Sandy Bottom, the absorbing
melodramatic play to be presented at
the opera house this evening
is a realistic production OF home life
in the hills of Arkansas. 1t is conce-
ded to be one Of the best constructed
plays in that line introduced on the
modern stage 1t is a play that those
who love the best i'll dramatic art
should not fail to see.

Because Mayor Low has been so good non

Of all the ante-election pledges Of himself and
the fusion platform, he hasn't carried out the
fusion idea! oh. politics what monkeys men
make Of themselves in thy name!
What was the fusion idea I'm Mr.. Sheehans
opinion? Was it that he should treat the Re-
publican organization right as 10 patronage.
or that he should administer the city govern
ment without regard to partyf Was it that he
should make a clean sweep OF Tammany and
distribute spoils in due proportion to Sheehan-
ties. Ridderbunds and Republicans, or that he
should conduct affairs solely with view to the
efficiency Of the departments making removals
only for cause and making appointments only
for fitness? Was il part Of the fusion idea
that be should devote himself TO pleasing the
hremen and policemen? Let Mr.. Sheehan read
over the fusion platform OF 1901 and see if he
finds anything about treating any organization
right Then. whether he finds anything or not.
Jet him explain why Democrats. in their intense
desire to be non-partisan and give the Republi-
cans no comfort, should oppose Mr.. Low because
the Republicans have not received from him all
that they were entitled TO in the way of
patronage.

Postmaster General Payne explains that there
was DO deception practised upon him IN the
Todd case. No rule OF the department gave
Miss Todd a settled claim 10 serve out new
term Of four years She was technically hold
over. and in sacrificing her TO the greed of Sen
ator Alice he did nothing exceptional; he merely
recognized the rights" Of Senators. which were
respected in the distribution Of patronage in
other States.
II is doubtless true that a fourth class post
master has 10 fixed tenure after entering upon
q second four years az service. Neither. for that
matter has he al any time in the first four years.
He holds Office at the mere pleasure Of the
Postmaster General. Mr.. Payne would have
tie same right to remove every fourth class
postmaster in Southern Delaware. to enable
Senator Alice 70 exercise his fright TO name
Successors. that he had 10 remove Miss Todd.
1t is also true that as matter Of practical pol
itics no administration can ignore the claims
OF Senators To a voice in appointments. though
II recalls fatal days OF Senatorial usurpation to
speak of a Senator's right 20 name officers
under the terms Of n private agreement. Ex-
cept by the hypercritical. no fault will be found
with an administration for taking the advice
Of senators concerning appointments in their
States when the interest of the service calls for
rev appointments. But il is not unrea bic
10 ask that removals shall not be arbitrarily
made simply TO create vacancies for spoils mon
gers.
The sad thing about the Postmaster Generals
utterances the subject is the utter imper-
viousncss 10 ideas Of progress and lack OF con-
ception of the higher standards Of political life

PEsRY FOR THE POLE AGAIN.

The expected is happening again in Arctic ex-
ploration. Commander Peary is going TO make
another dash for the Pole. The homesick wan
derer from Mandalay has assured us that IF
you've heard the East a-callin' you won't
'eed nothin' else" 1t seems to be as true of
North as East Once man of pith and venture
becomes interested in Arctic exploration. he
never fully escapes from its fascinating sway.
Commander Peary-though he was not COM
mander then-long ago became interested to an
exceptional degree in Arctic research. and so,
despite the fact that he has already won laurels
upon which any man might proudly rest, we are
not surprised TO see that the passion impels him
10 make still another venture in quest OF the
penetralia of the mysterious North.
We are not surprised. but in common with the
world of science the world of adventure and
the world OF heroism, are much gratifed.
We know of no man who better deserves the
honor of being first TO reach the Pole. or whom
his countrymen would rather win that i'm
perial distinction. than Commander Peary. We
know of no one who is more likely to achieve
that feat than he. These things are because OF
the practical scientific. systematic way in which
he goes about his Arctic work, and because OF
the modest, unpretentious. yet wholly self-re-
liant, demeanor of the man. No one has been
more free from Boosting promises, and few. if
any. have In the end shown greater practical re-
suits. No one has accomplished so much as he
with so little cost of or peril to human life.
1t is gratifying to see that the Peary Arctic
Club will supply in generous measure the means
required for this venture. 1t is also appropri-
ate that the Navy Department gives the In
trepid explorer three years leave Of absence
and--as the Acting Secretary. Mr.. Darling, elo-
quently does-bids him goodspeed on his great
enterprise From its early days the American
Navy has been distinguished for its work for
geographical and other science In times of peace,
and It will be its GROWING glory if one of its
officers first OF all men plants the American
flag upon the Arctic Pole. II will not be. 1t IS
true. a vessel of our navy that bears him
thither. 1t is better that, he intends, he shall
build ship for the purpose, according TO his
own plans. and it will be interesting to see If he
improves upon the model Of the historic Fran.
But it will be an American ship. with an Amer
lean commander, and the good wishes of the
American people will accompany it and him.
To paraphrase the words Of the Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy, our national pride is involved
in the undertaking, and the nation expects that
the brave voyager will accomplish his purpose
and will bring further distinction to a service
OF illustrous traditions
