He set out for the channel on August 10,
twelve days earlier than the Polaris
with the Hall expedition. He had spent
nine days collecting walrus for dog food,
getting together his twenty-three Eski-
mos and 200 dogs, and overhauling the
Roosevelt's machinery before he struck
into the Ice he saw before him; but after
all this preliminary work, he was within
sight Of Smith Sound eleven days earlier
than INoLEFlELD and nineteen days
ahead OF HAYES, though KANE, MARES
and GREELY arrived from . week to 4
fortnight earlier than PEARY.
He had thus made a fair average IN
the time of his arrival; but he saw Ice
before him whore HALL and GREKLY
had found open water, and his battle
with the foe waa to begin at tho outset.
We may say at least that no ono before
PEARY in those waters has had half 80
adequate an outfit for fighting ice; and
unless luck is decidedly against him there
seems to be no reason why, with ship
built for ice ramming and explosives to
blow open path where none can other
wise be forced, he should not reach his
base on the Arctic shores before winter
closes down. Moreover, ice at the en-
trance to Smith Sound is no proof that
good deal of open water may not be
found further north.

we have free display Of jealousy and

1t Is impossible as yet to Judge the
truth Of the charges made, charges Of
unfair discrimination by the registra-
ton committee, In favor Of a club whose
protested athletes, it is declared, were
Immediately and arbitrarily reinstated;
but the mere fact that the charges were
made-and publicly made-h in itself
almost as disgraceful as proved guilt OF
them would be.
From one point Of view, however,
such otherwise regrettable occurrences
are welcome. Every one Of them adds
new force to the demand for q general

In the calendar Of the minor ward states
men OF New York city Labor Day closes
the outing and picnic" season. Under
the existing system OF choosing the leader
OF an Assembly district at the September
primary. coming this year on Tuesday Of
next week, great importance is attached
to impressing wavering voters with con-
fidence in victory. An aspirant for the
ership, ia deerous Of making as favorable
a showing as possible This he usually
does by giving a free picnic or excursion
to the men, women and children Of his AS
semtly district.
Under ordinary conditions. where there
is no leadership contest pending, the 'out-
ing" of district organization held in midi
summer is q neighborhood affair. Those
who attend 1t do so because they wish to
attend, and not on account Of any political
effect which their attendance or absence
might have. But when there is a contest,
each faction or organization endeavors to
outdo the other. The outing" precedes
the primary as the cocktail precedes
dinner Free tickets help to swell the num-
ber in attendance at an outing. A political
leader entirely confident OF success does
not need to pay for free outing, or per-
haps for any outing. A leader who fears
defeat loses no opportunity to make his
outing q success, and it is in consequence
Of this that the local expression has arisen,
The larger the outing, the less prospect Of
SUCCESS"
During the remaining week before the
September primaries the battle for district
mastery will be carried on at close range.
near the place Of strife and not at distance.
A primary in populous district is char.

To THE Ep1ros OF THE suN-Sir: II
understand the recent action OF the Su-
promo Council OF the Roysl Arcanum at
It's session held at Put In Bay, concluding
on Sept. 4. they practically refuse 10 revoke
the new table Of rates adopted IN May
maniiestly unjust ~ TO force the conclusion
that II was intended not 10 much to discrimi-
nate against the elderly members OF the
order but to set rid Of them entirely. and Il
wln quickly accomplish the purposs Il sub
mltted to.
An Individual who Joined the Royal Area
mum twenty-seven years ago. at tho Ago OF
nth year. gets no credit under the new table
Of rates for his loyalty to the order-abeo-
Mtely none. He has given all the best years
of his life to IL. He has worked for II In his
youth. He has striven for 1t In middle LIE.
He has supported aud sustained II with hls
patriotic effort and means. and at sixty-hve.
when he has reached point In life whore he
is helpless-the order withdraws Its proteo-
ton and drives him out In his old age, de-
prived OF the competency he thou eht he had
been laying up all these years for the suste-
nance and support Of those depending upon
him.
This effort on the part OF the management
IL 90 tran sparent that It has. In my juds-
ment. forfeited the confidence II not the
respect Of two-thirds Of our members In the
country: and the order is doomed unless
something is done. Ny opinion ls that Il
should be reorganised from the ground up,
and to this end SUI ugeest a convention Of all
the councils favorable to II In the United
States and Canada. A table Of rates can
easily be arran ged that will perpetuats the
order and do. at the same time. equal and
exact ustice to all members.
Let us by all means have . convention

favorable to the movement.

seriously with that vague proposition,
the balance Of trade" our commerce
with Brazil should be a nightmare With
no other land do we carry 80 heavy an
adverse balance OF trade" We are
told by special observers that Brazil
would be glad to extend her purchases
In our market, and that the Brazilian
Government IL dsslrous Of establishing
closer trade relations. Our exports to
that country last year were little less
than Sll, 100000
The total weight of our imports last
year little exceeded 400, 900 tons, or the
equivalent of weekly cargo for ships
carrying 5000 tons Of freight. II to this
tonnage there be added the weight Of
the hides and the wool imported from
the region Of the Rio de la Plata, it is
evident that in weight and volume our
imports from the east coast Of South
America would freight weekly line OF
large steamers or semi-weekly line OF
steamers OF about the size OF those that
now run to Havana The obstacle to such
a service appears in the return cargo.
We're such an enterprise in operation
most OF the southbound steamers would
run empty. Yet Germany, already oper-
ating an excellent line of steamships be-
tween Hamburg and Brazilian ports,
has recently arranged for an increase in
her South American feet by the addi-
ton of six steamers OF 5000 to 5000 tons
burden, especially adapted to the South
American trade.
The imports OF the area which includes
Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina amount
annually to little less than $500 900 900,
Of which we now supply about 10 per
cent. The merchandise represented by
this total Of imports consists almost in
it's entirety of wares and materials which
we produce and for which we want
market. 1t comprises coal, food prod
ucts, cotton cloth, tools and machinery,
chemicals and pharmaceutical products,
agricultural implements and railway
equipment. Those three countries alone
buy about $4O, 900 900 worth Of manu-
factured cotton goods a year. Our share
Of that last year was about 81 ,2Oo,0O
Our present commerce, import and ex-
port, with the east coast Of South Amer
lea now shows total Of about $l55, ,000,-
900 a year, represented by $lls,5oo, 900
worth of imports and $ss, 500 900 Of ex-
ports. This would seem to justify the
establishment Of American banks or
an American bank with branch offices.
Yet almost the entire exchange is con-
Quoted through London.
The total imports Of this east coast
area exceed those Of China by nearly
10 per cent. Yet we show only about
1 per cent. as much interest and activity
In connection with this comparatively
nearby trade as We show in the trade
Of the distant Middle Kingdom.

Secretary Root In Ohio.

These wholly sane and sensible re-
marks about the participation OF Cabi-
net officer in State political campaign
come from the Enquirer Of Cincinnati:
"The people Of Ohio have been long interested
In the announcement that the Hon. ELIHu Roof.
Secretary OF State. will take a prominent part In
the Republican campaign opening. Republicans
and Democrats alike will give him respectful and
heedful hearing. We not sympathetic with
the sarcasm Of a contemporary. which says that
= his admirers never tire Of saying what big man
he s but evidently he isn't big enough TO appreciate
the proprety OF dropping parlizan politics while he
holds a great public once That Mr.. ROOT holds
the Premiership is no reason why he should hide
his light. On the contrary. his tmlnence In Affairs
enhances the desire and the ngh, OF the people to
hear from him"
Mr. RoOT happens to possess in the
superlative degree the faculty Of clearly
presenting political issues. So remark
able is his talent in this respect that
when he has finished speaking those
whom he has not succeeded In convinc-
ing are about as grateful to him for en-
lightenment as those whom he he's actu-
ally persuaded. The unconvinced know,
at least, that the best has been said that
can be said against their way Of think
ing; and accordingly they rejoice and are
proud because OF the proved impregna-
bility Of their political faith.
That much regarding partizan argu-
ment merely. In broader aspect, Mr..
Roor's intercourse now and then with
the people as the spokesman Of an Ad-
ministration which enjoys, to an extent
never before witnessed in this country,
the general approval Of citizens Of all
parties is a desirable thing for all con-
cerned. 1t is one of the benefits which
the public derives from the gentleman's
return to active political life. We fancy
that reasonable Democrats everywhere
will take the Enquirer's view Of the on
tire propriety Of the Secretary's appear
ance on the stump.
