Another Arctic Expedition.

There are already three, If not more,
exploring parties within the Arctic cir
Gle, and In 4 few days another expedi-
ton is to start for the frozen zone. Lieu
tenant Peary is making his way over the
Greenland ice-cap; Nansen is supposed
TO be drifting with a current towards
the pole q Danish geographical party
is at work on the west coast of Green
land, and the new expedition proposes to
attack the secret beyond the 'farthest
point by a dash from the northwest
extremity OF Spitzbergen.
This last-named venture has been or
ganized by Mr.. Walter Wellman, news
paper correspondent, and in the party
will be three other Americans-Professo
Frenon, of the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey; DR.. Mohun. a physician
OF Washington, and Mr.. Charles Z. Dodge,
Of the Navy Department. Ten Norwe-
gians will join these in Norway.
The explorers viii proceed 70 their base
Of operations in Spitzbergen in a stout
steamer. and then push forward in light
boats ana sledges built of aluminium.
After journey Of about twenty-five days
the party will be divided into an adj
vance and a relief party, and the former
will continue northward for sixty or
seventy days, making. it Is expected. an
average OF ten miles per day. The or
ganizers Of the expedition express great
confidence that the pole will be reached.
and that the entire band OF explorers
will return to this country safe and
sound by November.
The undertaking is certainly most
daring one. but the success that mas
attended the small-party system OF Arctic
exploration, and the fact that the Yea
ture meets with the approval of some
OF the best posted students of Arctic con-
ditions would seem TO point to It's
feasibility.

Democratic Shilly.Shallying.
ne Hartford Courant says:

The Hartford Courant says:
'srhose shilly-shally tariffreformers at
Washington make Colonel Watterson
tired. He says that because OF them
universal disappointment has taken pos
session Of the Democratic mind and par
alyzed the Democratic heart"
In the Chicago Convention OF 1892 was
Mr.. Henry Watterson. The platform re-
ported to that body by the proper COM
mittee provided for an utterance on the
tariff question exactly in line with the
utterances OF previous Democratic Ma
tional nventions-to-wit. an utter
ance in favor OF discriminating
tariff-but the wild western prairie
boys repudiated the leadership or
the experienced and trustworthy gentle
men who reported the platform, and
led by Neal. of Ohio. Watterson standing
I'm fun view, substituted an utterance
which is indefensible-namely, that Con-
eress has no constitutional power to levy
customs-duties for any other than revenue
purposes only.
III that substitution had not been mauc
not much of the tariff talk which has been
heard In the two houses of Congress uur-
ing the present session would have peeh
called for or furnished without haVhs
been called for. IL is TO be recoiiecteo'
too that the tariff resolution when MI
Watterson and his marplot associates
crammed into the Democratic creed was
substituted for u resolution when MT
Cleveland himself is said to nave APP
proyed-nay, prepared or revised at nome
and telegraphed to Chicago.
The "shiily-shaily tariff-rsformers' may
therefore. be set down as those Demo-
Gratis who train with Mr.. Watterson.

Richmond's Primary Election.

The prospects are that more votes will
be polled at the approaching Democratic
primary in this city than were ever polled
at any primary here.
Our party In this city is in splendid con-
dition. There is no schism: no division.
And we believe that every member is per-
fectly willing to abide by the results Of
the primary, but one and all expect the
City Democratic Committee TO adopt such
rules and regulations as will ensure the
most accurate election that we have ever
had.
The Dispatch has over and over again
pointed out some OF the faults of the old
primary plan. and these faults we trust
the City Committee will correct
Foremost in the list of changes needed
is that Judges and counters enough be pro-
vlded for the large white precincts TO do
the counting and canvasslng OF the tickets
promptly and precisely. 1t won't do to
have some precinct returns coming in ten
or twelve hours after most other returns
have been received. 1t won't do TO i'm
pose upon any set of Judges continuous
work for twenty or thirty hours. 1t is
not TO be expected that reading or tally
ing done by men put under such strain
will be well done.
The City Committee will now soon meet.

standing committee the duty OF prepar-

which will enable the Judges returns OF

committcc-room on the night of the pri-
mary as nearly simultaneously as pos

party against the old plan. which has put
us In Jeopardy more than once.
