London, Sept 27.-The Times today
prints dispatch from Cork which says
there is much indignation among the
fishermen and exporters on the south
and west coast of ireland at the ap-
pearance of American fishing boats
(which compete unfairly with the local
men, The dispatch adds:
"A few years ago cured mackerel
were exported to the United States af-
fording renunerative employment at a
period when employment was scarcest.
The Mckinley tariff killed the trade
and the appearance this season of
American fish boats which are captur-
ing autumn mackerel in large numbers
has therefore, caused great irritation
among the local fishermen who com
plain that the new arrivals are taking
their old trade. The Americans more
over use small mesh nets which scoop
up small immature fish. These nets are
prohibited in American waters. It is
feared more boats viii come next year"

CREMATION.

Commenting on the cremation of the late
Colonel Ingersoll's mortal remains an al
legged religious paper says: Speedy annihi-
lation by fire would be perhaps the most
appropriate disposition to make of the body
of one who did not believe in the resurrec-
ton The remark is as devoid of reason
as it is of Christian charity. 1t requires
degree of assurance approaching omnis-
cience or infallibiity for one human being
thus to sit in judgment on another, and the
spirit of the remark is the same as that
which led religionists of the middle ages to
imagine that they were serving God when
they burned heretics and infidels at the
stake, meaning by heretics and infidels all
who differed from themselves. From a
scientific point of view the remark shows
ignorance of the laws of nature. In reality
matter is never destroyed either by decay,
by fire, or any other means 1t may be made
to undergo many changes of form, but de-
stroyed never. A human body that is de-
posted in the earth, there to decay and
gradually become a part of the earth sur
rounding 1t, may help TO supply the ele-
ments of various forms of vegetable or ami
NAL life. but not an atom of it is destroyed
or lost Shakespeare expressed the rationale
of The case when he made Hamlet say:
why may not imagination trace the noble
dust of Alexander till we find 1t stopping
dead and turned to clay, might stop hole
to keep the wind away" Tennyson says:
And from his ashes may be made the vio-
let of his native land" Whatever may be
thought regarding the doctrine of the trans
migration of souls, the transmutation of
matter is a familiar and constant operation
of nature. But transmutation is not de-
A body that is burned is no more annihila-
ted than one that is placed in the earth to
turn TO dust. In one case it Is brought un-
der new conditions by a process of slow and
repulsive decomposition. and In the other 1t
is converted by fire into gases, which escape
in the air, and handful Of clearly ashes.
In either case not an atom is lost. and as
cerned 1t is as applicable and credible in one
case as in the other. Admitting that there
is such a thing as bodily resurrection the
same omnipotent power that could summon
together and rearrange In resurrected
body the widely scattered elements that
once gave it shape and form in life could do
1t with equal ease whether they were found
in the earth. the air or the ocean 1t is a
very superficial kind Of Christianity and a
very unauthorized view of the doctrine Of
resurrection which assumes that 1t Is in any
