Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.)
Washington. Dec. 31.-The reckless
and improvident manner with which
Americans have dealt with exhaust
BILE natural resources with which this
continent was endowed is exemplified
in a report of the bureau of fisheries
in a bill introduced by Congressman
Linthicum OF Maryland for the con-
servation of the fish supply.
The wild pigeon has been extermi-
mated by the greedy hunters. The
buffalo was killed OF within COM
paratively short space of time. Sew
eral valuable species OF fur bearing
animals are almost extinct The rapid
destruction of the great numbers of
wild ducks. geese and other game
birds finally resulted in the passage of
the Mclean law, the first statute
which aims at federal control of the
game supply.
And now Congressman Linthicum
proposes federal regulation of the
catching OF fish, on that ground that
they, too, are migratory, and hence
are not within the exclusive jurisdic-
ton of any one state. The report OF
the bureau of fisheries demonstrates
that some of the commonest varieties
OF edible fish are going the way of the
wild pigeon and the beaver under the
present reckless custom of permitting
catches to be unlimited. and the fail
ure to provide safety zones which the
fish can breed without molestation.
The sturgeon was once an important
American food fish. Now II has al
most completely disappeared. Amer
lean caviar will soon become an I'M
known fish, and the price of this deli
cacy IS now so high as TO exclude it
from the tables of all but the rich.
Yet not so many years ago sturgeon
were so plentiful IS 10 be almost
nuisance. For many years they were
not known TO be edible, and the prepa-
ration OF their roe as caviar was an
unknown culinary process in this

THE SHAW Rebellion.

Dr. Anna Shaw's attempt 10 bring
about a suffrage rebellion against the
government Of the United States is
not likely TO prove very successful.
Respecting her appeal TO the 'unfran-
chised women of America" TO offer a
passive resistance" 10 the collection
OF the income tax by refusing to rem
der an account of their property. off,
Gals OF the treasury department point
out that such action would be in viola
ton OF the law and subject TO severe
penalties: and they intimate that steps
will be taken to enforce the law.
In that event. will DIR. Shaw lead an
army of suffragists against Washing
ton or urge their self-decimation
through hunger strikes? In the matter
of its taxes, the government Is jealous
and sensitive. says the New York
World. in answer thereto. II collects
them from citizens. aliens and minors
alike. without distinction of sex or
condition. II does not exempt women
from the payment OF customs duties.
as recent events have clearly shown.
The theory that no one need obey
the laws who does not vote and have
a hand IN making them has been pro
ductive OF much suffragist sophistry
Perhaps II the sufIrasists would agree
10 give up the constitutional rights
which the government provides them.
some arrangement might be made for
exempting them from taxation by
which these are made possible. But il
Is doubtful II the object can be accom-
plished by passive or any other kind
OF resistance.
There was once a short-lived Shaw's
rebellion against high taxes. and
whisky rebellion In Philadelphia. but
II IS unlikely that there will be a
Shaw's rebellion for the historians OF
our times to chronicle.

MAY CURE HIM.

Emil Zerkowitz, an Austrian banker
who has a penchant for duels. is per
mitted to enter this country for the
transaction OF some business he has
on hand But he IS :cld that he can
stay only 80 days. for we can't assim-
ilate dueIists in the free land. This
arrangement is satisfactory TO Jerk
owitz. for he will be able TO finish his
business in less than a week.
Zerkowitz has fought four duels in
Austria and he appears unframed be-
fore us and can tell his own tale If we
care TO hear. There isn't any offensive
bravado about him. for he smilingly
explains that duels in Austria are
hardly as dangerous as boxing
matches in the United States.
One would think that this country
might open a schol for the cure OF
duelists. We have here the plant that
can do the work, warranted never to
miss lick. II we could have Zerko-
witz with us several months. long
enough to take the complete course
we might be able TO laugh the dueling
disposition out of him. II he should
try 10 get up a duel while with US he
could only excite a guffsw and patron
ising derision.
In this country people do not be-
lieve in dueIs: aud they are entirely
sure they don't. So strong and GER
tain is this feeling that IL is sure to
overcome and smother the misguided
individual from another land who is
foolish enough TO try to start some
thing in that line.
In this matter 1t is easy for the
widest untamed duelist of Hungary
or any other country to stay with us

country. The big, powerful sturgeon
made trouble for the fishermen, tan
Cling and tearing their nets. Conse-
quently, whenever they were captured
they were promptly killed and thrown
back into the water.
Then the edibility of the sturgeon
and it's roe was discovered. Fishermen
began taking them in great numbers
for the market. There was no reckon
ing for the future. no closed season,
no protection for the fish at all. Soon
the supply began diminishing. Then
IL was discovered that the sturgeon
was a variety of fish easily killed Off
The scientists began studying its hab-
its of life, and to this day they have
failed to find out how to increase the
sturgeon supply by artificial propaga-
ton. The roe of other fish can be
Matched in tanks, and the small fish
can be distributed in the waters of the
country, but artificial propagation OF
sturgeon has not yet been discovered.
But that made no difference to the
fishermen. The price of sturgeon and
caviar mounted. stimulating the catch
ers to more diligence. Fifteen years
ago the catch of sturgeon on the At
laEtic coast was 100000 pounds. Last
year, with even greater efforts on the
part of fishermen, it was less than
100000. In IS year, the sturgeon
catch in the Great Lakes declined 80
per cent. The fish is becoming ex-
tinct.
Even the more prolific varieties of
fish are suffering the same fate. Shad
is becoming a luxury. A few years
ago more shad were taken in a days

entire season. The valuable men,

furnishes a food supply for the great
food fisheries of the Atlantic coast,
formerly swarmed by the trillions. It
was not infrequent that several tons
of them were caught in a single sweep
of a net. They are used in making
fertilizer. and the supply has now WIS.,
IDLY decreased.

THE ORIGIN OF DIXIE

, the strongest in the south and one of
the best known in the United States.
The Citizens bank allied it's for
tunes with the confederacy when the
war of 1861 broke out, and consequent
ly suffered a long run of vicissitudes.
from which it emerged successfully.
When General Butler took charge of
New Orleans he issued orders to the
bank to turn over to him all money
and property in its possession belong
ing to anyone who had aided the con-
federacy. The bank paid S215,S20 to
him under the order. Later, at But
ler's dictation, further sum of $685.
400 was contributed to the city. After
this an additional sum of $4,000 was
paid to Butler; then TO General Banks,
at Buffers dictation. S55.477, and later
S11.4S5. On Jan. 10, 1866, on General
Canby's order, the bank turned over
S1,O00,000 in securities and charged
them to profit and loss.
In addition to these forced contri-
buttons the Citizens bank gave to the
Confederacy s250,000 on April 10. 1861,
loaned the Confederacy S325.000 in
coin on Jan. Z, 1862. and paid the pay
rolls of some divisions of the Confed-
crate army a total of $4,000. Yet the
bank withstood all these losses and
outlived its old charter and gave up
only when the authorities would not
renew its charter on. account of the
unusual liberal features of this instru-
ment
