An officer of the United States life
saving service declares that its eff
cheney is chiefly due to the fact that
fitness and merit have always governed
the selection of its agents. On the
other hand, it is clear that place seek
ers shrink from entering department
where achievement and heroism are
the rule. Even the thought of pay day
is not alluring enough to bring assent
to the endurance of hardship and peril.
Thus the merit system has an easier
opportunity to exercise its beneficial
influence among the life-savers than
in some safer spheres Of the public
service. It is none the less creditable
to the government that spoilsmen are
not allowed to use the life saving bu-
reau for political purposes.

The demand for rapid transit along
the canals Of Venice bids fair to run
the picturesque gondolier out Of bust
ness. The present tariffs are fairly
low, but the service is slow. and to
make speed one must pay double fare
for an additional boatman. The Ques-
ton of running electric launches is be-
ing strongly agitated, the swift. clean,
noiseless service seen at the Worlds
Fair at Chicago being cited in evidence
of what can be done, and it is likely
that a syndicate will be formed TO de-
velop the idea.

There is a great difference between
a combination for the purpose OF de-
veloping an industry or lessening the
cost Of production Of some article OF
merchandise and a combination for
the purpose Of floating stock amount
ing to two or three times the value OF
the plants and products involved, and
many of the recently organized trusts
seem to come perilously near the stock
speculation schemes represented BY
the latter method Of procedure.

SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROADS.
Income Of the Various Lines Show
Handsome Increase

The State railroad commission is at
present hard at work on the preparation
OF its annual report to the General As
semhly. o. course, all the figures are
not available for the annual general
statement showing the years business
Of the lines in the State, but it is pos
siblc to show the total income from all
sources and the total income less the
expenses: no. including taxes, by roads
for al! the roads save three very small
ones. the Branchville and Bowman, the
Georgetown and Western and the
Hampton ard Branchville. Repeated
efforts have been made to secure these
reports without result. They are de-
laying the appearance of the report.
From the figures in hand the roads
have a total income from all sources
amounting to very nearly ten million of
dollars, the missing roads having
enough to run it to that mark, the in
crease over the. preceding year being
sl,O72, 1853 38.
The total expense including mainten-
ance Of ways apd structures, mainten-
ance and equipment, transportation
and general expenses amount to S6 1885,
1882 as against $5,841 36l II last
year, making the total income less e1
penses So, ,221 8l38 80 against $685.
1876 81 last year.
From this total income less expenses
1859 058 SO in taxes has to be deducted
that being the total amount Of taxes
charged. The increase in expenses is
attributed largely to the laying Of new
rails, the improvement of properties,
etc which is general at this tina. The
total deficit is $52 253 81, charged only
TO those new or rehabiiiiased lines
brought into use during the year.
Tne Atlantic Coast Line system
shows a total income for the year Of
81, 493. OF 20, as against 81 65l, 1871
FOR last year, this being one Of the
principal increases. The Southern
railway in South Carolina shows ST..
5l1 565 Is this year, against 81 472,-
l20 66 last year, and the total less e1-
penses is $5l0 5l1. u against $697, ,99l :
l3 last year.
The other Southern line, the Ashe-
vile and Spartanburg aud the Atlanta
and Charlotte Air Line, show hand
some increases, however.
The report this year will show 191
miles of new road built ard received
during the year 1900. The largest items
in this total are the new links Of the
Seaboard Air Line and the Southern
railYaYa.
