 But the name of Dr. Cook will all ways be printed next to pure read ing matter in connection with striv- ings after and attainments of the pole His name has been especially and indissolubly linked with that Of Peary. of whose achievement there can now be no doubt.
 That the populace has been with Cook from the beginning is evident. The masses were more inclined to him by the petulance, which at times seemed narrow, of Peary. It was an exhibition in disagreeable contrast to the openhandedness of Cook. who further warmed the popular heart by the declaration. There is honor enough for us both"
 We can see now how Peary must have regarded that generous utter ance. It was to him like the offer of a thief who would return a part of the plunder on the theory that there was enough for both him and his victim.
 He fooled us all," said his packer, Bradley, from the king of Denmark down" He fooled even scientists. who could not contemplate that any man would attempt such a gigantic fraud. Its discovery must mean exile not alone from his country, but from all civilized countries.
 Assuming now that the word of the consistory at Copenhagen is final, there is no place in this wide world where Dr. Cook may again raise his head. The finding. of course. has not been that he did not discover the pole, but that he has submitted no proof of the discovery. There is the further unuttered conclusion that if he had had other proof he would have submitted it; if he had been at the pole he would have had the praof
 The only word in his behalf is an expression of a belief that he is in- sane. That may be so now. But the world will never believe that the man who concocted such a design to deceive the scientific world was a lunatic-a design which might have been successful but for Peary. whose opposing claims invited a more crit ical examination of Cooks claims.
 Nor would lunatic have so breath lessly availed himself of his financial opportunity, which must necessarily be brief if the message he had to de- liver was a lie.
 Dr. Cook has evidently not been so far north as the pole. but as an ex- plorer of the realms of fancy he has gone farther than any other man.
 Of the strange world of dreams he has discovered not only its north pole, but also the south He has To- cated its continents and islands and he has charted its remotest seas.

Concerning that youth there is much doubt.

Park sfand-weafthy New Yorker
Offers Big Money for Front Seats.

The reviewing stand ticket Spectator
and his victim we're In evidence yester-
day. So great has been the demand for
seats On the. reviewing stands that the
supply on the uptown stands was long
ago exhausted, and the late comers have
been obliged 70 be accommodated else
where or have become the prey Of sharp
ers. who have obtained few seats here
AMI .here on the better stands. and are
selling them at exorbitant figures.
/ Try as the inaugural committee viii.
the speculator cannot be fully eliminated
from the situation BY means Of mis-
representation these men get control OF
limited number of seats on the best
stands. and at the last moment find some
one willing TO pay 4ncy prices for their
seats. The SPECTATORS make about three
or four times the investment.
Committee Serves All Alike.
The highest price realized for the best
seats by the committee Is s. each. These
are bought from the sellers Of the tickets
and are sometimes sold and resold several
times. Last week It was known that
few seats in the, Lafayette Square stand
and at other points were changing hands
at SO each.
Yesterday a man reported at The Wash
ington Herald Office that he paid SO
each FOR two seats. one for himself and
ore for hisN wife. He said he had come
a long distance to see the parade. and
had TO see it even ST so Der.
The seats that bring such figures as
this, Of course, are al sae vantage points
where the parade can be seen at its best.
All the time, even yesterday, tickets
could be had at 81 each. They are not
very good seats and are away from the
center Of interest in the court Of honor.
Governor Pays Big Price.
A story was current last night at one
Of the hotels that the governor Of one
CT the Northern States who had to pro-
vide seats for four members Of his party,
paid 50 apiece for them. He was told
by the speculator who offered the tickets
that the seats were together in the La
fayette Square stand. The governor.
learned afterward that they were inferior
seats and were separated, so that his
friends would be compelled to sit apart,
unless the matter can be arranged to-day
al the stand.
A report was current last night also,
which could not be verified. that a rich
New Yorker had offered s1.o00 for four
seats near the front OF the reviewing
stand in Lafayette Park
such an Offer Ridiculous.
The righteousness Of making such an
Offer. is apparent. as a little inquiry up to
3 O'Clock yesterday would have obtained
for the wealthy New Yorker a room with
a window where his four friends could
be sheltered for an outlay Of s2ao.
II. most instances CT this kind the vic
TN, IS as much to blame as the specuIa-
tor. II the seekers after such high-priced
seats and such low-pTieed notorietv
would take a little trouble to make in
Quiry at the right places, and be willing
10 accept the seats for sale and the privi-
Ieges available at this late hour, thev
need not complain of any swindlIng
scheme in Washington.
