The election returns from Illinois. re-
turns official from oil tho counties except
Cook county. and said to be accurate from
the latter. give Mr.. CLEVELAND plurality
OF 26. 1924 over Gen. HARRISON. The change
from the figures of 1884 and 1888 IS strik-
Ing. In 1884 Mr.. BLAINE got 1877. 469 votes
in Illinois, and Mr.. CLEVELAND 3l2,53l. u
Republican plurality OF 25.1lS In 1888 Gen.
HARRISON got BOATS and Mr.. CLEVELAND
1881. Il Republican plurality of 22.lo4
Til diminishing plurality might have
been accounted for by the fact that Mr..
BLAINE was notably more popular in Hill
nois than was Gen. HARRISON.
In 1884 the Labor vote was 1O.776. and the
Prohibition vote l2.O74. In 1888 the Labor
vote fell to TEA and the Prohibition vote
rose to 2l.7O3. This year the Prohibition
vote sank to ADD. while the vote for
WEAVER. the Populist candidate, was 2O.6S5.
Presumably the Prohibi,ionists returned to
the Republican party. while the WEAVER
vote WAS drawn in equal proportions from
both parties. But even admitting that 1t
came mostly from the Republicans. the
change from Republican plurality of
$4,000 in 1888 to Democratic plurality Of
10000 in 1892 is extraordinary.
1t isa question to which a definite answer
cannot now be given. whether that change
Is due to local and accidental chuses or to
permanent and national ones. Was it ma
tional politics. or low silver and cheap wheat.
or was it the local Republican tasco in
regard to the little red schoolhouse that has
brought Illinois to tho Democrats Some
thiui; must be conceded in any event to the
influx of new population ut Chicago. an in
fux which seems to have disappointed tho
hopes OF the Republican managers who
gave tho Worlds Fair to that city. Much
may be ascribed to the intelligent and prac-
teal Democratic campaign which the Hon.
BEN +. CABLE conducted in Illinois. and
something. perhaps, to Republican dissatis-
faction with Gen. HARRISON. But all means
OF accounting for the result in Illinois must
leave a good deal to guess and uncertainty.
Will tho State stick TO the Democracy. or
will it come back to the Republicans. The
next Congress election there will be watched
with interest. For the present the safest
thing to say about the political leanings Of
Illinois is that it is doubtful State which
has Just Topped with a vehemence that re-
minds you Of New York. 1t may or may not
flop back. according to the dictation Of the
future.

Tho Arctic Dogs.

Arctic discovery owes to sledge journeys
very large part of its successes. Thou
sands of miles Of coast line have been re-
vealed through the long JOURNEYS Of ex-
plorers and their dog sledges. We have not
yet all the facts needed for an exact esti-
lnate OF the proper place among the great
sledging trips OF Lieut.. PEARY's recent
Journey Of 1896 miles. bat 1t Is certain that
It will rank among the most notable.
From the time he started on May Is until
he reached the northern edge OF the Ice cap
where he left his slelges. PEARY was forty
eight days Oh the way. During this time
he was stormbouud four days. fogbound
one day. and IL broken sledge and high tenn
perature. soitcning the snow beyond the
marching point. cost him three days more.
The actual marching time was forty days
The distance travelled was not far from $50
miles. which gives nn average OF about six
teen miles for every day OF sledging.
One OF the aims Of the outward trip WAS
to travel near enough to the west coast to
map It's indentations. In attempting to
carry out this purpose. the explorer. In the
glacial basinC that feed the ice streams Of
the iiords. encountered many crevasses that
delayed him considerably. His homeward
march along tho upper regions OF the III
land leo was not inipeded by this cause.
The return sledge journey occupied
THU ty-one days. during three OF which
the explorer was detained In camp by the
severest storm OF the series. The sledging
work was therefore performed in twenty
eight days. The distance travelled was
about 600 miles. Ihe return trip being con-
sidarably shol tened by the more direct route
followed. This gives daily average of
about twcnty-ono miles. and it is doubtful,
all things considered II this feat has ever
been surpassed. The round trip was made
without any previous establishment OF
supply depots. and every ounce OF food. ex-
cept the musk oxen secured on the north
eastern coast. was carried on the slcdges.
The experience Of arctic explorers shows
that two dogs require the same amount Of
food as one man. and that they will draw
mans full load 70: about onc-fourth greater

A Change to Boston.

Last Sunday the Rev. DR.. DONALD
preached his farewell sermon at the Epis-
copal Church Of the Ascension preparatory
to his departure for Boston to succeed
Bishop PHILLIPS BROOKS as the rector OF
the Trinity Church in that town.
Under tho rectorship of DR.. DONALD
the Ascension parish has been more active
and progressive than ever before in its
long history. 1t is now downtown
parish, according to the classification
ward has caused. and so it has been during
the whole Of the ten years Of his pastorate.
That means that the increasing tendency
OF the people on whom an Episcopal
church must rely chiefly for its material
support has been to remove their res
licences to the upper part Of the
town. one. two. and three miles above
the Church OF the Ascension at the cor
ner Of the Fifth avenue and Tenth
street. 1t Is true that tho construction
OF the elevated railways. with other in
fuences. has drawn back to the neighbor-
hood some Episcopalians. but contiguous
churches furnish ample accommodations
for them. and the general development of
the region has not been favorable to Prot
estant growth The remarkable prosperity
OF the Ascension parish under such crcum-
stances bears emphatic testimony to the
administrative skill. and. more especially.
to the intellectual power and spiritual ell
lghtenment Of DR.. DONALD. In every d.
rection the sphere of the church has been
extended. and primarily because of the indi-
vidual zeal and ability OF the clergyman.
The loss OF DR.. DONALD to the Church OF
the Ascension Is. therefore. peculiarly seri-
Gus. The situation OF the parish makes
such leadership as he has given 1t essential
to its prosperity. even. perhaps. to It's con-
tinued existence In the ncighborhood where
it now is: but the ball which he has SGT roll
ing has now gained momentum which
will greatly assist his successor in pushing
1t further along,
The future Of all the downtown Epis-
copal parishes. however. is very doubtful.
The time seems to be approaching when
they will have to create almost wholly the
demand for them. instead Of supplying u
demand already existing. They are likely
to become missionary churches distinctive
ly. and to exercise such function they will
require pecuniary support from outside
their limits. or from endowments that re-
lieve them from dependence on tho contrl-
buttons of those who attend them. This Is
the future which DR.. HUNTINGTON foresees
for Grace Church. and it is the destiny to
which all OF them must look forward. They
will BIZ the churches of the poor rather than
the rich. and they must kndle the religious
enthusiasm which will give them vitality.
instead OF trusting to the social and spir-
itual influences upon which they have re-
lied in the past. They must Justify their

will almost double the distance which tho
man could make. Dogs. however. are prac-
tically worthless on extremely rough and
hummooky Ice.
It will DO interesting to mention the
greatest sledging fcats that had previously
been accomplished with dog teams. In
the spring OF 1854 Sir LEOPOLD Mo-
CLINTocKs only team was kept constantly
at work. and made 1880 miles In sixty days,
an average OF thirty miles day, their
sledge being rather lightly laden. On sew
eral occasions dog teams made tho distance
Of sixty miles between tile vessels Assist
ance and North Star In from twenty to
twenty-four hours. Sir LEOPOLD found that
dogs are most useful when despatch Is re-
Quircd and when tho temperature Is SO low
that 1t is unwise to expose more men than
1t Is absolutely necessary. Two men,"
he said with good team OF dozen dogs
ean travel at astonishing speed. made In
February n journey OF twenty-five days
with fifteen dogs. n driver. and an Inter-
prefer. and accomplished 42o miles with
temperature which was sometimes no low
as-4So. 1t is now comparatively easy
matter to start with six or eight men and
six or seven weeks provisions and TO
travel some 600 miles across snowy wastes
and frozen seas from which no sustenance
can be obtained"
When Sir LEOPOLD McCL1STocK finally
discovered the fato Of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN
In 1859. he sent out from the little vessel
Fox three separate slcdging expeditions.
each consisting Of six men and six or seven
dogs. Each division accomplished about
1000 miles during an average period OF
eighty days. Tho journey OF LOCKWOOD
and BRAINARD when they reached the hgn-
est north was ono OF the best feats OF Arctic
slcdging ever accomplished. Tho party
was absent from Fort Conger with q dog
team and Eskimo driver sixty days. They
made forty-six marches and travelled 923
geographical miles. an average OF over
twenty miles day. made during period
OF severe cold weather.
The greatest year OF Arctic sledging was
In 1853. when the nine sledgo parties sent
out in tho spring from the vessels Resolute
and Intrepid accomplished about 1000
miles Of slcdging and discovered and OK
plored about 1900 miles Of coast line. No
wonder that Arctic travellers. as the art OF
slcdging was perfected. came to hold the
pcrils OF Arctic research in light cstima-
ton. believing. with McCL1NToCK. that
there is now no known position. however
remote. from which a well-equipped crew
could not effect their escape"
PEARY has put n new phase OF Arctic
sledging to the test: and the splendid work
he and AsrRUP did in the great Ice desert
will rank among tho most remarkable Of
Arctic achievements.

accomplish for the multitudes wnich
changing fashion will surround them with.
Il ia reasonable to infer that the re-
moval OF some OF the Episcopal churcnes
from this neighborhood will occur before
many years. and we should not be surprised
to see the Church OF the Ascension lead In
that migration to the northward, now that
the withdrawal OF DR.. DONALD forces upon
the parish the practical consideration OF It's
further development. In that event the
machinery of parochial activities started
and organized by him would doubtless re-
main for missionary uses.

now get for its present site, ana H. TOO

MAGE's in Brooklyn Is moro suited to MS
peculiar variety of preaching ana TO MS

Already DR.. TERRY'S church has moved
from lower Fifth avenue to the summit OF
Murray Hill ut Madison avenue. ana the
day seems to be not far distant when tho
Protestant churches of all denominations
below Fourteenth street. few as they are
now, will be much fewer, until the number
is reduced to the limit actually required by
the demand which can be stimulated Tor
them. Naturally. the population OF the
district grows more and more OF jewish
or Roman Catholic sympathies. so far as
1t has any religious convictions at all. ana
the recruiting must be done by hard work
among the swarming inlidels and pagans.
As the successor of Bishop BROOKS, Dr.
DONALD will occupy the most prominent
Episcopal pulpit in America. but he will
carry to it an intellectual equipment and a
depth Of spiritual insight which both ex-
plain the choice of him by the parish for SO
trying n comparison and give assurance
that he will justifyiti his performance and
bring no disappointment to the great ex-
pectations Of the critical Puritan capital.

There are now seventy-two members

been favored with excellent programs.
Last Monday evening closed the con-
