PRESERVE THE DTCKS.

The members of spoTtsmen's clubs and others
interested in the preservation Of wild fowl VIII
do we'll to be their guard TO prevent the
spring shooting bill from sliding through the
Senate in the hurry of the last hours OF the
session. The measure has already passed the
Assembly. The Forest. Fish and Game Com
mittee of the upper house, several members Of
which have comprehensive views on the sub
1ect of game protection is holding the BILL be-
lieying II to be q bad one, but there is never
any certainty that in the last rush special in
terests which push bills of this kind may not
override Il committee.
This measure has been up from time to time
ever since spring shooting Of all birds except
brant was forbidden 1t applies only to Long
Island, where an open season for ducks is to
be provided from March Is to May l, whereas
now ducks can be killed only from Septem-
Der l TO January /. But in opening the door
to spring shooting on Long Island the Dill would
not merely be affecting sport in that locality.
1t would injure shooting in other parts Of the
State and in other States, and sportsmen in gen.
eraI have reason TO be concerned. The ducks
fly northward each spring along the Atlantic
Coast and one of their principal routes is across
Long Island, where they pause for rest and
food Another chief avenue is up Chesapeake
Bay. The birds have mated before their ar
rival, and their slaughter just at the beginning
or the breeding season Is almost as serious q
menace 10 the species shooting after the eggs
are laid or while the young are IN need of care.
Maryland has recognized the obligation TO pro-
tect the ducks at this season while they are in
her borders and all along the Atlantic Coast,
except In New-Jersey and Connecticut, spring
shooting is forbidden as part of a uniform pol
icy. 1t would be unfortunate TO have New
York retrograde in this matter.
The pressure for the open season comes main
" from Long Island hotel and boarding house
keepers and other persons interested in prOmot-
ing the excursion business Spring shooting
would call great numbers of persons from this
city to their resorts at otherwise dull time.
1t would likewise be of service to pot hunters.
Perhaps these persons think that the baymen Of
New-Jersey are getting the better of them,
and are ready for temporary profit to exter-
inmate the ducks; but disinterested persons can
not consent 10 any such thing. Some Of the
advocates Of the bill whisper that the State or
ganization promised them this favor in return
for some political activities and that they must
have their pound of iesh-ducks fesh-but we
do not believe the party managers had so little
sense of their responsibility of the public
welfare as to make any such bargain. Even
If anybody assumed to promise influence for
such a measure the legislature is under no OBJ
legation to yield TO It. but is rather bound to
make such promises Of effect.

ALBANY'S DUTY TO NEW-YORK.

There will be officially disclosed this evening
at Albany, there has already been unoftcially
disclosed, an urgent duty of the State govern
ment toward the city of NewYork. There will
be presented to tie legislature report on the
results of the investigation which committee
of that body has been making into the condi-
tons of lighting in this city. Tammany mem
bers, once more exposing the utter insincerity
of their former pretences Of hostility to the
lighting monopoly, succeeded in postponing the
presentation of the report at Albany from Sat
urday until to-day. But they will not be able
to postpone it longer, nor probably be able to
delay action upon the report more than few
DAYS Whether the legislature adjourns this
week, or not until next month, before doing so
it should enact a measure which will relieve
this city from unjust burdens imposed by the
monopoly
The precise terms of such a measure may
form a proper subject of deliberation, though
the recommendations Of unusually cOmpe-
tent committee indicate the general lines on
which remedial legislation should be drafted.
One Of them should be adopted without dis
senting voice That is the recommendation
that authority be given to this city to utilize its
own water power for the generation of cleo
trical energy for the cty's USE so far as ex-
perience may show the wisdom of that munich
pal undertaking. The success of any scheme
of municipal lighting depends largely upon the
cost of power. In its water supply system this
city has or will have, ample power at the low
est possible COST power, too, that II not thus
used will be wasted The city should have au-
thority thus TO use its water power, because
that power belongs to 1t, and the city has
natural right to the use of its own property;
because in doing the city would be doing
only what private corporation would be freely
permitted 10 do; because it is poor business pol
icy TO let valuable water power run to waste
when it is needed and can be utilized; because
such freedom to dispose OF its own might great
" benefit the city and would injure nobody.
To accomplish that object will require the
drafting of no new law. 1t will require moth
ing but the Storation of a provision TO the
Mayors water bill, possibly with slight verbal
notifications and then the enactment of that
measure 1t is understood that agreement is
already assured for all parts of the Mayors
bill save that one provision. which was dropped
bv Republican leaders because tho Stevens COM
mittee was expected TO deal with that phase of
the subject That was the view which Gov
ernor Higgins was reported to take. The Ste
yens committee has dealt with it. by practically
advising the restoration and enactment Of that
provision of the Mayors bill, and the Repub-
lican majority in the legislature can scarcely
do better than TO adopt the recommendation of
its own committee.

under loom Pauls' reign. The legislature Is
to contain nine appointed members, 1t is true.
but it will contain thirty elected members, who
Will Of course. be able TO dominate the body.
The chief grievance Of the Beers VIII doubt
less be that the finances are for the present 10
be controlled by the Governor But that as we
have said. Is n temporary arrangement. Ever
since the war the finances have been controlled
nv the Governor, but there has been little room
for complaint either Of excessive taxation or
of inadequate appropriations for public works.
1t will not be an intolerable hardship If the
same arrangement is continued for another year
or two The object of the British government
is to postpone complete autonomy until the two
races are more perfectly welded together, 80
that party lines will be drawn on other issues
than those of race That would seem to be
prudent policy, and at the present rate of prog
ress its complete fruition should not be long
postponed.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

In the May number of "Cassler's Magazine"
Day Allen Wiley throws some new light on
an old subject. Occasionally an American
writer, in discussing the greater sacrifice of
life on railways in this country than Is re-
ported in the United Kingdom, dilateS upon
the fact that many more miles of track are
operated here than there. This, however, is
not the proper basis Of comparison. as The
Tribune has more than once remarked. The
only fair way to ascertain whether travel is
less dangerous on one side of the Atlantic than
on the other is to find out if possible the total
number of passengers transported, and then
see what is the ratio between this and the num-
Der of travellers killed. Now, Mr.. Wiley de-
clareS that, exclusive of communication service,
there were sold in England, Wales, Scotland
and Ireland 1.194000000 tickets in the year
1903, or nearly 500000O00 more than in the
United States, That is to say. the persons car
ried in the one case exceeded those in the other
in the proportion of about twelve to seven, and
yet only twenty-five British passengers were
killed that year to 321 Americans. Had the
traffic here equalled that in the United King
dom. and had the mortality rate been main
tanned. the actual loss Of life would have been
$50, or twenty-five times as great as in Great
Britain This is notifying exhibit but
less discreditable to America than the returns
for 1904, when, according to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, 1,O44 passengers were
killed.
variety of causes for this sacrifice are point
ed out, but Mr.. Wiley considers the rear end col
lision the most potent factor in the problem.
AS a possible means of relief, that writer pro-
ceeds to describe the block system, which has
been installed more extensively on British roads
than in America. Still. he does not believe that
even the block system will insure perfect safe
~. He argues at great length TO show that the
engineer has many duties which require
attention inside the cab that there Is danger
of overlooking signals occasionally. He would
adopt means which will appeal to the ear as
we'll TO the eye. He also suggests the en-
ployment of n third man every locomotive
whose duties shall be those of lookout That
change of practice seems to him the more de-
sirable because some fast engines parti-
ton has been introduced which separates the
engineer and f1remen, and keeps the latter from
aiding the former to the same extent was
once customary. Mr.. Wiley makes no refer
ence to the habit which a few American en-
gineers are said to have of running past sig
nails wilfully when behind time. Had he taken
cognizance of this abuse. he might have recon-
mended the addition OF automatic stops to the
signalling equipment To many minds that
seems to be the most effective way to avert
rear end collisions.

IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.

IFS an I'll wind that blows nobody good;
and In the excessive inflow of immigration
from Southern Europe, which causes misgiv-
sngs elsewhere, the Southern States see
chance 20 improve the far from satisfactory
conditions which rule in their present labor
market. THE New-Orleans sDemocrat"
takes hopeful view Of the movement now or
panizing in the South 10 divert TO the cotton
fields and the rice and sugar plantations OF the
f,ulf States the immigration which has hitherto
gone 10 the Pennsylvania coal mines or has
stagnated in a few Northern cities. 1t thinks
that with proper effort the Italians and Hun
garians who swarm to our ports by the hur-
sired thousands can be induced 10 take to labor
on the plantations under conditions of climate
10 which they are accustomed and at wages
which measured by the cost of living, are as
remunerative as any attainable IN the Northern
States The Italian government, 1t Is an
nounced, recently sent a commissioner to this
country TO investigate the Southern labor mar
ket, and the Italian Ambassador at Washing
ton has also personally interested himself in
examining the Southern field. Their reports are
understood to have been highly favorable, and
several Southern States are now taking steps
90 attract immigration either through agencies
in this city or by direct immigrant traffic to
Southern ports.
Says The Times Democrat:
There is room for thousands of italian agri-
cultural laborers in the South at better wages
than they have ever obtained in their native
country. and there is domestic employment for
thousands OF others in the cities where negro
help has become entirely unreliable and un-
trustworthy. . There is room for all IN
the uncultiVated portions Of the South In it's
mines and its timber Industries AS an agrt-
cultural laborer the Italian has been tried in

SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT.

Lord Miners scheme Of government for the
Transyaal does not escape criticism. Some, es-
pecaly Beers who have transformed them
selves into Ultlanders In other countries, are
bitterly denouncing 1t as a betrayal 1t is moth

time was set for the granting OF entire auton-
omy. Surely. 1t is not bad faith to grant par
taI autonomy before such time as the full meas
ure may be possible.
AS an earnest Of the final settlement Lord
