THE PEARY PROMOTION.

We see that the House committee has
been fully persuaded that Commander
Peary reached the north pole, and that
IT IS ready TO have him promoted to the
grade of rear admiral in the navy as
his reward for that achievement. The
country, we believe, will support the
house IN this. measure, and will hope
for the promotion Of Commander Pearv
as proposed.
There has really been little doubt
since the time that Commander Peary
first announced his discovery of the
north pole that he had actually discov-
cred it. When he submitted his proofs
10 the Geological Society of America
and those proofs were found satisfac-
tory by that body, whatever lingering
doubt may have remained was dissi-
pated, because there was really no
ground upon which to harbor any fur
tber doubt. When Commander Pearv
made public his journals and told in
narrative form of his daily progress. of
hIs observations, and especially when
he explained his elaborate preparations
for his campaign in quest Of the pole,
and how the plans were carried out, the
public was altogether convinced
There is but one further step that
Commander Peary might take to make
assurance doubly sure. a step which
was suggested by Admiral Schlcy, and
which would forever silence every cavil
and remove all possible doubt from the
world. it is possible that some of the
sayants of Europe may still have some
suspicion rs TO Commander Pcary's
achievement. To dispel that doubt. alb.
and forever, Commander Pcarv
would need to do nothing except what
Admiral Schlcv proposes. namely, sub
INIT his proofs to the University at Co
penhagen, which made such short work
of DR.. Cook s claim. We have not the
least doubt that Commander Peary could
fully convince these learned men Of
Denmark of the validity of his proofs.
Why not then. in order to remove from
every part of the world all possible
doubt, submit his proofs to the Univer-
sity at Copenhagen and get convinc-
ing and final verdict in his favor?

CARNEGIE ON THE DEPRESSION.

There is sharp criticism in the East
of Mr.. Carnegie's recent gift of SlO,-
! 600, 200 TO serve ihe cause Of peace.
Those who criticise call attention TO the
fact that lie made his immense fortune
in part by making and selling war ma
| tcrlal 10 the Government. This criti-
! cism, it appears. has touched Mr.. Car
ncgle on the quick, and in a recent
speech he explained his connection with
the armor plate business, declaring that
he was travelling in Scotland when he
received from the then Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. Benjamin +. Tracy, the
following cablegram:
The President considers IL YOUR duty to
enter into the manufacture OF armor 10
equip the ships now on stocks and save
your country.
Mr. Tracy confirms Mr. Carnegie in
this, saying that he did send this dis
patch; so that much is settled. But

son, from 1880 to 1898 What was
there during that period that could
possibly call for demand like this
upon Mr. Carnegie, or upon anyone
else? What destruction threatened the
country, and from what was it TO be
saved! 1t is true there was little
sulphur touched off in our affair with
Chill during that administration. but
surely the United States did not need
to be "saved " from any assault that
a comparatively insignificant power
like Chill could deliver. The mystery
deepcns the more it is explained. Presi.
dent Harrison was not a man given to
Mysteries, or likely to give way to
panIcs or undue fears; so why should
he think the country on the brink of

he should defend himself on the charge

RECESS APPOINTMENTS

The bill introduced by Senator
Stookey on Friday, providing that nom
inces for office proposed by the Gov
ernor and rejected by the Senate, shall
not be eligible to recess appointment
is one that decidedly ought to pass. 1t
surely is an anomaly in civic procedure

ernor : nominations for office must be
submitted to the Senate for confirma,
tion, and then, when the Senate refuses
TO confirm, TO have the Governor make
these same appointments after the Sen.
ate adjourns.
To the nept suggestion that Mr.
Stookey's bill is unconstitutional, the
overwhelming reply is that the appoint,
ment OF persons rejected by the Senate
TO office after the Senate ad diourns. is
far more violatlve of the spirit of the
constitution than this bill could possibly
be. For it is not bill in any way
seeking TO abridge the appointive power
on the part of the Governor. On the
contrary, it recognizes that power fully:
1t merely seeks TO give effect to the
constitutional provision, that the Sen
ate is the confirmatory power, and that
when 1t refuses TO confirm, the ap.
pointee should not have the office.
The principle is as plain as day; the
constitution requires that the Govern
or s appoIntees shall be confirmed by
the Senate. Undoubtedly the Senate
has the right to refuse such confirma.

ought to end the matter, and logically
The constitution should be so construed

doubtedly conferred upon the Senate
and TO stop the vicious practice of put

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR

of liquid containing soluble ingredients

THE AMENDMENT NECESSARY

The Tribune has it upon acceptable
authority that it is the rapid growth
OF sentiment throughout the country in
favor of an amendment to the National
Constitution that has brought about the
recent ecclesiastical activity against
new polygamy in the dominant church
here.
There may be some reason in this
view, as there is evidence which tends
TO confirm it. The work OF discipline
as against new polygamists was begun
shortly after the present agitation in
favor Of an amendment bringing such
o6'enscs under Federal control began.
II may be that it is the purpose of the
church leaders to make such showing
as they can refer to as Indicating their
sincerity upon this subject, aud by rca-
son of which they may argue that an
amendment to the National Constitu-
tion would become unnecessary. But
the showing is altogether insufficient,
The Tribune has printed the names Of
two hundred and thirty three new
polNgamouS offenders, IN no instance
among which has there been any
denial. We have repeatedly asserted
that this number does not represent
more than ten per cent Of the total.
were they all known. There has been
no attempt to dispute this presented
estimate. There have been but seven
cases in which discipline mas been ex
erted by the Mormon church. one of
these being for the performance of
plural marriage ceremonies.
The percentage of ecclesiastical pun.
ishment is clearly too small to fit the
percentage of polygamous crime. To
be effective. much better showing
must be made, and that right soon.
The amendment is growing in favor
daily,
