THERE IS to be another Arctic expedi- tion. When Greedy returned and the horrible tales were told of freezing, starvation, death and cannibalism, it was the universal verdict of the country that there should be no more Arctic e1- petitions. The Greedy party got FOUR miles further into the ice bound region than other expeditions, at cost of sev- enteen lives. So much for so little that no wonder there was 8 general acclaim against any more expeditions to that ice desert land. But no, the fascination Of that country and the stesdfast belief of a northern passage through that icy country is still as great as ever with some people. At a banquet given in honor of Lieutenant Greedy by the New York Yacht Club, Melville, the engi- neer of the Jeannette expedition in 1879, made a stirring speech and volun- teered to command still another expedI- tion, ID winch he set forth the feasibil- ity of settling at once and for all time the question of an open polar sen. Cyrus w. Field followed Melville, and offered 10 subscribe half the amount of the cost of the expedition If the club would
 make up the other half. The whole amount was subscribed at once. So we are to have. perhaps. another Arctic
 horror. In the face of what has gone
 before, men who volunteer cannot ex- pect much sympathy. for the people are
 not in sympathy with such expeditions.

THE Prohibition candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President have been formally notified of their nomination. The place of notification was at a camp meeting, and there was a religious ban quet over the event. St. John and Mir. Daniels were much honored, they said, especially as the honor came unsought. They propose to make the race. St
 John hopes, We presume, to defeat the Republican party in Kansas, giving the electoral vote of that Republican State to the Democracy; but he is counting his chickens before they are matched. St. John may think he is a great man, but there will be enough people in Kan sas to say that he is political ass, and will give him a defeat he richly deserves.

THE Star has given notice of the kind of campaign it proposes to make q mud singing campaign, personal, diRtribe, nasty; in fact proposes an abusive campaign against the Repub- lican candidates. Of course it is a game that two can play at, and our advice to the Star is not to open such a campaign. He and his will certainly get the worst of 1t. His threat of tearing Sheriff Paul to pieces has no weight; Sheriff Paul is too well known, officially and personally, for that paper to iniure, but as there Is to be plenty Of opportunity in the future to say more according to the Stars threat, We await developments. When the ball is opened somebody else will be at the dance be- sides the dancing editor of the Star.

 KNOWING the strength of +. H. Paul with the people the Democrats and the Star have combined to defeat hlm at the primaries, if they can. We claim that such fight on their part Is disreput- able. Me-srs. Paul and Clifford are members of the Republican party and it is question for that party to decide. Democrats have nothing to do in the matter and those who enter into such a contest have Gxes to grind of their own and defeat Paul who hates crime and criminals. and who sustaIns the strong arm of the jaw and preserves the peace. One of tle best things for Paul Is the opposition of the Star. It proves two things: First. that Paul's strength with the people Is feared. Second, that he is death upon the criminal class. For these reasons the Star is opposed to Sheriff Paul, but notwithstanding this feeble opposition from an extremely weak source, Paul if he gets the nomi- nation will be our next sheriff, and don't you forget 1t.

Flagstaff.

The Flagstaff, Arizona, correspondent of the Silver City Enterprise says:
 This town Is the center of the lumber ing business of northern Arizona, and the facilities for handling timber can 5e seen ln the Aver lumber company's bu-.- ness. They employ nearly 400 men ia the mill and at logging, the mill cutting on an average 100000 feet per day. Ths limit seems to be almost ine1haustlbs the San Francisco mountains and their foothills, which are heavily timberet with the best of pine.
 The chief want IS water, dravbacs to the development of the country. Ws have one spring here. and although snow-capped mountain peaks are only twelve miles away, yet the want of wste' IS a serious drawback to the settlement of this country. Yet ranches are being settled owing to the heavy rains Oi the past year and belief that the climate IS changing for the better.
 Yesterday three carloads of blocjei stock were shipped here, and if the raln. remain permanent, with the lumber ali ranching industries, bright future open tO this region.

TIE Judge" has a cartoon represent ing Cleveland seated m a luxuriant easy chair, surrounded with elegance, and comforts of life, with one foot elevated upon a marble center table, glass of champagne in one hand and lighted cigar between two fingers of the other hand, luxurating; enjoying himself in hls way to the fullest extent In the lower right hand corn,r is the laborer represented at his l6 hours work with out cessation; on the left hand corner is a Potter's field where the poor who are worked to death are buried. The up- per left hand corner represents child labor, little, half starved children on their way home from the factory. In the right hand corner, a man and a woman are trudging through the mud and rain, while the 10 cent fare street car, gayly passess them by. The contrast between luxGnant Cleveland and these four phases of poverty, intensified by Cleve- lands vetoes, speak hundred fold louder even than cold type.

TIE third term seems to worry the Star, so far as Sheriff Paul is concerned, but in the case of Shibell for the third term and Carpenter for the third and fourth, the conscience of the editor of the Star was not disturbed. He supported both gentlemen heartily on each occasion. It makes all the difference in the world whose OK is being gored with some peo- pie. Don't say anything about the third term business, it will do you more harm than good. Stick to the other propOsi- ton and sail in on the abusive tack and tets see what progress you make.

Bob IngersOll.

Anybody who has ever had a boar l. lng-house experience knows tue type of skeptical young man who revels in the sensation of shocking the ladies at table with his audaciOus jokes at things which the majority treat with respect, if not rev erence. Another familiar figure IS the skeptlcal wit of the village grocery. who likes to tackle the deacon, or even the minister, as he comes in for his mail, before the crowd of sitters on the sugar barrels, and corner hIm with black guarding argument on some scriptural or doctrlnal mystery. It must be ad
 mitted that the chuckles of the majOrity of the bystanders are always oD the side ot the smart blackguard in such an en- counter. Weak human nature sneak lngly enjoys mischief ard wanton sport
 Not many want to be in the business themselves, but the many laugh as the thing goes on. Colonel Bob h. gersoll, m his immensely popular Sun day evening theater entertainments com pines the bumptious young man of the boardlng-hOuse table and the hero of the village store or tavern. It Is a pretty good bushes when the old audience on the iiOur:barrels is multiplied by I.OlO. and each idler pays a dollar or two to see the fun. Only let 1t be understood that 1t Is nothing else but business for Ingersol and fun for the boys. It has no serious sIds or wholesome public purpose. IngersOll IS doing neither n brave thing nor a useful thing. He threshes old straw with tremendous comic show of graphing some terrible monster. It Is side-splitting to those who can stand 1t all. He is undoubt- edly buiIo theological lecturer of the first order. But let nobody mistake his brutality for heroism. He risks nothing. be has nothing to lose; he makes about SLOUO q night out of it. He urderstapds all the tricks and manners by which a lecturer puts an audience in perfect sympathy with himself. He begins by tickling the already abundant self-con- eeIt of the class who flock to hear him. Men Ot oraIns, he says, do not believe in the orthodox religion. The stupides; of his hearers is quick enough to catch the inference. The method of arrogating all the intellect of ihe world to their side of a controversy IS favOrite with the school Of which Ingersoll Is the .master.r It illustrates the shallOwness of the man and his methods.-BOston Transcript.
