90 FISHES TAlkf
Here II Testimony From . Man wAo
Thinks They Du.

Here II Testimony From . MAJ Who
Thinks They Do
We have heard Of the language Of
monkeys, and Of the language Of hens,
and Of the language Of crows. and even
Of ants. but it will be new idea to
most people. probably. that fishes have
q language Of their own. An English
fisherman. Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way Of communicating notion Of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr.. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds Of Mr.. Andrew. at
Guilford. England. Those ponds are full
Of trout. which. at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them, were SO little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight-a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One Of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook.
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after q
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth.
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal Of one Of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
II. Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish. released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means Of making
the others understand the perils Of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called Language. "-Fortnightly Re-

THE eANNook INDIAN AFFAIR


tn. Heasr Of II. esv.r...as Appears
10 Ne 1t stake.
The dificulty 10 that these Indians
have certain rights to hunt which are
supposed to conflict with the state
laws These rights are granted or de-
fined under a treaty between the tribe
and the United States, and Governor
Richards. Of Wyoming. believes that in
conflict between the law Of q state
and treaty made by the United
States. within the territorial juirsdic-
tion Of the state, the treaty must give
way. This may bs ~ Still the
United States government is granted
by the constitution the right to make
treaties with the Indian tribes, and
the tribes are under the protection Of
the general government. II treaty is
made with tribe dwelling within n
territory. do the laws Of the territory
or does the treaty prevail? II. after
such treaty is made, the territory be-
comes a state. does or does not tho
state succeed to the obligations Of the
United States?
These are serious questions which
the settlers in OF about Jackson's Hole
answered by shooting Indians who
were trying to escape from what they
supposed was illegal arrest. We hope
it is true that the troops will remain
long enough in the vicinity of the
crime to see that substantial justice is
done. IL may be that the Indians
committed an otfense against the laws
Of Wyoming. 1t may be that they
were within the law by depending
upon rights which they supposed had
been granted to them by the United
States. In whatever way this issue
may be settled, there was no excuse
for shooting the Indians, for, as one Of
the victims Of the slaughter was a
child. il is clear that the Indians were
not contemplating a murderous attack.
The whites. then, seem to have been
guilty Of the gravest crime, no matter
what may be the Judgment against the
Indians.
1t is a case in which the honor of
the government appears to be at stake.
although no government official stirred
up the Indians. We have few In
dams who are hostilely inclined. and
we ought to be able for once to do ex-
act and thorough Justice. Indeed, we
ought at least to be- able to follow out
the law as it is laid down by Justice
Matthews, speaking for the supreme
court in 1886, in the case Of the Choc-
taw Nation VS.. the United States.
This is the principle that the court laid
down-a principal to which. to our
shame be it said, We have paid little
heed: 1.-The relations between the
United States and the different tribes
being those Of superior toward in
feriors who are under its care and con-
troll, its acts touching them and its
promises to them in the execution Of
its own policy. and il the furtherance
of its own interests, are to be inter
preted as justice and reason demand
III all cases where power is exerted by
strong over those to whom are due its
care and protection. The inequality
between the parties, is TO be made good
by the superior justice which looks
only to the substance Of the right.
IL this rule is followed. the Indian
slayers at Jackson's Hole may not fare
very well.

Kite-hying, which used 10 be done
for fun. has arisen to the dignity Of a
scientific experiment. Two sets Of such
experiments are now in progress-one
under the direction Of the weather
bureau at Washington. and the other at
Blue Hill. near Boston, conducted by
w. A. Eddy. Of New Jersey. Not
only do the experimenters send the
kites up several thousand feet, but
they send up cameras with them, and
get pictures OF the landscape from that
altitude. The ostensible purpose OF
the scientific kite-Hying is to find out
as much as possible about the atmos-
phere and its currents, barometric
curves, temperature, and other inRre-
dients; but no doubt it Is Just "A good

Some Of the advocates OF viaduct TO
connect Church and shockoe Hills are 80
incorporating In their purpose that
they stand ready to oppose the granting
OF a franchise TO a surface road. TINS
is not the right spirit. We should very
much dixie 70 see a vladuct built, but II
That be not possible at this time we see
no reason why surface-cars SHOULD not
be allowed 20 run along Broad street
from the extreme eastern to the extreme
western limit OF the city. II we can't get
a whole loaf there is no sense In refusing
a half loaf! TO do so would be TO sno"
that we do not really hunger after a
connection between Church and Shockoe
Hills.
The underground trolley company now
seeking this franchise were willing 10
undertake TO build a viaduct ana con-
struct their road upon II. bat this priVi-
lege was refused them by the Com
mittee on Streets and the Common ColIn-
ell. SO It is not their fault that they
were not required or permitted to build
viaduct. Even now they are not op-
posing the idea OF the viaduct. but they DO
ask that the Board OF Aldermen VIII not
cumber the ordinance with provision Tor
a viaduct.
That the viaduct scheme has failed In the
City Council Is attributable TO the oppo-
sitlon to II which comes from certain
Of the downtown representatives.
Uptown people would be glad enough TO
see the vladuct built, but 1t Is suoJect
upon which all of our down town trlehos
cannot agree. Then why defeat the sur
face road, and lose the surface road ana
vladuct both? Such course, 1t seems
TO us, would be foolish in the extreme
There ought to have been an electric
road on Broad street years and years
ago. Now one may be had IL the Board
OF Aldermen will but concur In the action
OF the Common Council. III the Board
should refuse to do this we shall have
neither the surface road nor the vladuct.
What folly then would II be to reject the
opportunity before us!
The requirement Of the Common Coun-
Gil is that the company seeking the
franchise for a surface road shall make
guarantee deposit in the sum or S6o'Vp
which is believed to be large enough to
indemnify the city for any loss that 1t
may suffer in the event Of the companys
failure TO fulfil the conditions imposed
upon It by the ordinance which has passed
the Common Council.
Broad-street property-owners and re-
tailers should feel n deep interest In this
matter. They will, no doubt, watch with
great concern the action Of the Board
of Aldermen.

Food AduItcrnfiOn.

The matter OF the adulteration OF foo0
products and beverages is again attract
ing considerable attention in New York,
having, it seems, been stirred up by
the importers Of that city. According TO
these merchants the adulteration trick is
more extensively practiced al present than
ever before. The principal complaint Of
the importers however. seems to be IN
regard TO the adulteration Of and fraud
INDUCED in respecting wines and olive-oil.
The New York Journal OF Commerce says
several merchants, when questioned about
the alleged adulteration of ohve-oll and
wines, stated that it was not because
these limitations were harmful or not
good that they e agitating the subject,
but primarily because the goods are sold
for what they are not, and are the cause
OF meritorious articles being pushed aside
on account Of Misrepresentation and one
sided competition. one importer also said:
"Ouve-oil. like every other food product,
should be IN a pure state 10 DO anybody
any good, but since the more general U.S.
Of cottonseed-oil many of the fancy-ia-
bellcd and bottled goods represented 10

qualities, hut otherwise 1t may be a very
useful household article. l have no fault

Certainly the honest merchant, as well
as the public ought TO be protected
against these fraudulent methods Of doing
business, even if all adulterated food pro-
ducts and beverages were harmless. But
We know that such Is not the case. While
cottonseed-oil is unquestionably innocent
is indeed healthy-and the average Of
adulterated wine may not contain any
thing deleterious. there are on the mar
ket many adulterated food preparations.
