WORK OF REVENUE CUTTERS.
Ships of This Useful Service Ever
 Ready in an Emergency.

Among the finest vessels to be found in the service of the United States are the revenue cutter service shlps, small and staunch. able to stand ter rible pounding at sea. They have saved many lives in career of ser vice extending over hundred years or more and so well and so consist ently have they maintained hign standard of efficiency that the govern ment proposes to put several of the finest vessels of the fleet on exhibition at the Jamestown exposition to be held at Hampton Roads near Norfolk. Va, next year.
 Several thousand lives have been saved through the agency of the reven- ue cutter service, and many hundreds are saved every year. The last nota- ble exploit of the service was the pull ing of the tramp steamer Drumelzer off the shoals of Fire 1sland, New York, after nll other attempts had failed. The Drumelzer had on board a large cargo of valuable stuffs and was herself n valuable vessel being nearly new. She drove ashore at Fire Island in a furious storm and once that her nose struck in the sand banks it seemed impossible to get her loose.
 With heavy surf beating inshore. tbe crew of the Fire Island Life Saw ing station gave up all attempts to reach the vessel after they had made several vain attempts. The vessel threatened to pound to pieces on the bar of the island. Powerful tugs were sent from New York to aid in an ee- fort to get the ship off the bar. All these efforts were futile. however. Finally by orders of the government. the revenue cutter Mohawk. one of the finest and newest Of the fleet was sent to Fire Island and late- another cutter was sent from New York.
 Along with these went to the stranded steamers aid several power ful wrecking tugs. With the aid of one of these the Sandy Hook life saw ing crew which had been brought out were able to at last reach the strnnd- ed steamer. Part Of the crew were brought off by this means. Several. however. elected to stand by their shin an.l captain who refused to leave. After several days of trying work with the aid of the powerful revenue cutters and tugs the Drumeizer was finally hauled ofY the sanibark.
 Eut for the heroism of the revenue cutter men. it Is probable that. the shIp wouId have gone to pieces in short time after striking. The cap. tain and flle crew were loud in their praise of the revenue cutter service 1 and thiS niece of work was considered . b-ttt;ant feature i'm the can of the officers and men of the service. They. however. were very modest in speak | ing of it.

Because the Turkish sultan is nor bidly affected by the assassination of a fellow ruler, the report comes from Washington that the news of McKin- ley's murder has been kept from Ab- dul Hamid, who believes he is still president, and has addressed Chekib Bey's credentials as minister to this country to him. The noteworthy thing in this rumor is not perhaps that the sultan has not heard of Me Kinley's death, but that ne has con- trived to peg along now for several years in blissful inconsistencies of the existence of Theodore Roosevelt. The oriental calm of Abdul Hamid, the positively Arcadian ignorance and Asiatic insouciance of the man are commended as an example of the Simple Life at the Golden Horn. What is knowledge but grieving" asks the poet.

The republican national committee did have the grace to give Providence credit for few days of rain and sun shine when they were figuring ouA the list of national achievements that should be set down to the credit of the republican party. Aside from this small concession to Providence, the republican textbook for the coming congressional campaign is about the most all-embracing and selfishly ego- tistical volume that has ever been gotten out even for campaign pur- poses. The managers of the republi- can campaign were determined that they would take credit for everything in sight. They evidently stood in con- siderable awe of the labor movement inaugurated against them in several states and were careful to enumer- ate the various methods by which they had sought to aid the cause of labor. The S-hour labor law, the Chinese exclusion act, the safety ap- pliance law and all of the other laws which might be supposed to interest the working man had been drawn on to swell the total of presumably re- publican achievements. The compilers of the campaign book very carefully forgot to remember that the most of this legislation was passed by the aid of democratic votes and would not have been passed at all had it not been for the knowledge that If the republican party failed to pass 1t, the democrats would soon be given a chance and would assuredly take ad- vantage of it.

For several days this week the in- commerce commission has been at work on very important hearing as to export cotton rates un- der the new railroad rate law. There were present at this hearing repre- sentatives of all the Southern rail- ways. those of many of the steam ship lines and cotton growers from various points in the south. The custom has grown up. through many years, of making railroad rates from the cotton fields to the ports depend on the amount of shipping that is available at the various ports for ocean carriage. Under the new law a railroad rate cannot be changed with out thirty days notice to the commits sion. whereas It has been the custom to change export rates on cotton with twenty-four hours notice or less. Opinions seem to be equally divided as to whether or not the suspension of the thirty days notice clause would be a benefit or an injury to the cot ton shipper Arguments were ad- vaneed on both sides. and it was al- legged that under existing conditions the railroads were able to make mid night tariffs" and thus favor some shippers at the expense of others Judge Clements. who is acting chair. man of the commission. said that the matter would be taken under advise. ment and a decision rendered at som, future time.

burg families of this fact. The Pitts burg working man cannot believe 1t. The men who have noticed the ad- vance in prices most are those whose salaries are fixed and do not move upon the demand of a labor organ ization. House rents are 25 per cent greater in Pittsburg than five years ago and are higher than ever before in the history of the city. Prices of all kinds of produce are at fancy flg- ures. Mills are in fuller operation than usual during the summer months and there are comparatively few unemployed, yet the laborer finds that 1t takes all he makes to live just as it did when his wages were from
 10 to 25 per cent less than at pres ent. The sun of prosperity is shining but it takes full days wage to keep it shining"
