A letter has been received in New
York from Dillon Wallace, who was
in Central Labrador last winter with
Ieonidas Hubbard when that unfor-
tunate explorer died of starvation. Aft
err suffering untold hardships from
hunger and cold, and narrowly escap-
ing the fate of Mr.. Hubbard. MI.
Wallace is now working his way back
to civilization. A striking fact set
forth in his letter is that, in the very
of weather, not one of the party ever
contracted a cold. He says: I'VE
were soaked to the skin nearly every
day until the middle of September and
often slept in wet clothes and wet
blankets. From the day we left here
until Sept. Is none of us went into
camp with dry feet a single night, yet
none of us had a cold or any indica-
ton OF one" Doesn't it seem that they
would have died of pneumonia? Had
they been at home, in New York city,
the probabilities are that one night in
wet clothes and wet blankets would
have been productive of pneumonia.
May Il not be. after all. that pneu-
monia is produced by something else
than wet feet and low atmospheric
temperature? The civilized mode of
living may have more than anything
else to do with it.

Justice Alton b. Parker has
Strengthened out the newspaper tangle

the tangle doubtless resulted from
confusion of some four generations of

The war in the Far East has. by
common and tacit consent, come TO be
spoken of as the Russo-Japanese War.
Some fellow with a nose for smelling
out odd things has discovered that in
nearly all wars between nations the
name of the victor is mentioned last in
designating the war. Thus we have
the Austro- Prussian War the Franco
Prussian War, the Chino-Japanese
War, the Greco Turkish War. the
Spanish-American War. Going fur
ther back, he finds that where the
name Of the war consists of one word,
that word refers TO the name of the
vannuished. The Trojan War was
won by the Greeks, the Napoleonic
wars resulted in the overthrow of Ma
poleon, the Mexican War was won by
the Americans. And then there was
the Boer War won by the British.

The quartermaster general of the
army and the paymaster general of the
navy are protesting against the Sen
ate bill providing that all government
freights shall be transported in Ameri-
can ships. They assert that the legal
prohibition Of competition by foreigners
will greatly increase the expenditures
of the War and Navy Departments.
The increased cost of Transporting
coal for the fleets is estimated at not
less than $4,000 per year. should the
bill be passed. Now, if government Of
ficials are protesting against the gov
ernment's proposed favoritism, what is
to be said of the great mass of ship
pers of merchandise, whom it is pro-
posed to force to patronize the pro-
tected pets of the Republican party at
their own rates? If the army and
navy are moved to protest against an
onerous and unjust law, there is all
the more reason why a protest from
the people should have weight.

GOV. CARTER'S POSITION
ON ACTIVE PAR7|sAhSHIP

In letter addressed to Chairman A.
G. NJ. Robertson, Chairman of the Re-
publican Territorial Central Committee,
Governor Carter outlines his policy
with regard to the mooted question of
the removal of office-holders from posi-
lions of authority in the party organ
ization. In effect, the gist of the Gov
ernor rs position is contained in one
paragraph of his letter, as follows:
81 am not conscious of ever having
asked an official TO seek such a posi-
ton, or intimated to any one that
such was my desire. Those officials
who hold such positions received the
distinction and honor at the hands of
their constituents in the regular course
of selection made under the rules of
the party. And as 1 have had nothing
to do with their securing such posi-
tions, I see no reason for my taking
any part in their removal. "
