vived- including speculations as to how
it will be determined when the North
Pole is finally or actually reached. for
il has been known for some time that
the North Pole is not the magnetic pole:
and that the needle of compass placed
at the North Pole viii point in a south
west direction. The Philadelphia
Record observes that the drilling of the
Fran with its ten human lives upon
the shores of SpitZbergen may yet lend
some complexion to Nansen'S north
flowing currents; hut his own exper-
fence in the sea of Franz Josef land
has convinced him that in that sea the
wind controls ice movements Such
was the original experience, too. OF the
earliest expedition the Weypreclt-
Payer irto that stretch of desolate
waterS. The ship Teeetthof steamed
north, but was beset in sight of Nova
Zemibla, and drifted with the ice-pack
here and there as the winds blew For
weeks and weeks the bleak shores fad
ed gradually, until at last only wastes
Of Ice formed the ships narrow hori-
zon. Winter was passed on huge foe
by the crew amid the long Aratic night.
With the sun came the bears in great
numbers and dangerously ferocious.
Still the foe drifted first northwest and
then north, then westward, almoSt as
Nansen himself has drifted since.
The drift of the Payer expedition was
the resultant of southwest winds. as
affected by the presence of Franz Josef
land to the north. II was not until
nearly winter again august 30. 1873,
that the rising mist revealed at mid
day the bold and rocky archipelago
which they were destined to add as a
new domain to the known world Pay
er managed to reach Cape Fhgely,
50 degrees minutes north, IS degrees
east, which, according to General Gree
VI. remained, until Nansen's exploit,
the highest land ever attained in the
old world. From a height of 1000
feet it was also seen that the land was
part of an archipelago as extensive as
Spitzbergen. Said General Greedy
only recently: Little doubt exists that
the Franz Josef archipelago extends
westerly through a line of islands, to
which White Island and Wiche Land
belong, to the spitzbergen group
Such is Franz Josef land, toward
which, curiously enough. the eyes OF
the world are turned during this very
week in which falls the sixand-sixtieth
of the birth of the Aus
TRAN emperor who gave ii it's name.

WELL, WE SHOULD SMILE.

A woman writes to a New York pa
per asking it's editor if 1T Is true that
gold has appreciated, and if it is not
true, and he can cite the facts to prove
that 1t is not true, her husband will
stand by the Democratic bolt of gold
bugs. The editor replies in a half
column that the question is a difficult
one 10 answer, as there is no starting
point or other standard than gold it,
self to do the measuring.
1t would be hard TO tell whether the
w0man'S husband were the greater ig-
norMnus or the editor the greater
knave. Everything which has COM
mercial value is a medium of measure
ment Of gold or of anything or every
thing else. Gold has appreciated
whether measured by the yard stick,
by the bushel measure, by the gallon
measure, by the surveyors chain, by
the pound and by the ton, by every
conceivable measure Of quality, Of dis
lance or of value. Measured by dia-
monds or dirt, by meat or wheat, by
calico or silk, by eat or drink, by home
or horse, by grass or grain, by what
ever thing or by whatever standard,
or by all combined, gold has appreciat-
ed, and no one but demagogue or
knave would attempt to deny or cover
the fact up. Even where expert labor
has maintained the standard price, the
number of laborers have been curtailed
fully one-half. Measured by every
mouthfull you eat, by every article Of
clothing or ornament you wear, by
taxes or interest, gold has gone up, or
appreciated two-fold The woman rep
resents herself to be farmers wife.
That being true, for a ready answer
10 her own question let her offer to sen
that farm produces or con-
tains. or the farm itself, and compare
the prices offered at the present stan
d2s'd with those which the same things
commanded in cash ten or fifteen years

In all the talk of finance, of panics,
Of commercial and industrial depres-
sion in the United States, one thing
should not be overlooked, and that is
aside from individual and corporate
debt this country can show more en-
ccliIaging balance-Sheet than any ma
ton in the world. Great Britain owes
a national debt Of between three and
four billions, and other nations in pro-
portion, and not one of them has money
enough in circulation equalling their
national Indebtedness. The United
States has almost enough of gold and
silver alone to cancel her Indebtedness.

ductiol ON his products is simply
idiotic, even to New York audience.
To wish for it is criminal Senator
speaking to the people of the whole
country. 1t is damaging to the last
degree, to the cause he represents, TO
insult so large a class of voters i'm every
state of the Union in order to tickle the
ears of few mill operatives in and
around New York.
