' H ministration. He sees the Chicago candl- I ' 1 date in tho true light. He feels that Mr. j f ' BRYAN speaks voraciously when ho declares ' j a "I am not a Democrat." He knows that I , 9 tho young Ncbraskan U a Populist through p j" if and throdgh, whose Democracy has been r f r put on. like the disguise of a thief in the : j; .

'" E IS')! -A year ago a ini'iiiber of TlIU Sus's staff lUrl "t down in London with Mr S. A AxuiiEE, " S IB il Wl'' perIlHl,s' 'H n'"v '" 'iiitlalr over the jt '. l, Arctic regions, to help him complete his ' ' III' 'I list of Anieriean explorers who might give ?$ -ill' him useful information alraut the caches of iffi I !ffl tood sui'Pli thut an' scattered here and r ilU there Ur t!'e 'l,ctic nlul sub-Arctic K M , domain. We have rend of the extreme care j E i il V'lth which he planned his equipment aud K I II tested every item in it H:s linbit of thor- W ' ll I U I"1,"fi,nklnK was most clearly shown I K llfli In the little detail of writing names and ad-I KJ MS dresses in his note book. He pimiouuced aaU the letters of every wonl as he wrote tliem. i aaV He read the list aloud and then asked the . ' 8H American to look it ovrr " It is so easy to I B'' make a mistake," he said, "ami a mistake H t might cost me so much." : l There were learned men in the Geographi- ' H' cal Congress he was attending who severely IB criticised his idea of exploring the polar H area in a balloon. There were others who : m merely laughed at it. But he left the Con- IH gresa withthe respect of every man in It- fV n 9kl'le ud a icluulfic man, a well BaaaatlLaaw as a most successful aeronaut. He bad an answer worthy of consideration for every criticism that followed the reading of his paper Whether the attack was upon his main Idea or the details of his plan, whether the criticism was based upon meteorological or other scientific data, theoretically AX Dlir.E was able to hold his ground. No ono there had studied every pro and con as he had done. He was not discomfited In the discussion; his faith was not shaken at a single point; nnd, though his opponents In that distinguished gathering were not con vinced of the wisdom of his project, they respected the man, they admired his attain ments and enthusiasm, and they saw him in an unexpected light. From the stand point of science itself he had edified them. He had spoken the best word that could be said in favor of Arctic ballooning. It is because ANIMtEE himself Inspires con fidence that the most cautious geographical societies nnd the leading authorities on aero nautics have spoken respectfully of his proj ect as a legitimate and possibly a useful method of extending our knowledge of the Arctic regions. There havo been other proj ects of the sort, but they have never met the same reception. Four years ago the young Frenchmen, Bissaxo and Hermite, planned to start for the North Pole In n bal loon, but they could not raise the funds they needed In the faco of a storm of criti cism. There was much applause in the Paris Aeronautic Society when the Presi dent advised the young men to desist, and told them there was not ono chonco In a thousand that they could succeed. Probably nine out of every ten persons In all Scandinavia share Axdiife's faith that ho will come safely homo after a long and successful air voyage over the Arctic area. His air ship is freighted with tho high hopes of his countrymen. Every dollar of the very large sum ho needed was raised more than nyeor before he Balled for Spltzbergen. Dr. Naxsev, ono of AXDRtE'S best friends. said, l)efore the Hoyal Geographical Society In 1SSI2, that he thought it very probable the North Polo some day would be reached by balloon. All the world wishes Axdree well, but nobody knows, unless Axiiree, hlmhelf, has already learned, what the outcome will be. We have scarcely more knowledge of the wind currents of those vast regions than Naxsf.X had of the sea current he hoped would waft his ship northward. A single moment of misfortune may blast the undertaking. There are critical factors in the problem that AxUHEB can test only in the air nbove the frozen zone. May he not cross the Pole and never catch a glimpse of land or ice-covered sen in those regions of fog and mist f When Peart was travel ling on the ice cap 8,000 feet nbove the sea, n stick stuck in the snow was often thickly covereil with frost crystals in a few min utes. If they also coat AXUREE's immense spread of cloth how will it affect the buoy ancy of his balloon ! These are examples of scores of questions that actual experience alone can answer. It can only be hoped that tho daring explorer will achieve the great success that is fully merited by his courage, long study, enthusiasm, nnd fnith. Silver Dollars and SUrcr Bullion. A " Reader of THE Sux " asks us to ex plain why, since tho silver dollars now in circulation are at par w ith gold, they would not continue to be at par with gold under unlimited silver coinage. He thinks that they would, because, as he says, the proior tlon of the world's production of sliver to that of gold is less now than it was in 1873. Our friend, if he reads The Sux at all, which we doubt, has evidently read it very carelessly. We have repeatedly explained that the silver dollars now in existence re main at par witli gold because they are limited in quantity, and becauso the Gov ernment receives them at par in payment of duties and revenue taves. Hence, no body is compelled to sell them nt a dis count, and they are everywhere accepted at their face value. If the coinage of them was made free and unlimited, the country would be flooded with them, and they would become worth no more than the bullion they contain. They would, in fict, be noth ing but bullion in tho form of coin, since eery ounce of silver bullion in the world would bo conertible into our dollars at pleasure, and free of expense. As to the proportion between the produc tion of gold and that of silver in the world, we have also repeatedly explained that this proportion does not govern tho comparntho value of the two metals, any more than the proportion of the production of Indian corn to that of wheat governs tho comparntUe value of those two cereals, or that of the production of iron to that of copper regu lates the comparative value of iron and cop per. As a matter of fact, the quantityof silver now produced in the world is nine teen times as great as that of gold, whereas in 1873 it was only eleven tunes as great. We take this occasion to say further, that whoever desires to bo informed and enlight ened on the silver question, and on all ques tions, should read THE Sux, not once in a while, but every day, and not carelessly, but diligently nnd studiously. Thus will he become a wiser, a happier, and, wo trust, a better man. How Women Mny Gain a Livelihood. In tho August number of the Forum, Mr. Edward Cauy undei takes to show that marriage is censing to be a necessity for women, because their opportunities of self support are Increasing. It is especially tho state of things in the United States which he hns In view, nnd this he examines in tho light which the census of 1800 casts upon the subject. There were formerly but three ways in which unmarried American women could hope to maintain themselves, namely, by domestic service, by sewing, or by some form of teaching. Mr. Cary nuints out that even in these old cbnnnels of employ ment tlii're has leen a change for thebctter, out of proportion to the increase of popula tion, For instance, more servants are em ployed, their duties are more specialized, and more skill and intelligence are required of them ; ou the other hand, the pay is bet ter, and a higher degree of comfort is as sured to them. The result is that the high est grades of domestic service scarcely de ; t-erve any longer the name of menial, and j are not unacceptable to some women who formerly would have regarded tboau only as a last desperate resource. Statistics in I dicate also thut for sewing women there has I been nn advance in ages, coincident with a mm kid decline in tho cost of the necessaries of life. If from so-called plain ewlng we turn to kind of needle work that exact dexterity, ingenuity, and tate, we find a noticeable increase in the number of things that sew Ing women can do, and get well paid for doing. Other modes of employment for women have beon created in connection with the business of providing feminine apparel. There are now Jn the United States many business houses which pay to women in rerfain positions related to the mttnu.ucture.Wd sale of clothing, a salary I rrirriiiriiiiwirnii'iiiiiii iiiiwiriiiiijriijii iiiiii ,inB. which forty years ago would havo supported a score of sewing women. As to the de mand for women as teachers, chiefly In tho public schools, this Is notoriously greater than the mere growth of population calls for. In nil but the highest grades tho teach ing function Is fast becoming monopolized by women, not only In this country, but in England as well. The capital feature of Mr. CART'S article is the proof that it affords of the develop ment of new employments for women. Es pecially noteworthy Is the increase in tho number of women employed In shops, nt the sales counters of department stores, or ns cnshlers nnd bookkeepers, stenographers, nnd typewriters, in general business and the professions. Tho census shows that In 1S8U the number of saleswomen was 7,74 1 ; tvn years later it was r8,-UD. The number of women bookkeepers nnd accountants in 1880 was but 2,305; in lSUOit was 27,772. In 18S0 there were only 1,047 women clerks and copyists; there were 04,018 at tho end of the decade. In 18b0 no record was made by the census of the women stenographers and type writers; of theso in 1800 there were 21, 18S, ngainst 12,148 men engaged in the same calling. There has llkcwlso been during tho last ten years a rcmarkablo How of women to the vocations of author, artist, musician, musio teacher, nurse, and mid wife. To begin with tho last-named voca tion, there were 01,403 women nurses and mldwlves in 1SU0, against 14,422 in 18S0. In 1800 there were 34,510 women musi cians and music teachers, while there had been but 10,182 in 1880. The last census recorded 10,810 women artists and teach ers of art, against only 2,001 registered ten years before. Finally, the number of women authors, which in 1880 was but 820, had risen in 1800 to 2,735, or, in other words, was nearly nine times larger. To guard against extravagant deductions from these data, Mr. CARY points out that in all tho gainful occupations taken to gether women represented but 17 per cent, of the total number employed, ns against 15 per cent, ten years before. It follows that only to n slight extent, If the whole field of lucrathn work be considered, had womHU succeeded in displacing men during the decade under review. Still a certain amount of progress in this direction was made, and to this extent tho necessity of resorting to marriage as a means of sup port may be said to have been diminished.

All success to tho Ttmci tindt r its new manageirent '. The Cose of tho Cm in. The decision of the Hnlita" court which confiscates the Gloucester schooner Fred erick Geering. Jr , seems to be another in stance of carrjing law and fncts to their utmost, against our Yankee lishi-ruicn, on the part of our Dominion neighbors. There is no doubt thata vessel not licensed or otherwise nuthoriri'd to fish within the marine league, commits an offence agmist local laws, nnd that the severe penalty of condemning the ship ami her contents is one which the Government has n right to im pose. But in the case of the Gearing there was n dispute as to whether she was within tho thres-milo limit, and, ns wo recall the accounts of the affair originally given, she" hud recohed assurances shortly before her seizure that she was outside the line. In answer to the allegation that she had meanwhile moved nearer in, the de fence declared that this was done, if at all, while hauling her net aboard, after drop ping it outside the limit. But the Cana dian court held that "the crew were as much engaged in an illegal act In taking fish out of the net insldo of the three-mile limit, ns if they were from the first inside " This extreme interpretation recalls tho clnim insisted on in former cars that getting ready to fish while within the three mile limit, without nctual flshitig, was a transgression of the law. In like manner, the confiscation of the hapless Gloucester schooner seems to be an instance of extend ing British restrictions over the other end of the act of fishing. "Ail pissiblo viola tions," said the Court, "should be care fully guarded against and punished." Tho Geering's uct may be considered ns a "possible" iolation of the law, if the prosecution's view of tho law and the facts istsken; and accordingly her owner receUcs tho extreme, penalty awarded to an unques tioned and intentional violation of the law. nnd. unless this judenunt is set aside In- higher authority, he is to lost- his ship, Our American fishermen will do well to act on the assumption that, in whatever may secmt question of doubt tiDotitthe law, John Bill will take the benefit of tho doubt, nnd, if possible, confiscate the ship. American Sailors for tltn American No y. A vigoro.is and generally successful effort hasbeenmadeby Secretary of the Navy HER BERT to restore to the American navy its for mer national character by the employment of American seamen in plme of mariners recruited from various European countries and from Canada. These foreign tailors have len attracted to the American navy by the promise of larger pay than is offered by other Governments. Under a law passed by Congress, upon tho recommendation of Secretary HtmiMiT, tho naturalization of sailors without the formal ity of residing on shore was authorized under certain conditions. Since this law went into operation the Secretary has begun his policy of enlisting as many Americans as possible, and the foreign element Is gradually disappearing from our rtnvy. Sailors aii Amcr.cju shins are litter paid BSgw-ft-n-rot, JiaiaH1 " ' hhiiiiliii I' than any others; Italian sailors havo the poorest pay Yet Italy stands fourth among nations In respect of the number of seamen emplojcd In commerce, England being first, the United States second, and Norway nnd Sweden third. Originally, nnd for man 3'enrs beforo the Introduction of steam ships, the Yankee sailors from New England towns and tho Southern sailors from North and South Carolina and other sea board States made the navy of the United States famous and feared. Tho early his tory of our navy was a long succession of brilliant triumphs. Big guns, armor plates, and machinery have combined to reduce the importance of the Individual sailor. The stnmlard of compensation In tho navy continuing to 1k low, American seamen were not attracted to It; foreign born seamen took their places. Tho force bcame denationalized, so to ,sjenk ; and it is this condition which Secretary Heriiert is trying to change. Bear Admiral BEARPsLLE, commanding the Pacific stntion, is reported as declaring that the course adopted for recruiting for the ships only young American citizens as far ns possible has accumulated n largo body of excellent men, natives of the Pacific coast. When their terms of service have ex pired, he says, and they return to their homes, " there will be mingled with the poo pi o a very strong element of well-trained men who will undoubtedly join the naval militia." In this way, by the extension of naturalization, and br the es tablishment of restrictions upon tho em ployment of the subject of alien Govern ments who hnve their homns In other lands, it is designed to restore a national character to the American navy. Another aid to this is the naval militia now organized in fifteen of tho forty-the States, a force of 2,800 men, upon whom, in case of war, the protec tion of coasts and harbors, in default of ade quate fortification, will In part devolve. American seamen for Amuricau ships is a sound and patriotic policy. The measures recently adopted by Post master Dayton far the more prompt delivery of the foreign mnlls brought to this port are hlchly commendnb'e. The savins of time since tho new arraucnients went Into effect two or three weeks ni;o lis." already been advantageou! to the business Interests of the country.

In severnl respects Mr. Dattosi has Improved the local postal service) alnce he entered upon the duties of bis oSco. He Is a good Postmaster. One of the outrages for which the English are responsible in the Matnbele war Is. the murder of the chief priest In the acrd cave of the cod for the purpose of deatroylne tho belief of the natives In their religion by prov ing to them thai their gi d could not protect even hl oracle. Tin deltj-of theMatabeles and of many other African tribes Is known as ' 1 "Mollmo." who Is worshipped aa the Creulor of ' Life and as the All-Fa'her and All-Mother of , ' mankind. "The religion." says an Engllsh : man who has lived in Malabeleland, "l j I o living and an influencing religion," and it resembles In munj respects that of the ancient Phoenicians and Arabians, fro-n ' whom It seems to have be-en derived. ! Some time before the killing of the priestly I orncie an Kngllsbrain went to the sacred cave, mocks d Mollmn. curbed 1 .in, and swore at him. I to the horror of the natives. Yet the Christian missionaries 1 ave adopted the name of Mollmo i ns that of the iSoti of the Bible. I It seems to us that the Knglish In Matabele- j land are taking wrongful means to convince i the natives of the falsity of their religion. These natives say that they are fighting for i their god as well as for their rights. The value of the Immigrants from Italy who cotr.e hero In multitudes, and who now perform a very large part of the hard common labor required In this c.ty. performing ii well n-id faithfully. Is Immeasurable, The Italians in New York aro exceedingly laborious, and f-cir teady application to their duties consil iums the best reply to the often repeated asser tion that tho Italians are lary.

Aug. 10, The last Hepubllcan State Convention for tho nomination of Gov ernor of New York was held In Saratoga on Sept. 18, 1804, nnd over the deliberations of the delegates the Hon. Warner Milter of Herkimer-by-the-Canal presided with due sonorousness and solemnity. At that Conveutlon there were. In fact, four candidates for the Hepubllcan nom ination: Mr. Morton, easily the first choice of the great majority of the Republicans; Mr Bliss, a reluctant nominee, pressed for the honor by the Union League club contingent of local republicans: Mr. Roberts, tho civil service ohamplon, who had been elected State Treat, ureronthe ltopubllcan ticket the tvr Lefnre, and vrhi, prior to tho Convention, had tho sup port of the Erie county delegates: and, finally, the Hon. J. S. Fasaett, who does not change hit factional allegiance (o tho Piatt or the ami Piatt forces oflcner than twice In one day. Tho nomination of Mr. Morton was made with prac tical unanimity, and the wledoui of tho Hepub llcan leaders who first suggcutetl it was toon afterward abundantly vindicated by hit election by a plurality exceeding 100,000. This year's Hepubllcan Stato Convention for the nomination of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Court of Appeals JndRe the same offices as were to be filled In 18U4-auemb1esnt Saratoga, the same place, but nearly a month earlier than was the case two years ago. Gov. Morton, whose title to a cordial and enthusi astic renumlnatlon no Hepubllcan seems In clined to dispute, has. In a formal manner, de clared, though not Irrevocably, hit nnwllllng nea to be again a candidate, thereby leaving open to a score or more of ambitious Hepubllcan statesmen the race for an honor which, from a political point of view. Is most desirable tblt year, when every augury seems to be favorable to Hepubllcan aucccs In New York .State. The candidates now In ibe field, and whose friends are now ox have been active In the quest of delegates throughout the various ountlcs of the State, are these: George Washington Aldrldge of Hocbester, Superintendent of Public Works and dispenser of the canal appropriation-, an ex-Mavor of Rochester and a representative of that kind so odious to the mind of the professional re former, the practical politician: James A. Roberts of liuffalo. Mate Comptroller, a native of Maine, a graduate of Iiondiiln College, and a soldier in Uie Ninth Army Corps, a resident of liuffalo tines 1871, and an all-round antl organization, antl-uolltlclan. civil service. ' bet ter element Republican ;'" Hamilton llsh, an j alert man. loos the representative of the small est county in the State, the ton of a former ' Governor, and himself the speaker of the last I Assembly: Jamea W. Wadtworth of Geneeeo. a Republican Congressman from the Livingston county district, a I'hlladelnhlan by birth, a ' toldier In the civil war. a former member of Assembly who wat elected Comptroller of tho ' State, and served as such for two years. i These four candidates. Mr. Aldrldge. Mr. Rob erts, Mr. Fish, and Mr. Wadswnnn. constitute the a.-tlve quartet of candidates on the Re publican side who have made cr whose frlendt have made for them the most active effort! to secure tupporu There are. moreov er. of course, the usual number. If not a little more than the usual number, of qualified or condi tional candidates seeking al the hands of their Hepubllcan associates recognition as actual candidate. In this category : to be IniluiW . the Hon. Char.es T.

Ostensibly a candidate for Governor, hit friendt ore eellng to make snch a demonstration in his behalf as will secure his renomlnatlon for the office of Lieutenant-Governor, which ota erwl he might not be able to secure: ) for Mr. Saxton is. or it nppoed to be. an anil- I organization man " who doesn't takis orders i from 1'iatt." Hut It is not unreasonable to as. tume that If Senator I'latt had any order to give as the recoznized leader of the Repnb1 'can ' parly in New York he womd not giv tbem to Saxton o long aa his neighbor. Ralne-. ron.d he counted upon, a man of great celerity when political errands need attending to. or constitu tional questions need expounding. lia'nes and Sax:oti are residents of the same district, and both have had lone experience in the I.egis.a ture. Gen. Palmer of Albany, now Secretarv of State, has some supporters for the higher offlce of Governor, especially among the members of the order or the Grand Army of t'ie Republic, In which he 1 prominent, and there are Repub ! llcans who favor the nomination of former State Senator Francis Hendricks of Syracuse.

There has always been a scarcity of Danish silver at certain times of the year, owlnt; to tbe fact thnt the neighboring Island of St. Croix, it sugar producing and has imperative need for small chnngo to pay the laborers on the sugar plantations at crop-taking, time. Afterward, however, tho Danish silver In SL Thomas be comes more plentiful. Previous tolBTBthe supply of foreign tllver In St, Thomas wns so limited that It was prac tically at par With gold, but afterward the need for silver, coupled with the Indifference of the home Government nnd tho cupidity of ccitatn foreign merchants there who employed much labor, caused tin1 nppcarance of the Mexican silver dollar. At first It was freelr received at Par, no one Imagiuing how they woula Increase. Tho original iuipurlailon proved to very profit able to ihe Importer (the Mexican dollar being pushed on the wnrklmr or laboring class at full par value of 100 cents; that more and more was brought into the country In large and fre quent shipments. The result was that the dif ference In value ronn began to be felt, the dol lar began to be viewed with suspicion by every Intelligent business man. and soon five percent, discount vsas named on Mexican Mirer. The downward tendency wat rabid; more silver was Imported and little or none was exported. The 1 Island nf St. Crtux refused absolutelv to accept it at any rnt of discount, and In lstn. when the writer left St, Thomas, tbe Mexican dollar I was worth 00 cents in any of the abovecurrency I I have mentioned. In other words, the gold or . bank notes were at a premlnm of O'a per cent. It would bo reasonable lo sup po- that witn ' tllver at turn a discount the merchants would , stop Importing It. but the merchants did not , contemplate ulli'tnp'lng to use the si ver for i their foreign ludebtcdnes-. The silver was I for the ignorant negro laborer whe worked for $1 adaj .nl3T7.nl which time the dollar wat worth 100 cents fora'l hit purchases and debit. Main of ili-m then owned their little homes.
