The appointment of a receiver for
the Fish trust serves to call attention
to one source Of a nations food sup
ply that has until recently been
neglected, along with the nations
other natural u that have been
wasted or exploited for private gain to
the public hurt. The recent annual
report of the national fish commits
sioner shows that congress has finally
become awakened to the importance
of protecting and encouraging this in
dustry and that great progress is be-
ing shown by the national commission,
in cooperation with the commissions
in the different states.
1t is only within the last few years
that the fact has been made plain that
the rivers, lakes and oceans require
cultivation as we'll as the land, in or
der to make their food yields abund-
ant. On this point the commissioner
says in his report:
The farming Of the waters Is responsive
to scientific care and to a constant SUI
pervision even more than the farming OF
land. The cultivation Of the ocean floor
is a recognized science today. and in that
cultivation good care means greater
crops, and big ocean crops mean good
prices, for the demand Is constant, mas
much as epicures must have their deli
cacies the year round.
In the early days nothing was more
plentiful in the shape Of food than
fish which filled the rivers and bays.
until it seemed impossible that the
supply would ever be exhausted. This
condition obtained until perhaps a
quarter Of a century ago, when II was
discovered that the waste and thought
lessness OF the government and fisher
men had practically exhausted the sup
ply, Since that time the federal and
state governments have been engaged
in an effort to saw every specimen OF
food FISH now in existence and to en-
courage fish culture everywhere, with
results that have been most gratifying
Special attention is being paid TO those
species that have long been neglected
such as the lobster, while the number
OF salmon, trout, perch, etc, planted
each year runs into the hundreds Of
millions.
The greatest struggle has been made
TO preserve the lobster, the demand
for that sea food having led fishermen
to exhaust the fields. without making
any provision for the ~replanting Of

been passed that the lobster fields are
being restored. and the commission is
convinced that the supply will be suf-
lheient to meet all future needs. The
commission has also educated the dia-

to be saved from extinction. The
work Of the commission furnishes
abundant proof that it pays the gov

NEGRO VOTERS NOT WANTED.

MUM NOI "dNJhD
The negro question is one of the
few issues of public interest on which
Mr.. Bryan is not voluble. His refusal
to discuss the matter in his public
speeches because 1t was not mentioned
in the Denver platform is not proving
satisfactory to the democrats of either
the north or the south and they per-
sist in adding to his embarrassment by
forcing the question upon the public's
attention, ignoring Mr.. Bryan's deter
mined effort to sidestep it.
Colonel Watterson, who is support
ing Mr.. Bryan as eloquently as he OPP
posed him in his former two cam
paigns, is urging the Nebraska leader
ito shape his speeches on the tour Of
the close states so as to draw the ne
groes from their alliance with the re-
would like to accommodate Colonel
Watterson, but he can't because the
solid south won't let him. Colonel
Watterson wants Mr.. Bryan to open
the door of hope to the negro and the
south serves notice that II Mr.. Bryan
attempts anything of that kind he will
find the south standing behind the
door with a club. The Charleston
News and Courier, unquestionably
voicing the sentiment of the south, de-
clares that a democratic victory this
year would be purchased at too great
a cost IL it should be achieved with
the aid of the negro vote at the north,
The News and Courier says:
However much we wish Mr.. Bryan's
election over Judge Taft. we hope that
bound advocacy of the republican party
and all its works. We believe that they
will with practical unanimity supper the
republican nominees as usual, and we
can think of no result which would be
more s~alutary for the southern democ-
racy, much as that course on their part
might injure the chances Of Mr., Bryan.
Should a large proportion of the negroes
vote the democratic ticket and help to
elect 1t the democratic administrator
would be placed under obligations to them
which IT could not easily ignore, and
gradually a policy of Difference to the
1 black voters would De adopted. InlS
policy in time would extend across the
northern border to the south, and our
political affairs would inevitably be in
fected by the polluting influence of negro
participation in them.
This is specific notice that the south
does not propose to recognize the ne
gro as a citizen. He has been disfran-
chised in practically all of the south
ern states and the democratic party
is now seeking to d~isfranchise him in
Maryland, West Virginia and Kansas.
The party rants to ~disfranchise the
negro in the north as we'll as in the
south and would rather lose the presi-
dency than accept 1t through ~recogni-
tion of the rights Of the negro as a
man and a citizen.
1t would be interesting to know
what MIR. Bryan thinks of the ques-
tion. The southern wing Of the demo-
cratic party, which dominates the or
ganization, should be magnanimous
and allow Mr., Bryan to tell the north
ern people, particularly the northern
negroes, where he stands on the ques-
tion of negro Acknowledgement.

Counting the Cost Of Mob Rule.
Chicago Tribune.

The suits brought against the city of
Springfield on account Of the recent riot
and the expense to the state of putting IL
down aggregate $264,OOO. This is by no
means the total cost OF a brief taste of
mob rule. Only three-fourths of the value
Of property destroyed by rioters can be
sued for. sangamon county will have a
heavy bill to pay on account Of the numer-
Gus trials growing out OF the riot. The
loss to the business community of Spring
field through the interference with traffic
cannot be estimated closely, but 1t was
heavy. Some disreputable characters have
left Springfield, but some decent. hard
working citizens have been scared away
and the community is the poorer for their
absence.

The attention of James ]. Hill is
called to the fact that the government
OF the United States and the govern

Directors to the primary law are
o raising the question of expense
and insisting that on this, If on no
other ground, the law should be aban-
doned. These men forget that under
any system Of selecting candidates GER
tain expenses must be borne and that
the present law merely transfers the
burden from a few to the many. When
the old system was in vogue it was
charged repeatedly and truthfully that
corporations and individuals with in
terest in the government spent their
money In order to control the conven-
tions, and the demand was made that
be adopted whereby the
machinery in the selection of candi-
dates should be taken out of the hands

and counting of the ballots. This ex-
pense is a legitimate charge against
the public and should be met cheer
fully, for it is worth all that 1t costs to
know hat the selection of candidates
is free from the sinister and too often
corrupt influences hat formerly sur
rounded caucuses and conventions.

monetary policy If put in operation in 1891
would have been fraught with disastrous
consequences to the country? If he were
to confess that his election in 1896 would
have been a public calamity he would
stand before the people now as a man who
had the honesty to admit that he was on
one occasion frightfully in the wrong. But
II Mr.. Bryan shall insist that he was in
the right in 1896 and that the popular fear
he speaks of was unwarranted. it will be
manifest that he is still as ignorant regard
ing the money question as he was then or
that truth is not in him.

Chicago Tribune,

Mr.. Bryan says he recognized In 1896 that
there were people who feared his election
would be injurious to the country. Their
fears grew out OF the fact that his para
mount issue was the free coinage OF silver
at the ratio OF IS to l, They believed free
silver would make cheap silver the meas
ure Of value, that the purchasing power
Of wages would be decreased. and that
bank deposits and other credits would be
scaled down one-hslf In real value
Mr.. Bryan argued then that those fears
were IN ounded Is he OF the same opin-
ion now? He says the money question has
been taken out of politics by unexpected
discoveries OF gold" That does not an

1896 saw IN his election on a free silver
platform an injury 70 the country were
