We arraign the present Democratic Adj
ministration for its weak and unpatriotic
treatment of the fisheries question, and its
pn>illanimou> surrender of the essential
privileges to which our tislng vessels are
entitled in Canadian ports under the treaty
of 1918. the reciprocal maritime legisla-
ton Of 1880 and the comfy of nations and
which Canadian fishing vessels receive in
the ports of the United States. We con-
demn the policy of the present Admins
tration and the Democratic majority in
Congress toward our fisheries as unfriendly
and conspIcuousiy unpatriotic, and as tend
ing to destroy a valuable National industry
and an Indispensable resource of defence
against a foreign enemy.
The name of American applies alike TO
all citizens of the Republic and imposes
upon all alike the same obligation of obe-
dicnce to the laws. At the same time that
citizenship is and must be the panoply and
safeguard of him who wears it, and
project him. whether high or low, rich, or
poor, in all the civil rights. 1t should and
must afford him protection at home, and
follow and protect him abroad in whatever
land he may be on a lawful errand.

party in 1884 and continue to adhere to the

He Was Not Delicate.

A thin, delicate looking woman sat In a
horse car n evening recently, and next
her sat a native OF the queens realm. The
window behind the Briton was open, and
the cool wind blew in on the woman, max
ing her SILVER. At last she said in a lady
like way. Won't you be kind enough to
close the window behind you, as it makes
me very coldf" 1t would hardly have
caused the man any Inconvenience to
grant this request. but he replied harshly,
II prefer 1t open; you Americans can't
stand anything; you all seem to have con
sumption" The other passengers In the
car were astounded at his incivility, and
there were many angry glances cast at the
royal subject.
Finally a gentleman rose on the oppo-
site side of the car, and, approaching the
'Englishman, with about 900 pounds avoir-
dupois, leaned over him, and, g~rasping the
window, slammed it down with vigor;
then he remarked: Now, my friend, If
you think all Americans are afflicted with
consumption you Just raise that window
again. l am an American" The little
woman blushed, the other passengers
smiled, the American returned TO his seat,
and the Briton looked out of the window
and thought.-San Francisco Argonaut.

He Is His Own lawyer.

You ask me why I always insist on
being my own lawyer, and why l have a
general repugnance for lawyers. 1t is
just this: The mass of mankind are help
less when they get mixed up in a law
suit, and the lawyer, knowing this, takes
advantage Of the circumstances, and the
laws, too, are admirably adapted 10 aid
the lawyer in preying upon the rest of
mankind. When an estate is to be par
titioned the law gives the lawyer his per-
centage, sometimes a very large sum,
depending upon the size of the estate.
When a divorce suit is to be commenced
the husband is always decreed t pay the
lawyer who defends the wife.
II a receiver is appointed, the receiver
must nave a lawyer, and the court gives
the lawyer o percentage Of the assets,
h same rule applies to assignments and
assignees. II a man is TO be declared in.
sane, the court appoints a lawyer amicui
curia, and he must be paid out Of tn,
property Of the insane person. Why
the whole vocation of a lawyer is t.
divide up and appropriate other peoples
property, and they do it with a nonchal
ance that is simply amazing. Well, ]
have made up my mind that while they
may get some of my property after l an
dead, they never will get any of it while

Riding upon the elevated roads is said
to be injurious to the eyesight. With
each passing train a quantity of dust and
cinders is blown through the cars when
windows or doors are open, and also n
far more dangerous form of flying par
ticles in the shape of minute chips from
the rails. The habit of looking out of
the window, which so many indulge in,
ID also deleterious. The objects seen are
so near, and SO rapidly passed, that the
constant change is very trying to the
eyesight. In riding upon the surface
railroads the case is different, as the OBJ
jects seen are comparatively distant, and
are, therefore, within range of vision for
a much longer time.-New York Sun.
