In July last the customs authorities
at this port levied dne Of $500 against
the coast steaer Despatch for being
short in her legal equipment Of life
boats. and her owners promptly iled Q
plea in abatement Of the fine with the
federal treasury department, Yester.
day Collector W. l.. Robb received q
communication from the department
sustaining the tine and declaring that
the steamer had "yiclated the law with.
out justihable excuse" and directed the
enforcement OF the fine. The plea Of
the owners was, in effect. that the
Despatch had been duly inspected by
the proper federal officers in 1905. and
prior to the date Of her alleged oifense,
lJuly 18TH, and that that inspection,
leaving her without fault when il was
made, held for one year before she
would be amenable TO another, or for
any violation Of law going into opera
tisn after the date OF such inspection"
but the departmentfails to substantiate
this position in the review OF her case,
and pay she must. There is still another
slOo against her in line Of fines. levied
At the same time, for failing TO carry
and exhibit a list Of her passengers.
The department will render a decision
On this head later.

Sermon on Modesty

If the road you are travelling

don't you often stop and feel

ever enter your head that there
vas a possibility that other good
people were as liable to be right
as you, yourselfy No two blades
of grass are exactly alike, and no
two human minds are cast on ex.
actly the same mold. You may
be wrong and still be honest in
your belief. The same thing
may be true of the other fellow.

debt. Under the bond agree.
ment no payment could be made
before five years and all are TO
be paid within twenty years,
hence none Of tile bonds were
payable before April, 1908, but by
that time several thousand dol,

Repnblicanism's Advances iu
Wages.

The Republican victory in the
congressional election has bro't
a prompt and characteristic re-
Spouse from the c~ountry's big
business interests. Announce.
ments are made that wages are
to be advanced in many of the
large activities. The Pennsylva
mia railroads 165, 900 employees
are to get a 10 per cent increase
in pay. Advances of approx.
mately that amount are to be
made to the %, 900 workers of the
Reading road, to the 10000 of
the New York Central and afilia-
ted lines, and to 200, 600 or 800,
600 workers on other railways.
Advances are announced, too, for
the 10000 employees of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, the
10000 of the Standard Oil Com
.pany, and the IS, 1000 of the Anal
gamate Copper trust. Other
large corporations are contem-
plating making a similar increase
in pay to their employees. Much
more than /, OO0,O % persons viii
get their wages advanced before
the end of the present year, seven
weeks hence.
A very good days work was
done by the American people last
Tuesday, when they renewed
the commission of the Republi-
can party to govern the country.
Republican victory usually
brings large dividends to capital
and labor. This happens be-
cause Republican victory means
that sanity and conservatism are
going to continue in the manage.
ment of the government. There
will be no rash experiments with

industry while the Republicans
remain in charge Of affairs.
Hearst's get.rich-quick schemes
for the populace, and Bryan's
short cuts to wealth will be shut
out under Republican sway.
There will be no quackery in
congress or the presidency un-
der Republican auspices While
the Republican party remains at
the front the mountebanks will
get no quarter in politics. Bry-
ans railway ownership and op.
GRAFTON by the government,
Hearst's government ownership
of ali the big activities, and Debs'
government purchase or contis-
cation of everything, are turned
down in Republican days. The
Republican victory last week
foreshadows a Republican tri-
umph in the Presidential cam,
paign two years hence. The
backward swing of the pendulum
which takes place in all the mid.
presidential term congressional
canyasses was shorter this time
than ever before in forty years.
If last Tuesday had been a Presi-
dental election day the majority
for the Republican party would
have been nearly as great as il
was two years ago. An over.
majority of the people
are on the Republican side in
1906. as they were in 1904. The
outlook for 1908, as it shapes it.
self after the returns from the
congressional elections are all in,
and all analysed, is exceedingly
bright. The heads of the great
business interests see this, and
they are making their calcula-
tions with the utmost confidence
for the future growth in the
country's activities. Prosperity
has no halt immediately ahead Of
it. Republicans big dividends

try are taking a new step up
