The Enquirer remarks that the election
in Maine went the usual way yesterday,
which is to say, Republican. Once in awhile
it adds the opposition down there unite
and capture the State as was the case last
year, bnt when $4,000 is put up in the
ronl-box by single individual, the favor
ite is prettysure to win. Mr.. Blaine, says the
Enquirer further, has something better than
the election of Governor in view, or he
never would have put up one tenth OF that
sum to carry the State. Itnow thinksit John
Sherman's duty to put up s75, 900 to carry
Ohio, but does not believe he will. At any
rate it gives Blaine big boost as Presl-
Dental candidate. With Grant drawn
from the race Blaine becomes agood second
Conkling being the first. The Maine Legis,
ature it thinks will be close, which will be
interesting to Eugene Hale and Hannibal
Hamlin since United States Senator is to
be elected. 1t conclues, however, that Meth.
er the Democrats nor tile Greenbackers will
be torn up over the event. 1t claims
that both these parties have made q
gallant race. They were beaten, it says, by
the Federal Administration at Washington

along Siberia, and on the Goth, just ene
month out, they anchored at the north
of the Lena, another of the great rivers
of Siberia, whose waters are received
from as far as Lake Baikal, on the bord-
ers of China. Thus far no icy obstacle
had been encountered of any moment.
This was at 720 latitude, and longitude
1902 east. From this point eastward ice
was found that impeded their progress;
but ON the 2Sth of September they had
reached the mouth of the Kolinga River
on the Country of the Tchuktchi,"
northeastern Siberia, where they were
shut in by the ice, and where they spent
the winter of 1S7S-79.
This point had been reached in sixty
days from Tromsoe; and here, at 670
north, and 1862 east they were in 100
miles of the sea of Ochotsk, and only
about 700 miles from the Pacific at
Behring's Straits. Professor Nordenksjold
here found himself comfortably situated,
the health of his company good, provis-
ions in abundance supplied by the ma
tives, whose country was found populous
and the people quiet and agreeable.
Here the cold was intense during the
winter, reaching to 800 below zero; and
the Vega was not released from the ice
till July, 1879, just one year out from
Tromsoe. Resuming her voyage, she
reached Behring's Straits in three days
sail and Aoated on the waters of the Pa
cifc. The Northeastern Passage was
made and without the loss of a man.
OF course, the question arises-what
good will it do? The scientific discoy-
cries made during the expedition are not
yet made public, but are said to be nu-
merous and valuable. In Commercial
aspect, the advantages derivable are
problematical. But there seems to be a
probability that the passage may yet be-
come a practicable route for steamers
during certain portions of the year, from
the Asiatic and American coasts of the
Northern Pacific to the European ports
of the Northern Atlantic. If 50, the sail
ing distance may be immensely dimin-
ished from the voyage around by Africa
as now followed
Moreover, it is becoming known that
those large rivers flowing through ST.
IBERIA water some of the grandest plains
on the globe, abounding in furs, in grain,
in innumerable herds of cattle, horses
and sheep, in precious stones and mineral
wealth, reaching up into Mongolia, whose
whole vast commerce is now conducted
by overland routes to China. These riv-
ers are navigablc in the summer for hun
dreds of miles into the interior, and
through them could be collected no small
trade, should vessels be found able to
reach their mouths debouching upon the
Arctic Ocean.
Should the northeastern passage be
found practicable, no man can foretell
what may be the Commercial future Of
that vast Asiatic coast with its deep in
dentations of gulfs and bays and its Won
derful supply of Dayigable rivers,
abounding in fisheries, and populated by
millions of quiet nomadic tribes who as
yet have no outlet to the products of a
country which the world has too long I'M
derestimated.

Mr.. JonN A. CoCKRILL, formerly
editor of the Enquirer, of this city, is
now editor of the Baltimore Gazette.
He was always known as a brilliant, able
and industrious journalist, but up to the
time he left this city was not regarded as
model of piety. In fact if Baltimore,
which is highly moral city, in drawing
upon us for an editor had been explicit
in the statement that "truly pious" man
was wanted, tits probable that some other
gentleman than Mr. Cockrill would have
been sent. His growth in grace, however,
since he adopted diet of canvas back
duck, soft crabs, salt water terrapins
and Maryland biscuit is really wonderful,
as this paragraph from the Gazette of
Saturday indicative of his position on
the Sunday question shows: We
are assured by our contemporary, the
Morning Herald, that reporters for the
Gazette are in the habit of going about
the city gathering up news on Sundays
1t is impossible to prevent our reporters
from circulating throughout the city on
Sunday, because we have no right to lock
them up. If they work on that day
however, they violate our orders, and the
police are not only authorized but re-
quested to arrest and detain any person
found in the performance of bodily
labor in our interests on Sunday. Sucf
conduct is not only in contravention o.
our wishes but violation Of the laws o.
