A Cheerless Christmas.

II think Christmas, 1888, was my most men,
orable one." said Gen. Greedy, the famous
Arctic explorer. to a reporter for the Buffalo
Express. with my command was proceed
ing southwark in the hope of obtaining helm
and about Oct 20 we ensconsed ourselves in q
little hut at Cape Sabine. Our supply of food
was running very low, and we were on very
short retions, every one being allowed lust
enough food in each twenty-four hours to sus-
tain life Under these depressing cfrcunn-
stances and amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that we contrived to
maintain was remarkable. AS the Christmas
season approached We oil looked forward to it
Win eager anticipation, not only as a festal
day whose associations and memories would 10
some extent vary the wearisome monotony Of
our lives, but because we knew that the winter
solstice would fall about Dec %, and that then
the sun would return and the long, dreary night
be at an end
christmas day came at last Chrlstrnss in
the Arctic reRionsl At o'clock we had our
oreakfast-thin soup made of peas carrots
olubber and potatoes. Our Christmas dinner
was served at O'Clock. Harken to our menu
First course, stew Of seal meat, onions bIub.
Der, potatoes and bread crumbs Second course
served one hour after the first, stew of raisins
blubber and milk. Dessert. a cup of hot choc0.
late. The best and most Christmaslike feature
Of this meal was that we were allowed a suffl-
Gent quantity OF 1t TO satisfy the pangs of hun
ger.
Our enjoyment Of the dessert-one Gun Of
chocolate-we tried to prolong as much as pos
stories; We exchanged "reminiscences Of bvgone
Chrstmases at homo with the loved onos 40 far
away. We discussed the probability of our ever
reaching our own firesides again. and we en-
tered into an agreement that if we got back to
civilization before another Christmas we would
pass the day together in memory Of that awful
Christmas we were then spending in the realm
OF the relentless ice king. Alas, many OF those
brave fellows never lived to see another Christ
mas.
Then we bad some singing There were
some good singers among us, and of different
nationalities, too, so we had songs In English.
French, DRuish and German. And then We re-
ceived the only Christmas present that was
vouchsafed to us that year. One of our party
-kislingbury by name-had some tobacco still
left, and knowing that most OF the men were
destitute of it he very kindly made a cigarette
for each Of our little party. Twill wager that
in all Christendom that day not a present was
given or received that gave such intense delight
to the recipient as did those little rolls of to-
bacco and paper. They were quickly affaua
and being pulled away at for dear life. and
thus my most memorable Christmes-a Christ
mas near the North Pole-ended in smoke"

Why They Com plain.

A good many congressman and about all
the place hunters are disposed 20 criticise
the administration for not making appoint
ments faster. Very few appointments have
been made vet, aud there are 10 signs that
sny comfortable numter has been decided
upon. The dissatisfied ones say the gov
ernment IS running along with the same old
crowd 10 the odcss just as if a democratic
administration had not succeeded a repub-
lican one.
those who give the matter a little thought,
however, soc the President has had no time
to consider the applications Of those who
have asked for offices. His whole tune has
been taken up with visitors. most of
whom have asked for places for them
selves or their friends. The num-
Der of ofice-seekers has been
so great that the President has not been
able to do anything more in the matter of
the patronage than to order the papers of
the applicants TO he filed and 70 announce
that he would give them attention at his
earliest convenience.
IL is clear that the President does not con-
slider the distributing Of the offices the most
important Of his duties, and it is also clear
that he does not intend to make appoint
ments hastily. His purpose is to appoint
only those he has reason to think will reflect
credit upon the administration. Should he
make appointments so rapidly that he would
have no chance to become acquainted with
the merits of the applicants the PROBABLE
ities are that a good many unit men would
get into places OF trust and re-
sponsibility. 1t would be del
icate and rather difficult matter
to get rid Of such men, and in trying to do
so he would make bitter enemies for his
administration. He is pursuing the wiser
course IN making himself acquainted with
the qualifications of applicants for a place
before committing himself to any one OF
them. Congressman and place hunters may
complain, but they will not succeed in get
ting Mr. Cleveland and his secretaries to
pursue policy different from the one they
have adopted.

The Quarantine Conferences.


Notwithstanding the fact that cholera
has almost disappeared from Europe there
is a feeling Of apprehension that the disease
will appear there again during the coming
summer, and that It will require eztrsor-
binary precautions to keep It out Of this
| country. Our ports that were practically
| closed 10 immigrants last summer have
been opened 70 them within the last few
days. and very soon thousands OF them will
be coming from Hamburg and other places
in which cholera recently prevailed.
The conference OF quarantine physicians
that was held in Washington last
though it does not appear 70 have
attracted a great deal OF attention.
The of1cers Of the marine hospital service
seem TO be confident that the disease can be
kept out of this country. The surgeon gen.
eral Of the service said it would be kept out,
and it is Co be hoped that he does not speak
more confidently than be feels. Ho is recog-
nizsd as a capable officer. though whether
be is a man for great emergency remains
TO be seen.
There was the best of feeling manifested
marine hospital service and state quaran-
tine officers. 1t seemed to be the wish Of
all that there should be no friction or dis
agreements between the federal and state
authorities, but that all should work to-
gether for the common good.
Last summer there was a lack OF harmony
between DR.. jenkins, the quarantine officer
at New York, and the marine hospital
service, but whatever ill-feeling there was
then appears to have disappeared. DIR.
jenkins was at the conference and seemed
entirely willing to corporate with Surgeon
| General Wyman in whatever course it
might seem best to adopt for the protection
Of the country, not only against cholera,
but other infectious and contagious dis
| eases.
The new quarantine law is made more
explicit as TO the duties of the marine hos
pital service when prompt and decisive
action is demanded than the old law was
In the event OF a Disagreement be-
tween the federal and local authori-
ties, the new law gives the federal
government absolute authority. This is a
| wise provision, because without 1t q con-
dition OF affairs might arise that would
leave the country practically without any
quarantine protection.
There is no reason why there should be
| any uneAsinees in this country on account
Of the cholera. There may not be an out
break Of the disease in Europe next sum
mer, but il there should be we are better
prepared at our ports to keep it out than
we were last summer. 1t would be the
part of wisdom, howe YER for all the cities
Of the country, those on the coast as we'll as
those In the interior. to pay a great deal OF
attention to sanitary matters.

The Tillmanite school of Politics.


Clemson College, notice of the opening of
which on July next was published in the
MORNING News dispatches, is the agricult-
ural college Of the state of South Carolina.
1t is situated at Fort Hill, the old homestead
of John g. Calhoun, and the nucleus of the
fund for its erection was devised
to the state by the will of
Thomas g. Clemson, Mr.. Calhoun's
son-inslaw. The college has been q bone of
political contention In the state for years.
The demand for an agricultural college-a
school for poor mems sons-was the fore
runner of what became the "Tillmaniten
school Of politics, and upon that demand
Capt b. r. Tillman worked his way into
notoriety, and finally into the gubernatorial
chair. At the beginning of the agitation
for an agricultural college Capt Tillman
declared that his highest ambition was to
see such an institution established and
possibly be a member of the board of di-
rectors. But soon bis ambition scared
higher. And 1t appears from the dispatch
referred to that Clemson Colleges ambition
also is doing some soaring. The poor mems
sons who attend Clemson to learn about
farming, stock raising and the manufacture
Of fertilizers at home must be provided by
their parents or guardians with Uniforms at
cost of 1913 rs each. Notwithstanding the
fact that the sight Of the uniform of state
military academy boy four years ago was
to GOV. Tillman what red flag is to bull.
"The military dude factory" is what he
called the military adjunct to the state uni
versity. 1t would be interesting to know
If he regards Clemson College as an agri-
cultural dude factory

Whose rugged brows are strangely ste epled

That Annie whispered over tea,
Perhaps Of your last new song or dance

"Let In the Light"


From The BrooklVn Eagle Denny.
Mr.. Carlisle has adopted an excellent plan in
regard to the office seekers. The names of APP
plicants, as soon as recorded and classified, are
immediately given TO the public. They are
thereby made subject Of general scrutiny
throughout the country. Information as to their
fitness or unfitness will not be confined to their
hackers" No citizen having knowledge Of
their qualifications or disquslifcations will be
debarred from communicating 1t to the admin
istration, Wider acquaintance with the char
acter and caliber of candidates will be an newt
able fruit OF the innovation. The rule established
by Mr.. Carlisle in this respect contains the
essence OF . heslthful and uplifting reform by
CT attic equality.
