A FISHERY COMMISSION IS to be ap-
Pointed, with three member&repeesent-
ing GreatBritain and throe represent,
ing the United. Statee. Mr: . Joseph:
Chamberlain is to one of the British
Commissioners. and the names •of two,
ethers are mentioned mthe deepatch-
es. There is no likelihood that the,
United States will consent ts •pay a
cash indemnity for the•privilege of us-
ing the Canadian,. fisheries. The best
way to settle the • question is to make
it a part of a reciprocity treaty. The
people ineboth Canada and the United
States especially those who live close
to the border,.want to extend their
trade. Free trade between the two
countries would peacify Manitoba and
Nova Scotia, Ontario would be a.great
gainer frnm it.. The revenue Teestion
is not insurmountable. WhereOntario
and Quebec werejoined to Isl'eueBruns.
wick and Nova,Scotitte , the, collection
of duties on commodities passing from
one Province to the other ceased, but
there was plenty of revenue for all.
Nobody pretends to believe that there
would be any, lack of revenue for the
whole country., between the Gulf ,of
'Mexico and theArctic Ocean, if Can-
ada were annexed to the United States.
A joint puree scheme is •quite - practic-
able.. Not only to remove a , cause of
strife, ).ut,to add to the wealth, and
prosperity of both countries, the fisher-
ies question should be settled by a re-
ciprocity measure,
THE TonostmeWortti announces that
Mr. Creighton and Boswell have
given up the attempt to collect $250,
000 to establish the Empire for a Con_
servative organ. It was not to be ex-
pected that they could get the money
from the ordinary Conservatives,and it
is a wonder that Sir John did not geta
whole quarter of a million from Oncler-
dank or Stephen, by one Of the proces-
ses.he understands so well. The corn-
mon.Conservat ives have good reasons
toerefuso subscriptions. If they are
merchants, they cannot but know that.
Si*John's.N.P. hasbeen a costly.thing

Are hit almost as hardOne sugar re-
finery in Halifax has been sold at a
loss of 060,000. Thdre must be hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars invested
in cotton mills and other textile works,
upon which not one dollar of dividend
has ever been paid, and 50 ceats co uld

IN HIS ADDRE4S at Detroie on Satin...
day night e Mr.. Wim aii went over the
whole subject of Commercial Union,
and at the coaciusion strong resolu-
tions infavor of the scheme were
adopted. As Mr. Whiten has already
spoken an been reported at ValiOUS
points in Canada, it is utmecessary to
summarize the Detroit speech. On
one branch—the question Of annexa-
tion—he took a stand that has not
"been. generally, expected from him.
Mr- Wimtsn's argument is,that the full
advantages of free trade-e-libertye to
bnyeend to sell whenever there is mut-
ual, profit by. so doing—can be attain-
ed Without eny changes Of existing pol-
Weal relations.,

hiSeway cleer to do Si paying businees

THE GROCERS' ASSOCIATION' are
greatly chagrined, and apparently spree -
what alarmed,to find that those mer-
chants wheehave remained 4 outside of
the combination have become better
tnown and more popidanand probably
moreprosperous, because of their stout
iesistance of,. ell the means to force
them into the combination, and also of
their determination teetuaintain heathy
competition. In theh vexation the
A.-ssociaticm. is unwise enough to impute
a pretence to, "benevolence" on the,
Part of4hese grocera . But so far as
*e know the persons in questionhave
made no such peetence; They- have
been given, however, for serving the
public, and that credit they deserve.

• THE IVIANAGEMENT of the C. Peale
seems tai excite discontent and hostil-
ity in every section which it traverses.
It is not in Manitobaalone that. the peo-
ple are dissatisfied with the ceurseof,
monopolists. The dealings of the.
corporationewitli: the CitypfeVictoria,

ng against the'eroad, and the threat to
boycott . the line ds..freely made. The
Colonist of that,espeaking.of the Man-
itoba struggle, says: "If the people there
have been as badly used as the people.
of Victoria, we do not wonder that
that country: Is, on the verge of Arebel-
lion.".

to .circulate the report that the protest
against the return,. of kir, Blake in
West 'Durham was. withdrawn solely:,
out of sympathy; for the lion gentle,'
man. They insolently infer that there
was ample, evidence to unseat him, btit
that the ,West Durham Conservatives
were so very magnanireous that they
decided not to push the Liberal mem-
ber to the wall.: This yarn does 'very

A REVIEW of the English crop pros-
pects received by cable says the wheat
crop is ,the best of the year. It will
average 32' bushels to the acre. and

sell, This leaves' the country depend-
ant oneforeignesupplies for at least 17,-

will cause a greater demand than usual
for breadstuffs..
