Politics AND FIsH.-ln connection with
the present investigation of the United
States Fish Commission by Congress, there
are three points which must not be over
looked nor robbed of their true weight.
First, the investigation has been entered
upon for the purpose of providing an ex-
cuse for making the bureau political de-
partment. Second, this transfer is asked
for wholly in the interest of politics.
Third, politics will ruin the Fish Commits.
sion.
When the place.seekers and the patron
age mopgers shall attain their ends, and
the Commission be given over into the
hands of politicians, to be run on the same
principles as those on which the other de.
partments of the Government are conduct
ed, its usefulness will be destroyed. In
the present investigation, the real question
at issue is not whether the Commissions
affairs are conducted in the most economi-
cal manner possible; it is whether the Com
mission can be captured by the politicians
for what there is in it. And their eager
ness to gst hold of the bureau is to be &C.
counted for wholly by their belief that it
has tremendous opportunities for them and
economic fish culture cannot go hand in
hand.-F'orest and Stream.
Colonel Marshall Mcdonald of Virginia
is the commissioner, and was appointed by
President Cleveland. He is democrat,
but his political opinions have no part in
the administration Of bis. Office. He is a
thoroughly equipped man for the position
he fills, and not the least real or reasonable
objection can be brought against him.
Forest and Stream gives the explanation of
the desire for his removal from Office.

gives good counsel.
To the Editor efthe Dispatch:

TO Tie Il dtlOT OF t7le DlSpdtcb:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-My ad-
vice to the South is keep cool and quiet.
The people North and South are opposed
to the Davenport force bill. which menaces
all business interests and Republican insti-
tutions.
1t is the mark of desperation and the con-
fesson of failure of radical partisans. Con-
sentative men everywhere will down it as
fast as they understand it.
The House was gagged before it passed,
and it seeks to gag the country.
Boycotting proposals are unwise and
hurtful.
An exposure of its provisions, ana ap.
peals to justice, interest, and common
sense are our policy.

SEA CORRESPONDENCE Morgan

committee, in speaking of the Behring Sea

tired from these negotiations. He has gone
to the extreme point. He has called Lord
Salisbury liar by implication several
times. do not see how they can negotiate
any moro together. Blaine's natural move
is to leave the Cabinet aud enter the field

1.-THE FULLNEss OF TIME. The evening
republican organ in New York (republican-
ism of lurid character) says
The fulness of time has come for the as
sertion of the majority rule, for the enforce
ment of the constitution and for the protec-
sion of the suffrage in every portion of the
land.
The fulness of time has come for North
ern people to mind their own business; to
apply themselves with diligence to the work
set apart for them by Providence; to look
into and remedy domestic evils; to put an
eud to municipal governm emit by ignorance
and rascali5y, as is seen in SO many of our
large cities, more especially in the city of
New York; to remove the burden of the
war taxes and suppress the pandemonium
of jobbery which is called pension legisls-

There is more catarrh in this sectic1 of
the country than all other diseases pts
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incarable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, aud prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney s Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses of from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces Of the system. They offer one hum
bred dollars for any case it fails to cure.
