Norwegian walrus-hunterS of to-day
who ii great risk have done so much
Tor Il knowledge of the inhospitabIe
regions around Spitzhergen and
Novaya Zemiya. Baron Norden-
ski lid might well have contented
himself, accomplished and busy work
er in science as he is, with giving to
the public a narrative Of his own I'M
portant and happy I'M 'ertaking, lcav-
ing il to Others to fit il in!o its proper
lace in the history of Arctic expIo~
ration. But he has courageously
faced the formidable task himself;
he has undertaken researches in the
archives Of various nations, and espe-
cially in those of Russia. His own
successful vOyage was the final con
summation Of a long series of efforts
began IL thousand years ago, and he
has generously thought it his duty,
both to the public and to his prede-
ceSsors, to tell with great fulness the
romantic story of all previous enter
prise.
The first voyage was perhaps, n
of the most fortunate of the series.
Ii was told a thousand years ago by
Oshere, who "lweIt northm0st of all
the Nnrlhman," to CHS lord, King
4 frel." Otherc's voyage, certainly

Passage in it; the time was not yet
ripe for such n conception. 1t was
simply in>ti.ated bl that noble curl
os ty which IS the mother of Ill know
lie I.e: OIhrre wanted to peer round
the coruer of Europe and l4hd out
what wa beyond, and thus he lifted
the first corner Of the veil of mystery
VIII ne Iong-siuce ragged fringe has
b Ell finally and forever raised by
the voyage of the Vega. Baron
NordenSkj0ld tells the story of the
pioneer along thn Northeast Passage
with sympathetic tqlness, and throws
muc1 light on what Othere really
accomplished +; there a be no donbt
that he penetrated as lar as the White
Sea, und this was a wonderful teat
for the time. The conditions along
these coasts were then in many res
perts similar to what are found at
the PRESENT day, though the Lapse
had evidently not long been settled
on the shores of the Northern Ocean.
And it should be remembered that
"Iiscoycry" is only Il comparative
term; when we speak Of the discovery
OF new lands we mean lands that
have become known to Europeans
Tor the first time. Tee Lnpps and
Firms, the S~amoyedrs and Chukchis
reached The shores of the Polar Ocean
Io4s even before Othere's rude keel
plouyhed its waters.
Olhere'S voyage must be regarded
as an isolated incident which does not
seem to have borne any practical re-
Sut>; but it is olly just that Baron
NorItnskbll shonId vim licate his
claim to ba considered us the pioneer

tenth town in the State which has made such
a concession. If the reports of some of the
testimony given before the selectmen of
Sherborn are correct the people of Massachu-
sets are likely to get wrong impression
concerning the power of the company in Con-
necticut, through which State it proposes to
run its line. One report says that Director
Blood stated that they had made surveys
throughout the length of Connecticut and
received certificate from the Secretary of
State granting full and absolute power In
that State to build the road. Another says:
eve have conformed to all the requirements
of the statutes and received our certificate
from the Secretary of State and we are full,
absolute corporation in that State for the
purpose of building a railroad" This is a
little better than the other, but neither state
ment is quite right. The company has no

MIR. CONKLING.

At this writing what Mr.. Conkling will do
about the judgeship offered him by the
President is not known. There is, however,
good reason to believe that he was con-
suited before the nomination was sent in, and
it does not seem probable that it would have
been sent in had he refused to accept the
| place.
While the nomination could not, under all
the circumstances, be called very appropri-
ate ore, it hardly deserves the reception it
has met in some quarters. The chief ques-
ton to be considered is whether Mr.. Conk-
ling has the legal and other qualifications de-
sirable in a judge of the Supreme Court. 1t
is certain that he has some qualities which
judge ought to have. His personal integrity
is inquest oned. He is independent and
fearless and has a strong and clear mind.
His legal attainments are not what they
might have been had he not been politician,
but they are at least respectable, and his
practice has been in important cases. He
has been "a corporation attorney" but SO
have some men who are now on the bench.
Against him may be urged the intolerance,
temper and prejudice which have made him
so unpopular in his political career. If he
should conduct himself with as little discre-
ton on the bench as he has shown in poll
tics he would soon be in trouble. Perhaps,
however, he has lately learned something.
There is another thing to be considered,
which is forcibly put by the Boston Adcer-
tiser as follows ''Should he accept this ap-
pointment, would he do so with the inten-
ton of remaining on the bench and abandon
ing politics, or would he become Judge
with the reservation that on the first favora-
BILE opportunity he would resign and rec enter
politics? There is no objection to his re-
turning to public life as soon as he can per-
suade the people to allow him to do so.
There is very decided objection to judges
who are only waiting their chance to become
something else. We have enough such al
ready. The appointment of Judge Gray was
to be commended because no suspicion that
he was in danger of being affected with the
presidential fever could ever attach to him.
Mr.. Conkling must be liable to the suspicion,
even though in his own mind he may have
abandoned forever all his old political hopes. =
But whatever has been or may be said con-
corning Mr.. Conkling's fitness to be judge
or the fitness of his nomination, there does
not seem to be much doubt that his nomina-
ton will be confirmed unless he declines.
Considering his performances in the past,
there would be nothing very surprising in his
doing So

The facts when put together make a rather
remarkable showing. On paper there is no

with precautions and safeguards against

the first place, no receiver can be appointed
until after a thorough inquiry into his char

course of this inquiry all interested parties
have an opportunity to raise and urge any

1t may be doubted whether the killing IS
pleasure to anything but the cheetah- There
is the minimum of excitement in the short

sometimes for the attendant to take his not
| very intellectual head by the chops and d.
| rect it towards the browsing deer. Then he
seems to wake up and lets himself down
| very gingerly from the car so as not to over
exert himself and feels his way forward for
twenty or thirty yards Then he trots and
then advances, as MIR. Gladstone would
say by leaps and bounds. He fixes his now
eager eyes on an unfortunate antelope. which
makes frantic efforts to escape by bounding
into the air. When the cheetah comes up
with his terrified victim he does not, as Is
generally supposed, strike him to the earth
with side blow of his paw; that mzneuver
would involve useless expenditure of ener-
gy. He simply continues his bounds, only
taking care to place his forepsws upon the
antelope's back or side instead of upon the
ground. The weight brings the antelope
