-Four hi..- a.,.o.a

With hopes and with fears we sent them forth,
And they wintered there in the frozen north;
Two winters they spent in the Arctic zone.
Where slowly they persisted, and one by one;
But surely we ought to be well content,
As toward the pole our explorers went,
And they marked the exploratio line
Four miles ahead
Oh! but the record is wondrous fine,
With nineteen dead.
How many is that to the milep Hold on!
The record is made and the work is done.
Though most ofthem persisted along the track
We ought to be thankful that six came back
Of course we, must count upon toll and pain
But think Of the record and think of the gain
We have passed beyond the British mark,
Four miles ahead!
And here and yonder are cold and start
Our nineteen dead.
Where is the man who made the mark?
Turn over the leaf-that page is dark.
He made it-that's glory enough for him,
Though cold is his flesh and his eyes are dim
ONE lives must be offered for such gain,
And think on our right to be proud and vain
He has planted oar flag on the northwar
track
Four miles ahead.
| Well let us be thankful that six came back
And God help the dead!

WHAT is The MACAlNEo

The Galveston News, the Fort Worth
Gazette, and other papers continue to
speak of the "machine" in Texas poli-
ties and apply the word to the nomina.
tons made at Houston. Once for all.
and for the benefit of the voters of Texas.
we should like to know what Is meant
by the "machine." This is an old word
aud ono extensively used in reference To
nominations aud platforms by the party
in its State aud district conventions. but
Just what II means Is still questionable.
u Is used as II kind Of reproach, the
charge that the machine did so and So
being equivalent to the statement that
the people had no hand in the matter.
This is manifcstly incorrect. COVER.

The course of these officials has been nil
that anybody, even the most captious
and critical could desire. Their en-
phatic endorsement, therefore. by the
convention, was II matter of common

HE is THERE no THE vloToRY.

The-New York Sun wants Mr.. CLEvE
LAND to withdraw from tue race for the
Presidency. The Tribune also demanded
the Withdrawal of the Democratic candi-
date, but the interest in the Democracy
exhibited by the latter was not quite
thick enough. Mr.. CLEVELAND was, and
is, the strongest candidate whom the
Democracy could have put out for the
position.
In the case of the Sun, however, it
must be admitted that matters are diff.
ferent. The san is professedly a Demo-
cratic paper. Its utterances come from
the heart of the party, as it were, and
when it demands the withdrawal of the
Democracy's candidate it looks as if a
grave mistake had been made by the
party. There is but one way of meeting
this wild cry of the Sun. What is the
motive? Immediately after the inaugu-
ton of CLEVELAND as Governor of New
York Mr.. DANA earnestly pressed the
claims of a friend for office. He was not
appointed for reasons good and
sufficient TO the then executive of
New York. What was the result? The
Now York Sun began then to light GRr.
YER CLEVELAND with all the bitterness
and gall it could call into play. Merely
this and nothing more. The Sun is
playing into BUILrR's hands from per
sonal spite against CLEVELAND. II is
not a Democratic paper-i5 is DANA's
personal organ, and its advice to Mr.
CLEVELAND or the Democracy is eN.
tremely far-letchod and altogether era.
tuitous.
Neither Mr.. CLEvELANDnor his party
have any reasons for withdrawing him
from the race. He is to-day the strong
est candidate in the United States. Both
his public and private life compare with
anything in the records of any of the
public men in the country, and he is
particularly acceptable to the moral. in
dependent elements of the country. To
talk of his Withdrawal is the silliest
drivel, and it is astonishing that even
his enemies should so give themselves
away.
But we desire to impress one fact upon
our readers, and that is that the New
York Sun is not a Democratic paper. II
isa BUTLER organ pure and simple. 1t
stultiiies itself in supporting the old
demagogue, for in 1873 it denounced him
in unmeasured terms. But what of that?
All things are presumably fair in poli-
ties. Its demand, therefore, that CLEyE-
LAND be withdrawn is the most power
flll and convincing proof yet adducod
That the Governor Of New York is the
most promising candidate the Democ
racy has put up for twenty years.
Let it be generally known that his
enemies demand his withdrawal from
the ticket 1t is a confession of weak
ness at the very outset OF the campaign.
They are "rattled." The magnificent
personality Of the candidate has over
come them, and when November rolls
around, the wisdom of the selection of
the Chicago Convention of July will be
emphasized most Enthusiastically.
