London ‘.Times -on the Fishery
Question—English Views.
London, November 9.—The Times in
an editorial says: “When wo hear that
publio opinion in tho United States has
suddenly been thrown into a ferment by
the revival of the fishery question, end
that Mr. Erarta bo3 written two vigor
ous dispatches, tho publication of whioh
a couple of weeks before the decisive el
ections has aroused patriotic feelings in a
manner no doubt profitable to the Re
publican party. We can only wonder at
the capacity of being excited by small
things whioh the Americana possess.
Mr. Evert’s dispatohes are concerned
with what aro apparently rather an anti-
quatsd snbjeot, a fiiherman’s quarrel on
tile coast of Newfoundland in January
last, and the payment of the Halifax
award whioh the arbitrators annonnoed
□early twelve months ago. Whatever
may be the oonrso of tho Newfoundland
dispute It can bavo no bearing upon the
payment or nrc-paymeut of the Halifax
award. That most be determined by the
Amerloaa people upon the general princi
ples of honor and equity, aud without
reforenoe to subsequent disputes about
other matters. If they wish to repudiate
the award of the Halifax tribunal, they
msy rest teamed that we shall not go to
war to reoovsr damages. They have,
nothing to fear save the loss of (heir na
tions! self-respect and the nnoompll-
mentary surprise of the old world na
tions.
