THE REVENUE CCTi ER SERVICE
The other day the Daily Alaskan
asked some questions directed to the
usefulness of the United States
revenue cutter service. While
most of those who have lived
long on the Pacific co>st, where
nearly every interest Is directly or in
directly associated with the sea, have
appreciated the point of the queries, a
few have questioned the justness of
the implied suggestion.
Since the queries in question were
made by this paper, late newspapers of
Puget sound, just at hand, dis
close that the worth or the worthless
ness of this arm of the government
service is being considered there. The
failure of the Grant to render, or at
tempt to render, any assistance to the
Valencia, has made the question time
ly. It also has served to bring to the
frout other disasters on Puget
sound and at the entrance to the strait
of J uean de Fuca, and the conduct of
he revenue marine in connection
therewith. In no instance has it been
recalled that the latter ever saved a
life, though scores have perised with
cutters within reaching distance of
Those United States senators who are
usiog every opening they are offered
for an attack on President Roosevelt
will lose more of the respect of the peo
ple than they will oausa Mr. Roosevelt
to lose popularity. There are too many
great trusts, too many monopoly-en joy
eng millionaires, whose interests would
be be9t served now by the withdrawal
of popular favor from him not to cause
suspicion to rest upon senatorial mo
tives. So long as he shall continues his
efforts to make things more nearly
equal for all classes in this country
that long will be be Impervious to sen
atorial attacks that are directed to mat
ters of minor importance.
The pictures of Miss Maud Sheek,
the Portland girl whom desperadoes at
tempted to kidnap a few days ago, tes
tify very eloquently to the ^ood taste
of the would-be kidnappers.

So marked is this record that the col
lector of customs of the Puget sound
district, (or the use of whom the sec
retary of the treasury has proposee the
coostrtt tion of a $250,000 cutter, the
bill appropriating' the money for wiiich
passed the senate the other day, earn
estly recommended that the project be
abandoned, and that the money be used
wi-h which to establish a life-savin?
station at Xeah Bay, to be equipped
with a life-saving, ocean tug.
As an excuse for the failure of the
Grant to go to the relief of the Valen
cia victims it has b3en said that her
boi'ers are worn and that she is unsea
worthy. This leads the Seattle Poet
Intelligencer to say;
"If the Grant's boilers are in a condi
tion which rendered them unfit for sea
service, they were not worn out in the
work of rescuing life or property."
Summing up the situation, the Seat
tle Post-Intelligencer says:
"The revenue cutter service
on the Atlantic has a record of
heroic work every winter In the
saving of endangered vesseis and
their orews which warms the heart of
every man with red blood in his veins
to read. The revenue cutterservice on
the Pacifip, aside from some splendid
Arctic rescue work that It has ''one,
apparently has little or no mission to
perfom at the present time, save to
protect the property rights of some SaD
Francisco speculators who hold a lease
of the Pribylov Islands from the gov
ernment, and who exercise the privi
lege of butchering fur seals in sanctua
ry :here during the breeding season.
Th * revenue cutters on th^s coast are
dispatched to Bering sea for this pur
pose each summer, and spend the win
ter months tied up to city wharves, un
der roing repairs in order to fit the ves
sels for another season's work of patrol
lintr the private preserves of would-be
monopolists of the fur seal trade."
The total eclipse of the moon oc
curred last night oil schedule time and
under the most favorable conditions
imaginable for observers. The night
was as clear as a bell and the full moon
came from behind the mountains re
splendent inallitsglory light. It was as
light as day when it entered the shadow
cast by the earth shortly after half past
8 o'clock. Gradually the shadow en"
compassed the complete orb and it re
mained in the shade for more than an
hour and a half before it hegan to
emerge.
Nearly everbody in Skagway wit
nessed the natural phenomenon.

The conservative-unionist party of
Great Britain has its "reorganizes," a
sec that was familiar In the democratic
party of the United States in 1900-4.
Th ' Brit sh "reorganizes" say the
wa'chword must be "tariff reform," a
par-.y shibo'eth that also is well Known
in his country, though it is used to
me in quite a different thing there.
"T iriff reform" in Great Britain mean?
a laising of the tariff rather than a
lowering as we understand it in this
country.
