The seasoned angler is mindful Of the
fact that the, brook trout is the first
game fish of the opening spring days to
inspire an outing. The black bass legal
season in most of the states does not
open until June /, in several not until
the middle of the month and in others
not until July. The salmon can be TAX
en- legally at Bangor. Me-, in April. also
in the Canadian provinces, but pleth-
oric pocketbooks and plenty of leisure
are necessary to indulge in fishing for
them.
OF the other fresh-water game fishes,
the pike, pickerel and muskalonge can
legally be captured from May 1, except
In Pennsylvania and in the state of
Washington. where the season opens on
July ]. In Canada they can be taken
everywhere in June except in Quebec,
where the II l season does not open
until July l. although fishing for them
is permitted up to May Is OF each year.

Our Trade with the Combatants.

AS a protest against the general
American sympathy for Japan in the
present war 1t has been asserted by
some papers that our selfish interests
demand that we favor Russia, since
that great empire is the more profitable
customer in the American market. 1t
Is true that it's recent great railroad
projects that made Russia buy heavily
of our steel, and even the ties upon
which the trans Siberian lines is laid
came from the forests Of our North
west. Nevertheless, in general trade
we have n much more favorable bal
ance with Japan. The official figures
for the last complete fiscal year show
that American exporters shipped to the
island kingdom of the north Pacific
manufactured and raw products to the
amounNof saO,924,S62, while we i'm
ported from Japan goods to the value
of $44.142,5G2. an aggregate business
of &c., O67 ,424. During the same period
we sold Russia a total of $1S.1222,-

Out in the West the papers seem to
believe that Hearst's victory in Iowa
means that things are coming his way
and that IL he does not win at st. Louis
he can name the winner. Says the
Iowa Register and Leader: ,';And yet
why should Mr.. Hearst not have some
hope of winning? Does his success at
st. Louis appear so much, more i'm
probable now than his success in Iowa
did a year ago? THE victcry-won yes
terday marks the turning of the ways.
If Iowa had defeated Mr.. Hearst the
bottom of the Hearst boom would have
dropped out. The victory in Iowa gives
tremendous leverage to the radical
wing of the Democratic party. 1t will
be all the more difficult to ever again
rally the old line Cleveland Democracy.
The men who are winning are the
young men. They hold the Democratic
reins. II they are not too reckless
drivers they may hold them a long

japan exceeded that with Russia by

some $io.O0O.OOO.
OF recent years the Russians have
been greatly extending their trade
relations with the United States, ana
it was :he hope of both countries that
the st. Louis Worlds Fair would result
in wider exchange of commodities
between the two peoples. Unfortu-
nately, the war in the Far East seems
to have caused that hope to fall to the
ground, resulting as it has in Russia
deciding to withdraw from the exposi-
ton entirely. 1t is also apparent that
the anti-American sentiment instigat-
ed by the Russian press after the out
break of the war has had an injurious
effect upon our Russian trade, if 1t
was not responsible for the Russian
governments determination to aban-
don it's exhibit at st. Louis.
This is regretable, for in 1863 our
trade with Russian increased by u per
cent. over that of 1902. while that with
.Ianan increased by only IL per cent.
for the same period. The actual in
crease of business with Russia is
shown to have been about s9.0Oo,OOO,
and with Japan about $6,OO0,000 In
1903, compared with 1902. Undoubted-
ly, if the Russian advance in Asia is
permanently stopped, it will injure our
increasing Russian trade, though the
loss will probably be made UP by an as
sured "open door policy in China 10
which Russia has been constant
menace. Our general trade with both
cOmbatants doubtless suffers from the
war, but along some lines, as food SUM-
the war gives it n decided Impetus.

vOrce at Philadelphia. that the ratio OF
divorces to marriages is larger in Maine
than in any other state from which

one couple is divorced to every six that
are married, indicating both 4 social

If Bryan and his friends decide to
bolt the man nominated by the Demo-
Gratis at st. Louis, the path is made
easier for them by the nomination of
Debs by the Socialists. He was the
leader of the Chicago railway strike
suppressed by Cleveland and Olney and
this incident together with his suisse
quent term in prison make him the per-
sonification Of the 'evil effects of gov
eminent by injunction" which the Kan
sas City platform views with alarm.
Bryan has always been in sympathy
with Debs and into his open arms the
Nebraskan is likely to flee If the COM
