dRE JOHSTERS FTSHY

Can Holsters be described as fish ? That is
the question which at the present moment Is
creating a certain amount Of bad feeling be-
tween France and Great Britain. Tho French
are entitled by a number Of successive treaties
10 the right Of catching fish off the northern
coast of Newfoundland and to the privilege Of
drying it and of preserving if for market on
the stretch Of shore extending from Cane Bona
vista to Point Richie. Ia recent years, how
ever. cod has become relatively scarce along
the coast of the island and accordingly a num-
Der Of the French fishermen have devoted their
attention to catching Holsters instead. This
they are fully entitled 10 do under the terms
Of the treaties which authorize them to fish, "
without specifying any particular dcnizcn Of
the sea. The English. however, contend that
the French treaty privileges are confined 70
the fishing for cod. on the ground that, although
no special mention Of cod-fshing was made
in the treaties, yet that it was the only industry
in operation on the Newfoundland coast at the
time when the international agreements were
signed.
Until now tho disputes in connection with
this stormbeaten little colony have been based
ON the entirely untenablc claim of the New
foundanders to possess rights of catching fish
within the boundaries of the French reserva-
ton The British Government was however,
forced to admit that these prctenslonS were
without foundation, since by the Treaty OF Yer
Salles King George guaranteed the French
fishermen from any interference or even com
petition within their treaty limits on the part
of his subjects. The Governor OF the island
therefore received instructions from home to
secure to the French the exclusive possession
and enjoyment of their sea and shore reserva-
tons.
This attitude on the part of the Crown has
deeply exasperated the people of Newfoundland
against the Imperial Government which they
accuse of sacrificing all their best interests TO
France. Jealous of the increasing prosperity
of the French fishing industry on the north
coast, they declare that England has abandoned

THE PROSPECT foR BILAor REFORM

THE PROSPECT FOR U1LLOI REFORM.
It has generally been believed that if n
Ballot Reform bill containing 4 provision for
an exclusive Official ballot should be sent 20
the Governor TIN, year he would veto y. Not
because that sort of a ballot Ia, not given I'M
qualified satisfaction wherever il h9, been tried
for it has; but simply because the Governor
has taken frequent occasion to express uncom-
promising hostility 10 It, In his discussion OF
he reform in his messages TO the Legislature
he has invariably insisted that unofficial as
VOL as official ballots should he provided for
the electors and he based his veto OF the Sax
ton bills Of 1ssS-'S9 largely on the ground
that they prohibited the use of the unofficial
sort.
Still he may have changed his mind Don't
be consistent but bc simply true" is a good
motto-pcrhaps the Governor may have deter
mined to show his respect for il by withdraw
ing his opposition to the exclusive official bal
lot. Judge Denis O'Ericn, The newly elected
Judge Of the Court OF Appeals in a letter which
he recently wrote on ballot reform made thi,
exceedingly interesting statement: - Nor do
! believe that Governor HILL though DOUBTLESS,
opposed 10 the idea of compelling citizen 10
express his will AZ elections only through bal
lot furnished him b. an officer Of the Govern
mcnt, would insist upon this point when the
Legislature proceeds 10 make bill reasonable
and just in all other respects" The Judge is
known TO be close 10 the Governor, 50 that
what he has 10 say on this head necessarily
carries weight. II is pretty safe 10 affirm that
if the Governor yields the point in question II
will be comparatively easy to get the Saxton
bill upon the statute book. TO be sure it con-
tains some other provisions 10 which the Gov
crnor is opposed and fails 70 contain two or
three which he regards as important But Jet
him only assent to the sensible proposition that
only the State shall furnish ballots and doubt
less he will find that tho other differences will
he readily adjusted. The friends of the Sax
ton bill are quite willing to amend and revise
it. provided that by 50 doing they can secure
its success. They are not afflicted with pride
Of opinion, neither have they any TX TO grind.
Their sole aim is 70 serve all the people by i'm
proving an electoral system where experience
has shown it TO be- lamcntaby weak.
No one ever accused Governor Hill Of being
a rcfOrmer But it would not be strange if it
occurred TO him. as an adrOit leader, that he
| could not afford 10 cmharraSS the Democracy
Of this State by aTayng it against great non
partisan reform. il is 10 be hoped that he has

TIE LANDING or TMMTGRANTS.

The yeXed question Of the landing of immi-
grants al this port seems TO be in fair way Of
prompt and satisfactory solution. 1t has been
fully decided that no additional legislation is re-
quircd to enable the Treasury Department to
assume direct and complete control of the whole
matter in this city. The only point. there
fore now at issue is simply one as to the plan
of carrying on the work. Shall it be done by
the Collector, or by commission especially
appointed for the purpose, who shall have en-
tire charge of the whole immigration business {?
Secretary Window, it is reported, after care
full consideration of the subject is inclined to
the belief that it will be better to make the
immigration bureau entirely separate and dis
tinct from the custom service and to place it
in charge OF commission who shall be directly
responsible to the Secretary of the Treasury.
This is sound conclusion, and will, we are

sure, meet with general approval The de-
partment of immigration is far too important
to be made an annex to the Custom House, and
Collector Erhardt has enough to do now with
out having this additional labor and response
bility thrust upon him. separate bureau,
economically administered and directly re-
sponsible to Washington, would do away with
the scandals and abuses of the past, and prove
of vast benefit, not only to Sle immigrants
themselves, but to the country at large.

The Prime Minister Of italy has authorized the
use Of his name in connection with an Italian
brand of cigars. In King Humberts dominions
the Government possess the monopoly of tobacco
and as natural consequence the National cigars
are exceedingly vile. Notwithstanding the fact
that they have a straw running through them
from end to end, they require TO be held in the
fame of candle for at least five minutes before
they show any disposition to light or draw. In
fact most candesticl1s in Italy provided with
an apparatus designed TO hold the cigar in the
flame This reluctance Of the cigar 10 take fire
invariably exasperates the smoker. and causes
him to indulge in bad language with which, hence
forth, the name of the Prime Minister will in
evitably be associated. Moreover, the flavor of
the weed is such that it is bound to increase the
smokers resentment against the unfortunate
Crspi."

Mr.. Flower undoubtedly has reason and

the House should first decide that a Worlds
Fair shall be held, and then consider the ques-
ton where to hold it, That is the logical and
proper order There is scarcely a doubt as to
the decision on the first branch OF the inquiry,
but that ought to be disposed of before taking
up the other. Meantime the bill prepared by
the local Committee on Legislation for the Fair
has been perfected and will be sent TO Albany
to-day. II the opinion of lawyers like Mr. De-
pew, Mr. Root and Mr.. Bowers is convincing,
there can he no question as to the constitu-
tionality of the proposed legislation and the
prompt passage of the bill will be urged upon
the Legislature. As its enactment will have an
influential effect on the action of the National
legislators, the importance of avoiding delay
in the matter at Albany is evident

costs the public cents. They show that at this
