THE NORTH CAROLINA SITUATION.

The political situation in North Carolina, as
described by Representative Settle in an inter-
view with our Washington correspondent, Is one
thot will naturally attract considerable atten-
tion II appears that a number OF men VINO
have heretofore occupied positions Of some prom
Incnce and influence in the Republican party in
that State have actually accepted the doctrines OF
the Populist party and openly allied themselves
with it-at least 10 the extent Of declaring in
favor Of the free. unlimited and independent
coinarc Of silver by the United States-and that
others are coquctting with 1t in the hope OF pro-
noting and furthcring their own personal ambi-
tons. 1t seems to us that 1t would be the part
of wisdom for these men TO stop and consider,
and rctrace their steps. The cooperation of Re
pubcans and POpulsts last year In order TO
carry out some necessary and vital reforms In
the election laws and certain other obnoxious
and undemocratic laws enacted by the Demo
cratic party in North Carolina was wise; 1t was
cordially approved and heartily encouraged by
Republicans throughout the country, and they
reioiccd over It's success. But that alliance was
for n specific legitimate object which has been
ACCOMPLISHED The advocates and supporters or
electoral and other reforms were victorious.
1t is now proposed by certain leaders-or
would-be leaders. as we understand Ito join
hands with the Populists and with fraction
of the Democrats in favor OF free and unlimited
silver coinage and also 10 engage In a dicker
with the POpulists TO nominate fusion electoral
ticket. If the Republican party Of North Carolina
does either Of these things 1t will. in our tudg-
mcnt make a mistake from the effects OF which
II will not recover for years 10 come. 1t Will
ALLEVIATE the masses Of the great Republican
party throughout the country, and Its delegates
will find themselves at odds with an overwhelm-
ing majority Of their associates in the next Re
publican National Convention. The Republican
party in North Carolina is vigorous and robust
party and yet IT cannot afford to place itself
in such an attitude 1t may well afford TO CO.
operate with the friends Of good government
whether they call themselves POpullsts or Dem
ocrats in order to carry out such further reforms
as may be- needful in that State, but beyond that
it cannot 20 without disaster TO itself.

THE TdLT-E OF POLAR RESEARCH.

Empty foolhardiness is the comment made
by many intelligent persons upon polar explOra-
ton. They regard al such ventures as idle ex-
pendture of treasure, If not of limb and life.
They are and must be- in their view prohtess
to the world. their only object the qualification
Of mere curiosity, or success in competition
as worthless as it is perilous. The return OF
Lieutenant Peary and his comrades will confirm
them in their view. Those explorers have come
back alive but with health perhaps impaired and
comparatively meagre rewards for their years

many homily the useessness, the folly,
and even the criminality of such adventures.
No good but much evil. men will say. has ever
come of them, and they should forthwith be
abolished and prohibited
Such criticisms seem TO lis not well advised.
II Is entirely true that much treasure and some
lives have been lost in polar exploration The
same may be said Of almost every other under
taking Of Importance But even that feature Of
the case is much exaggerated The vast ma
jority Of polar explorers have returned home

edge Of those regions and the mechanical equip

need for any exceptional danger or loss OF life,
or even for any unusual discomfort. III polar

SOME LOGIC.

According 10 Mr. Perry Belmont. first official
mouthpiccc Of the Syracuse Convention, great
and good is the Democracy Of New-York What
ever the party nj large may have done, In this
State il has done we'll Especially has II been
the champion Of honest money. National finances
being entirely beyond State control, it could do
so without embarrassment SO he cites-and
miscitcs-a long list Of cases In which the New
York Democracy has served the tail-holder
Of the Nation, or Of the National Democracy to
keep IT II possible from plungng into ruin. No
matter If the National Democracy was against
resumption Of specie payments, and In favor Of
greenback imitation. and in favor Of free and
unlimited coinage of jO-cent silver dollars. The
New-York Democracy was sound on all these
matters Wherefore, vote for the candidates OF
Hill and Tammany Hall.
Then this infallible logician proceeds, in his
peroration. to declare that government by party
is the safeguard OF all our liberties; that the
essential quality OF such government Is that the
majority shall rule and that therefore National
party conventions shall rule in all National af-
fairs. The New-York Democracy, then, ought
TO have obey ed the rule Of the National Dsmoc-
racy, and have gone in for the very things it has
been opposing. and have opposed the very things
II has supported And Mr.. Belmont praises 1t
for doing what. by his own showing. 1t ought
not to have done, and for not doing what. on tho
same basis il ought to have done In the words
of the permanent chairman OF the Syracuse Con-
ventOn, Rats.

Az EXCISE SHUTTLE.

After long and agoniZng delibcration over
the excise plank the towards Of the Syracuse
Convention prevailed. and before the conycn-
ton adjourned all the delegates seemed to be
towards. for the platform was unanimously
adopted with special manifestations OF approval
for the excise deliverance. IL Is just such
plank as such convention not only might nave
been but actually was expected to faDrlcate
II Is expressly designed to all things to all
men. Throughout the campaign II will be hilari-
orsy appealed to in Democratic cities as posi-
tive proof Of special sympathy on the part OF
the Democratic party with the liquor frame ana
a go-as-you-p please Sunday. In the rural districts
IL will be taken as text for politicians sermons
on the sanctity of the day Of rest and religious
observance Those who arc eager to be fooled
will be- but nobody else The Democratic dec
laraton on the excise question Is in language
vague complicated and inconsistent with itself.
In substance it conveys to the disorderly classes
and the advocates of peculiar privileges for the
saloons an assurance which will answer their
purpose. though they would have liked it stated
In more specific terms.
1t is the same old Democratic game OF by
pocrisy and doubledeallng. The big leaders
from the cities did not dare TO run The risk OF
being frank, and so achieving certain kind
and measure Of responsibility; the little leaders
from the country were equally tmorous on the
other side Of the question, and the result is
trick Of which, W. believe, a host OF Democratic
voters will be ashamed 1t is not good year
for cowardice There never was good year
for cowarlce, and there never will be.

The fatal accident at the Little Silver crossing OF
the Long Branch Railroad on Tuesday Is not the
hrst occurrence Of the kind at that point Several
years ago a carriage struck there by train
running at high speed and three or four persons
were killed, whereupon there was loud demand
for the better protection Of persons driving and
walking at that crossing and many others. Little
has come however from the agitation OF the
question Of abolishing grade crossings In most OF
our States. though there has been some gain In
inducing railroad companies to put up gates or
post watchmen at the most dangerous places. The
work of doing away with grade crossings ought
to be put under way without much further de-

The state Democracy men left Syracuse IN a
disguised and angry frame Of mind and win
the sworn purpose Of making 1t hot for Tam
many Hall before the campaign is over. Their
Indignation is thoroughly justified. They were
invited TO go TO the convention, and then were
tricked and treated with contempt. The terms
on which they were to be admitted to the con
vention were such that selfrespecting men could
not submit to them. Tammany won victory
but one that will cost 1t dear. The State Demo-
Gratis are determined to do their best to defeat
the Tammany local ticket, and naturally will
feel like joining with other organizations In

whelming Through wise counsels and co-opera-
