The Pall Mall Gazette in leading article this afternoon says that “The United States should choose this precise moment to publish what seems from the telegraphic summary to be rather a threatening dis- patch addressed by Secretary Evarts to the American Minister, Mr. Welsh, concern- ing the fisheries question.” It says that this dispatch *‘can scarcely be regarded as accidental. All the world can see that we have on our hands at present quite as much as we can well deal with, and a really friendly power with a grievance like that, whilst holding to its ~position, would re- frain from casting the matter in an irritat- ing way before this Republic until our affairs had assumed a more peaceful aspect. At any rate this is what, according to the administration of the Alabama arbitration, we might certainly have expected from America.”

Mercantile Public Spirit.
Goyernor Seymour, of New York State, in a recent address, complains of the “‘sad lack of interest” merchants, bankers and real estate owners manifest in public ques- tions that directly or indirectly affect their interests. He says :—
‘‘When men in the country, and the for- warders and commission men in the city, were struggling to get tolls on our canals cut down, the classes alluded to showed no interest.- ‘fhe meetings called by the produce men were attended by few outside of those engaged in the pursuits im- mediately connected with the canal. busi- ness. ‘They excited less interest, and were not as’ fully or as generally reported as
And yet the revival of trade and the welfare of all classes“ are largely due to the aid to commerce by a reduction of tolls. This lack of spirit is not shown in the other great cities of the world. It was not so in Venice
like period of 1877. The earnings of twenty roads, i. e., excluding from the above group the Grand Trunk and Great Western, the Wabash and Scioto Valley, the Dubuque and Sioux city, were as follows, in the period mentioned of the past four years :—
1875 $59,326,640 1876 62,142,996 1877 59,757,813 1878 65,050,414
Showing that the gross earnings of the present year are larger than those of any one of the three yearspreceding. TheGrand Trunk receives less this year than last in the proportion of $6,470.833 to $6,771,784, and the Great Western more, viz., $3,310,- 518 against in 1877, $3,116,045.

Death of Chief Justice Harrison
Our Toronto dispatch informs us of the death yesterday, at his Toronto residence, of the late Chief Justice Harrison. Judge Harrison was born of Irish parents in Mon- treal on the 3rd of August, 1783, and edu- cated at Trinity College, Toronto, where he graduated as B.O.L. in 1855 and D.C.L. in 1859. He married Anna, daughter of the late J. M. Muckle, Esq., the well known merchant of Quebee, who died in 1866. In 1868 he married Kennethina Mackay, daughter of the late Hugh Scobie, Esq., editor of the Toronto Colonist. He was called to the Toronto Bar in 1855, created Q. C. in 1867, elected a Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario in 1871, was chief clerk of the Crown Law Department of Upper Canada from 1854 to 1859, and joint editor of the Upper Canada Law Journal from 1857 to 1872. He was auther of a ‘ Di- gest of cases decided in the Queen’s Bench from 1823 to 1851,” and numerous other standard works of reference te the profes- sion. He was a Conservative in politics, and supported Sir John A. McDonald’s policy when in the Legislature.—(Quebec Chronicle.
