THE FISHERIES. '
How Hard Times Hit the Mackerel
Men This Year.

Two Schooners Have Arrived from the
Cape Shore-Low Prices of First Ar
rivals.
Two mackerelmen have arrived from
the Cape shore with good fares. The
Us. Glover brought $50 barrels, and the
Wide Awake 275. The Lila 8. Fernald
is also ON her way home with trip.
From such indications as are at hand it
seems quite likely that the Inackerel
may be more plentiful this year than
last: but the fishermen can hardly be
said to be correspondingly happy. Usu-
ally the first mackerel bring high prices.
Last year from the fishermen they
brought S13. SO a barrel. Friday the early
mackerel in Boston brought but 81
barrel. The hard times are at the bot
tom of this fall, as the market is life
less. '-a {
There were number of arrivals of
cod. haddpck and hake yesterday. The
Robert and Carr brought 5000, Thomas
Knight 5000, and Grace Choate 5000. The
Alwilda Morse brought 1000 Holsters.

There is an interesting display in the
window of Mr.. It. Wyer, proprietor of
the restaurant in the Harpswell steam
boat waiting rooms on Portland Pier.
MI. Wyer has but recently taken posses
sion there. He was formerly in the fish
business, and became very much inter
ested in the swords of the swordfsh.
He began to spend his spare time in
carving and shaping them into various
kinds of implements and ornaments. In
the window are two splendid broad
swords about three feet long, shaped
dramatically and polished smoothly.
They are formidable weapons. The bone
is very hard and takes a good polish.
The letters of Mr.. Wyer's name are also
carved on the bone, and makes unique
sign. The swords are made of the
snout of the male swordfsh, because in
that of the female there are numerous
perforations running crosswise through
it. These are filed in life with CELIA
tinous substance. They are the channels
of nutriment supply to the snout. In
the male there are simpy two long per-
forations running lengthwise.
Besides the above there is chain, an
anchor, small harpoon, Masonic en-
blems, etc. When the GAR. held it's
national reunion here, Mr.. Wyer showed
one of the comrades from Colorado his
collection of carved swordfish shouts,
and the veteran was SO pleased with
them that Mr.. Wyer made him a present
of one Of the shouts just as it came from
the fish, and also some of his carved
pieces.
Later. Mr. Wyer received from Colorado
some beautiful moss agates from his
friend of the GAL He wears one of
them on his watch chain.

A MINK IN GLOVER.
That is, a Mink in Tank of Two Hun
bred Trout.


The tank is in West Falmouth, or rather
there are two, tanks. One is about eight
feet long by six feet wide, is built of planks
and surrounds great boiling spring down
n'the meadow. A brook runs away from
the spring. A short distance down is
another and similar tank. There were about
200 trout in those tanks, the accumulation
of three or four years, by two men who like
to go trouting and who love the pretty fish
SO much that they built the tanks to keep
them in. Some of the trout were very large
weighing over two pounds. They began to
disappear. 1t was no small boy that was
responsible, and certain signs Indicated
that it was four-footed thief. Traps were
set for the sly mink, but in vain. Finally,
after nearly all the trout had beenconfiscat-
ed, the mink was waylaid and shot.
1t was the fattest mink in three counties.

An Obligation. Not N Charity.

The movement to collect sufficient money
to enable the indianapolis Light Artillery
to own it's armory should be crowned with
success. Because of the persistence of the
officers and men of the battery il is one
of the oldest military organizations out
side of the larger cities, and has a repu-
tation for first-class membership. discipline
and efficiency second to none. In eighteen
competitive drills the Indianapolis battery
has taken first prize in fourteen and the
second in three. No organization in the
country has made such a record The
membership of the battery includes about
a hundred of the most intelligent young
men of the city-nearly all of whom can
be found in business houses, earning for
the most part but limited compensation. To
be member of the battery costs both time
and money. Efficiency in drill demands
long and patient practice. the one reward
of which is physical development, and those
who see the members of the battery at
the armory will be convinced that such re-
ward is sure. 1t is too late to say that
strictly disciplined companies of intelligent
young men are useless. The experience is
fresh in the minds of all who believe that
orderly society is essential to the public
well-being In money II was worth hun
dreds of thousands that Indiana had thirty
companies of drilled militia In that repu-
tation which puts States in the front rank
the example of Indiana the past two months
cannot be measured by money. Most
promptly has the Indianapolis Light Artil
lery responded to every call, and most eff
GENTLY has it done the duty required of IL.
Another consideration: All cities have
lawless element which is constantly held
in check by the presence of police and other
disciplined and courageous men who can be
called on to sustain the civil authorities.
Because a hundred athletic and disciplined
young men of character have an armory
at Seventh and Mississippi streets law and
order are more firmly grounded and life and
property are safer. Such an organization
is perpetual power of repression to law
lessness. These and other considerations
should cause a prompt and generous re-
Spouse to this appeal made for the Light
Artillery and not by it. 1t is high tribute
to the manliness of the members of the
battery that they have not inspired this
movement and that the hat has never been
passed up and down the streets for its
benefit.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.


There is a great deal of very loose and
some very wild talk going on about .'com-
pulsory arbitration" as a means Of settling
controversies between labor and capital.
The Sentinel which began by indorsing the
strike and denouncing the use Of force to
suppress disorder. now says, '"rhe only
question Of Importance connected with the
strike is whether it will have the effect of
inducing the American people to adopt
compulsory arbitration law" Some people
are Of the opinion that there were other
important questions connected with the
strike. not the least Of which was whether
the American Railway Union or the United
States government was paramount, but,
passing this. the Journal remarks that the
eral times before they adopt compulsory
arbitration law, and end by not adopting
ii.
In all cases Of controversies affecting
large and complicated interests, voluntary
arbitration is eminently wise and right.
Much of the litigation of the country and
almost all controversies between
labor and capital might and
ought to be settled in that way. But
If this fact were recognized there would
be comparatively little litigation and few
labor controversies. Arbitration presup-
poses such a recognition on both sides of
the principles of equity and fairness, such
a subordination of selfishness to justice
such practical acceptance of the doctrine
of the golden rule. as would at once do
away with most of the controversies that
lead to lawsuits or strikes. When al
rights of others shall be admitted by every
person to be as sacred as his own volun-
tary arbitration will be the accepted mode
of settling all disputes, and, by the same
token. disputes themselves will be rare.
But compulsory arbitration" is an en-
trely different thing. Perhaps it would
be more accurate to say there is not and
cannot be such a thing. Compulsory arbi-
tration is a misnomer, because when arbi-
tration becomes compulsory it ceases to be
arbitration. The moment you compel an
individual or a corporation to submit mat
tiers in controversy to arbitration, and give
arbitrators power to enforce their decision,
you trample upon private rights and indi-
vidual liberty, which have been too much
restricted already. Compulsory arbitration
contains the essence of tyranny. The root
to be reached by any such political quack-
cry as this

THE DEMOCRATIC DEADLOCK.

The Democrats of the Senate and House
committees of conference on the tariff bill
have been laboring nearly two weeks over
the differences or the subject which sepa-
rate them. Every day. Sunday not eX-
cepted, these Democratic statesmen of two
brands have met and tried to reach an
agreement. They are able to agree without
a dissenting voice upon the extent to which
the industries of the North should be sacri-
feed to foreign competitors. but when it
came to the Sugar Trust. the Whisky Trust
and Southern coal and iron ores. the more
they conferred the greater distance sepa-
rated them. There is said to have been some
argument by epithet. Even the much over

utilized on the conference for all that it can
be worth. but to no purpose. Tuesday. the
