Dkaj< Sir,—The suggestion in Saturday's 'rod- " '•'• i", tha the time has ar>i«ed in the nistory of Newfoundland for the elevation <»f the Kisheries ('oimnis- into a regular parliamentary depart? nuntal olliee.is neontmon-setlM on. . The nmst casual observer of the work aecomplislie i by the Fisheries Commi-sion must agr. ■■■ that, with theexeepti in of framing Koles and Reßiilations, th*l instilution hap Dees a complete failure. Whether it is that their powers are so limited as to prevent the aecoutpKshni"iil of an\ good, or whether they have full power and are unable to do more than create laws is a matter for others to decide; but my humble opinion, Mr. Editor, leads 1110 to say that the country need- a Minister ot fisheries, and also a thopmglily organized •» oartim-nt of Fisheries, fee much, if not more so, than it needs a Surveyor General or a Crown Lands' DepHilinent. Mc have many practical men capaile of filling such an important orlice as that uf Minister of Fisheries. 'there is Captain Eli Dawe, whosr cinstitueuts would rejoice to see him turn to : • count his iinelligent views of the needs uf our fisheries—and goodness knows these neejs are many—aud superintend the systematic working of a Department of Fisheries. One of your contemporaries in Sntefdayw issue, writes, regarding the destruction of herring at Sound Island, that it is A Disgrace to our tjoveriimcut, thai such a reckless proceeding as throwing herring overbo»rd, etc., is allowed. Be also says: " We trust that this matter vill receive the early attention of the Legislature, for uur Jlxherif-a urn who to $eri»mJff threat* nul th<ii it. behove* un t» ttikr twrjf poftihh tttp to present ond t>— en-'Ki' t/inn." Regarding ihe throwing of herring overboard at Sound [aland, Mr. Edit4ir, why should (he Government interfere ii the power i« grante<i to Thr M»Mliei'ies CoMtmltMiou? 'I'L- r.is ijuotcil ai.il italicised are true in every respect; and I also trust Ih it. the Legislature will give this matter its serious attention next, session. You have been an advocate of the people's wi«he«, Mi*. I'Mitor. and I think you will publish this, and also endorse the Tr<t4e Hecteuft suggestion. V> ily, PKAt . AL lISHKILMAX. St. John's.
