WORSE THAN FooLmH

Senator Piles attack on the Canadian pscidc's Alaskan service is Woise than foolish. His bill would be futile and for that reason tooHsh.It 1t were made effective it would be opposed to the best interest of the people served by the company ard for that reason worse than foolish.
 If shs Csssdian Pacific were com pelled to quit selling through tickets to Seattle 1t could not be stopped from selling them to Vancouver, and 1t could demand the PriYelsgs of the steamship association of selling them at A lower price than the other companies charge to Seattle, It could and would con tinus to do business st the old stand
 But the principle involved in this at tempt to cuTtAil trade is it's Uorst feature. What the intsrStS of Alaska and the Pacific coaIt generally demand more than anything slse is better tGeili- ties for trade. The man who attempts to throw obstacles in the way Of freer trade is not working iu tho inter . est Of the general good.
 In the meantime it would be well for the Canadians to reduce tolls on AmsrI' can vessels calling At Canadian ports.
