mMMJO CURRENT TOPICS t CANADA HELPS FISHERMEN. Canada has established refrigerators for the storage of fresh bait in cooperation with associations of fishermen along the coast. Complaint arises season after season that bait is scarce just when it is most urgently needed, yet such bait can, as a rule, be obtained in abundance early in the season when the men are not in need, of it. An appropriation of $25.000 has enabled the department of agriculture to remedy the difficulty. The dominion government assists the fishermen's bait association to the extent of f0 per tent of the cost of building the freezers and by the payment of a portion of the cost of operating the freezers. Each local association is required to receive, freeze and store for ach shareholder a quantity of bait up ro 4io pounds for each share held and to furnish it during the fishing season as it is needed. Each fisherman pays a nominal charge for freezing and storage and the association has the option of storing surplus bait and of disposing of it on terms agreed upon by the association. A FT F. K Til F. ICK TKl'ST. The attorney general of New York, after examining the briefs and argumentin the case, has concluded to lake action against the American Ice Company, alias the ice trust. A3 the corporation is a foreign one, organized under the Maine laws and doing business in New York under a certificate, proceedings- will be instituted for the revocation of this certificate and the exclusion of the company from the state. Of course, it must be shown that the company is guilty of violation of the state law. It must be convicted of a conspiracy in reftraint of trade and competition. It must be proved a party to an agrree-m-nt or combination for the purposo of engrossing and monopolizing business to the public detriment. The mere increase of the price of ice. however unwarrantable, is not a crime in ih eye of the law. The increase is only criminal when the result of a deliberate agreement To plunder the pnbüc. I'LANS FOK A NF.W WIIITK Hol SE. It is generally conceded by ail persons who have examined the subject that the government must soon build a new house for the President. The iuuiMing that has been occupied by the due. magistrate of the nation for nearly one hundred years is inadequate and unsatisfactory. It is neither convenient for the occupants nor attractive in appearance. Congress lias takn the first practical step toward housing the President in a manner suitable to his htsh office by au thorizing the President to appoint a commission to report upon plans for the improvement of the White Houso and for the treatment of that part of Washington lying between it and the I'otomae River. rut: ;kki.n .11 fat is ill. After protrat ted debate the Reichstag has passed the bill excluding American 1 aimed meats, sausages and ansage meats from the German market, and it is expected that the measure will pass the Bundesrat! and befype a law. On the items named, of diirse, this is a triumph for the Agrarian paity and a blow to the export trade of American packers. But when one comes to count up the actual damage done it is not so erious as might be .-upposed. Canned meats and sauage meats are far from being thq most important items in our Herman provision trade. Lard and bacon are Bi'i' h more important and these are ttnrowchel hy the bill. Tilt: ItlttA FT RANK. Kv-ry sane military thinker will hope that the H.sr of names of some six hundred army officers recently announced for brevet rank will he allowed to sleep peacefully for all time in the pigeonhole where it has been placed by the Secretary of War. Breve:, rank in the I'nited States army has come to be as meaningless a thing as Is the piefix "Hon.." which is tacked on to his. name by nearly every American civilian who rises to the dignity of poundrnaster in his native, town. Chicago Tribune. M FTIIODIVf ITINKICANCY. The rule limiting a .Methodist pistor's stay in one charge has been in force so many years that its abolition by the general conference will seem a startling innovation even to many Methodists. In fact, the church has simply returned to its own earlier practice and again made the pastor's tenure entirely dependent on the bishop's judgment. A Methodist preacher may now remain in one church all his i.'e if successive bishops !elieve the interests of religion are served by such permanence YIFI.ns TO AUSTRALIA. The dispatch from Fyjndon announcing a "compromise" between the British colonial office and the Australian delegates in relation to the judiciary houses of the constitution of tiie proposed federation seems to require some explanation. That Mr. Chamberlain has made an important concession is clear, but a compromise implies reciprocal concessions, and we an not gather from the report that 'he colonists have surrendered anything whatever. CAKKVIMi THE MAILS. By a vote of 33 to 1; the Senate oted down an amendment, to the postoffice appropriation bill, which proposed a reduction of 10 per cent in the amount to be available for pay to railroads for the hauling of tho mails. Had this amendment not been defeated a deficiency bill would later on have been necessary in order to yiake good the amount accruing to the railroads under the terms of tho law regulating their compensation for mail service.

DEATH OF FAMOUS ARTIST. Francis B. Carpenter, the artist, died in New York city last week. He enJoyed an international reputation as a painter of portraits. President Lincoln really led him into fame.

Mr. Carpenter suggested to the president that a portrait of himself and the members of his cabinet considering this famous message would be of great historical value. The president approved of the idea and consented to sit for the painting. For six months Mr. Carpenter lived at the White House pieparing the studies for that now famous work. "Lincoln Reading the Emancipation Proclamation to His Cabinet." In this work with Lincoln appear Stanton. Seward. Chase. Welles. Caleb B. Smith. Blair and Edward Bates.

The trouble which has been brewing for weeks between the union and non-union laborers culminated Tuesday in a riot in which several policemen were badly battered and one union negro was arrested after his Bcalp had been opened by a policeman's club.
