Judge Days address before the Geogaphi-
cal Society points ont the fact that the third
quarter of this century has surpassed all pre-
vious periods in extending our knowledge Of
the earth's surface since the era of discovery
that began in the fifteenth century and culmi-
mated with Magelans voyage around the
globe. While recording the notable explora-
tions in Asia, Africa, and 'hc Arctic regions,
the address is chiefly devoted TO discoveries on
this continent, and hence is of special interest
to orr readers. In connection with Arcric ex-
pcditions the curious fact is mentioned that
the "Symmes's Holen theory has lately been
revived and urged in lectures by son o.
Capt. Symmes. Few theories have been made
the target of 80 much Tid'cule.

On the one hand it is reported that Gen.

the st. Louis verdict has finished the matter.

In Canada the Minister Of Finance estimates
that there will be a deficit of about $5OO,0O0
in the revenue for the current fiscal year. lie
proposes, however to let this adverse balance
stand over to next year, and will make no
change in tariff or other taxes. by adopting
this neutral course Mr. Cartwright leaves un-
decided his policy in regard TO either Protec-
ton or Free Trade. He says that he is op-
posed to experimental legislation" at present,
and deems it more important to raise revenue
than to adopt a new fiscal system.

Whatever may be the preparations the hos
tile Sioux have been making to harass the
border settlements, there is now little danger
of such an attack. The Sioux will have all
the fighting they want if the expedition under
Gen. Crook, now on the march from Cheyenne
and described in our correspondence from
thar point, shall find them under arms.

1t is hard to say which party has the most
trouble in prospect from the financial issue.
Although tie vote was reached in the Demo
cratic caucus committee, it is believed that
majority will favor Mr.. Payne's currency bill ;
but large minority will oppose that or any
other measure on which the rest can agree
Hence hopeless division on financial ques-
tions l. foresbadowed among the Democrats in
