1t was feared in some quarters
during the past few days that the
Wellman Arctic. exploration party
had been lost, but later advices indi-
cate that the travellers are still safe
This is happy turn of affairs, to be
sure but the first rumors as to the
fate of the party emphasize again
the fearful risk which members of
such expeditions assume, and raise
the query whether the results attained
are, considering the peril involved,
really worth the while from practi-
cal standpoint.

PoPULIsT AND CALIFORNIAN.

What the CALIFORNIAN said in its
editorial of July 5, on IAN Alarming
Strike" has drawn fire from popu-
list in the far-away state of Califor-
MIA, who deigns to forward his criti-
cism on a postal card. He writes
that the editorial in question was
read Ito coterie of trends who had
assembled to discuss the situation
of affairs III the United States :" and,
taking his word for it, the purpose
of this public reading was ''to illus
trate how backward the people and
the press of Vermont ale in the mat
ter of the much-needed reform III poll
tics throughout the civilized world" "
Our populist critic appears to be
somewhat sympathetic and tender
in his makeup, aside from bis ten
dency to call pet names, for he says:
The undersigned, hoping you were
of a susceptible nature, volunteered
to place you right in pursuing your
welfare and that of the human fam1-
ly, by informing you that the prOpO-
sition of true reformers is to have
the wealth of the world go to the
industrials who produce it and not
to the fnanciers who produce mis-
chief only"
Such an utterance as this scarcely
needs comment. Itspeak5 very large
ly and loudly for itself But we feel
impelled to say that, while the GALE
DOMAIN fully appreciates the tender
interest which the critic claims to
have in its welfare and that of the
human family in general, it most sim
cerely congratulates the press and
people of Vermont that the revolu
tionary principles involved in the
above-quoted paragraph do not find
an abiding-place within our borders.
The outcome Of the recent labor
disturbances demonstrates that but
few localities in this great and grow
ing country have any use for the SEN
timents which our populist friend
foolishly sees fit to harbOr.

Interference on the part of China
in the affairs of Corea, which is
virtually an INDEPENDENCE, has
aroused Japan, and there is war be-
tween the two nations. Tits scarcely
to be supposed the Misunderstanding
will terminate in an officially declar-
ed war, but there have already been
several naval encounters, and it will
require delicate and wise manipu-
lation of the questions in dispute to
prevent serious consequences. War
between these two nations might
bring on a complicated condition of
things, for Russia and England have
special interests in the direction of
Corea. 1t is to be hoped that an
amicable settlement may be arrang-
ed between China and Japan and
disastrous war averted.

THE VALUE OF THE FAIR.

A word or two concerning the
coming county fair. A caller at the
office the other day inquired as to
what the plan of the fair officials
was, remarking that the farmers in
his section of the county were get
ting anxious to know what to get
ready for"
Anxiety OF this sort is a whole
some indication of interest, and it
ought to spread throughout the en-
tire county. The fair which is to be
held here next month will not be one
operated only for the benefit OF the
directors. 1t will not be a fair espec-
tally designed for the stockholders,
though the latter will, for reasons
that are obvious, have a special in
terest in its success. 1t will not be a
fair for the horsemen alone. 1t will
be the peoples fair. and if the peo-
pie themselves take this view of the
matter there will be no doubt of its
success.
The value of the fair to the farm
ers and other citizens of the county
depend very largely on their individ-
ual interest in it, their contributions
to its list of attractions, and their
personal presence within its gates.
The horses and the operations on
track will attract many. But aside
from this feature of the fair, there
IS value in these gatherings-frotn
a distinctively agricultural point of

The great tariff deadlock is still
on at Washington, but late advices
indicate more hopeful feeling on the
part of the conferrees. The sugar

but it is claimed that the house

NE WSPAPER TALK.
Why the Strike Lived.

The strike would not have lived
two days in Chicago if the state of
Illinois had not been afflicted with
an anarchist for its governor and
the city OF Chicago with a dema-
gogue for its mayor. The letter of
Governor Altgeld to President Cleve-
land affecting to protest against the
employment of federal troops in the
state OF Illinois would be ridiculous
il its direct effect was not to encour-
age the strikers and to prolong the
state Of things from which Chicago
aud Illinois are so severely suffering.
When Governor Altgeld pretends that
there was no need of military force,
he simply lies. His letter is COW
ardly bid for the votes of the strikers
and their svmpathizers, and that is
all there is to it St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
Lincoln OH the Tariff Question.
Abraham Lincoln's first speech on
the tariff question was short and to
the point He said that he did not
pretend to be versed in political econ
omy, but he thought he knew enough
to know that when an American
paid twenty dollars for steel to an
English manufacturer, America had
the steel and England had the TWEEN
ty dollars. But when he paid TWEEN
ty dollars to an American manufac-
urer, America had both the steel and
the twenty dollars" That was the
sum and substance of the tariff ques-
ton as he viewed it Windsor
Journal.

Like some new Colossus of Roads
He lowered high in air for several days,
And men did homage to his altitude,
And called him President, Dictator.
Head-centre, Lord Param cunt, and Boss;
But when he undertook to straddle DER
The continent of North America
He lacked the necessary length of leg
And down to earth he tumbled with a dull
And sickening thud.
Henceforth as a Colossus, Debs, thou art
Ausgespie1t.
Yet as a toiler in the ranks thou may'st
Be useful in thy sphere.
Earn thy bread and pie by honest labor.

And does prefer to pose before the public,

4 DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

Editor Dana OF the New York Sun,
in an interview, held the democratic
party chiefly responsible for the de-
plorable condition of affairs brought
on by the strike.
The New York Herald holds the
republican party, the Mckinley tariff
and the "ruinous policy of protec-
ton" answerable for all these troub-
les.
Editor Dana is a Hill democrat.
The Herald is-well, rather, independ-
ent (?) in handling public questions.
The weight of public opinion, so
far as it has been revealed here and
there at the polls during the past
year, is emphatically on the Dana
side of this question ofresponsibility.

that sort of folly.

Having been in the meat business one year,

think we can see better way for both our
customers and ourselves. We propose to
SELL FOR CASH,
and in this way cut down loss and expense,
which we shall give our customers the bene-
fit of. There are many ways of losing m oney
in credit business-loss of bad bills-loss of
interest large amounts charged on our
books-loss of a great many goods that go
out without being charged-and many other
ways not known to cash business. For
these reasons we shall on and after

sell for CASH only. Do not ask for
credit. not even for very short time, for
there is only one place to draw the line, and
that is not to charge anything to any one.
