Lieut. Greelys expedition has been found.-that
u, seven members of the party have been. Nine
teen out OF the twenty-six are dead and seventeen
OF them died OF starvation. This mortality is due
mainly 10 the failure OF Lieut. GarlngtOns expedi-
ton last year. and a board OF Inquiry ascertained
that for that failure not Lieut. Darlington but per-
sons OF much higher rank were responsible. And
yet according TO the Information OF the signal Of
nee, there were caches OF provisions at various
points between Lady Franklin Bay and the mouth Of
Smith Sound, which would have prevented any loss
Of life from starvation had the supplies always been
discovered, and discovered at the right time. The
public will soon learn the details of the frightfu
Journey OF Greedy and his 400 miles, they
fought their way southwark through the Ice in hope
Of meeting the relieving party, journey which 1t
appears that Greedy commenced in accordance
with his original plan The story will go with
that OF the Jeannette's party narrative OF un-
surpassed heroism without adequate returns 10
anyone, scientific or otherwise, actual or prospec
tive II will probably put end, for the present,
70 Arctic explorations carried on by government
aid; but the love OF adventure Is too strong IN
human nature 10 justify the expectation that no
more lives are to be sacrificed in searching for the
nOrth pole

The republican national committee has extended
more than usually allurtng invitation 10 the MEM
oers Of the party 10 contribute money "to meet
the lawful and proper expenses OF the campaign"
and with the utmost cheerfulneSS IL Invites the
attention Of government clerks 10 the fact that
they will be assessed only on the voluntary plan,
and strictly IN accordance with the civil service
law. The clerks need not withhold their ten and
twenty dollar bills for fear OF getting any official
into trouble. The law leaves them free contrib
ute, and the national republican committee cheer
fully assures them that II will provide receivers
and treasurers who are not In the public service,
and in no way aenable TO the civil service law. The
committee has not yet thought OF the most potent
device for extracting voluntary contributions from
the clerks. Let the committee quietly disseminate
the idea That IL is to keep false set Of books In
which all contributors 10 the campaign fund Will
be recorded as democrats who refused TO give
cent, and all WHO failed 10 contribute will be
cor,ied Is the most violent OF republicans, who i'm
pOyerished themselves in their efforts TO help the
purity, and that this set of books Is TO be allowed,
in case OF democratic victory. TO 'fau into the
hands OF the democratic national committee. The
clerks would promptly observe the twO-fold adVan-
vantage OF contributing early and amply.
