OUR FISHERIES.

Teun Sun,of St. John, publishes the following editorial and, we presume, au- thoritative statement.

“There is no ground for the report that a comwmittee of the Maritime Board of Trade has placed in the hands of Sir Louis Davies a resolution recommending the concession of the use of ihe inshore fisheri. es to the United States in return for equal privileges with the United States in the market of Cuba and Porto Rico. The Mu e ister of Marine and Fisheries has re- ceived a resclution from a committee of the maritime board, but it does not re- commend any such cheap concession of the shore fisheries. On the contrary it rather discoursges the concession on any terms. We have. not the text of the resolution, but in substance it advises the minister that the shore fisheries ought to be retained for the exclusive vse of Canadians, adding that in case any proposition for the ad- mission of foreigners to a share in these privileges oboatia be considered a consider~ ation of great value should it be obtained, This resolution was not so gratuitous as would appearto one not acquainted with the antecedent circamstances. It is under-. stood that the Halifax board of trade, or oue of its committee had previously sent a re eglution to Sir Louis Dayigs, Thio y¢- Solution Commended a restoration of the fishery clauses of the reciprocity treaty that is an exchange of free fish, with the stipulation that the free market should also include Porto Rico and Cuba. Some of the members of the maritime board thought that this advice to the Can adian delegates showed too great readiness to concede fishing privileges within the three mile limit. The Truro resolution was intended to place a bigher value on our territorial privileges. If the resolution had been discuesed in public meetings of the board, no such misconcep- tion could bave arisen as the cne that has gained an unfortunate currency. But it seems tu have been thought tbat these sug- gestions to the Conference should not form a part of the public record, lest some hos~ tile New England interest should be exc't» aed. The diplomatic reasons for secrecy, whatever they were, are not so importaut asthe reasons for publicity, now that a wrong report has got into circulation.”

Tuis contradiction and satisfactory. We felt sure, from the be- ginning, that the Maritime Boara of Trade

could not have been guilty of no such act of folly as that reported of them. We agree with the Sun that *‘ the long struggle cf Newfoundland to escape from the en~ cumbrance of French rights on the coast is @ warning to us” not to legaily cede away our rights in our invaluable fisher- ies,

“MR. TURNER'S STATEMENT.

Mr. Turver, ex-Premier of British Col- umbia, has issued a statement in the course of abich he says: “I submit that His Houor’s course was extraordinary throug li- out. On August 8th he sent me a letter asking for my resignation on no other grounds than be did not think I possessed the confidence of the House, At the time the letter was written | was certainly iis

advieer, avd yet at that time he sent for Mr. Beaven and advised him telling him that be had other rearons

for dismissing me apd authorizing Mr. Beaven to publish an outline of one of the alleged causes. [received His Hon- or’s letter at 12 o’clock noon. Idid net consider it as a dismiseal, although the Governor told your reporter that he in- tended it as one. I thought it required a reply, and I was preparing this, in which, by the way, 1 was not going to resign, when 1 was informed by a gentleman in no way connected with the Government that Mr. Beaven had been called in. This I thought at the time was a joke, but on going into town, I found it was knows generally, that it had been talked of at a public gathering at Esaui- walt, and further that.be Livutenant Gov. ernor’s letter co me of that dale was aléo discueged in the Sireets, having been made public by some oue. This letver and sevs

| eral others of importance ought to be made

public, and I am considering how far I sm at liberty to give them to the press.

“The position of affairs, so far as the House was concerned, was this :—I had the support of at least eighteen members, and almost certainly nineteen, as was shown by Mr. Beaven in bis published stateme nt when he said that one member of the then Opposition was ineligible for a candidate. That is to say, including my own vote, the then Government party counted nineteen certainly, and aimost certainly, twenty out of a House of thirty-eight mem- bers. Yet the Lieutenant-Governor chose to decide for himself what the House would do when it met aod dismissed me from power,—to replace me, first by a gentle- man pot in the Hcuse at all, and a:ter» wards by a gentleman belonging to a party, which, accordiog to his own ad viser, Mr. Beaven, was in a minority.”

THE BANK STATEMENT.

The circulation of the banks of Canada maintains its bigh level, as compared with the same period in recent years. The figures stands at $35,553,546, or $3,844,~ 089 more ihan for July 1897, and about seven millions more than in July, 1896. As one result the banks have had to in-

| crease the amount of their deposits as joint

security for their notes, and the amouat of the fund is now $1,989,645. Some of the bauks also have expanded their circula- tion till the limit is almost teuched, and further issues are impracticable. The item of current loans, $220,193,092, is $15,612,248 greater than for July a year ago, though fully two millions less than in June. The item of cal! loans still bas Jarge figures to its credit, indicative both of confidence and activity in the security market. It stands in the statement at $21,885,337, compared with $20,060,715 in June, and $15,714,954 in Julv, 1897, the increase over the latter month being $6,170,383. foreign countries and from the United Kingdom show some changes, thongh they are both large, ing $19,327,662 in the former and $10,- 513,602 in the latter.

HERD-BOOK AMALGIMATION.

Owners of short-bhorn and Ayrshire cat- tle whose pedigrees are registered in the Prince Edward [sland Herd Books of thore breeds, will be pleaeed to kuaow those re- cords are now amalgamated with the Dom- inion Herd Books. All the action now peceasary for owners to take,is,send on the patwe and other particulars of ihe breed. ng cattle they own together witha single entry fee for each, when Dominion register certi~ ficatee will be returued by Henry Wade, Toronto, Ontario.

The transter business was great)y facili- tated by the liberal and public spirit of C. C. Gardiner, Esq., the founder and

‘actual owner of those records, in handing

them overto the Dominion Societies. Lt was thatgentleman’s love for good catile which caused him, at much trovble and expense, to establish those Herd Books which are in soperfect a form that every animal entered can go on the Dominion record+ as one of the bighest character of any Herd Book in the worid.

We ootice that Mr. Wade, the Secretary ot the Dominion Association alludes to the Vice President of the Short- Horn Breedere Assocls*iga,

I Mr. F. G. Bevyér, a the leading spitit Si the movement fot the atnelgamation of the Maritime Herd Books witn the Doilnion Association; but he remarks that he finds the Herd Books inthe neighboring pro- vinces in a very unsatisfactory state, they being in striking contrast with the correct statements of the P.
