COOKS PO1AR CAMPAIGN.

Until both Peary and Cook come back from
tie Arctic regions perhaps it viii be best not TO
attach much importance 10 the charge that the
former has confiscated property belonging 70
the latter Certain facts, however, seem to he
pretty well established by two letters, written
bv a German named Francke, who was in the
employ Of Cook, 10 Peary. Several boxes con
taining fox skins and narwhal tusks were left
in Francke's care on the Greenland coast Cook,
who crossed ElIesmere Land last year in a
westerly direction, pushed out over the polar
sea 10 The uorthward in March, 1905 He did
not reioin Francke as expected last summer,
and his fate is still unknown. When Peary' S
two ships the Roosevelt and the Eric, reached
Ftah last August nothing had been heard from
Cook and as Francke was sick he begged Pesry
To send him south when the Eric returned The
request was granted Peary's surgeon and the
wife OF the Roosevelt's captain having in the
mean time done what they could 10 relieve
Franckes suffering. Before leaving Etah
Francke presented the fox skins and ivory TO
Peary, though ct last accounts they had not
been sent TO this country The damage they
had sustained from water and hard usage rem
ders their value questionable.
The secretary OF an organization which is
backing the Brooklyn explorer puts upon these
facts an Interpretation that is extremely uncom-
nlimentary TO Peary, but is not yet, we think
justified. The world does not know what
disposition has been made of the fur and ivory,
nor what Cooks own opinion is likely TO be.
What right Francke had to give away another
mans property is not quite clear. but his graft
tuds TO Peary for saving his life is certainly
natural. Besides he might have argued that TIE
skins and tusks would be picked up by EsGui-
mnus or other persons If he abandoned them.
Rather than leave them TO such a fate he Eight
well have thought IL eXcIfsable TO give them TO
friend For aught he knew, his employer vas
dead.
Whatever may he thought Of Franckes con
duct Cook has laid himself open to criticism.
Francke was the only white man he retained In

The decision of New Jerseys Court OF Errors
and Appeals that New Jersey cannot levy col
lateral inheritance tax upon the stock of New
Jersey corporation left by nonresident Of the
state is in accordance with good sense Inc
practice in this state and many others Is 10 levy
such tax But the result is double taxation
The state OF which the decedent was resident
collects an inheritance tax upon the shares anu
then the state which incorporated the company
in which the shares are held collects another.
This absurdity is carried a step further when
the corporation, as in some instances, is incoT-
porated under the laws of two states and the
decedent was & resident OF third and three
collateral inheritance taxes may be levied or
the same shares.
To judge from the sweeping nature Of the
Board Of Aldermen's ordinance against ticket
speculation. the ticket spectators have good
many friends in the board.
The first important measure introduced into
the new Russian Douma is providing for
the increase Of individual peasant proprietor

fifty Deputies have signifed their intention Of
speaking on it, and thousands of peasants have
fiocked to the capital to coach" their repre-
sentatives concerning it, so that d long debate
is in prospect: but in the end the bill will prob
ably pass, and it should prove of real benefit 10
the people.
