The Fisheries Dispute.
The London Times has just brought to a close a most valuable series of articles on dispute. The first, written from New York, dealt with ** The Question t Issue” ; the second, from Boston, with ‘The American ; the third, from st. John, N. B., with “The Canadian " and the fourth, from Halifax, with **A Lasting Settlement.” They are evi- dently written by one who is unprejudiced and intensely desirous of getting at the true position of aff;

reference of the exact in- terpretation of that instrument should be at onee refered to a joint high commission upon which all parties would be properly represented. This, he argues, is the pro- position of common sense, and ‘common sense will have its way in the long run.’ Of course, there is in addition to the ques- tion of the proper interpretation of the treaty of 1818 the minor question of the claims for compensation for damages alleged to have been inflicted contrary to the terms of that treaty; and beyond these two the question of the right of Canada as dis- tinguished from the Imperial Government to act as she has acted; the definition of the 3-mile limit; the bait question and the gene- ral question as to what should be the mutual fishing rights of neighboring and friendly nations in each other's territorial waters. These are points eminently suited to the consideration of a properly constituted coin- 1, and if the people of the United States persist in refusing to respond to the advances of Canada to settle the dispute by arbitration, then all will agree that ‘it can never more be said that the constitution of the United States secures a government of

Colonies, and showing that Canada made a much better impression on the visitor than any of the others. His representation of the department of agriculture was so perfect that one could easily imagine himself pre- sent and gazing outhat magnificent display. He said that taking the Dominion exhibits as a whole, a very creditable showing had been made, and he thought it might be pronounced a success, if on no other ground than that it went to prove to English states- men and the people of Great Britain gener- ally—who are painfully ignorant of our coun- try—the great extent of this Dominion and the vastness of its resources. The impres- sion left on the minds of the English peo- ple by what they had seen at the Exhibi- tion, brightened the idea that a closer and more intimate relationship should exist be- tween the Mother Country and her Colonies of inexhaustible supplies, and thus form what is now engaging the attention of some of our foremost statesmen, a Federation of the Empire. The next and last lecture of the course will be delivered on the 29th
inst. Subject: ‘‘ The World Gone Mad.” Not Ended Yet. RUSSIA ENDEAVORING TO FOMENT A FRESH
REBELLION IN BULGARIA,
Official advices received by the Govern- ‘ment of Great Britain do not confirm the report that the rebellion in Bulgaria is at anend. Jt has transpired that Russian otticers, newly arrived in Bucharest, have received large sums of money for the use of | Russian agents in the Balkan states. Do- cumentary evidence discovered by the Bul- garian authorities has been submitted to ‘the English diplomatic agents showing that 'a fresh rebellion is in preparation. Copies of these documents have been forwarded by special messengers to Vienna and Lon- don. These seizures have improved the chances of an early selection of a Bul- garian prince, the majority of the powers | hoping to force Russia toa settlement be- ‘fore further complications arose. The Bul- garian Regency were advised by England and Austria, in order to avoid further difti- culty with Russia, to commute the death ‘sentences on all the remaining prisoners tried by court martial to penal servitude for life. In accordance with this advice. the prisoners, with few exceptions, were turned ver Lo the civil authorities. From Vienna it is te'egraphed that the Czar, who, until recently, was extremely reserved on Bui- galian matters, has, since the failure of the rising, frequently expressed his displeasure at the result, and referred in threatening terms to the treatment due to usurpers and ingrates, who have seized the government of the country.

A Protest from Canada.
Prince Epwarp Istanp, Feb. 27.
Eprror or THe Pitor:—-For some time past all true friends of the Pi/ot in Canada have noticed with regret the bitter anti-Canadian tone which pervades any item relating to Canadian affairs, no matter how small, fgund in its well written columns. Especially has this been the case in the correspondence pur- porting to be received weekly from Ottawa, but which might well have been manufactured at the rooms of O'Donovan Rossa’s New York paper, The fishery disputes have in every in stance been made the occasion for fierce at tack and loud threats by your paper, without ever attempting,as hones journalism should at tempt, to give both sides of the question, and at least put the reader in a position to ob- serve whether or not your conclusions on a question of such importance to you and us are just. For my own part, although [ pride myself on my lrish blood and although I have ever felt my heart throb friendly to the great Republic, | cannot bring myself to admire, al though full of admiration for the Pilot in gen- eral, the course you have scen fit to pursue in matters relative to Canadian questions—- you should remember that even if you had no friends to wound here by your clever satire, the honest manly desire of giving every one fair play ought to have made an examination of the facts necessary before letting sentiment carry us to extremes,
What do you want Canada to do, anyhow? You complain in the bitterest terms because of the seizure of some of your poachers. You want us to pay $2 per barrel duty on our mackerel, and without any quid pro quo to allow your schooners to rob our tisheries within the established three mile limit. We are not disposed to lick, like the cur, the hand that does us injury. We ask you to come to terms--to give us fair compensation for our privileges—and there is nobody we would rather see at work in our waters than the American. A jug-handled policy we'll not be a party to, and this is just where I wonder at the Pi/ot, which should be a fair-play journal. We are ready to treat with you at any time fora fair settlement of this question, but frothy senators or fierce newspaper are not going to frighten us out of protecting our rights.
Your paper, ignoring perhaps the fact that the great majority of the Irish Catholics of Canada, and, indeed, Catholics of whatsoever nationality they may be, are Conservatives, fiercely condemns the present Sir John Mae
attacks

every instance, the hardest and most cutting word in your vocabalary. Lam not going to question your right to do as you like in this respect. But I do feel again that your know- ledge of Dominion politics does not extend very far, or you would long ayo have seen that Catholic and Irish interests have been better served and are being served better to-day by the Conservatives than ever they were by any other administration. As Bishop Cleary says: “Sir John has done us many favors,” and what Bishop Cleary says every bishop in True, your champion, Edward Blake, has, by introducing at a tim« when capital for the incongruous party he leads might be made, been crowned with a chaplet long since wilted by those who do

surround the great chiefs pany and I'll have now five Catholic ministers Langevin, Sir Adolphe Caron, Mr. Costigan, Mr. Chaplean’ and Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson is aman in whom every Irishman finds a friend—a man against whom even his unscrupulous enemies have naught to say. Mr. Costigan has served us well and prudent- ly, never running tlre rish of doing the Irish cause any injury by bringing it up at a_ time or under circumstances calculated to secure for it an adverse consideration. For this pru- dence he has been condemned by the unthink- ing. He has never struck his colors where Irish interests were at stake. The Pilot praises prudence as a virtue in Par- nell. Every man of sense says “‘aye,” but
**Tell me your corm tell you what you are.” We Sir Hector

For the French-Canadian ministers I need not say a word, Compare them with thosé seeking their places and strike the balance for yourself. Laurier and Langellier will bear purgation and exclusion from the sweets of office till May, 92. At all events, we the Catholics of Canada rejoice (not in Tooley-Street-tailor fashion) that the Govern- ment has been returned to power, and are strong in the belief that Sir John has come to stay as long as he may be spared in the flesh.
No doubt the ‘* No-Popery ” cry of Ontario has been fastened on to the Conservatives by the Catholics of the United States. Nothing is further from the truth. The Mai/ has gone over to the enemy; has been thundering in the interest of Alexander Mackenzie, and ex- citing, the Dominion over, the Orange element against Sir Johii. Here in Prince Edward Island even has the Orange lodge heen called into active requisition. The Catholics in general voted Conservative, the bigots went straight against Sir John because he has five men of our creed in his Cabinet and has given Catholics their fair share of the Government favors here. Our Catholic Governor, the first since Confederation, is to them a sore grie- vance. Every fair-minded man should take the words of Bishop Cleary who bravely bore his part in the thickest of the ‘‘No-Popery’’ election fight of a few months ago, and, if he has thus far blamed the Government at Ot- tawa for such a crusade against our religion, honestly make the amende honorable,
The interests of Canada and the United States are not in conflict. We esteem and even lean towards our clever neighbors. We are well disposed to them in every respect. We acknowledge their splendid qualities and admit them tohe ahead of us in bargain. making. Butalthough they have been hav- ing the best of it of late years, we are not dis- posed to let them walk over us without re- monstrance. We have rights, although we are as five compared to fifty. The Pilot is to gen- erous to disregard these rights. Give us our rights, then; we want nothing more.
We would like to have the good will and opinion of the United States also. The press of that great country is, asa whole, friendly tous. It goes hard to vount the Pilot an enemy, especially on account of the high place we have given it in our affections. We don't want to see the Pilot arrayed against us, and consequently would like to make friends‘on fair terms. No matter how well we are dis- posed to any person or people, we are, after having dealt out powder and bombshell to their enemies,inclined te follow on in the path we have made.
