The Next Speakership.

The decision of General Henderson

the Republicans of the whole country

Naturally speculation is already rife

nent degree, the character, abilities
and legal attachments to fit him for this
high office. The people of Maine will
not soon forget his splendid record as
the presiding officer of our State House
of Representatives. On the occasions
when he has presided over the Com
mittee of the whole of the National
House he has impressed himself upon
his associates in that body as a man
exceptionally well fitted for the intel|.-
gent discharge of the important duties
devolving upon the Chair.
Mr.. Lttlefeld is recognized as one
of the strongest debaters in Congress.
He is a man of untiring industry, Won
derful capacity for hard work and a
lawyer of the very first rank. AS
Speaker of the National House of
Representatives he would be a credit
alike to himself and his party. The
people of Maine will unite in the hope
that this merited honor may be ac-
corded him by his party associates.

The Return of Peary.

IL is inevitable that there should be
country that Robert E. Peary has re-
turned from his four years in the froz-
en- zone with the great object of his ex
petition unaccomplished. True, he
has accomplished much for science and
his record of "a degrees II minutes
north is splendid achievement, but
somehow the country had faith that
this quiet and modest man who knew
his business so well and went about it
50 intclligently would reach the goal
which so many others have sought in
vain. In his own words the finding of
the pole would be brilliant but bar
rem achievement. Science and utility
agree that this is the proper summing
up of the north pole theory; yet. more
az the result of national pride than for
any other reason, il is the popular feel
ing that the explorer who starts for the
pole md fails to reach it has made a
failure of his work.
This was Lieut.. Peary's fifth ex-
petition to the Arctic region and he
has said that 1t would be his last. The
pole he has not reached, but it is to his
everlasting credit and renown that he
has wrung more secrets from the froz-
en- Ncrth than any other navigator,
and that he has been given more
medals and honors by geographical So
cieties and learned bodies than any
other Arctic explorer of any age or ma
ton. That his latest voyage will add
greatly to his fame and his
honors is not to be doubted More
than this 1t is to the eternal
credit of the man that he has never
been a braggart or visionary or a
seeker for mere notoriety or personal
gain. The spirit of the true scientist
has been his. and the intrepid zeal and
dauntless perseverance of the Morse
men and of Columbus have spurred
him on. In all his work there has been
careful and abundant preparation, pa
tience. Intelligence and unlimited per-
Sonal courage. His failure to reach
the pole was due to no other and no
less reasons than the insuperable
physical difficulties of the ice pack.
When the present year opened, there
were four Arctic expeditions Wintering
within the Arctic circle. Two of these
were American, one Norwegian and the
Other Russian. In the opinion of lead
ing geographical authorities through
cut the world, there was most to be ex-
sected this year, from that commanded
BY Lieutenant Peary, partly because
be had been longest in those regions
on his present expedition, partly be-
cause no other Arctic explorer now
living has had so much experience
combined with so large a measure of
success: and for the further reason
that the Peary expedition was planned
and equipped with a view to more thor
sugh. persistent and protracted work
than either of the other three. He re-
turns, batfled as to reaching the pole,
but nevertheless with much learned
and accomplished, and will be well
coined with the honors due such an in
trepid explorer.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Republican Remedy.
Boston JournaD.

The Democratic panacea would de-
stroy independent industry, and would
leave the trusts monopolizing the
whole domestic field Well does Con-
gresham Littlefield pronounce it 'the
most grotesque, preposterous, halr-
Drained proposition the Democratic
party has ever produced" AS to the
trust problem in general, Mr.. Little
field adds:
The Republican party says that
this is an evil. 1t says it doesn't eX-
list perhaps to quite such an extent as
our Democratic friends say that it
does. But it is not wise to be hysteri-
cal. 1t says that the Republican party
will control and regulate, and where
ever evil exists it viii destroy it, but
it will not destroy the industries of the
country. The Republican party asks
the people of the country to trust the
party which has given the country con-
structive and not destructive legisla-
ton
Here is one more signal proof of the
steady unifying of Republican states
manship over this question, which the
Democratic brethren fondly hoped
only a little while ago, would disrupt
and demoralize the majority party in
the nation. The Republican remedy
for trusts and combinations is the safe
middle course of regulation, not of an
Inhalation. Mr.. Littlefield follows the
example of President Roosevelt and
Senator Lodge by declaring that the
first need is honest publicity.
