Until It Is Established.
Apropos the recent assertion of the
editor of The Argus in the announce j
nient oi his canaiaacy ior m.- uem..
cratic nomination for Congress in this;
district that the tariff will be the par
amount issue in the campaign of 1910
we take from the current number oi
"The National Monthly" the following
review of the tariff situation:
"No time need now be lost by Dem
'ocratic committees in organizing foi
the congressional campaign next year
The lessons of this special session oi
Congress have not been wasted upoi
the people nor upon tbe Democracy
and the result of this acquired knowl
edge ought to be abundantly mani
fested in the returns of the coming
congressional election. The people
expecting a gain by reason of the sup
port accorded the Republican ticket
in the last election are doubly disap
pointed in the severe loss they hav
been called upon to suffer. Not only
the Republican party failed to grant
relief from the oppressive features ol
the Dingley act, but the consumer has
been lucky to escape from more op
pressive measures all along the line
"Wjherever the tariff has been revised
on points of immediate contact witt
the average man a marked increase
in the items of his daily expense witt
one or two exceptions has been ef
fected. "The people were promised that the
tariff would he revised downward
The rumbling of discontent and ina
bility to live satisfactorily under the
old order of things told of a tarit
revolution to come, and with the ap
proach of the Presidential contest the
tariff pledge was made. For years
the Democracy had advocated a revi

can party took full responsibility for
this measure. The Western branch of
the party declines to accept that re
sponsibility and a split is created
which can not easily be healed. The
party leaders, however, having suffi
cient votes to force the measure
through were in no mood to take
counsel from the Western associates.
They have established for the infor
mation of the American people that a
tariff revised by its friends is a tariff
revised for the enemies of the masses,
and when the voters again are given
an opportunity to act it is not to be
expected they will quietly accept this
measure. Those who are responsible
for the acceptance of the Payne-Al-
drich bill have their hands full at the
coming election. All of which is as it
should be."

The dream of finding the ntrth pole
, .
has for centuries lured explorers, sci-
entists and daring adventurers. This
dream apparently has now become a
reality by the achievement of Dr.
Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn. Dr.
Cook cabled a laconic message from I
Lerwick, Shetland Islands, whence
he is proceeding to Copenhagen."
Several days must now elapse be
fore any further information is avail
able. The Danish government's
steamer Hans Egede has' left Lerwick,
Shetland Islands, bound for Copen

day. Meantime, the ship skirts the
Danish coast, passing several small

Some of the most recent or note
worthy attempts to reach tbe north
pole are enumerated below:
Walter Wellman, an American, left
the island of Spitzbergen for the pole
in a balloon, August 15, 1909. His
airship became disabled after he had
traveled thirty miles, . and he was
forced to return. I
In 1906 Commander Robert E.
Peary, United States navy, reached to
about 203. miles fronxitb pole. Com
mander Peary is now in tha polar re
gions on another expedition. A relief
ship was sent out a month ago to en
deavor to pick him up. He started
from Sydney, N, S July 17. 1908,
On September 3, 1909, Capt. Roal D.
Amundsen, a Norwegian, completed
the first voyage through he north
west passage. He left Chrisfiania on
the Gjoa, June 17, 1903, and arrived
at Herschel Island in the Arctic ocean
in September of 1905.

.
In the same year Anthony Fiala, a
young Brooklyn explorer, sailed on
the ship America and proceeded fur-
ther north than the Duke of Abruzzi.
His party endured great hardship be-
fore they were rescued.
The Duke of Abruzzi made his ex-

In 1895, Dr. Nansen reached 86 de-
grees, 14 minutes on the vessel Fram,
which left Ingor

1893.
Professor Andree made ' his fatal
balloon trip in 1897. He left Tromsoe,
Norway in his balloon, the Eable,
bound for the pole. Since his depar

of Professor Andree.
