up as follows The difficulties exist, but
are not serious, and will be temporary
while his assets are in excess of his liza
blllties. The embarassments only apply
to Mr.. Bradiord's real estate affairs, and
do not affect his business in the least. Ii

When he went into ~railroading, he

ron TIE r III POLE.

Our kilograms to-day announce that
the arrangements for the departure of
the steam yacht Jeanette for the Arc
tics are about completed. She will
soon start to attempt q northern pas
sage around North America. 1t will
be remembered that she was taken
around to the Pacific for the purpose of
steaming to the relief of Prof. Norden-
skiold, who was supposed to be ice
bound on the coast of Siberial Now
that the gallant professor is not only
safe, but has been the first in the world
known to have gone from ocean to
ocean, by a northern passage, the
object of the Jeneatte's crew has been
changed. Lieut.. DeLong will attempt
to accomplish for America what Nor
denskjold has for Europe and Asia.
Everybody, lat least all Americans,
will join in the hope that the mission
of the Jeneatte will be successful.
1t should be mentioned that this
great enterprise is purely OF a private
character. The entire expenses are
born, unaided, by the New York Her
aid. A victory, then, means glory for
the press, which, In this advanced age,
sends forth succor to explorers confined
In the interminable jungles of mid
Africa; or enlightens the geographical
world with data relative to some of the
greatest rivers of earth and strangest
people; or manages a weather bureau
that fortells the meteorological changes
of both America and Europe; that
blesses mankind in many other ways
outside of the original scope of journal
ism.
After so many fruitless attempts to
grit the Arctic circle, the commander
of the present expedition, Lieut.. De
Long, will strain every effort to the
point of rupture, to accomplish his
mission. The writer knows him to be

t%enacity of purpose. In our Judgment,
no man, better fitted by nature to

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, has had an
experience somewhat similar to other
cities that we wot of. The board of
aldermen is equally divided in politics,
and for weeks there vas a dead lock
over the mayors nomination of n chief
of police, the vote being three to three
every time. At last the mayor CON
ceived the brilliant idea of getting one
of the three on his side to change the
usual motion for confirmation to s'that
the nom nation be rejected and as of
course, the vote still stood three to
three and the motion was not carried,
he coolly declared that his man was
the legal chief and proceeded to install
him in office. The mayor blocked all
motions criticizing his conduct, though
both sides finally agreed to ask the
opinion of good parliamentary author
titles. As may be supposed, this opin-
ion was dead against the mayors
course, but when the opposition tried
to push a resolution declaring the office
of chief of police vacant he resumed
his former tactics, first ruled it out of
order and then, when an appeal was
taken, ordered one Of the dissenting al
dermen to ''sit down. At last ac-
counts the mayor was calling sundry
people liars,the aldermen whom he has
snubbed were threatening to stay away
from council meetings, and there was
no telling where the thing would
end.

evenly balanced in the affections of
their party that it may be necessary to
start a third candidate, to wit, Hayes.

AMERICANS may we'll be excused for
taking pride in the victory of Edward
Hanlan, over the champion sculler Of
England. The career of the man since
he first appeared in public has been
wondrous. He lost one or two races Of
minor Importance before carrying off
the honors Mt the Centennial regatta,
which quite surprised everybody who
has any acquaintance with aquatic
sports. The conviction o became
prevalent that an accident threw the
victory to Hanlan, and no more was
thought Of him until he challenged one
after another Of the best oarsmen of the
country, and o every race. His sue
cess over Elliott marks his second vic
tory over Englishmen. There are now
no oarsmen in the world to gainsay his
title to the championship. Should any
one come forward hereafter and dis
lance him, he will have gained a proud
distinction indeed.
