and a half feet beam and about two feet
draught. On this miniature vessel the
party are TO pass over the following
route:
Leaving Chicago. they pass through
the Illinois and Michigan canal to the
confluence Of the canal with the Illinois
river at La Sale. Thence down the IL
linois river to the Mississippi; down this,
stopping at ST. Louis, Cairo, Memphis,
Vicksburg, Natchez and other places to
New Orleans. From New Orleans they
will skirt the northern and western coast
of Florida to Tampa bay. Thence by
Key West to Havana. Between Key
West and Havana there is an open sea
sail which will be only undertaken with
2 fair breeze. From Havana the Fear
less will keep along the coast westward
TO Cape San Antonio. and from Cape San
Antonio to Cape Catoche in Yucatan.
Having thus reached Central America,
she will sail under the east coast down to
Balize in British Honduras. The ROatan
Islands viii be the next objective point,
and then Blewfields, Nicaragua.
The expedition is under command Of
Commodore Brainard T. Ball. member
OF the Corinthian Yacht club, Of Chicago.
Capt. William L. Brainard accompanies
him. Both are experienced yachtsmen,
and. although the Fearless is a small
boat for such a voyage, no difficulty is
anticipated in reaching its destination.
Surely the trip is a novel one.

WHILE watching the Speakership con-
test, keep your eye on the Michigan
man. This is what the Toledo Blades
Washington correspondent says of him.:
"The man who makes up his calcula-
tions without paying much attention to
the Michigan favorte is apt to come out
wrong somewhere. To be sure, Burrows
has not established headquarters here
nor has ne been heard of in the news
papers recently, but if you think he
IS asleep you are in error. Personal
and social influences of the most pow
erful kind are being eXerted on his
side, but so far il has been done quietly;
that kind of a campaign never is very
noisy"

There IS no doubt that the Republi-
can party enters upon an era of respOn-
si5lLty, with the couyening OF the next
Congress. It's whole political creed viii
b. On trial, for it Will tnen become the
creed OK the Government. For the
first time IN many years, all branches
OF the Federal Government are in its
hands. Success can Be assured only
by constant vigilance and careful man
agement. while disaster and ruin often
result from the simplest errors.
From q recent editorial IN the Wash
ington Press on the "Duty OF the Ma
jority In Congress" We clip the follow
ing wholesome advice. "The future Of
the Republican party Is to be made or
marred during the next SIX months.
Whether the Fifty second Congress and
the next President shall be Republican,
whether protection or free trade shall
prevail whether the Democratic party,
which has not had power to pass law
for thirty years, shall be put IN charge
OF toe Government that It vain.y and
at a fearful cost sought 10 destroy,
are some mOmenlous issues on which
the F1ty-hrst Congress Will practically
pass. The first duty Of the Republican
party in the new Congress VIII be to sit
down with most pOnterOus emphasis on
cranks and cranky schemes. The
country IS tired OF the smiling toler-
ance that has been accorded 70 long
haired men and weird sisters by the
Republican statesmen a the Capitol.

Ice, plans that imply the complete
overturning Of our system Of govern
ment, schemes that are radical depart
ures from the habits and customs OF
the people and that have no real back
ing outside Of little knots Of fanatics.
ali these must be given the cold shoul-
der. IL the recent elections have any
moral at all, It IS that the country is
