RACE For A STONE.

Arctic exploraiiun is beginning TO show
a humorous aspect, when two OF it's devo-
tees. stimulated By the spirit OF competi-
tion, are going 10 journey to a oeItaih
point In tie regions Of the north from op-
posite directions, in order TO get lold OF
meieorite. The explorers are Lieut.. Peary
and a gentleman named Lewis DycLe.
The former proposes TO start from the east
and go by way Of Greenland; the latter
is going by way of Alaska. Peary dis
covered the meteCrite, and says 1t Is LIS
property by right OF presumption. Dyche
declares that it's nothing but stone, ana
belongs 10 the fellow that gets il. So IT is
a case OF first coIne, first served and
the public will watch the antics OF these
two men with sort of laDguid interest,
which will concern itself less with the ob-
ject of their search than with their conduct.
if they should happen to meet at the stone.
Seriously speaking, such a performance
as this draws the whole subject of arctic
exploration into the realm of absurdity.
AT tue very best, the results to be OBJ
tanned 10y North Pole expeditions are of
TOO speculative Il character 10 make them
valuable save TO a very limited field OF
scientific investigation OF more or less
vague geographical theories. Even in
this line OF research too many valuable
lives have already been lost, to say moth
ing of the money, for which but little
value has been received. But these expe-
ditions have at least had the merit that
they Were aimed at the explanation of
certain natural phenomena. Neither Peary
nor Dyche can claim any such motive.
Even through the aeroiite which they are
after be of unusual size, its commercial
value is none and its scientific value prob
ably quite limited.
At any rate, it is the baldest nonsense
for these two men TO 90 chasing about
i'll The polar regions after a big stone,
each animated by the desperate purpose
to get there first. suppose both get there
first. What Will 1t be? Pistols and coffee,
or ice hooks and blubber?

Initment OF the Democratic party to free

largely an expression of antagonism to

the issue. They believe that is the only
possibility of victory. They won the cam
paign OF 1892 under the banner of low
