In a recent issue of the Louisville Cour-
Ter journal Mr.. Henry Watterson had one
of his most trenchant editorials addressed
to the free silver Democrats who insist
that the party must be conducted on the
lines Of the Chicago platform. Here is a
specimen paragraph:

Chicago platform because no government
could exist on any such scheme Of public
policy The civilized world is faced the

No effort is being made by any cannery TO

OF each packer to find some excuse 10
send his fishermen to some other packer
to deliver their catch.
II is understood that number OF the
packers have determined to close their
canneries until the market improves. and
are Offering their supplies for sale below

The Fishermen's Union win hold meet
ing tomorrow night to consider the ques-
ton of conceding the 4-cent price fxed by
the Packers Association some two months
ago, but IL is very certain that the pack

not. pay that price for fish now.
1t Is unlikely that there will be any repe-

as the efforts OF the packers this season
will be to avoid taking fish, rather than
to make the large packs of former years.
After a careful review Of the whole stu

So far only two of the ninety-five CHI
nese brought over by the Tacoma have
been passed. II is the custom to get COM
munication by telegraph or mail with the
men who sign the affidavits by which the
Chinese hope 10 get into the country. This
takes time, and often two weeks are re-
quired to establish q Chinese immigrants
right TO land. AS only little over TWEEN
ty-four hours remain in which TO get the
papers fixed up satisfactorily to the GUS
toms officers, II looks as IL number of
the passengers would be either forced to
return TO the Flowery kingdom on the
Tacoma and try II at some other time, or
get off at Victoria, and trust to luck to
cross the boundary line.
II all other means fall. the steamship
company can give bonds for the China
men and allow them TO remain here until
their right to enter is determined. This
has never yet been resorted to in Taco
