leading Canadian journal on the ground thai
an adverse decision would inevitably be rem
dercd and the Dominion would suffer.
If the Canadian press has convinced itself
that there is nothing to arbitrate about in the
fisheries question, it has arrived at conclusion
reached by the vast majority Of Americans
three years ago. Let Yankee fishermen have
the free enjoyment of their commercial rights
in Dominion ports and let rcparation be made
for the insults and outrages committed in those
waters, and the controversy will be brought to
an end so far as Americans are concerned.
These are questions which do not require ar
bitration. The Canadians in attempting to
force their way into American markets and to
break down the tariff, have violated the prin-
cplcs Of maritime reciprocity. This is the
American case and it does not admit Of arbitra-

rs HE A JUGGFPNAUTf

Tn the State Senate on Wednesday Mr.. Cantor
made q pointed reference to the Juggernaut OF
modern events" Whereupon some Of the Sena-
tors comrades complimented him on having be-
slowed new and picturesque name on Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Cantor-who is recognized as the
Senatorial nurse Of the Hill boom-did not deny
the soft-to-mddling Impeachment, so that here
after Juggernautr and Cleveland may figure
as SYNONYMS in the political vocabulary Of the
Hill faction.
1t is not difficult to understand why the Prcsi-
dent and Juggcrnaut should be mistaken for each
other by the Governor and his allies. For GER
tainly the two would seem to have points Of re-
semblance Juggernaut is good deal idolized-
Inv those who know no better. Cleveland is good
deal idolized-by the Mugwumps. Juggernauts
devotees believe that the world could not posi-
bly, get along without his direct interference IN
its affairs. Cleveland's devOtecs are continually
inouiring in effect, " What would become OF the
United States II Grover were nOtp Juggernaut
delights in human sacrifices Cleveland, II Is
suspected, would be pleased to have the heads OF
the seventeen committeeman who voted against
his man last week served up to him on charger
Juggernaut is the proprietor OF an unpleasant
haunting car which has way OF crushing those
that get in its path. The Cleveland machihe-
;ust wait and see how 1t makes mince-meat OF

These are some of the particulars in which
Juggernaut and Cleveland possibly are regarded
as being as like as two peas by the Hill variety

THE EySC1L BILLS At Albany

IHE JiNCHL bILLS a hLDiNI
Mr.. Ainswoth, the chairman of the Assem-
bly, Committee Oh Appropriations. evidently
understands the temper of the people. lie is
making resolutc and most crcditabe effort to
keep the General Appropriation bill from being
swollen to undue proportions by the Insertion
Of unnecessary or immoderate items. This
measure, as he has reported it. is calculated to
dispease the axe-grinders. Nor will it prove
entirely satisfactory to those who, although
they have no selfish purpose to serve, fail to
bring to the outlay of public money the same
conservatism which marks their handling Of
private funds
But it is the sort of a bill that suits level
headed taxpayers, citizens who are equally
opposed to niggardliness and extravaganza
The committee has done it's duty. Now let the
responsible majority in the Assembly see TO it
that the labors Of the commttee-room are not
brought to naught by the Committee of the
Whole AS rule, the member who remarks
when an appropriation bill is being considered.
81 move to amend by inserting the following
ITEM" etc, is good man to vote down.
The other great fiscal measure the annual
Supply BILL is awaited with interest In the
nature of things it cannot be got IN shape for
report until later stage of the session. 1t is
fair to presume that it will be found to be as
clean as the appropriation bill

IpRJrBITJOY NOT TAINTED.

The premature reports of an agreement oil,
the Fisheries Commission were received with
4 feeling of dismay in Canada. Arbitration is
what the Government and organs of both par
ties have clamored for since the abrOgation of
the fisheries clauses of the Treaty OF Washing
ton but when it was announced i'll Ottawa and
Toronto that treaty had been sent TO the
Senate and that certain technical questions Ike
those of the headlands and the method OF meas
uring the three-mile limit were to be referred
to arbtrators there was CONSERVATION IN the
Dominion where one might reasonably have
expected public rejoicing. Government and
Oppositon journals alike lamented what they
termed the surrender of colonial interests. and
rcproached Great Britain for deserving its i'm
perial subjects for the sake Of making craven
pcaco with the United states. The rumors
relating to the settlement are now known not to
have been well founded. but the comments of
the Canadian journals are none the less in
structive Arbitration has been condemned by
the United States Senate III advance Of the
Commissions deliberations. 1t is not a
method of settling the fisheries question which
Americans have favored 1t has been Thought
to be the Canadian policy; but apparently this
is mistake. When the Commission was re-
ported on what seemed to be good authority
TO have agreed upon scheme of arbitration,
there was an outcry against it beyond the Dor
der. Arbitration is not wanted there
The measurement of bays is one of the
technical questions which arbitrator would
have to decide If their services are ever re-
ouired in the settlement of the fisheries ques-
ton 1t is interesting TO find "The Toronto
NIail' raising the objection that arbitrators
would inevitably rule against the Dominion on
this point. This admission Is grounded upon
the assumption that arbtrators would accept
the modern European solution Of the headlands
question and reject the Canadian proposition
that the three mile line can be measured from
beadland to headland. England and Franco
when bay Is more than ten miles broad at its
month suspend headlands measurements and
annroximate marine league from the actual
shore. Similar arrangements have been made
by Great Britain, France, Denmark, Belgium.
Germany and the Netherlands in determining
the three-mile limit in the North Sea and in
other waters. This construction OF the Treaty
of 1918 would deprive the Canadians, as "The
Mail" readily comedies, of hundreds of square
miles Of maritime territory; and since it APP
prehends the adoption of the European rule by
arbitrators. il strenuously opposes this method
of settlement. This is one of the most impor
tant Of the technical questions involved in this
controversy, and arbitration is condemned by

All that was to be said for and against the
High-Liccnse bill, so far as the Assembly LIZ
else Committee is concerned, was said yester>
day. Several liquor-dealcrs opposed the meas
ure but no representative of the Prohibition
party asked TO be heard. Their reason for
silence, as voiced by one of themselves, is that
the bill is not likely to pass the Legislature
if it does they will have something to say to
the Governor When it comes to an Executive
hearing, therefore, the liquor interest and the
Prohibitionists may be found standing shoulder
to shoulder. The bill will receive some slight
amendments in the committees hands, and
next Tuesday will probably be reported favor
ably. It's passage is not doubtful provided the
majority realize their duty.
