Nobody dares to declare policy that

PROTECTED FISH.

The fisheries question is at present rep

lection of few mackerel catchers to
make GO,0O0,0OO of people pay more for
mackerel than the Canadians do.
Last year Congress passed Fishery
retalatory act" as short and peppery as
the most intense hater OF England and
Canada could desire. 1t was passed for
the express purpose OF tickling the Fe-
mans and the fishermen at one and the
same time. Its title is as follows An
act TO authorize the President of the
United States to protect and defend the
rights of American fishing vessels, Am

the Dominion authorities dare to harass

while pulling mackerel out of their
waters, the President can instantly re-
taliate by Il proclamation forbidding
Canadian vessels to enter any American

this decree are confscation of the vessels

PROMPT ACTION.

There is one thing patent to the unuer-
standing Of every sensible American ana
that is the laggard spirit of politics to
comprehend the spirit OF The age
This IL the day OF business, OF
railways, steamships, and electricity, and
the genius OF the country IL ahead OF the
popular representation in Legislatures
All the active mind of America is asking
every hour in the day~~hy the House OF
Representatives does not do something.
Ever since December they have been
,inkering and bidding with a measure
that should he put 10 very plain practi-
cal form to suit the demand of the poo
pie.
The people of the United States want
the enormous surplus reduced, and re-
duced a, the points where the masses Of
the people feel the burden OF the war
taxes.
Now. why does the caucus daily in log
rolling dicussiOn with Such grave ques'
ton and argue on peanuts or any other
little poin, when the popular mind has
been called TO the consideration OF great
reform
Why do the politicians take such a
narrow-minded view OF the tobacco tax
as to ignore the principle for aho.ishlng
it, and merely play with the classification
OF the tax?
The common sense way is TO clear The
deck for action, wipe out the tobacco tax,
and having done that much to reform the
internal revenue, then go straight at the
abuses in the tariff system as pointed out
by the Presidents message.

THE MiNsrstL's LOVE.

TIE Minstrel wandered by the mountain stream.
And through the leafy grove
Ie tuned his lutte and sang. and lo his theme
Was all OF love.
The birds sang gayy all the summer day
Amid the boughs above;
The Minstrel heard. and answered TO their lay.
Twas all Of love.
He met thu maid that most he long'd 10 meet
As she al eve did rove;
lie greeted her as mcrest friends might greet.
No word Of love
To birds and stream his inmost heart he bears
And nigh, their pity move
For his sad lot. 10 her alone he dares
Not speak Of love.
All, cruel maid caust thou not read his eyes,
