is admitted, even by Commander
Peary, to be far more complex, since
the land or sea in the direction from
which it will seek the pole IS practical

have to depend upon the quality of

The vessel selected for the Scott ex-
petition is the Terra Nova, the largest
and strongest Of the old Scottish whal-
ers. She is considered the best ship
ever launched for the Greenland whale
trade and has always been a most

miralty as a relief ship for the Dis

Scott was also the leader. Two years
later she was in the service of a
north pole expedition on a visit to
Franz Josef Land; thus she has ranged
from the great barrier in the south to
the polar pack in the north, covering
the navigable waters Of the globe from
extreme to extreme. Port Lyttelton,
New Zealand, will probably be the last
habitable point of land at which the

The republican party is not in
fallible. Ali parties have made mis-
takes and will continue to do SO. An
error of judgment is not necessarily
fatal to either a party or an indi-
vidual but in this tariff business, the
danger lies in giving heed to the
wishes of a few controlled politicians
rather than to the expressed wishes
of the people. 1t is best not to at
tempt to stroke the peoples fur the

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
CONSULT THE PEOPLE, NOT THE
POLITICIANS.

In the congressional elections this
fall those members of the present
congress who desire reelection will
be relieved of great handicap if
they can make it clear to their con-
stituents that they were in no wise
responsible for writing the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill on the general stat
utes. This tariff measure may or
may not be responsible for the in
creased cost of living but it will be
difficult to convince the majority of
the voters between now and election
that it is not in some way responsible
for this condition. The extreme dis
satisfaction with which this measure
is received in the east has been made
plain by the Chicago Tribunes re-
cent poll among the republican and
Independent editors who, in answer
to the question, do you indorse the
Aldrich tariff law?" gave 789 mega
tive answers to 1877 in the affirm
ative.
1t will be recalled by those who
are keeping in touch with political
tendencies that the progressive re-
publicans in both the house and sem
ate sought to keep the republican
majority in congress from enacting
this measure without further modi-
fications, but their efforts proved
unavailing. 1t is surprising that
such little notice should have been
taken of the protests of such brainy
men as Dolliver, Beveridge, Bristow,
Cummins, Murdoch, Norris and 9TH
ers who sought to make the tariff
bill conform to prediction promises.
In commenting on the special cleo
tion held recently in Massachusetts,
in which a normal republican ma
jority of more than 5000 was con-
verted into a democratic majority of |
more than 1,400, the Post-Intelli-l
gencer says that it will rot do to at
tribute this change to the influence
of issues of minor moment. 1t says.
"a larger meaning must be read /
into the result. Electors of the
Fourteenth Massachusetts district
have said to the republican party.
aud to the country, that tariff rates
must be still further redcued; that
these rates are still too high on ar
ticles of common use, and that the
American people are paying more
than they ought to pay for the food
they eat and the clothes they wear.

Gratis: Foss believes in the soundnessI
of the principle underlying the
American protective system; and he

tionists. by men who agree with him
on the underlying principle OF the
protective policy, but who have been
convinced. as he has been convinced,

lions. that certain tariff rates arel
still too high, and that the cost OF
living has been forced up to an alb

BEN LOMOND, May 26.-Almost as
a voice from the grave came an offer
today from Jack Munroe to join the
training forces at the camp of James
j. Jeffries and assist in putting the
former champion in shape for his fight
with Jack Johnson on the national hol-
iday. Munroe is the Butte miner who,
after an exhibition match with the
then champion in the Montana city,
met Jeffries in San Francisco for the
worlds championship and was prompt
ly knocked out in the second round.
The letter in which Munroe Volun-
teers was written in the former miners
home on the Bouladerie islands, Cape
Breton, n. S. Munroe is so anxious to
help that he agrees to pay his own
railroad fare and defray all of his own
expenses while in the Jeffries camp.
Manager Sam Berger, acting for JEFF
fries. replied to the letter today, eX-
pressing thanks but gracefully declin-
ing the helping hand.
Jeffries' morning jaunt on the road
was the extent on his toll today. He
had planned to box six fast rounds,
but he did not awaken from his siesta
this afternoon until O'clock and then
he announced that further eXertions
would be postponed until tomorrow.
Most of Jeffries work will be in the
morning tomorrow, so that the big
fighter can leave Ben Lomond on the
afternoon train for San Francisco,
where he will give an exhibition box
ing show tomorrow night. Trainer
Cornell, Joe Choynski and Jack JEFF
fries will accompany him. 1t is pos
sible that James j. COrbett will arrive
in time to join Jeffries at the pavilion.
Corbett will be with the party when
they return to camp. When Jeffries
received his telegram today he said:
"Now you'll see some fun when Cor
bett and l start boxing"
Jeffries holds Corbett in high regard.

Joe Woodman Gets Back from the
East and Says Sam May Not
Meet Native Son

Joe WoOdman, manager of Sam
Langford, arrived yesterday from New
York with his black wonder and is
prepared to stick around Los Angeles
until late in the summer if yer Uncle
Tom can keep him busy. This will be
no trick at all, as Los Angeles is as
full of fighters just now as a hog bed
is full of heas.
Regarding the announced match be
tween Langford and Kaufman,
Woodman says that the match has
not been made yet, and that if Nc
Carey has anything nice to offer here
the scrap will not be considered for
a while yet. He wants to take on the
winner of the Burns-Ferguson fight
here, and would like to get Tommy
Burns and Stanley Ketchel for Los An
geIes dates. This is more like home to
Woodman and Langford than any
where else on earth, and both are a
bit hard to entice away from the sunny
