The biggest salmon "pack on record was in 1913, when there was an output of 8,063,000- cases. Last year there was a drop to 6,064,- 000 cases, while two years hence the recurrent "big runs" will probably shove the figures up another notch. The Hon. T.

Lincoln paid no attention to such hollow noise. Though himself a great pacifist, he saw no meaning in the word "peace" if it, meant a peace of slavery more cruel than war. "No living man," he said, "loves peace more than 1 do, but il may be necessary to put the foot down (irmly. The only call! nf humanity now is to conquer' peace through unrelenting warfare. War, antl war alone, is the duty of us all." That is the way any man with a spire in him andi a conscience in him feels now in this country. Influential persons, especially! as the civil war dragged on in | 1864, urged Lincoln to treat. He' was ready enough to treat, but i,nly on his own terms, the terms, that had to be met sooner or later, "the integrity of the whole1 Union and the abandonment of I lavery." Mr. Asquith similarly! lias stated our terms—the end of j 1'i-ussianism and the union of | I imanity in justice and national freedom. Then will be peace.
