THE ARCTIC FAILURE.

The statement of Capt. Mel
baum relative to the failure OF
the Arctic expedition published
in the APPEAL is raising a
storm of controversy in the East.
The New York Times says:
The dogs were killed because
there was no food for them. The
theory that Northern Siberia,
where polar bears are very rare,
is studded with caches of bears
meat, is rank nonsense. No
unprejudiced man can read the
testimony of the survivors of
the Jeanette without convic-
ton thet De Long was not only
a man of heroism but most
thoroughly admirable officer.
There is not a civilized nation
where his name is not held in
honor except in the United
States, where a few Of his coun-
trymen are apparently anxious
to smirch his fame.
No one is trying to smirch the
fame of De Long. An attempt
is being made simply to present
the facts. The testimony shows
conclusively that De Long was
vain, tyrannical and incompetent.
He was simply flower trans
planted from a naval academy
to the uncongenial climate of
the Arctic seas. More facts are
leaking out than the Navy De
partment cares to have made
public. The editor of the Times,
sitting in his luxurious office in
New York, affects to know more
of the Arctic region than Capt
Nelbaum, who has l'Ved there
for nearly twenty years. The
Daily Report, of San Francisco,
says:
Engineer Melville objects to
the criticisms of Captain Nei-
baum on De Longs manage
ment of the retreat of the jean
nette and says the Russian Off
Ger is talking about country he
was never in, and loud about
which he knows nothing.
Nevertheless, Captain Neibaum's
criticisms will have great inf1u-
ence among people who know
him well.

In Favor of a Convention.

General r. M. Clarke, who
was recently at Winnemucca on
professional business, expresses
himself in favor of COnstitu-
tional Convention. He says it
is admitted by all parties that the
Constitution of Nevada does not
meet the present requirements
of the State and therefore should
be amended. The Legislature,
in his opinion, should not be
intrusted with this important
duty. 1t was elected for diff
ferent purpose. He thinks the
cost of a Constitutional Conven-
ton need not exceed $4,000.
The services of the best men in
the State can be secured for
thirty days to frame a new Con-
stitution, if their actual and uec-
essary expenses are paid. These
expenses ought not to exceed
5000 for each member Of the
convention. The whole cost of
the convention could be saved
in one year by reducing State
expenditures. If there is no
money to be made by delegates
to the convention, there will be
no inducements for politicians
to control it, and the best men
in the State would feel honored
by being chosen members of a
body to frame the fundamental
law. The Sitter State adds:
AS General Clarke is not
politician, his views on this
question will have great weight
with the people; and as the
members ofthe Legislature elect
ed in November are actually
pledged to call convention to
remodel the Constitution, unless
their constituents are unani-
mously opposed to it, they will
fool i'm 1utv hound to abide by
their pledges. The only oppo-
sltion to such a convention is on
the score of economy, as the ne
cessity of revising the COnstitu-
ton is not questioned, and if the
cost will net exceed $50, 200, it
is, all things considered, the
most effective method of amend
ing the organic law to conform
to the present requirements of
Nevada.

A Nasty Mess.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 The ar
nouncement that J. E. Acklin Is PEE
pairing to contest the right OF Senator
kellogg to his seat in the next House
has excited a good deal OF gossip among
the Democrats. Several Of the most
influential Democrats told Kellogg to.
day that if they were in his place they
would not pay the least attention to
Acklin's movements. What he wants.
they said, is to get the s., 600 which the
House allows contestant for expenses.
He also hopes to get back into good
standing, SO that he may be In posi-
ton to demand favors if the Demo-
crate party is successful in 1884.
Said one prominent Democrat : "The
party when it gets control of the House
does not intend to waste time on Ack-
lin. If he can show himself with clean
hands and some foundation for the
charges which be makes against kellogg,
it is probable that he might then
be given hearing. His record, how
ever, is against hlm, aud he will be re-
earded with suspicion from the begin
uing." The impression among Demo
Gratis is that he is not sustained by the
leading men of his District. ke.loggs
friends saw that if he courts the kind OF
contest Acklin proposes to offer him,
he will cover Ackiin So deep in polltl-
cal dirt that he will not be able
to crawl to the surface In ten
wears. kellogg himself says that If
Acklin attacks h,m he will produce a
remark able cl.ca.sr letter which pre-
sents Acklin's record in light far from
creditable, and that be is informed
that indubitable proof can be produced
that Ackiin attempted to bride two Com.
missioners to stuff two ballot boxes, and
if these Commissioners were approached
the probabilities are that others were.
Kellogg says he will he as firm in his
seat in the next Congress as the Capitol
is on its foundation, and that Ackiin
won't bother him any more than a gnat
does Texas steer.

The Appeals" Interview Scored

NEW YORK, Dec. 2I.-The Times, re-
ferring to the interview OF the Russian
with Senator Jones regarding the equip
ment of the Jeanette expedition, shows
from the testimony already furnished
that De Long was provided with shot
guns, tishing.tackle and other articles
described in the interview as wanting.
The Times says the dogs were killed be-
cause there was no food for them. The
theory that Northern Siberia, where
polar bears are very rare. Is studded
with caches of bears meat is rank non-
sense. No appropriated man can read
the testimony of the survivors of the
Jeanette without q conviction that
De Long was not only man of heroism,
but most thorough and admirable Of
ficer. There is not civilized nation
where his name is not held in honor
except the United States. where few

ious to smirch his name.

The End Of q HaI Life.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-Yesterday, in
Des Moires Ida Slocum died in the
House for the Fallen. She had been a
street.walker and returning one night
to her clearinghouse, after she bad
quarreled with her room mate, broke
his skull with water pitcher, and In
drunken stupor slept with the corpse.
Awakening, she swallowed pint Of
whisky, threw the body into closet,
locked the door, flung away the key and
tramped the streets, drinking heavily
until late at night, aud was arrested,
and the next day was sent to prison.
A week later the smell of the corpse
caused search and discovery. The
girl was acquitted as evidently out of
her senses when the crime was commit
ted. She went to Denver, and perhaps
to San Francisco. and after a wild.
troubled life, brought up at Des MONIES,
where she died of deliriuu tr-mens.

WHAT THEY WANT.

It's publicly announced that the
New York Tennessee bondhaIders
will not accept less than 1908.
They should know by this time that
40 such proposition will meet with
the approval OF the people. They
certainly must expect such a com
bination of political factions in the
state that their ultimatlm will yet be
possible.
The question at present needs an
emphatic utterance on the part Of
the people. Some reasonable, def
mite proposition should be submitted
to the creditor for acceptance or re
lection. Interest should cease on all
bonds not funded under the tender
made. Other states adopted this
mod offs settlement and it worked
satisfactorily.
