If funds permit, the expedition will land party of men at Mount Melbourne, on the Coast of Victoria Land, and will try to reach from that point, which is the most favorable, the south magnetic pole; but the main object is to follow out the discoveries made on the south- ern sledge journey from the Discovery.

 If possible, the new party will reach the geographical South Pole. Captain Scott and his comrades planted the British flag at the most southern point ever visited, and their successors will try to carry it still further south. It is held that the southern sledge party of the Discovery would have reached a much higher altitude if they had been more adequately equipped for sledge work; and in the new expedi- tion, in addition to dogs, Siberian ponies will be taken. It is expected that these animals will be used to great advantage. But the great novel, ty of the enterprise will be the em- ployment of a motor car. One of these machines, with a special modification to fit it for travelling over ice, is now in process of construction.

MR. HARRIMAN AS 4 HELPER.

MT. Hartman has generously said that he should be glad to help the President deal with the railroad prob lem, and the President has politely said that he should be glad to see MT. Har- riman when he comes to Washington, just as he is glad to see any man. So perhaps there may be some talk be- tween the two later on. If there is both concerned in it may profit by it. MT. Hartman knows about railroads and railroad management, and perhaps he now knows better than to do such things as ne has been doing. If he doesn't the President can tell him. And he can, if he will, show the President what ought to be done in some of the railroad matters.
 Of course if the President and Mir Hartman should get together and talk the people wont be readily convinced that MT. Hartman will talk much for their benefit. But they may be sur- prised. He hasn't reputation now as a friend of the people, but perhaps he would like to acquire one. He can make good start by using his brains, knowledge and power now in the peo- ple's interest.

Go away from home to get the news. The Outlook of London doesn't feel quite serene over Mir. Bryce's translation from the smaller Ireland across the Channel to the larger one across the Atlantic It fears that he will be too anxious to please the Presi- dent, too timid in speaking up for British interests. When it comes to a matter of international bargaining Mir. Roosevelt and Mir. Root require to be watched as one would watch New England farmer in the mazes of a horse deal" says the Outlook. Tt is common knowledge that Sir Mortimer Durand's resignation was due at bot tom to MT. RooseYelt's irritation with his firmness in upholding British inter- ests, and to the mistaken weakness of Sir Edward Grey in proceeding upon the strange assumption that Anglo American good will can only be main- tained on sliding scale of British concessions"
 If this is true there is a good deal more truth than poetry in it, But per haps the outlook hasn't looked at the situation just as it is, and in spite of it's notions it's country and the United States may still be able to get along peaceably and honorably.

ouEER YORK IN IEA1r.

IA curious story comes from Perugia, Italy, that a decision has been given in a case there in which Charles Bal liori, a tailor, was acquitted of a charge of wrongfully having two wives on the ground that he has two hearts. Four physicians testified that Balliori has two hearts, and the court at once de- cided that this was ample reason for him to marry two women.
 This reads a little like some of the stories that come out of Chicago, but if it is true the judge who made the decision ought to be upset, even if his decision isn't. Of course no man in the civilized world should have two wives If he is queer enough to have two hearts that makes no difference. One wife is the legal and moral rule A man with two hearts should bestow them both on one wife, and then she won't get any more love and devotion than she deserves. They have govern ment ownership and operation of rail- roads in Italy, and they are doing other freak things there. But they really ought not to try to establish the notion that two-hearted man need not be a true hearted man.

AN INSURANCE MATTER.

Some of the States are looking with favor on the notion that a foreign life insurance company, doing business in State under that States certificate of permission, shall invest seventy per cent. of the resSrve held on policies that originate in that State in the se- curities and mortgages of that State. Grover Cleveland, as the head of the Association of Life Insurance Presi- dents, has submitted a brief on this subject He opposes the contemplated legislation as unjust and improperly restrictive. He points out that in these propositions the State does not pro- pose to guarantee such securities, nor to protect the companies against ex- orbitant prices nor that the securities shall constitute a fund to which the policyholders of such States are to look for the payment of their policies. He pronounees the proposed legislation as unfair and oppressive.
 There are at least two sides to this matter, and MT, Cleveland has ably presented one. The Brooklyn Eagle points out that the insurance compa- nies have a remedy against such re-  striction. They may withdraw from the business of writing insurance in States that treat them in that way Insurance companies are pretty well guarded now.

This country is wasteful enough but 1t has little prudence. According to the National Geographic Magazine the United States Forest Reserves exceed in value all the arsenals, warships and navy yards controlled by the war and navy departments combined. The present area of these reserves is more than 125 ,OOO, 900 acres, an area equal to Middle Atlantic states as far south as Virginia. The net value in stumpage, grazing land, commercial forest horse power and improvements has been es- timated at $1, AIS, 100000. Practically all of this vast potential wealth is in the western and far western states. If the forest wealth of the Philippines were estimated and added the total would reach fully s2,OOOOOO,OOO or $15O,oOO,OOO more than twice our entire interest bearing public debt of $925,0OOO OO0, of which $SG,OO0,OOO is simply a future dividend paying investment in the
