worthy attempt to make party capital of a
question which might involve two great
countries in war is not likely to endear the

born Americans
The Times does not take part in the ex-
travagant alarm of the Democratic sup
porters of the fishery treaty concerning a
possible conflict between England and
America as a result of it's rejec-
ton. The election of new President,
the Times says, will see wonderful calm
ing down of party passions. There is a
shrewd suspicion expressed that even Har-
rison, if elected, will find it convenient to
effect a similar settlement of the pending
fishery disputes, with enough colorado
alteration in it's details to save the pride
