FISH INCREAsiNG IN PRIoE.


The present severe winter has pre-
vented the fishing fleets ali along the
coasts from their usual operations at this
time of the year both on the seas and on
the great lakes. The consequence is that
the I4enten season arrives with q shortage
of fish. Another result of the severe
weather is that the schools Of salt wate3
fish that run up along the Atlantic coast
at this time have delayed their spring
migratons, and have left the fisherman
without a business, In many places too
the fleets have been frozen III.
Prices in the local fish market are
quoted as follows: Shad, 50 cents e VI
apiece salmon, 10 cents pound; halibut,
Is cents pound; smets, ii cents a pound;
cat fish, two pounds for . cents; white
fish, 10 cents pound; yellow perch, 10
cents: medium rock, 25 cents spotted

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, IL 1s9S--lNr. +. 3.
Frazer, Secretary State Board Of Heath, VII
nliHgtoH, UGtdgdre--DEAR SIR: Replying to
YOUR inquiry of the 18th inst, ! would say
that we have no law of universal applica-
ton in this state ON the subject of the sale
Of milk. A bill is now pending before the
Legislature to establish, not only proper
inspection Of milk. but also an Inspection
of diaries and dairy farms. The law at
present in force for cities Of the second
and third classes fixes the standard at not
more than eighty.seven and fifty one
huudredths per oentum of watery fluids,
not less than twelve and fifty one
hundredths per centum OF milk solids.
and not less fat than three per centuul;
and the specific gravity, at sixty degrees
Fahrenheit, between one and twenty.nine
one thousandths and one and thirty-threo
one.thousandths for whole milk, and not
less than six per centum OF cream by
volume, and not less than two and five.
tenths per centlm Of fat by weight, and
the specific gravity at sixty degrees
Fahrenheit between one and thirty-two
| one-thousandths ana one ana thlfly-seVeh
one-thousandths.
will request DIR. Shakespeare, chairman
| OF orr city committee on legislation for
securing pure milk supply, to send you
4 COPY ii the bill now before the Icglsla-
ture. We find that the milk dealers
| object to it very strongly, while the
| farmers and dairy men favor it, As a
considerable amount Of milk is sent TO
| this state from New Castle county, Della
ware, il is matter Of the first Importance
| that the laws Of the two states should
| correspond as nearly as possible in their
| requirements. The great objection made
| against the bill seems to be the standard OF
twelve and fifty one-hundrcdths pei
centum OF solids. but we hear it reported
from Massachusetts that they hayeno diff

COUNTLD OUT AGAIN.

Two years ago the Senate of Ne
vada decided that the people did not
want Constitutional Convention.
In order te arrive at this oonclus>
ION it was necessary to resort to
unfair teehnicaliti, and the result
was the disfran hising of nearly
one thousand voters.
Take for instance Lyon county, it
voted almost solid for a Constl.u-
tinnal Convention, but the clerk in
reporting the returns wrote, For a
new Constitution and this resulted
In throwing out Lyon county. Other
counties were doctored IN the same
way and the result was that the Re
publican party, the party which con-
nlVed at these outrages was promptly
turned down by the voters
This is the history of the great
fraud of 1891, yet last night the
proposition to allow the people to once
more say whether or not they wanted
a new constitution VS. voted down
by the Senate and Comins of White
Pine led the fight which resulted in
the people being deprived of the
RIGHT III say wherhpr or not thew
wanted new Constitution.
The APPEAL has made the assertion
that the people did want it two years
ago and that they want the chance to
be heard again.
To deprive them of the right of a
voice in the matter is a gag law out
rage which the people Of tie State
will resent when they get a chance
to express themselves.
