STILL AFTER THE POLE.

r. OAIMANDER PEARY is TO make
" another attempt to reach the north
pole. He says it will be his last try
for the hitherto unattainable. whether
he reaches it or not In the summer

may be away for two or three years.
In this final effort thousands of dol
lars are TO be expended. for nothing
that is in any way calculated to fur

be omitted.
And. after ali, is the expenditure in
time. in money. in SUFFERING worth
while? Tt would be very nice indeed
for the United States TO have. through
one OF its citizens, the credit for dis
covering the north pole. But when it
has been discovered viii humanity be
any better Off viii any naked backs
be clothed. any empty stomachs filed.

Nobody has an idea that the land

there is habitable. Nobody supposes
that an empire viii be opened for set

ever. indeed viii be derived from the
discovery of the north pole by Peary
or any other individual There win be
glory enough. of a sort. for Peary, and
glory. by reflection. Tor the. nation. But
there are so many other ways TO Sc
cure better returns for money and
hardship that it seems a pity TO ex-
pend the one and endure the other in
