THE ARCTIC PaRTY

The survivors of the Greedy expedition
have been honored as none have been here
tofore, and while the nation reioices over the
safety of seven of the gallant explorers, it
laments the sad fate of the seventeen who
sacrificed their lives on the bleak, cold shores
of the northern sea. 1t is a source of COM
fort to sorrowing friends that the bones of
the dead have been brought back to repose
in this less inhosptable climate. Could
alive? After the failure of
the Darlington expedition, which
failed from no fault of his, he asked to be fit
ted out again and to make another attempt
to reach the party under Lieut.. Greedy. Had
his request been complied with, there
is no reason to doubt but that he could have
reached the point at which Greedy wintered
and taken with him supplies necessary to
subsist the entire party through the winter
and on the opening of spring they could
have sailed for home 1t is not our province
to locate the blame for non action
on Garlington's recommendation, but we
believe that if the request had been granted

Of the original party. 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 ex-
tremes they must have been reduced. Hun
ger and thirst, when protracted for any
great length of time, produce frenzy--reason
is dethroned and the. animal instincts are
aroused and it becomes matter
of little consequence upon what
person 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 subsisted upon
dead comrades. A party lost in the Rocky
mountains & number of years since were re-
| duced 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 ssme number of wild
animals.
1t is time, however, for this criminal folly
of sending men on these miserable and
worthless errands to be ended. There never
has been enough to gain to warrant the
sacrifice of a single human life in these ex-
petitions.

THE NEXT HOUSE


Some of the visionary Republican cam
paign shouters are making the proclamation
that the grand old party can elect members
enough to gain control of the next House of
Representatives. 1t is hardly probable that
the ''shoutersn really believe the stuff that
falls from their lips, but indulge in this
species of exaggeration from the irrepressible
Republican propensity to be always mislead-
and trying to grab something that is not
their own. They so about making asser-
tons at wholesale that cannot be justified
either by experience or prospective results.
When the Presidential election of 1876
came the Republicans lacked sixty of being
in a majority in the House. The same boast
was made then, that they would wipe out the
opposition. A great fight was made for the
congressional districts, and all the blandish-
ments of patronage and money were re-
sorted to, as well as tricks and ehicanery of
various kinds, but the outcome was that a
majority of sixteen against the Republicans
remained. Two years later the adverse ma
jority increased to nineteen. In 1850, I'M
der the stress of the most corrupt Presiden-
tial campaign ever witnessed, the Republic
cans gained the House, but lost it in 1882
under the tidal wave that was so furious
that New York went against the Republican
party by 1872, 900 majority.
There is nothing in the present attitude of
things that renders il at all probable that the
Republicans can reduce the majority against
them below twenty, and it may be that il
will remain so much as forty, and is quite as
likely to be the last figure as the first. There
are certain to be Republican losses in Flori-
da, Kentucky, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey
North Carolina, Texas and Virginia The
g. o. p. may possibly gain one or two mem
bers in New England, perhaps two or three
in the middle states, and by a tight fight,
make gains of district or so in Ohio, Indi-
ana, Michigan and perhaps California
But if the Republican Presidential ticket
should prevail, the House would not becom e
Republican, as the opposition would be sure
to retain its power. It is part of the
scheme of the Republican congressional
campaign committee to raise money, TO sci
up this claim. It may be that some success
may be secured in this part Of the project,

The Eyenfno Esercises.

The members Of the Army Of the Tennesse'
and their guests, about / 600 in ALL gathered IL
the dining room OF Hotel Lafayette for the even
ing exercises. Gen. Sherman presided, and,
after the reveille, by the buglers Of the Fort
Smelling band, announced that the Army Of tn
Tennessee always commenced their exercise
with prayer. He therefore called upon the chap
lain to lead in prayer. After the assembly, BY
the drum corps, zen. Sherman introduced Gov
Hubbard to tn audience, who delivered
THE ADDRESS or WELCOME.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen Of the Army Of
the Observation-Disclosures extends to you a cor.
dial greeting on the occasion Of your annual
reunion. She is proud to welcome yon for 8
second time az her honored guests. AS her chief
executive, but more especially as comrade and
a member OF your society it gives me pleasure to
assure you that her hearty and generous hospi
tally are yonrs. These expressions Of welcome
are not TO be accepted as a matter OF form, snct
may perhaps be expected as a matter, Of
course, but rather greeting Of the character
that the members Of your society extend to each
other when you meet at this time to re-
viye each other and renew the sacred
associations Of the past Minnesota has an
especial regard for the old Army Of the Tennes.

ITS HIGHEST HONORS FOR IT'S GREAT.
EST ROGUES.

EST ROGUES,
The Republican organs are having tough
time in endeavoring to fix some stain upon
the Democracy. Their frantic efforts all
turn to ashes. The last exploit of this kind
by the tattoed organ, the New York Tribune,
is thus met by the New York World:
The Tribune seeks to cast slur on the De-
mocracy by recalling the fact that in the days of
the Tweed ring Judges Cardozo, McCunn and
Barnard all Democrats, were charged with cor
ruption on the bench; that Cardozo resigned
under fire in order to escape impeachment and
that Barnard and McCunn s'were convicted and
both died in dishonor but immensely rich.''
For a marvel, the Tribune story is true. But
it is one creditable to the Democracy, and not
discretitable. The unfathful judges were pun
ished and driven from the position they had de-
graded through the efforts of the party to which
they belonged. Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, whose
mantle OF fearless, impartial reform has de-
scended to Grover Cleveland was chairman of
the investigating committee which brought their
crimes home to these dishonored judges and
drove them from the bench.
What contrast does this present to the ac-
ton of the Republican party, which protects its
criminals and honors its greatest rascas!
Stanley Matthews, the creature of corporations
and monopolies, disgraces seat on the bench of
the supreme court of the United States secured
by bride of 100000.
James G. Blaine, purchaseable congressman,
senator and cabinet officer, who stained the hon
orable position of speaker Of the United Estates
house of representatives with venalityy and COR
cuption, is the Republican candidate for presi-
dent.
The worst of the star-route robbers, having es-
capped Jail, are laboring with the Republican
national committee to purchase the election for
Blaine, as they purchased it in 1880 for Gar
field
Does not this well illustrate the difference be-
tween Democracy and Republication; between
the party which Furnishes official dishonesty
wherever found and the party which reserves
its highest honors for its greatest rascals?

most difficult that they have had to conduct.
They can now silnply gather information, which
tney are diligently doing, before they can &C
lively begin the canvass. They admit that the
outlook now is very dense. Senator Plumb, who
Is very keen man, said the other day that the
condition OF affairs in both parties seemed to in
dictate the.beginnings of q break up in both,
ana that no one could now possibly tell what the
outcome would be.
Whatever Blaines condition of mind may
be-. however gloomy things may appear to the
Republican committees, and there is every
reason to suppose that the Republican pros
poets have not been so desperate in twenty
years. Now is the time for
energetic, courageous, aggressive Demo
cratic organization. Such action is the
essential OF success. Take nothing for
granted. Allow no floating with the tide.
Activity and perseverance are needed. 1t
can successfully be shown that the Demo-
cratic party is the party of ''broad liberality,
Ut equal justice to labor and capital, Of
warm sympathy with the people, of opposi-
ton to the encroachments OF corporate
wealth and power, of economy and honesty
in administration. 1t can be shown that the
Republican party is the party of oppressive,
sumptuary legislation, Of intolerance, cor
ruption and rascality The election Of Cleve-
land means clean, honest government,
that OF Blaine means government of Ii
cense, looseness, prodigality and dishonesty.
Let the Democratic campaign begin. An
eastern Democratic journal says, and says
with truth and force: ''The Republicans trust
to treachery, falsehood and purchase for sue
cess; the Democrats trust to principles. The
Republicans occupy their time in collecting
money; the Democrats must spend theirs in
convincing intellects. -

IT seems to strike the eastern people that
it is important to know how President Ar
thur passes his Sundays. Last Monday IS
eastern papers had an account forwarded by
telegraph that he was at the Hotel Kaaters-
kill, New York, and attended the Episcopal
service at which Rev. Dr. Davis, of Philadel-
phia and Rev. Mr.. WATSON ofliclated. In the
evening he was present at a sacred concert
when Gonuod's Ave Marie was exceedingly
well rendered by Miss Smulz of Philadelphia.
OF course the President dined and Secreta-
ry of State, Freelinghuysen, Chief Justice
Waite, Justice Strong, Kasson, the German
Minister and Geo. Harding the great Bible
pub Usher assisted him in this part of the OBJ
servance of the day. As twas rainy Sun
day it will CRAFTY the American people to
know that their Chief Magistrate gave up the
day to devout meditationsand planning for bis
future fishing excursion. 1t should be re-
membered that no earthquake transpired
where the President was temporarily abid-
ing.

plurality was 5000.

AS if the country were not surfeited with
unavailing walls over Garfield, the lingo
candidate inspires Washington letter writer
to say: sit has been an open secret among
Mr.. Blaine's close friends that he has never
recovered from the shock that Guiteau's
pistol caused him. He was arm-in-arm with
Garfield when the assassin fired. He saw
the President totter and fall, and believed
that the next shot would be received by him
self" This sort of rubbish is not in good
form. Most people have come to consider
that but for Blalnc's fine Italian hand in
Garfeld's administration the murdered Presi-
dent would now be among the living men.
Whatever sensibility Mr.. Blaine has in the
matter should be remorse.
