PEARY AND THE POLE.

The not quite unexpected has happened, and
Commander Peary's announcement that he has
reached the North Pole will be received with
mingled emotions by his fellow countrymen.
The enthusiasm and delight which If would
otherwise have inspired will be modified by the
fact that his title 10 the distinction OF being
the first to perform the feat is disputed hy an
other American. If the claims of Dr. Cook
should be verified the whole world, while not
Withholding from him the highest honors, would
deeply sympathizc with the feelings of the
naval officer whose ambition for nearly twenty
years has been a single goal. II Fortune had
bestowed her favors in exact proportion to the
time and effort devoted by the rival explorers
TO the task there can be no doubt who would
have won the prize. Perhaps even yet it may
be wise 10 wait until more is known about tue
actual achievements of both before attempting
10 decide which is entitled 10 the greater fame.
Although Commander Peary's report follows
that of DR.. Cook after only a few days, some
thing like year apparently intervened between
their reported discoveries. DR.. Cook went to
the Arctic regions two years ago, and be claims

over the polar ice, there would have been an
exciting race had they been able to leave the
land behind them at practically the same time

The last few days have seen two somewhat
startling incidents at Atlantic City, which prom
ise TO have faTeaching results upon the con-
test over the enforcement of law at that place
We have explained how the local bosses and their
followers were enabled to defy the laws of the
state with impunity so long as recourse was had
10 the ordinary law courts. Conviction was i'm
possible without Indictment by grand jury,
and all efforts Of the public prosecutor were
vain in the presence of grand jury which re-
fused TO find indictments, no matter how strong
case might be presented, and which in
deed, declared itself above the law So long as
the law-breaking ring could keep it's grip on the
local machinery its position seemed imDrec-
nabe.
But New Jersey happens to lie a state in
which a good Oli-fashOned Court of Chaucerv

After his election showing no trace of re-

assault upon the frying pan. which in Demo

censor from whose bosom is swung the Inspiring
fragrance Of the party incense, and the apostate
who attacks it is an enemy of liberty, union, the
Constitution and the doctrine that to the victor
belong the spoils.
Democrat may be pardoned perhaps, for
being a little hazy about such distractions as
the proper metallic basis for our currency or the
taxability or nOn-taxability Of raw materials.
