passing through Behring Strait some days
orweeks earlier. In the short Arctic season
even day and often even an hour gained
is of inestimable value and importance.
We are confident that Captain De Long
and his well selected and brave crew will
do their best to make up tor the time thus
unhappily lost; but We prefer at this time
to make note of the fact that they are not
in any case to blame, and that when it was
discovered, at late day and just before the
expedition was to sail, that the Navy Depart
ment found itself unable to send a convoy
steamer, it was at the same time unfor-
tunately the case that no private steamer
tit for the service was obtainable on any
terms in San Francisco. The season was
then SO far advanced that the Jeanette had
to sail at once or sacritce a whole year, and
thus she departed in the condition Captain
De Long described.

The Saratoga Platform.

Nobody will be surprised to read that
Vice President Wheeler has ferociously
''raised the bloody shirt" or that his wild
and bitter speech at the Convention yester-
day was an adroitly administered rebuke of
the Presidents Southern policy, which has
always been hateful to Mr.. Wheeler. The
poor Vice President has never been able to
forgive the Louisiana democrats for the
swindle he forced upon them in 1875,
under the name Of the "Wheeler Compro-
mise"
But we are sorry to see Senator Conkling
ranting in the same tone, and the platform
reviying the old sectional issues and striv-
ing to increase and perpetuate suspicion
and hatred between the sections. General
Garfield was, in our Judgment, wiser
than Messrs. Wheeler and Conkling,
and more accurately expressed the real
feeling Of the country when he said
last December, in Congress, that ''the
man who would attempt to get up political
excitement on old sectional issues would
find himself without the support Of the
country, but the man who wanted to gain
the good will Of the country must put him.
self in the line of its leading thought, and
that was the restoration of business, trade.
sound political economy, sound money and
the honest payment of public obligations.
If Mr.. Conkling had silenced the vindictive
Vice President, and had put this sentence
of Garfield's in his own speech and into the
platform, Mr.. Cornelps election would bo
assured without a peradventure. The coun-
try is weary of the everlasting partisan
attempts to stir up new strife. 1t is
moro and more satisfied of tho wis
dom of President Hayes pacifying policy.
1t sees an immense improvement in the
South since the new policy was begun;
and it sees, too, that time is necessary to
heal old sores, and that to constantly tear
them open. as some of the republican lead
ers are doing, is unwise and hurtful to the
country.
But after oil it depends upon the demo-
Gratis to enable the people'to express them
selves upon this point. If the democratic
factions go on fighting each other, buster
ing and quarrelling, the republicans. who
are united, will carry the State, even on
bad platform.

tho Police Commissioners, who are sup

followed suit and attempted to double itself,
neglecting its proper duties in the mean

No Fight.

If anybody expected this year repetition
of last years scene at the Republican Con-
vention he has met with disappointment.
The rout of the anti-Conkling men was too
complete; and, moreover, the election this
year is too important to be hazarded by
dissensions. Mr.. Cornell may not suit
oil the republicans; but the demo-
Gratis may as we'll make up their
minds that they have got to meet
o united republican party this fall. If they
count for q victory upon divisions among
their opponents they will only bring upon
themselves a smashing and lasting defeat.
If any democrat imaginos that he can win
by buster. or that the State of New York is
n sort OF big primary meeting, he will wake
up wiser and sadder man early in Novem-
Der.
The republican party, administration and
oil, is hitched on to Mr.. Conkling's car, and
though considerable part of it would
rather have gono in different train they
are all travelling tho same road, and will
not separate until after election day. 1t is
not q good time for the democrats to be
fighting each other.

The Kiddlc Campaign.

There is no division or department Of the
public service in which the people have a
moro direct or homefelt interest than that
of the public schools. Nearly three and o
half million dollars year are spent in that
service, and tho children OF the people are
taught and trained and started in tho world
for better or worse on the system that tho
school authorities favor. 1t is II great mis-
fortune and far-rcaching public evil to
have an unfit man in the principal execu-
tive Office Of this educational system. Con-
sequently, when it was demonstrated last
year that Mr.. Kiddle. tho actual Superin-
tendent of the schools, was an unfit
man, the common Judgment of tho people
was that he must be displaced. People may
DO divided as to whether such place should
be held by man of distinct religious convic-
tions, yet no doubt tho vast majority would
prefer to sec a religious man there. Opin-
ion aud judgment however, are so inde-
pendent in this community that this issue
would be hardly taken into account in the
case of q thoroughly capable man. But Mr.
Kiddle in forcing it, has shown n want of
common sense and tact that alone proves
him unequal to tho duties Of an important
place. He is irroligious as to oil orthodox
creeds, and holds n faith that insults the
intelligence OF all recognized theology, yet

more certainly cease because that faction
which in its desperation might have thrown
the State away. as it has done before, has
just carried the day at Saratoga. The other
faction scolds, but it does not bolt
What the democrats need, to win, is a
ticket which will harmonize their party aud
secure them all their voters. Governor Sey-
mour could do this beyond doubt;
but he Is out of the race; he will
not serve Sanford E. Church can
do it. more probably than any other
man, and We think those democrats in
the interior of the State wise who
are just now urging his nomination. 1t is
possible that there are other men who can
do it, but it is ut least doubtful, and this is
not q case where risks can safely be taken.
AS to Governor Robinson, his denomination
would only intensity faction fight in
the democratic party, which has already
gone so far that the Express, the leading
Tammany organ, has declared openly and
ominously within three days that ''the in
terests of the democrats of this city and
those of their municipality would suffer
less from republican Governor than from
Robinson"-a portentous declaration, to
which we would call more particular atten-
tion if our contemporary were not in so
irascible mood.
What the democrats need is union. II
they nominate ticket next Wednesday
which all the party will support, and which
is Of high and unexceptionable character,
they have o fair prospect Of carrying the
State. If the factions continue to bluster
and quarrel they will undoubtedly make

he is not nationally independents OF
religious conviction, but declares him
self in sympathy with religious
fancy that is the offspring of the
feeblest superstition aud the densest
Ignorance. But that point aside and judg-
ing the man merely on the literary merits
OF his remarkable book, it is evident that
his rank as an educator is certainly not
higher than that of head of rag school.
In the HERALD to-day we give letter eX-
tracted from the forthcoming number OF
ScriJne''s Monthly, in which Mr.. Kiddle
defends his revelations" from the criti-
clsm OF that magazine. 1t is perhaps even
stronger evidence than any he has hith-
erto furnished of his Inconsistencies OF
tho existence of elements of difference be-
tween q sound mind and an imbecile one
lie does not know and cannot comprehend
how far he is from being the man ofsuperior
faculties which he imagines himself Some
OF the lunatics in the asylums who imagine
themselves to be town pumps are nearer
the truth than he is in supposing himself
to bo prosecuted man of genius. It is
preposterous to have such man at the
head OF our public schools. Yet he is there.
He resigned, but to hold Office till his sue
cessor should be appointed. An intrigue
prevents the appointment of his successor
in order to keep him in place, and mean
time an official pressure is brought to bear
upon teachers to force them to sign petit
tions in favor of his retention. That this
could happen shows how the school system
has become demoralized under this mans
superintendency.

An Inxcstigntion Needed.

The documents produced yesterday by
Commissioner Wenman and read to the
Park Commission give apparent color to
some of the charges that have been made by
the president of the commission against his
brother Commissioner, Mr. Lane. Either
Mr.. Lane is guilty OF offences unbecoming q
public official or he is shamefully perse-
cuted man. II tho latter, he deserves
speedy vindication, and his traducers
should be severely dealt with; If the
former, the city and the taxpayers should be
promptly relieved Of him as n member of the
Park Commission. The documents alluded
to may be capable of a different construc-
ton from that which is put upon them by
Mr.. Wenman, but it is unfortunate for Mr.
Lane that he, under the peculiar aspect of
the case, should have been tho only mom-
Der of the Board who voted against the re-
quest for an investigation.

The Middle or the Bonapartists.

The imperialists who, like Cassagnac, were
Plon was their only chance in Bonapartist
party seem to have extensively changed
their minds. 1t does not appear that Cas-
sagnac has changed his mind. but most of
those who were affected by his lead in
that direction ore apparently now con-
vinced that it was an error. They who
maintain that the Empire is q principle
separated from all personalities that it
depends upon q plebiscite and not upon a
Bonaparte; that the.dynasty of the Ma
poleons may be continued with Brown,
Jones or Robinson or their Gallo equiva-
lents on the throne, do not appear to mako
many converts. None of these pretexts to
get away from the headship of Jerome are
successes unless they are regarded from his
point of view. He, as the head of the
house, may possibly congratulate himself
upon the fact that the discipline of ad-
versity is purging his party of all those
light-witted, noisy personages who never
do party much good, but always compro-
misc it by extreme partisanship in the day
of success. Happy will it be for the Bona
parte faction if it can be said some day that
all the schemers, sharpers, rogues and
harpies who swarmed in its ranks
have gone over to other parties. One
thing seems pretty clear-the future,
as perceptible now, affords precious
little chance for the imperialists, no
matter who is the leader; but if it afford
any chance at all they must. to profit by
that slight possibility, have at their head
man possessed of the very qualities
of Plon-Plon. They must have man who
can pretend in plausible way that he is o
republican--a believer in the democracy
and prepared to serve it in his own way; for
no Napoleon can obtain any vantage ground
in France in this day save as a candidate
elected to Office. He may repeat with
Characteristic differences the game Of
Louis Napoleon. He cannot repeat the
game of Napoleon !. Should there be
Bonaparte with military genius enough
to give France her 'revanche'' in war
against Germany he might have chance
in the heroic way; but that kind of Bona
parties is run out. Bonapartes now can
only succeed by pretending republicanism,
as the last did, in order that they may get
near enough to stab the Republic. Plon-
Plon has played the republican all his life.
and all that he has done in that way comes
pat to the purpose now, and he is their
man above oil others.

T,iu,o, liberal journal with q leaning toward tho

it denied that the insurgents arc Cubans. and do
clared that the Cubans are opposed to removal of
the instruction. This version appears to bo most
trustworthy. as tho Cubans would not be likely to
begin another nsurrcction with small and scattered
bands. and. moreover. mono Of their principal ex-
chiefs are disposed to take any risks at prosont.
Captain General Blanco has only returned tempo

The Polar Expedition.

SO much Is expected from the Polar expe-
peculiar circumstances under which she
has been sent and from the fact that she
is taking the Behring Strait route, which is
now favoraby regarded by all who have
studied the Polar problem, that we regret
to read in Lieutenant De Longs first
report to the Navy Department that
at the outset he has met with diff
culties which have caused such de-
lays as may mako him lose season,
which is equivalent to prolonging his search
for an extra year. Lieutenant DE Long
writes to the Secretary of tho Navy I'll
can but deploro that the necessity of load
ing the ship SO deeply at San Francisco has
made our progress thus far 80 slow, owing
also to head winds and swell, MS to mako it
doubtful whether we shall be able or not to
profit by the open water in the Arctic Sea
in our efforts to gain a high latitude
this season." This official letter of
Captain De Long, and the despatch of the
HERALD correspondent s with the expedition,
both show that the vessel was heavily over
laden; and it is to be regretted that she
could not have had the assistance of n
steamer to carry some part of her coal and
stores TO Oonalaska, where she could have
coaled from this convoy, and thus, by
making quicker passage northward. had u
better chance to catch the open water by
