Must Fish or Cut Bait.

The Senate Of the United States
rejected the treaty made to settle
fishery difficulties i'm the interest Of
the people Of the United States. sinp-
~ from partizan motives, and to de-
prive the administration OF the credit
OF having adjusted the questions in
yolved. satisfactorily to all our inter-
ests.
Its rejection means. either contin-
ued submission to insult. injury and
wrong. or it means reprisal and re-
taliation. One horn or the other OF
the dilema. the Republican Senate
must take. President Cleveland
promptly dropped dynamite bomb
into the Senate when his fishery
question message came asking au-
thority to institute retaliatory meas
ures which should prevent the trans
mission Of goods and merchandise to
or from Canada to pass over our
country without paying duty.
Hitherto merchandise in transit
has been permitted to cross our ter
ritory. over our lines of transporta-
ton into or out of Canada without
paving tribute to the United States.
The Republican Senate uncon'lit-
ionally rejected the treaty, SO the
matter could be urged against the
administration, that it was playing
into the hands of England, and for
this the patriotic knaves of that body
were hand shaking and congratulate
ing each other on their fine stroke Of
policy. when the message dropped
upon them asking that larger powers
of retaliation be given the executive.
The plan OF retaliation suggested
by Mr.. Cleveland is just aud reasona-
BILE. because it oyerlooks all points
open fairly to discussion, and meets
with proper retribution all those acts
of the Canadian government which
are nanifestly unfriendly and un-
justifiable.
The Senate will be compelled to
accede to Mr.. Cleveland's demand,
although to do so will be a practical
surrender of their Wanted superior
Americanism; because that body can.
not afford to have it said it first re-
jected the treaty and then refused to
give the President the powers Of co
ercion which are exactly appropriate
to the circumstances.
Canadian authorities have com
planned of this treaty, because a.
they alleged, it was a surrender of the
rights of John Macdonald's govern
ment to the demands of American
fishermen. But with the retaliator,
measures asked for by the president
that country will be compelled Il

The French Woman,s Strict Honest,.-


 Frenchwomen are honest. There is a corn important in France, with the exception of Paris. It is worth visiting for the sake of seeing the operations of the women to whom the entire duty of measuring the corn, deliv- ering it to the buyers, receiving the price and paying it over to the sellers is conaded These women are, more expreSstveIy than elegantly, termed 'leveuses de culs de poches," poche signifying in the dialect of La Beauce tue sack in which the grain is brought to mar ket. These women form an organized cor poration which has existed for several cen- turies They enjoy a reputution for the strictest integrity, which is, indeed, sufl- ciently attested by the fact that the whole transactions of the market, as above stated. are entrusted to them
 Nor are they under any surveillance what soever. The buyer and seller alike put ex- plicit confidence in them. The latter. when he has pitched his corn, leaves it entirely in their hands, goes about his business or pleas ure in the town and returns in the evening to receive the amount of the sale, without making any inquiries or taking any further trouble about it. The amount of confidence placed in the honesty of these women and the importance of the charge confided to them may be estimated from the fact that 10 GOO quintals of corn is by no means an unusual quantity to change hands in one market day at Chartres, tho whole of which is invariably disposed of for ready money on the spot I know of no parallel example, either in Eno- land or America--Mrs Frank Leslie.
