As the Democratic party has become a Cleveland
machine, with wheel and cogs oiled with patronage
from one end Of the country to the other THIS SUI

There rs revival Of interest in Antarctic explora-
tion by the cable announcement that Henry VIII
lard is about to cooperate with some German
scientists in the conduct of an expedition TO the
South Pole The question is: Will Antarctic eX-
plorations yield any greater results than those
heretofore obtained by the American expedition
under Lieutenant Wilkes, in 1sSS-1s42, and the
Enclish expedition under Sir James Ross, IN o3o-
1892 The valuable results of those expedl-
tions were few in number. but, undoubtedly. more
can be accomplished with steam vessels. The facts
thus far upon record with regard to Antarctlc ex-
plorations are Nobody has got within 700 or 500

all seasons. that no human being has been met

and that 20 land quadruped is known TO exist be-
yond sc degrees.

the worst job ever known under any American
Administration.
Sweet as cucSoo's song was Mr. Collins's pa
thetic appeal to the Mugwumps to remain loyal to
the principles of Democracy. The Democratic
temple is open to ALL" he remarked with much
mellowncss; and if in council we cannot agree
in all things our motto is: In essentials unity
in non-essentals liberty in all things, charity
This being interpreted means, I'VE want your
votes-in fact we need them: in essentials, unity
in voting in non-essentials liberty for you to talk
about Civil Service reform and to deceive your
selves with the idle fancy that any real Democrat
cares anything about it; and charity-any amount
Of tin covering up the Presidents broken
pledges and sins of omission and commission. Your
votes brother Mugwumps, we want: and silence
respecting the Presidents hypocrisy and can't Will
