lie something singulariy misleading In party
nomenclature. Mr.. TRACY Is as thorough a
Republican as RoBEsoN ever pretended to
be- and yet he has absolutely nothing In
common with the Republican ex-Secretary
except the name Of Republican. His ideas
of naval policy. Of public duty, OF admins
trative methods, are In sympathy with
those Of the Democrat WHITNEY, and are
totally opposed to those Of the Republican
RoBEsoN and his brigand contractors. He
is working for the service and for the coun-
try; and there Is no petty jealousy in Mr..
TRAcY's nature which prevents him from
acknowledging that to build successfully he
must build upon the lines laid down by his
Democratic predecessor. Nor do we believe
that any American is more sincere than Mr..
WHITNEY himself in the patriotic hope that
the practical achievements Of the present
administration OF the Navy Department
may equal, and, II possible, surpass
those OF the last.

When the plous-faced Mr.. WANAMAKER got
the Postmaster Generalship even those who
credited him with contributing share only
Of the $780, 900 which he raised for the Repub-
lican campaign fund. thought that II 1t
was in expectation OF an office he had given
big amount Of cash.
or course, in the light Of WANAMAKER's
vigorous working Of his official prestige for
the stimulation Of his regular bargain coun-
ter, the idea that he put up for the Repub-
lican party from any other than business
purposes is no longer tenable. Political par
tisanship need not be considered in connec-
tion with WANAMAKER. He is oil business.
The result Of this bargain though will show
the truly great length Of WANAAIAKERs
head. We suppose that instead OF looking
back on his 100000 as failure he would
have cheerfully given unaided, with no
thought Of social advantage, but with an
eye to the profit Of his business firm alone,
the sum of $1,O0O,0Oo rather than not have
been made O member of the Cabinet.
Brother WANAMAKER himself furnishes
the evidence that he regards his Cabinet
Office as the biggest advertisement his shop
ever got. He is working it for all 1t is worth.
Reasoning on the same principles we
should say that the Republicans could
proftably pay anything above 100000
to have WANAMAKER get out and go back
to his bargain counter in Philadelphia.

orr sURyErons IN ALAsKA.

It was hardly expected that news would
be received this fall from our surveying party
sent to Alaska to determine the boundary line
between that Territory and Canada. Letters,
however. which have been received from Mr..
McGrath show that the sections led by him
and Mr.. Turner have safely reached their des-
tination. They may not have been able TO
progress far with the survey this fall, but will
be on the ground in the sprinR to carry on the
work OF delimitation from the gold mining re-
gion on the Yukon to the Arctic Ocean.
While telling OF the hardships the miners
have endured at Forty mile Creek, so called be-
caused 1t is point on the Yukon River forty
miles from Fort Reliance. Mr.. McGrath men,
tions that we are four or five miles the other
side OF the United States line. and are now
sauattinR on her British Majesty's possess
sions." There are no settlements in that re-
gion except the miners camps, and II We are to
infer from Mcdrath's casual remRrk that, while
writing among these miners he was on Cana
dian SOIL he alludes, with tantalizinR lack OF
detail, to the most interesting question he is
expected to settle. Our miners and map
makers had shared the belief that the scene
whore nearly 800 American gold hunters are
working the plncers was several miles within
our side OF the boundary line. This belief was
generally accepted until the Canadians throw
doubts upon 1t. based upon the testimony Of
Mr.. OGilyie OF their geological survey, who as
serts that the gold is on the Canadian side OF
tho line. Mr.. Ogilvie's report was promised
from Ottawa several months ngo, but az 1t has
not yet been published it is likely that the Do
mipion ls waiting for the results Of our survey.
Mr.. McGrath's letter shows that the evil Of
high water. which so greatly embarrassed the
miners in 1888, again interfered to q disastrous
extent with the progress Of their industry
during the past season. Last year the total
yield OF gold. owing to the continued floods,
was only about $4,000. But it is not these
placer dggings along the Yukon and some Of
its tributaries which afford the greatest
promise for the future. 1t is the extensive
system OF quartz veins and lodges which are
found along the Yukon for over 100 miles. to
which the Canadians refer in their geological
reports of the past two years. when they cay
that this region is certain to be the centre OF
very important gold-mining enterprises.
We read so many stories OF adventure and
discovery in other lands that 1t is refreshing,
now and then. to have tho scene Of the ex-
plorer's activity transferred to our own soil.
No doubt our surveyors in the far north will
have an interesting story to tell when they re-
turn Of their experiences during the long
Arctic night. and Of the hitherto untrodden
region from the Yukon far north which they
will visit next spring.

Republican Prospects in this Town,

The annual announcement is now once
more heard that the Republican managers
in the city OF New York are convinced OF
the necessity OF reorganization. The great
body OF Republican voters are certainly i'm
pressed with tho need OF such change Of
leadership as will enable them to acquire a
larger representation than resulted from
their efforts two weeks ago. After casting
some $1,000 votes, no solitary Republican
candidate was elected to State, county, or
Judicial office. Their one successful Sena-
torial candidate came within an ace OF defeat
1t is not denied by those interested that
the Republican party in the city Of New
York Is at this moment greatly in need OF q
reorganization Of some kind or sort. Its
district leaders, hardy, disinterested pa
triots as they are seem consututionally in
clined to secure whatever personal advan-
tages they can, and to do this irrespective
OF the views and wishes OF their associates
who are not district leaders, and without re-
gard to the effect upon the Republican party
at large. On the other hand, the sentimen-
talists-and the number Of these individuals
who are active In Republican councils Is
considerable-believe in widening, in every
way that they can, the chasm which already
exists between them and the workers" by
the adoption Of a programme which must
forever preclude the workers" from secur-
ing any important number Of votes for Re-
publican candidates.
The task Of reorganizing a political party
which has BENJAMIN HARRISON as its off,
cial and officiating head in the nation, is not
IN easy one. The labor is not lightened by
the vagaries Of the Republican leaders lin
the State, many Of whom seem to have no
definite function in American political life.
A dozen methods Of revival and restoration
of the Republican party in the city of New
York are proposed, but no one Of them
seems entirely to fill the demands Of the
situation. Last year. enrolment committees
were tried; the year before, outside volun-
teer organizations; the year before that,
Assembly district leagues. The result has
invariably been the same. and the ratio Of
the normal and trustworthy Republican
vote for State and municipal candidates 80
far from increasing, has steadily and year
by year declined.
Democrats can afford this year to look with
equanimity upon the state Of affairs asit ap-
pears to the local Republicans. After years
Of laborious reorganization, they are as far
off from discipline and compactness as they
were at the outset.

Our esteemed Missouri contemporary, the
Kansas Citv Times. is taking a large interest
In the workings OF prohibition in the ad-
joining State OF Kansas. and has done good
work In exposing the bad moral and financial
results OF the Dry policy. Some Of the Kansas
people have strenuously insisted that the pic
lures of their critic across the boundary line
were overdrawn. but there is no doubt that the
sentiment for a resubmission OF the prohibition
question to the people is strong in the Kansas
cities. and the campaign for resubmission has
a gallant chief in the Missouri paper. But We
can hardly believe tho report that the Hon.
JOHN JAMES INGALLS, will have trouble in get
ting another term in the Senate. Mr. INGALLS,
is not fanatic by any means. He is very
cool l-headed fellow, albeit sometimes hot Of
speech. When he says, as the Kansas Citv
Times reports. that resubmission is all nom
sense" he must know what he Is talking about.
The smashing defeats OF the Dry in New
Hampshire, Massachusetts. Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania. and almost everywhere else
whore the prohibition question has come up In
the last year or two. have naturally raised the
hopes OF the opponents Of prohibition In Kan
sas. Iowa. too. has just given them encour-
agement. There is already determined effort
to upset tho prohibitory system In the Sun
flower State, and we have no doubt that the
HOV9uouL Will REON, bS oNoEy uONohout
makes for the freedom OF the community and
the individual Is sure to do. But at present
the strength OF the movement is found In the
cities. LeHvenworth. Atchison, Wichita, To-
peka know that for them prohibition is q cost
ly humbuG. But their population is not large
and the farming interest. which is the main
resource OF the State. is not yet stirred up
against prohibition. Prohibtory laws can be
enforced in o sparsely settled community. pro-
vided public sentiment sustains them Mr.. IN
CALLS sees no evidence rs yet that the farmers
are dissatisfied. AS long as they are not, 1t is
not likely that he will have to exert himself to
stay In the Senate. He has, OF course. rivals
anxious to succeed him. but his intellectual
prominence. his high place in tho Senate. and
the distinction which he confers upon tho State
give him O great advantage over them. His
tongue is pretty sharp, but his constituents
would naturally prefer him to mediocnty.
However. since the surprise party which
Iowa gave to MIR. ALLISON. Mr.. INGALLS, doubt
less finds 1t the part Of prudence to look after
his fences carefully.
