PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

In the early months of his official career Park
Commissioner Wilcox made occasional Haroun
al Raschid turns about the parks of Manhattan
noting the behavior of his subordnates when they
were unconscious of critical observation On one
of his drives he stopped his carriage near group
of park Iaborers who were engaged in mending a
road One man in particular attracted his atten-
ton by his leisurely handling of his pick Bechon-
ing to the old fellow to nearer, the Comnlis-
soner began to ehaf him mildly On the -softness
of his job. The laborer listened respectfu-S

the best quality. is highly desirable for nsher-
men, and it would be no small advantage 10
the men of Gloucester TO be able TO secure 1t
ONLY hundred miles from the fishing banks
instead of having TO get 1t nearly thousand
miles away.
AS for the other side of the case. the damage
Newfoundland competition might do to New
England fisheries Mr. Cunningham practically
confirms our statement that Newfoundland cod
is chiefly dry cured, while that obtained by
New England fishermen is green" or wet
picked and he admits that there would be no
competition between them, since Newfoundland
sends her dry cod to Brazil and the N1editer-
ranean and has no thought of trying to invade
our market with such goods. But. he thinks,
she might under this treaty change her whole
system of curing fish. and presently dominate
the markets of the United States with picked
cod It seems to us that apprehension is too far
fetched. Mr.. Cunningham says 'the whole pop
"ulation of Newfoundland is less than two hun
"dred thousand. and the people are very poor.
It does not seem probable that such a COM
munity will suddenly revolutionize its chief in
dustry. adopt entirely new methods, abandon
its well established markets and stake its whole
industrial future upon an attempt to gain con-
troll of a new market now dominated by more
numerous, more wealthy and more resourceful
people.

NEW-ESGL4ND AND NEHFOTSDL4ND

In another column of this mornings Tribune
we print a letter from the president of the
Gloucester Mass, Board of Trade who is also
one of the foremost fish dealers of that city,
the subject of the pending reciprocity treaty
with Newfoundland. He represents the New
England fish industries which oppose that
treaty, and in his letter he sets forth the
grounds of that opposition. Commenting upon
The Tribunes recent editorial on the subject,
he expresses the opinion that underrate the
damage the treaty would do to the New-Eng
land fisheries as much as we Overrate the adj
vantages it would confer upon them. We are
glad to give his side of the case publicity
though we are by no means convinced of the
correctness of his views On the contrary, we
are inclined to think his representations when
analyzed, rather tend to the support of our
own contentious and to advocacy of the treaty
Mr.. Cunningham tells US that Americans are
not dependent upon Newfoundland for bait
and cites in confederation the example of the
French cod fishermen on the Grand Banks
who are absolutely prohibited from obtaining
bait from Newfoundland yet 'stil prosecute
the fisheries in undiminished numbers In
1901. according to Newfoundland records, sew
enty-six American fishing boats obtained bait
in Newfoundland ports payment of the
license fee 1t may be that this number was
reduced one-half in 1902 as our correspondent
thinks. Nevertheless, the privilege is still a
valuable one, and worthy of taking into con-
sderation. The argument that the French
prosper without 1t is not to be well taken be-
cause it is well known, first. that the French
fishermen obtain good deal of bait from New
foundland surreptitiohsy; second, that even
thus they could not maintain themselves in
business without the enormous subsidies which
are paid to them by the French Government;
and third, that even with such aids the French
fisheries are not prospering, but, on the con-
trary, are steadily declining. The last three or
four years have been disastrous to them, and
allzthey themselves say-because they are not
permitted to get bait from Newfoundland.
Salted squd is poor substitute for herring, the
