The ALsERrA DISASTER.

TIE SYMPATHY of al the people
of Utah VIII so ont To the stricken
citizens az the little town Of Frank. in
the Alberta district OF the Northwest
Territory. Late reports indicate that
the disaster which has al but wiped
out the town was caused by a landslide
or tremendous proportions, and not by
mine explosion, as the earlier dis
patches suggested.
This in E. way, IS some comfort, for
the stricken ones have at least the
assurance that no human power could
have prevented the catastrophe. The
death list has not get been completed,
but it is certain that the number viii
greatly exceed 100. So fa- as known

number IN the Alberta district, but
chiefly around Cardston. lost their
lives.

By this announcement. but at the same
time they win join in expressions of
sorrow for the families that have been
so suddenly bereaved. Hardly house :
mold in Frank has escaped loss, either
to life or property.

AMERICAS POLITICAL CRIMES.

Z 0REICTN WRITERS have always
been fond Of holding up American
politics as examples of iniquity. cor
ruption and all that stands for base
ness. From time to time we have
cried ont indignantly against what we
have been pleased to term ISLANDERS,
but it must be confessed that recent
records are against US. The PhiIadel-
phia North American has compiled
some statistics which show briefly,
though not conprehensively, the
amount of fraud and jobbery that is
going on in this country. The list fol-
lows:
Washington, D. C.-COntract jobbery.
payroll padding and traficking in pro-
motions in the postoffice department.
Pennsylvania-COrpo grab bills
rushed through the legislature and
halted from passage only by publicity:
press muzZIing bill passed to protect
political crooks.
New York-CorpOrate grab bills
rushed through until halted by the gov
ernor's threatened veto; open charges
of legislative bribery.
-Missouri-W Wholesale bribery in the
legislature and the government Of St
Louis; several bride givers and bride
takers sent to Jail others awaiting
trial; grand juries still considering in
dictments.
IlIinois-Riot in the legislature over
an attempt to throttle discussion of a
street railroad grab bill
Minneapolis former mayor and
other city officials indicted for collision
with criminals.
Porto Rico-Naval officers and gov
eminent employees indicted for snug
Aiaska-Army ofa~yrs accused by
the war department Of selling commits
sary supplies for private gain.
IN addition to the above. the charge
made by General Miles that army Of
ficers Ill the Philippines have been
dealing in government supplies to their
own advantage might be mentioned.
Nor is anything said about the political
corruption, the wholesale bribery that
has been going on in Rhode Island,
Delaware. Pennsylvania and even IN
der the reform administration in New
York city. Only the more prominent
instances are mentioned.
1t will be seen. therefore. that we
haven't very much right TO complain
ab5uU outside criticism. Still, it should
be remembered thar prosecutions are
being conducted in nearly every case
where il is possible to conduct prose-
cutions. The government is proceeding
against its criminals; the state Of Mis-
souri, and the city Of st. Louis are purg-
ing themselves as rapidly as could rea-
sonably be expected, and very much
the same methods are being used else
where.
We are at least recognizing the fact
that we lack a sEeat deal Of being per-
feet. and that there is lots Of room for
Improvement. Salt Lake City and Utah
have thus far been spared any serious
scandals among OfficehOlders. Here we
have suffered to q cOnsiderab bic extent,
but our distress has been caused by
incOmpetency rather than by criminal
intent, and of the two evils. incom-
potency is perhaps less blaneworthy-

MAMMOTH WELL, HARDLY.
New Workers Who Know About Pleist ocen,
Things Seem to Doubt II.

The scientists of the American MUSEUM
of Natur Il History do not take seriously
the report from San Francisco, printed yes
tertlay. that DR.. j. P. Frizzele, Govern
ment employee, has found in the Arctic
island of Unimak the track Of a living
mammoth.
They think that DR. Frizzelc spoke wisely
when he said that he didn't want to appear
ridiculous by stating positively that there
is mammoth still living.
But it is fact, he added, according to
the San Francisco despatch that l saw
comparatively fresh tracks on the island Of
Urimak, about four miles from the main
land"
Prof. Waldemar Jochelson and Prof
Waldemar Bogoras of the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History, both members Of
the recent Jesup North Pacific expedition
saw the San Francisco despatch yesterday
Absurd" both exclaimed.
1t might have been the track OF an elk, '
suggested Prof. Jochelson.
"Or OF an escaped elephant from Barnum's
circus, added Prof. Bogoras.'
Both professors said that the island re-
ferred TO was a small one, and il there we're
a live mammoth on it everybody would
know it. It's good many thousand years
since live mammoths were making tracks.
On his recent trip to the North Pacific as
a member of the Jesup expedition Prof.
Jochelson found at the mouth OF the Lena
River a mammoth tusk which belonged
to the pleistoeene age. 1t weighs 200 pounds
and measures Is feet inches.

but the spectacular features of the con-
test of 1901 will be eliminated practi-
cally from this falls struggle. The
bold campaign of Mr.. JEROME in 1901
earned thousands of votes for the anti
Tammany ticket and stirred up the vot-
ers amazingly. This year there will be
nothing that can compare with 1t IN
popular interest, for the existence OF the
practices which furnished Mr., JEROME S
ammunition cannot be admitted now by
the men who found them so effective IN
1901.
Tammany is in position to take adj
vantage of every error and mistake that
the Low administration has made. Re
lieved from the burden of defending the
acts of any public officers, it is at liberty
to attack whom it pleases. The Mayor
is supreme in the city government under
the present Charter and responsible for
the acts of all of his subordinates. Mr.
CROKER believes firmly that Tammany
on the aggressive is far stronger than
Tammany on the defensive. Certainly,
it's organization in New York county is
as compact and effective now as it was
two years ago. This is true also OF the
Kings county Democratic organization.
1t matters little what action Mr., JOHN
c. SHEEHAN's organization and Mr..
HERMAN RIDpER's much overestimated
following take. Neither of them can
swing enough votes to affect the result,
unless the margin is narrow. Mayor
Low and his ticket will win or lose on
the record his administration has made
and on the opinion of Democrats as to the
effect on next years national and State
elections of continuance of the present
political conditions in New York city.

Eggs and Yacht Models.

Mr.. GEORGE G. BENSON must have
given much time and close study to the
models of Reliance and Shamrock III in
order to discover that the secret of the
defenders superiority in sailing to wind
ward was the resemblance of the central
section of her body to the shape of an
egg His discovery is all his own A
writer in this months Outing, making a
critical comparison of the late antago-
nists correctly says OF Shamrock H.:
The greater part of this bulky hull is
in the fore body; the centre of buoyancy
is forward of the midship section"
The same writer finds that Reliance's
remarkable windward work was due
partly to her big fin keel md partly to the
immense lateral plane furnished by her
long overhangs when she heeled to the
breeze While less than 90 feet long on
the water line when upright, when hee!ed
she measures nearly 1870 feet on the water.
She is then about 10 feet longer on her
side than Shamrock is.
Furthermore, it il the challenger that
has the thinner and hatter afterbody.
In short of the TWO yachts the one which
approaches at all TO the egg shape is tho
one which was soundy beaten. Very
few people know anything AT all about

American golfers have learned some
salutary lessons in the course OF the visit
Of the team representing Oxford and Cam
bridge. That which has provided the most
substantial food for reflection has been
the plain fact that a little company Of uni
versity boys, by no means the fastest or
most hardened set Of players in England
far from being representative of the highest
skill to be found in the tight little island
has with consummate ease disposed of the
best teams that could be brought together
in this country. II a team of amateurs of
such standing in Great Britain as that
held here by TRAVIS. DOUGLAS, REINHART,
BRoKAw. the EaANs. ByERs, and other
cracks who have met the enemy, were to
come across the ocean, we should not be
able to provide them with good practice.
We have developed some pretty fair golfers,
but we have better chance with England
at cricket.
