A SENSIBLE CANADIAN.
He Puts the Fisheries Question Fairly and
Squarely.
Ottawa special : The Hon. William Mac-
Dougal , ono of the trainers of the Canadian
confederation and ex-membcr of tho cabi-
' not , when he occupied the position of min
ister of justice and also minister of public
works , and who is one of the best known
ministers in tho Dominion , to-day pub
lishes a statement regarding the fishery
difficulty with tho United Seates. He de
fends the position takeu by Secretary Bay
ard , and condemns the present government
ns having put a very narrow construction
upon the treaty of 1818. He Bays :
"Only a part ol the treaty involved in
tho present dispute is limited exclusively to
the subject of fishing ; that is , the solo ob
ject was to prohibit American fishermen
from taking , drying or curing fish on or
within three marine miles ol the coast , bays
and harbors mentioned in the article , and
that tho subject of trade or commerce in
other commodities is not included or con
templated. Consequently , ho says , that
vessels which fish outside tho three-mile
limit have a perfect right , if provided with
permits from the American government , to
call and trade in any Dominion port , either
iu fish or any other commodity. One thing
and only one has been renounced by tho
United States , tho right to lake
or euro fish within three miles of
certain specified coasts. As regards the ef
fect of the retaliation bill , he says that it
must result in non-intercourse by ships be
tween Canada and the United States , un
less the negotiations said to be going on in
London should result in a new treaty. No
same man bel'eves that a nation of GO , -
000,000 of most intelligent , most wealthy ,
most unassailable , most free among the
nations of the earth , will submit to be told
by a subordinate colony of less than 5 , -
000,000 , "You may be content to trade
with us , but only oncondition that you
transport your goods in such vessels and
conduct your business by such of our citi
zens nB we approve. You mny license thoso
engaged in deep sea fisheries to touch and
trade in foreign ports , but if they come into
ours and buy and sell anything but wood ,
we will seize , confiscate and sell their ships
and pocket the proceeds. "
There are some cabinet ministers hero
who believe that the United States can bo
bullied into tho abandonment of retalia
tion and into the acquiescence of this kind
of reciprocity , but this is a big mistake.

VAnDIXATj OIBBOXS' REPORT.
The OtUtolle Church In lis Relation to the
Knlyhta of Labor.
Tho toxt of Cardinal Gibbons' report on
tho Knights of Labor , as published iu the
Moniteur de Eomo , shows that several ad
ditions have been mndo to tho report as
originally published. Eeforring to tho ob-
jeetionr .rged against tho organization tho
card-"a. aays : "It is objected that in this
! " • • • of organization Catholics mix with
jjestnnts to tho peril of thoir faith.
. .mongst a mixed people like ours tho sep
aration of religious and civil affairs is not
possible. To supposo that tho ftiith of
Catholics Buffer shows ignorance of tho
Catholic workmen of America , who regard
the church ns their mothor. They are in
telligent , instructed , devoted and ready to
give their blood as they give their hard
gains for her support nnd protection. "
To the question whether it would not bo
hotter to have the organization conducted
by priests under tho direct influence of reli
gion , the cardinal frankly replies that he
thinks it neither possible nor necessary.
"In our country , " ho says , "we have
abundant means of making Catholics good
without going so far. " It being objected
that the liberty of tho organization ex
poses Catholics to deadly influences and
associates more dangerous than even athe
ists , communists and anarchists , tho car
dinal said it was true , but that ono proof
of the faith would not try American Cath
olics. To such influences they were exposed
every day and they knew them well and
despised them. Tile leaders of tho Knights
of Labor related how these violent aggres
sive elements strove to gain authority in
their councils or to initiate persons into
the principles of the association , and also
told of the determination with which they
were repelled. Tliedanger would ariso front
a coldness between the church and her chil
dren , which nothing would more surely oc
casion than imprudent condemnations.
Special stress being laid upon violence , even
to tho sheduing of blood , which has char-
acterized several strikes inaugurated
by tho workingmeu's associations , tho
cardinal says : "I have three things
to remark. First , Strikes are not
the invention of the Knights of Labor ,
but the universal , perpetual means by
which workingmen protest against what is
unjust and demand their rights. Second ,
in such a struggle of the multitudes of the
poor against hard , obstinate monopoly
wealth , violence is olten as inevitable as it
is rtgretable. Third , tho laws and princi
pal authorities of the Knights of Labor , so
Tar from encouraging violence , or occasions
for violence , exercise a powerful preventive
influence , seeking to keep strikes within the
limits of legitimate action. An attentive
examination into the violent struggle be
tween labor and capital has convinced one
of the injustice of attributing violence to
tho Knights. Their principal authorities
have proved the fact that it is as unrea
sonable to attribute violence to the
Knights as to attribute to the church the
felonies and crimes of her children against
which she protests. This thought is ad
mirably developed by the cardinal. Ho
says part of the Christian prudence is to
attempt to bind the hearts of tho multi
tude with the ties of love for the purpose
of controlling them by principles of faith ,
justice and charity , and to recognizo the
truth and justice of their cause re
moved from what is false and criminal.
They will encourage as a legitimate , peace
ful , beneficent struggle that which by re
pulsive severity might becouicfo-tho masses
of our people a volcanic abyss similar to
that to which society follows and which the
church deplores in Europe. The cardinal ;
insists strongly and at length on this point. I
He then refers to the aspect of ourcountry ]
that of popular power regulated by love
of order ; respect for religion , obedience to '
laws. Not the democracy of lions , but true \
democracy , which seeks the general pros- !
perity by ways of sound principles and '
good social order. Eeligion is necessary to :
preserve so desirable state of affairs. '
Among the church's glorious titles , none at J
present give liar such influence as that of
the'Fiend of tho People. " In our demo- )
[ icratic nation that is the title which gains
For tho Catholic church not only the en- , \
thuqifistSp devotion , of millions of her chil- 5
Ireli. but the respect ai'd admiration of all
if our citizens , whatever their religious bo- ?
iefs. He recognized that the great ques- ! '
ion of the future is not the question or ! '
Tar. commerce or finance , but the social \
luestion , touching the amelioration of the
: ondition of the popular masses , especially c
, ho working man. Therefore it is of sover- v
ligit importance that the church be found P
dways firmly ranged on the side of human-
ty and justice toward the multitudes com- s
losing the body of the human family. Tho i *
onditions of the lower classes at preso. 'it
annot and should not continue.
