The 6ettllns of the Alaska boundary dispute removed tfce chief cause of friction between the United States and its northern neighbor, but It Is not surprising that another less Important disagreement grill exists in respect to the boun <lary. This time the controversy is as to the location of the international line of separation In Lake Erie, and concerns only the fishermen of tha two countries on that lake. The imrue. <!!ate cause of the latest dispute anas the ac tion of th» Canadian authorities In seizins American fishermen for alleged poaching. A number of cases of that kind have occurred in recent years, and the relations between Ameri can and Canadian fishermen have been strained In consequence. This f>eii:ijr, which has at times resulted In hostilities of an irregular sat ere between American and Canadian flshcr inen, is a bad thing for countries which have BO long a boundary line, both on land an£ on tbe Great Lakes, and whoso reasons for peace and friendly intercourse are bo many and so obvious. Most of these difficulties have occurred In the waters of Lake Erie adjacent to Erie, Perm. In the most recent case Secretary Schacht of the Keystone Fish Company disputed the Ca nadian charge of trespassing, absertinjr that the fishermen whose nets end fish were taken were in United States waters. In order to avoid euch disputes In tie future. Commander Dunn. of the Canadian cruiser Vigilant, made an offer to superintend the placing of eat buoys on the international boundary line if the fish company would f.irai:-!} th<» buoys. Manifestly such an act, however well meant, would In itself In volve the very question in dispute, namely. trbera the demarcation line should be drawn, and therefore Mr. Schacht forwarded the offer. together with the views of bis company, to the State Department at Wahhington. An there are forty or fifty boats engaged in the fishing busi ness at Erie, all of which, together with their cfitrh and nets, are liable to be seized by the Canadian patrol in the disputed waters, the subject is one of sufficient importance to de mand, in the Interests of international good will, an early settlement. Acting Secretary of State Bacon, after calling upon the War De partment for Information &a to the boundary lint, invited the attention of the Canadian au thorities to a claim that the maps of the Ghent Commission ere not accurately scaled In Lake Erie. It appears from these maps that Lake Erie was, in fact, put down by the commis don as wider then i: really Is, so that the log gjnjj of tlie tllstaiio fro-ij tl;r» northern to th<* OOUtl» . bLore resulted la an «rverlapj)iji£ in the centre of the lake, thus giving a basis to the skim of tit© Erie flaLenaca that they were lawfully pursuing their calling in American water*. The case, of course, is one for examination and for international agreement, and it has, therefore, been appropriately referred to the International Waterways Commission, with in structions to report the difference. If any. be tween the maps of the Ghent Commission and that of the United States Lakes Surrey. The Canadian Governor General has also Instructed the Canadian section of the commission to make a report on the subject. When these reports have been submitted and considered It Is prob able that the question which has been bo Irri tating to the fishermen of the two countries will be finally and satisfactorily settled, and when It Is settled. it is to be hoped that all fishermen will keep on their own side of the line. THE OFFICE AXD THE JM..Y. It would be difficult to Imagine a more sug gestive commentary than the present campaign In this state affords on the familiar and com mendable principle that the office should seek the man, and not the man the oth'ce. So far as the Republican candidate is concerned, that principle has been abundantly maintained. No body with his senses — including his sense of truth and Justice — about him would ever dream of charging that Mr. Hughes got the nomination because he sought It and worked for it Dur ing most of the time when candidates were be ing considered and plans were being made for the nominating convention he was absent from the country, and was paying no more attention to politics than to the canals of Mars. Down to the very day of the convention there was no general assurance that he would accept the nom ination. The one thing morally certain was that he would not accept it unless it came to him from the whole harmonious party, repre senting, as be believed, the desire of the people of the state. It did thus come to him, and he accepted it. The nomination sought him, and found him, and the office 1b now seeking him, and will find him on November 6. What a oontrast is presented by the Demo cratic candidate: We may confidently reverse what we have Just said of Mr. Hughes, and say that nobody in his senses, nobody who can tell a hawk from a handsaw, dreams of sup posing that Mr. Hearst would ever have got the nomination if he bad not sought it and worked for It and paid for it. For years he has been a notorious office seeker. There never was a more eager self-advertiser. There never has been a politician more ready than he ha *■ shown himself this year to eat hla own words, to be tray his own dupes and to seek office through nil sorts of devious ways and through alliance with "abhorrent and forbidden lorces." He purchased the nomination by means of a bar gain with the very boss who he himself less than a year ago declared should be pent to prison as "the chief criminal of them all," and he is now seeking the office for which he got that tainted nomination through the aid of the agencies which he himself bfi9 declared "have "reduced politics In tbe city of New York far "beneath the plane on which elections are con ducted In even the most lawless Western or "Southwestern communities." It Is easy to believe that if a free vote had been taken among the Republican electors of this state for their candidate for the Governor ship this fall an overwhelming majority of them would spontaneously have declared for Mr. Hughes. Unfavorable as is our opinion of the Democratic party as a whole, we would not do It the monstrous Injustice of supposing that in like circumstances a majority or even any ap preciable minority of it would have declared for Mr. Hearst. That Is simply unthinkable. Mr. Hearst secured that nomination only through his own efforts, supplemented by dishonest and tyrannical bosslsm in the convention, which excluded honestly elected delegates and seated fraudulent pretenders. He Is now seeking the office by means of the fusion which he has made between the Plunderbund and the Slanderbund. We 6haJl 6ee a few weeks hence what the peo pie of New York think of such methods of office seeking. THE SORROWS OF J. B. MORA*. The Hon. J. B. Moran Is hard to please. He Is not satisfied with halfway successes, and seems disinclined to accept the Persian poet's businesslike suggestion about taking the cash and letting the credit go. He wants both the cash and the credit, and the kingdom, the power and the (lory thrown in for good meas ure. One would think that he had had pre ferments enough In politics to glut the most voracious appetite. Starting as a self-nomi nated candidate for the District Attoraeyshlp of Suffolk County, and opposing a nominee sup ported by both the Republican and Democratic parti*-*, he was railroaded Into office a year ago without reason or warning. His election was a huge practical Joke, played by the people < n the politicians. According to Mr. Moran's view, ■ Joke so successful was well worth re peating, and he began to lay plans at once for a reappearance In his role of machine wrecker and boss killer. This time, Instead of standing singly against all parties, he conceived the idea of standing in triplicate or quadruplicate against one party. He would organize a nomination trust and relieve the managers of at least half the political organizations In Massachusetts of the responsibility and worry of running candi dates against him. Mr. Moran has now received three nomina tions. He Is the choice for Governor of the Prohibition party, the Independence League and the Democratic party. He has met the Hon. Joslah Quincy. and the Hon. Joslah is his. The Democratic field marshals who sneered at him as an interloper and derided him as an ama teur are tramping dejectedly In the wake of bis band wagon. Yet Mr. Moran is not happy. Ha Is walking the floor In mental misery, un able to make up his mind whether to accept the honors piled upon him or to quit politics as an ignoble game worth no great thinker's or reformer's candle. What is the fly in the Moran ointment V A thousand guesses have Wn made by perturbed Boston chroniclers, who noted the candidate's failure to appear bo fore the Democratic convention and accept Its nomination, his hurried flight to New York and bis return in gloom and anger. But at last the mystery Is out. Mr. Moran is more than aggrieved by the insertion in the Democratic platform of a resolution extolling the virtues of an eminent Nebraska Democrat, twice the Presidential candidate of his party, and com mending him for a third nomination. This dec laration, the Indignant District Attorney holds, was a hideous blunder, In that it diverted at tention from the real issues and the real figure in the Massachusetts canvass. It was irrele vant, unnecessary and ultra vires, and could have had no other motive than "to injure the "candidacy of the Democratic candidate for "Governor." Wrath can dwell even in celestial minds, and Mr. Moran Is exceedingly wrathful at what he calls the treachery of the Ho . George Fred Williams In rushing through the Bryan Indorse ment resolution. It seems that the candidate to-be wrote a letter to be read to the delegates to the Democratic convention, in which he prac tically forbad- the njnnliin of any opinion concerning Presidential candidates for I'JOS. "No friend of mine." he said, "will attempt to "force such an Indorsement, and the man who "makes the attempt will thereby brand himself "as my enemy." But the letter was somehow suppressed, and the Bryan resolution was rushed through as in addendum to the platform Just before adjournment Mr. Moran may be right m thinkin.' that there i» not room enough in or on any Massachuaetu nlatforra for himself NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 12. 190^ and Mr. Bryan. Whether ho rung or not. we foresee a dismal future for the Massachusetts ■tBtMHMsi who failed to recognize that where Monm sits Is now and always will be the head of tfi«> table. THE JUDICIARY. The Republican Judiciary Convention took the honorable and expedient course last night of ac cepting, with a single change, the candidates selected by the Judiciary Nominators. The members of the lawyers' committee would doubt less have been In general better pleased if there had been no variation whatsoever from their list but we are convinced that It was wise and eminently appropriate to name Judge Rosalsky for the place on the General Sessions bench which he now occupies by appointment. He was warmly recommended when a vacancy occurred by a large number of highly esteemed lawyers. Including some of the Judiciary Nominators themselves ; his record Is excellent, and he en joys a large measure of personal popularity. He has won this general faror cot by arts which Bhould cause anybody to regard his candidacy with misgivings but by the manifestation of qualities deservin? to command universal re spect. His nomination will, therefore, add legit imate strength to the ticket, and can arouse no reasonable opposition. We have not been unmindful of the feeling of many Republicans who are solicitous to pre serve the honor and Independence of the bench that the Judiciary Nominators showed some lack of discretion In their procefdiugs, and especially that. In the very uct of professing absolute non partisanship, they carefully took political con siderations into account, to the prejudice of the Republican part\. But. nevertheless, we have thought and Raid that, on the whole, the ticket of their selwtion was eminently respectable, and nothing could be clearer than the fact that in personnel and In the method of Its creation It shines by contrast with the result of the obnox ious deal on the Judiciary which Murphy and Hearst have carried out. If the temper of this community In respect to the administration of Justice remains what events have heretofore shown It to be. that offensive, combination of the boss and the demagogue to lower the character of the bench will be rebuked In (in exemplary manner at the polls. CO-EDUCATION. The importance of the action of the author ities of the University of Chicago In moving for a separation, both social and academic, of the sexes In that Institution should not be overestimated by either the advocates or the opponents of co-education. It is. in fact, so slight as to be almost Insignificant, despite the commanding size and rank of the Institution concerned. It Is understood that the step Is taken on grounds of administrative policy alone, anil not through necessity Imposed or suggested by any untoward Incident or any ominous de velopment of the system which has hitherto prevailed. The only .specific reason given thus far for the change Is that less publicity is de sired for the university. That is a desire wfth which Judicious observers will sympathize, for there Is no doubt that, for no fault of its own, that university has been sensationally exploited In a w»iy not conducive to good. The fantastic tales of the dcings of Its students and the say- Ings of its Instructors which have been Invented snd circulated have been numerous and, we doubt not, annoying. Whether the much desired abatement of tl:f>m will be secured by the change of policy now adopted Is a question which time jind experience alone can answer. The ugomenti for and against co-education remain wrbera they were and where they have been erer since Horace Mann went to Yellow Springs. Example* on both sides abound. Sum*' of the best college* in America are ex clusively for men or for women. On the other hand, tome of the best, not only in the West but in tbe East, have long practised some form of co-education with approved success. Perhaps the whole question Is best to be regarded chietiy as one of individual temperament. There are many young men and young women who prefer in (vllega life to associate chiefly with their uwn bex, and to seek or to recelvo the compan ionship of the other sex as an external excep tion to tho ordinary routine. Othen as reason ably rod legitimately prefer that daily min gling of tho sexes In the ordinary activities of life which prevails normally in the family and in non-academic society. We cannot perceive that either side has eauso to cast the contumelious stone at the other. Tho really Important question is not whether \es shall .avc co-education per se, but whether they phall have that approximate equal ity of education or of educational opportunities which it was formerly assumed could be se cured only through co-education. It was to se cure for women emancipation from Mrs. Mala prop's curriculum, and to Pi-cure for them equal educational advantages with men, at least as imi-h as to have them educated In the same institution witb men, that norace Mann labored at Antioch College. Co-education was not in Itself tho end at which he aimed, but the means to the true end, which was the higher education of women. There had not then been developed tho separate colleges for women which now exist, with curricula comparable with tboM of tho best men'i colleges, and In which is largely realized the tun of the co-«du catlon.-tli.sts of two or tlirc> generations ago. Much of that aim Is also realized In those insti tutions, which Include some of tbe foremost In the land, which conduct colleges for women part pansu with those for men. under the same general control, but in all other respects and de tails entirely separate — the pystein which, we understand, is now to be practised at Chicago. TbeM distinct classes of institutions have long existed, and have enjoyed much prosperity and success, ami they will doubtless continue to do w>, quite regard]^* of the changing of an indi vidual Institution from one class to another. TREES J.V CITIES. There Is reported from Newark the novel pro ceeding of the tax sale of more than 150 lots of property for arrears of taxes because the owners have not paid the special tax of recent imposition for the planting of shade trees. Borne owners dispute the Justice and constitu tionality of the law. Some deny that the trees add to the value of their property. Some say they did not want the tre^s put there. It Is said that the authorities are prosecuting the sales In a listless and perfunctory manner, merely in order to comply with the law, and are taking no real Interest In the matter. It would seem upon the face of it that a city or state Is competent to require tbe planting and maintenance of trees along highways, Just as it Is to require thf construct io.; and maintenance of sidewalks. The ujH-stiou is whether trees are so necessary or so desirable for the public wel fare as to make such a requirement expedient. On this point we must recognise differences of opinion. Some are stTOUgly in favor of shadt; trees along city streets, for beauty, for shade and fur the sanitation of the atmosphere. Oth ers are squally strong against them, because of the litter which the leaves make and because they regard shade as unhealtbful. One thinj?, however, seems Inril-putable, that if we urc to have tress wa should treat them seriously. They should be I'liuit.-d .aid cured fur with discretion. They should be protected from Injury by tbe police and other authoritieu Just as scrupulously as any other property. Now. If a boy breaks the glass in a street lamp he Ir punished for it if he Is caught, but If he breaks a branch fr»m a tree or peels off the bark from tfm trunk no attention is paid to it — It Is "only a tr.f." Whatever be Ibe flap! judgment i-oii cerniiij,' w-- streets, there can be bo fMSdon that mutilated and halt dead trees. such as a large u-ro portion of those In the streets of this city now are, are of Ittle value for any purpose. Mr. Hearst has hard work swallowing the Murphy end of his tlckst. but It Is nothln* IS iho effort Murphy must have made to swallow the head.

A state commission on Industrial education has just been appointed by Governor Guild ot Massachusetts. Professor Paul IL Hanus, head of the department of pedagogy of Harvard, is president, and among tho other members— there are five In all— are A. L. Fllene, one of the pro prietors of a large Boston department store, and Mrs. Mary Morton Kehew, of tho Women's Industrial and Educational Union. Tho appoint ment of tho commission is a sequel to tho Inter esting report, noticed some months ago in these columns, of the temporary commission named last year to investigate educational conditions In Massachusetts. Professor Hanus and his colleaprues are emoowered. with a view to the correction of defects Cfrom tho Industrial point of view) In tho present public school system, to initiate and superintend the establishment of industrial schools In such municipalities as may consent to co-operate with the commission. In view of the dearth of Intelligent native workers of tho higher erades In Massachusetts, it seems likely that the suggestions of the commission will be gTatefully received and acted upon In several industrial centres. The Cuban amnesty is like charity in one re spect. It covers a multitude of sins and sinners.

Colchester Is England's great oyster fishery, and so much of the wealth and fame of the place Is de rived from the Industry that the season Is opened with much ceremony. "The city fathers sail to the fishing ground, and the Mayor formally assists In raising the first dredge of bivalves. Afterward, In fulfilment of an ancient custom, there is a luncheon, at which the distinctive luxury Is ginger bread washed down with raw gin, a combination which, a London paper assumes, will fix the event In memory for several days." Divorce Law Suggestion.— A clergyman was rail- Ing against divorce. "We ought to have the di vorce law that was enforced In ancient Greece," he Bald. "If that old Greek clause was tacked to every separation, I am persuaded that divorces would fall off *> to 7C per cent. "This law was that when a man got a divorce he could not under any circumstances marry an other woman younger than his ex-wife. "An Innocent law, a brief law— not much to look at— but how many divorce siUts would be nipped In the bud If all husbands knew that after the sep aration they could not marry younger women than tho wives they had cast off?"— Philadelphia Bul letin.

Oct. 11.— Senator 3t>ooner called on the President this morning and discussed Cuban affairs and the general political situation. Mr. Spooner deprecates the talk of Cuban annexation.

Hearst objects to the nominees for s««.a on the JOench of the State Supreme Court who ' -aje been put forward by a large body of &yn ,a the ground that some of them may have d ***Jtl ommended by corporations, and In the 214 w*-» designates nominees of his own for the same se»» who will owe their nominations to the three corpo* rations which he personlaea.
