Much has been said concerning the Greedy
expedition, and necessarily much has been
eft unsaid, which will only be made public
when Lieut.. Greely's official account of the
expedition is published. But any addition
to the literature of the heroic but fruitless
expeditions to the Arctic regions and con-
corning the brave fellows who bore the hard
ships that the world might be benefited. is
naturally a public gain. For this reason
not only will the friends of
the late Lieut.. Lockwood particularly
welcome Mr.. Charles Lanman's book.
Farthest North, but the general reading
public cannot fail to find it of interest.
The volume treats especially of Lieut..
Lockwood's part in the Inflated expedition.
1t gives brief but interesting account of
his early life and military services. and fol-
lows his career to its untimely end on the
9th of April, 1864, at Cape Sabine. The
story is made all the more complete by the
access which the writer had to Lieut.
Lockwood's private journal, which was
faithfully kept up to the day before the
brave officers death. The volume being
essentially narrative, the author makes no
pretensions to literary polish. He is.
nevertheless. concise in his statements and
devoid of all attempt at fine writing. The
story is told with simplicity and directness
which adds much to its value as feeling
tribute to a courageous, faithful and heroic
officer, who bore Americas flag to the
farthest point north yet reached by man.

tiOnalist vote throughout Ulster has increased
aud many seats have been carried. This IS an
important glin, since the one great obstacle IN
the way of National Legislature for the island
has been the line of division between Protestant
and Catholic ireland. The Parnellites have
successfully invaded Ulster, and while repused
in some of the lOyalst strongholds have
demonstrated that the National movement is
making rapid progress even i'll Protestant Sec
TONS In the three other provinces Mr.. Par
nell is supreme. In Dublin his candidates re-
ceived %. TIP votes, against 4,47G for the Con-
servatves aud 3,170 for the Liberals. In Cork
Mr.. Parncl and Mr.. Healy were elected by
vote of four to one. Everywhere except III
Londonderry, Down and Antrim the National
lists arc elected by great majorities Mr.. Parnell
will return to Westminster with prestige
grounded upon a great popular verdict In favor
of home rule and with n thoroughly organized
and perfectly disciplined body of supporters.
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Parnelfs splendid
triumph is creating dismay in England. With
the two great parties evenly dvided-and the
Liberal gains in the counties reported in the
latest dispatches point to this rcsu.t-the Irish
leader with his united contingent will hold the
balance of power and be able to block legisla-
ton and to force the Government of the day,
under penalty of dismissal, to take up such
measures rs he may propose. Political leaders
on both sides perceive the necessity of cOmbln-
ing against him and suspcnding the ordinary
course of party procedure. The London Times
clamors for a coalition of moderate Liberals
with the Tories as a means of defeating Mr.. Par
nell's ambitious designs; Lord Harrington
warns the country of the immincnce of an Irish
relationships and there are signs of alarm and
panic throughout England. That Mr.. Parncll
will make an adrot use of his opportunity there
can be no manner of doubt The necessity of
thwarting his policy may hasten that reorgani-
cation of English political parties which in any
event cannot be long deferred.

The workers in iron mills have expressed
their opinion in regard to change of tariff.
Their resolutions, which have been forwarded
to secretary Manning, are not exactly the kind
of information chat he wanted, but deserve his
attention none the less. Either from an
economical or a political point of view. they are
more worthy Of consideration than the pro-
cccdings of all the lrcc-trade conventions held
for many years. They oppose a revision of the
tmiil, n, Mr.. Manning might have expected.
Being from practical men,, they give practical
reasons. The workers believe that in most
bgduchc, of the iron business many work, are
closed even now, because it is not possibl. to
make any profit with present prices anI y,,,es.
With lower tariff more works would be
closed, or men would be compelled 10 v,rI, ot
lower wages. But in amy case, the worker, are
certain that a reduction of duties would bc
effectively used rs a reason for decrease in
wages. Thus the agitation OF the question il
clearly It var against a large body of labOrcrs.
Who asks it The manufacturers bo,n
spoken, and they protest most earnestly against
tariff revision. To the men, the WAC, are fine
matter Of chief interest, and to the cmpL,y,rs
their possible profits or losses; but both
protest against agitation. Who are asking for
a change Are the consumers of iron 4! But

manufacturers do, and what one of them asks

SHfRIfF DATIDSON'S BiLLG


Sheriff Davidson wants the city To pay the
enormous bill Of SIS O9j for expenses incurred
in defending himself against charges of various
kinds made against him during his term of
office. The really Infa"ou- impudcncc Of this
demand commended it 10 the Aldermen, who
have added the amount to the appropriations
approved by them. Fortunately the action of
the Aldermen has littlc weight in the Board Of
Estimate and ApportOnmcnt, and We cannot
believe that the Mayor the Controller, the
president of the Tax Department and the Prcsi-
dent of The Board of Aldermen will vote to take
from the city treasury the money to pay such
claim as this.
40 one denies that under Mr.. David-ons adj
ninlstratiOn large sums in fees were illegally
cXactcd, and that the Shcriil7s office has been
used rs an engine of cXtortiOn and oppression
Mr.. Davidson was indicted, but escaped cOnvic-

the letter of the criminal law did not trchui-
cally involve him in criminal responsibility for
the frauds prlciiscd by his suhordInarcs But
that he was morally responsible was beyond
question. Only by his Indifference to honor
and honesty in his Office were such frauds made
possible Charges against Mr. Davidson were

Mr. Parnells triumph in the present crisis in
English politics is unequi, ocll. While the
Liberals and Tories arc anxously awaiting re-
turns from the county elections and still regard
the general result as undecided, the National
lists are victorious throughout Ireland. At the
close Of the last Parliament the delegation
from the island included II Liberals, % Con-
servatives aud 81 Home Rulers. Mr.. Parncll
could not depend implicitly upon m)ic than
two -thrds of the NatiOnalistS, the remainder
dsputing his authority as leader and frequently
voting with the Liberals. HIS followers IN the
new Parliament will probably number 50. with
a total representation of 1903 members. The
Liberals apparently have not yet elected Il
single Irish member, and the Conservatives,
while gaining a few seats formerly held by
their rivals will probably have a smaller num-
Der of representatives, than before. The
changes effected 10y the Redistribution bill have
strengthened Mr.. Panelps influence. There
are now 1G borough and 80 county members,
against 81 borough and Gi county members in
the last Parliament. This reduction of the
number of borough members has made the de-
cision of the Irish electorate essentially p0pu-
lar verdict. The new electors combining with
the Old have pronounced in favor OF home rule
and Mr.. PIrnel's leadership.
While some of the Northern counties and
boroughs have elected Conservatives, the Ma

1t is a poor trick to seek General Logan'S
defeat on the ground that he is not eligible to
the Presidency of the Senate because he has
not yet been sworn in and cannot be until Il

Ifthis objection has any force, and if Rcpub-
lcan Senators wish to elect Logan, they can
easily overcome the obstacle by clccting IA
il President for the first day, with
the understanding that Logan shall be chosen
on the day following. There is no need that
the temporary President should even formally
resign. HIS absence, when the Senate con-
vcncs the second day, would yacatc the chair
and make room for Logan. Why not nominate
Senator Ingalls, an experienced presiding o-
Ger, for the duties of the frs; day Or, better
STILL why not follow the Ferry precedent on

PROTECTING JIIL-BIRDS.

The Supreme Court of Ohio has declared
that the registration law Of that State is uncOn-
stitutiOnal. This decision does not directly
affect the result of the recent election in Gin
cinnati, though it probably foreshadows
another partisan decision by the same court
overriding the decision OF the court below in
favor of Republican candidates. The object Of
the Democratic managers in Obtaining Il
decision against the constitutionality Of the
registration act was to shield several hundred
Democrats, including the most active leaders
and workers. in Cincinnati. from conviction and
punishment for violation of the provisions Of
the law. The Citizens Committee of One
Hundred had Accumulated a vast body of
evidence fixing fraud upon a great number Of
persons, AMI it was intended to prosecute them
to the end. The decision of the supreme
Court will save great many Of them from the
pcnitcntiary, as it was designed to do.
The court declares the law unconstitutional
on the ground that it may in some cases
interfere with the free exercise Of his ri ht by
person otherwise entitled - vote. The
consideration that it was designed to prevent
wholesale frauds, by which the free exercise
OF their rights Wa, virtually denied to a
