THE enterprise and determination
which have characterized Lieut.
Peary in undertaking another arctic
voyage command our admiration, but
it is impossible to approve his judg-
ment. 1t is hardly within the range
of possibilities that he will be able
to carry out his design of reaching
the North Pole by an overland trip
and planting the stars and stripes
thereon. But even if he should, of
what service will the exploit be to
humanity? 1t will not render the
trip any easier for Others to take, or
furnish any good and sufficient reason
why they should take it if it is easier
There is not the slightest probability
that trade will be opened up with the
extreme north, or that any real good
will come to science, to art, or to in
dustry from any results which Lieut..
Peary may secure. This being so, the
expedition is a foolhardy one, and no
amount OF courage or daring or en-
thusiasm on the part Of that explorer
or his estimable wife can prevent Its
being so regarded byathose who look
the plain facts in the face.

WHILE we mourn the loss OF Eng
lands royal battleship and the he
roes that went down with her. we
can be pardoned the thrill of pride
about to possess us when our next
great protected cruiser makes her
trial trip. She is the Columbia,
nicknamed with grim significance
the Pirate, and she is expected to
crowd the peerless New York herself
in the matter of speed. Our navy
grows without much buster, but if
ever called into action we shall be
surprised at the number of efficient
ships that can suddenly appear to
whack the enemy between the eyes
and worry him from the rear.

A RAILWAY train rattling along &

A RAILWAY train rattling along at
full speed, and the lifeless engineer
clutching the throttle. Fortunately
the fireman was vigilant, and the
danger was discovered in time to
avert the disaster. But what i'm
mense risks to human life are in
vOlved in the vitality of single
arm. Heavy passenger trains, NOV
ing at great velocity, ferryboats with
hundreds Of people, all dependent
for safety on the man at the throttle
or the wheel And yet there seems
to be no feasible means of avoiding
such danger. Many Of our ferry lines
now have substitute pilots on the
alert, and it may be necessary to in
teoduce this plan on fast-running
passenger railway engines. 1t is ter
rible to think of the possibilities of
paralysis, apoplexy or heart disease
visited upon the man at the throttle.

A Scouts Tribute to Custer.

Living in comparative retirement
in a neat cottage on Ashby avenue. in
South Berkeley, is man who enjoys
the distinction of being, PEI haps, the
only white person who witnessed the
massacre OF General G. A. Custer
and his little band of cavalrymen
by hostile Sioux on the Little Big
Horn River on June %, 1876.
Josiah J. Rose is the man. He
spent nearly six years with General
Custer as a scout, first entering the
service in 1869, after Clusters restora-
tion to his command. Custer was at
that time suffering keen mental tor
ture because of his suspension two
years before for cruelty to his men
and for having left his command
without permission.
The charge Of cruelty against Gus
ter was, in Roses opinion, absolutely
groundless. This judgment is based
upon his subsequent intercourse with
the general in the Bad Lands Of
Dakota-a relationship which re-
suited in the discovery by Rose that
Custer was "a whOle-souled man with
heart like wOman'S."
Il have often read, here and there,
articles upon General Clusters char
acter as man and soldier" said the
ex-scout to the writer. "Nearly all
Of these were incorrect, particularly
those in which he was charged with
being cruel and heartless towards his
men, and all that sort Of thing. Now
/ know he was man with big
heart, kind and considerate. He was
a strict disciplinarian. however, and
this, no doubt, was the cause of the
attacks upon him. But he was a
thorough soldier, with soldiers idea
of duty and discipline. That cannot
be regarded as fault in command
ing officer on an expedition where
the observance of all rules of army
discipline is essential to safety and
success. San Francisco Chronicle.

THE fly in the German Emperor's
ointment is the fact that the French
army outnumbers his own. Accord
ing to the latest returns France had
1873, 900 horses and an army of $780,
603, of whom 2S,l were officers.
The German army at the same date
numbered 5l1, 1857, of whom 20, 44O
were officers; the horses numbered
93, 90S. France has, of course, her
foreign possessions to look after; but
the Emperor does not feel easy with
out as big an army as his republican
neighbor and inveterate enemy has.

1t will be seen from the above ia.
bles that the French people consume
most wheat, and the people of India
the least. After the French come
the Canadians, Australasians, Bul.
garians, Belgians, English and Amer.
leans, in order named.
In explanation Of the comparative
ly low average American consump.
tion of wheat it may be said that the
people of the middle West and
throughout the South consume a vast
amount of corn; not so much by rea-
son of its greater cheapness perhaps.
as from inclination and habit. Pri.
marily, corn was the food of the
negro population in the days of s.a-
very owing to its lesser cost, and the
negro cooks in white families no
doubt were instrumental in intro.
ducing the palatable corn "pone" and
other creations of like sort to the
tables OF the average Southern plant
er. This custom still prevails
throughout the South and has gained
also strong foothold in some of the
Mississippi Valley States, thus re-
ducing below several other countries
our per capita consumption Of wheat.
