Wanted ut the Pole.
From tho New York Times

There is, however, class Of people VIII
might very properly be permitted to go III
search Of the pole, with the distinct under.
standing that In no circumstances would
any expedition be sent to their relief. The
veople who insist on believing in the open
polar sea, and who to this folly add the
rimo Of lecturing upon it, could be per-
lifted to sail in search OF that impossible
sea without causing pang of regret oany
one, except, perhaps, their creditors.
There is now in this country TN
amiable and accomplished British naval
officer, who wants to go to the pole in a
balloon. Az yet he has not lectured suf1i-
ciently often to create any ungovernable
desire on the part of the public that he
should put his plan into execution, but
there is prospect that in course of time
the American as we'll es the English pub
lie will decide that the Arctic sea is yawn-
inc for him. In that case let him take all
the lunatics who think that polar explora-
tons is good thing. and let congress pass
law making it a capital offsnse for any
oAe to propose to 20 in search Of the pole,
and sensible people will no longer be
harassed by the anxieties to which polar
expeditions invariably give rise, nor vexed
at the w'ste Of money and energy which
they involve.
