Tn the Pole hY Wire.

The conditions surrounding arctic
travel are such that the principal diff
ficulty is found in maintaining com
muncation with base of supplies. 1t
is believed that wireless telegraphy
has now reached a point where, at
least, it promises such development
that future exploring parties will be
able TO carry along apparatus and
base camps. If this proves to be the
case, much of the terror of the arctic
will be removed, and exploration viii
be made both easier and safer, with
the possibility that. this added instru-
mentality win enable the discovery of
the pole at no far distant date.-Elec-

IT is to petty theft-whether in impris-

presents are carried on red trays, the
banners borne in the procession are
originally crimson, which are bright
ened by the rosy glow of the lanterns.
Red umbrellas are carried, and illu-

The Comma Elections.

The New Orleans Picayune, one of
the leading Democratic papers of the
South does not hesitate to express the
opinion that with conditions as they
exist today "the Democrats never VIII
have another National victory, ana
never will deserve one"
1t cannot have escaped the attention
of thoughtful observers that the efforts
thus far made to heal UP past differ
ences in the Democratic party, have
not been attended with success. 1t has
also been made very evident that no
effective reconciliation can ever be eff
fected among the hostile Democratic
factions upon the basis of William J.
Bryan's political opinions. There is no
doubt, but Bryan has steadily lost
ground in Democratic councils, es-
pecially in the South, where there has
been a constantly increasing restive-
ness under his assumption of leader
ship. Many of the state conventions of
his party have fatty refused to en-
dorse the silver heresy-and the breach
between the factions grows constantly
wider Mr.. Bryans Incorporate and
venomous personal attacks upon ex-
President Cleveland have only served
While the Democratic party has
hoped to make gains through Republi-
can lethargy in an off year, the indica-
tions are that they will not be able to
get into the campaign with that unity
of effort essential to such a result.
The Chicago Chronicle, one of the
strongest Democratic papers in the
country. declares that 'Unless all ap-
pearances are deceitful, a majority OF
the Democrats of the country are more
inclined to vote for a Republican than
they are for some Democrats. This is a
Roosevelt and for the Republicans
generally. Democrats who cannot toll
crate each other are not likely to be
very troublesome to anybody but them
selves"
The only thing that Republicans
must guard against this year is over
confidence. There is no doubt but
what popular sentiment throughout
the country is strongly in their favor;
and all that remains for them to do,
in order to secure an overwhelming
victory and insure continued Republi-
can control of Congress is to bring out
their vote at the polls. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that there may be no ef-
fort spared to accomplish this result.
Let every Republican in Maine do his
full duty in the September election,
and the report that goes forth from
our State will give courage and cheer
to the friends of the administrat ton
throughout the country.
