THE MARINE RECORD A WAY TO BENEFIT THE SAILOR. Jfom Ma Km York Maritime ReoMer. ' Thero Is no doubt thnt a very groat doal could bo done to Improve the present oondl- i If " - -'- _____the right steps were taken. It "would seem to be of Ihe llrst Im tlon of tho sailors BIOHARD HAMMOND. tfOHN COON* taaeii. u, «-«.»,« o--...-----------_________ iportunco that the sailor should In some way be removed from under the influence of the boarding house master. To accomplish this Is a muttorof some dfllciilty at prosont. Tho sailor Is a most Improvident person. Ho lands on these shores very of:eji with little If any money due him. Ho genorally docs not care immediately to ship again and" while on shore ho wants to have aSjood time. It is right hero that hls^o-cnlfod fi lend, the boarding house master comes lir. Tho latter furnishes him witli a place in which to Bleep, glvos him plenty to cat and dilnk, and il necessary money to spend, knowing that he will bo fully reimbursed out of the advance wages or the sniloi. These are matteis not easllv pombnttcd i),o long its tiie piesont ud- value note system remains In force. It would thereforo appear to be nccessaiy that this system should be nbolUhcd If any great bonellt to the sailor Ib to be expected from the ellorts of ihose who Inboi In behalf ol his welfnre. In face pf this, however, much good might be accomplished by nulled mid uorslsteut notion on tho pint of the latter. The establishment at convenient points throughout our cltv of bom ding houses, wheio a good bed nnd wholesome toorl could bo obtained nt u lensoiiable cost to'tho sailor would seem to bo a very necesBiny step In that direction. There would be this advnn- tirgoin it, tliauho. siillor would then have the opportunity of 'choosing whether he would go to these places, wheio he, would receive honest tieatnieut, or with the board¬ ing Jiouse muster, who In one way or another would bo sine to fleece him. This In con¬ nection with Hio opening of shipping bu¬ reaus wpero no charge would be made lot piocuring him employment, would go u great way towiud ol'-settlng the evils result¬ ing Irom exaction of "blood-money." Ono of these buicaus has iccently been opened here, and If rightly conducted it will no doubt meet with success in Its undertaking. But there is one thing that should be bomo in mind by those who would benefit the sailor, that Is, he will not take the trouble to seek out these places. They must be pel- Bonally brought to his notice nnd he must '"be Influenced to go to them, otherwise they would be likely to fall or theli purpose. Noi must the fact be lost sight ot that those who work to benefit the sallo- have in the board¬ ing tioiiBO master an active and unceasing cnoinv, and they must display an equal ac¬ tivity wjth him if they would hope to op¬ pose him suciessfully. The sailor has man} sympathizers and his ical fi lends will not want loi moral suppoit In their efloits to be¬ friend him. The work before them Is long and arduous, but if they will persevere in It there is no doubt that through tlicii efforts the sailor can be rescued from the bondage that ho now Is under. The question ot low- priced boarding houses fer the sailor should be git on serious thought, as it would no doubt prove an impoitant tnctoi in reilalm lug him from Ills piesont degraded condition. The vast men of virgin pine toicsts Injhe south*Is atliacting couoideiahle comment, and Is pointed to as the source ot ihe l.utuie lumber supply when the west anil Canada shall have become stripped of building ma¬ terials. The southern forests however seem to defy the woodman. The great and im¬ penetrated lumber tiacts me swamps ol miasma which a northern man cannot stand one soa6on, and southerners will cut and market tho lumber for a hundred dollnrds a thousand. Tlmre is never any snow to make roads, and the frost never burdens the swamps so that thej inn be tinvelcd with wagons. The southci n torests arc, tlierofoio guarded agnlnst the approach or ihe de¬ structive woodman as It with a limning sword — OitMqti /nuts KNEW HElt FAIUNU.
