There seems to be some delay in putting the bill
for the establishment Of the Lie-Saving Service
upon its passage in the Senate this session. we
hope it will be remembered that 1t does not hoiu
the place of bills which simply protect the financial
interests of the people, This is matter literally OF
life and DEATH The most important clause OF the
bill calls for additional stations the unguarded
portions of the coast, for the lack of which the
frghtful sacrifice Of life took place on the Virginia
and North Carolina coasts last Winter. IL II is
passed this session. these stations can be built and
in operation before next Winter. If delayed until
next session, there is no why these horrors
may not be repeated, and those who delay it Will be
responsible, in great measure, for any loss OF lie
that may occur. Public attention is thoroughly
aroused to this subject now and there is universal
desire that the Government should act generously
in protecting the lives of the people. The Senate
could pass no bill more acceptable to the country
than this, or one which has excited so general an
interest. The public will not bear with patience

There is ground for abundant cOngratula-
ton in the fact that the attempt of the House
to scale down the Army has been finally de-
feated III all its important features. The con-
ference committees have agreed-and the two
houses have assented-tbat the force shall
be left at $4,000 men, and that the whole
question of reorganization, including the pro-
posed enlargement of the functions of the
War Department by the transfer of the In
dian Bureau. shall be referred to the Congress
sional Commission proposed by the Senate.
With vexatiOus Indian war in prospect, this
is a reassuring decision, which will be useful
also as a precedent to be quoted against the
people who will 90 on bowling for reduction.
The controversy is to be revived, for Mr..
Hewitt said as much in the House. But he
omitted to explain how the House had
assured the realization of its views " in
an early future by being beaten from every
important position it had taken.

1t ought to be no more easy for the mem
bers of the Berlin Congress to look in one
another's faces without laughing than it was
for the ancient soothsayers. The announcement
that Russia has entered into secret agree
ment with Austria as well as with England,
reduces the Congress to the level of a conven-
ton for which the candidates and platform
are prearranged There Will still be no lack
of vexatiOus questions if the diplomatists are
willing to discuss them, but the substantial
result Of the Congress is clearly foreshadOwed
in the settlements which Russia, guided by
Germany, has seen fit to make.

1t is to be hoped that the Socialist mass
meetings will continue. The Socialist way of
putting Socialist doctrines is their best anti
dote, and periodical outpouring of grossness
and profanity like that of Saturday night
will serve as an occasional reminder of
the character of these friends of humanity.
One speaker gave an illustration of their sin
cerity in denouncing Nobiling when he said
that they were opposed to the taking of the
o." life of any individual by an individual" but
that 90 for society" they reserved the right to
take the life of any individual. But however
willing these people are to talk about killing,
they are not likely to do any. The manual
labor involved would be an insuperable Objec-
ton.

An Ohio letter, on another page. reviewing
the work of the Republican Convention, shows
in what excellent shape the party begins the
campaign. With sound platform, and can
didates whose records are warranted not TO
explode, with the party well consolidated by
the Democratic attacks upon the President
and with the disgraceful record of the Demo
cratic Legislature as local issue, the prospect
is bright for good news from the Buckeye
State in October. The wisdom with which
points of difference were avoided in this cOun-
ell may furnish moral for Republicans In

Senator Morgan has introduced an amend
ment to the Constitution giving the President
the veto power over any item of an appro-
priatlOn bill. This is one of the instances IN
which the General Government might well
learn something from the States. Wherever
this power has been conferred upon an execu-
tive it has worked admirably, and in this
State it has been the taxpayers best friend.
