COMMUNICATIONS.

The She'll Fish Commission. Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Why the shell fish commission was ore ated-Because that under town jurisdiction lines between towns were uncertain; also the line between New York and Connecticut was unsettled. Different surveys disagreed, and the work in town clerks offices was not all ways well done or accessible, as in some in- stances records and maps when called for were found to be in the hands of interested parties at either their homes or offices and in- accessible to others wishing to locate lots. designate, and of their jurisdiction, made it hazardous for and kept capital from going in to 8 considerable extent.
 Why it should be retained-It has regu- lated and made it safe for investors. It has strengthened out many mistakes, having a thorough knowledge of all parts of the busi- ness, and this has been a large part of the cost of maintaining it. These three men get $500 each year, whereas there is 8 bill to provide an agent at $1 800, which, with the engineering and other expenses. will make the cost more than at present. Their value is recognized by other States and countries, and our own government is going to send fish commissions steamer here the coming summer to assist them in devising means to exterminate the star6sh.
 All who have knowledge of and are qualified to judge are favorable to them except one man, so far as known, whose griev- ance seems to be that he cannot mould them, and whom they gave decision against in a case they arbitrated when he is reported to have said the commission should go, partic- ularly the engineer. The expense of the commission the last year was $5.400, while the direct tax was about $7,OO0, and the oystermen are willing to be taxed for an amount to pay this expense as at present. This same man, although he is so strong an advocate for the State's rights during the last 30 days under the towns, is known to have secured thousands of acres deeded to him by some towns, and that at varying fig ures, mostly believed to be for nominal sums and which could not have been got from the State at less than 1.10 per acre. Thus the State is thousands short from the revenue for sale of grounds and as most of this is taxed as worthless grounds are continually short of revenue is believed much of it's ground if held in small lots and throughly worked would be valuable; but such large acres uneultivated or cultivated partially make pest hole for stars and make it next to impossible for adjoining owners to culti- vate theirs successfully.

NEEDS ATTENT1ON.

The maiming and slaughter of railroad brakemen goes on year after year with little notice or protest. The other day ex-Com- missioner Coffin, of Iowa, representing the Brotherhood of Brakemen, made an address in which he showed that more brakemen and railroad couplers were killed every year than all other persons by railroad accidents. Three hundred and forty-nine of them were killed last year in Iowa alone; and 5000 were killed last year on the 150, ,00O miles of railroad in this country by the two causes named, viz, CD by coupling cars; and @ in the discharge of the duties of brakemen. In the course of his remarks he said:
 I refer to the wonderful slaughter of men by the old link and link coupler and the hand brake. Our commission in Iowa has caused a law to be made that has been on the statute books ten yeaas, to the effect that the railroads shall report to the commission CTS the accidents occurring along their lines, and it is shown that in ten years we have killed and maimsd 2, 424 men in the State of Iowa by these two causes alone.
 These are astonishing facts. The average would be something like 240 year. These reports commenced when we had only 5000 miles of railway, while now we have 5000 The commissioners' report last year shows LuaG tucIc WoI0 k1LleQ ana WOuQQ6Q Dy these two causes alone 349. We think in Iowa our roads are managed as carefully as. any roads, We are 8 temperance State and our railroad men are temperate and careful, and still last year there were 349 killed and maimed by the two causes I have spoken of
 There are 150, ,000 miles of railroad in the United States, and over 5000 of these active, strong men were either killed or maimed for life from those two causes alone last year. I state these facts so as to inspire e sort of en- thusiasm on the part of the Interstate Com merce commissioners to induce them to use their influences to pass an act by the national legislature compelling the adoption of safety appliances. I have @ table in my hand in condensed form showing that in all the great accidents in the last fifty years there were less killed and maimed than were killed and maimed by the two causes have spoken of last year. These facts arc astounding.
 This is terrible record. And the worst of it is that much of this wounding and kill ing is entirely unnecessary and avoidable. But it is cheaper for the railroads to get new men than to properly care for the safety of those whom they employ.

wice bearing. In effect it is that if a man draws his bank account the day before list ing and puts the money into greenbacks, which are absolutely not taxable, he still can
 be taxed; and still further, that though a day is set for making returns, that does not preclude making assessments at other dates. The Hartford Courant remarks concerning this: So far as this is against evasion by trickery it is healthy, but so far as it savors of the grab-an policy it isn't. A man here in Connecticut may by the sudden and unex- pected sale of land in Illinois receive $50, GOO on the Both of September. By our law he would be taxed upon it the next day, though if he had received it May 30th and reinvested June 30th, he would not have been taxed here at all. This decision looks as if they meant to tax him whatever day he had the money temporarily on deposit.
 The charge that the Democratic party in New Jersey bargained directly with the liquor interest for its support is well borne out by the sequel. The party caucus pres pared bill to repeal the county option law, which the Republicans passed year ago, M 01o P~A'y "hp was FlBofously enaPpeo to drive the senators into line for it's support. Appeals for the retention of the law came from Republicans, Prohibitionists and Demo- crats alike, end none requested its repeal ex- cept the brewers and saloon keepers. Their demands, however, overcame all other con- alterations, and the bill has been rushed through the senate by a strict party vote. The measure bears still further marks of the brewers interference in the changes it makes in the control of liquor cases. The courts are no longer to regulate the traffic by re- voking licenses for ofenses against the law, that authority being transferred to the excise boards, which are notoriously amena- ble to political influence. The constitu- tionality of the bill as drawn is questionable.

CONSOLIDATION.

The consolidation muddle continues to make itself mildly conspicuous. There are but few in the city interested in it, and they disagree so that there is no prospect of har- mony. The fact is that the time is not yet ripe for consolidation. When the city wants it more and the outlying districts are less heartily opposed to it the matter will receive the attention it deserves. Until then it will be very difficult to stir up much interest in it. An effort is to be made to get the board of aldermen to pass a vote in favor of con- solidation, but even if such vote is passed it will be of little value as an expression of public opinion. As for forcing consolida- tion. we do not believe that the legislature will take any action looking that way It ought not to.

 One of the latest uses of photography is to make e cannon ball take picture of it's own wabblings. An arrangement something like a camera is placed in the forward end of the projectile and when it is fired directly at the sun the light traces lines upon the sensitive plate, from the direction of which it can be told whether the projectile has kept in one position or has wsvered to and fro during it's flight. The scheme is largely theoretical as yet.
 The Arizona Howler thus howls: Some chump of tenderfoot in the east is writing paragraphs which he credits to "the Arizona Kicker" and few editors out this way whose brains are in their mucilsge pots are saying that this stuff is better than anything we can do. We dsnounce s'the Kicker" as e myth, and if the galoot who invented it will show himself in this town we will soon con- vince him that our brains and our biceps are in the right place. "The Howler" represents genuine Arizona journalism and now is the time to subscribe.
 The right of non-union man to contract without molestation for the sale or purchase of his labor has been recognized by the Mis. souri senate, which has passed bill provid- ing for the punishment of "any person o1 persons who shall intimidate by threat or violence of any kind whatever" any laborel with intent to prevent him from gaining ol holding employment. This right has been so generally encroached upon in the State by the unions that it has been deemed neces- sary to crystalline the common law as to conspiracy in this respect into definite statute.
