revenue to the government will result from
the innovation. 1t is said that already one
large manufacturer of yeast is establishing
a system of furnishing to families through
out the country their weekly supply of yeast
by mail. The new rules allow about four
ounces, net weight, or about a tumbler full,
at one cent an ounce. The wrapping will
not weigh over two ounces, so that the pack
age will not amount to over six cents. To a
Maine man this rule suggests some alarming
consequences. What if some fellow should
discover that tumblerfull of whiskey could
be sent through the mails just as easily as
tumblerfull of yeast or soothing syrup? In
this State the six cents postage would not be
considered a big premium to pay for tum-
blerfull of pure old rye, brought right to the
door by the postman. And it can be done
under Mr. Vilass new rule. Woe to the
meddlesome. policeman who attempts to
make any seizures; he will be summarily
dealt with for interfering with the United
States mails if he ventures to inspect the
load under which the postman will groan.
Mr. Villas is said to have adopted the new
rule in answer to numerous petitions from
business men. 1t is impossible to put aside
the suspicion, however, that he did it in
answer to certain sad complaint made in
the Democratic convention at Bangor, where
it was recited that prohibitory law inter-
feres with individual liberty and ''vexes the
citizen"

The Knights of Labor have received re-
proof from an unexpected quarter. They
have been sending a great many petitions to
Congress praying for the passage of bill to
create the Territory Of Oklahoma. These
petitions have been heard of by the red men
in Indian Territory, and have caused SO
much uneasiness that the representatives OF
the Indian tribes at Washington have adj
dressed remonstrance to Mr.. Powderly.
They recite the history Of the transactions
by which the Indian tribes acquired title
in fee simple to the lands, upon part OF
which it is proposed to erect a new Terri
tory, and refer to the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States affirming the va
lidity of that title. They contend that the
Cherokee cession of 100000 acres of their
lands lying west of the Arkansas river to
the United States was for the sole purpose
of allowing the settlement of friendly Indian
tribes thereon, and that no title to any part
of these lands can pass without the consent
of the Cherokee nation. In conclusion, the
Indian delegates say: ''If confscation is to
be the rule, seek to confscate the large hold
ings of the rich white people among you.
lney are dDlo 10 ueleHu lHolloClNoo' OulOly
an organization, professedly established to
aid and strengthen the weak should not seek
to despoil and rob weak and helpless peo-
ple'' 1t is hardly probable that the Knights
of Labor would unite in petitioning for an
act that they knew would work injustice to
the Indian tribes. They undoubtedly signed
the Oklahoma petitions as they signed the
netitions against the abolition of compulsory
pilotage, without rejecting for what they
were asking, But if the labor organizations
hope to have any influence with Congress,
they must take care to know what they are
asking for.

Having won the victory in the elections the
Tories are nov puzzled to know what to do
with it. There is hardly a possibility that
they will be strong enough to conduct the
government alone, and coalition with the
Unionist faction is the only possible solution
of the situation. But the great majority of
the Unionists are atone with the Tories on
ly on single ISSUE and that is home rnle for
Ireland. On every other issue they are more
in sympathy with the Liberals than with
Lord Salisbury's party. A coalition minis
try must therefore be a discordant ministry

of such elements are necessari weak and

The House committee has completed the
Notifications bill. 1t appropriates $500, Oo0;
of which $4,000 is for the maintenance of
existing works, and 100000 is for the
making of tests and the preparation
of plans for modern system of sea-
coast defences. The tests and plans are
to be made under the direction Of commits
sion composed of a naval officer, an army
officer and three civilians. One of the civil
ian members is to be appointed by the
President of the United States, one by the
President pro tenn of the Senate and the
third by the Speaker of the House. 1t is
said that the preparation of this bill is the
first step towards carrying out the sugges-
lions made by Mr.. Tilden several months
ago. If every step is taken as late as the
Democrats of the House have taken the first
one, the Sage of Greystone will have lain in
his grave many years before the three civil
ians and two officers have concluded their
experiments with the half million dollars.

improved it very well indeed. Mr.. Randall

sistency in arguing in one breath that our
present revenue would be hardly sufficient to
meet the current expenses of the govern

Gen. Sickles replies that every order he re-

the one referred to, and Gen. Howard con-
firms his statement. At the present time
Gen. Sickles has by far the best of the con-

fer to sully the fame of either Gen. Sckles or

of Mandan. Meade is newspaper man
and has been doing work on local pa

of the quarrel is not known, but is said
that he approached Farnsworth in the
hotel Office and called him damned
thief. Farnsworth turned away and
Meade was taxed out of the hotel, but
returned half an hour later and again
approached Farnsworth, using the same
epithet. The latter took the matter as
joke and offered his hand to Meade,
who is said to have shot him then. The
pistol used was 38-calibre and The ball
passed through the stomach. Meade
was arrested.

Cattle Moving North.

Sundance (Wyo.) Gazette: Stock In
spector Armstrong was in from the
western ranges for day or two this
week. He is kept very busy cleaning
the through herds coming up the trail
and reports having worked about 75,-
600 head, and that there are twenty-five
herds more coming up of which he has
heard. Probably more trail cattle pass
through Crook county than any other
in the territory, as it is the gateway for
cattle from the south bound for Mon
tana, Dakota and the British posses
sions. The work of cleaning these
herds is really more than one man can
properly attend to. During the trail
season, the cattle should be cut on the
Cheyenne river, at the Whipwheel
ranch, on Little Powder and on the
head of Little Missouri at the Dakota
