THE FISHERIES TROUBLES.

Until the Great Salt Lake is stocked
with smoked herring, dried cod, or some
other fish that can be preserved in its
waters, our people will not be greatly
interested in the fishery question, now
under discussion in the United States
Senate. Still, we are fractionaliy con-
cerned in the cost of fish balls and
salted and picked fish. We are rather
in favor of settlement of the vexatious
dispute from that reason as well as be-
cause we might be called upon for our
quota in taxes and men in case it should
result in war.
It is q very pretty quarrel as it stands.
Some two hundred owners of fishing
vessels, manned for the most part ty
Nova Scotia men. insist in the name
of the protection of American indus :.
try" on assessing a duty on fish
brought to our ports in foreign vessels.
The Canadians. on the other hand, re-
fuse to sell them bait. This is a retail
iatory measure. Congress has author
lied the President to retaliate on this
retaliation by shutting off Canadian
trade of ali kinds. If he should do this
Canada Will fad some way to retail
ate" again. The end of it all may be
non-intercourse greatly to the detri-
nlent of both parties, and to the hun
dreds of thousands of people. TO our
unsophistocated minds it would seem
that retaliation had better go back
wards instead of forward. Remove the
duty from fish and then Canada will
take of the taboo from bait. "Cheap
bait and cheap ish"is The motto waf ed
on the wings of the wind from the shore
Of our little ocean to those of the Allan
tic, 1nd we commend it to the quarrel
some fishermen as very simple settle
ment o., their difficulties.

TOO sEN>ITLyE.

In the House, on Monday, "Sunset"
Cox referred to Nevada as a rotten
borough" which reference reused the
ire of Representative Woodburn who
retorted by bitter personal attack on
the iovial New York Congressman. Mr..
WOODBURY. has suddenly developed a
degree of sensitiveness which is not at
all casr icteristic OF the average Sage
brusher. Nevada is and always has
been a rotton borough in the sense
In which the term is popularity
understood, and citissns Of the State
are not in the habit of denying it. In
fact. it is more brazen to deny than to
admit it. 1t is surprising that Mr..
Woodburn should grow indignant over
a declaration the truth Of which is as
weIfand as generally understood as is
the fact that millionaire Californians
bid for and buy the State as openly as
they deal in mining stocks or other
things which are in the market and
they want. When a Sharon or q Fair
wants a Senatorship, he sends up to
Nevada to inquire the price, and if the
terms are satisfactory, the bargain IS
concluded and the money paid. How
many bona fde citizens of Ne
vada have ever represented that
State in the United Stat'
Senate? Has there ever been one who
was not more citizen of California
than of NevadaR viii Mr.. Woodburn
deny that these Calitornians paid cash,
an / good deal of it, for the Senator
ships?
If Representative WoOdbUrn would
have his Stat relieved of the stigma of
rotteuborou8h. he should induce his
people - discontinue their rotten
borough prac icts and follow the ways
of houeHy; and until he does tina; he
ought not to take offense when people
speak of Nevada as it is.
