WORK FOR REVENUE CUTTERS.

A number of Pacific Coasters" have
addressed circular letter to The CALL
and we presume to other journals, from
which we make the following extract:
We beg 10 call your attention to the number OF
Government vessels In port that are lying idle
at the lime when their services are most re-
CURED, and would say that the revenue steam
ers stationed on the Atlantic coast receive or.
ders the 1st OF December each year TO cruise
actively along the coast during the stormy
months for the purpose Of relieving vessels In
distress and rescuing shipwrecked sailors. We
think the revenue steamers on this coast should
have Instructions to do the same, as the lives OF
many seamen would be saved each year and
much valuable property would be saved from
destruction; The steamers Maggie Ross Marie,
&. W. Wetmore and City of Puebla, and the
bark General Butler have recently had some ex-
perience IN Pacific Coast storms, and loss OF
life and property has resulted, and If the reve-
nue. steamers had been cruising along the coast,
as on The Atlantic side, some lives might have
been saved.
The suggestion made is possibly srbject
TO amendment. Would it not be better to
allow revenue cutter to lie in the harbor
subject to call to active duty than to send
them on cruise up and down the coastp
The Life-saving Service keep the coast pa
trolled along its most dangerous points and
is the first to be informed of the locality and
condition of vessels in distress. Certainly,
idle revenue cutters. acting in cooperation
with the Life-saVing Service, should realty
increase the efficiency of the life service.

IN A NEW YORK MISSION.

After ''Lights QUIZ They Started to 'fHoof
1t Aroun' an Wait for Mornin'''
1t was whistling cold night outside.
Every Ineomer brought with him a rush of
chilled air that caused the occupants Of the
rear seats to shiver and scowl reproach-
fully, for the atmosphere of the hail had
reached an almost tropical warmth. In the
center of the left aisle stood great old
fashioned stove, says the New York Com
mercial, ana close beside it, at the end of
one of the long, hard benches, sat two
ragged and frowsy men.
Upon the platform stout and placid
faced woman was reading a selection from
some religious book. but the two men stared
hard at the clock, which licked upon the
wall above her head, and seemed to follow
the outward sweep of the slender minute
hand with their entire attention.
At last one Of them leaned over and spoke
to the other IN nOarse whisper
Only tree minlts more, Bill, +" he said.
The wind charged upon the windows and
nearly ratified them out of their sashes Bill
shivered suggestively and gazed regretfully
AT the glowing stove.
''Wots it t'nite Bill?' Gueried the first.

reflectively answered Bill, where it wuz
warm, but sum cuss has spiked der door"
The minute was but few seconds from
$3.50. and the singers were clearing their
throats for the final psalm. Bill drew SO
close to the fire that his tattered sleeve
began TO smoke.
''Shall we work der station-hus?" aueried
number one.

"Jes' hoof it aroun' an wait fur mornin'."
The singing was soon over and the un-
kempt congregation began to shuttle street.
ward. Bill and his partner fingered to the
last, lowering lovingly around the stove and
indulging in antlcipatory shivers until the
attendant began to turn out the lights.
Then, with muttered oath or two, they
drifted out to 'hoof it aroun' an wait for
mornin' -

THE OUTCOME IN NEW YORK.

Governor Hill did not hold on to the Office
Of Governor after his election as Senator
for nothing. When the returns from the
November election came in the Senate was
reported Republican by three majority.
some of the Senators reported elected had
received small majorities. The work of
searching for Irregularities which would
warrant throwing out sufficient precincts to
change the result was commenced forthwith.
1t was carried on with degree of success
which seems to warrant the Democratic
hope that New York has been redeemed
= Hereafter" says one of the jubilant
Democrats, 1.-The Republican party in this
State Will be a dream of the past" The
decision Of the Court of Appeals, which
has given New York Democrats SO much
satisfaction, is doubtless based upon tech
ncalities. An example Is found in the
declaration that Sherwood. Park Commits
sioner of an interior city, was Ineligible on
account of his local Office. Probably some
law will be found for this decision; at all
events. it rules out a Republican Senator
who was undoubtedly elected. In another
case in which Democrat has been seated,
it was discovered that liquor had been sold
contrary to law in Republican precinct
while the vote was being polled. Tue law
is good one and should be observed, but
its enforcement in this particular case seems
to have cost the Republicans Senator.

Is CANADA COMING

Labouchere answers this question in the
affirmative. 1t is the manifest destiny OF
the Dominion, he says, to become a new
United States. or a part Of the Great Re-
public. Labouchere thinks the position of
Canada as a dependency of Great Britain
somewhat grotesque. The loss of Canada
would be benefit to Great Britain and
good thing for Canada itself. He does not
say whether the United States would be
benefited by the acquisition of Canada,
probably holding that the United States is
capable OF taking care of its own interests.
The Independence OF Labouchere is re-
ouke to the timid politicians of Canada who
hold that political union with Great Britain
and commercial union with the United
States are possible. These Canadian .ime-
servers advocate policy they make no
attempt 10 explain in detail. to avoid the
imputation of being disloyal to the mother
country. 1t Is quite probable that the
editor of 1rutt is correct in his estimate of
the loyalty of Australians and Canadians

THE STATE AT CHICAGO.

There are few journalistic malcontents
in the northern and southern parts of the
State who have apparently persuaded them
selves and now seek to persuade others
that the people of tins State are anxious for
a division of its territory. These papers are
just now busying themselves in the effort to
awaken a sentiment in favor of distinct
sectional exhibits at Chicago, instead OF a
general exhibit by the State, calculated to
show advantageously its wonderful re-
sources.
The papers advocating such sectional dis
plays can hardly realize what the result
would be to the interests they profess to
serve. Sectional jealousy has probably
operated as much as any other one influence
to retard the progress of this State.
Already California's reputation has suffered
abroad through the petty strifes that this
feeling has engendered within our borders,
and for north or south, coast or interior to
take any sectional action in the matter of
our Worlds Fair exhibit wond be an al r
ing of this family squabbe before the world
inevitably detrimental to the welfare of the
State
What is needed is friendly emulation
between all sections, tending to produce in
unison an exhibit that shall justly represent
our proud State as a whole. Anything less
than this will work US serious injury in the
eyes of the world.
With a united people and harmonious
action between the different sections Cali
fornia can make such showing of natural
products and resources in Chicago in '93 as
no other country can do. To achieve this,
however, will require the combined efforts
Of the entire State and every loss Of energy
in the effort to put forward any particular
section must result prejudcially, not
merely to the State, but to that particu lar
section as well.
of the action Of the Horticultural Society
in seeking to form northern Worlds Fair
Association seems to be that the proposed
association is to have for its object the en-
cheering of an exclusively Northern Cali
fornia exhibit. If this be true, the quicker
the people understand the matter and
quash the project the better it will be for
southern one working tremendously to-
gether could bring about admirable results
in making the State exhibit an adequate
and harmonious whole, but auy movement
having for its object the exhibition of the
products of one part of the State in rivalry
with those of another should be promptly
discoun tenanced. Those who, on February
18th next attend the convention called for
the formation of a northern association
should understand distinctly just what
object such an association has in view.

A LOVERS DEVOTION.

An Armless Young Lady Finds Consola-
tion at the Altar.
One OF the strongest cases of love and de-
votion which has ever taken place in Ohio
was exemplified recently in Killbuck Town
ship by the marriage of Mr.. Alvin Nitsche,
German aged 80 years, and Miss Lille Nj
Lowe. aged II years. Nitsche was a devoted
lover OF Miss Lowe in 1899, when she was
only 10 years old, and when she met with
the horrible accident while driving a now
lng-machine, in which she was thrown be-
lore the cutter-bar and both arms were cut
oil. She fingered between life and death
for long time, but eventually got past
danger. She feared her lover would desert
her on account of her affection, and this
gave her much uneasiness; but she mis-

WONDERFUL NERVE.
w. II. Lusk Lost His Right Hand
Without q Murmur.

A case of unusual physical courage and
fortitude was seen at the Receiving Hos
pital yesterday morning w. R. Lusk, en-
ployed in the carriage factory Of O'Brien &
Sons, at the corner of Polk street and
Golden Gate avenue, was trying to place
belt upon rapidly revolving pulley, when
his sleeve was caught by the thumb screw,
drawing his right hand into the wheel, re-
sulting in that member being severed from
the arm just above the wrist.
Lusk with his left hand bound his right
arm to stop the flow OF blood, walked into
the office and told his employers, laughing
at the time, that they had lost hand"
showing his bleeding stump as evidence.
The patrol wagon was called and the in
jured man was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital
He walked from the wagon and climbed
upon the operating-table without assistance
and laid there for an hour without mur-
muir, until he could recover sufficiently
from the severe shock to his nervous sys-
tenn to stand the additional shock of having
the arm amputated.
