His Plans for Another Trip to Northern
Greenland.

Greenland.
Lieut. r. E. Peary, the arctic explorer. will
sail for north Greenland about the LIST of next
July. The party will not number over ten per-
sons, and it will carry all the supplies necessary
for two years in north Greenland. In a recent
conversation about his proposed expedition he
said that he was proceeding to hunt for the
facts. His first trip he said he would go as far
as the northernmost ice caps of Greenland, and
he did. That was 500 miles from the pole.
From there, looking poleward, he could see
land masses extending far beyond.
Now" he said. Il propose to go to the fur
thermost end of land on the north of Green
land. over which got look before. That will
undoubtedly bring me very much nearer to the
pole, but it would be an entire mistake on the
part of the public to suppose that my first OBJ
ject is to get TO the pole. 1 may do SO, but
promise to go only to the end of the land, and
it will depend simply how much farther beyond
the land the pole may be whether l make the
attempt or not. In other words. reaching the
pole will be simply matter of luck. There is
no use in trying to say what 1 may try to do
under conditions that will remain unknown
until get TO the limit of the land II it is then
found possible 1 may have the pleasure of
standing right under the pole star.
The Academy of Natural Sciences has aided
in my second expedition SO far as to secure a
leave Of absence from the navy. 1 am trying to
raise money for the expedition by lectures 1t
will cost about eos ,000.'

it to be the bumerus of pig. Lord John
afterward satisfied the professor natural curl

from America to the English statesman the

had breskfasted off it several times with much

aroused. and the bone was sent to their scien-

it frightened, how it recovered its
rosy hue, how it became a picture
of happiness and JOY. Do you re-
member these thingsf Many peo-
pie do, and gladly tell how the
health returned, how happiness
came back, how the world seemed
bright. They tell how they were
once weak, nerveless, perhaps in
pain, certainly unhappy. They tell
of sleepless nights, restless days,
untouched food, unstrung nerves.
And then they tell how they be-

Beware of Such Democracy.

Extracts" from an old San Antonio
Democrat.
A communication, headed as above and
signed "A Life Long Democrat" reached
us yesterday evening. We generally pay
no attention to any communication whose
author withholdS his own name from us,
ard consequently will not notice life
long democrat" hereafter and only take
pity on him now, since he appeals TO us to
please notify his party friends that
the teachings of an editorial in an
evening administrator paper advis-
ing all democrats to vote for Cap
tain Phil Shardein because he is
a lifelong democrat is fallacy and too
much misleading to claim attention Of the
old democrats who lived here in the sew
entities. As historical fact he then under
the contest of 1876, when a genuine dem
ocracy nominated Gen. VIM. b. Knox, for
the office of sheriff, and that Capt.
Phil. Shardein opposed him-the reRu-
lar nominee-and sought and worked
to accomplish his defeat by re-
publican votes. As to putting the
question to Mr.. Shardein, whether he
will on coming election, vote for demo-
Gratis on the Paschal ticket or just stick
to the republicans on his, we leave that
for Others, it seems to us too ridiculous a
question to be propounded. We are only
glad we received the communication be-
fore few of our old republican friends,
captured the Lopez meeting last night for
Capt Shardein, although it was called
oStensibIy by laboring men for the pur-
pose of finding new candidate against
our efficient present city Marshal.
Had our old San Antonio Life long
Democrat" been enabled to touch up the
matter, his communication would have
been too lengthy for our use, and he
must pardon us FOR only mentioning out
of his communication what appeared tc
us as correct political "reminiscences.

When l got to where they were l found
out they were county convicts and that
most of them were tramps who had been
sent out there for vagrancy by one OF the
justices of the peace. One OF them. a per-
feet Hercules, who seemed to be the
spokesman of the party, said: You had
your fun with us last week in your court
when you gave us sixty days work on the
roads, and now we are going to have our
fun out here with you and pitch you into
