SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
Man Who Lost His Life in Efforts to
Find Northwest Passage.

Sir John Franklin, although not the
first of our Arctic explorers, may fairly
be described as having opened for this
century the chapter of systematic Arc
tic exploration. Franklin had rem
dered varied and brilliant service to his
country as a seaman before he had any
thought of setting out to discover the
Northwest passage. When still a mere
youth he had fought in the battle of
Trafalgar, and some ten years later on
he bore gallant part in the attack on
New Orleans From that time Frank
lin may be said to have given himself
up altogether to Arctic exploration, es-
pecially with a view to the discovery
of the Northwest passage. That dis
covery will always be identified with
his name. No chapter in modern his
tory is more touching more mysterious,
more full of awe. than that which tells
of Franklin's absolute disappearance
from the eyes of the civilized world.
Many of us can still we'll remember the
untiring efforts made by Franklin's de-
voted wife for the recovery Of himself
and his comrades. how she refused to
admit that efforts for his rescue were
futile. how she hoped against hope, and
persevered to the last. The writer OF
this article had the honor OF meeting
her, and of knowing well some of the
gallant explorers, DIR. Rae especially.
who went out time after time to the
frozen regions even when they had no
better hope to inspire them than the
hope of finding Franklin's remains. All
that could be accomplished was accom-
plished in the end. and the world came
to know how and where Franklin and
his comrades had persisted. The Arc
tic explorer has become one Of the he
roes Of civilization. and is often. as in
Franklin's case. enc OF its martyrs

Centuries ago, when the individual
found that his business was growing
too large for him to handle, he took a
partner. They formed trust in a
small degree. Fifty years ago, the
partnership form of business began to
give way to the small corporation, as
business men found that corporation
afforded better facilities and protection
to their business. More recently cor
porations grew IN size until we have
experienced the very large corpora
tions called trusts. In nearly every
case these are neither more nor less
than partnerships, the only difference
being in extent and degree. The in
crease in the worlds volume of bust
ness has compelled the growth from
the original partnerships to large cor
porations.

PAPERS, PUBLIC AND POLICE,

Everybody will remember the case
of Theodore Durrant who was accused
OF numbering two girls, Minnie Will
liams and Blanche Lamont, in
church in San Francisco, Cal. He
was convicted on circumstantial evil
dence and died protesting his inno-
cence. One of the principal witnesses
against him was the pastor OF the
church in which the crime was COM
mitted. A few weeks ago the pastor
died, and in his last hour confessed
himself guilty of the crime.-Manson
Journal.
We have never seen any account OF
this in any of the San Francisco or
California papers, or anything confirm
ing or denying it, but probably as the
press OF California convicted Durrant
before he had trial they would not
like to give much publicity to this
confession. Personally we hoped Dur
rant would not be executed while
there remained the least possible
doubt as to his guilt but the press OF
the whole country and people of that
state would not have 1t any other
way. His actions from the time OF
his arrest until his death on the scat
fold in our private opinion rather in
Dictated those of an innocent man.
The terrible pressure OF the prejudiced
public mind and merciless police force
OF San Francisco wrongly influenced
the courts and jury until they dared
do nothing but convict. We have al
ways maintained that Durrant was too
young for the perpetrator Of that in.
