The New jersey coast comprises Dis
triet No. 5 Of the Life Saving Service,
and the official reports Of marine disas-4
tiers on our shores show that it Is the
most dangerous district on the whole
coast for sea-going vessels. The report
for the last fiscal wear gives list Of
ffty-three vessels of all kinds that met
with mishap on the New Jersey coast
between Sandy Hook and Cape May,
says the Newark daily Advertiser
The total number of disasters on the
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts and the
Great Lakes during the year was 7S5,
with q total property loss of $22,4o9 $40.
and a loss of life of 81. 1t is testimony
te the efficiency of the New Jersey life
savers chat the property loss in the fifty
three casualties reported was only $48,-
375. while only two lives We're sacrificed
out of 800 personos on the wrecked or
rescued vessels
There are a77 life saving stations in
the thirteen districts into which the SER
vice is divided, and forty-two of these
stations are on the New Jersey ceast,
much greater number than in amy other
district showing the necessity for great
er safeguards on our ocast than else
where.
From the institution of the Life Saw
ing Service in 1871 Up to the end of the
last fiscal year the number eff disasters
was 1851. There were 117 ,056 persons
On the stranded vessels. of whom 1893
lost their lives. The total value of the
vessels and cargoes was $237, ,642, ,559,
of which $47 ,ss4s047 was lost.
Obviously the protection Of commerce
on cur coasts calls for something more
than the maintenance of a life saving
service. There should be harbors Of ref
uge for vessels, whereas there is none
ON the whole stretch of the New Jersey
coast between Sandy Hook and the capes
except for small vessels of light draught.
There are shallow bays and inlets that
can be .deepened to permit the entrance
of large vessels.
If good harbers are thus made, con-
merce will seek them, the railroads will
will spring up where now are sandy
wastes. The State government has be-
come interested in the improvement Of
the New Jersey seacoast, and the subject
will be brought up in practical shape
in the next Legislature. If the Federal
Government can be got to cooperate, the
terrons of navigation ON the New Jersey
coast win be greatly reduced, and the
State Will get some commercial benefit
from its advantageous approaches from
the ocean.

Commissioner GarReld.s report ON the
~'tandard Oil Company was transmitted
LIST week to the House of Representa-
tires by the President. The Garfield re-
port on the Beef Trist is net altogether

ark Evening News With no fault of
good intention on the part of the COM
missioner. conditions Were allowed to
creep into the report which have been
made the successful pretext of folding the

ing Of personal and penal responsibility
on the individual trust nagnates.
The Standard Oh report is claimed to
be free from every such loophole sf es-
cape. and its revelations. it Is intims@ ID,

Sturdiest apologists of what may be cali
ed the father of the trusts, as well as
the most eloquent exponent of the far
reaching evils of corporate capitalism, do
not deny the Hnscriipulous facts on
which that famous business achievement
was built. They have long since given
up the attempt to make white out of
black. They are content with urging
that Rockefeller and company only did
on great scale what other lines Of bus
mess did. or sought to do. on small
scale. They aver that in recent years
Standard Oil management has squared
its methods with the dictates of more
drastic law and a sharper administration
of that law. The bad boy, in other
words, has become good boy since he
secured permanent and immeasurable
benefit out of his badness. and since the
uplifted whip was raised over his head
against continuance of wrongdoing.
But has the bad boy. even though he
has slipped out of the cid grooves of
wiekedness refrained from other evil
courses fully as subseryiye Of the bnsi-
ness equities ard the plain meaning of
federal statutes? 1t is. somewhat more
than conjecture in view Of many current
facts, thar what was born in the gristle
has not sloughed out of the bone. State
litigations have thrown a good deal of
light On the subject. The Garfield re-
port, ii is said. has probed the recent
iniquities Of Standard Oil to the bottom.

CAMDEN NEWS NOTES.

Camden, Aug. 9.-Long sBranch
went to Hagood yesterday and de-
feated their crack team to in
hard fought game. Mr.. T. O. Sanders
umpired the game and gave perfect
satisfaction. Carl West, boy OF
fourteen years, pitched for the Long
Branch and struck out y while Mr..
Frank Sanders, for Hagood struck
out 4. This was our pitchers first
game in the box and he won with
fying colors. He is our back stop,
and is one of the best all-round play
ers for his age in the State. Ha~
good had the honor Of winning every
game played this season unsia yester-
day. but our team mas also played
500 per cent. when Greek meets
Greek" there is something doing.
We have had a week of good good
weather and crops are improving. we
have few crops that are the pest
ever seen in the county. Your cor
respondent has a field of corn' 25
acres. that will make from so to oo
bushels per acre, and it is not worked
by the Williamson method, either.
The Camden ball team seems to
have "funked," and if the season
lasts much longer may net be the
leaders. They were robbed Of the
second game Monday by Orangeburg
refusing to play after seven innings.
The score should be 9 to in favor
of Camden, but the other three
games were won fairly. They just
outplayed Camden. Sumter opens
up here today and the result Will be
watched with interest.
