Greedy announces that he reached further
north than Markham, the English explorer.
Admitting this, it is hardly sufficient
triumph for the sutferings he endured and
the seventeen lives which were wasted in the
effort When to his loss is added that
OF the Bennett expedition, and that Of
Sir John Franklin, without at all counting
the innumerable victims connected with
nearly thousand years. attempt to navigate
and explore this northern sea, and the sum
total is compared with all the physical advan-
tages which have resulted from the attempts,
1t will be found that the former outweigh the
latter as the globe does the down on the
feather.
The clamor against continuation of these
explorations is right as to present methods,
but wrong as to the end sought to be OBJ
tanned. Experience has shown that some
other way has to be resorted to. Eight de-
grees have yet to be traversed before the
problem can be solved. Centuries have
proved that the use of ships cannot be relied
on to complete the exploration.

VAR RECORDS COYTR1sTED.

1t is charged that both Blaine and Cleve-
land put in substitutes in war that oc-
CURED some time during the last generation.
1t is cited as rendering Blaine the more cul-
pable, that his substitute never went to the
front, and that the municipality of Augusta
finally refunded to him the 5000 which he
paid. for the man to take his place. Cleve-
lands man, 1t is said, went to the front and
was shot at, and shot at others in the due,
regulation style. This is most delicate
difference between these two candidates, and
it viii be hard to forsee what will be the effect
on the number of votes. Generally it would
seem as If Blaine is entitled to the more
credit in the matter. He showed himself
humanitarian in the fact that he
kept his substitute away from the. front
where he was liable to get hurt. Moreover,
in the taking back Of the 5000 he showed the
possession of thrift which promises well for
his administration of the affairs of the nation.
In addition to these points, Blaine's action
was greatly in accord with the Republican
sentiment of the period, which was that it
was the duty of patriots to stay at home and
rison the offices so that they could not be
seized by copperheads. Grant, Logan, Meade,
Rosecrans, Hancock, Steel Mcclellan,
Mcdowell, and in fine, all the great
generals, and leaders of the war
were or, are yet Democrats. 1t
was the policy of the. Republicans
to discourage the shedding of Republican
blood. Maine filed its quota with southern
darkies, aud other strong Republican COM
munities did the same. Hence, it appears
that Blaine's course was in accord with Re-
publican precedents and sentiments.
1t is bad for Cleveland, but it is too late
now to remedy his error. He must suffer
the consequences. But, while it may be too
late in his case, the lesson of his failure viii
not be lost on the growing generations.

A DANGEROUS NAN.

1t ought to be said every day, and every
hour in the day that Blaine is dangerous
man, that he is not statesman, but simply
vicious, tricky politician and demagogue
whose whole public career records his utter
lack of official integrity.
In his movement to catch the nomina-
ton for the Presidency, the plan he pro-
posed year ago in regard to the surplus in
the treasury well illustrates his dangerous
tendency. His proposal that the United
States government should continue levies to
produce more money than it needs and dis
tribute the surplus among the states ought
to condemn him as a. man devoid of COM
mon sense, so reckless that he defes the
constitution, and offers the country the pros
pect of policy wholly mischievous and ut
terly destructive of stability and integrity.
Another point which reveals the dema-
gogue in his plan to have the United States
assume the debt of the state of Virginia. In
his race to catch votes he incorporates this
scheme in his ''book'' With it as basis he
bargains with that satanic marplot, Malone,
and consorts with all the outrageous vileness
of his following.
Can the people make such a man Presi-
dent Dare they do it. Do they want to
jeopardize everything by installing man
whose only motive is to do and say any
specious thing to catch votes.
These things are a part of the stained
record of the Republican candidate. Who
dare trust him2

are the building operations that a very large
lumber yard has been established there The
railroad people have staked out and commenced
grading the track leading through the

MISS CATHOLICS PEMsIoN.

Among the subjects which will be con sid
cred by the Grand Army of the Republic at
its session next week will be the claim of
Miss Anna Ella Carroll, whose services TO the
Union cause during the war were of great
value, and whose plan of the Tennessee cam
paign was of an importance not easily com
puted. 80
The claim of this lady has been long before
congress but no practical action has been
reached. The military committees of the
Forty-frst, Forty-second and Forty-fourth
congresses examined the claim and reported
that it was incontestably established. The
committee on Military Affairs Of the Forty
sixth congress, not only concurred in the
conclusions of its predecessors, but in their
official report say that the committe believe
that the thanks Of the nation are due Miss
Carroll, and that they were fully justified in
recommending that she be placed on the
pension rolls Of the government, as a par
tial measure of recognition for her public
service. Accompanying the report was a
bill granting Miss Carroll pension, and its
passage was recommended.
A strange part of the matter is the fact
that because the author of the Tennessee
plan was woman it was decided to conceal
her authorship, and while her plan was sought
and its suggestions adopted she was reques-
ted to submit it unsigned. Hence the neces-
sity for proof of authorship and great formal
lty in considering the claim. President Lin
coin was cogpizant of the service rendered
by Miss Carroll, and so were many other il
lustrious men of the war, including General
Garfield, but these men are all gone. 1t is
not only proper, but just that the Grand
Army of the Republic should become the adj
vocate for Miss Carroll. Twenty years have
passed and she has waited. Tens of thou
sands of others have been rewarded and pen
stoned and she has waited-not altogether
unnoticed, but because she was woman ii
has been easy to put off doing an act of palp-
able, justice. Four times her claim has been
proven up, justified and urged. The treat
ment Of this case has not been generous, has
not been just But the wrong should be nc
longer permitted, and the author of the Ten
nessee plan, that gave victory into the hands
of the Union forces, woman though she be,
should not be allowed to 60 down to her grave
feeling the sting of ingratitude, her services
| unreuuited.

MR.. BLAINE HERD FROM.

Mr.. Blaine's letter of acceptance, which is
launched upon an anxious world this morn
ing, chief merit Hes In the fact that 1t is a
rival in length of both of the national con
vention platforms combined. This is
good deal, forthose docu-
ments cover all the world and
Utah besides, and do it in very verbose
manner. Hence presidential candidate
who can outwind the platform makers,
shows physical vigor which makes one
wonder how theheat of the sun could have
melted him down at the door of sanctuary.
The burden of Mr.. Blaine's song is at
once confession of his fears and weakness.
he appears to have been deeply impressed by
the Tammany raid upon Gov. Cleveland and
deyotes nearly three of his four columns of
space to demonstrating that the Republican
party is the friend of protection" and Of
the laboring man, and that he, personally,
showers all Of his ssheart of hearts" upon the
welfare of the laboring classes. He dwells so
eiaborately upon this point that he overdoes
the matter and the stamp of the demagogue
appears between the lines, in his delusive
effort to pierce what he supposcs to be the
weak point in his antagonists anatomy.
So far as Mr.. Blaine can do so, he has
drawn the lines between the parties on the
tariff question much more sharply than is
done by the respective platforms, and it is
at least to his credit that he takes bold and
decided stand, even though that stand is in
favor of increased tariff robbery and adj
ditional burdens of taxation.
While Mr.. Blaine's henchmen have been
catering for the Irish vote, on the pretext
that he will avenge their grievances by blow
ing England out of the water at the cannon's
mouth, Mr.. Blaine appears to have discov-
cred that bellgerent policy is not what is
desired by the business interests Of the coun-
ry, and he processes to be so lamb-like and
DESTROYS for peace that instead of making
war to capture guano islands, or for other
speculations he would be more meek and
tumble than Uriah Heep, accepting as his
regular diet the fertilizing article he was
once so belligerent to obtain.
As Utah cannot vote, his condemnation of
poygamy is both timely and safe, being at
once display of good morals and good dis
erection in the selection of matter for disap-
probation.
The ne plus ultra of cheek and assurance is
found in the concluding paragraph, wherein
he protests against the purchase of votes.
Shades of Dorsey defend us! Jim Blaine,
the lingo candidate, pleading for pure, I'M
purchased ballot! This is a climax
which will cause the reader to
lay down the letter with sar-
donic smile and reflect upon the degree of
sincerity in the remainder of the document,
when the representative of party which
goes into the market to buy its victories
openly and shamelessly at the ballot box,
can gravelY indulge in such a sentiment.

In appears that there be cranks and
cranks The Chicago Neacs thus develops
another one on the Friday question:
John Swinton, the newspaper crank of New
York, shakes his cap and bells in the face of the
public ard reminds the people that both Blaine
and Cleveland were nominated on Friday, but
that Buffers nomination was made on Thursday.
If the workingmen believed all they read in
Johns paper they would be great fools, but,
thank goodness, they not fools enough to at
tach any significance to the day of the week on
which the candidates were chosen.
1t is really very unfortunate for the Dem
ocracy that they could not have named their
ticket on some other day, just to see if they
could not carry out the Friday superstition
by the defeat of Blaine. Now, if either
Cleveland or Blaine is elected, it will DEM
onstrate that the Friday nonsense don't
count and possibly the judges will go to
hanging people on some other day Of the
week. The only hope for the prestige of ill
luck which Friday has secured is for Ben.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-1n the Grant & Ward

April, 1888, he loaned the firm Of Grant & Ward
100000 in United States government bonds. In
October he loaned them S1.2000OO. He also
loaned them $4,000 in West Virginia Central
& Pittsburg railroad bonds. The governments
were worth from twenty-three to twenty five per
cent premium. no market value for the other
bonds but they sold at par and interest up to six
per cent. at the time OF the loan. The bonds
were in the box OF q. S, Grant, Jr. He had left
them there for safe keeping, Z. S. Grant, Jr,
had asked him to loan them to the firm, as they
had not as much money az they required Mr.
Ward, he thought, had afterward told him the
money that was obtained the bonds was
loaned to men who had large railroad contracts
and would pay handsome profit. He was to re-
ceiye half the profits made by the firm from the
use Of his money. Altogether he had drawn
about $4,000 as his share Of the profits Chat
fee said he had no written evidence Of the trans
action as far as the loans were concerned.

TIE TERIEsr TW4DDIE.

Various utteranees by leading Republicans
prove that the policy of the Blaine campaign
is to consist in the exploitation of what is
termed an American policy. At the ratifca-
ton meeting held in New York on Monday
night, the bright promise of an American
policy was limited at, and seemed to be re-
ceiyed by the crowd with considerable en-
thusiasm. Gen. Hawley, one of the orators
of the occasion, announced that it is time
that we have Navy, for, he said, ''one
thing is worse than war, and that is cowardiy
peace.n This is probably true, but wherein

A PORCINE CYCLONE.
Cornering Armour's Corner and Send
ing Goals to Newcastle
With q Vanpnanca

Phil. Armour, the famous pork man OF Chi
cago, has been amusing ''the boys with
squeeze in pork, and has put the price Of July up
on the shorts to S23 so per barrel while it is sell
ing regular at S15. Of course, the success of
corner depends upon preventing the man who
has sold what he hasn't got from obtaining
the articles 70 deliver to his pur-
chaser. OF course, also, when ''the boys"
have been selling short Armour has been
the buyer, and as they could not obtain the pork
they must either lie down on their deals or walk
up with Ss.5 per barrel for their short sales,
and hand it over as the difference. Latterly Ar
mour has been discovering good deal of ''Ar-
mour pork drifting in on him from st. Paul and
other points. AS he did not desire to have all the
pork in the country on hand when the month and
the corner ends, Armour has been
selling, discreetly, as he supposed, to country
customers, they agreeing to use it in
their trade and send it into consumption All
this, il carried out, would help the corner for it
would take just so much out of the market en-
tirely.
Fowler Bros, Of Chicago, are the most fol-
midable competitors Armour has, and they have
sent their agents to st. Paul to buy up all of the
Armour pork to be found in the hands
of merchants here and are shipping it back
to deliver to Armour. The sight of his
product returning to him has made Armour be-
gin s'to look leede OUT and he wore very
solemn air yesterday when Fowler Bros. let him
have Ave cars of his own pork from St. Paul.
They do say that the telegraph wire got hot be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul as Armour fired his
messages up to our merchants, and it was with
difficulty the wire was kept from melting.
Some CT the adjectives were SO
large aud emphatic that they struck against
the poles and got knocked off the wires. In
fact gentleman travelling on horseback along
the telegraph line thought he had struck a sort
of dictionary cyclone as he noticed dash lines
with cabalistic letters at either end dropping off
the wires as they hit the nsulators on the poles.
If the poles had not been pretty solid they would
have succumbed to the racket. As Armour will
still have ''the boys'' ''short'' fifty or sixty
thousand barrels, after St. Paul has sold him
back her stock in hand, he can clean mp half
million on the deal and pack it away for rainy

to let the other party take the matter in
hand
This clamor about a Navy and an Ameri-
can policy is the verest of twaddle when
coming from the lips of a Republican. A
Republican is sectional creature. He has
no aspirations beyond the northern states.
lie exists only for a portion of the country.
a man whose ideas do not extend beyond
the visible horizon cannot be comprehen-
sive citizen. A party which is confined to a
limited section of a country cannot be pos
sessed Of the qualities necessary to entertain
foreign policy. A Republicans mission is
to hate the one-half the people of the country
he lives in, to limit his country to few
northern states, and measure his patriotism
by his devotion to sectional success Such a
thing as an American policy, as understood
by Republican is an absurdity.
The leader who attempts to entertain aud
shape logical and valuable foreign policy
must be a citizen of the United States and
not merely citizen of the northern half of
it. If this country shall ever have such a
policy it will be when it is formulated and
made effective by Democrat. To admins
ter the affairs of a nation, not only with ref
erence to the nation itself, but with respect
to other people, requires man who is him
self national in his views, in his breadth OF
thought, in his comprehensive knowledge of
men and things. Hence, the absurdity OF
prating of an American policy by the parti-
sans of Blaine. As well might the ward
striker of some city, who has devoted all his
political life to the few blocks in which he
has operated, begin to announce his view of
national policy. If the country wishes a
foreign policy, it will elect Democrat, a
man who has prepared himself for just es-
