tho reported new reciprocity treaty have caused
the utmcat indignation among the fishing indus
tries of Gloucester. and Democratic and Repub-
licans alike unite in condemning it, In CONVEX
satien with reporter, one of the largest dealers
said. The new treaty means nothing but re-
ciprocity in fish. If such treaty should be rat
flied the fishing industry of the country would
be ruined and transferred to Canada This is
just what Gloucester fishermen have been fight
ing against Reciprocity in fish means the
gradual decadence OF the fishing business in the

trading privileges. 1--WE might just as we'll an
mex Canada, and be done with it," they say, III

addressed courthouse full of Republicans here
this afternoon. This meeting was the formal

the State institutions. The people are anxious
to know something about the condition of our

Water Works and Railroad.

The Corunna Independent says:
That The TINES has whitfield on the
water works matter there is no ques-
ton. Mr.. Dewey makes no straight
forward denial of it.
In your issue of May 9TH you said:
"The Independent knows that THE
TINES shortly before election went
back on the water works." and you
have persistently said that THE TINES
whitfield" on this question. This we
deny and have denied. You cannot
show from the columns of The TIMES
any statement, you cannot reproduce
any paragraph, you cannot quote any
article from The TINES that differs so
much as hairs breadth from the
position OF The TINES as stated in
our article of May I4th. Our files are
at your use in this office. Search
them and search them carefully and
then by the 'deadly parallel column"
show where we whitfield. Don't keep
on stating that you know The TINES
went back on the water works, but
prove it. Yes, Mr.. independent, we
do make straightforward denial of
it," and we say that it is "maliclous"
lie, manufactured out of whole cloth
and that any person who states it, has
not the first drop Of manly blood
flowing in his veins, and is totally and
wholly devoid of any principle Of
honorable dealing. Tie last thing
we said about the water works question
before election was:
"We are for water works, the best
that can be procured, regardless Of
cost, and have no doubt any plan
that may be adopted will be wise as
compared with single years delay
in the introduction of an abundant
supply of good pure water"
You have acted on the old adage
that ga lie well stuck to is as good as
the truth" but it will not avail you.
We cannot but wonder how any one
can sink himself so low In the depths
of disgrace and perfidy as to make
such accusations week after week and
offer not the first scintilla OF evidence.
Again we ask you to prove your
charge by quoting from this paper
some article in proof of it, retract or
stand convicted of being malicious
liar"

week again ventilates it its moral lax
ity and utter disregard of truth in a
