The mama Se saktin.
(Montreal Gazette, May 11.)
It was inevitable that with the opening of the fishing season an incident must speedily occur through which the dispute between Canada and the United States, in respect of the fishing privileges of the latter country, will be brought to the test of legal interpretation and decision. The seizure of the American echooner, David J. Adams, at Digby, brings the dispute to a focus, and out of the proceedings sub- sequent thereon will come, it is earnestly to be hoped, a settlement of the whole question. The offence charged against the master of the vessel is of a two-fold character, that of contravention of the treaty of 1818. which is held to probibit the purchase of bait within the three-mile, and that of being forty-eight hours in a harbor without reporting to the Customs authorities. The trial of thefcase will be heard in Nova Scotia before the Vice-Admiralty court, and a decision will doubtless be pressed for as speedily as possible.
We observe that the Government has been advised not to insist rigidly on the contention that the purchase of bait is pro- hibited by the treaty of 1818, but to regard such purchases as an ordinary right of trade not governed by formal treaty. That ia «» remarkable attitude on the part of thorze who profess to desire the protection of the Canadian fisheries from foreign en-
croachment. The treaty of 1818, now in operation, explicitly and expressly declares that American vessels may enter the bays and harbors of Canada fer wood, water, shelter and repairs, and for no other pur- pose whatever. If we tamely surrender our rights under that instrament in respect to the prohibiticn of the purchase of bait, we will logically be required to yield to the Americans the right to purchase ice and other supplies im our ports, to ship sea- men, in a word, to exercise all the rights and privileges enjoyed by Canadian vessels save only that of fishing within the three- mile limit, The Americans do not care 4 fig, according to theirown statements, for the privilege of fishing within the three- mile limit, and if they are permitted to purchase bait, ice and other supplies in our harbors they will not give even a ** thank you” for the exclusive rights retained by Canada. It may be a debatable question whether under the treaty of 1818 we can prevent the sale of bait to Americans ; legal interpretation by competent authority alone can determine that point, but certain it is that the Government, in the event of an adverse decision, should make stringent laws prohibiting the sale of bait to Ameri- can fishermen, for if we yield this point we surrender practically the whole case. The exportation of game is now prohibitory ; the exportacion of bait must be made so, if events prove the treaty of 1818 not to cover that point. Canada has sought earnestly for asettlement of this vexed question by arbitration ; ia evidence of sincerity and the friendliness of neighborhood, our Goy- ernment has remained for nine months from the enforcement of the treaty of 1818, in the hope that Congress would consent to the appointment of a joint commis- sion, and now that the United States refuse to treat, there is no course consistent with self respect and the interest of Canadian fishermen other than the strict euforcement of treaty rights, supplemented by local customs laws of a proluibitory character in regard to the purchase of bait, ice and other supplies for American fishing vessels. To yield now would be a cowardly and ignominious act; itis the duty of the Goy- ernment first of all to stand upon the literal interpretation of the treaty of 1818, and if the couris hold a contrary view, to make such laws as will shut American fish- ermen out of our waters so long as they de- cline to grant Canadian fishermen an equivalent concession in the shape of free admission of Canadian fish into the United States markets.

Lord Lorne on Home Rule.
The following is the letter on the subject of Home Rule recently written to the Lon- don Times by Lord Lorne :—
Srr,—It is possible that too much weight may be attached to the words of public bodies in the United States and Canada approving of the present Government's Irish bills. It is easy to concede anything, at a distance. Before an election it is always advisable tor both parties in Am- erica to seek the Irish vote, and it is at all times politic to do so. The approval ex- pressed will be found to be general, and hardly to embrace details, Canada very iately gave emphatic testimony that she disapproved of separation as advocated by Louis Riel. The Home Rale practically endorsed is provincial, not national. No
ont American statesman ever proposed
that the South should have the ‘‘justice’”’ of representation as a nation in the Southern Congress at Richmond. Canada would equally object to the Northwest being made a “national” government, and would not allow Quebec or auy other province fiscal or military autonomy. American Home Rule means a divided country, under one indivisible central Government. This cen- tral Government is the only one that is ‘‘national,” each State sharing in its glory. By this central Government, strengthened in each generation, all provincial legisla- tive injustice is checked. This is govern- ment and justice. This system is worthy of the great Empire of the United States, and is as far removed from the programme of ‘‘autonomy for my breakfast and much more for my dinner,” expressed by Mr. Davitt, as is chalk from cheese. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, LoRNE,

China's Great Library.
In the seventh century the Imperial palace of Ciina had 80,000 volumes in it. In the fifteenth century 2,000 Royal Com- missioners condensed the vast mass of Chinese learning and literature into 23, volumes of manus¢ript, but it still remains unprinted. In 1726 ancther condensation was attempted, which was published im
5,000 volumes. A complete copy of this very comprehensive and valvable work has been. secured for. the. Brit- ish museum, whose own amexing catn- logue scarcely eclipses that of the Imperial library published at the close of the eigh- teenth century and enumerating upward of 173,000 volumes of ai] branches cf livera- tuce, without including works of fiction, drama, or any books relating to the Taouist or Buddhist religion. It is, however, neces sary to add that the majority of these books are little more than mere comments. ries by intellectual pizmies of modern days on the writings of men possessed of a far wider range of thougtit and freer imagius- tion than these their cramped descendants. ee

A dense fog, only a few yards ia breadth | settled dowu upon one of the wharves of New Haven at noon one day lately, and re- mained in that isolated position for two hours or more while the sun shone brilliantly elsewhere in the vicinily.
According to the census of 1880 the number of workers in the United States at that time was about 17,000,000. Of these nearly 6,000,000 were engaged . in agricul- ture, while about half that number were professional mgn and individual workers The totalmumber of artisans and laboring men, therefore, is estimated at about
4,000,009.
In Canada chanzes of vovernment have been comparatively few as compared with those of the Australian Colonies. In South Australia there were twenty-nine successive adwinistrations in twenty years; in New Zealand seventeen ministries during the period; in Victoria eighteen administrations in twelve years; in Tasmania twelve admin- istrations in eleven years; and in New South Wales seveuteen ministries in twenty years.
The Pall Mall Gazette says Gladstone's speech made bad worse and sealed the fate of the Home Rule Biull. It quotes Cham- berlain as having declared that he would now oppose the Bill tooth and nail, The St. James Gazette says there is no longer any doubt that the Biil has collapsed. The Globe aaserts that there is lees chance now then ever of the Bill passing the second reading. Echo declares the Bili is now practically doomed.
The budget speech of Hon. Mr. Robert- son, Provincial Treasuror of Quebec, shows that last year the province had a surplus. The ordinary receipts were $2,962,806, and the ordinary expenditure amounted to 2,937 ,856, thus leaving a surplus of $24,950 The liabilities of the province are given at $20,590,075, and the gross assets at $11,- 774,645. The debt of the provinces, there- fore, is $8,815,430. A surplus of $145,000
is estimated for next year.
The Independent of New York remarks « ** It is only a diplomatic war that is threat- ened by the seizure by the Canadiau autho rities of the Gloucester fishing schooner, D. J. Adams, for the alleged offence of pur- chasing bait, which is illegal under the present strained condition of things since the lapse of,the treaty. At present Canadian fishermen cannot sell fish in the States, and our fishermen cannot enter the Cana- dian ports except under stress of weather. Whether it is a Christian condition of things for each party to make itself as dis- agreeable as possible, we need not say. For our part we believe in reciprocity and brotherly kindness inter-church and inter- state. Of course our Government will do its best to prove rhat our fisherman was illegally seized; but it looks like a difficult task,”
A cyclone struck Williamsport, Ind., on the evening of the 12th, destroying every- thing in its track. Several houses and barns inthe north end of the town were carried away. It seemed to have formed about two miles northwest of the town and took a southwesterly direction, travelling abeut thirty miles an hour, striking the extreme north end of the place. Reports come from Att ica, about two miles east of there, that it strack that place about the centre of the town and destroyed several of the business buildings, including a new mill, the Revere House, and the Chicago and Great Southern Railway offices, and a wagon bridge over the Wabash River was {torn down. Severa! inmates of the Revere House were severely injured. The wires
are all down and it is, as yet, mpc ssible to | get auy definite information from outside. | At Williamsport two brick houses belonging ito Henry Butt were torn down and Mre Butt was badly injured. Aside from her, | the pecple escaped injury,
