The fascination OF Arctic exploration is
akin 10 that of mountaineering in the
Alps. We recognize n likeness between
the motive which impels men 10 seek the
North Pole. and the motive which urges
them TO cnmD to the summit Of the ttter-
horn. 1t will not do to stigm itizs the
men who attempt these things ~ fools,

But II is not TO be wondered that people
DOUBT the expedieucy. wisdom. ana good
sense OF sending out an expedition simply
TO 20 to the North Pole. The objections to
such an undertaking are too plain and
forcibe.
1t would be W IL enough. we are told, il
IL were purely personal and volun-
tary, but 10 ought not TO be at the
public cost, when in aid Of no practical OBJ
ject. The directors argue that the hu nan
race can receive no benefit from tho jour
ney of few of its members to point
which Is interesting only because it Is in
accessible. And so the British Arctic expe-
diton which has just returned without
reaching the Pole, Is now the subject of
much advers criticism. People say, nrst,
that it ought never to have tried TO - TO
the Pole at all and. secondly, that il failed
because It did not get there.
Slch views prevail only because the OBJ
jects Of the expedition have been widely
misunderstood. These objects were pure
ly scientific. The expedition was organ

repeated request Of the great scientific So
cieiirs of England. 1t was directed to at

cause that course would open q wider field

Bros. Herbert, Smith and Grow were
appointed a committee to draft bylaws
for the grange.
On motion it was ordered that the
minutes of the proceedings be published
In the GRANGE ADVANCE.
The grange adjourned to meet
again on Saturday, January 29th, at
one o'clock p. M, and also in the even
ing, when it is hoped there will be a
general attendance.
In the evening, on that occasion, the
fifth degree will be conferred on appli
cants entitled to receive it with all the
solemn ceremony prescribed in the for
mula for limitations into this degree.
After the business Of the grange is
concluded a feast will be spread, to
which all are expected to contribute,
the lady members residing in the city
being requested to see to it that tables
are furnished and properly prepared.
During the afternoon meeting the
grange was addressed briefly by Master
Adams, who made very acceptable
speech. In the course of his remarks
on the condition of the Order, he stated
there was marked revival of interest
in the Order in this State, that new
oranges were being formed and old ones
being revived, and that there was real
ly a considerable numerical augmenta-
ton and noticeable strengthening of
influence. He encouraged the men,
bers to persevere in the work and sus
tain their local oranges, assuring them
that the Order had already accomplish
ed a great deal of good, and was des-
tined to yield far more advantage in the
future.

quarreling about, and the time had
much better be spent in so shaping
legislation as to relieve the people

listing financial and commercial sys-
tens entail.

it? A teamster hauls a load Of wood
into town, for which he pays dollar
and a quarter in the woods, and sells
it for two dollars and half. He must
pay ten cents for the measuring, not
because he cannot measure it, but to
satisfy whim. Out of $l.15 then he
has to board himself and team, which
leaves but Is cents for his days work
and to pay for breakage and wear and
tear! IL it supposed that a wood haul
er can not measure his wood? Or is it
the wood buyer who is too ignorant :?
If the latter, let him do like the rest of
us have to; get cheated when he makes
a trade. Why not put a measurer in
every store to weigh and measure the
goods that are sold? It would be a
good deal more sensible.
But we are pleased to know that
some Of the Red Wing people are in
sympathy with US and will aid us to
throw this yoke from our shoulders.
Our first council meets next Tuesday
to take measures to resist this tyranical
tariff. We wish peace and good fellow

One of our anti-monopolv
friends says: 1T is all over with our
party now. Donnelly promised the
State committee that he would sus-
tain it with all his own and his pa
per's influence, and that's enough to
kill any party, no matter how strong.
By the way, how much are the DEM
ocratic leaders to pay Donnelly this
year, for helping their party indi-
rectly? AS much as they gave him
last year for helping it directly?"
Our friend need not be uneasy about
Donnelly. He has placed himself
in a position where he can do nei-
ther good nor harm. Venal false
hood, blackguardism and treason
may be useful weapons when first
used, but they finally destroy those
who use them, and only slightly
wound such as they are used against.

The Old State Bonds.

There is probably no intelligent
citizen of this State who does not
wish to have the old railroads bond
debt settled in some way that will
relieve the State of the stigma OF
reputation; and hardly any who
does not acknowledge that, at some
time or other the matter must be
adjusted. The longer it is deferred
the greater the difficulty Of arriving
at an equitable settlement, and it is,
therefore, important that an early
adjustment should be had. Justice
to the State, to its present citizens,
and to posterity imperatively de-
mands that the matter should be at
tended to as early as practicable.
In settling it, however, two i'm
portant considerations ought not to
be forgotten: first, that the issuance
of the bonds was procured by prac-
tising upon the credulity Of the peo-
pie, and that the original receivers
of the bonds were those who con-
cocted and consummated this swim.
die. Secondly, that the real suffer-
ers from the transaction were not
only the original nor the present
holders of the bonds, but the un-
paid subcontractors and laborers
who did what grading was done and
either get no pay at all or were paid
with the deprecated bonds, and the
people who held the State bank cur
rency which was based upon these
bonds, and which became worthless
when the bonds were deprecated.
If these bonds are to be paid,
such sufferers ought not to be over
looked, and if they cannot be found,
or if they cannot substantiate their
claims, the amount of their losses
ought to be deducted from the gross
amount of the debt represented by
the bonds. 1t certainly is not fair
to pay the present holders of the
bonds cent per cent with some sew
enteen years interest for what cost
them only ten or fifteen per cent. !;
and the enormity of this injustice
is aggravated in those instances
where these same men are known
to have participated in the perpe-
tration Of this swindle. Were this a
matter between private citizens, we
doubt whether any court would pro-
nounce the claim legal for the full
amount.
