NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The American fisheries dispute U forth, r from settlement than over. The Treaty of 1818 provided that United States fisher men could or ly land ou Canadian soil for f uol or water, or when in distress. Tbey were precluded from remaining in Cauaiian waters on any other pretence, the evi dent intention being to pi event them from fish.r.g or procuring bait. Ti .so provisions practically exclude fisliim;' craft of the United States from carrying on operations near the Canadian coasts. By an oversight, however, no provision had been made empowering the Do minion Government to confiscate vessels caught acting in breach ol Treaty. That defect has now been remedied by the passing of a bill through the imperial Par liament authorising seizure and confisca tion. That the Americans are greatly in censed over the matter ia proved bytbeadop tion of v resolution in tho House of KeDre eentatives authorising President Cleveland to prevent -Canadian railway cars or got ds crossing tho torder. _nd yet, if the United States Govetnmeut would tako a rational view of the matt«r, Canada >a only doing what the li, public does anu'has always d.-i— pro ~.i„g |, er OHn industries against foieigi, „ rnpeiitiOu. The iLhciiea aro worth three mi.iions _i=rling every year lo Canada, and .-co has surely . right to prevent poachi- g in breach of a treaty tbe interpretation of which is i.uc disputed. That so. mac. ill .eeling should have ariaen betsvteu border1-g countiies ia to be deplored ; at the same time the indignation of the United' States is very like that of the vntuons burglar, who p.e.nt. a pistol to tho head of the householder who has in lerjupted him in the puis.u of hia "honest callu g "
