The Frankifu Records.

We print to-day, at the request of DR..
John Rae the well known Arctic explorer,
some remarks which he has addressed to
the President of the American Geographical
Society on the recent annual address de-
livered to that body by Chief Justice Daily.
These remarks are penned with a view of
showing certain inaccuracies in dates and
description in the annual address of 1878,
and particularly in regard to the explora-
tions of the regions wherein the cairn de-
scribed to Captain Barry, and in search Of
which the Eothen party have left this port.
is stated to stand. Dr. Rae believes that
cairn built by the Survivors of the
franklin expedition does not exist
in the place where Captain Barry
was informed it stood lie declares
that the region referred to was thoroughly
explored by Hall and by himself and that
they never heard of the cairn from the
natives, although the death of the last Of
franklin s men must have been Of compare
lively recent occurrence when DIR. Rae
visited the territory in search of informa-
ton. That some confusion of dates may
have occurred in lengthy address is just
possible, but we do not think the inaccu-
racies OF description of which DIR. Rae COM
plains can be credited to Judge Daily. They
rather belong to the narrative Of Barry,
which vas introduced into tho address for
the purpose of directing special attention
to highly interesting subject. No reflec-
ton is cast as he fears, on the work of DIR.
Rae, and we think he is over sensitive about
a matter which has nearly passed out Of the
public memory, and the details Of which
they have long ago forgotten.

uard.Hearted Creditors.

A bankruptcy case was argued before
Commissioner Osborn yesterday which
illustrates how dead the feelings of a hard
hearted creditor may become to the gen.
erous impulses OF human nature. The
bankrupt had the misfortune to lose his
first wife. But he had, as q compensation
for his loss, the satisfaction Of knowing that
during her six weeks illness she was min
istered to by n valued friend, dressm aker,
whose attentions eased her sick couch and
soothed her last sufferings. In gratitude
the bereaved widower married the devoted
nurse six weeks after he had laid the @ear
departed in the grave. This, however, was
but poor remun Grafton for her services,
and so the inconsolable widower paid his
new wife two thousand dollars for
her six weeks devotion to his old wife.
and presented her besides with five hundred
dollars as wedding present. Then he
became bankrupt. His generosity having
exhausted his means he could reasonably
do nothing else. 1t is to the payment Of
this twenty-five hundred dollars, the token
of gratitude to the new wife for her tender
care of her predecessor, that the hard
hearted creditors object. Commissioner
Osborn, it is said, takes the papers and
reserves his decision. If he takes this
paper we trust he will: in his decision do
justice to the noble generosity which
prompted the disconsolate widower not only
to give his first wifes sick-bed attendant
handsome douceur, but to place her in the
departed lady's position six weeks after the
frppral

Brooklyn Hari-K u ri.

It is proverbially unwise for a man to cut
of his tace. Yet this is just what the Brook
lyn Board Of City Works proposes to do
when it threatens to stop, or at least to rem
der uncertain, the supply of drinking water
for the hotels on Coney Island because OF n
quarrel with the Brooklyn Park Commits
Island goes into the pockets of Brooklyn
people and benefits Brooklyn interests. The
great drawback of the Island heretofore has
been the want of wholesome water Not
that the general Coney Island visitors
make much use of such a liquid in
water, and the Brooklyn Park Com.
missioners undertook to provide them with
it. Pipes were laid from the pump we'll in
Prospect Park to the Island, and the hotels
are now'well supplied, the Park Commits
sioners depending on the Mount Prospect
reservoir to make up any deficiency or to
furnish the supply in case of an accident to
the Park pump we'll. The Commissioners
are, Of course, willing to pay for the water
they may use from the reservoir out Of the
amount received by them from the hotels,
but Oh overzealous purveyor and stupid
Board of City Works object to the arrange
ment and threaten to leave Coney Island in
danger OF loss of pure water.
The Brooklyn people ought to have sense
enough to see that the dog-in-the-manger
policy Of the Board of City Works threatens
to do them much injury. Anything that
damages Coney Island must damage Brook
lyn, and certainly the chance of being left
without wholesome drinking water will deter
thousands who have children from visiting
the Island. Brooklyn could well afford to
lay main to Coney Island and supply all
the hotels there free Of cost. But the pres
ent arrangement does not contemplate any
such generosity. The Park Commissioners
are to be paid by the hotels on the Island
for oil the water used, and the former are in
their turn to pay the city Of Brooklyn for
any quantity that may be drawn from the
reservoirs to complete the supply at the
Island. This is fair business arrangement.
New York money mainly supports Coney
Island, and the Brooklyn people are well
come to it. But it is u very poor policy on
the part of any Brooklyn authorities to in
jure the business of the Island or to do any
act that will deter New Workers from using
it as ahealthful and pleasant summer resort,

How the AngIo-Turkish Treaty Ii
Regarded.

1t appears that Russia is entirely satisfied
with the action of England in gaining pos
session of Cyprus. Prince Gortschakoff
smilingly tells Earl Beaconsfeld that it is
all right Russia, he says, perceives no
difference between the occupation Of Malta
and that of Cyprus In other words, Russia
quietly turns over the consideration OF the
question to the Mediterranean Powers in
terested and allows them to settle it at
their convenience with England. 1t
will be remembered that Malta was one
of the chief bones of contention
during the Napoleonic wars. The island
was seized by England in the same manner
as she accomplished her occupation of Glib
raltar. The interested nations France,
Austria, Italy and Spain-cannot therefore
feel impressed with sense of security for
their interests in the waters that wash their
respective shores when the chief maritime
Power in the world seizes successfully the
three strategic points that give control OF
an immense sea to their armed occupant.
Already we hear the mutterings of alarm
and discomfort. The journals of Italy and
France have plainly expressed their hostil-
ity to Beaconsfeld's Cyprus job. Austria
and Germany, and certainly Russia, are
preparing to profit by the precedent set
for them by the Power whose Foreign Office
has been apparently transferred from
Downing street to Petticoat lane.

iscontent In Russia.

Discomfort exists in all countries, and
shoulders, like smothered fire for genera
tions or flares up in fierce and bloody revo-
lutionary outbursts, as the nature of the
race differs or as the organization of society
affords or denies the opportunity for agree
mcnt between masses of the people in a
common purpose. Naturally the world re-
CARDS any great discomfort, any widespread
tendency to revolt in Russia, as n natural
reaction of human nature against the op-
pressive machinery OF an absolute despot-
ism, and men are inclined to believe that
we are shortly to see in murderous massa-
cres and burning cities the consequence
perhaps the close of that continued tyranny
which has figured in SO much history
and romance and the great elements
of which were the knout and the
a spirit of revolt, iostered and propagated
by secret societies and making itself appar-
ent mainly by assassination, is an evidence
that the Russian system, is near its end--is
almost face to face with great day OF reck-
oning---what government is there in the
world that, tried by this rule, has any
reason to boast of it's stability? In no age
of our own history has the knout been any
part of the official system and we have no
Siberia. Our police are formidable only
through kind of rugged brutality that is
rcgrettable chiefly when misdirected, and
from the evils of personal tyranny we have
suffered singularly little. We possess, more
over, institutions that are supposed to make
it easy for the people to remedy all griov-
ances within reach of the law. Yet in this
country we are pestered by the same sort Of
discomfort that has seized on parts OF the
Russian Empire; discomfort propagated in
the same way and proposing a sort of gen.
eral scheme of assassination as the remedy
for oil evils. There appears to be through
out the civilized world just now general
effervcscence OF ideas on the relations Of
man to society and government that is not

TIE WEATnER.-The local rains yesterday
proved "a great boon to the parchcd city. They
were preceded by spell of exceedingly sultry
weather which seemed to weight down the cncr-
girs of those whose business nccessitated active
employment. Toward evening an exceedingly
irregular distribution of pressures extended
westward from the Middle Atlantic coast and
the curvatures Of the isobars Immediately be-
low,the mean and marking the limits of the
general depression that extends from the upper
lakes eastward over Canada and the British At.
lantc provinces, formed u series of abrupt un-
dulatons, in the concavi,ics of which local
storms of considerable severity were developed.
That which passed SO rapidly over the Middle
States and visited this city was formed over
Pennsylvania and povcd northeastward with
very heavy rains. Similar disturbances occur
rel along the zone of latitude between
thirty-fvc and forty,fivc degrees. Rains
also fell lightly on the Gulf and South Atlantic
coasts within the influence of the depression
that extends over the Gulf of Mexico. The
high pressures arc in the West and the South
Atlantic and East Gulf States. Temperatures
arc generally lower within the hrca of rainfall,
but have risen in the central valley region and
nj some localities in the Northeast. We regard
ss probable the occurrence OF "a violent wind
storm or tornado in Iowa and Wisconsin such
a storm may visit the Michigan lake shores.
Heavy local winds in the West and very fresh
winds ON the East Atlantic coast mark the only
exceptions to the general prevalence of light
brcczcs. The weather In New York and it's
vicinity to day will bc warm and partly cloudy
Dr. fair, with probable showers and southwest to
northwest winds. Tomorrow fair weather, with
--ntbwe to west winds.

A Paradise for pO,fticia us.

1t is with sincere qualification that we
direct the attention Of those New York
politicians who are out of luck and out at
elbows at home to the brilliant prospect
open before them at kootenay. They will
learn the facts by perusal of despatch
from San Francisco, published to-day.
kootcnay is on the southern border of
British Columbia. The bold democracy Of
New York may object to it on that account;
but all such trining drawbacks as tho Brit
ish lion AMI the Union Jack will sink into
insignificanco when the advantages Of
residence near Kootenay are properly
understood. Kootenay has only forty
five regular voters holds elections
and elects two members Of Parliament
one-twelfth of the whole representa-
tion. To make up for the scarcity
OF resident voters American citizens who
live over the line "cross the border, take
some sort of an oath before magistrate
and control the election" A New York
ward politician would not stick ut the trihe
of 'some sort of an oath, especially when,
in addition to controlling the election,
votes are bought, and, of course, paid for
"openly at the polls" What vast amount
of trouble it would save the patriotic lead

organizations ii Kootenay were just across

ever, In placing him in position, so that
not the slightest portion of his cheek should
impinge upon the ties, for any neglect OF
this precaution would intensity vibrations
so terribly that the citizens OF the most re-
mote corner of the city would imagine that
some gigantic phonograph which had absorb
ed all the racket of the Stock Exchange had
suddenly gone off without warming Where
tramps cannot be found in sufficient guam
local politicians might be worked with sat-
isiactory results, for while some Of these are
hard rather than soft their consciences
have quality OF elasticity which would
more than counterbalance the rigidity OF
the receiving medium. The nice young men
who hang about theatre entrances would af-
ford fair substitutes for either of the
classes named above but while the thea
tres are closed it might be advisable to draw
upon the youths who infest the doorways OF
churches at the close of services, though 1T
is possible that these might prove too soft
for use. On the curves, where it is said
the most noise is created, it would proba-
bly, be necessary 10 use imported elastic
material, but the Investigations Of the
Potter Committee have shown that this can
be obtained. in any quantity from Louisi-
ana, and doubtless either political party
in that State would be glad to send
on large supply free of charge, asking
only that it should not be returned if un-
used The only trouble to be apprehended
from the use Of this would be that anything
as elastic as the memories of some Of the
Southern material alluded to would be too
much Of a good thing and cause trains to
jump the track.
