It is fitting that the f1ftieth anniversary of the
hattie of Ossayattomie should be commem-
GRATED as it is this week There may be, and
there perhaps will always be, differences or
opinion concerning that conflict and It's purpcrt
in American history. Some historians affect 10
regard it as q negligible incident, while others
insist that it was to the Civil War what Great
Meadows was to the French and Indian War,
and what Lexington and Concord were TO the
Revolution. The truth probably lies, as usual,
between the two extremes, but It's exact place
is not Of paramount Importance for the present
purpose. There can be question of the por-
tentOus dimensions OF that incident il loomed
fifty years ago upon the horizon of national
vision both North and South. Abolitionist and
slave driver alike regarded 1t as nothing less
than epoch making. An occurrence which caused
so tremendous q sensation then deserves TO be
remembered now.
Moreover, Ossawattomie made John Brown q
figure of national interest. Concerning him. too,
there has been, is and doubtless ever will be
much difference Of opinion. We doubt, indeed,
II there is a figure in all American history of
which more strikingy opposing Views are taken.
To some he was vulgar cutthrOat; to others
he was a chiyalric hero. Some denounced him
as demon; some would almost have canOnized
him as a saint. By some he was regarded as
an irresponsible mailman; by others as wise
take the impossible task of giving final judg-
ment between such cOntroversialists. The fact
is that in 1856 and for years thereafter the name
Of "Old Brown, Ossawattomie Brown" was
unsurpassed as a name to cOnjure with, whether
for love and enthusiasm or for fear and hatred,
throughout the American continent man

This celebration, then, is wOrthily conceived

is il void of value TO us that, just the name
Of Lee can he inscribed In the Hall of Fame

WELLMAN AND PEARY.

No one will question Mr.. Wellman's wisdom

to reach the Pole Both the success OF his ex-
pedition and the lives of the five men compos-
ing his party are dependent on the efficiency of
the means OF transportation on which he ex-
poets TO rely when he leaves Spitzbergen for
the North. II he is not now thoroughly salts
fed with the condition and conduct of the ma
chinery of his airship he does well to wait until
it can be reconstructed. 1t is TO be hoped that
before he comes south for the winter he will
make tests enough TO reveal any defects which
may exist, in addition to those which he has
already discovered He ought TO make the most
of the opportunity afforded him in the next few
months TO guard against failure from purely
mechanical causes.

contemplated an advance from Spitzbergen nat

Of the one in which Grant Land was to be utll-

Alike IN one thing alike in all, mutatis

there is heartfelt sincerity about his eN-

But then Murphy Is the other fellows scoun-

perfect equity OF a mere spectator OF the fray
we must ask little also OF the District Attor-
ney Whv does he leave "Big Tim" Sullivan
out of his gallery OF "quasi-criminals"? For
"auasi-criminals' Mr.. Jerome has the keenest
eve WHY does he overlook this one? Mr.. Hearst
pillories his persistent and unwelcome friend.
Why does not Mr.. Jerome also excoriate the
boss who is reputed 60 be thrusting in similar
way his attentions upon the District Attorney!
Perhaps this is asking too much. Murphy has
always been in the foreground. Sullivan in the
background. Murphy is familiar with hogging.

is unfortunate In his "unwelcome friends" lie

The two Independents are OF one mind about
the Democratic party. Mr.. Hearst will have
none of It, He is going TO be the candidate of
the Independence party. OF course, ne cannot
prevent that despicable crew at Buffalo from
indorsing him if they are as insistent as Mr..
Murphy is In their love for him. AS for Mr..
Jerome, he would not st0op 10 pick the Dem
Ocratic nomination out of a gutter. Not he!
But, OF course, If they insist, like the unfOrtu-
nate Mr. Sullivan! Then, too, Mr. Jerome
is something of casuist. The noble end of ele-
waiting St Hieronymus to the Governorship
justifes the unworthy Buffalo means. Both
candidates are running for nomination on their
contempt for the Democracy. BY Objurgations

Independence is conducive to much talk. Ver-
boslty Is the ebulitiOn and outward manifesto

sOnalify. There is ancient authority for saying
that IN an unbossed economy the tongue is the
most unbOssable member. Silence is trust tool
and the henchman of political corruption.
Show us a man who keeps his tongue in his
head and we shall show you one fit for STRAIT
egems and hopeful Of spoiIs. Blast follows
eOunterblast. The echoes have no chance to
die away. Mr.. Hearst scarce Opes his mouth
when Mr.. Jerome indefatigably assails the
tafigued ears. Mr.. JerOme's independence scarce
wells up in him TO overfowing before Blr.
Hearst's tongue itches to utter much the same
brave defiance OF the powers Of political dark
ness. They are In a contest TO drown out each

RUSSIAN POLICIES.

No wiser word has been spoken in Russia for
a long time than that OF the 'NOvOe Vremya"
in cOunselIing the government how 10 avert the
worst kind OF civil war, by which, we assume
il means the civil war OF the Red Revolution
lists. waged with pistol, knife and bomb and
Of Moutik mObs with axe and torch. 1t advises
no iron hand repression, or, at any rate not that
alone and as a finality. To its enlightened
mind. in the historic phrase Of Bright force
is no remedy" But what is needed is that the
Cabinet, which rules Russia in the interval be-
tween two Doumas, shall AT the earliest pOssi-
BILE moment frame and proclaim a cOnstitu-
ton which shall realize the aspirations Of the
sane Liberals That done, the prOvOcatiOn to
revolution would be removed and repression Of
the Reds would become the mere uphOlding OF
law and the maintenance Of ordered liberty,
while until il is done repression will be inter
preted by many as the uphoIding OF despotism.
The exceptionally privileged and authoritative
standing Of the "NOvoe VTemya" suggests that
this utterance may have more significance than
appears on the surface Certainly the adoption
oe such policy would be hailed with profound
satisfaction by the friends of Russia every
where,

In speaking OF the future, and he took with hii'

Peary would have the advantage over his rival.
Inasmuch as the pack ice is firmer in FEBRUARY
and March than three four months later' ie
can be traversed with greater safety before tne
vernal equinox than after it. III Penry should
reach the Pole therefore he would probably do
SO early in the year. Spitzbergen, Weilnah 8
base is not accessible before june, or, at least,
was not this year. Little preparation would
be required when he once arrived there Dut It
does not seem possible that he could begin MS
aeronautic voyage until after the success OF
Peary's attempt had been determined one way
or the other. Were both men to realize their
ambition, then, Peary might be the first TO do So
There u.s. OF course another factor which may
operate innuentaly In this competition. UntH
they reach a point nearly five hundred miles
from the Pole, both men rely on Identical means
of conveyance. Beyond that limit there is
conspicuous difference Owing to the irregular
tiles in the surface of the ice and the opening
of impossible crevices between the foes, Peary
would In all likelihood, be compelled to make
many vexatious detours and traverse five times
the distance which lies between Grant Land and
the Pole. Wellman would probably be able TO
follow q nearly straight course and to travel at
a much higher rate of speed. With equal skill
and experience behind the two systems or trans
portatlon the chances of success would appar-
entity be in Wellmans favor. Peary, however,
has unquestienably given more study to the
methods which he will employ than Wellman
has to his Superiority of one kind may yet
offset superiority of another. Some time or other
the airship will prove better than sledges and
dogs. Whether 1t will in 1907 is another ques-
ton.
