An earnest effort Is being made to obtain
from Congress "A large appropriation for the
equipment Of the HowGATE Arctic eXpcdi-
ton. The plan involves the establishment
Of Il temporary colony on the threshold of
the unknown polar region. From this set
Element an attempt will be made to reach
the pole. Capt. TYSON Of HALLS expedition
has already gone 10 the Arctic regions with
Il small party, to prepare for the colony, and
all that is now wanted to carry forward the
project is the money from Congress. The
season is already so far advanced that Capt.
IIowGATE has addressed memorial to the
members urging immediate action on the
bill. Ono OF the reasons on which he bases
his request is that "A part of the necessary
outfit for the colony Is now being collected
within the Arctic circle 10y Capt. TYSON, in
the Florence, which was equipped and sent
out for that purpose in the firm belief that
Congress would take up the work 50 libcr-
ally started by Them"
H. is impossible TO approve the proposition
that Congress should make this or any
other appropriation because several private
persons have spent n little money in the
firm belief that Congress would spend moro
to the same end. Capt IlOWGATE has doubt
less devoted much timo and energy to his
project, but, as it seems TO us, in the wrong
direction. Tho private wealth Of the coun-
try, ne tells US has fitted out the preimi-
nary expedition; why not hook to it, also,
for the whole sum necdedY Our great cities
abound In rich men who have money and to
spare, notwithstanding all the depression Of
business Witness, for instance the recent
sale Of the LATHAM collection Of pictures
here for more than 100000. The labor spent
upon the bill in Congress by its advocates,

| lions, ought 10 have secured the neoossar,

Misdirected GallantrY.

A bill has been introduced into the Assem-
bly, providing not only that no property now
exempt by law shall he exempt from levy or
sale under an execution issued upon q judg-
mcnt obtained in any court in the city Of
New York for work, labor. or services done
or performed by any female employee when
the amount Of such judgment does not ex-
cccd the sum OF fifty dollars exclusive Of
costs; but also that il such execution shall
be returned unsatisilcd then the debtor
shall bc liable toarrcst and to Imprisonment
in the debtors Jail not exceeding fifteen
days.
This is n specimen Of narrow. petty,
spteful legislation. II it would do the
women in whose interest the bill assumes
to be drawn any good, that would be Il diff
fercnt thing but woman's condition cannot

amount by this time. II IL would not, then
all idea of the proposed colony ought to
be abandoned. An Arctic expedition is q
luxury, not a necessity OF national exist
cnce. II the times are such that the rich
men OF America feel too poor to pay for this
luxury, then the poor men should not be
made to pay for it by taxation.
We believe the constitutional objection
that 1t is outside the grant OF Congressional
power to promote undertakings Of this sort
is usually met by saying that Congress this
provides Tor the general welfare of tho
United States, under sections OF article OF
the Constitution, inasmuch as the advance
mcnt of science, especially in its bearing on
navigation. tends TO further important pub
lie interests. Just now. however, 1t seems
as though we should do very well II our
Government would apply what Is already
known instead of trying to add to the
worlds stock OF knowledge. All the labors
of the coast survey were Intellectual TO pre-
vent an officer of high rank in the navy from
running his'vcsscl ashore a few months ago
on ono Of the bcst-known points Of the At
lantic coast; and more recently we have
witnessed the disgraccful return Of an
American corvette bound for France, be-
cause our science and art combined are SO
wretchedly applied in that very branch Of
the public service which is most concerned
with navigation.
II is further TO be considered whether one
American Arctic expedition at Il time will
not bc enough. FLAMES GoRDoN BENNETT
Is about to provide a ship and the necessary
outfit for one expedition on his own account.
He has asked the public for nothing except
the services Of a few naval officers and per-
mission to buy his ship in England. The
experience gained by these officers in over
coming the difficulties OF Arctic navigation
and Arctic travel will more than counter
balance the loss of their time; and, indeed.
while we are at peace, they may just as well
be at the North Pole az anywhere else. In
view of Mr.. BENNsTT's proposed expedition,
then, what present justification Is there for
the expenditure Of thousands Of dollars on
the HowGATE polar colonyp

The End of the Mexican Plot.

Ever since the ridiculous collapse Of Mr.
EvARrs's pet project Of war with Mexico,
the recognition Of DGAZ's Government by our
own State Department has been only Il ques-
ton Of time II was natural that the Fraud
ulcnt Administration should desire to put
Off us long as possible the confession Of its
FOLLY and defeat aud therefore hesitate
about taking the step that definitely marks
the abandonment of its inccndiary policy.
A Washington despatch this morning in
forms Us that FOSTER is on ms way to
Mexico with instructions 10 recognize DGAz
nj once This should have been done more
than a year ago, and would have been done
then but for tho singular douaion that has
possessed the mind OF the de Jdct0 Secretary
OF State.

ton. But before FOSTER had carried out

and with HAYES, EvARTs and the foolish
hope of divcrting attention from Fraud by
fomcnting war with Mexico. The SHAFTER
report was devised, and stories of Mexican
outragcs began to he sent North from all
along the border line. FOSTER was notified
by SEWARD, the de facto Assistant Secretary
OF state, that q new programme had been
arranged for our Mexican relations SEW

aud that his Administration possessed OF stability and
OF disposition 20 comply with the rules Of international
comfy aud the obligations OF treaties"
From the date OF that very plain intima-
ton, FOSTER began to discover and report
evidences not only OF the DIAz Governments
weakness and instability, but also Of its
positive disinclination to fulfil treaty obli-
cations. Altogether, the diplomatic man
agcmcnt of the plot has been as crooked and
discrcdtable as the open attempts of the
military authorities on the border to pro-
woke o war between the two republics.

If the shifting policy of Austria is due to

at least her tact endorsement to Russia in re-
turn for Russian support in 1871. At that time,
without firing II shot. Russia could have pre-
vented Germany from reaping large share Of
the fruits of her victory over France. Such SEN
timcntal considerations, however, arc not OF
much account in modern diplomacy. and Ger
many may yet throw the weight Of her infu-
once in favor Of England There IL q possbili-

John Jacob Aston has placed on record an
instrument duly appointing his son Waldorf to
be his complete attorney. No limit Is placed on
the power thus conferred. and 1t is the most
comprehensive commission OF the kind ever
known in America. II even empowers the son
TO act In any OF the trusts VIII oh the father may
have accepted, and in fact places him in entire
possession OF the grand estate. No American
OF twenty eight years has ever before welded
such financial empire. II seems remarkable
that the father should thus early retire IRON
active life. but the fact is that he wishes To see
Waldorf thoroughly drilled in the management
OF the property. and in this idea he Is correct.
II Is not probable that this instrument will ever

There is widespread notion that, unless
England forms an alliance with Austria. she
cannot undertake or prosecute military opera
tons against Russia. The question has. OF
course. been considered by the British military
authorities. who are conversant with all the cir
cumstances of the case; and II is hardly to be
supposed that they would make preparations
for n campaign which is utterly Improbable.
and OF the impracticabity Of which the Rus
SLAMS must be as well aware as they are.

sions, to keep Russia out Of Constanti-
nOple. and to prevent Russia from OBJ

formidable army operate In the rear OF the Rus
sian army ut Constantinople. and upon its lines
OF communication, running northward; at the
same time let the British ironcads. now in

the Bosporus into tho Black sea- destroy the
Russian vessels Of war, operate along the Rou-
melian coast Of the Black sea behind Constan-
tinope. prevent all Russian communications
through the Black sea. and put stop to the trans
portation Of supplies from Odessa or elsewhere
to the Russian army in Turkey: at the same
time. let small British force seize Scutari. or
some other convenient point on the Asiatic side
Of the Dosporus; let these entirely practicable
operations be prosecuted with proper energy
and skill. and neither Constantinope nor the
Bosporus will remain for any length Of time
under the power Of Russia. England will have
accomplished her purpose. and she can main
