FISHERMEN. HAD BAD LUCK AND
sHAD WEIRD BOUGHT FROM
JERSEY.
The ghad fishaImen did not do as
wSl yesterday as they have BEEN do
ing. They brought I'm from 100 to 200
fish to the boat. THE fish merchants
had to CROSS to Jersey and buy fish to
FIJI their lrders. J. II. King shipped
$500 shad to New York. iver half of
which were brought over from New
jersey fishermen. The Fl,5hanmen's
Protective Association shipped $500 of
the finny tribe to Gates & Noyes, New
York. They were selling from So to
Sl2 per hunldred ON the wharf.
Cine of THE Sights III the wharf is to
see James Williams cOlOred, cleaning
the fin. With a boy to scale them, he
can claan about 100 In an hour. With
ONE slash Of abe knife he cuts THEM
open. and With another off comes their
heade, and uhny ere ready to be cook
ed He is an expert in his lime.
The men are very careful i'm ih1ndling
the fish, but some time the fins Will
catch amid cut Them r~' n handling
them the slime gets init .-.l c!t, eau,
ing blood poisoning. Among those
who have their hands tied up from
this source are Charles Minnow, Bar
nay Fitzgerald, Malhlon Rogers, Peter
Rementer and John Webb.
Quite a funny incidslEt occurred ON
Monday. A fish Slipped cut OF THE
basket while being taken from the boat
to the wharf and fe, overheard close
q the wharf 1t could be seen on the
bottom, so Edward johnson. boy
about IA years old, attempted 10 search
around and get 1T. The hand he was
holding en- TO the wharf Slipped and
he went down. When he came up he
had the fish. though. What bic said
when lhe came up was a great deai FUN
nier than the act.

THE CHURCH MILITANT.

The Church very gradually takes its
true position as a mora, force. II be-
gins TO dare to attack the acts of men,
instead of their conscierces which can
not be reached by laws. The railroad
swindler looks on with contentment.
while the pulpit fires into the sand
bank of his conscience. When the
Church picks out single and con-
spicuous act Of wiCkedness, and Centers
its fire on that, and Is supported by the
enfilading fire of other Churches. and
the fire IS Coaseless, then the wicked
act crumbles in ruins, and the author q
II mendS his ways. Satan, in his con-
iidential moments, admits that he has
no sp"" al use for the Church militant
that makes bulls eyes, instead of firing
over the heads of the enemy.
Recently, in the city of New York
some railway people, backed by the
Tammany power, undertook to OCCUPY
Amsterdam avenue, one of the most at
tractive avenues in the city, with troll
ley tracks, to the great injury of the re-
sidenc's and the Churches. DR.. Peters
of St. Michaers Church, resolved 10
prevent this injury. Those who re-
sided in premises adjoining the avenue
needed leader who was able and will
ing to organize their scattered forces
into a solid and marching front. DR..
Peters did 1t thoroughly and well. lie
regarded the Churches as the true re-
servoirs Of aggressive power. The
Churches responded to his call. Father
Gallican of the Roman Catholic Church,
declared that the combating of evil
is as much part OF religion as the
encouragement of goodness" The pas
tors OF other Churches took similar
radical view, and said it was dangerous
doctrine to preach from the pulpit. 1t
was purely heresy, and against all ira
ditiOns. Some of the members OF these
belligerent Churches, were interested in
promoting these injurious things. They
agreed that Satan was not far out of
the way" and that their business in
terests ought to be protected rather
than destroyed. Then the Churches put
up money for n fight in the courts.
This, Satan again said corfidentially,
was only making the Churches worldly
affairs. Il was not fair fight, and the
Churches would go to the dogs, II they
kept on. He believed it was better to
send money to Africa, for the CONVEX
sion of the heather, instead Of using 1t
to disturb business interests.
But Dr.. Peters and the other pastors
believed that the throwing of the stones
OF an injunction at the grasping capt.
talis;s did more good than pelting them
with the grass of exhortation. The in
junction, instigated by the Churches
knocked down the capitalists and kept
them down. The confiscation OF pub
lie way was prevented Satan writes TO
the journals that II the Churches keep
on this way, he will sell out even at
a loss" and leave the country, and then
people will find out how much they owe
to him as good business adviser.

do not really realize the fact that the
Federal Constitution is a very foxy"
instrument. and its wise makers did not
commit the mistake OF filling II with
rigid rules that might become at some
period. very inconsistent. The instriI-
ment contains very precise terms in
some respects, and very general terms
in Other respects. Il happens in the mat
ter of dealing with territories only gen
eral terms are used; in fact, in the
matter Of governing them about one
line Is used in declaring that Congress
may make "needful rules and regula-
tons" for their government. That is
all that is said regarding the power
which Congress has over the present
domain Of territory covering a larger
area than France and Germany and
Austria combined.
Naturally there would be differences
Of opinion regarding the status Of ter
ritories, especially when obtained by
conquest, and the lawyers have failed
to agree about the relation Of territories
to the federal government from II"
time Of the Louisiana purchase to the
present time.
The Supreme Court has. at times. dis
cussod the territorial relations. and has
opinions which seemed to
settle finally just what they are. but
many Of these opinions. not decisions,
are not binding. because they were not
necessary to the making of a judgment.
What the federal government can do
with the territories has never been
before the court as broad question.
It has said that the constitution coy
cred the territories. but it has never
defined the power Of Congress over
them, excepting in certain instances
And so far as it has defined these rela-
tons. it has not extended the consti-

One OF the most Interesting papers on
this subject is one presented in the
Harvard Law Review by Prof. James
u. Thayer of the Harvard Law Scl5Ol.
While he is opposed to expansion he
accepts the facts Of the COnqucsts,
and the annexation OF Hawaii, and
then asks. what can We do with these
new territories? lie takes the very
brOadest views regarding the power Of
Congress to govern them; that it has
the Legal and constitutional power to
govern these islands as colonies. sub
stantally as England might govern
them" He believes that altogether
too narrow views prevail regarding the
power OF Congress in this respect. He
believes that the constitution Is AS
tonishngly well adapted for the pur-
poses OF great developing nation, and
it shows its wisdom mainly in the
shortncss and generality of its prOvls-
ions, in its silence and abstinence from
petty limitations"
