The Fisheries Question.

Senator Frye, of Maine, suggests an
easy and expeditions way of protect
ing American fishermen from repe-
tition of the outrages that were per-
petrated with impunity when CleVe-
land was in the White House and
Bayard was at the head of the State
Department. His proposal is that
the Government insist that American
rights in Canadian waters shall be re-
spected. II American fishing vessels
are seized then damages should be de-
manded OF the British Government.
II these are refused then the same
treatment should be accorded to
Canadian vessels that is melted out to
ours.
We believe with Senator Frye that
If some such course as this were pur-
sued the fisheries dispute would be
soon settled In a manner satisfactory
to all concerned. We are, however,
OF the opinion that this country will
never be obliged to have recourse to
the extreme measures suggested by
Mr.. Frye. The indignities put upon
the Stars and Stripes by Canadian
officials would never have been per-
petrated if 1t had not been that at the
time there was installed at Washing
ton an Administration that was not
very sensitive about maintaining the
honor Of the country when doing so
would bring it into collision with
England. The uuwillingness of that
Administration to do aught that
would offend England was the real
cause of all the insults and the in
juries inflicted upon our fishermen.
AS that cause no longer exists we can
confidently look forward to an honor
able and satisfactory settlement of
the fisheries question.

Arbor Day.

Arbor Day is legally established In
a majority of the States and Terri
tories of the Union. California, Col
orado, Connecticut, Dakota, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin,
are the first % organizing to plant
trees. Every State Of the Union
should fall in line. Ten States have
made Arbor-Day one of the calender
days of the respective. commonwealth.
Teachers of the public schools should
take special interest in the good
work OF planting; every family
should. The planting need not be Of
great trees. Shrubs, vines and small
trees are appropriate about the house.
Plant evergreens for wind.breaks;
they will be good investment. II
the legally appointed day Is not sea-
sonable for the trees you want to
plant, plant some tree that may be
seasonable on that day, and, earlier
or later as the case may be, plant
literally for ornament and profit, that
your children may rejoice and the
wayfarer may bless you.

New York Mail: The girl with the
violin is the most picturesque and
novel feature in society just now,
which finds her-standing tall and
slim, with her instrument tucked I'M
der her dimpled chin and her arm
sweeping out In wide, graceful curves
as she draws the bow across the
strings-a much more pleasing sight
to see" than the girl perched on the
piano stool, with her back to her
hearers. So the violin teachers are
reaping rich harvests, and many
young women who never did much at
the piano are beginning to discover
the true outlet for their talents in
Paganini's instrument. A young
society girl who Is a performer on the
violin recently received a unique
present from the man to whom she Is
engaged. -----
1t consists of very handsome
violin bow, as beautiful and as rich as
it could be made, and with very
large and brilliant diamond set in its
lower end. The effect of this is, be-
yond measure, charming. AS she
stands facing her audience, the violin
is under her chin and the bow held
high, and as the music begins it darts
rays of red and blue and green as the
light falls upon its facets. AS the
time becomes faster and the music
more brilliant shower of sparks
seem to flash from the great white
gem, as though the staccato notes
had become visible and were thrown
like spray in the air. It is a charm
ing fancy, and one which the lovers
of fair violin players will be quick to
initiate when they are fortunate
enough to be able to afford such an
adornment for their betrothed's chosen
instrument.

The Meat Inspection Bill.

If the farmers OF the State of Min
nesota who were so anxious for the
OF the Meat Inspection hill,
don't become dlsgnsted with the law
inside OF two years, Their we will eat
q peck of green perrimmons. The in
tention of the bill was to present
Armour and other great dealers and
packers of meat from shipping
dressed meat to st. Paul and Minne-
apolis and competing with minnesota
beef. To do this the bill provides
that all cattle, sheep and swine
slaughtered for human food, shall be
inspected within twenty-four hours
before the slaughter of the same.
Mind, now, the bill says "ALL cattle,
sheep and swine,n shall be inspected
twenty-four hours before being
slaughtered. This, as we understand
1t, would prevent any one from
slaughtering for his own use a calf,
sheep or hog. Suppose for instance,
our friend Milo Camp has nice calf,
pig, or sheep which he concludes to
kill for use in his family; twenty.
four hours before slaughtering the
same he must hunt up the inspector
and have the animal inspected. And
IL our local butchers, Flatner and
CARNEY should buy half dozen or
dozen head of cattle, they cannot UNI
der this bill, II it becomes a law,
slaughter them, without having each
one Of them inspected twenty-four
hours before killing. Below we give
section 8 of the bill, so that our read
ers can judge for themselves whether
or not we are right in our conclusions
In regard to the effect of the law.
Sec. 8. It shall be the duty of the
inspectors appointed hereunder to in
spect all cattle, sheep and swine
slaughtered for human food within
their respective Jurisdictions, within
twenty-four hours before the slaught-
er of the same, aud il found healthy
and In suitable condition to be
slaughtered for human food, to give
the applicant certificate i'll writing
to that effect. LII found unfit for food
by reason of infectious disease, such
inspectors shall order the immediate
removal and destruction OF such
diseased animals, and no liability
for damages shall accrue by reason
Of such action.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. ApriL15. 1880

WASHINGTON, ApriI15, 1889.
Secretary Blaine laughed heartily
when a gentleman asked him if
there was any truth in the story that
he Intended shortly to retire from the
Cabinet, and for answer passed his
hand around the gentleman's arm
and conducted him oyer to look at
the interior changes that are being
made in the old Seward mansion,
near the White House, preparatory
to its occupancy by the Blaine family
next fall.
The Democratic attempt to make it
appear that the relations between the
President and Secretary Blaine are
not pleasant and harmonious has
proven q dismal failure.
The President informed Demo-
cratic Senator that it was his purpose
whenever he had to appoint Demo-
crat to an office, such as one member
Of the Civil Service Commission and
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, to insist upon his being O pro-
tectionist. This decision has created
a panic among the free-trade Demo-
cratic aspiran.s, chief among whom
may be mentioned ex-Secretary of
the Treasury Thompson, who wants
to serve his country as q Civil Ser
vice Commissioner.
1t is stated at the State Department
that an understanding has been
reached with England and Germany,
whereby 1t is agreed that pending the
termination OF the coming Samoan
conference at Berlin, the three treaty
powers-England, Germany and the
United States-shall each keep only
one war vessel at Samoa,
It is stated positively in quarters
where 1t would most likely lie first
known, that Col. Duffield, OF Michi-
gan, has been selected for the place of
Solicitor General, It may be some
time, however, before the appoint
ment will be made, as the present
Solicitor General-Mr. jerks, has
been requested to remain in tie office
until the Government telephone
cases have been disposed of by the
Supreme Court.
The President has been thinking Of
taking d short vacation in order to
get some much needed rest but he
has finally decided not to leave Wash
ington until tie 2stl instant, when
he goes to New York to take part in

both houses. The purpose of this
company is to construct an inter-
oceanic loek-canal by way of Lake
Nicaragua. The total distance from
ocean to ocean by the proposed route
is nearly one hundred aud seventy
miles, and of this there are fifty-six
and half miles by lake, and eighty
four and half by river and basin

canal is reduced to about twenty
nine miles. The outlet of the lake to
be utilized is tho San Juan River
which is ct present navigable through
out its length, and would require but
little deepening for the purpose in
tended.
The elevation is somewhat great.

posed canal will have six locks,
