Pensions for the Life savers.

1t was noted in the news columns of yes
terday's Star that the superintendent of the
life sa wing service had received from a pri-
vate source the sum of 81 eco to be applied
to the relief of the families of surfmen
who have been kill I'd or have become dis
abled in the line of their duty. This Incl
dent calls attention most pointedly to the
fact that the government has never made
adequate provision for these brave men
who risk their lives in one Of the most
humane endeavors known to civilization.
Their pay is small, and the period of their
occupation in some cases. covers only part
of the year. There is no pension fund for
them save such as may be donated. in
the present instance, by charitable indi-
Viduals who appreciate the real value of
this work. When man is disabled he is
kept upon the rolls for q year and is then
dropped, sometimes in cases of extreme
hardship being thus retained for two years.
No provision whatsoever is made for the
families of men who are killed out
right in the line Of duty. The dangers
faced by these men are in many instances
greater than those surrounding soldier
in war. The heyoism they display is not
exceeded on the battlefield Their bravery
and sacrifices are seldom fully known by
the nation to make some provision for this
small but necessary force such as that
which it has MADE Tor IT'S soldiers and sal
Ors. The annual total would be small in
deed when compared with the vast values
which are saved as a result of the efforts
Of the life crews. Or if the government
could not see its way clear to establish a
pension system for these men the shipping
interests, which are so dependent in time
of storm upon the efforts of these crews,
might readily create annuities for the Grip
pies and the families of the dead. If one
per cent of the net annual savings were to
be set aside as principal and the interest
used for this humane purpose the result
would be pension amply sufficient to care
for these sufferers. Even this measure
would not represent the debt owed to these
men on account of the lives they annually
save. No computation can be devised to
capitalize this item. Surely the service
ought no longer to he permitted to rely for
necessary attention upon the charity OF
| individuals.

ing. There will probably be a good deal Of
this sort of thing in Cuba before affairs be-
come adjusted. The resignation is a ready
weapon of defense against supposed as
sault upon the honor. In the new regime
in Cuba this weapon is likely to- be drawn
frequently until the people come to appre-
ciate the fact that government means es-
sentially the settlement of minor differences
by conference and arbitration, that peace,
municipal and national, depends upon the
degree to which the agents of government
are able to sink their personal prejudices
and look solely at the requirements and in
terests of the people. Gen. Wood is doing
a good work if he is sowing this seed in
Santiago even in such small matter as a
school board row. His success in this in
stance is an illustration of the benefcence
of well administered military government
in a territory lately given Yer to disturb
ance and maladministration The introduc-
tion of the Cubans to the full enjoyment of
the liberties of self-administration will
necessarily be somewhat slow, but 1t will
be hastened by just such efforts to teach
patience in the small affairs of the COM
munity.

From the London Chronicle.


For after all, what are our interests in
the matter? Neither more nor less than
these, that we want the canal, which the
President considers a military well as q
mercantile necessity for the United States,
to be al open door in peace or war, and at
rates for our vessels mercantile and war
like, no higher than thos;. payable by any
other country. Provided this is assur. q,
that is all we need care for. But We dare
say If the two governments choose TO ar
range between them for a ~ Fer cent
guarantee on the capital and a provision
that all sums earned over what are re-
quired to pay a > per cent dividend should
go to extinguish the guarantee until a re-
duction of ra teS came in sight, the matter
could be settled on the money market with
out trouble. A free and neutral canal be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific is a
prime receSsity of the worlds commerce,
and we scarcely understand the President 5
use of the word "control' unless it pre-
supposes an engagement by the United
States that the canal shall be open to all
the world on equal terms In that case we
do not much care where the capital comes
from, and in any case it is scarcely likely
1t will come, whether in bonds shares or
debentures without English capital being.

Mrs. Frye and Paris,
From the New York Press.


Mrs. William p. Frye, wife of one of the
American peace commissioners, comes
home to make some remarks which leave
very pleasant taste in the mouth She
Is quoted as saying: There are adj sorts
and conditions of people in Paris dukes
and duchesses by the hundreds. whom one
would not consider 1t an honor TO know
We preferred to spend our time sightsee-
ing Again she says, referring to her
Investigations of the Latin Quarter: oh
you cannot fathom the wrong Americans
do TO their sons and daughters when they
send them to Paris alone!"
1t seems to that this is Americanism
OF the finest and most sensitive sort-the
AmeriCanism that cannot tolerate loose liv.
ing and moral deformity. whether in a
high social state they are crested with
the crown and coronet or on less superior
social plane they drape themselves in the
robes of fine arts. In respect OF these SEN
tments Americansm Is different from the
old world civilization. 1t is the American
wife and mother who marks that differ
ence, and it is she who gives ii significant
expression in the most delicate form
