Lieut.. Garlington's Expedition.

Tho Proteus, accompanied by the Yantio as
escort, is now we'll on her way to the relief
OF the Lady Franklin Bay signal party, but
several weeks may elapse before tho result
OF her efforts Is made known. Last years
attempt to open communication with the
station resulted, as will he remembered, In
total failure. But while the Neptune at that
time only left st. Johns on July 8. the Pro-
teus will havo had ten days advantage In her
earlier start.
Tho very fact, however, that the present
quest may be baflled, like its predecessor. Is
an argument against establishing q signal
station on tho ground now occupied by
Lieut.. GREELY, even II the results obtained
by his party should justify the general policy
OF Arctic signal detachments Tho latitude
OF tho Franklin Bay station is much higher
than that of Lieut. RAYS party at Point Bar
row. on tho Alaska coast, and In addition,
while the latter Is on the open ocean,
tho former can only be reached through
Smith Sound and Kennedy Channel. These
passages are frequently filled with masses Of
ice. even during the few months when they
are nominally navlgable. The path through
them is dangerous and uncertain at best
Last years relief party tried In vain, from
July 20 to Sept. O. to get through. and then,
the new seasons Ice having already formed
four inches In thickness, 1t drew back, con-
tenting itself with depositing provisions and
two whaleboats at points previously agreed
upon with Lieut.. GRRELY
1t is evident, therefore, that, save for it,
tie earlier start, which may or may not prove
OF advantage, and the mere chance that the
ice may not DO equally hostile to advance
this summer, Lieut.. GARLINaToN's expedi-
tion has no ground for expecting better for
tune than the one OF last year. Meanwhile
Lieut.. GREELY's party has not been commu-
nicated with for nearly two years. No doubt
Its supplies have been sufficient, unless de-
strOyed by some unexpected misfortune; but
1t Is quite possible that, as the party Is few
In numbers, enough OF them may have fallen
sick to seriously impair the usefulness OF
the enterprise. Had last years expedition
reached Lieut.. GREEDY, 1t would have
brought away any sick or disabled men, and
left able-bodied substitutes.
Should the Proteus fall to got through the
ice, tho only course remaining for Lieut.
GREELY Is to retreat overland to the coast.
Fortunately he contemplated this possibility
before his departure In 1881, and left explicit
directions in regard to 1t. In accordance
with these arrangements, the Proteus, II
blocked by the Ice, will retreat down Smith
Sound, leaving provisions at places named
by Lieut. GREEDY, and then prepare winter
station at the old Polaris quarters, on Life
boat Cove. All tho material for erecting and
maintaining such a station including tim
Dor. extra supplies. boats, and instruments,
has been taken out In the Pr0tsus.
Even had last years relief party reached

Pcnnsylvania Politics.

Looking over into the neighboring State
OF Pennsylvania, we SOC many signs denotng
that the late instruction In the Republican
party had it's origin In motives less credit
able to the actors than an honest purpose
to serve the public.
Gov. PATTIsON's Administration has boon
lair to all sides; 1t has earnestly striven to
redeem tho pledges Of the campaign, and has
not failed at any point where tho power Of
the Executive was sufficient to accomplish
the object. Tho Independents said their
only purpose was to rid the State OF the
bosses and frecbootcrs, and to create an hon
est Government in the interest of the people
and nmcnable to public opinion. No one
pretends to say that Gov. PATrIsoN's Admin
istratlon Is not what 1t ought to be in this
respect. What, then, have the Independents
to regret? What excuse have they for re-
turning to the evil fellowship OF the bosses
JOHN STEWART was gallant and able
leader OF the bolt which liberated Pennsyl-
vania from the thraldom Of the Rings
What has he seen to cause him repentance,
and induce him to crawl back to the loath-
some embrace from which no broke with SO
much apparent horror? He admits that
PATTIsoN has dono well, that he is pure, that
his Administration Is above reproach, and
that if 1t fails in any important particular II
will be for lack OF majority In tho two
Houses OF tho Legislature. But Mr.. STEW
ART has published an interview declaring
that tho causes which separated tho Inde-
pendents have ceased. and that hcnceforth
tho party will DO united.
Ho has seon no amendment In the ways OF
the bosses. He has, on the contrary seen
Mr.. COOPER lead tho disciplined forces OF the
Ring In tho Legislature in the old style, and
to the old ends, resisting every reform and
sustaining every abuse. He can point to no
substantial concession either to the public
or to the Independents. 1t may, indeed. be
understood that the bosses will stand out OF
Wow at the coming State Convention, and
condcsccnd to hide the hands that pull the
wires while the puppets jump. But he Is
hardly to be deceived by such jugglery.
Whom temporary President of tho Senate
was to be elccted-an officer In whom real
power resides-the bravest and ablest OF
the Independents was unceremoniously
thrust aside and a gentleman personally
unobjectionable. but thoroughly identified
with the Stalwarts, was chosen. From all
which it appears that Mr.. STEWARDS idea OF
reconciliation Is very remarkable one. We
do not believe 1t extends to the flo OF his
party. Tho voters who made the triumph
OF reform possible last year will continue In
an attitude which will make it possible again.
And this Is as true of New York as 1t Is OF
Pennsylvania II tho Democrats give us
honest government in the States, they will
have an opportunity Of giving US honest
government In the nation.

The British National Debt.

About forty years ago the British Govern
ment converted q considerable portion OF Its
debt into what are called terminable annui-
ties. That is to say, 1t agreed to pay the
holders OF these annutles a certain income
annually during a fixed number Of years,
after which they were to receive nothing
more. The amount thus agreed upon was
about f5,0OO,0O0. or S25, 900 q year, and
tho term during which 1t was to DO paid will
expire In Ap,aL 1885. Consequently, the Gov
eminent wiAyae have E5,OOO,OOO at its dis
posal out Of tho present fixed appropriation
for the public debt, and it Is considering q
scheme for using 1t to liquidate portion Of
the outstanding principal.
Without going into details. the scheme con-
templates tho creation OF fresh series OF
annuities. and either exchanging them for
consols or solling them for money, and with
the proceeds paying of consols at par on
giving years notice, as provided by law.
1t Is calculated that In this way ut the end OF
twenty years consols will have been cancelled
to the amount Of $500. 900, 900. or about three
seventies Of the present outstanding debt Of
E7O0, OO0, 900. II the results should DO found
to answer these expectations, tho process will
undoubtedly be continued. and, as the rate
OF interest will fall as tho principal dimin.
ishes, owing to the competition among in
vestors it Is not impossible that by the year
1925 the debt OF Great Britain. which has so
long been pointed out as colossal burden up
on the nation, may have boon extingulshed.

The Ohio politicians who come to New
York nowadays are full Of the spirit OF proph-
ecy. They evidently feel a little discouraged.
and arc whistling to keep UP their courage. SO
they seek interviews with reporters for Rcpub-
lican newspapers In New York. and predict
plump majority for young Mr.. FORAKER. These
interviews arc eagerly snatched at by the Ohio
Republican journals. and may serve to soothe
the alarm OF the faithful in the Western Re-
sorve. Gen. CHARLES II. GRosvENoR has boon
