A CONSISTENT POLICY,

Congressman PERRY BELMONT gives an In
teresting history Of tho Retaliation bill pro-
posed by the Democratic House Inst year
before the negotiations for n settlement ofthe
Fisheries question by treaty " ere commenced.
Mr.. BELMoNT's story ~scatters TO tho VIM the
Republican charge that President CLEvE-
.Axp's action on the subject has been incon-
sistent.
In 1887 the policy Of retaliation to protect
our American fishermen's rights was first
suggested by the Administration, and Judge
WHARTON, the law adviser Of the State De-
partment. framed the bill which was reported
by Mr.. BELMoNT's committee. Almost
identically the same powers now asked by
the President were given by the bill Several
Democratic members from the West and
South who thought the bill an ex-
tremo measure called on Mr.. CLEVELAND
with Congressman BELMONT and were
assured by him that the measure had his
approval. The bill was changed in the SEN
ate by the omission Of all the authority to
stop the transportation Of Canadian goods in
bond in order to protect the railroad inter-
ests. Mr.. BELMONT believes that the deslre
to protect the railroads is now the secret of
the Republican anger at the Presidents mes
sage.
At all events, Mr.. BELMoNT's story proves
that before the treaty was thought Of Presi-
dent CLEVELAND favored the very same re.
t~aliative policv he now that the
treaty has failed.

PROTECTING IMMIGRANTS,

Mr.. STEPHENSON. the most active Of the
Commissioners of Emigration. seems at last
TO have reached q correct conclusion in rela-
ton to the railroad pool business in Castle
Garden and the victimizing to which immi-
grants have been subjected by the /" baggage
room" system of the pool and the express"
monopoly enjoyed by BARNEY BIaLrN.
Mr., STEPHENSON favored the breaking up
Of the railway pool, in the belief that the
immigrant wou Id be benefited by free CON-
petition. After the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Company withdrew from the
pool. the COMMISSIONS sought to protect 1t
against the arbitrary exactions of the pool.
Mr.. STEPHENSON has now made an investiga-
ton, and found. that while on the indie
pendent roads the immigrants are carried in
good, comfortable cars, they are treated on
the New York Central, West Shore and other
pool" lines little better than cattle.
As the subject has been brought up before
the Emigration Committee. it will be diff
cult for the Emigrant Commissioner who
are in the interest of the Castle Garden pool
not TO concede the reforms Mr.. STEPHENSON
/, favors and demands.

The chickens name was Minnie, and when
called by that name she would come and

extent and character which cannot fail to
make q favorable impression on the commu-
nifty.
It 10 proper that Labor should have Its

to establish the fact that labor does
not mean riot and anarchy, but law. order
and good citizenship. When tens of thou
sands of men whose lives are not made
bright by wealth and ease aud en-
joyment can get together peacefully,
in o contented. patient frame of
mind. and enjoy one day Of pleasure without
running into license, the citizen can feel
assured that there is no danger to the peace
Of the community from the laboring people.
Labor Day ought to be made q national
holiday. for honest labor Is the rock on
which our liberties are based.
