Next Saturday Is Flag Day.

The cbairmen Of the national Commit
tees Of the two great political parties have
designated Saturday, October 81, as nag
day.
Chairman Hanna first ma 10 the announce
ment, because his party represents national
honor and national prosperity.
Chairman Jones thought "a general uis-
play Of the American nag might awaken
patriotic thoughts and injure the ci'ahces
"f the silvcrite party, and he, too issued
an order designating the same daS as
debasrd money flag day.
Ordinarily both these orders migh TOE re-
gardcd as political schemes 10 create
votes: bu, in "a campaign like the present
one they must be looked upon as demon
strations of patriotic sentiment.

rONE unique feature Of the Scotch
~ fisheries said Joseph Johnston,
VITO owns one of the largest fish
curing plants in MoDtrose, Scotland, at
the Arlington, lis the fact that for the most
part they are owned by the crown.
AT frs the Gro wn laid claim to the whole
of the fisheries, but in the course Of time
proprietary rights in the waters which
touched their lands Were sold to the owners
of a few Of the estates which border on the
sea.
"An of the rest, however, is still owned
by the crown, and is let by contract to the
large fishing firms such as my own, who.
in turn, sublet their rights to the individual
fisherman. ANY man fishing off the coast
without the grant from a proprietor is
liable to arrest and fine by tie ggecEss
officers.
1T has got so, however, that the pa yncnt
for the right to catch fish is almost normal,
while the yield is so rich that the fisherman
can Well afford to pay it.
THE principal fish caught are herring
and salmon. The catching of the latter
has been prof ;able only for the last ten
years, since there have been given TO that
part of the country facilities for shipping
the catch to different parts of England AMI
the continent.
"The salmon caught in Scotland are not
so plentiful nor as finely favored as those
Of America, but they find a ready sale TO
the dainty eaters of the old world.
None are canned, and very few are eaten
in Scotland, but nearly tie whole of the
catch is shipped fresh to the larger cities
of England, France and Germany"

be a large decrease
from the amount col
lected during the fiscal year ended June 80
1885; on the other hand, the assessor points
out that License tax should be eNacted from
"A number of business enterprises and other
objects !egtimately subject thereto, but
which now are exempt, either through de
clsion OF the courts or the failure of Con
gress to take cogniZance OF the same. AS
SCISSOR Trmble says ,Aat "ti,e omission OF
various branches of business from taxation
under present law and the elimination of
others through adverse decisions by the
courts have resulted in spirit of unrest
of those in business who are Iaw-abGing,
Ol
which ought not to exist A number of
branches of business, specified by the As
SCISSOR, were subject to License prior 10 1874,
but in the transition from municipal to ter
ritorial legislation were exempted from this
class of taxation.
IL is hardly worth the while to consider
in this connection he contention which has
been heard now and then, that license taxes
should bea roliShed altogether. One thing is
certain: so long as they are assessed they
should be distributed equi;ably and each
business undertaking made To bear its Part
Of the general burden. 1t is probable, Of
course, that the decrease in the amount of
the license fees collected is due TO the de-
preston Of business which has prevailed
for some time, but the total could he largely
added to by following Assessor Trimhlc's
recommendation and impose n license tax
upon business Of every kind. Not only
Would there be then no Unfair diScrimina-
tion, but a considerable sum would annually
