ject at present IS receiving editorial attention than politics itself Up this time opinion IS divided as to the guilty party. Some blame the War De- partment, the medical staff and some General Shafter It IS clearly that demands inyestl- gation in order that the innocent may not suffer along with the guilty.
 In the face of the popular demand for searching inquiry into the is not likely that Congress will delay in appointing investigating committee as soon as it assemblies. In the meantime popular judgment against any set of men should be withheld, Eastern papers which now attempting to tasten the blame upon some particular person be- fore an impartial investigation has been made are pursuing methods more sensational than just. Some of them indeed bitter in their attacks upon the Secretary of War to lead to the conclusion that they are more eager to make campaign capital against the administration than find out the truth
 It is indeed regrettable that the record of the glorious n every other respect has been stained by this blot. The evil has come, however and the best thing do now is to find out the cause of it so to be able to guard against similar occurrences in such may happen in the future For that son investigation is imperative Congress must fix the responsibility or share it.

Information that Tom Garrett. late city editor of the Examiner, has be- come a reporter for a Los Angeles pa- per noted for the lack of size in the salaries it pays is a surprise Time was when Garrett was potent. He was close to the Hearst throne, and had ac- cess to the royal ear. To his own trembling force of reporters he would give orders as final as those of She" the lady of fiction, who just had to be obeyed- Garrett was known to enter tain pleasing visions of the day he was to succeed Lawrence, and make hiS first official act that of kicking his enemy into the street. As a prelimi- nary move he resigned, expecting to be called back, but the summons failed to arrive. I do not state these facts in any spirit of disregard for MT. Gar rett, and I would have been glad to nave witnessed his triumph If a jour nalist working under Andy has not the right to look forward to the possibil- ity of achieving freedom, the restric- tion should be at once removed. After all, the change will do Garrett good. He will realize that there is no profit In holding club over the heads of subordinates. that an order given in a gentlemanly way Is apt to be effective. ana that the wisdom of making enc mics where friends might as easily be made mas never been demonstrated

"CHAsING THE NoKrIR POLE"


u'he Hartford Telegraph. after mature
reflection, has come TO the conclusion
that cit i5 difficult to he.ieve that the
elusive old icicle, the North Pole, can
much longer escape the irrepressiblc in
gcnulty and indomtable determination
OF the men who make money by telling
how they didn't reach IT, and of other
men who hope TO make money by tell
ing how they did" No one prctends to
charge that the distinguished gentle
men, who, from time 10 time. have tried
to reach the Pole made the venture
solely for financial gain, whether the
object OF their search was attained or
not. hut It IS Il fact that u majority of
those who have returned from such eN-
petitions have greatly prottcd from
having undertaken the search. 1T is
true that some OF them have grown rich
by relating to the public accounts OF
their tribe while others, in one way or
another, have been comfortably provid-
ed, for. but it would be unfair to say
that money has been the only thing
which has prompted so many men to
attemp; to penetrate the frozen world
that they might find the Pole which
they believed was Just beyond. Science
and research has opened up many other
thought to be imposs!hiiitics. and the

Battles Corner Tenant Agrees to Va
cate For Mr.. Tucker.
The people of Raleigh will rejoice to
hear that Mr.. w. r. Tucker has at last
succeeded in making such terms with
the lessee of the drug store on Battles
corner as will enable him to get pos
session of the building at once, tear it
down and begin the erection of what
will be the handsomest office building
in the city.
Mr.. Tucker has been most liberal to
the present tenants of the building, and
now that he has possession of it, he will
begin work preparatory to erecting the
new structure ut the earliest possible
date.
His plans in regard to the new build
ing are not yet complete, but it will
probably be four stories high, with base
mellt and will cost between So, 1000 and
$4,000. The first floor will be hand
some stores. The other floors will be
offices.
The corner store, when the building
is completed, will be drug store. The
store adjoining. on Fayetteville street
will be occupied by Cross and Linelan.
The stock Of drugs now III the store
on Battles corner, will be moved into
the wooden building now occupied by
j. NJ Broughton x Co, on Martin
street This will be done within the
next few days.
This deal means much for Raleigh III
every way. and is in line with the other
improvements being made i'll the city.
