Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an epitome of the new fish
law. The statute is well framed,
and if enforced will have a good
effect The only way to do this is
to appoint fish wardens who will
see to it that illegal fishing is sup
pressed There is scarcely any
need of limiting the number that
may be caught with rod and line.
1t is by other methods that streams
are depleted. Fish societies may
and do stock streams with trout,
but they are captured by means Of
nets and other contrivances before
they grow to any length. II it
were forbidden by law to take a
trout from the streams for a few
years, and thus encourage their
growth, we might have more real
sport III fishing, and besides, get
some good fish worth having.

ENGLAND GIVING IN.
Public opinion veering Around Toward
American View OF Canal Question.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Although English public opinion is
steadily veering round toward the view
taken i. America on the Nicaragua ca
nal question. there is no getting away
from the fact that Senator Morg ms
proposals are not rellshed in this coun-
Try.
The Post admits the value Of the in
ter-oceanic canal for the commerce Of
the United States and thinks that the
matter might have been arranged long
ago. as foreign countries would readily
concede to America a predominant voice
in the settlement Of the question. This
parer. however, which caters especially
to the aristocratic classes. finds fault
with the American system OF dealing
with International questions.

LABOR IN MISSOURI.

William Anderson, state labor com missioner. has filed his first annual re- port of the labor conditions in Missouri with Governor Cookery. The document is a comprehensive one. and represents months of patient work on the part of the commissioner and his assistants. It is a complete exposition of the status of the workingman in Missouri and it's statistics will be found instructive to the wage earner.
 One of the questions closest to the heart of every workingman, which Is a perennial subject of discussion at every meeting, and which cuts . large figure in the annual conventions of the broth erhood of mechanics and workers, is the question of legislation designed to ameliorate or better their condition. With this subject. MT. Anderson has dealt largely. and his investigations along this line are made the subject of special mention in his report. He finds. substantially. that large majority of the labor organizations of Missouri fla vor the initiative and referendum. or direct legislation by the people.
 Among the other legislation demand ed or desired by individual unions. he mentions. outside of that class of legis- lation appertaining to safeguards and appliances, and regulations for purely mecha nical work, which may be re- ferred to as of secondary importance in the vast field of labor, the almost uni versal demand from all classes of workmen, of a lawyer. to be attached to the free employment bureau. whose services may be retained by any work ingman to sue for wages without any expense to the workingman.
 Following close on this is the demand for a reduction in the hours of work. the abolition of child labor. and convict labor. for better sanitation in shops, and factories. for the prevention of po- lice interference in strikes, and for the proper inspection of machinery in all shops using machinery operated by other than hand power.
 Railway conductors. brakemen, switchmen, firemen and engineers are a unit in demanding the abolition of the double header" in freight transporta-
 tion.
 Bartenders demand the abolition of barrel houses" and "schooners." and ask an increased dramshop license Barbers want the barber college abolished. The only expressed griev-
 anee of the cigarmakers is a protes; against the laxity of the laws restrict
 ing the endless chain of immigration. | Newspaper carriers want a law
 passed to prevent the vending of news
 papers on the streets.
 Theatrical stage employees want among other things, a law compelling | opera houses to abolish the sand-bae | system" whatever that may mean, and ] the walters and waitresses would com- ] pei the abolition of saloon lunches.-
