The Exeter Times, 1887-11-17, Page 4Floe vie a iitops, THURSDAY. NOV. te'ru 1887 THE FISHEIITES COMMIS - The ,arrival of Mr, Joseph Oha.rn berlair in the United States, and the approaching session of the Fish, eries Commission revive a discussion of the fisheries dispute. The cines tions to, be considered by this com- inissiorr go back to colonial times, and clave been the subjects of four important treaties. The drain issues have not been materially changed and may be summed up in the question, "what rights have Ameri- can fisherman on the shores of Can- ada? The American contention is, that the rights ts f fi hr ag-vessels are the same as those of merchant -ves- sels, including all trading rights accorded by the commercial regular tions of Great Britain to the ocean traffic of other countries correspon• ding to the privileges which the Americans give to British vessels entering and leaving their ports The Canadian contention is different however ; it is that commerce and fishing are altogether different things ; that they haye always been considered different by both coun- tries; that they were acknowledged to be different in the Treaty of 1873, (the Washington Treaty) no less than that of 1818; and that American fishing rights ere now to be deter misled by the lattter treaty. I . is practically admitted by the Ameri- can fishing interest that their rights rest on the Treaty of 1818, but they insist that the treaty must be inter- preted bythe commercial privileges granted y both countrieby ro- clamation in 1830. Yet the claim that these privileges applied to fishing -vessels was not asserted by them until after the abrogation of the Washington Treaty, and not asserted to the fullest extent until last year, until they discovered that their fishing grounds had become exhausted. The question, therefore, to come before the commission at Washing- ton will relate to the Sxact interpre- tation of the Treaty of 1818. That gives the Americans certain shore rights marked upon the maps, and excludes them from any others, except the right to enter our bays and harbors e -for the purpose of shelter or repairing damages therein of purchasing wood, and oft obtain- ing water, and for no other purpose whatever." , If the American claims for ordi- nary commercial facilities and the Canadian demand for a strict inter- pretation of the Treaty of 1818 are found irreconcilable, then it will be necessary to consider measures for formal arbitration. But the ques- tions of reciprocity, orof commer- cial union, or of the duties on fish. cannot be considered until the late as laid , down in the Treaty of 1818 receives exact defination. The mat- ter isof vital interest and the con- summation will be eagerly looked for by all. THEY MEET THEIR DOOM The application of the seven An- archists to the Supreme Court of the United States for a writ of error having been denied, Governor Og- lesby permitted the men, save Engel and Schwab whose sentence was corn= tted to imprisonment for life, and Lingg, who blew his own head off, to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. There is no doubt that all right thinking people will approve such a vindication of the supreme law of the public safety so long and so insolently defied by the class of malignants to which these Anarchists of the new appointees to the Com• did belong. The people of the mon Pleas. United States, presumably, are pre- pared to maintain freedom of speech and of public assembly for every purpose consistent with the public interests, but when these are erne played as a menace to the social order, when freedom degenerates TILE RESULT IN HALDI.. MAND. The election held on Saturday last in the county of bi[aldimand to hll the vacancy in the House of Commons so rendered by the un- seating of Dr. Montague by the election courts, was a hot and keen- ly contested one, Dr. Montague, however, being the people's choice. by a majority of re votes over Mr. u e to Qr,l'I1 can rdate, In February last Dr. Montague was elected by one vote only over Mr. Coulter and the Reform party, im- pressed with the idea that they could reverse the standing, set to work and unseated the Ter.. ; but lo ! their hopes in the matter -ot electing their Mr,, Coulter, were blighted, and now after three unsuccessful attempts he can surely be satisfied with a seat at home. This recent victory is very remarkable, consider. ing that the county hitherto last February always returned a Reform- er by majorities ranging from four to six hundred. The Reform party entered this latter contest with a determination'to win, being backed on the platform by all the renowned oratory, and encouraged by the past political record of the county.. Even Commercial Union was used very extensively s s a bait tor the Agricultural class, but this and all other efforts proved futile, the elec- tors choosing a party who have a settled policy rather than trust in a tottering political element. In this. contest ens Reform friends, have sustained an over -whelming defeat, and the verdict recorded in Haldi• mand on Friday clearly demonstrates that the people are joining the great Conservative party of union and r e p ogr ss, and in the second place it proves that Commercial Union has no attractions for the Canadian farmer. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. John Macdonald, the well- known wholesale merchant, of Tor- onto, has been appointed to the Senate to fill the vacancy created by the death of the late Senator Mc- Master. This appointment by the Dominion Government is universally regarded as a good one. Mr. Macdonald is a Reformer. On Saturday the Supreme Court, New Brunswick, dismissed the petition. against Mr. Wood, M.P., for Westmoreland, and also the cross -petition against his opponent, Mr. Emmerson, ' on the ground .that the six months within which such petitions must be tried have already elapsed. If this decision is upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada it will prevent the trial of any of the Dominion: election cases still unheard. It was •generally supposed that the time of a Parlia- mentary session did not count in the six months referred to, By the death of Judge•. O'Conner only. Judge Armour now remains oti the Queen's Bench, Judge Nilson have practically retired. There are now three vacancies to be filled upon the Benchin this Province, and the appointments willlikely be` made at once. Frequenters of Os- goode Hall are busy reconstructing the Bench as follows :—Judge Ar- mour to become Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and Judge Osler of the .Common :Pleas ; Judge Proud. foot to take the place of the latter in the Court of Appeal ; Mr. W. P. R. Street, of London, to be appointed to the Chancery Division; Mr.'R.T. Walkem, of Kingson, and Mr. W. G. Falconbridge to the Queen's Bench Division ; or possibly Judge Rose to the Queen's Bench, and. one deputation A from the Dominion Alliance and the Women's Christian temperance 'union waited upon the Ontario government Friday after noon and presented the request from the temperance conference held in into license and tends to encourage September last for the better en - misrule, they seem to insist that 'the forcenier.t of the Scott Act.

Upon the side was the rudely painted legend, "In Dakota we trusted; in Dakota we busted." Within were John Ainslie, an intelligent farmer, his wife and six children, who have driven from Douglas county, Dakota, within eight weeks, a distance of 1,000 miles by rail and considerable more by highway, en route for Garfield, Essex county, Ont., their former home. It would seem from the above that Dakota is not the delightful territory that the Reform leaders of. Canada would fain have our farmers believe. Mr. Ainslie says that "In Dakota he trusted; in - Dakota he busted" and thathe was anxious to get back to his native soil,_ in Canada. rhe provincial association of pub• lic and high school trustees met at Toronto last week, and passed reso• lutions embodying the following recom nnendations:-- ".(1.) That in the opinion of this associ- ation the provision of subsection 2 of section 121 of the school law should be amended so as to make all ratepayers primarily liable for public school taxes, and t eat the assessor shall so place them on the assessment roll, unless the rate- payer shall himself express to theassessor that he wishes to be rated as a separate school supporter; (2) That this association recommend that the government be re- quested to submit a measure having in view the change of the law of assessment so as to admit of theparty actually paying the taxes (at any time before the same are paid) directing the applicationof the same so far as thesamerelace to school purposes; (3) That theassociation recommend to the government that in view of the injustice of the present system of supporting high school and collegiate institutes, and with the view of remedying the same, a scheme be introduced for appointing the necessary expenses of supporting such schools on a basis similar, as near as may be, to the legislation now existing for the distribut- ion of the expenses for the administration of justice in case of a town separating from the cou'itryfor municipal purposes (4.) That the minimum age for admission to the schools be 6 years instead of 5 except in kindergartens. A deputation was appointed to submit these recom- mendations to the minister of education, the oldofficers of the association were re- elected. l.xreenway.
