TAKING HIN By TIE SNOUL

When the President dropped his Wednesday
policy on the Fisheries question, and executing
a sOmersault without parallel in our history,
announced to Congress his Thursday policy,
Mr.. Mills Of Texas, said, exutingly, that
while the Republicans may have taken the
British lion by the tail we take him by the
snout." Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, in speaking in
the House the other day, gave evidence Of the
extent to which the habit Of taking the British
lion by the snout had characterized the fish
cries policy of the Administration. He found
it in the statements made by Sir Charles Tup-
per in the Canadian Parliament, as reported in
"Hansard," the official publication of the
Canadian Government. What Sir Charles
Upper said was said with caution and re-
serve, for, as he explained, his utterances
might be quoted against Canadian interests
then pending in the treaty before the Senate.
There were some strong pledges given, it
seems, during the negotiation Of the treaty
touching the question of free trade. He said ::
Mr. Bayard told US, the American plcnipotentiaries
told US, that there but way Of obtaining
what we wished. "You want greater freedom Of
commercial intercourse; you want relaxation in our
tariff arrangements" etc. "You VIII find
that the policy OF this Government, tho policy Of
the President and Of the House % Representatives,
the policy Of the great Democratic party OF the
United States, Will at once take onward march IN
the direction you propose and accomplish steadily that
which you would desire. 1t is the only way it can
ever DO attained.
TO this Sir Charles Upper added:
Those were not empty words; those were tho
sober utterances Of distinguished statesmen, who
pointed TO the avOwed policy Of tho Government Of
the United States as the best evidence Of the SIN
certify Of what they said.
Sir Charles went on to refer to Mr.. Mills, Of
Texas, who he explained, as chairman of the
great Committee on Ways and Means, occu-
pies position in the American Congress CORE
spending to Finance Minister in Parliament

Our Brooklyn readers will find much to in
terest them in the review of the political SIT
uation in that city which is printed in this
issue. and Republicans everywhere will rejoice
that the outlook for the success Of the party
ticket there is particularly bright. 1t is OF
extreme importance that the nominations to be
made shall be such as to strengthen the Ma
tional ticket, and this can readily be done while
at the same time they appeal to the strong
local sentiment in favor of purified city gov

Brooklyn voluntarily choose TO let themselves
be governed by so INSCRIPTIONS an individual

The object Of the Church of England Burial,
Funeral and Mourning Reform Association
which the Rev. Frederick Lawrence has come
to the country to promote, is one that most
sensible people will sincerely sympathze with.
But Mr.. Lawrences contention that more
speedy dissolution Of the dead is greatly to be
desired is not the cardinal point involved in
the reform. What is urgently demanded, IN
this country at least, is less extravaganza and
display in funerals, which often leave heavy
burden on the survivors. When this much is
secured it will be time to discuss the subject
which Mr.. Lawrence made the theme of his
address yesterday.
