THE MYSTERY of TT.

All told great many valuable lives
and no inconsiderable amount of money
have been lost in trying to reach the
North Pole. The first attempt was
back as long as 1903. when one Stephen
Bennett set sail in a vessel called the
Godspeed. Bennett. however was more
bent on obtaining furs than geograph-
ical information, and as a matter of
fact he didn't obtain much OF either.
-Four years later Henry Hudson was
sent out by the Muscovy company to
pentrate to the North Pole. but he was
stopped near Spitzbergen by the ice.
Other expeditions followed. command
ed by James Poole. in 1910. 1911 and
1912. and one by Baffin in 1913. They
added nothing 10 the previous knowl-
edge of the Polar regions. But in the
expedition of Fotherby and Bafin up
Davis strait in the following year, the
latter discovered a northern outlet to
the bay called by his own name, which
was denominated Smiths sound. Foth-
erby was sent out again in 1916. and
attempted 10 pass through the sea
which lies between Greenland and
Spitzbergen, but was again baffied and
compelled to return, after correcting
some erroneous observations Of Hud-

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20. 1896.
NEYT MONDAY.

One OF this mornings Washington
dispatches says that Mr.. Carter has
offered a resolution to recommit the
tariff bill and that he will discuss the
proposition next Monday.
Two points which Mr. Carter can
make clear in ten-minute talk are all
that the situation calls for-as far as
party relations are concerned. During
the extra session of congress. in 1898,
just before the test vote was reached,
Senator Teller reminded the senate re-
publicans on many occasions the West
had sustained republican tariff meas
ures even when to do this was to the
real disadvantage of western constitu-
encies. Party fealty had prompted
republican members of congress to this
course. But Mr.. Teller reminded his
republican associates in the senate that
their policy was grossly unjust TO the
western states; his prediction was that
when again the republican party
party pressed its plea for protection
the West would be slow to respond
That is the first point that might be
timely for Mr.. Carriers use next Mon
day. The second point is this: The
tariff proposition now before congress
is the merest bit of patchwork. 1t is
not a comprehensive scheme for tariff
revision. II raises duties on a few in
dustries which will have money power
in the next election and which, there
fore. are able to compel the attention
Of the republican majority in congress
The few articles in which the West has
direct tariff concern are ignored in the
revision which is before congress; there
are no interests out this way which the
republican managers think IT worth
while to consult.
That is TO say. a republican congress
fights silver and, forthwith. II de-
mands that the silver republicans shall
fall in and vote more protection for
few selected eastern operators We
trust that Mr.. Carter. in his speech OF
next Monday. will make it clear that
the West does not propose to be made
the tail end of republicanism for any
such uses.

HE FIRMLY DECLINES.

Even In their desperation. 1t was folly
on the part of the Kentucky democrats
to appeal to Carlisle. For that
matter, as far as the support
ers of Blackburn are concerned, 1t
was worse than folly; their request to
Carlisle to save them evinced a lack OF
ordinary self respect.
Weeks before the state election OF
last year. Mr.. Carlisle and. in fact, all
the forces of the Cleveland administra-
ton resolved that, rather than free
coinage victory for democracy. Ken
lucky should be turned over to the re-
publicans. Mr.. Carlisle himself, when
the fight was hottest. went to Ken
lucky, manipulated the situation and
put his friends in line. with the result
that Kentucky went republican.
1t is preposterous to assume, after the
treatment they have received at the
hands of the administration, that the
silver democrats, at this twelfth hour,
would turn in and try to elect an ad-
ministration goldbug. 1t is likewise
ridiculous to suppose that Secretary
Carlisle would lift finger toward victo-
~ for a silver democrat. Mr. Carlisle is a
willing and obedient wrecker of every
thing democratic that is not at Mr.
Cleveland's beck and call. Unques-
tionably, the secretary would look upon
the election of a republican as per-
sonal triumph for himself and as the
full fruit of the victory toward which
he contributed all his influence and his
energy last year.
The Blackburn people received from
Carlisle the answer which they had
right to expect. lie says he will have
no part in the pending quarrel, but that
he will take a hand when Kentucky
democracy is ready to maintain sound
democratic principles and policies"
That is to say. Mr.. Carlisle's message
Isl when you people make up your
minds that you have been whipped and
ought to get out of my way, 1 will I'M
dertake to bring you into line for the
support OF the kind of democrat 1 am
and the kind Cleveland wants."
Mr.. Carlisle's answer to Kentucky
democracy is arrogant and impudent.
but il is the answer which the Black
burn democrats had ample reason to
anticipate. The fact that they were
willing to humiliate themselves to the
point of appealing to him puts them in
dsrepute.

VICKSBURG NATIONAL PARK

The establishment of national mill
tary parks, designed to commemorate
the great events of the civil war, is
growing in favor. The present con-
gress intends to appropriate money for
such a park at Vicksburg. The project
commends itself. The Vicksburg cam
paign was a momentous one. not only
in relation to its immediate results, but
in respect of its influence on the sub
sequent history of the war. 1t deter
mined who should command the union
armies. 1t is proposed to buy 1900
acres of land at a cost not to exceed
$4,000 These 1900 acres are in the SUI
an average of only $40 an acre. The
Washington Post is authority for the
statement that there has been no buy
ing up of this land by Spectators with
a view of selling to the government at
a profit. since all the buildings in the
tract are in the hands of the same per-
sons who held them before the park
scheme was preached.
The project is the outgrowth of a
movement started by the veterans of
the union and confederate armies. The
land is said TO he ample for the uses
proposed. and the Vicksburg park. like
that OF Chickamauga and Chattanooga,
will grow i'm attraotiveness TO the peo-
pie OF the United States with each
succeeding generation. To the old vet
Grams who are familiar with the famous
battlefield IL may be of interest to
know that the bill provides that the
main body of the park shall comprise
a tract Of land about three miles long
by not to exceed one-half mile in
width. extending from the stockade
fort on the north to Fort Garrett. or
the square fort. on the south, with two
wings. each 264 feet wide. extending
from the north end of the main body

SEWERS CONTAIN VALUAsLEs

Jewelry. watches. money. small pieces

The practical working of the endless

ury in New York the other day. A
member of a bullion brokerage firm at
tempted to distribute to customers in
the corridors of the sub-treasury $780,

in a short time $S05,000 of the gold,
which had been taken from one window
in exchange for greenbacks. was re-
ceived at another in exchange for
bonds. The practical effect of these op-
erations was that the government was
disposing of it's bonds for greenbacks.
When Assistant Treasurer Jordan dis
covered what was being done he be-
came very indignant. declared that the
sub-treasury should not be used as a
brokers' office. and compelled the brok-
er to take the rest of his gold from the
building. Mr.. Jordan could, however.
do nothing more than compel the brok-
err to pay for carting the gold to and
from the sub-treasury. The taking of
gold from the treasury and disposing
of 1t to bond buyers could not be
stopped.
