THE 1RCTTC COLONIES.

Americans are taking the lead in the inter-
national scheme of Polar observation devised
by Lieutenant Weyprecht. During the last
wear they have established two colonies, one at
Point Barrow, latitude To north, lOngi'
Jude 1852 west, and the other at Lady
Franklin Bay, latitude 50 ~ north, longi-
Jude 65o west The ST. Louis Globe Demo-
crat publishes extracts from letters written
by DIR. Pavy, of the second expedition,
so recently as September. AT this high lat-
tude Lieutenant Greelcy's men were then pre-
pairing to build a house to be called Fort Con-
ger, which would be at once an observatory and
a base of supplies for sledging parties. 1t may
be confidently expected that they will 30 be-
vond the furthcst point reached by Mares in
1873. which is the closest approach that has
vet been made to the Pole. AS Grant Land has
already been explored for a long distance west
ward along Lincoln Sea, they will probably
follow the coast of Hall Land on the Green
land side, in the hope that, unlike the other
shore, it will lead northward beyond Mount
FaTagut. AS the arrangements for sledging
have been made with painsta!iing care and the
outfit is tolerably complete, important results
will undoubtedly be accomplished. The
Smiths Sound and Kennedy Channel line of
approach is peculiarly an American route, as it
has been traversed by Kane, Hayes and Hail,
and it will be source of patriotic pride if Lieu
tenant GIeeley's cOlonists succeed in distancing
Mares and creeping a hundred miles nearer to
the Pole.
A Russian expedition has also set out on a
land journey Of over 5000 miles to open a
meteorological observatory at the delta of the
Lena, in latitude 73o north, longitude 1902 east
Sixty years ago Lieutenant AnjOu, Wrangell's
associate, pushed northward in sledges from the
same quarter, and after completing survey of
the Siberian Islands reached latitude nearly
as high as that attained by the Jeanette when
she was crushed in the ice. AS he was stopped
by open water it is not probable that the present
expedition can go further unless they make ex-
ploratons later in the season, and in boats
rather than sledges; and this, we believe, does
not form any part of their plan of operations
The Russians had intended to open n colony al
Moller Bay, on the south western edge of NOvaia
Zemlia, a point which would have been ex
tremely favorable for observations and alsC
for explorations in the direction of Franz JOSEF
Land but the project has been abandoned fo
lack of means. While the work TO be prose

EnnIING TILE PURLIC-

Are the dear people all fools ? The pOliti-
clans act ms if they thought so. Some recent
utterances of the politicians who rule Us show
an amazing faith in public gullibility. They
talk as though people were fools and blind; as
though words could impose upon public which
knows n little something about the ways OF
politics and politicians, and is not entirely
blind to the motives that govern human con-
duet. There was a good deal of the high and
lofty strain INDUCED in on Monday by persons
who must have had their tongues IN their
cheeks Our excellent Mayor, for instance III
his annual message said some very beautiful
things about the need of reform in the admins
tration of the municipal service and the de
sirablcness of a change in existing conditions
which should make ability, attachments ana
character the highest claim upon Office The
Mayor must have written those passages with
his tongue in his check. He evidently thinks
that credulous and gullible community have
FORGOTTEN the character Of his own appoint
ments or that they are so ignorant as not to
know that he himself needed no /" changed con-
ditionsr 10 DO what he has not done" make
ability attainmcnts and character the highest
claim upon Office" He picks up the public for
a fool.
Then there was the Democratic sccsawinS at
Albany all donc-it must have bcen-by actors
who went through it with tongues in their
cheeks and many whispered asides among
themselves. Why, everybody lnOws-nOthiDg
is more notorious that the only thing that
keeps the two Democratic factions apart at
Albany * the matter of patronage; that both
are holding off like hOrsc-iockeys. for no other
purpose than to get the better OF one another
in the trade about to he made. And yet they
stood off and postured before the public, and
snapped" committees, and made formal ap-
proacles to each other with talk on the one side
about harmonzing the party and recognizing
the will of the majority, and on the other about
opposing chartered monOpolies and defending
the rights Of the people, just a. though the
dear people did not see through 1t all and I'M
derstand that the real question at bottom is who
shall have the Offices, with no principle what
ever involved Perhaps we ought to leave ont
of the category of statesmen who go about with
tongue in cheek Senator Boyd, of this city, who
is innocent enough, and in the language OF his
co-labOrer Grady, " fresh enough, to actually
believe in something. He can hardly be
charged with trying to fool the people. He is
100 much occupied with fOolng himself.
All these people, and all demagOgues in fact.
make a great mistake in putting SO low an esti-
mate upon the popular intelligence. The peo-
ple are not fools nor easily imposed upon.
They only look wondeungly ON at these demon
STATIONS, wishing that the mummeries would
cease and that the grinning political jockeys
would leave their damnable faces and beg in.

We print in another column the resolutions

one of the ablest lawyers of st. Louis, ana
adopted the other day by the Missouri Bar
Association. 1t will he seen that they indorse
Senator DAVID Davis's bill, which increases the
number of Circuit Judges and creates

mine without appeal all cases save those
which, from the nature or importance OF the

been really willing 10 submit to and uphold

rule at the South, and never have ruled, ana nj

"a that class wishes enforced. You have one
law for the rich and another for the poor, one

The consequence of this state of things Is
that life and property are not secure. lhoy
have not the protection at the South OF eqnai
laws fairly and faithfully administered. ihls
fact appears with especial clearness at the So
called elections. Contests are common because
the election is usually fraud. Until the South
can get rid of this state of things, and put

pFLTFV1yG THE SUPREME COTPT

A number of measures have been brought
forward in Washington to relieve the Supreme
Court so that it can more easily carry the bur-
den of work thrown upon it by the growth of
the country The need of some measure for
this purpose is evident to every one who has
looked into the subject, and painfully evident
to the Justices of the Court, who, in spite of
labor far more arduous than should be required
of men in their high and responsible position,
find it impossible to reduce their docket at one
end as fast as it expands at the other One of
the plans proposed is TO increase the number of
Justices to twenty -one. This is of questionable
value, because if the Court sat rs now, in full
bench. no more causes could he heard than
at present, and the only gain would be in OBJ
tanning more Judges to write opinions On
the other hand, if the Court divided into three
tribunals to hear and determine different
classes of suits, the decision of these fractional
Courts would not be willingly accepted by
beaten litigants as the verdict of the one
supreme tribunal, and would besides DO of
doubtful consttutonality.
Another plan is to make n subordinate tri-
bunal of fifteen Judges to sit in Washington
and hold seive TO catch certain specified
classes of cases and keep them off the docket
of the Supreme Court. This scheme is even
worse than the other. To establish sort of as
sistant Court of inferior standing and character.

II may perhaps be remembered that there was n
deadlock in the last Legislature of This State upon
the election of United States Senators. III was Oc-
casioned by small faction OF COnkllng RepuDli-
cans who o6stinatey refusing to recognize the VIII
of the majority succeeded in unnecessarily prolohg-
ing the session for several weeks. Tho Democratic
newspapers laid the responsibility OF it upon the he
publican majority and made it matter OF bitter
complaint. II was at length mildly suggested to
them that if they considered the continuance OF the
deadlock such waste of time aud so disgraceul
the Democrats in the Legislature, who were IN
minority and unable to elect candidates of their
own might as graceful concession of the rights OF
the Republicans, give their votes TO the candidates
nearest a majority, and 80 end the deadlock The
suggestion was received by Democrats on all hands
with dersion But the present deadlock IN the Leg
lslaiJre had not lasted tWenty-four hours before
Democratic newspaper calling upon Rcpubl-
cans 20 end it by gracefully yielding to the Demo
cratic majority the right to organize both branches
and assisting IN the election of the candidates Of tho
Democratic caucus. How things have changed!
Some of the London papers have preserved COM
mon sense in reference to the Treaty
issue. The ST. Ianes's Gazette concludes moderate
article thus: " Nor can we mistake tie significance
of the elaborate parallel which Mr. Blaine draws
between the policy Of England with respect to her
