scholar, What scientific facts may re.

known until DR.. Nansen's arrival. 1t is
not easy to conceive that they will be
very important Some things may be
settled which are nov more matter of
conjecture than scientific fact. The diff
Guilty Of reaching the Pole will make such
observations as DR.. Nausen has made the
basis Of what may be determined by his
discovery. E.
At present all of value n the discovery
is that a very difficult feat has been ac-

ONE Of the greatest political humbugs
which ever had being IN this state is
wha' Is known as the roster scandal. 1t
played an important part in the defeat
of the democratic administration in 1894,
There IS uow q movement % induce Gov,
Upham to have this roster published. It
was prepared for that purpose at great
expense. Upham will hardly Weld to
these solicitations at once, Such action
would at once show the character of the
campaign of 1894. The roster will soon
be printed, though. All that is needed
is the lapse Of a little time to wear off
the edge of recollection.

The \. 7. i. IS furnishing indisputable
evidence OF decay. All that was necessary
to secure its demise was to let it severely
alone. Such an organization has no
place in free ana intelligent republic.
Many people Joined the order from a mis-
taken notion Of its principles. When It's
prascriptlve feature was revealed they
quit it. While there Is nothing which
justities the existence Of such an order It
must not he forgotten that certain Off

Of unwise opinion are not calculated to
quiet intolerance. Religion is a good
