Hon. Claude A. Swanson has

Hon. Claude A. Swanson has for
mally announced himself as candl'
date for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Virginia and gives
some of the grounds, as shown by his
card in another column, upon which
he solicits the support of the voters
of the State.
The announcement will leave no
one in doubt as to his views in mat
tiers of interest to the people of the
State. He is willing to trust them
and favors the primary plan OF select
ing candidates; he knows by expert
epce that their educational advan
tages ere not v hat they should he
and il for better pubic school sys
tem;he believes that our public high
ways ought to be improved and puts
himself upon record as favoriDg prop
or expenditures for their improve
ment; he believes that the State's
agricultural interests OuRnU 10 De ue
veloped snd promises that he will, if
elected Governor, do all in his power
in this and other respects to promote
the material welfare of the State, and
that he will be free from pledges
which would preventhim from di-
charging all of the duties of the office
in the best interest of all of the PEG
pie of the State.
He will have as opponents in his
contest for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor Joseph E. Willard, State
Senator William 81. Mann and posi-
bly, Hon. Il. st. George Tucker, all
qualified to fill the high position, but
he is, doubtless, in the lead, and
without some serious mistake is like
ly to win out in the race.

In the death of Ex-Governor
Lowndes, which occurred on last
Sunday, Maryland has lost valuable
citizen. He was a Republican but
not of the kind that could always be
relied upon to support every meas
ure of his party, however ubiquitous
it might be. He was one of the few
republicans to vote against the Civil
Rights bill, introduced into Congress
while he was a member of that body,
and he dared to vote right in the
matter, though from district which
by a large majority approved the
measure. The record which he made
for himself as Governor was, for the
most part, acceptable to the people
of Maryland and there seems to be
no difference of opinion among them,
whatever their party affiliations, as
to his worth ss man and citizen
All the Baltimore papers pay the
highest tribute to his ability and
high moral character.

SATURDAY, January IA, 1905

In a letter under date OF December
31st, Secretary Shaw commepds the
noble and courageous work perform
ed by the keeper and crew OF the
Creeds Hill Life Saving Station OF
the occasion of the wreck OF tn
steamer Northeastern" on Diamo c
Shoals. off Cape Hstteras, on tn
goth of December, in the followiDs
language:
Even under ordinary conditions ,
trip from Cape Hstteras to the d."
mond Shoals is not free from danger
and in bad weather is perilous in th'
highest degree The Shoals are one
of the most dangerous places on tht
American coast, the sea is seldom
comparatively quiet there, and 'he
bottom is strewn with Dumberless
skeletons OF powerful vessels thai
have suffered destruction. The me'
of the Life Saving Service and befor'
their day, from time immemorial, 'ht
surf-shore people have glorifed the
cause of humanity by countless sell
sacrificing deeds of heroism, there
performed 10 the cause OF human
life. l congratulate you upon your
noble performance, not because
surpasses all others-which is glory
enough because you have bravely
maintained the high standard al
efficiency and heroism heretofore es'
tablished by yourself and your com
rades all along the North Caroiins
Coast"
These life-savers, doubtless, de-
served the praise given them by the
Secretary, and the most of them can
always be counted upon, if judged
by their past performances, in main
tanning the same hign standard oil
efficiency and heroism shown OF
Hatteras, but they deserve something
more than praise. They should re-
ceive better compensation for theli
services and better treatment while
Oh duty and a pension after they
have been retired from service by
reason of hysical disability or ole
age. They should, at least, not ot
subjected to burdens, imposed upor
them under late order compelling
them to be practically on guard al
night, and so onerous that many
have been compelled to leave the ser
vice and more will if it is not res
cinded. They deserve praise but 1t II
a disgrace ito the best government
that the world ever saw" that they
do not get little more justice along
with it.
