BAGGAGE AND THE COMMON CAR.
RIER.

The decision OF the Supreme Court
in the case Of Silliman VS.. Oceanic
Steamship Company regarding the re-
sponsibility OF common carrier for
the loss of baggage, restates and con-
firms the law on this subject. Travel
ers should understand exactly what 1t
means and what the law requires pas
sengers TO do in protecting Their bag

In the case decided by the supreme
Court, the plaintiff, on visiting the
steamer, saw his yalise lying on the
deck near the door Of the saloon. He
could not find the purser so as to
get the key OF his stateroom, and
shortly afterwards went on shore. The

MIR. SMITHS RESIGNATION.

The single fact that the Attorney
General mas resigned calls for no com
ment beyond that which presents a
full and cordial recognition of his
long, valuable and unstinted services
to the government and people. This
comment will be made hereafter
1t Is most unfortunate incident
that he peremptorily demanded an ac-
ceptance of his resignation for long
time in President Dole's hands, be-
cause of an attack upon himself and
upon Mr.. Dole 10y member Of the
Executive Council.
We cannot state. because We are not
fully informed of. the reasons which
caused this attack. There must have
been. OF course. some strong provoca-
ton that influenced this "wheel-horse"
OF the government to suddenly refuse
to pull any longer with his fellows.
The only public report on the details
of any differences in the Cabinet Is
that which appeared several days
since in an evening journal, contain
ing an interview with one of Mr.. Da-
mons intimates, and in which dra-
matte scene in the Executive chamber
WAS described, apparently by author
ity,' and in which Mr.. Damon repre-
sen,ing Goodness, denounced Mr. Dole,
as representing Wickedncss. The cor
RICHNESS OF the description is reafiirm-
ed by the journal that published It,
As Nv. Damon does not contradict
Il. 1t may be assumed that he for some
good reason endorses the correctness
of the account. Even II he does not
usually notice newspaper stories his
omission to notice this story, under
the circumstances of its publication,
permits and really forces the conclu-
sion that he endorses il.
Neither President Dole nor Mr.. Smith
can contradict the statements made
without precipitating that most irrita-
ting and useless OF all controversies
thai OF the newspaper
We have a suspicion that the report
of that stirring scene in the Executive
chamber, during which President Dole
displayed very low morals, and Min
lister Damon manifested very high
morals. was "doctored" somewhere

delight. II 1t was "doctored' by some

should so state. II is not an uncom-
mon event for Cabinet Ministers to
correct statements which really mis-
lead the public.
II, however, IL is true that Minister
Damon was forced 10 disinfect Presi'

pears, IL the statements are correct, 70

sin, 1t must be sincerely regretted that
after so long period OF service Mr.
Damon has found that his old col
leagues are unworthy Of trust. In this
belief. he may shake hands cordially
with Mr.. ,Sewall. How the idols fall!
No one knows more about the virtues
and faults of his colleagues than Mr.
Damon. He has himself done long

Seppfngs Wright has come across
many curious trades and peculiar
methods of earning a living in his wan
derings through all corners of the
globe, but the business of shotting he
discovered at home, for it is daily pur-
sued under the eyes of thousands of
holiday folks and landsmen generally,
who neither know nor care what the
longshoremen are about in their fish
ing boats a few miles from land. But
these busy workers are engaged upon
the business of Shooting" and the
nature of that peculiar occupation we
will now describe.
All royal navy men training for the
rank of seaman-gunner have to under
take a more or less lengthy term of
regular practice in firing, and for these
men during their period of training
some two or three of the old-pattern
gunboats are set aside. These vessels
are connected with every dockyard,
and while obsolete for battle purposes
make excellent training ships. They
are, of course, fitted with approved
modern weapons, and daily during the
season they carry squads of embryo
gunners to the seaward ranges that lie
outside the Spithead forts. The bear
ings of these practice grounds depend
on the particular conjunction of certain
objects ashore, and the targets are gem
orally placed in shoals where fair
range can be commanded free of traffic.
After busy and noisy period SO
much solid metal has been blazed away
into the sea, and it is this metal that
