The rights of fishing on the Ca-| nadian waters are those rights ac-~ quired by the combined valor of the New England colonists and money of England, by which the French were despoiled of their rights and possesijons in Nova Scotia aud New | Bruuswick. These common rights | were recognized at the close of our Revolution when three million im-| poverished colonists forced His Britavnic Majesty to acknowledge | “the said United States to be free, sovereign and independent,” and to agree in that same treaty of 1783 “that the people of the United States shall continue to enjoy un- molested the mght te take fish of any kind on the Grand Bank, and ou all other banks of Newfoundland also in the Gulph of Saint Law- rence, aud at all other places in the sea where the inbabitants of both countries used at any time bereto~ fore to take fish.” In 1818 Albert Gallatin, who, as ‘a citizen of the world,” though in the employmeut and pay of the Uni- ted States, had tried, at Ghent in 1814, to giveto Great Britan the fisheries, the navigation of the Mis- sissippi and a large part of what now forms Minnesota and Dakota, | succeeded in negotiating anew fish. | eries treaty with England in which there is no mention of the rights a~ greed to by His Britannic Majesty | in 1788, but there is an offensive repitition of such phrases as “the | liberty to take fish,” ‘‘any liberty | heretofore enjoyed.” This treaty | is now governing our one-time rights. The negotiations of the winter of 18878 are fresh iv our readers’ memories ; from Mr. Bayard’s em- barrassment over Mr. Chamber- lain’s appointment as “Commisy sioner”? when the Senate bad alx most rejected President Cleve land’s reccommendation for a Uow- missioner early in 1886, down to the rather bitter ending, at which it established by the aid of “the fi- nest type of American since Wash- ington and Lincoln” that Ameri- can fishing vessels should enjoy ua- molested their right to take fish, ouly when having a British number on each side ot their bows and af- ter paying a license of $i50 par ton.

Po FROM NASHVILLE TO CHICAGO. CHANGE OF PLACE FoR THE MEETING OF THE LEAGUES. THE RESULT OF CAKEFUL CONSIDERA~ TION BY REPRESENTATIVES IN VARIOUS STATES AND STRONG SENTIMENT DEVELOPED AMONG THE MEEBERS OF THE LEAGUE— THE DATE REMAINS UNCHANGED, To the Afro-American Leagues:--- The undersigned, anxioug for the suceegs of the meeting of the Afro. American Leagues, called for the 15th of January, 1890, at Nashville, Tenn., after a careful consideration ot the matter, unite in changing the place of meeting from Naghvilie to Chicago, Illinois, the date of meet-| ing to remain unchanged, for the: following reasons, to wit: [1.] We find that avery strong sentiment has developed among the members of the League against meeting at Nashville, because of the inadequacy of botel accommo dations and the difficulty of secur. ing reasonable reduction in rail- road fares, and because it is thought that a fair and impartial report of the session of the Leagues cannot be secured, the press of Nashville being notoriously antag- ouistic to Afro-American citizens, and, lastly, because the Afro-Amer- ican citizens ef Nashville have shown no disposition, individually or collectively, that they desire the Leagues to meet in their city and will make no reasonable and neces- sary preparation for such meeting. [2] We find that the difficulties here set forth will be entirely re~ moved by changing the place of meeting from Nashville Tenn. to Chicago, Illinois, and the change ig so ordered, the meeetings of the Leagues to be at Chicago, IIL, Wedneaday, January 15, 1890, at} 10 A.M. sharp.
