A FRANK ADMIssIox--Th Louisville
Courier, an old-line Wing paper in Kentucky,
while advocating the Reorganization of the
Wing party, very frankly says:
"We do not for moment, suppose that
the Wings can have hope Of success in the
next campaign. We believe that it is writ
ten down in the book of fate that the demo-
cracy will sweep the whole country at the
Presidential election in November next. We
do not entertain the shadow Of doubt but
they will carry Kentucky by a sweeping
majority Would it not be much better
then, for those wings who have principle,
and not selfinterest, in view, to support their
own men and measures, especially when they
know that in SO doing they more certainly
secure the present success Of the Democracy.
which they regard as so necessarya"

The discovery of the open Circumpolar
Sea appears to have been made by Russian
officer thirty years ago. This was Lieut..
Wrangle, who somewhere about the year
1924 advanced by sleds across the ice from
the northern coast of Siberia, due north to
the open sea. Lieut.. now admiraD Wrangle
took frequent soundings during the trip, and
found the water shallow, with mud bottom.
The climate became more moderate as he
made northing. According to his estimate
of his position at the margin Of the open
polar ocean, he must have been near the
parallel Of 80 desrees north, on which DR..
Kane was when he saw the same sea, almost
on the opposite side of the pole. Lieut..
Wrangle concealed provisions in the ice as
he advanced, which he cut out for supplies
on his return. The party slept in lodges
warmed by a spirit lamp, which also cooked
their meals. Their suferings were as great
as those Of the land parties that have gone
out from the British exploring ship.
