DECEMBER Mcc1uRE's.

Considering the Importance of this work
and the hardships he endured in pursuit Of
it.sthere has been singularly little written
about the young Swedish explorer, Dr.Syen
Hedin. A few months ago he completed a
journey of three years and seven months in
the most inaccessible and least known parts
of Asia. He traversed mountain passes
nearly fifteen thousand feet high, in tenn
perature of nearly forty degrees below zero;
he explored and measured lake nine hun
dred feet; deep be climbed nearly to the top
ofanunexplored mountain twenty-five thou
sand feet high; he trayersed the unexplored
Takla-Makan Desert, and in doing so went
nine days without water, losing all but two
of his companions and coming off himself
with the merest spark of life. Certainly
here is heroic story SCARCELY eqnaled
in the annals. of travel and exploration; ;and
it has gone thus far practically untold. But
Mr. r. H. Sherard has prepared a full ac-
count of DR.. Hedin and his dicoveries and
adventures, based largely on conversations
with him, and it will be published in Nc
Clure's Magazine for December, along with
numerous illustrations from sketches and
photographs made by DR.. Hedin himself
during his journey.

FUNDS mo- BIZ Audited.

FUNDS TO BE AUDITED.
Mr.. Addicks' plan has been to build
up personal party. The money which
he has spent in Delaware politics has
been placed with individuals and not
with party officials. He has thus got
ten the name of being liberal leader
but in future it seems that he will ex-
pect an accounting, the purse strings
not being SO open. This is the author
ity:
Rule 49, For all Endorsements of money
there shall be vouchers filed with the SEQ
retary, who shall draw an order upon the
treasurer for the amount, which order
shall be signed by the chairman and secre-
tary, and the treasurer shall pay out no
funds except upon such order.
TO RULE OR RUIN.
We had thought to comment len
iently upon the acts Of the convention
but being convinced that the intention
of the leaders is to rule or ruin we have
felt greater indignation than we have
shown. We believe the truth put hon.
estly and squarely before the RepubIi-
can masses Of Delaware would bring
condemnation upon the heads of the Un-
ion Republican party. Especially in Kent
county has this sel6shness of rule or
ruin shown itself. Only last week the
TRANSCRIPT copied letter from a
Kent County Democrat upon the little
personal feeling there-and there is
just cause for deep political feeling
there-but it is carried to the extreme,
to the rule or ruin end. In 1888 the
Republican candidates for General AS
sembly In Kent county were elected
but other parts OF the Democratic
ticket In the county we're elected by a
thousand majority. Since that date
the Kent county politicians aided by a
few from Sussex have insisted upon
running the State; they demanded the
Doodle to purchase the elections; they
claimed both the candidates for Cover
nor and the nominee for Congress last
fall-ail or nothing, rule or ruin, is
their motto. We do not believe 1t pos
sible for them ever to rule; they may
defeat Republican victory In this State
for time until the masses realize the
selfshness Of their leaders, but how
long?
