the highway several times nearly OBJ
liberated. OF course the road was very
difficult and we were very glad to arrive
at the quaint old city of Sorel Cnfortu-
nately we did not know the hotels and
though choosing the largest it proved
the poorest on our trip.
There is quite park at Sorel, a good
many stores that seemed to be well filled
with goods, a market, and quite a good
many prettily kept houses, from which
the music of the pianos, or the voices of
inmates, arose. Back of our hotel the
Richelieu River entered the st. Law
renee. \ number of boats were about.
IT was to me curious place this juncture
of these two rivers. The one carries to
the ocean the waters of the five largest
lakes on earth. The other comes almost
as straight as an arrow from our own
Lake Champlain. 1t seems curious
thing to those who are accustomed to see
rivers run to the south, to see one boldly
strike for the north, but the waters that
we know best in Vermont come this
way,-those that flow by our doors at
Middleburv and those at Ripton.
We droye from SOrel some little dis
lance down the river where the barns
are raised up on piers to protect them
against spring freshets. Big posts are
SCI, TOO, to break the ice. For here the
banks of the st. Lawrence are lower, and
i'll the spring, its current being INSTRUCTED
" The ice. which thaWS quicker at its
source than at its mouth, there is an an
nual overflow.
Chartering a row-boat we rowed on to
neighbOring island. This is one of a
number of such that we saw, partly
owned in commons. 1t was very fertile
and on a part of it large numbers of cat
tie and horses were pasturing. Where
they are fed thus in commons each owner
brands his stock. At this island was an
Englishman camping in small wooden
hut that he had built, which was well
filled with supplies. Dressed in camping
costume he was engaged in broilng some
chops for dinner. He treated Us with
marked courtesy, that included drink of
whiskey, and cordial invitation to dinner.
He evidently, as do all Englishmen,
thought well of the Americans, but his
admiration of the French was limited.
We understood he is quite success full
hunter and have no doubt a brave man.
\ beautiful little boat that he owned was
riding the water in marked contrast with
the French craft about. Quite recently
whilst out fishing in this boat. late at
night, he perceived house on fire. and
succeeded in reaching it in time to arouse
the inmates and save all the family but
one little girl, who persisted in the flames.
This family we saw on our way back to
oorel. being referred to them for inform
alton that we wanted. Physically they
were especially well-formed family,
the father handsome, the mother we'll
looking, and the two young ladies looking
as if they were abundantly able to make
their way in the world, although they
came so near peri>hing in the flames.
The place that was burnt was OF the bet
ter class of French houses with quite
handsome grounds.

FREE BAIT IN NEWFOUNDLAND.

In its extraordinary act of favor TO the fisher
men of America the Newfoundland Govern
ment has given us the largest proof 1t can Oh
its desire to come into closer relations with the
Union. IL has also given England the largest
possible proof that it bitterly nsents her refusal
TO ratify the Bond Treaty, and that it will not
accent confederation with Canada In fact, OF
the many notable demonstrations made by the
Observation-Disclosures to show their DISSATISFACTION
with existing conditions this is the most signlh-
can't and probably the most powerful. Nature,
in arranging her gifts along the shores OF the
upper Atlantic, placed the control OF the bait
fishes in the hands OF Newfoundland. Without
these bait fshes--caplin, squid and herring-the
codfshery, wherever conducted, is useless. Can
ada's supply of bait is limited and untrust-
worthy. The market at Halifax, if it could not
he replenishcd by the Newfoundland stock,
would scarcely ever be equal to more than the
Canadian demand. This one fact proves how
insufficient a compensation for the removal OF
our duty on fish would be the concession by
Canada OF the liberty to buy bait at Halifax.
Halifax has no surplus of bait to sell except by
the grace of the Newfoundland Government, and
that is a grace which won't bear too hard a
strain.
1t was strained enough during the first year
of the Bayard- Chamberlain modus vivend This
was an arrangement, it will be remembered. by
which American fishermen were compelled to
pay q season-license fee of $50 or more for
the privilege of purchasing bait in British ports.
Newfoundland, much against her will, was per-
suadcd by England to come into this deal, and
the result was that the Americans for reasons
of convenience took out their licenses at Halifax
and did their trading at 81. Johns. Canada, in
other words, got all the money and Newfound-
land supplied all the bait. Naturally enough,
when the season was ended the Government at
st. Johns was vexed. 1t considered that Eng
land had used its resources to fiji the treasury
of Canada, and when the season Of 1890 came
around il declined to renew the modus. In

stead il carried through the Colonial Legislature
a Bait Act of its own even more exacting thaii
the terms of the modus, and ii is under TINS
act, which the Government is empowered 10 ap-
ply in its own discretion that our fishermen
are TO be permitted to purchase bait freely THIS
year, while the French and Canadians are to be
heavily taxed.
The angry outcry with which this decision
has been greeted by the Canadian newspapers
and the sharp denunciation of it fled by Sir
John Macdonald with Lord Knutsford comment
curousN upon the motives, acts and statements
of the Tory leaders in Canada concerning their
so-caIled reciprocity programme with this coun-
try. One of the planks in the Tory platform
as set forth by Sir Johns decree OF dissolution
provided for the free admission into the United
States of Canadian fishery products in return
for the privilege of purchasing bait freely in
Canada. and Sir Charles Upper, in one OF his
boisterous campaign harangues, declared that
Canada had more to give us in this respect than
Newfoundland. Then why should Canada grieve
at being denied free entry at st. Johns? IL
she has all the bait she wants she can't be hurt
by somebody's refusal to sell her more Inc
fact is as her present agitation attests, that she
really has nothing whatever 10 give us III d
fishery arrangement unless she first gets 1T from
Newfoundland, and having been so long en-
ploying that colony to her advantage ana us
hurt, she has gradually come to think OF IL as
her property and she now resents as GENIAL OF
her rights what is only the conservation OF It's
own. For, ~ the decision just reached IN New
fourdand not only are the bonds OF sympathy
and commercial intercourse between her people
and ours materially strengthened, but she as
sures to her bait fishermen the whole American
trade thereby more than compensating them for
the loss of the French trade, from which the
Bait Act and public policy cut them OIL Inc
business they get from our fishermen will supply
them with the money to hold out against French
demands, and bring to the support OF the colony
in its great conflict the only class OF Its people
who have hitherto lacked zeal-'the balt-hsheS
of the southern outports.
