THE ARCTIC PARTY.

The survivors of the Greedy expedition
have been hOnOrcd as none have been
heretofore, and while the nation reioices
over the safety of the gallant explorers,
it lamcnts the sad fate of the seventeen
who sacrificed their lives on the bleak,
cold shores of the northern sea. 1t is a
source of comfort to sorrowing friends
that the bones of the dead have been
brought back to repose in this less inhos-
pltable climate. What a narrow escape
the seven had If it be true, as reported,
that they were compelled to subsist on
the flesh Of their dead comrades, TO what
extremes they must have been reduced.
Hunger and thirst, when protracted for
any great length of time, produce frenzy
reason is dethroned and the animal in
stincts are aroused, and it becomes mat
ter Of little consequence upon what a per-
son so reduced subsists. If then the dead
were consumed by these hungry men it
is not strange. 1t is not the first time
that survivors have subsistcd upon dead
comrades. A party lost in the Rocky
mountains number of years since were
reduced to the same necessity, and when
those who were alive were found they
seemed to have lost their reason and had
no more intelligence than the same num-
Der of wild animals.-St. Paul Globe.

NO REASON FOR CHANGE.

On the 1st day of July, 1865, the Ma
tional debt was $s,756, 4S1, 57. On the
1st day of July, 1884, 1t was 81, 45o, O5O, 235.
Thus the American people have in the
time paid the interest promptly and set
tied 81, 3O6, 391 1886 of the principal, with
in small amount of onc-half of it. This
is the debt which the Democratic prophets
foretold would never be paid. In the
meantime the Nation has prospered as
never before, and to-day, thanks to the
Republican party-with human slavery
wiped out, with stable currency the
best in the world, with credit at home
and abroad unequalcd by the wcalthicst
Nation upon the globe, at peace with the
world-it is the veritable land Of promise.
The enemies of the Republican party to-
day can not give any excuse for a change
from Republican policy.
Looking at the figures we have mention
ed, glancing at the past and current his
tory to see what the Republican party has
accomplished, no reasonable or fair man
but is forced to say, "Wcll done, good
and faithful servant"
If it has failed in patriotism-whenY IF
it has slept on guard-where? If it has
not protected the weak and helpless and
defended the right with the loss of it's best
blood, then history asserts falsehood.
The Democratic party can not to-day
n
its banners from the dark days of 1860 to
the present which will inspire its follow
ers with enthusiasm. What can it say to
the young men just coming into active
life and duty? The less the better. If
it could blot out the past of history, the
present and the future would give larger
promise. -Inter OceNN.

AT the Republican headquarters it is
seriously feared that Cleveland may be
taken of the ticket and somebody else
substituted. Nothing has ever been seen

weak, and that was the day after he was
nominated. -Broadaoay Lounger.
