RENNErrAND TIE NORTH POLE.

We Have long since recognized the power
OF the New York Herald as newspaper.
We have admired its enterprise, though we
have not always applauded its theories. But
1t is not OF the Heralds views upon current
political questions that we now propose to
write. Having vast revenues the Herald has
shown disposition to expend them in enter
prises outside of the ordinary line of news.
paper work. 1t is quite possible that James
Gordon Benefits purpose to confer lasting
fayors upon the world ought to be consid-
cred quite independent of bis proprietorship
of the greatest newspaper in the world.
This, however, seems impossible,
and we. in common with the peo-
pie everywhere, are quite willing
to associate with his enterprises the Herald.
We do not however, sympathize with those
who attribute to Mr.. Bennett the simple
sordid purpose of advertising his newspaper.
In the words of contemporary, 1.-The Herald
needs no advertising" We prefer TO con-
slider the grandeur of the schemes that Mr..
Bennett organizes and the devotion which
he. shows in their success. The African
NBcNANAci VI '-t1%hACgY SOhSANNANN AAOil1 oAAg
standpoint, is simply grand. There is moth
ing like it on record. From the first it
commended itself to philanthropists and
scientists, and results show conclusively that
SIR. Bennett comprehended the subject in
all OF its magnitude. A terrc incog-
Mia was explored and a pathway
blazsd out for others to travel if they
chose to avail themselves Of the advantages
which Mr. Benefits enterprise has secured.
American journalism has right to feel a
just pride in the grand achievements Of the
Herald. The nations OF the earth were the
parties st interest geographical societies bad
massed their forces, but it was left for
pr Eate individuals to solve the problem
from revenues derived from journalism.
Previous success warrants the conclusion
that Mr.. Bennett will find the north pole or
demonstrate that success is beyond the power
of man. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
congress will respond favorably to his re-
quests, and IL possible MIR. Bennett Will
solve a problem that has for many years
defed the resources of governments and the
energies Of men. We feel assured that Ben
nttl's expedition will realize thu largest ex-
pectatisns of the word.

THE BEST MEN.

The state of Indiana is democratic by
large majority. Distinguished radicals adj
NIT it, but will the next legislature be DEM
ocratic? The question demands the most
serious c0nsid Iteration. The democratic party
is required 20 look the situation square in
the face. The radical party, as if antci pat
ing It's certain doom, cOncOcted most out
rageoUs districting scheme, for the purpose
OF main tanning ascendenCy in the state by
DISTINGUISHING democrats. The party hopes
now TO triumph by the gerymanderi3g swim
die. Without the districting fraud RAJ calism
would not have a ghost of a chance TO secure
the next legislature. To overcome radical
ism in Indiana the democratic party must mass
all OF its torces-moral, intellectual and
political. IL must 60 into the campaign
with candidates OF acknowledged power. In
a word for all officers the best men must be
ncminated-msn OF character, experience
and acknowledged ability. With such men
victory IS CERTAIN; without them results viii
be doubtful. There should be no hesitaucy
on The part OF democrats Of high standing to
permit their names 10 BE- used as candidates
for the various Offices to be filed at the
coming election, and this is especially re-
quired IN the legislative contest. There is
no use ior Disgusting the fact-the campaign

tend with desperation TO maintain its as
tendency in the Legislature for success
means a radical United States senator
in the place of Senator Voorhees, The DEM
ocra.ic party will stand in need OF its power
and popularity, and these are sufficient to
achieve victory if its best men are placed in
nomination. The state ticket is strong, and
the candidates will make gallant fight; but
this, however much it may be applauded,
will not make up for mistakes in making
nominations for the legislature and other
Offices Democrats should take into consid-
Grafton the obstacles TO be overcome, and
insist that the beat men III every county
shall be placed in nomination. We are
satisfied this wall be done, and that the next
legislature q Indiana will be democratic.

THE LABOR CAPITAL OF THE COUN.
Try.

We have heard much of late OF public
credit, public faith government bonds prin-
cipal aud interest, etc. We have made a
note of the extreme anxiety on the part Of
Hayes aud those who think and act with him
to so shape the legislation OF the country
that those who control the money capital OF
the world shall be exempt from the posi-
bflity OF loss, while the labor capital Of the
country is subjected to increased embarrsss-
ments by tOsal disregard Of its claims for
recognition by those who shape the business
and financial policy OF the country. 1t
would not DC a difficult task TO show that
for years past, and until quite recently,
every act Of congress has been IN the inter-
est OF the money power. and in direct conflict
with labor. The legislation that changed
the contract by which the bonds,
principal and interest were made pay
bic in coin instead Of greenbscks,
was the severest blow that was ever
directed against the business Interests of the
country. Every industrial enterprise felt
is effect, and while money capital secured
vast benefits from the violation OF the con-
iract, labor capital had its burdens Indefn-
.tply increased. The demonstration of
silver was another move in the same direc-
ton, and the effect has been disastrous to
very description OF legitimate business, and
"a d consequence labor has suffered. The
law hxing day, January 1, 1879 for the re-
sumption Of specie payments, was designed

1t il related of Garrett Davis, when he was
in congress, that one afternoon, as he was
taking nap in his chair, his next neighbor
give him a punch in the ribs and said:
Wake up, senator, your name has been

and asked the vice president what the vote
was on The vice president gave him the
name OF the bill. which was for the benefit
of a Kansas railroad, AIR exclaimed
Davis, now wide awake, "but want to know
before I vote the amount Of stealage in this

bill rose and said in meek tones: IF the
senator from Kentucky will permit me, 1
will state that have thoroughly examined
this bill, and assure him tnar if it contains

They have augmented its burdens while
they have sapped the very foundations of its
strength. 1t is manifestly true that for years
past, and until the democratic party
obtained control of the house of representa-
tives, labor had few friends in the national
legislature. 1t is now changed, and the
country is realizing the fact. Money capital
is not to absorb the entire attention of con-
gress in the future. This being true, it may
is the character and importance of
the labor interest that has been so
studiously ignored by the radical party?
We read much of the agricultural interests
of the country which relate to the magni
tude of crops and the surplus the country will
have for expectation; of commercial inter
ests, domestic and foreign, involving exports
and imports, balance of trade, tariffs, etc. +; of
mining interests, of railroad interests and
50 on to the end of the chapter all of these
interests are discussed, statistics gathered
and tabulated, and sent broadcast over the
land. To all of this we 90 not object. The
more accurate the information upon all the
great leading interests the better. But with
this great activity to obtain data touching
investments of money capital, 1T is astonish-
ing to note the fact that the necessity to
recognize labor or labor capital by legislative
action, or at least TO admit its importance by
not antagonizing it, has been studiously
overlooked. AS result labor is now pass
ing through the severest ordeal that ever
visited in this country. 1t is now sustaining
greater losses than any other interest, and
the effect upon all other interests, including
money capital, is disastrous to an extent
almost beyond exsggeration.
1t is admitted tibet the population OF the
United States is now As, 100000 OF these it
is safe to say one third, or Is, 900 900, earn
their living by labor contradistinguished
from work performed by those who belong
to professions or who are not classed as
labOrsrs. Those 100000 Of people are the
great producing class of the country. When
they are at work prosperity reigns every
where. When they are but half employed
or idle there is stagnation in all departments
of business. Let us see. If 1500O,000 per-
sons are employed at 81 per day the result is
labor produces 81 800 600, 900 annually To
overlook the interests of those who produce
such vast stores of wealth must be suicidal.
What has been the result of vicious Iegisla-
ton during the past ten years? We have
to day in the country at least 100000 of
unwilling idlers men and women anxious
to work, but who, owing to circumstances
created by measures passed through con-
gress in the interest of money, are forced to
remain idle and suffer the penalties that
ldleness inficts. The loss annually sustained
by this country by the idleness of 5000 coo
persons is not less than 81, 500, 900, 900. The
purpose now is to change the policy that
has contributed to the loss of such vast sums
OF money and has been productive of such
widespread suffsring-and the indications
are that bills hereafter brought forward in
congress to enrich the few and Cypress the
many will not become laws.
