Washington Letter 10 the Baltimore Herald.
1t is not many weeks since married lady,
whose toilets are remarkable for elegance and
taste, made call upon the female head of
household but recently established in the
neighnorhood. In due time the call was re-
turned. but the new neighbor, a stranger IN
the door by a servant who announced that
her LADY" was out. Within a few DAYS the
fashionable butterfly repeated her call and it
was returned; but sgaln she was out. This
occurred several times, and at last the new
conner waspuzzled, for she declared tnat upon
approaching the residence of her elegant ac-
quaintaDce she had caught sight oil her at an
upper window. Soon afrerward an infant
daughter Of the deyOtee of fashion died. and
the ne ly-settled neighbOr at once called to
extend sympathy ana offer any assistance
within her power. 1t was a cold day,
and she was shown into the dining
room, where the bereayed mother soon APP
peared with an apOl gy nervOusy made that
there was no fire in the parlors. The follow
ing day another child, a sister of the dead in
fant. was taken seriously Ill. aud the neigh
Dor. moved by benevolent heart and pure
charity, fastened to tender her services. On
this occasion she accidentally discovered that
there was not single article of furniture in
the parlOrs, and that the bedchambers were
devoid of the cOmmOnest comforts. All were
sacrificed to society, and as the elder sister
soon followed the babe to Heaven, it is not
improbable that their little lives were a so
sacrificed upon the social altar. The child
less mother soon afterward left her husband
but her social status remains unimpaired so

England will have to give very salts
factory reasons for the seizure OF the hsh-
ing schooner David j. Adams by the
Canadian authorities, or else retaliatory
measures will be adopted by this coun-
try. The resolutions looking TO that end
which were introduced into the House
and Senate, relative to the seizure of the
Adams. did not all come from New Eng
land representatives.. They came from
southern as well as Northern Congress
men, showing that the feeling over the
/ unfriendly act Of Canada is not confined
I to any particular s. ction Of country.
/ The David j. Adams went into a
Canadian port for the purpose Of pur-
chasing bait and was seized by order OF
the Canadian government under authority
PRETENDED 20 be found in the treaty OF
1873. 1t will be remembe ed that the
treaty, under which our fishermen have
been fishing in Canadian waters, was
terminated several months ago, and there
appears TO be no disposition 70 cover the
same points by another treaty. IL has
been claimed by those familiar with the
matter that no treaty is needed bY our
fishermen, because existing laws give
them all the liberty in Canadian
waters which they want. They no
longer care 10 fish within the three
mile limit. All they want is to be per
mitted TO run into Canadian ports for bait
and to ship crews. 1t is said that there is
a British statute which gives them this
privilege. II there is the Canadian au-
tbouties appear to be Ignorant Of it. Il
is not matter for dispute, however, be
cause If there is such a statute it can
easily be found. But even If there be no
statute there can be no reasonable objec-
ton to American fishing vessels visiting
Canadian ports for bait. The Canadian
fishing vessels visit our ports for the same
purpose and receive treatment Of the most
courteous kind. Indeed. the purchase of
bait is an act Of legitimate commercial
intercourse.
II is not easy 10 understand what the
purpose Of the Canadian authorities is in
Selling the Adams. They are certainly
far-sighted enough to see that the policy
they have adopted is against their in
terest. Although they may claim that
the purchase Of bait is a preparation for
deep sea fishing,' 1t is certain that such
a claim viii never be admitted as i'm
portant in the present controversy. This
government, unless the facts turn out to
be different from what they have been re-
ported, will insist not only upon the
release Of the Adams. but also upon
fun understanding relative TO the rights
Of American vessels in Canadian ports.
1t may be that Canada is trying to bring
about condition Of affairs which will
create demand in this country for a new
treaty. In the negotiation Of 1t she hopes,
probably, to get concessions as favorable
to her as those were in the treaty that has
just come to an end. Ii that is what she
is after she will discover very quickly her
mistake. We want nothing from Canada
which we haven't right to now, and it
is hardly probable that we shall make
valuable concessions unless we get some
thing equally valuable in return.

The Oneninc Speeches.

Gen. Gordon and Maj. Bacon have made
their opening speeches in the campaign
they have inaugurated for the nomination
for Governor, and il doesn't appear that
there is any very great difference in their
views with respect to State matters. As
anticipated, they are both in favor Of the
Railroad Commission. With reference to
the state road Mai Bacon prefers toat it
should be leased rather than sold, ard
Gen. Gordon offers pretty conclusive evil
dence that the suggestion that be pro-
poses to Join with Senator Brown to steal
it is nothing more than a SANDER. With
neither the State road matter, however.
nor the system OF dealing with the con-
victs will the man who is elected Cover
nor have much. if anything. to do. They
will be acted upon by the Legislature at
the proper time.
After all, tits probable that the only
things which Gen. Gordon and Mai. Ba-
con will ind 70 discuss will be purely per-
sonal. 1t is not very clear why they
should want TO discuss things Of that
sort unless each thinks he can make dam
aging charges against the other which
cannot be explained, and each feels GER
tain that he can explain, triumphantly,
everything in his record that appears to
be Of a doubtful character.
1t is rather amusing to notice the tone
Of sorrow and regret with which some OF
the state papers regard Gen. Gordon's
entrance into the contest. 1t is not
always clear whether the regret is caused
nv mill ha
beaten or that Gen. Gordon will suffer a
great Disappointment. As far as we are
able to see there is no occasion for tears.
MAJ. Bacon isn't going to be beaten unless
the people prefer some other candidate,
and Gen. Gordon ought not 10 feel greatly
put out if the people don't make him
their nominee.
The Goyernorship is a prize for which
as many citizens as want to have a right
10 contend. There may be other candi-
dates Tor the nomination and If there are
their entrance into the contest, it is to be
hoped, will not be made the occasion for
additional sorrow and regrets.
We feel certain that there are other
gentlemen who would like to be Governor,
and would become candidates for the
nomination if they were not restrained
by their modesty, or a feeling that it is
too late to enter the contest with any
chance Of success. is impossible, how
ever. to predict what the outcome OF the
campaign will be. If Gen. Gordon and
Maj. Bacon make the campaign IN
comfortably hot, a strong sentiment
against them may make itself felt, and
the convention may nominate neither Of
them.
