enemy" II means that the Republicans
ought 10 nominate the man the Demo-
Gratis are afraid Of. We quote Tuesdays
tribune again:
"The question has passed beyond Mr..
Blaine's reach. What he wants the
country knows. What the Republican
party wants. il will determine in conven-
ton after due consideration. II il finds
candidate upon whom it can unite with
confidence OF success, the nomination
OF that candidate will be heartily made
and supported. But Mr.. Blaine cannot
answer Tor the party on that point, nor
can individual members, until its voters
have expressed their wishes in the Sc
lection of delegates. "
What Mr. BLAINE wants is one thing
that is, permission 10 retire to private
life. What the Republican party wants
is another thing is, Mr.. BLAINE as
its candidate. When you elect yonr
delegates, says the Tribune. express your
wishes in their selection. In other words,
ye Virginia Blineites, send BLAINE
delegates to the Chicago convention.
Read again, rccolecting that it is the
head organ of Mr.. BLAINE that speaks :
"Some people are anxious to know
what Mr.. Blaine's friends propose. The
question is foolish one. Whoever has
his eyes open can see that MIR. Blaine's
friends are much divided. Some of
them prefer one candidate and some an
other some have as yet expressed no
choice, while others have stated that
thev believed the nomination of Mr..
Blaine. in spite of his objection. the
wisest thing that could be done. When
delegates come together. charged with
messages from 5000, 900 voters who are
now, even more than they were in 1884,
friends Of Mr. Blaine, there Will pro-
baby be agreement.
Five million voters are now even moro
than in 1884 friends OF Mr. BLAINE. ~
What will their agreement" be? OF
course it will he that Mr.. BLAINE must
be nominated.
Finally, hear the TTi6WoC:
1T will be held a paramount neces-
sity that the candidate shall be thoroughly
known as a sincere, earnest, and uncom-
promising advocate Of the protection Of
American industries. Any other candi-
date than MIR. Blaine will need, much
more than he would need, the strength
which that principle can give, because
no other has so much of personal popu-
larity or has had for years past 50 much
of the confidence of his party.

The Idfe-Savlnp Service.

The Philadelphia Erenjtg TclcgrGph
in discussing the question of pensioning
members of the Life-Saving Service
who have or may become disabled while
in the discharge of their duty says
"The arguments against the establish
ment of a clvll-service pension list DO not
at all apply to the Life-Saving Service.
The men attached TO that service peril
life and limb as the members of the
clerical force OF the Government do not,
and as a consequence they have righteous
claims on the Government for support
when they are injured, just as their
families have in event OF their death
while engaged in the performance Of
their duties. The Life-Saving Service
has never yet received the recognition at
the hands of Congress that it deserves. "
True. And we shall be pardoned for
stating that the Dispatch was, we he
ieve, one of the first papers in the
country, if not the first to advocate the
establishment Of a life-saving- service
pension-list. Further, we have always
been opposed to civil-service pension
list. No sound argument can be adj
duced in favor of civil-service pensions.
But the brave men who risk life and
limb battling with the winds and waves
in order to save the lives of their fell
lowmen have the strongest posi-
BILE claims upon the Government
for themselves in case of permanent
injury, and for their families i'll case OF
death. Duringsthe stormy months hard
ly a week passes that we do not hear of
some brave deed performed by a life
saving crew. The lfe-savers are exposed
to the most rigorous weather and in
Vulnerable hardships. and their acts of
daring and heroism are seldom per-
formed under that excitement that
tempts men TO venture and blunts APP
probation of the danger involved. AS
n rule, they realize all the peril, and go
to the rescue of a stranded or otherwise
distressed vessel, fully aware that the
chances are many to one that death
awaits them. The recently-published
statistics OF the number of lives and the
amount of property saved by the service
during the year 1887 constitute in them
selves ali argument for life-saving-ser-
vice pension-list that no congressman can
refute.
