WAS COMPELLED TO REHEARG FOR Death
WORK OF FISH COMMISSION.


The last year was the most successful
In the whole history of the fish om-
mission. A great Part of the work has
been in the collection and distribution
Of the eggs and fry Of commercial food
fish, says the Scientific American. TAX
ing shad for instance, by the systematic
collection OF eggs, the distribution OF
shad fry, the last annual catch was 49,
100000 or an increase of 100000 since
1885. At the same time the cost OF
sk.sd has been decreased to the con-
sumer more than 80 per cent. The value
of the catch this year is estimated at
more than sS0O,0O0O. This result has
been obtained by the efforts Of the fish
commission at an expenditure Of onS
$4,000.
The work OF the California stations
this year has been chiefly confined to
the propagation of the commercial eal-
mon and to two varieties Of the trout.
Over 100000 eggs have been distri-
buted from these stations. From the
five Oregon stations on the Columbia
river 100000 fry have been planted
in the Pacific coast streams. In the
Rocky mountain region various varie-
ties of the trout were propagated, co.
100000 fry being distributed.
In the middle section Of the United
States trout, black bass and crappie
were distributed in large numbers.
From the stations on the great lakes
where the white fish, lake trout, perch,
etc, are collected, no less than 10000
900 eggs of all kinds were taken, and
500, 100000 fry propagated. At the shad
stations on the eastern coast 300,000,0 900
shad eggs were collected and 230,000,000
fry planted.
In Massachusetts there are two of the
largest American fish culture stations
in the world; here over 300,000,000 cod
eggs were collected and from 10000
900 to 20O,OOO,OO0 fry distributed; over
1O0000O0O lobster eggs have been TAX
en-, and it is expected that 550,000,000
will be taken before the close Of the
season.

to enable these syndicators to enrich
themselves.
What have the United States to gain
by interference in China?
Do we want part OF the Chinese
empire, which II we took 1t would al
ready be vested right" a private
possession OF small group Of Ameri-
can syndcators? Can we in honesty
interfere in the sovereign Chinese state
to enforce corrupt contract which
China ought to repudiate for her own
sake? Shall we expend American
money and perhaps American blood in
obtaining for few of our private cit
liens monopoly which cannot posi-
bly, benefit the masses of our people,
since all the trade >hat results will be
In the hands Of the monopolists? Shall
we become the money to pull chestnuts
out of the fire for group Of syndica-
tors in this country and for the groap
of syndicators that controls to a great
extent the aristocratic class-govern-
ment OF England?
Is 1t not rather the truth, as Mr..
Choate said the other day, that we are
on friendly terms with all nations and
propose to remain so? Is it not mat
ter of Indifference to us what nation is
dominant in China, since, no matter
what nation it may be, we can sell the
Chinese all the goods they want, If
our goods and our prices are tie best?
The publication of it's plans and pur-
poses by the "pulse-feeling" syndicate
sweeps away the last veil before those
secret springs that have been impell-
ing the administration to draw the
American republic away from its
splendid natural destiny and to drag it
up those toilsome, blood-stained steps
of imperial tyranny to "glory-crowned
heights At last we understand the
frantic enthusiasm in certain quarters
for an "Anglo-American alliance
against the rest of the world"
The "glory-crowned heights" are at
last in full view. Upon them we see a
people sweating and toiling, paying
enormous taxes and pouring out their
blood to enrich syndicators and mon
opolists.

The evils of government by injunc-
ticn are very well illustrated by the sit
uation in Kansas City Two injunc-
lions have been issued One directs the
sheriff to stop the importation of for
eign labor during the continuance of
the present labor troubles. The second,
which comes from another court, re-
strains the sheriff from interfering in
any way with such importation. Thus
no matter what the sheriff may do in
the matter, whether he permit the i'm
portation of labor or seek to prevent it,
he will be guilty of contempt of court.

"Disperse, We rebels, dispersed" That

Johnstown, Pa.
1t has Just been decided that De-
troit cannot acquire her street rail-
ways, because there Is a clause in the
Michigan constitution which prevents
it. Reform in constitution making is
one of the radical needs of the times
Constitutions are the bulwarks of
monopoly and special privileges, in
stead of being safeguards of the peo-
pies rights. There should be nothing
in q constitution except skeleton of
the form of government and bill of
rights. The prohibitions which they
are numbered up with, are born of the
fear that the people might do some
thing they ought not to do but the
people can better be trusted than the
average constitutional convention, to
protect their own rights.-Jerry Simp-
sons Bayonet.
Gold contractionists say that gold
alone is honest money. Gold has
doubled in value during the past TWEEN
ty-five years. Therefore, if man
locked $1,000 worth OF gold in safe
twenty-five years ago it would low
purchase property which at the begin
ming of the time would have cc.n-
manded 81 900 in gold. Can money be
honest that, locked up in a safe, will
steal the property of another and
transfer it to the owner of the money?

Notice how the papers of the rich
will oppose direct legislation by the
people. If the people vote on the laws
they will read them, and the trusts
will not get any cunning law they
want by simply sugaring few Leading
members Of congress, state legislature
or city councils. See the method? II
the people rule the trusts won't and
vice versa.
Direct legislation by and for thc Dco-
pie is the slogan of coming political
contests. And the political cheats and
frauds of the old parties "for spols
only" may we'll take a hint. The peo-
pie are beginning TO understand the
situation and will checkmate them on
the quick one of these days when they
take an occasional holiday to exercise
their legislative functions.

In Carmen" with which she closed her
local engagement last night, Olga Neither
sole has her least attractive role, and
withai one of her most interesting. There
is some variation between the drama, as
presented by Miss Nethersole, and the
popular opera, but it is chiefly, If not
entirely, in matters of detail, and if the
dainty music of the opera is almost omit
ted, 1t may yet be questioned whether the
opera is more charming than the dramatic
production-which is, it must be said, in
tensely dramatic. Miss Nethersole en-
acts Carmen with a warmth of spirit, and
gowns her in a lavishness that keeps the
auditors, regardless of sex, puzzling be-
tween admiration and loathing from her
introduction to her death. The production
is beautifully staged.
