STILL NEARER TO THE POLE

Another chapter is added to the fascinating
romance of Arctic adventure. brief but worthy
After four centuries the Southern Latins have
re-entered the great competition to reach the
Pole. We might, indeed, say the Latins with
out qualification, for NJ Ribots expedition to
Jan Mayen and Spitzbergen was not an attempt
10 get nearer to the Pole nor even to make any
great discoveries in the unknown Northern
wilderness. And that was the only expedition
from Latin country that crossed the Arctic
Circle between the time of Corte Real in 1900
and that of the Duke Of the Abruzzi in 1900
Those four hundred years comprise the whole
story Of Arctic adventure 1t is a story of the
enterprise and vaor and endurance and achievc-
ments of the great Northern races-Anglo-
Saxon, Dane, German, Norwegian Swede.
Dutch and Slav. But its first chapter was
written and it's first record made by a Latin.
Gaspar Corte Real, of Portugal, who discovered
Hudson Strait and sailed into the white Sahara
beyond, never to be seen again; and it's latest
chapter is written and its latest record made
by another Latin. this Prince from the land of
Columbus and Marco Polo. who has carried
the Italian flag a long march nearer the Pole
than Nansen carried the red flag Of Norway.
1t would transcend the limits Of this article
merely to enumerate the various Arctic expe-
ditions Of these four centuries. The mind
readily recalls the venture of Willoughby and
Chancellor in the White Sea in 1853 and of
John Davis, Of Dartmouth, IN 1885, who gave
ms name TO the strait which still bears it, The
next century, IL 1914 saw Fotherbv. with
Ba1in for his pilot set the record at so north
latitude, and Bafin himself going on, two years
later, to Lancaster Sound. Behring made a
great mark on the map in 1928, in finding the
strait which bears his name. A long and tragic
chapter was opened in 1743 when the British
Parliament offered 10000 for the discovery of
the Northwest Passage. In our own century
Scoresby advanced the record in 1900 by reach
lhg 81 80 Twenty-one years later Parry. in
Gash Tor the Pole like that just made by the
Duke or the AbruZzi, reached 80 As. a record
which for more than fifty years remained nm
surpassed and equalled only once. A few vears
later Ross located the true Magnetic Pole And
lneh. IN 1e4o' Sir John Franklin sailed with
the Erebus and the Terror to seek The North
west Passage and to win the prize offered a
century before. He was never seen again but
full score Of relief and search exna1itiono
followed him 10 find him or to ascertain bis
fate. and thus added much to the worId,s
knowledge Of the Arctic realm

having only seen but not reached Peterman
Land at So. Another epoch marking achleve-
ment was Nordenskiold's traversement OF the
Northeast Passage in 1s7S'79, and close after 1t
came the great international circle or oDserVa-
tion stations around the Pole in 1SS1-Sa. IN
this latter work the United States carried OH
the honors members of Greely's party reaching
a latitude of So "a. few miles beyond the
point attained by Mares Peary in Greenland
in 1892 reached no higher than So, and the
Greedy expeditions record remained unbroken
until Nansen, in his amazing voyage in 1885,
reached So IA. That in turn has now been
surpassed by the Duke of the Abruzzi at Sc 33,
or nineteen geographical miles nearer the Pole
than the great Norseman's "farthest North.
In a few weeks we may hope to hear from
Peary. and shall then know whether the honors
of the closing century rest with America or
with the land whose son discovered America.
Apart from the two facts of it's having
passed Nansens record and OF its having been
led by Latins, the Abruzzi expedition presents
no features of novel or of scientific interest. 1t
was not, strictly speaking, scientific expe-
dition such as those of Nansen and Peary. 1t
aimed at no exploring or observation work.
1t was purely and dmply q dash for the Pole,
precisely like that of Parry in 1927, and con-
Quoted in precisely the same manner, to wit
gong as lar uoEtu as pOSsIDle Oh
board and then pushing straight on with boat
and sledge. There is, however one feature of
it, and of others, worthy of notice and OF praise
We have no proof, and can have none save the
word of the leader, that so high latitude was
actually reached. and yet no one thinks of
doubling it. In the nature Of the case, no
monument could be set up anything be done
to prove to succeeding expeditions that the
point reported was actually reached, and prob
ably not more than one or two members Of the
expedition had any means Of knowing to within
many degrees how far north they were. But
the word Of the one or two is accepted unhesi-
tatingly by all the world, doubtless it de-
serves to be. That fact is a fine tribute to the
integrity and mutual confidence of explorers, as
creditabe to them as the resolution, the en-
durance, the indomitable pluck and the exalted
manhood which have splendidly illuminated
the story Of four centuries of Arctic research

LMPERIALISTIC TRAHELLING.

One Of the funniest things in this Presiden-
| tial campaign is the wild outburst OF waliing
and gnashing of teeth because Colonel Bryan
was not permitted to hitch his private palace
car to a certain limited train on West Vir-
ginia railroad but had to leave that select and
exclusive vehicle and travel in an ordinary
Pullman coach. tremendous ado was In
stantIy raised about 1t by his jealous press
agents, and 1t was made to appear that the
episode was another act In the narrowing
tragedy of "crucifying the people upon cross
of gold" For, of course, II was the work of a
Republican trust 1t was probably directly
ordered by Mark Hanna himself. 1t was so to
speak, one of the tentacles Of a monopollstic
octopus that seized the private in its hldeous
grasp, switched it upon a sidetrack aud COM
PEELED the champion of the people to ride Gin an
ordinary car"
Now the fun Of the thing is twofold. In the
first place, 1t turns out that the railroad in
question is what may be called Democratic
road. 1t is chiefly owned and managed, that is
to say by stanch and loyal Democrats who, 1t
is to be assumed, will vote for the man whose
private car they so unfeelngly sidetracked. In
view Of that fact the Republican octopus seems
10 be-with apologies to Boyle ROche-a horse
of another color. 1t really will not do, you
know, to assume that every trust is a Repub-
Ican institution; else where would Brother
Bob's Ice Trust be? And II Democratic railroad
gnates see ft for business any other
reasons, to deny a favor to their own candidate
for the Presidency, why, men and brethren, it
certainly does not seem in accord with the
eternal verites to throw the blame for 1t upon
Mark Hanna or upon the Presidents Philippine
policy.
But the other part Of the fun is perhaps bet
ter still. For mark you, the burden of the
complaint is that Mr.. Bryan was compelled, if
he wanted to travel on that Democratic rail-
road, to do so in an ordinary car. This horny
handed son of toll this plain man of the
people, this advocate of Jeffersonian simplicity
this infexible foe of fuss and 1ummery, was
actually compelled 10 emerge from the
Questered recesses of Il private coach and to
ride in a plain, everyday car along with other
people. How utterly revolving! If 1t had been
Mark Hanna now, or that wicked and naughty
imperialist William Mckinley. it would have
been all right. Their feelings would not have
been Jared in the slightest. But that this un-
assuming Democrat this combined reincarna-
ton Of Cincinnatus, Thomas Jefferson and
Solon Chase, should be compelled to jostIe
elbows with his fellow citizens and ride 'in an
ordinary car" with other people-at thought Of
that the mind recoils and the heart sickens.
New-York tribune., 1900-09-09
PARTY AND POCKET BEFORE PUBLIC


The characteristic Tammany spirit manifests
itself even under the most earnest attempts to
disguise 1t with mask of devotion to the public
good. Mr. Croker is never more certainly the
partisan, subordnating all public welfare to
party or personal ends and working for his
own pocket all the time" than when he under
takes to rebuke an opponent for what he al
leges to be similar msdeeds.
He went for the Controller the other day,
hammer and tongs, for 'commercialism in poll
tics" declaring that Mr.. Coler was interested
in various corporations that were doing busl-
ness with the city, and was making much
money out of such connections He told US
how he had demonstrated with him for it, and
had pointed out to him the error of his ways
and had tried to get him to sever his connec-
ton with such corporations.
And then he told us why. It was not be-
cause it was Illegal oh, no. that was not the
consideration that moved Mir. Croker to re-
buke Mr.. Coler. It was not that it was in
compatible with his public duties, nor that it
was setting a bad example. Certainly not
None of these things moved the ruler of Tam
many Hall and, incidentally, of the city of
New-York No, but the reason why he advised
Mr.. Coler to get out of those corporations was
that at might cause trouble for the organiza-
tion''
That was all. The welfare Of the organiza-
tion-to wit Tammany Hall-was the supreme
law. Whatever would promote the prosperity
of the organization was lawful and praise
worthy. Whatever might impair its power
and bring reproach upon it was pernicious and
was to be condemned The organization, that
is the thing; and Mr.. Croker is the organiza
ton. What might cause trouble for it-that is,
for him-meets with his most austere disap-
proval. Everything that increases its pros
perity, and therefore makes for the good Of his
personal pocket "goes, every time" Truly
that is an exalted and enlightened conception
Of civic principles, well worthy of the man
who would make himself the political guide
philosopher and friend Of young men!
