Hazen in Trouble.

Gen. HaZen is a sensitive man. and he
feels keenly the harsh criticisms on his
management Of the 1852 and 1855 expedi-
uous for Greely's relief. He has tried to de-
feud himself, but his defense has not been
received with favor. He probably trusted
too much 10 sub0rdinates. As the matter
NOW stands the impression is that he is to
a great extent responsible for the death Of
those Of the Greedy party who persisted at
Cape Sabine. 1t seems that Grsely's in
structiOns respecting relief parties were
very explicit. In his letter Of Aug. Il. 1881.
directed TO Gen. Hazen. he desired that the
relief expedition 10 be sent out in the sum-
mer Of 1SS2 should establish a provision
depot .sat s permanent point on the east
coast of Grinneu Land west side Of
Smiths Sourd)." he also desired that
the relief expedition TO be sent out in the
summer Of 1855 should leave food on the
west side Of Smiths Sound. ssbetween
Cape Sabine and Bach Island," and that
the expedition should 20 into winter quar-
tiers at LittIeton Island. These instrue-
tons or requests Of Greedy were not fol-
followed. When Greedy got to Cape Sabine
he found nothing with which TO keep
himself and party from starving. If he
had landed at Liftleton Island he would
have found the same condition OF affairs.
OF course Gen. HaZen has excuses to
offer and reasons why Greely's directions
were neglected, but they were not re-
garled as sufficient when a court Of in
quiry investigated the causes Of the loss
Of the PToteus last year, and they are not |
regarded as sufficient now. In ordering
Lieut.. Darlington, Of the Proteus, to |
70 reach Lady Franklin Bay, If /
the way appeared clear, and to land stores
on his return trip may have seemed the |
right thing TO do, but it proved not to be /
the right thing, and he must now bear
the blame. His intentions were all right, i
but his judgment was at fault.

Georgia is fast acquiring reputation as
the home Of girls who possess peculiar
force" Lulu Hurst. who amused and
mystffed New York for two weeks or
more, is now in Boston, where she will
prove, probably, as great an attraction as
she did in the first named city. Another
Georgia girl. Matte Lee Price. is giving
exhibitions Of the peculiar force" at
WalIaek's Theatre, New York, and there
is every reason TO think that she will
meet with as much appreciation as Lulu
Hurst did. She weighs only ninety-fve
pounds, and if she performs feats like
those Of Lulu Hurst she will do much to-
wards destroying the impression that the
peculiar force" is nothing more than
well directed and skilIfully used muscular
power. There is still another wonder in
the field. A lady named Coleman from
Atlanta is now said TO be in Wash
ington giving private exhibitions
Of her peculiar power. Reports credit her
with doing more wonderful things than IS
done BY either Lulu Hurst or Matte
Price. 1t is said that she can, by placing
the end Of a billiard cue on heavy table
and holding the other end Of it, raise the
table clear of the floor. If she can do
anything as marvellous as that the
chances are that she viii outshine either
of the other wonders. When the three
Wonders get to work they ought to adHer-
not be assumed, however, that Georgia
wonders are confined to girls with a
sspeculiar force''

oninions Ahout Rlalne.s Letter.


The great difference in the opinions re-
specting Blaine's letter is very noticeable.
The letter j. 3 very weak production,
many sav. while others regard it as both
able and adroit. The Republicans are all
satisfied with il, az course. and their or
gans speak Of il as a remarkable docu-
ment in every way. As we stated when
the letter was published, its aim Is TO
draw the attention Of the country 70 the
tariff. Mr.. Blaine proposes that his party
shall light the campaign with the tarin as
the leading issue. He may not Wnoilg
succeed. because the Democrats will not
allow themselves 20 be drawn wholly
away from the administrative reform
issue. but he viii succeed TO a certain ex-
tent. II the Republicans press the tariff
to the front the Democrats will have TO
meet them. The Democrats win have no
difficulty in meeting them If the protec-
ton faction do not attempt 10 force the
party to take a stand in favor OF protec-
ton. II they do make such an attempt
the party is certain 10 suffer very
serious damage. The party cannot
figure as the friend OF the protective sys-
TEN while its record is in favor Of reve-
nue. reform. Blaine's high tariff argu-
ments could easily be answered from a
revenue tariff standpoint, but il would be
difficult to answer them if an attempt
were made to uphold both the protective
principle and the tariff for revenue ex-
clusively principle. In dealing with the
people absolute frankness is necessary to
success. The unthinking mob may be in
fuenced by simple assertion and the hur-
rah Of the campaign, but sober, think
ing people are more likely to be innu-
enced By that which appeals to their
judgments. The best opinion is that
Blaine's letter is admirably calculated 70
accomplish the purpose which Blaine had
in view. 1t may lack dash and brilIianey,
but it is clear that he felt that he had
more serious business on hand than main
tanning his reputation for qualities which
secured for him the title Of the plumed
| knight. It is the letter Of a demagogue,
because its conclusions are knowingly
| drawn from false premises, but it will not
be an easy matter to destroy its effect, be-
cause Of the difficulty Of getting its weak
points before the public in way that will
attract general attention. The letter was
doubtless disappointing to many, but
there is less disposition to pooh-pooh it
now than there was the day it was pub
/ lished.

A well known New York carpepfealer,
says the Carpet Trade ReUieic, went down
the bay fishing the other day, but luck
was bad, and when evening arrived his
basket was still entirely empty. To make
the thing more aggravating a withered
old chap whose sailboat was close by had
been hauling up fish after fish apparently
with the greatest ease. Our friend did
not ike to 90 home with nothing at all TO
show for his days sport ( n, and yet to
purchase from the luekier angler a
basketful Of fish and palm them of
as his own catch was an expedi-
ent not consistent with the high stand
ard Of morality prevailing in the carpet
trade. But, after some cogitatIon. way
was found for getting outof this difficulty.
Approaching within few feet Of the old
fisherman the carpet man made bargain
with him for a Basketful, but with the
understanding that each fish bought
must be thrown to him and he would en-
deavOr TO catch il. AS he explained, his
conscience would not permit him TO take
home and exhibit fish he had not caught.
He managed, however, to catch every
one, and went home to enjoy = well
deserved ovation from an admiring house.
