the Arctic stations. The minimum was -52
degrees (Celsus) on February 9. During March
the average temperature was 40 degrees,
but during January and February the range
was somewhat higher. The observers suffered
greatly from the cold and had great difficulty
in heating the house provided for their use !
but their health was not seriously impaired
The scientific work was accomplished, notwith-
standing their close approach to the pole OF
Siberian cold. As these advices were sent
during April, when the temperature was
rapidly rising, it is safe to assume that the
lab0rs of the observers were successfully
completed during the summer and that they
themselves will arrive at ST. Peters burg before
the close of the year.
The Lady Franklin Bay Station is probably
the only one of the twelve from which a sat
isfactory report will not be received this au-
tumn. The Swedish, Austrian and Dutch
parties have already returned, and there are
no grounds for apprehension respecting the
German colony at Cumberland Sound or the
| English Canadian observers at Fort Rae. The
remaining stations are on the mainland IN
| Greenland, Norway and Sweden. 1t is prob
| able. therefore, that before the close of the
year DR.. Wild, the president of the Interna-
tional Polar Commission, will have received
summaries of the observations made simulta-
| neOusly at as many as eleven stations. Before
these summaries are tabulated and published
| second conference of the International Com
| mission will be held, and an agreement Will
be reached respecting the best mode of re-
| ducing the results of this remarkable scientific
| campaign to permanent form. The records OF
the Lady Franklin Bay colony will be the
most important contribution to this budget OF
information respecting the physical conditions
of the Arctic world. No effort should be
| spared to secure the recovery OF these records,
even if the Government were not under the
strongest obligations to rescue the members
of the party, who for two years have occu-
pied so arduous and hazardous a post, doing
their utmost thereby to sustain the American
reputation for intrepdity, grit and scientific
ardor.

Reduction OF Inrst

It must be RENE nbered that each of these
periods except the last covers four fiscal years /;
the last covers only two fiscal years, and yet
It's results compare well with those of any fOur
wears preceding. When the war closed the
interest charge was "a 20 yearly for each per-
son, and in four years under Secretary Nc
Cnlloch it was reduced to So 30. Then four
wears under Mr. Boutwell, reduced it to 81 80,
and in spite of the prostration of business,
four years more, mainly under Mr.. BristOw, re-
duced it to So OF per capita. About the close
of President Grants second term business be-
gan to recover, and more than half of the
entire burden of The debt has been removed in
the six years which have followed; four under
Secretary Sherman cut it down from 50 Oh to
81 46 per capita, and two under Secretaries
Window and FOlger have cut it down from
81 as to % cents per capita. The reduction
reached % cents per capita in one year under
Secretary Sherman, AMI 81 cents per capita in
one year mainly under Secretary Window. The
latter reduction, caused by the enormous fund
inc operations of Mr.. Window, has never be zen
exceeded in any one year, though Mr. McCul-
loch came very close to it in the fiscal year

PFPUBLIC4N DEBT-kEDUC1ION

For some years past the Treasury Depart
ment has issued each year a comparative state
ment of the state of the public debt at the close
of the fiscal year. This statement, though it pre-
SCENTS facts which are in some measure familiar
to those who have closely watched public affairs
for the past quarter of a century, is becoming
extremely interesting. The rise of the debt
less cash in the Treasury, or the net debt,
from less than $1O,O0O0O0 in 1857 to
SS7. 700 600 in 1861, marks the course of
Mr.. Buchanan's administration, and the in
crease from that point to So, 756, 431, 81 43
in 1865 measures only part of the nous
cost of the Rebellion, which that Administra-
ton brought about. The reduction since that
time has been $1,217, 649, TAG %; the reduc-
ton in yearly iuterest-charge has been from
S15O,977,6 97 81 to SOL, 436,7O9 so, and the
reduction in yearly interest for each inhabitant
has been from 81 20 to 80 cents. More than
three-fourths of the burden Of the debt to the
people has thus been removed during
eighteen years, under wise Republican
legislation and honest R'publcan admins
tration. When it is considered that the
taxation has az no time heeD such az 70 be
seriously felt by the people ; that the growth
of the county in wealth, population and
prosperity during that period has been nnpre-
ce3ented. and that is industrial development,
especially, has been almost incredibly rapid, it
must be admitted that no other party, in this
or any other country, has ever been able to
present so impressive and creditable record.
The record covers the work of five Admins
tratons. The first, though leaning toward
Democracy at its close, was elected as Repub-
lican, was composed throughout of Republican
officials, and was controlled by Republican
Congress. The others, one of marked pros
perity under General Grant and one of adj
versity and panic, one of recovery under Pres
ident Hayes and the half of another under
Presidents Garfield and Arthur, have been
Republican. The reduction of debt during
these Administrations, the reduction in yearly
interest-charge, and the reduction IN yearly
interest charge per capita, are shown as fol-
lows:

INSULTING THE ADMINISTRATION

Mr.. Hatton, the FIRST Assistant Postmaster
General, is a person of dual capacities-well,
not exactly that, either. But he does two
things at once-manages his part of the Post
Office Department and runs newspaper at the
same time. This being a free country, it may
be that he had the right to intimate in his
paper some months ago, without endangering
his official position, that the Civil Service Com
missioners, when appointed, would sell appoint
ments in the Government service
But when Mr. HattOn, in his personal, and
not his editorial capacity-speaking not in his
newspaper but as First Assistant Postmaster
General says of the Civil Service Reform law
that "the whole business is fraud" ard
merely "means for making political capital
to "men who are always in favor of any ism
which is likely to command votes enough to
give them an Office" he offers an insult to
the Administration, the Republican majority
in Congress, and the party at large. The bill
was recommended, passed and approved by
these in turn. Mr.. Hatton's performances are
of little consequence, and 1t Is natural he
should show signs of bad temper since Judge
Gresham became POstmaster-G eneral and set
him down hard in his proper place. But the
position into which he has been strangely
boosted is of importance enough to make it a
question whether he ought not to be required
to show decent outward respect for the
measures of Republican Administration, or
TO give up his place, which is i'll one sense
identified with the ministration, to Re-
publican in good standing.

Simon Mack g. Co., clothers, who made an
assignment yesterday, have liabilities amount

Chamber of Commerce will see in this failure
additional reasons why they should have q
committee to work for change in the law
allowing a business man to prefer his credi-
tors. The committee, however, has large
task on its hands. The relations of debtor and
creditor are among the most delicate touched
by our laws, and there is considerable to be
said both for and against the system of pref
erences. What we need is a new bankruptcy
law placing all the affairs of the bankrupt
under the supervision of the courts. Fraudulent
conveyances and unjust preferences then could
be subjected to the severest scrutiny and the
judges could see to it that no injustice was
done on either side,
The Railroad Commissioners have mingled
a good deal of sweet with the bitter In their
decision as to the responsibility of the Long
Island Railway Company for the fatal coils
ion at Hunters Point on September IL. The
main points of it are that the engineer and
the conductor were not careful enough In
running the Manhattan Beach train after they
found that the air brakes were out OF order,
and that the company is censurable Tor the
defective method of brake-coupling in use,
and also for putting too much work upon the
brakemen and conductors. In view OF this
last clause of the censure it is hard to under
stand why the Commissioners, earlier III their
report, felt called upon TO explain that the
company labOred under great embarrassment
during the summer because it could not get
efficient men to manage its trains. Conduct
ors and brakemen are not skilled laborers,
and certainly the company could have found
enough of them if it had tried. NotWlth-
standing this and few other kind pats upon
the back, the officers of the company ought
not 10 find the report pleasant reading.

pilots IN TILE My

The question of the employment of pilots by
men-of war has been revived by recent incidents
Commodore Walker. in denying false report about
the Tennessee, states that the Government saved
about $37, 900 last year IN consequence Oi the new
order of the Department forbidding ships of the
Navy to take private pilot except in cases of real
necessity But the saving Of money is one of the
least recomme ndatIons Of Secretary Chambers
policy. There are harbOrs in which, through The
constant shifting of the channel or other peculiar
causes. local pilot is indispensable; but in most
Of the ports Of our own coast. and many foreign
ones, a competent commander needs no other guld-
ance than the published charts and sailing direc-
lions. How to use these authorities ought to be an
essential parr of every officers education.
The Importance of teaching naval officers to be
their own pilots is we'll illustrated in volume of
Recollections - just published by Captain William
H. Parker an officer of long and varod experience,
who resigned from the United States Navy in 1861
to take service under the ConfederacY. When the
MerrImac made the famous raid into Hampton
Roads, the fortunes of the fight on both sides were
controlled by the pilots. The Minnesota. Roa-
noke and st. Lawrence we're run aground by their
pilots and left helpless. The Merrimac could not
take full advantage of their predicament because
her pilot falsely insisted that he could not get the
ram within mile of the disabled Minnesota. And
finally the Merrimac was blown mp because her
pilots pretended that they could not take her to
Richmond In al our naval battles" says Cap
tam Parker, " the commanding officers were in a
measure in the hands of the pilots. l suppose
there was not a commander on either side who did
not lind himself crippled by his pilots at some time
in his experience" The civilian employee, dread
ing risks which were in the naval officers ordinary
line of duty, was naturally inclined to think that
there was too little water in tho channsl when the
real difficulty was too many batteries on shore.
Commanders we're often hampered ut critical mo-
nents because they could not fight unless the
pilot consented. Captain Parker thought that
pilots ought to become Commissioned officers. Tho
idea OF Secretary Chandler seers to be that com
mlssioned officers ought to become pilots.
