FISH PLENTY. PRICES HIGH.

There have been some big catches of
fish on the New Jersey coast this sea-
son. Boats come in to shore from the
pound nets loaded to the gunwales with
the finny tribe. and large catches are
made with seine nets. Enough Of this
fish is sent to the New York market
TO meet the demand at the high prices
fixed by the Fish Trust. and the large
balance is put in cold storage TO supply
the market next fall and winter.
Be the run of fish large or small the
consumer gets no benefit. When the
supply from the ocean is abundant the
excess is stored away. and If kept too
long 1t is sold to the oil factories or to
the farmers for fertilizers. Last winter
tons of fish, partly decayed, were carted
from cold storage at Sea Bright and
thrown on the fields. If the prices paid
by the Fish Trust are too low for the
pound net men, and If the cold storage
houses do not require any additions, the
fish are left to die in the nets or are
sold to the menhaden steamer owners.
Ever since the Fish Trust was formed
consumers have paid excessive prices
for fish in the markets, and these prices
have ruled without regard to the supply
delivered up by the ocean. The people
of this State are entitled to the en-
1oyment Of the food fish caught in New
Jersey waters without paying an op-
pressive tax to a trust organized under
New Jersey laws and capitalized in
New York.

A NEW CANAL MOTOR.

II the Morris Canal was in the hands
of a company engaged in the business
of waterway transportation instead Of
under control of a railroad corporation
that wrecked its business In order to
destroy competition and secure possess
sion of it's terminus at tidewater there
would be some practical interest to the
operators in an experiment successfully
made last Saturday on the Lehigh
Canal in Pennsylvania. narrow
gauge track had been constructed along
the towpath for a three-mile stretch
and upon this was run a ten-ton cleo
trically propelled truck which dragged
a loaded canal boat by a hawser. The
boat made a quick trip from end to
end and with very little wash on the
banks of the canal. The consensus of
opinion by the canal company officers
was that the experiment was success
and that the motor would soon bring
the canal system of the country into
active use.
There are new methods in Europe of
propelling canal boats economically
and they are now coming into general
use. Previous experiments were made
with the trolley and other devices in
this country, but here the canals are
largely under the control of railroad
corporations and the inventors of canal
motors are severely discouraged. If
our canals had always been free from
railroad influence American ingenuity
would long ago have dispensed with
the mule by providing a cheaper and
better motive power.
The Morris Canal, with its more than
one hundred miles of waterway. uniting
the Delaware at Philiipsburg with New
York Harbor. could be made an
immensely valuable transportation
agency. And it would be more prac-
ticable at the present time to put this
canal in order with a new equipment
and motor than it is to get ship canal
between New York and Newark Bay.
If, indeed, the canal was managed
properly for traffic the dream of ship
canal would sooner be realized, for the
Morris Canal would then be a great
feeder for such an enterprise.

A NEW FISH AND GAME COMMITS
SION.

The men selected by the Governor to
constitute a new Fish and Game Com
mission are all acceptable. The Gov
ernor disappointed the hopes of the old
commissioners that he could be induced
to reappoint them on the new commits
sion, only Commissioner Logue, of
Camden, a recent appointee on that
board and not identified in any way
with its scandalous acts. being ap-
pointed. Mr.. Kuser is well known in
connection with fish and game matters.
His practical knowledge of and per-
sonal interest in such matters make
his appointment an ideal one and point
him out as the executive head of the
commission.
The first work of the new commits
sion doubtless will be the reformation
of the warden service, which has long
been a standing joke. The wardens
have been selected through political
influences and with the understanding
by the appointee that he had a since
cure job. The activity of some of these
wardens has been pernicious. AS they
get third of the fines imposed where
they makea arrests the incentive is
given to make arrests unjustly, and the
victim is usually an ignorant man who
does not know the law and his rights
under the law.
The pull that the pound net fisher
men have had on the old commission
will now. 1t is expected. be broken. 1t
will doubtless occur to the commission
ers to make an investigation of the
salt water fisheries with view to new
legislation. The old commission, while
keeping an expensive launch in salt
waters, declared that the commission
had no Jurisdiction under the law In
salt waters. If the power of the new
commission needs to be strengthened a
bill can be prepared for the Legislature.
The people of the State look to Com
missioner Kuser and his associates to
effect a complete reform in the system
of fish and game protection.

HARTMAN IN THE I1MEI1aHT.

No particular recommendations are
Commerce Commission of its exhaust
I've inquiry into the railroad operations
of Edward H. Hartman and as
sociates. The commission goes upon
the presumption that the Attorney
General will act upon the statement
and does not need recommendations.
The report itself is, however. replete
with suggestions as to the line of ac-
ton to be taken.
In a general way the commission
says that the union of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific has resulted
In stamping out transcontinental and
transpacific competition in the carry
ing trade. A railroad corporations
business should be confiped to trans
portation and it should not invest gen.
orally in the securities of other car
riers; a railroad is acting unlawfully
and against public policy in acquiring
control of parallel and competing lines;
and the time has come for legislation
to control the issue of securities by
railroads engaged in interstate COM
merce.
How wealth is created out of moth
ing by sharp manipulation is shown
in the criticism in the report of the no
torious Chicago and Alton deal. One
feature of that deal was the CONVEX
sion, on the books, of an obligation into
an asset which was thereupon cap
italized. Again the commission shows
how the stock and liabilities of the
road had been increased by $56,000,000
without a dollar of tangible property.
How the Wall street bankers are en-
riched by this thimble rigging, in the
way of commissions. is explained by
tho commission. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. re-
ceived from one sale of Union Pacific
bonds a commission of s5,000,000. and
iticiC may ldNC b0Ci many SUM tieNAS
actions.
But the most important revelation
to the people in this report is the ex-
tent to which Hartman has secured
control of railroad and steamship
transportation, a control embracing
more than half the continent as we'll
as the Pacific steamship lines. But for
the Northern Securities decision he
could go on with his system Of maxi
ing one road pay for another and alb
sorb the entire railroad system in the
United States. He has already secured
a solid foothold in the East by stock
purchases of the Baltimore and Ohio
and in New York Central. The COM
mission has made its report, and 1t is
now for the government to act.

PROHIBITION AND srAGNAr1oN.

Prohibition States are not attractive
to immigrants from Europe. Maine is
an example. While that State possesses
wealth of undeveloped forests, teem-
ing fisheries, fertile lands and prosper
GUS manufactures the population of the
State is almost stationary. In 1860 the
population of Maine was 62s,279; in
1900 it was 6s4, ,466, and it is now esti-
mated at about 10000.
On the other hand, the popu-
laton of Massachusetts. which was
1881, ,O6S in 1860, was 2.sO5.S46 in 1900,
and is still growing in much the
same ratio. Immigrants give a wide
berth to State in which they would
be subjected to stern prohibitory law
which conflicts with the social customs
and tastes. They go, therefore where
they can enjoy their customs without
the risk of arrest for violation of the
laws.

RANGES PASSING AWAY.
And Better Cattle Will Be Sent to Mar
ket as a Result.

The most picturesque feature Of cat
tie raising on the Western plains-the
great round -up"-will soon be among
the things of the past. says the Kan
sas City Journal. The railroads are
stretching their long lines through the
very heart of the range country, and
in place of the terminal station to
which thousands of cattle were gath
cred from the surrounding country to
be shipped to Eastern markets there
will be many stations at convenient dis
tances and within easy reach of the
diminishing herds that still crop fat
ness from the buffalo grass.
The range roundup" was always a
thrilling sight. Cattle by tens Of thou
sands were sought out from the hills
and valleys by scores, of range riders,
those bearing brands to be cut out into
herds by themselves. the fat cattle
packed into hundreds of cars to be sent
on their long, horrible journey to the
slaughter pens
There were many days of hard work
for the cowboys. followed by many
other days and nights of drinking and
carousing, which lasted until the last
train started on its Eastern way. Then
the range riders, cowboys and helpers
mounted their ponies and struck out
for their various ranges to spend
months of hard and lonely work looking
after the herds yet to come.
Grass-fat cattle are soft and lose
flesh more quickly than grain-fed ami
mails, and the long drive from the range
to the roundup station, the terror and
crowding as the cowboys dashed among
them, the yells and probing with IRON
piked poles as they were packed into
the cars quickly reduced their flesh.
The long journey, sometimes as much
as one thousand miles. with infrequent
rests and insufficient feed and water,
caused further loss of weight, and
these cattle often arrive at market sad
and sorry specimens to be converted
into beef
The great range is rapidly passing
and in its place is coming the fenced
pasture of the small farm. This change
is gradual but rapid; irrigation is turn
ing the great plains into ricn pastures
and fields and grain and other crops
are taking the place of buffalo grass.
Cattle viii be sent to market In bet
ter flesh and shipments will be more
evenly distributed. Thousands of range
cattle are now sent to the corn States
every year to be fattened for market
but with the development and settle
ment of the great range country the
grass-fed steer win soon be curiosity
