He Thinks the Matter Should be Held
Back Until After Election.
NEW YoRK, Sspt. 4-The Mail and Ex-

tanned Mr.. Blainss views on fishery policy
as follows: The fishing season is over.
Nearly all tho American vessels have re.
turned, and Canada will have mono to oper.
ate upon until the summer OF 1889. In the
meantime anything she may or may not do
is a matter Of supreme indifference to the
fishermen. Therefore it is better not to
clothe the present president with any addi
tional powers, since he has shown his utter
incompetency to deal with the general sub
iect. But let him carry out the present law
as be is bound 20 do, and this alone may
bring Canada to her senses and secure us
iustce at her hands For Republicans 10
vote for the bill reported by Mr.. Bemonts
committee in the house would be confession
bv them that the presidents refusal to carry
out the present law was justified, and would
nut a power in his hands which he would
WELD FOR partisan purposes IL is much bet
ter 10 lot the matter lie over till the new ad-
ministration shall come in, which will be
better prepared to handle the matter, free
from the excitements Of our political con.
tests and in ample time to protect every in.
terest To allow the president now to stop
the export business Of Canada through the
United States would seriously interfere with
several Of our home transportation lines, es-
pecially those leading to Portland, and cor
respondingly depress the entire commerce OF
that port. 1t would also afford Canada a
pretext for increasing her demands in 10.
taliation for such inhibition, and render
more difficult the general settlement by ne
COTTON. The rights Of the Pacific coast should
also be RENTED to the new administration.
