LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thougbt-Thc Talk

of tbe .Gossips.

TF THERE Is any single subject above 1 another that needs to bo given eat attention and urgent agitation by fiic press of tbla country, more especially by the coast Journals, It la that of tbo call for government legislation that aball protide pensions for those disabled in tbe service of the lifo-aavlng stations, and for tbe families of those whose lives are sfccrifioed to duty lu that service. No weakling can become a member of a life-saving . The candidate must be a man of] beroie build aud thoroughly equipped for' tbe doing of heroic service,—physically, mentally and bv rigid experience aa a boatman, aa well as by a clear under, ntandlng of Civil Service regulations. While for qolto long periods- at time* at some looalltlo* upon tbe coaat or lake* life at the stations may be

and environments, barring the systematic patrol, may be irksome only in the enforced Idleness, still there la not a crew, it la tf fe to aay, who have not been called upon to do and to dare for humanity's sake, to take their own lives In their baud*, braving every danger from the jaw* of death the imperiled lives of shipwrecked mariners, aud, it be, of passengers too, who re well that their only hope is in skill, the courage aud the endurance of I the gallant fellows of tbe. crews on

l-abore.

At no time, perhaps, since the Inauguration of the system under Government control, baa the full force and character of this service been better understood and mere fully appreciated than by the records of unshrinking loyality to duty I made by the crew* of the Atlantic coaat ijurlri]; tbe winter just passed, and In] which tbe crew* of our own countyjmast hold a high place. While all ggye quick I responds and showed undaunted courage lu answering every call to duty, It remained for Captain “Gus” Sooy and hia sturdy surf men to pass through an expeleoce that was extremely bitter, that nigh coal them their live*, one member barely recovering from the shock of exposure and exhaustion. Aud yet, with all the ' liberal pension taws of the Government, ! no provision has been made for these brave men or their families If by reason of that aervloe under a department of tbe Government, they should become disabled or yield up tbclr lives a sacrifice. Only recently on the Massachusetts coast six men of a crew of seven, lost their Ilvesin an attempted rescue. Certainly it l* not enough that with tbe snuffing out of their lives and the removal of the names of the dead from ^be Goverumim ] ] pay-roll, that nothing more remains Lebvj done. It la not enough that the Goarero. meot assume the fatherhood of this Work yf humanity; it should go farther, and oare, to some extent, for tbe widows and orphans of those made *0 by the loyalty of those who have sacrificed life or limb health to duty. The Army and the Navy require strict dlfcipllne, loyalty and oourage In the face of danger; but not less is that expected of the sturdy «urf T men of tbe llfe-saviog stations.
