The Houston Democratic Committee
seems seriously exercised over the pos
sible Importation Of illegal voters at the
impending municipal election. This is
virtue run to seed. What Democratic
committee don't know about colonizing
voters is one of the lost arts. TO COM
mittees like that one need never explain
Amy ways that are dark, any tricks that
are vain-FOr have they not played them
again and again-FrOm Galveston Bay to
the harbors Of Maine-Tlll the modus
thereof lie as perfectly plsin-As the rust
on the mail Of their enemy Blaine Now
busy in building his castles in Spain.
The string of resolutions passed by the
committee on this assumption of cOloni-
Zation scheme read well, but it is new
thing in Texas to find Democratic COM
mittee so hopeless Of majority under
any circumstances as to hedge against
the result. What is Texas coming to
anyway. Perhaps she is coming to her
political senses, stimulated thereto by a
year of Democratic national mlsmanage-
msnt. We sorrow for the Houston De-
mOcraoy, but not as those without hope.

NOTEL ARCTIC EXPLORA TONS

Lieutenant Greely within q fortnight has
published an interesting forecast of future Arc
tic exploration, assuming that Amer leans would
not re-enter the field before the twentieth
century. and indicating Franz josef Land as
the probable route. The ink is scarcely dry
on his printed page when two bold undertakings
by Americans are announced, with Greenland
as the base of operations. In each instance
exploration is to be conducted on a new basis.
There are to be no white associates; EsQui-
maux are to be enlisted to drive the dog
sledges; and the explorer is to initiate as
closely as possible their habits of life and
methods of travel.
The more important of these expeditions is
TO be conducted by w. II. Glider, Lieutenant
Schwatkas companion in King William Land.
VINO has also had thrilling experiences III
Northern Siberia. His plan as we find 1t un-
folded in Tile HerdId is as simple as it is bold
and original. lie intends to recruit his party OF
natives and to obtain his dog teams this coming
summer at Cumbe rland Inlet or in Hudson
BAY. not having any filth in the Greenland
Esouimaux. lie will then put his equpaSe on
board Scotch whaler and land his party as far
north As he can DO conveniently carred-prob-
he will winter and in the spring go on to Fort
Conger, where lie will find the remnant OF
Lieutenant Greely's supplies ami an abundance
of game. If he cannot 90 directly north
through Kennedy Channel lie will cross Schley
Land and explore the unknown lands III that
quarter But if he succeeds III arriving nj Fort
Congcr. he will follow Lieutenant Lockwoods
track and endeavor to reach the northcinmost
point of Greenland, and possibly to make
dash at the Pole. The second expedition Is
less ambitious in design, but similar in method.
Engineer Peary, of the United States Navy, Is
now on his way to Disco Bay, whence accom-
panied bv one or two half-brceds and small
paIty of natives he will make the attempt to
cross Greenland in the direction of Francis
.Josrph Fiord When the natives refuse to 20
further he will continue his journey with the
half breeds
These explorations will entail minimum OF
cost and hazard, and are favored by the learned
President of the American Geographical Society
on that account. If success crowns the efforts
Of these daring leaders, there Will be a radical
change effected in the methods OF Arctic Work,
costly expeditions being shown 10 be unneces-
sary. Lieutcnant Glider will be forced to ad-
vance slowly. as the native hunters ana dog
drivers accompanying him will have their faml-
lies with them. While this will involve tedious
travelling it will be a reasonably safe mode OF
penetratng the icy Businesses of the far nortn.
1t is a singularly daring project, however, to
winter on the West Coast near Cape Sabine
where the Greedy party were encamped, and to
march northward over the perllous line OF
retreat from Lady Franklin Bay.

| This fact is indisputaDie. The contracts De-
tween the Pam Electric and National Improved
! COMPANIES prove that the Memphis SUIT was IN
stituted for their Joint interest after consui'a-
tions with Mr.. Garland But while 1t cannot De
denied that the Department was used ana
worked by the Attorney Generals business
mariners. the Democratic members OF the In
yestigating Committee will probably make
strenuous efforts TO vindicate both MIR. Car
! land and Mr. Goode on the strength of their own
professions of innocence and ignorance. lues-
dav's testimony will add to the difficulty OF thls
| political operation.
Mr.. Goode has declared that the official sane
tion piven 10 the Memphis proceedings was
merely a matter of department routine. Colo
ue CLAY. the Chief Clerk of the Department OF
Justice. testiies that it has always been the
practice TO refer applications like that OF Dis
trct Attorney McCory to. the Department OF
! the Interior and thai this was the first instance
| in which that was not done. Mr. 'Iooue a'tioh
in granting the application with precip'ate
haste twenty four hours alter he received IL was
not therefore a matter OF routine. IL was a
very unusual procedure explicable only on the
theory that he knew that Senator Harris, Casey
YOnng and the other business associates of MI
| Garland were anxious TO have him act as he dld
and without delay.
Mr.. Ga land has insisted that he declined to
! grant the favor which Mr.. Van Benthuysen and
! Mr.. Young asle and that he never suggested
| that Mr.. Goode would act III his place. Mr.. ' on
| Briesen testltes that i'll the course OF The july

! Garland, while refusing to do anything hinlseil'
! remarked that some other official could act III
the case. The name of the Sollcitor-Oenera
| he adds, was mentioned with that OF another
official. This testimony leaves Mr.. Garland in
a sorry plight
Mr. Won Briesen's declaration on this point
does not staud alone. DR.. Rogers has test fed
that Mr.. Young told him that Mr.. Garland had
promised that the Government suit should be
brought, but that everything would be left to
MIR. Goode j. II. Rogers has confirmed this
statement under oath. The action OF Mr.N an

would be certain to back them up. Yet ingenu-
Gus Mr. Garland would have the country be-

4 FAT4L TEMPERANCE ORIGIN.

Il Il
Is the Prohb bition party Of this State in favor
of Prohibition The question which Is seri-
ously propounded by The Poughkeepsie kagic,
although absurd on It's face is, as has already
been ponted ont in these columns. fully justified
by the course which The Voice, which assumes
to sneak for the Prohibition p"rty, pursued
while the Prohibition amendment was pending
in the Assembly. 1t was to have been expected
nav, it was to have been dcmanded-considering
It's many elusive protests III favor of temper
ance, considering that 1t claims to be distinct
lively temperance newspaper, that The Voice
would have heartily welcomed the Introduction
of the amendment and would have pcrsistcntly
urged its adoption with all the earnestness and
ability at its command. But the fact is that it
did nothing of the kind Indeed. if it had been
acting under a retainer from the liquor dealers
of the State it could scarcely have treated the
amendment differently.
The Eagle by way of giving point to its ques-
tion says:
recent number OF The Voice. the organ OF that I.he
ProhiboLl party. contained several communications
from Iqunr dealers threatening vengeance upon any
member should for suhmissi while tho
p.rer announced eliioriay and with yehemrnce that
no prohbltionst-that is. no third parry nan-wonld
hereafter vJe for such member II thus placed In danger
because Of support 4 the In other IL
gave formal notice TO all members in doubtful Districts
no matter whether Republicans Democrats that II
they vote submit the amendment they do their
pc ri and must expect any prohibition help
them conseq uences And cory OF this paper.
sIecially marked {" make this matter prominent
was tent to every member OF the legislature
II would not be worth while to give so much
attention to this matter were it not that il is
| ltI, Il md IL. .,F . D.,
hbitionists are honestly seeking Prohibition.
1t is right that these men should understand
precisely what sort Of support " the newspa-
per that Is credited with rejecting their views
gives to Prohibition, not III an of month VIII II
protestations are as valueless as they are cheap
but when Proh bition amendment is pending
in the Legislature. Artcmus Ward once
expressed the opinion that the insertion of a
Joke now and then in comic paper improved
the paper. 1t may occur To the PrOhibti0nists
that the insertion of an article fayorlng the
adoption of a Prohibition amendment while
such an amendment is being considered by our
| lawmakers is not out Of place in Prohibit or
paper.
10 remains to be seen what action the Prohi-
bitionsts will formally take in The Voice's case
| AS political party they have been charged
with being manipulated by leaders who were
playing into the hands Of the Democratic party.
! They now discover that The Voice has been
engaged III that sort of reform play while
ostentatiously engaged in pushing Prohibition
in tr, ir name. Ii therefore at the next Proh-
blton convention The Voice is read out of the
party for betraying the good cause why then
the general public may conclude that tho trad
ing leaders have been sent To the rear.
