ily shoreward on the flowing tide.
William Jones now evinced increas-
ing excitement, and urged his compan-
ion to hurry quickly forward-which
she did, putting out all her strength
in a series of rapid and powerful
strokes. Another quarter of an hour
brought them to the spot where the OBJ
ject was floating. Trembling with
eagerness, the man leaned over the
boats side with outstretched hands,
AS he did SO, Matt turned her head
away with curious gesture of dread.
"What is it, William Jones?" she
asked. not looking at him. 1T isn't

After an unavailing effort to force it
open with his hands, he drew forth a
large clasp-knife, worked away at the
lock. and tried to force open the lid,
which soon yielded to his efforts. as
the action of the salt water had al
ready begun to rot the wood. On be-
ing thus opened, the box was found to
contain only couple of coarse linen
shirts. an old newspaper, two or three
biscuits and half bottle of some dark
fluid.
After examining these articles one

into the box with gestures of disgust,
retaining only the bottle, which he nm

THE DODGING PARTY.
Destructive and Deceptive Tendencies of
the Democracy.


the Democracy.
Students of American politics often
wonder at the tenacity with which tine
democratic party holds on to existence.
Half dozen times in its history it has
been worthy of extinction as \ nuis-
xnce. But it rises again, by accretions
of voters who ought to knoJv better.
but who apparently don't Why is
this? What class of people affiliate
with it, and why? What is the attrac-
ton that draws voters 20 it? :,
1t is because it is party of dodgers
It makes high-souniin claims in its
platforms, but it never fuifills them in
any proper sense. 1t lodges every
issue. Its voting strength is made up
of dodgers 1t has an attraction for
those weak invertebrates who are
constitrtionally afraid to take de-
cided stand on anything. Like seeks
like. and the dodgers go to the demo-
cratic party.
There is only one condition OF at
fairs wherein the democracy takes a
decided stand, and that is when it is
out of power. Then it assumes the
easy role of destructive. 1t opposes
every bit of constructive legislation,
every new policy, every advance step.
Anybody can find fault Many people
can do nothing else SO well But this
is only another manifestation of the
lodging instinct When a new policy
is formulated, the instinct of the
dodger is to dodge it. And to find
fault with or protest against the pro-
posed step is the only way to dodge it.
The democratic party has a hard
time lodging just now. 1t tried to
dodge the repeal bill by getting up
compromise. but failed 1t is trying to
dodge the tariff issue. 1t will try to
dodge the financial question later; and
very soon indeed we shall see an at
tempt to dodge the Hawaiian matter.
If there were no dodgers there could
be no democratic party. Toledo Blade.

In the Far North.

The whole region is one of severe
cold, and the sea is frozen over the
greater part of the year, land and
water becoming almost indistinguish-
able, but for the incessant movement
and drift of the sea ice. In summer
the sea ice breaks up into foes, which
may drift away southwark and melt,
or be driven by the winds against the
shores of continents or islands, leav-
ing lanes of open water which ashift
of wind may change and close in an
hour.
Icebergs launched from the glaciers
of the land also drift with the tide,
current and wind through the more
or less open water. Possibly at some
times the pack may open and clear
waterway run through to the pole,
and old whalers tell of many year
when they believed that few days
steaming would carry them to the
end of the world, if they could have
seized the opportunity. At other
times routes traversed in safety
time after time may be effectively
closed for years, and all advance
barred.
Food in the shape of seal or walrus
in the open water, reindeer, musk
OK, polar bears or birds on the land
may often be procured, but these
sources cannot be relied upon. Adj
vance northward may be made by
water in a ship, or by dog-sledge, or
on foot, over the frozen snow or ice.
Each method has grave drawbacks
Advance by sea is stopped when the
young ice fC ms in autumn, and land
advance is hampered by the long
Arctic night, which enforces months
of inaction, more trying to health
and spirits than the severest exer-
tion. -McClure's Magazine.

The San Francisco ArgOnaut,

The San Francisco ArgOnaut, COM
menting upon the endowment of the
University which bears the name of
the late Leland Stanford, says that
the property which will come into its
possession when Mrs. Stanford leaves
this world includes 8,4O0 acres at
Palo Alto, $4,000 acres at Grldley,
and $4,000 acres at Vina, and that
IF all the land in the three proper.
ties which is suited to vine growing
were planted in vines it would repre-
sent the enormous sum Of 5000, 900,
900 and an annual income of over
s11, 900, 900 year" The "if, how
ever is the uncertain quantity which
stands in the way of knowing what
this endowment means. Many
ranches in California valued at mill
ions yield no net revenue, and the
great body of the land donated to
this university thus far has yielded
little beyond the taxes and operative
expenses. Until these lands can be
rendered profitable no revenue valua-
tion can be put upon them. The
real endowment is the $4,000 900 of
interest-bearing bonds left in the
will by Mr.. Stanford, which ought to
yield s125, 900 per annum to meet the
running expenses of the University.
Mr.. Stanford has done a noble and
generous act in eodowing the uni
versity, but what it will come to re-
mains to be seen.

KALAMAZOO has evidently not yet

KALAMAZOO has evidently not yet
reached the metropolitan stage of
development so far as her police de-.
partment is concerned. An officer
who arrested a respectable young
couple the other night, apd locked
them up without investigating the
case, has been compelled to resign,
and he considers himself lucky that
he was not dishonorably discharged
from the force and prosecuted into
the bargain: Imagine such an Incl
dent in Chicago. Conceive of po-
lice officer resigning because he had
made an outrageous and illegal ar.
rest. If such precedent were fol-
lowed the vacancies on the force
would be numerous enough to satisfy
even the aldermen who are on the
lookout for places for their constitu-
ents. Resign? Not much. On the
contrary the efforts of the depart.
ment would be devoted not to making
reparation for the outrage but to
blackening the character Of the per-
sons arrested with a view to vindicat-
ing the officer who made the arrest.
That is where the Kalamazoo copper"
showed his provincialism.
