Troops for KIondike.

Il seems to have been decided by the
Government to send small expedition
to look after things up the Klondike With
commendsbIe zeal, the Canadian authori-
ties have arranged to forward re-enforce-

police la the region, and there is no reason
why the United States should not take
Complementary action. Without stopping
at this tine to discuss the question of
boundary lines, IT is safe to say that
they are apt to vary more when only
British forces are present than when
the troops OF another and strong nation
also are near the ground, be it in previous

Who have done it, From the vale
On they come! and will We quail?
Leaden rain and iron han
Let their welcome be!

expedition reached the highest point north
ever attained, discredits the conjecture
that Andree's balloon was seen floating in
the White Sea by the captain of the Dutch
steamer Dordrecht, as was reported IN a
dispatch today from Amsterdam. He says
that Andree could scarcely have reached
the point described by the captain In six
days, he having left Danes Island in his
balloon On July II.
Other persons who are acquainted with
the poiai seas are OF the opinion that the
object seen was the sails OF a wreck or
that it was an experimental seIf-steering
balloon, many of which have been recently
liberated.

what was supposed to have been Andree's
balloon had been seen adTift in the White

The Andrews Incident.

The London Chronicle sometimes is able
to rise above the plane Of monlentary Lom-
bard street Interests and see economic
dangers in the enslavement OF once great
and free people by ring OF monoPoists.
Among other things connected with Ameri-
can national evolution at this time the
Chronicle fears the effect Of such move
ments as the current attempt to suppress
free speech among the educators OF the
United States In an editorial article yes
terday Ii observed that the dismissal OF
Prof E benjamin Andrews from the presi-
dency OF Brown University could only be
regarded al "the most serious blow tho
capitalist oligarchy has yet struck at
sOcial, economic and intellectual liberty in
America" II adds:
There is no doubt that. like Prof. Bemis.
who was dismissed from the University
OF Chicago, Prof Andrews was dismissed
because he warned his cOuntTymen against
the growth or great mouopolies.
1t seems certain that conflict is APP
preaching that will shake the Union as
&c was Sh AIKEN by the great slavery ques-
aon. It looks as though the Splendid
millionaire endowments of American uni
veTslrles had the unworthy motive OF the
promotion Of the interests Of the monopo-
lists. We anticipate @ great wave OF
opinion against the pre- ten sions or the
monopolist class as dangerous TO freedom
This movement VIII lead TO the suhsti-
tuition OF public for private control and
ownership OF the big trusts and nonopo-
lies, and the Substitution OF State for
private colleges and universities.
