Already the charge Of plagiarism has
been brought against Sir Richard Wal
lace, the supposed author of San Eng
lishman in Paris" one of the most inter-

that all the anecdotes about Rachel,

ago in the New York World, are taken
bodily from Arsene Houssaye's sketch of
the actresses life.
Some of the parliamentary contests in
the recent elections in England turned on
very insignificant incidents. This was
particularly the case in the defeat of
Captain Penton, which was brought
about by a child which unluckily fell
beneath passing carriage and received
slight Injuries. The carriage belonged to
a lady who was conveying three voters to
the polls, and who, on seeing the acct
dent, took the youngster upon the seat
and drove to a neighboring hospital. 1t
was then late in the afternoon, and by
the time the carriage reached the polls
they had closed. So close was the voting
that these three ballots would have made

NET MENDlNG.
Hew 1t is Done by the Fishermen on the
Maine Coast.
Barnet Phillips, in Harper's Weekly

Barnet Phillips, in Harper's Weekly.l
You might figure great deal over Mr..
Burns's sketch, ''Net-mending off the
Maine Coast" Maine excels all other
New England States in the quantity and
excellence Of her fish preparations. She
cures herrings, she cans them, utilizing
many other varieties of fish caught along
her shores, and she is making nets every
day, setting them, hauling them and tear
ing them. Run over some totals like
these, of a yearly catch in Maine, 26, 1885,
067 pounds of herring, with 1,045,000
pounds of smelts, with II, 000,0 900 pounds
of menhaden, not counting other fish,
and then the value of nets can be appre-
ciated, which, whether as seines, gill
nets, fyke, or trap nets cost the Maine
fishermen some S4s0,0O0 year.
A gill-net, used for herrings, is big
apparatus, and may be 20 fathoms long
by deep, and with mesh varying from
p to q of an inch. The net has to be a
strong one, for at certain seasons when
fish are abundant, if the net is not prop
erly made and of the best material, from
the weight of the catch it will be ruined.
Besides the fish which may add their
weight to the net, the seine carries floats
and lead, or stone killicks. Tides are
strong along the Maine coast, and then
there are thresher sharks and dog-fish,
with other marine creatures, which seem
to take perverse pleasure in gashing nets.
No sooner does the smack land after
her trip than at once an overhauling of
the net takes place. 1t is brought ashore,
stretched on the beach, and the skipper,
if he is a careful man, will walk over
every foot of it, and at a glance detect
not alone the holes which are plainly
visible, but the places where a rupture
looks possible. The hauling-ropes are
inspected. They will chafe; for the skip
per knows how he has seen load of sill
yer fish almost raised out of the water,
when the hauling-rope parted, and all
his labor was lost i

Under the guidance of the opinion of
judges of the Supreme Court the Michi-
gan legislature has succeeded in making
an apportionment which is SO fair as to
win the commentator of both parties.
In the long run it will be found that such
apportionment is more profitable to the
party that makes it than the gerryman-
der. which, though it sometimes secures
to party atemporary advantage, always
leaves behind it a feeling of indignation
in the community, which sooner or later
resenGs the legislatures unfairness. In
the long run tricks in politics do not pay
any better than tricks in business.

party is denied by the Judge himself,
who ought to be good authority. The
story implied such lack of apprecia-
ton on the part of the judge of the fit
ness of things that it could only be cred
tied on the assumption that his powers
were on the wane and that he had ceased
to be able to discriminate between what
is decorum for judge and what is not.
His reputation has suffered a good deal
already by reason of his coquetry with
the cranks who are at the head of the
Peoples party. To actively identify
himself with that party would certainly
destroy what there was left of it.

The attempt to connect the Jefferson
Borden mutineers with the Fall River
tragedy was very short lived. The mo-
tive assigned was revenge because Mr..
l;crtlen and his wife, who, the story said,
v~,c on board the Jefferson Borden,
;, he principal testimony which con-
weed the mutineers. But it was easily
shown that neither M Borden nor his
wife was on board HE vessel and that
neither of them gave any testimony.
Furthermore it is shown that the mu-
tineers who were suspected of numbering
Borden are shut under lock and key in
the Maine state prison, and therefore
could very easily prove an alibi.

declares that there are many articles

The Argus says it is a fact of history
that the business of sheep raising in this
country has prospered far more under a
low tariff than under high tariff. We
suppose the Argus uses the term sheep
raising as synonymous with wool grow
ing, as the production of wool was the
question under discussion. Now let us
see what history shows on that subject.
In 1910 the total production of wool in
this country was 35,S02, ia pounds, or
2.5 pounds per capita. In 1850 it was 81
5000 or 81 pounds per capita In 1850
it was 60,264.913 pounds or 1.7pounds
per capita. These were decades of low
tariff, and in these decades the produc-
ton of wool per capita actually de-
creased from rs pounds to IL pounds.
In 1867 high protective duty was placed
upon wool. Two years later the total
product had risen to 162,0o0,0o0 pounds,
OF Az pounds per capita. In 1874 it had
risen to 1s1, 900, 600 pounds, pursuing the
same per capita rate. In 1879 it was
232, 100000 pounds, or 4.3 pounds per
capita. In 1880 it was 100000 or 4.6
per capita. In 1882 it was 300, 1000, 900 or
81 pounds per capita. In 1884 the total
had risen to 3OS,0oO,000 pounds and
the per capita production to "a pounds.
In twenty years under low tariff the
per capita production decreased eight
tentls of pound while in seventeen
years of protection it increased IL
pounds. In the face of these figures the
Argus declares that sheep raising has
prospered most under a low tariff. But
if the duty, as the Argus alleges, is real
ly burden upon the sheep raiser and
tends to check the business what did
Candidate Ingraham mean when in his
speech at Brunswick he said what do
the millionaire wool growers of Ohio
care when New England has to pay so
per cent on wool as long as their own
interests are protected?" If sheep rails
ing prospers better under low tariff
why should the Ohio sheep raisers want
high tariff?
