Sizure of the David J. Adams
AMERICAN OPINIONS—-WHAT SOM& OF THE LEADING JOURNALS HAVE TO SAY. Speaking of the seizure of the David}
J. Adams, the Rochester Union and Advocate
says ; The master of the vessel is a bo
20 years old. His excuse is that the
schooner’s owner is a cripple, which, under
the treaty is not a good defenc>. It is very desirable that the whole subject of these fisheries should be put ona more satisfactory basis by a new treaty, but the
Americans will be very shy of any such
arrangement as that of 1877, which took
$5,500,000 from the treasury without gaining any adequate return.
The Baffalo Commercial Advertiser says: Mr. Bayard will do well to bestir himself in the interest of American fishing inter- ests, Oanada should promptly be given to understand that it cannot bulldoze this) matter through,
‘The Brooklyn Hagle says: The Captain of the American fishing schooner David J. Adams, has played a very scurvy trick on Senaior Frye, and other pseudo champions of fishermen’s rights who want to make a little political capital for themselves by shaking their heads threateningly at Great | Britain. It would have been a fine oppor- tunity Mr. Frye to set the Americw eagle screammg, but for one fact viz , the Cap- tain attempted to conceal the naticnaliiy of his schooner by hanging a bit of canvass over the inscription on her stern, thereby admitting that he was in the wrong and hoped to escape the consequences of his act | by artifice,
The Philadelphia Bulletin sayz: Mr. Bayard hes now a tangible case on wiiich to work, He may relicem in parliament his’ blunder of last sammer, if he will.
The Philadelphia Kecord says the ques- tion atissue is a very simple one. It the Canadians are permitted to send fish to this country on equal terms they are perfectly | willing to let New England fishermen have equalrights to their waters. Bat this is just what New England fishermen do not want. They insist upon going into Canada for bait and fish, and they demand at the same time that the -fish of Canada when sent to this country shall be subjected to a duty. Free trade in supplies of food fish will remove at once every pretext for a quarrel with Oanada. lt ought not to be herd for the consumers of this country to comprehend on which side their interests lie.
A Washington despatch of the 10th inst., says :—The seizure of the David J. Adams, by the Canadian authorities, for purchasing | y bait in Canadian waters, ca)led forth a reso- jlution in the House of Representatives to- day from members representing constituen- cies as widely ssparated as Maine and Arkansas. A _ resclution, introduced by Representative J ones after a recital of pab- lished reports in the case, makes an order that the committee on foreign affairs shall inquire into the facts of the case with authority to recommend such legislation as may be dus to the proper sense of national dignity and to a just rezard for the rights and interest of national commerce.
Another, by Mr. Rics, of Massachusetts, declares that the seizure was a violation of the reciprocal commercial rights of citizens | of the United States and of Great Britain, growing out of the principles of interna-
both countries, and demands of this gov- ernmenta prompt and eflicient measure to obtain reparation to its citizens for this unlawful act and to protect them agaiast its repetition.
The Boston Traveller remarks :—The rumor that the Dominion Government had called a halt in its operations against the American fishermen proves to be errone- ous, ag the seizure of the schooner David J. Adams in the Digby basis, Scotia, testifies. This act of Capt. Scott, of the Lansdowne, appears to be authorised
Canadian Minister of Marine for instruc- tions and received areply. The seizure has! been made on a charge that the schooner was unlawfully purchasing bait, but, from the statement of the capti ain, it wonld seem | that even admitting the interpret ation given |
ties, this had not been violated. and the! seizure was entirely uawarranted andis an! act for which our government should de-} mand prompt and immediate satisfaction. The claim, however, that American men have no right to enter Cenadian har-
bors for bait and ice, is one which the! United States cannot,in justice to its fisher- | men, or consistent with its own self-respect, |
fora momentallow. Itis not of course! disputed, that under the treaty of 1818,
Americav fishermen cannot ply their voca-
tions within three miies of the Canadian | coast, except in certain specified waters,but the purchase of bait and ice and the trans-
shipment of crews, is another question altogether. The ablest American authori- ties ontinternational law holi, and in this there is no doubt the large majority of the | United States senate coincide, that bait and! lice are general commercial commodities,
| whose purchase cannot be placed under | penal restrictions, without a gross viola-
tion of international comity, and there is ‘little doubt that the people of the United) | States hold themselves ready to enforce | this view, There has been in the past, | jaltegether too much ot a disposition to! ‘yield to arrogant British claims on the fishery question, and the temper of our | people demands that a tempor izing, hesi-!} tating, dawdling policy should be abandon-
ed. It is perhaps as well that the issue ‘has now been precipitated by this act of! seizure, of a settlement of questions at issue will thereby be hastened ; though it’ lis to he regretted that our state depart-
ment is not controlled and influenced by a more thoroughly energetic and American | | spirit.
| The Boston Herald remarks :—-The spirit | shown by a majority of the members of Congress in treating of this subject has not been such as to smooth the way to an

iatnioable settlement. sete under the ‘inspiration of a small, bat well organized, ‘special interest, Congress has taken the ground that there is nothing in this affair ‘calling for negotiation; that we should get all that we could, no matter how ten-
der Canadian susceptibilities might be, and should give in return not the least recoygnt- ‘tion. Such a course of precedure ia looked upon as highly patriotic and distinctively national ; and yet, like a great many other national ‘and patriotic sentiments, it is in this respect unjust, that it refuses to take into account on the part of the Canadians, if not privileges, at least prejudices, which we should wish them to consider and toler- ate in ua, if the condition of affairs were reversed. Inshort, itis a denial of the great cardinal principle of doing unto others as we would have others do unto us,
although, in justice te Congress, it may be said that it does not often happen that
{the diplomatic affairs of nations are con- 'ducted upon this highest of all endl’ of
action, Sofaras this particalar seizure is concerned, it is interesting to notice that, in one respect, it is a local, rather than au international quarrel. The seized veasel sailed under the flag of the United States, but if we are to trust the statements of her
| captain,he is a Canadian,coming from Cam-
pobello and it is not unlikely that his crew are wost, if not all of them, of the same natiouaitty. Indeed, certain shrewd ob-
lservers have intim: sted before this that in |the contentions we were hkely to have
with ‘Chea: it would be found that most of the causes of difference which would arise would be brought aboat by the bold- ness of Canadian fishermen sailing under the American flag, who could not bring themselves to belive that on this account they were restricted from doing what they would have done if the vessel in which they were sailing bad borne an Eaglish register.
Our readers wiil be interested in an ex- planation of the puzzle. Our treaty, which vpened all the ports east of Maine to our fishermen and allowed them to catch fish wherever they could find them, ex- pired by limitation last summer. Under that treaty British subjects could enter our ports as freely as we could enter theira. Since that time we have had no relations with our eastern neighbors ex- cept those guaranteed by the treaty of 1818. We are therefore barred from entering the harbors of Nova Sootia for aay other purpose than shelter or to get wood or water. The Gloccester schooner bougnt bait and was seized.
This tragic farce ought to come to an end. It is a premium on @ disagreement between two friendly governments.
Neither of them can afford to keep the deen open through which endless mis- understandings may enter. A fair reci- procity treaty would closo that door spa tn Why not have it?
Crapaud } Notes. ;,
THE people of Crapand were (ea to an earnest, eloquent discourse in St. John’s Church last Sabbath, by the Rav. C, OMasara. The Church was filled with earnest listeners, and the favorable com- ments on the sermon afterwards showed plainly how it was appreciated.
We are pleased to know that Rev. T. W.
Johnstone is again recovering, and hope ere long to find him with his usual energy
tional comity recognized by the legislation of |@2d earnestness occupying his place in his
pulpit, where he has been missed during the few Sabbaths past.
Some time ago our quiet community wag thrown into a flutter of excitemant by the knowledge that barglara and thieves had been in our midst, and carried off from David S. McQuarrie’s shoe shop two pair boots, and from Jas. Robertson's store ia Bonshaw about sixty dollars valoe of igeneral goods; suspicion finally rested on two pariies, viz., Patrick Trainor, a shoe- maker, and Whelan his brother-in-law, and search was made for the goods, which were found in Whelan’s house, The bailiff’s, im-

The meetings in this city and Summer- side continue to be largely attended.
The Salvation Army and the people of | Spring Hill, N. S., are now disputing who /have the right of way on the streets. The matter is before the police court.
A split has occurred in the Salvation ane in London. Gen. Booth has dis- | missed Commissioner Carbridge and Col, | Day, two influential officers, who are start- ling a separate movement, which is largely | supported.
Oc Saturday evening, John Pigott, of Spring SHill, N. 8., was annoyed by his horse taking fright at the parade of the ‘Salvation Army,and on Wednesday he drove
jover several of the ladies during their parade. | According to the Journal there is a great stir in St. Catherine’s, Ont., Salvation |Army cireles becauce of the bustle. The ,Captain of the Army in that burgh has | ordered the women soldiers to discard their bustles, which some of them refuse to do. |The male mind has a prejudice against the bustle as being neither useful nor ornamev- tal, but it is a new doctrine that it is easier for a camel’s hump to go through the eye of a needle than for a woman’s bustle to pass through the geien ajar.
