HE SPEAKS HIS MIND.

Lonpox, March 28.

Joseph Chamberlain was presented with the freedom of the city of Birminghain to-

| clay. He said the first object of the Fisher- ies Commission Was to cultivate a friendly, neighboriy feeling between the United States and Canada, and to

endeavor to remove all possible cause of misunderstanding. Even if the final settle- ment of the fisheries question were delayed,

the commissioners might, with confi- dence, assert they had paved the way for an amicable arrangement

of all difficulties between Great Britain and the United States. In conclusion he said : ‘** Now that the task of the Commissioners was finished, the prophets of evil were again at work, but he hoped they were again mistaken.”” Referring to Secretary Bay- ard’s opinion that the treaty conceded all that in reason and justice American fishermen could ask, he said that were it so, the re- jection of such an olive branch would throw heavy responsibilities upon the shoulders of those who would prolong the state of irritation and dangerous antagonism on the question between America and Creat Britain. He hoped nothing of the kind would oceur ; but should the final result be delayed they had at least arranged that which must influence an eventual settle- ment,

No More Smetts.—An Order-in-Council. dated 27th October, 1887, has just been pro mulgated, prohibiting the catching of smelts in any part of the Dominion from Ist day of April to Ist July in each year, both days in- cluded. This severe restriction has been brought about by the enormous quantities of smelts, frozen or otherwise, sent from New Brunswick to the American market. The order further prohibits using smelts at any time as manure, or fishing them with seines at any time, or with bag nets, unless specially licensed, and having extension mesh of not less than one and a half inch ; and even if such bag nets be licensed, they shall be made use of for fishing only in the winter months This amounts to a total prohibition of the delicate smelt in P. E. Island.

After he picked himself up, he applied himself to abus- ing the man who struck him, as well as an- other party who tried to persuade him to move along.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Cuttle Fish Tacties.

Sik,—In your issue of the 27th, Mr. D. Farquharson attempts an oxplanation of his false statements at the meeting at West | River, on the evening of the 10th inst., but, like the cuttle fish, has only muddied up the waters so that he may escape. He has not denied the statements | charged him with making, but goes into a detailed report of what he and I| said at the meeting; and he has gone to the Journals of 1877, Appendix A, to prove his claim of having been the means of securing the West River Bridge for the people of Lot 65. What does this report show ? That a survey was made of two localities on the West River fora site for a bridge, and there it ends. Mr. Farquharoon will not dare to say that Mr. Davies’ Government made any order or contract for the building of bridge on either of the sites or localities reported on by Mr. Bailey as referred to. — If Mr. Far- quharson’s promises are good that a survey means the inauguration and comple- tion of any public work, then the Subway connecting this Province with the Dominion is a reality, and this province need have no further fears of the Terms of Union being carried out.

Mr. Farquharson says ‘‘ he got eight or nine new bridges whilst he (Farquharson) supported the Davies Government.” I want to know where those bridges are? Does he mean the old rotten culverts that were built before he was born, and through decay and use had to be repaired and_re- built. If those are the nine new br dges he is claiming as the result of his influence with the Davies-Stewart Administration, I think the good people of West River will understand his influence, and, of course, will give him due credit for it.

Perhaps Mr. Farquharson will tell the people of West River why Mr. Bailey did not make the plan and specification of theg wharf at McPhee’s Shore, which is now a part of West River Bridge, whilst he was under and in the emply of the Davies Gov- ernment ; and also why the contract was not let whilst W. D. Stewart was in the Public Works Office.

There are several other statements of Mr. Farquharson’s in the article referred to, which I do not deem worth reply. Thank- ing you for so much of your valuable space,

I am, Donatp McKay.
