The Legislation under which
this service has developed has been
fragmentary and irregular. For
much of its expansion there has
been no legislation at all, but only
treasury orders, and nobody has
any clear idea what it's bnsi-
ness or authority is. 1t ought to
he an important and useful ser
vice. The whole subject of quar-
antine and the sanitary regulation
OF commerce might yer. properly
be associated with the other
branches of the Treasury jlrisdic-
ton. But nothing so important as
this should be undertaken without
systematic organization by the for
NAL act of Congress.
The 60 called Marine Hospital
Service, as it now exists, is irregu-

authority though it has plenty of
red tape and gold lace,It interferes

An irresponsible Service.

In the days when the United
States had a merchant marine,
provision was made for the care of
sick and disabled seamen, either in
general hospitals or, at some ports,
in hospitals especially maintained
for that purpose. Every sailor con-
tributed from his pay to the hospi-
tai fund, which was administered
under the direction of the Treas
ury Department, and physicians
were appointed to look after the
sailors al the leading ports.
There thus grew mp what is
known as the United States Ma
rine Hospital Service. In proper.
tion as our marine declined the
service expanded. Surgeons were
especially commissioned, in place
of the local physicians formerly
employed. They assumed impos-
ing military titles, and as they had
few seamen to look after, their
jurisdiction was extended over the
public at large, and the Supervis-
| ing Surgeon General issued more
orders than the general command.

Arctic travel, just as they have re
duced if not overcome the various
perils which the early transatlantic
voyagers encountered. The navi-
cation of the Northwest passage
may be still dream, but it does
not seem visionary to believe that
the whole frozen zone may yet be
traversed and the Northern pole
yield up its mystery.
As long as there is anything to
be learned, any blank spaces re-
maining on onr maps, there will be
daring souls. eager to penetrate the
unknown. Lieutenant Peary has
given an excellent example Of how
the spirit of adventure may be
turned to profitable account when
governed by knowledge and prac
tical sense. It is safe to conclude
that further explorations in the
same direction will be made on the
lines he has laid down, and will be
facilitated by his experience.
There seems to be no question
that young Verhoeff, who went
out with Peary and did not return,
was victim Of the adventurous
spirit impatient of sensible control,
He was evidently ambitious of
accomplishing something by him-
self, and whether intentionally
abandoned his comrades or was aca
cidentIy lost, the practical result is
the same. His sister naturally,
clings to the belief that he is living,
but it mnst be cruel to encourage
such a hope. This accident is the
only cloud upon the happy home
coming of the Kite, and it does not
diminish the honor due to Peary
and his comrades, and to Heilprin
and to the venerable Academy that
sustained the expidition.-PhIa.

The Records of Two Alliance Presi-
dents COntrasted,

ucnVS SOnlf6SIcU,
AsHBvILLE, N. c., Sept. 1.-THE
Senatorial convention of 34th dis
trict was held here to-day. Mr.. J.
s. Davis, of Haywood, and Mr.. J.
NJ. Campbell, of Buncombe, were
unanimously nominated. Mr.. Davis
in his speech of acceptance, said he
was a farmer and an Allianceman,
and was proud of it, and had no war
to make on the farmers who had at
tached to ! the third party. Mr.
Davis, in speaking of who was the
true friend Of the farmer said: Let
me 6rsw aaontrast between the ex-
president OF the farmers Alliance,
Mr.. Elias Carr, and Mr., Marion
Butler, the present president of the
Alliance, and the moving spirit of
the Third party in North Carolina
o-day. Mr.. Carr while president of
the Alliance was allowed $500 and
expenses. / know it to be a fact
that the last year of his presidency
of the Alliance he only drew $3.50
of his salary and not one cent for
his expenses. Mr.. Butler on the other
hand drew the $500 allowed by the
constitution and charged for travel
ing near 5000, and besides this, bor-
rowing $475, making a total of
something over $1,000. At the
State session of the Alliance a few
weeks ago, at Greensboro, a resolu-
ton was passed cancelling said debt
of SAYS. Mr.. Davis said he was at
Greensboro at the meeting of the
State Alliance and knew the above
to be facts; and again, when Butler
came here to Asheville last October
to organize lecturers bureau for
this district for the Alliance, was he
considering the interest and econo-
mony of the farmers of this State
when he, self-confessed poor man,
stopped at the Battery Park hotel,
at from So to 81 per day, while
Messrs. Dayis and Bell, whose ex-
penses like Buffers were paid by the
order stopped at a. nice respectable
