Why De Long Perished,
his CHANCES OF LIFE THROWN AWAY
THROUGH IGNoRANCE--A RUS.
SLAMS VIEWS

a dispatch from Carson, New, says
the Appeal publishes the following this
morning: "Senator Jones, who is in
Carson, gives an account of De Longs
Arctic expedition, which he got from
Captain Nerbaum in San Francisco.
Nerbaum is Russian who has been
for many years in the service of the
Alaska Fur Company He was the
last man from whom the De Long
party received provisions. He says I:
De Long left my station, at almost the
northern point of Alaska, and far
nshed him, at the order of the Alaska
Fur Company, with sledges, dogs and
provisions. He took twenty seven
dogs and one Indian. account for the
loss of the party on the theory that
they killed the dogs. do not believe
that De Long knew anything about the
undertaking he was graphing with
and was ignorant of the means by
which he could move in that region. /
see by his diary that there was but one
dog left few days prior to his death.
He must have killed the dogs without
knowing their great value, and when
the dogs are gone there is absolutely
no hope lett. The dogs could not have
died or been lost They were killed.
The scent of these animals is remark
able and they will detect provisions no
matter where they may be. When men
in th se regions kill Polar bears and
have more meat than they can keep,
they cache the meat, and it sometimes
lies in the ice for years until discovered
by dogs. The ice is full of these
places. If you meet an Indian in that
region and kill his dog he lies down
and dies, considering that the better
part of him is gone. Another great
oversight was the neglect to take the
right kind of guns offered De Long
fowling piece made expressly to use
in the Arctic seas and calculated to
stand the climate. He refused it be.
cause he wanted a gun that you'd kill
bears l explained that he needed guns
for birds and not bears. He would not
listen to me, AID took Remington rifles,
the weight of which hampered him and
were of no use. He must have seen
sea fowl flying over his head all the
time, but could not kill them. The
diary says the Indian, after drawing
the sledge all day, would go out at
night and get birds and he kept the
party alive two weeks. Anywhere you
cut a hole through the ice and flash a
light down fish will smarm, !ut the
party had no fishing tackle All their
chances were thrown away through
ignorance. am not saying word
against De Long. l liked him person
ally, but he was not the man to com
mand the Arctic expedition The nol til
pole, in my estimation can be reached
only by following up the warm current
which flows to the pole, and beyond
there is the open sea Put men in such
an expedition who have been raised in
the northern part of Alaska and who
know all about the region and there is
a strong chance of success

The Star Route trial is again in pro-
gress at Washington, and it is to be
hoped that full justice will be done
THESE government plunderers. The
trial may last two or three months.
The following correspondence to the
Philadelphia Times gives pointed de-
scription of the case:
This case differs from most important
criminal prosecutions. There is no
reasonable doubt, and there can be no
reasonable doubt, of the deliberate and
repeated frauds perpetrated by the
defendants, by which the government
was robbed of millions of dollars. OF
the perpetration of these monstrous
frauds there can be no dispute, and
that Dorsey then Senator, and Brady
then the Assistant Postmaster General
who had charge of mail contracts, were
the chief criminals in conceiving and
executing these crimes,is Just as clearly
established as it is that Guitcau shot
Garfield. The frauds have been de-
tected; the amount of money stolen is
known; the parties who directed the
scheme of theft and most largely shared
the profits,are as we'll known as Arthur
is known as President. There is not a
single plausible ground for the defense
to stand upon on the merits of the case
The Judge knows the defendants TO be
guilty the counsel on both sides know
them to be guilty and every juror went
into the box knowing that the men
they are sworn to try, are neither more
nor less than confederation of the
most desperate and successful public
thieves. Such are the circumstances
under which the trial starts, and there
is only one way of escape for the Grim
inals. They must corrupt jurors or
witnesses, CT their conviction is as Ger
tain as the setting of the sun. Even
the political influence that once strongly
inclined to protect Dorsey and Brady
by indirection, has been quickened to
active hostility by Dorseys mad vitu-
peration of every public officer who
dared to demand the administration of
justice. President Arthur undoubtedly
strongly sympathized with Dorsey until
recently. He did not sympathize with
Dorseys crime, but he did profoundly
sympathize with the man who had, by
Star route political methods, elected
Arthur Vice President and thus make
him President; and he is human enough
not to desire to reward such services
with a felon's curse and punishment.
But Dorsey has pressed Arthurs for,
bearance too far, and nov Arthur for.
gels his gratitude to Dorsey as he re
members that he is the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, charged with the execu-
tloI of its laws, and he has manfully
accepted his duty. Dorsey's vitupera
tive publications made it necessity
for the President to refer to the Star
route trials in his annual message in nc
uncertain tone, and it is now known
that no power of the administration
will be, or dare be, employed to defeat
justice in the Star route cases. There
is, therefore, now no hope of escape for
Dorsey and Brady but by corrup,ing
jurors or witnesses or both.

The State Committee.

For many years it has been custo-
mary for ali political parties to elect
number OF persons to compose what
are known as State committees, whose
duties are to conduct campaigns.
They are selected in accordance with
the rules of the respective organiza
tions, either from representative, sena-
torial or congressional districts, or
from counties. BY the new rules of
the Democratic party, each county in
the State chooses member of their
committee, provision which is a wise
one. In former years the State COM
mittee has existed only in name, as all
the work of the campaigns has been
performed by the chairman and his
secretaries, or not at all. What the
party needs in this State, as well as
all over the Union, is thorough organ
ization, and the vast amount of labor
necessary to accomplish this object,
cannot be directed by two or three
men. 1t has been the rule that coun-
ty chairmen and their committees have
not performed the work that was as
signed them by the State chairman, or
that the latter has not given them the
necessary instructions so that they
could work intelligently in co operation
with him. The last campaign shows
what can be done when there is ac-
tive, energetic and enthusiastic leader.
ship. Most of the counties in the
State were thoroughly organized, the
chairmen were kept informed as to the
operations of the State committee, aud
the State committee knew what was
being done in each county. The cam
paign of this year was only the begin
ming of the work before the party
What needs TO be done is for every
county 10 elect members of the State
committee who will take an interest
in the cause, men who are not chronic
office seekers, and professional poll
ticiahs, and who are not working sim
ply for their own aggrandizement. A
committee made up of this latter elias:
would smack too strongly of bossism
and could not secure the confidence o
the people, nor the success OF the party
w naJ are wanted are energetic mel
who will give their time and talents t
the work before them, who will at
tend meetings at the call of the chair
man, and not leave him to bear thu
burden without any assistance or ad
vice-men who will be repaid for thei
own inconvenience and labor simpl,
by the party victory that must follow
perfect and harmonious organization
Then let the committee be factor il
the campaign, and not merely figur
head let them meet frequently, an'
consult and advise, and assist, and tn
result will be that twenty successiy
years of Republican msrule will neve
be known again in Pennsylvania
There is no man in the State bette
fitted to carry out such a programme
than the present chairman, W. u
Hensel, Esq. He has already begur
the good work, and change nov
would be a swap on the wrong bridge
He will undoubtedly be unanimousl.
reelected at the meeting of the com
mittee next month at Harrisburg
