ANGLERS ELSEWHERE HELP —_ The substantial interest taken by anglers Protective Association. in the proposed seining of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal for the purpose of saving the bass in its waters and destroying the destructive carp could not be more forcibly illustrated than by the subscriptions being sent to The Evening Star to meet the ex- penses of the undertaking. The high stand- ing of the subscribers as gentlemen and sportsmen is another feature well worthy of remark, and is significant in showing what powerful influence will be exerted in behalf of the other projects and plans now on foot to protect the bass by law.

Poe, president, presiding in the absence of Rev. W. H. Johnson, chairman of these com- mittees, from the city. It was decided that the numerous clubs of the association in the several states be importuned to visit Wash- ington on March 4 to participate in the in- avgural parade, that one uniform be de- cided on for all of the visiting clubs of the association, and that they be informed of the same at an early date; that the ar- rangement for clubs from Tennessee, Ken- tucky and Indiana be left to Prof. W.

Dr. Harban’s Letter. As every one in this vicinity familiar with field and water sport knows, Dr. W. 8. Harban is a representative of the gentle- man sportsman, and is excelled by none as an expert and ardent angler. Consequent- ly the letter in which he inclosed his con- tribution to The Star seining fund yester- Gey will be found more than usually inter- esting. He wrote “To save the black bass in the canal,” as outlined in The Star of this evening. The scheme is an admir- able cne and will no doubt do much to- ward increasing the bass in the Potomac river. I am informed from reliable sources that not less than a thousand bass are an- nually caught or left to die in each of the many pools left in the canal after the water is drawn off in the fall. The trans- fer of so many bass to the waters of the Potomac means so much to the anglers of the District that I am satisfied the call will meet with a ready response from our anglers. Drawing Off the Water. It will be only a few days now when the work of seining the canal will begin, as the water will be drawn off about De- cember 20. The gangs of seine men will be organized in the next four or five days, and meantime Dr. George W. Massamore of Baltimore, who has been so energetic in organizing and carrying ovt the preject, and who will manage it, will come over for a consultation wiih United States Fish Commissioner Brice, Dr. Harban and other gentlemen here who are actively interested in the affair. : The work of actual seining in the pools and ponds will have to be done very care- fully and slowly, so as not to alarm the bass and the carp. Hasty action and noise will have the effect of making the fish hide by burrowing in the mud, and consequently every precaution will be McKinley asking that selection. ——_ 0. P. Morton Post.

He also erdered that veral seines of different lengths adapied to the work be placed at the disposal of the gentlemen, who, under the leadership of Dr. Massamore, will have charge of it. It is probable that General Manager Nicholson will be requesied to postpone the drawing off of the canal water until De- cember 23 or 24, so the men can get to work the day after Christmas ani thus be allowed to enjoy that holiday at home. Hagerstown Anglers to Co-Operate. It will be additionally pleasant for local fishermen to hear that interest in the canal werk is not confined to this city and Bal- timore. Hagerstown is famous for its anglers, who are numerous and expe:t as well. These sportsmen have offered to co-operate actively in the work, and have offered to seine the canal in its entire course through Washington county, pro- vided the Woodmont Club will do the same from its reserve as far down as Hancock. There is no doubt that this arrangement will be made. The Anglers’ Association. Mr. Richard Sylvester’s interview in The Star yesterday in favor of the formation of an anglers’ association here for the pur- pose of seeing that fish-protective laws are properly carried out, which follow the argument of the same tenor by ex-Internal Revenue Commissioner Mil- ler, is finding a responsive echo among spcrtsmen generally, who have been talk- ing it over ever since The Evening Star originally proposed it some time ago. A circular letter is now being prepared, which will be sent to all anglers in this city and the officers of the various clubs here, in Maryland, in Virginia and West Virginia, and when replies are received or- ganization will at once follow. That there is some question about the real necessity of protecting the bass may be seen from the following rumination of Allen and Dr. Wm. E.

Crafts, agent of the God-in- the-Ccnstitution party, now before Con- gress, alleges in a recent number of The Star that ‘the Supreme Court said, on February 29, 1992, in a unanimous opinion (Trinity Church case): ‘This is.a Christian nation. Mr. Crafts is entirely mistaken. The Su- preme Court has uttered no such opinion, unanimous er otherwise, as the most cas- ual inspection of the ‘Trinity Church case would have shown Mr. Crafts. All that the Supreme Court (through Mr. Justice Brewer) alleged was that ‘‘there have been- a great many declarations, unofficial and orgaric, that this is a Christian nation.” This is true, of course. Mr. Crafts and_his folks have made such assertions. early and often. But the Supreme Court was very careful not to indorse that crude opinion. It probably still stands on the declaration made just one hundred years ago in the treaty with ‘Tripoli, at the instance of Geo. Washington and by his ambassador, that “the United States government is not in any sense fougded upon the Christian re- lgion.” A majority of Americans may be Christians—though the census ‘avers that less than a, third of them are—but the na- tion itself has no religious charaeter what- ever, any more than a social club has, oF a fectory, or a railrcad company, because was not made for religious purposes. -It has no function exogpt to promote the sec- ular. welfare of its. citizens..Chureh and state must be sedulgusly kept apart. 4 W.
