Edmunds on the Democracy.

At the republican meeting at Burling-
ton, last week, Senator Edmunds presided,
and, on taking the chair, read the follow
ing address:
" Gentlemen Il thank you for the compi-
ment implied in selecting me to preside on this
interesting occasion. AS you have come here
to listen to distinguished gentlemen who have
not the felicity Of residing in Burlington, and
some OF them not even the comfort and safety
OF living in Vermont-the pole star Of sound
politics-it would be both ungracious and cruel
in me to occupy the time that has been de-
voted to our guests. l must say, however,
that very close study and observation of the
professions and practices Of tho democratic
party In congress and in the country that the
generous confidence of my fellow-citizens has
enabled me to make for a long period, has dem
onstrated, to my mind, that the safety and well
fare OF the people Of the United States con-
tinue to demand Its exclusion from power
Whatever doubts or difficulties may embarrAss
our countrymen, here or elsewhere in the
United States, it seems TO me that In the pres
emit attitude OF political affairs the defeat Of
the democratic party is a need fairly para
mount to any other. | recognize fully the
liberty OF belief, of opinion, and of action that
belong to citizenship; it is q fundamental part
OF our creed, and none Of US can fail to feel the
great responsibility that results from that
freedom. Under such responsibility and look
ing at every aspect OF the public veal, the
people Of the state of Vermont are to express
their opinions Of the principles, the methods
and the purposes Of the democratic party. It
has been wrong for more than a quarter Of
century, and, fear, will continue 80 for as
great length Of time to come. In the recent
periods, when 1t has had control of one or the
other OF the houses Of congress, 1t demonstrated
its untitness for government in respect to
nearly all the important measures 1t proposed
or resisted, and every succeeding wear seems
to decorate it with new folly"

Arctic Experiences.

Lieutenant Greedy is full of interesting
"reminiscences Of Arctic winters. OF the
parting with the Proteus, the vessel which
carried his expedition high up within the
Arctic circle, and of thrilling Arctic scenes
and experiences, he says:
"on the 2Sth Of August came the sad part
ing between the Greedy party and the men of
the Proteus. The little band gathered on the
frozen shore end tearfully watched the Pro-
teus as she steamed slowly down Lady Frank
lin Bay, leaving them to the mercies OF the
cruel North. On the evening OF the same day
the temperature sank below freezing point and
the icy Arctic winter was on them In earnest.
Their house was finished about week after the
Proteus left. 1t was named, In honor OF Senator
Conger, Fort Conger. During the first month
the cold affected the men more than at any
subst quent time at Fort Conger. Later on In
December the temperature sank from fifty de-
grets to sixty five degrees below zero. and 80
remained for days at time, but even in that
weather the cooks favorlte amusement was to
dance bareheaded, barearmed and with slip
shod feet on top OF the snow-drifts. During
the day we were dressed In the ordinary out
side clothing which Boston gentleman wears
during the winter, but our hannels were very
heavy. Five Of the men were generally for
part Of the day engaged In scientific work,
under Lieutenant Greelys directions, and in
the duties Of the camp the rest Of the men were
employed generally about one hour day, and
devoted the remainder of the time to amuse-
ment. All slept In abundance and the quarters
were heated by a large coal stove. the average
heat maintained being fifty degrees above zero.
Playing checkers, cards and chess and reading
were the chief amusements of the evenings.
Life was said by Lieutenant Greedy to be far
from lonely one, and many Of the men said
they had never passed two happier years than
those at Fort Conger On the 18th OF October the
sun left us for one hundred and forty-five days
and twilight, varying from one-half an hour to
twenty-four hours, succeeded. For two months
it was so dim that watch could not be read by
it, On April 18th the sun came above the
horizon and remained there for one hundred
and thirty. five days, giving the party great
sufficiency OF midnight sun. During three
months the stars we're invisible constantly, the
consultations Of Orion's belt and the Great
Bear being the brightest. The North Star
looked down from almost overhead. Standing
alone outside the fort on one of these nights,
the scene was weirdly grand. To the north
famed the Auroro Borealis and bright con-
stellations were set like jewels around the
glowing morn. Over everything was a dead
silence so horribly oppressive that man alone
is almost tempted to kill himself, so lonely
does he feel The moon would remain in sight
from eleven to twelve days at the time and she
was much appreciated"

ONE Of the brightest charms Of fair face is

additionally fragrant. 1t Is one Of the privi-

SO weakened by the lack of sufficient food for
the past two years that dreadful stuff ering and
priation for this year only permits the agents
to issue weekly two pounds of beef and three
pounds of flour, the latter Of bad quality-an

calls upon the secretary of the interior to as
sumo the responsibility of issuing full rations
until congress meets in December.

is anticipated the cold wave flag white flag,
