Useful Suggestions ON the Proper Drainage

One of the most important subjects

drainage, in connection with roads.

THE FISHERIES TROUBLE.
THE DEEP ROOTED JEALOUSY OF
TIE CANADIANS
Against the Americans the Real
Cause of the Dispute-War Dis
cussed i'm Parliament.

MONTREAL, June 1.-The real cause
of all the fisheries trouble is the deep
rooted jealousy of the Canadians
against the Americans. Last night the
subject of war was discussed at the
clubs. A prominent member OF Par
lament, who is strong governn ent
supporter, speaking on the subject
with your correspondent, said: There
will be no half way about the speedy
settlement of this question, We shall
force it upon the States to declare
whether they will keep their fishing
vessels ont Of our waters or whether
we shall send them to the bottom.
Being asked what course would be
pursued by the Canadian cruisers II
thew met with armed resistance, the
Minister of Marine declared that
Canada will take the consequence, and
in case of resistance, the officers com
handing the different cruisers have
orders to shoot the vessel out Of the
waters, England is at Canada's back.
The Canadian fisheries employ 59,49.
men, ll77 vessels worth i2,02l, 033
and 2S,472 boats worth $S52,257. Thu
industry produces $4,000, 900 per year
of which nearly SS,0O0,O00 is in ex
ports, the United States taking S., 800,

TRADE CONDITIONS
IN AND ABOUT PHILADELPHIA
AND PENNSYLVANIA
Not Just What They should be-A
Great Many Strikes Threatened
and Much Anxiety Prevails.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, June Trade
developments of the past I W days
have been rather unfavorable. A
general iron strike is threatened in
Eastern Pennsylvania for a Z per
cent. advance. A grand tariff de-
monstration will be held Saturday
evening. The textile manufacturers,
representing not less than S50,u00,OOO
worth of capital, have succeeded in
ERECTING their organization for mu-
tual protection and various subcom-
mittees have been appointed for the
regulation of the affairs of the $50
citation. The manufacturers prefer
that little be said about il, as tue
movement is simply in the way OF an
experiment The aim is two-iold;
first, to prevent organic d labor from
placing unjust conditions upon it,
and secondly, for the development OF
more friendly relations between the
textile intert SITS. Several meetings OF
textile manufacturers have been held
lately to fix up prices, but they have
failed. Fifteen looms were repre-
scented a a meeting held on Wednes-
day A strike will probably take
PLACE among 1000 Drick-makers on
June LIST. Half the architec S in the
city are doing very little and the other
half are quite busy. They report that
serious damage tas been done to
building operations by the strike for
shorter hours. The quiet opposition
of the manufacture TO the Knights
of Labor and the trades unionists is
developing an unruly spirit among
many workmen, and a renewal OF the
strike spirit seems therefore to be
threatening. A large, amount OF CAPT
tai is watching the adjustment of all
of the d sputes in this city. The build
ing trades are pretty well settled.
Street car strikes ara disposed of, but
some thirty or forty petty strikes still
exist and an extension of them is
threatened among the iron workers,
express companies, textile manulac'
turera, and even among some branches
of the building trades.
A slight reaction has set in in the
anthracite and bituminous coal trades

indications are that we will have hot

that Judge Warren Cowan, who is
Chancellor of this district and pTesi'

didate for Congress. This suggestion,
and one that there be an indie
pendent Republican candidate, causes
some stir among the Democratic

cradle opposition to Mr.. CatchiDgsi
which is daily increasing, and many
think the Hon. L. W. MsRruder would
defeat him if he would become a can

a deep interest in the future OF Mem

privilege, to say something in refer
ence to the conflict now going on be-
tween the old and proposed new gas

to confide in those who propose to
start the new company than in any
other OF Adams race who have
banded together in any other under

two companies in less than five, prob
ably ten years, pool their business in
SOME way, one or the other
pobble the stock of the other

made by the United States Marshal
Aud would not the situation be
worse then than now, with the city 8

the city be at the mercy OF the old

Hard ON Tom Baker.

Chattanooga Times: Tom Baker,
vour Uncle Jesse Gaut's man for
Clerk and Master of Coffee county,
goes on repeating the lie that Maj Key
voted for Reid Tor Governor, and the
other lie that Key is Republican in
disguise; this with a view TO leveling
KEY alongside himself, as a moral and
political renegade, and to iniure him
with straight Democrats. This is the
same Tom Baker who resents with a
great show of wrath the mention OF

other fact that he renegaded to the

The GubernatOriaI Contest In Ala
bRma.

bHma.
Mobile Register: North Alabama is
at present, as it has been in the past,
greatly divided as to men and policies.
Gov. 0'Neal has never had solid sup
port from North Alabama, and we
know that much of Mr.. McKleroys
strength in that eection is due to the
fact that he sought to antagonize Gov.
O'Nears reelection. On the other
hand Mr.. Dawson's strength is from
the friends of Gov. ONeal, who desire
to reciprocate his refusal to enter the
race against O'Neal two years ago.
McKleroy was eager to trip up the OLD
Governor and occupy bis seat; but
Dawson, cool, phlegmatic and ludg--
matte. held his ambition we'll in hand
and openly proclaimed that he would
not hold the garments OF the young
man while they stoned the martyr
The result OF the conduct OF Dawson
and McKleroy towards Gov, ONeal in
1884 is now seen in the vote OF the
North Alabama counties. Neither OF
those gentlemen are widely known
in North Alabama, not hall so
well known as Gen. Clayton. put
they are recognized as the ONeaI
man and the anti.0'Neal mao. Lauder
dale, the home of Gov. O'Neal, gives
its vote for Dawson, but Franklin,
which doesn't like 0'Nesl, gives its
vote to McKleroy, and 50 it goes.
Now, when McKleroy drops out OF
the race is it reasonable to suppose
that the delegates who support him
as AGAINST Dawson aud O'Neal will go
over to Dawson? By no means. 1t
is Just as likely that they will go over
to Clayton or seay. These latter can
didates had nothing to do with the
opposition to o'Neal in 1884. The
fact that Mr.. McKleroy might have
gotten a good many votes in his own
section had Gen. Clayton not been a
candidate may weigh with Mr.. Me-
Kleroy, but certainly would not justify
the North Alabama delegates in being
handed over to Dawson or any one
else.

men who worked faithfully for him

even at this early date that he must
