whale fishery In the South Polar area. which
hos been explored by whalers only In Its
northern limits.
Capt. DAVID GRAY Of Peterhesd. who can
speak with authority upon matters relating
to the whaling trade. proposes TO try his
fortune In Antarctic waters. In report ne
has recently made to friends who will en-
bark with him In this enterprise. he says the
fact is established beyond doubt that whales
Of a species similar to the Greenland whale
exist in great numbers In the Antarctic
seas, and are most plentiful near the
margin Of the ice which whalers have
never attained. All explorers who have
reached the edge of the great southern
leo barrier have told Of the abundance OF
whales in that region. Over half century
ago Mr.. ENpEBsy. whose name has been
given to q large island near the edge OF the
unexplored area, undertook to establish a
whale fishery there. but owing to adverse
circumstances. which had nothing to do
with the merits Of the enterprise. 1t was
abandoned before 1t had been fairly tried.
Capt. GRAY is convinced that properly
equipped vessels can achieve much success
in the same and other parts Of the South
Polar area.
Capt. GRAY's plan is to visit the region
Of Victoria Land. discovered and explored
by Sir JAMES Ross in 1871. Leaving SCOT
land In August. he estimates that 1t will
take him two months to reach this part of
the Antarctic waters: that he will have four
months for making his cargo. and will he
back homo again in April or May. He also
points out that within ten days sailing Of
these whaling grounds good harbors and
plenty Of provisions can be found at the
Falkland Islands.
There seems to be no doubt that the ex-
pertinent will be made next year. and II 1t
succeeds. the energy and capital that have
been expended In the far north will be d.
verified to southern waters. for term Of
years at least. until the northern whales,
relieved from excessive pursuit. shall have
had an opportunity to multiply and whaling
may be resumed in the Arctic regions with
prospects Of profit.

We must have had between fifty and hun
dred slight shocks Of earthquake In different

block and by the width OF two streets; five
are on Wooster street on the block above
| the school. OF the four places remaining
one Is on the schoolhouse block. on the same
side Of the street but not adjoining the
| school building. while the other two are
across the street and 1t the extremities OF
| tho block. These thirteen. licenses. which
afford the, only possible basis for the Eoes-
ino Posfs reckless libel on the Board
Of Excise. were originally granted. with a
single exception. during the period between
August. 1886. and April, 1888. The present
Commissioners. appointed by Mayor GRANT.
took Office on May 4. 1889. They had no
more to do with the location of twelve out
OF these thirteen saloons than the editor Of
the Euening Post. The one license for which
they are responsible Is that Of the saloon at
2l9 Wooster street. 1t is elk hundred and
ten feet from the school building. in the next
block and on Che opposite side Of the street.
Let us take another Illustration Of the
impudont fraud which the Post is trying to
perpetrate upon public opinion. Its map OF
the region between Thirty-ninth street and
Forty-second. west of Broadway and ex-
tending to between Ninth and Tenth ave-
nues. contains three public schools and
eighty-six licensed places. Only small
fraction OF this number bears the remotest
relation to the question raised by the Post
More than half Of the places are in Broad

hibited in black upon the Posts map we
have ascertained the date Of establishment

and of tho eighty-one. five. and no more.

tackled by this interruptions Mugwump
journalist. The remaining seventy-six
were located before the present Board came
into existence.
Such is the fraud by which the, EpeninO
Post. pretending deep regard for the in
terests OF public morality. attempts to
make political capital against Mayor
GRANT and the Commissioners by him ap-
pointed. It is as nasty an enterprise In the
way OF wholesale Misrepresentation and
suppression Of vital facts as we have re-
Gently been called upon to rebuke. 90.
II the Post should now shift Its ground Of
attack and assert that while the Mayors
Commissioners may not be directly re-
sponsible for the establishment OF the
alleged "cordons, Of saloons around the
public schools Of this city," 1t is their
duty to revoke or to refuse to renew the
licenses granted by their predecessors. we
can promise our disingenuous Mugwump
contemporary a lesson in the law governing
the action Of the Board OF Excise which it
will find quite as disagreeable in its way as
this exposure gifts treatment Of. the facts. :

name. It will not then seem too small for
State. being much larger than West Vir-
ginia and nearly as large as Indiana.
The census Of 1890 showed that Oklahoma
contained 81, 7O1 people. including 58s7 per-
sons in Greer county. claimed by Texas.
According to the Governor OF Oklahoma.
the population was 6o.4i7. exclusive OF Greer
county, SILT being whites, $3.50 colored.
and IL Chinese Under either reckoning,
even at that time. this Territory, which
had had no white residents fifteen months
before. surpassed in population two States
Of the Union. Wyoming and Nevada. and
also the much older Territory Of Arizona.
It is now thought that there are $4,000
people in Oklahoma; and. II 80, the opening
OF millions OF acres next year might posi-
bly, attract another rush OF settlers that
would put her In population ahead OF Idaho.
which had 1920 people last year. Be that
as 1t may. this Territory OF wonderful
growth must soon be knocking for admis-
sion at the door of the Union.
One OF the interesting features Of this
prospective admission will be its relation to
the problem OF Indian citizenship. Ulti-
mately we may look to see still further
extension OF its area. but the Interior De-
partment states that there are already
1913 Indians within the domains recently
added to Oklahoma who have taken or
agreed to take allotments. thereby becom-
ing citizens OF the United States. It Is felt
that the present Is transition period for
the civilized tribes in that region. and by
the time Oklahoma enters the Union We
may see provisions for including large
number OF the red men under her political
control to share the privileges and respon-
sibilities OF their white neighbors.
