A TRAP FOR A TRAP.

The American salmon Gamers of Puget Sound
are unreasonably excited lest their industry be
destroyed by their Canadian neighbors, who
threaten to repeal the law forbidding the use
Of traps off the Vancouver Island shore of the
Strait of San Juan de Fuca. II this should
happen they would have only themselves to
blame. Their loud protest against the outrage
contemplated by the unfriendly Canadians who
would so place their traps that practically
salmon would reach American waters suggests
the retort which the French minister made to
the prayer for the abolition of the death pen
atty. Let messieurs the assassins commence"
If the Washington fishermen and Gamers do
not want the fisheries depleted by the use Of
traps which capture salmon by the thousands,
let them cease on their own part to set traps.
They are now by their own confession doing
their best to sweep the waters of Puget Sound
With their largest canning plant on the GLOBE
with its forty traps which catch fish faster than
they can be marketed-so much so that fifty
thousand were released at one time from the
nets and allowed to swim on for q sea son be-
cause the Gamers did not know what to do
with them-tbey have been playing the un-
neiShborly party. Naturally they have been

SURGEONS WHO SUCCEED.

The victories Of present day surgery include
a considerable number Of stalwart waIkabouts
whose dislocations OF spinal vertebre would
have been counted fatal cases of broken
necks not long ago. The wonders that the fore
most experts in reparation now accomplish COM
prise the stitching together Of the outer frame
work Of the heart itself. That almost Incredible
triumph of the operating table has been ac-
complished recently, and the result. while not
wholly successful, was at least encouraging
The man or woman who loses a part of the
brain in railroad accident need not despair
American surgeons-and there are no better
or ADLER now on this planet-have so bravely
delved into the recesses of all the contents
of the skull that they do not hesitate to
take away formidable percentage Of what
the cranial cavity contains If they are convinced
that so radical an operation affords the only
reasonable chance Of saving life. Modern sur
gerry is not only daring beyond every possible
boundary OF tradition, but it is also so beneficial
that the limits Of ancient precedent become
matters of little account

WORK FOR THE TUNNEL.

If ANYBODY was really seriously considering
q proposition to grant outright by act of the leg
tslatyIre a tunnel franchise to the Pennsylvania
Railroad he has been set straight by the Gov
ernor We cannot believe that such scheme
would have had any standing in the legislature,
hut even the discussion of it by irresponsible
persons las been calculated 10 do harm. 1t
fended 70 awaken the stubbornness OF the op-
ponents Of the franchise and also 10 divert at
-enrion from the simple issue here in the Board
of Aldermen. which can settle the question
right If it will and which perhaps in spite OF
appesrap noes is not entirely superior TO the infiu
ence of public opinion if properly applied.
OF course. an outright grant of a city fran
cbise by the State is not TO be thought of. If ii
is ever necessary 10 rescue the city from alder
men who are patiently false to their trust. the
powers which they misuse may be lodged with
other local officials like these composing the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment, but not
tsken away from the city altogether. 1t is pos
sIble that such legislation concerning franchises
may be forced. but a resort TO charter amend
menrs to meet special exigeneies should rarely
Ire taken. and only in case of extreme need. At
any rate, it is not vet time TO seek such rem
edy. or even TO hold out hopes OF it which
might lead opponents Of the present plan to ex-
cuse themselves for blocking it on the ground
that the improvement would be secured in
some other way and possibly on terms more to
their satisfaction. Let stick right to the
point and exert every possible pressure TO in
duce the obstructing aldermen to yield TO pub
lie opinion and permit the construction of this
great work for the city's benefit
This is not the first time that public officials
have seemed bent on thwarting the public WILL
and on more than one occasion that will has
mapd obedience. We do not believe thera Is a
single alderman entirely deaf to popular opin-
ION, and certainly there are forces not vet
brought into play which could win over enough
men TO grant the franchise. Perhaps there are
wise men who have the confidence Of the labor
unions who could convince them of the folly
from their own point OF view of their present
attitude Let the to whom they have
turned for advice and for service arbitrators
in time OF labor disputes seek to enlighten these
organizations and teach them to take larger
view of their own interests. If they succeed
the chief refuge Of the opposing aldermen will
be captured. They now think they have the
labor vote SO deluded as TO support them in de-
priv1ng this city OF opportunity for increased
prosperity which must benefit labor. and IL
they 6nd hboreFs take the side OF every other
element at the population and want to see MILL
Ions spsut here for Improvements and TO have
thA congestion which makes comfortable homes
dear relieved, they viii seen discoeer that they
were for the franchise all the time

driving the Canadians who had rights on the
other side of the same waters to despair. The
latter must feel little we did when the
Canadian sealers took advantage of the privi-
Ieges of the high seas to kill the mother seals
from our islands. thereby threatening the total
destruction of the seal herds In desperation
we talked of slaughtering the herds on the ISL
ands altogether. The Canadians now talk of
adopting our own murderous fishing practice
as the only method Of getting their fair share
of the salmon. If they ruin our industry that
is no more than we promise to do TO theirs. If
they exterminate the fish altogether they will
only be stepping in TO take from the ten-
porary profits of the extermnating business.
The American Gamers have perfectly sim
pie remedy for the impending trouble. The
Canadian law at present prohibits the use of
traps and there is no likelihood of its being
changed except by way of retaliation. Let the
use of traps in the waters of the United States
the same prohibition is enforced across the
boundary. Then there will be danger of
anybody exterminating the salmon. Our can
neries may not be so glutted with fish that they
can set free fifty thousand at time. but they
can secure a reasonable supply. if necessary,
bv giving a livelihood to more legitimate fisher
men, and their industry will last longer At
present they may be making a tremendous
temporary profit. but with reckless improvi-
dence they are extermnating the source of
their own wealth. A resort to traps by the
Canadians might hasten a little their reckon
ing but it would not make the end any more
