[American Economist. } If Commissioner Peck’s statistics are “absurd,” “ridiculous” and “beneath the notice of thinking men,” as Free-Traders have claims. ed, why do they deem it necessary to appoint a committee of Investi- gation and invoke the aid of the law for the parpose of examining them? Why all this hubbub to cearow so palpable an absurd- ity When the result of the McKinley duties on competing farm products has already been to make the home market worth over $26,000,000 more than 1t was before, would not our farmers be fools indeed, did they vote for a party that passed the Mills bill, in which the duties on these products were all either uy reduced or entirely abolish- The benefits resulting from free suger, says the Cobdenite. furnish ap argument in favor of Free-Trade not of Protection. Why then does Henry Waterson, the Great Free Trader, say that the first thing that the Democrats will do when they get the power is to abolish the “atrocious Republican sugar bounty system and restore the sugar duties?” Are taxed tea, coffee and sugar going to lighten the burdens al- leged to rest on the shoulders of the “plain people”? Is it not strange that by com- mon consent of campaign-equip- ment mauufacturers the emblem of the Republicans in the present campaign is the American flag, while the Democrats are forced to content themselves with no flag whatever? With the home market for cot- ton growing more valuable every year, as theresult of the expan- sion of our. cotton manufacturing indastry, why should Southen cot- ton growers vote for Free~Trade? When Lord Salisbary deplored the fact that England could get no concessions from other nations be~ cause sbe had “nothing to give,” did be have in mind that reciproc- ity was a “humbug?” Is not a policy of increasing competing imports a policy of de- creasing employment in our own workshops, and therefore, of tak- ing the bread out of the mouths of our own workingmen? Was not James Madison right when he said that ‘the national interest requires that, with respect to such articles at least as belong to our defence and our primary wants, we should not be left in un- necessary dependence on exter- nal supplies?” And has not the preseut Cholera scare, which may result iu absolutely stopping com- merce with European nations, more than ever proved the wisdom and foresight of that great Demo- cratic Protectionist ?

The reunion of the Army of the ! James was a great feature of the j encampment. 1t was in this army that many of our troops seut their names aud deeds into history, proudly and to glory for ever more. A colored comrade, in address— ing the “tent” used the language as be termed it, of the Army of the James. i From the everglades of Florida to the shadow of Richmond’s spires our colors have been borne aloft in the storm of battle. Beloved com- rades fell on every field; blood. stained paths of wrecked aud muti- lated patriots lead over many a bill and dale, through forest and morass beside the smiling river and along the desolate coast. Whitened boves mingled -with the mysteries of ocean depths; glistening head stoves, in the quiet National Cem- eteries, mark the last resting place of many a comrade. Time has mercifully softened many of the asperities of war, bat Eternity alone will suffice in which to re~ member the glorious aim and the righteous ending. So, let us all meet once more, that we may look again into faces once so famaliar; feel again the clasp of the hand that had so wach meaning in those far-off war- like times; hear again, in gentle tones, those well-remembered voices that were wont to ring out|y the stern orders, or utter the firm Siero Re No. 16 THEY SAY, Madame Sisieretta Jones is the greatest of the age. She carried off the laurels at the concert last week. Madame ‘Selika was brought to the city to knock out Madame Jones, but, the people say that Madame Jones was the queen of the night. itis not everything that can manage a concert. Fools get the big head at times and forget that they are human. Disappointments are for us all. Don’t be uneasy when yon are doing right. The theif always fears each bush or officer. The people are unanimous in their opinion that Madame Jones is the greatest singer in the United States. if you put an ignorant negro in & position he will soon disgrace it.

A Northern Boundary to Greenland Pos- itively Located. The relief steamer Kite, with the Peary Arctic party on board, arrived in Phila- delphia during the past week. A very enthusiastic reception was given the ex- ploring and relief parties. Lieutenant Peary was interviewed in regard to the results of his expedition. “What have you to say about the suc- cess of your trip?” he was asked: “Well, I think I may safely say that we accomplished all thet we set out to do,” was the answer. “We have done much that will be of great value to science, but really it is a difficult matter to say just what has been accomplished until we get a chance to look around us and get settled.” In going over the matter further the Lieutenant pointed out that the most im- portant work accomplished by the expe- dition was of course the discovery of the great bay named Independence Bay, on the northeast coast of Greenland, and the practical outlining of the entire northern coast of Greenland, settling once and for all the vexed question as to whether Greenland stretched across the pole in a frozen continental mass ornot. Green- land, as the map now will show, is a great island reaching from its present known position to a little above the eighty-third parallel of latitude. “The upper part of Greenland,” said Lieut. Peary,“is very much like ita southern end. The ice cap ends south of Victoria Fjord and the izainland mass does not stretch very much farther north, ‘The north and northeastern coast is bor- dered with islands until you come to the great bay I discovered in latitude 82 de- grees 34 minutes. Of course it will take me some time to reduce my observations and data, and correctly map the coast, but there fs no question as to the north- ern boundary of Greenland and its ex- tent. Independence Bay is a very large bay, just how large I can not now say, On its southern shore a great glacier protrudes and after running to the north- east on the mofth the coast runs to the northwest, toward the highest north dis- covered by Lockwood in 1882.” The Lieutenant is confident that his work will almost revolutionize, as it were, the geography of northeastern Greenland, which is a region mapped out with but little accuracy. What the Lieutenant did for geography ina great way the Peary relief party, under Pro- fessor Heilprin, did in a smail way at various points along the coast, from Cape Sumarez as far as Kane Basin. The maps were found to be very unreliable and much data was gathered that will put a new face on the coast after the re- sults of the work of the two parties is published. Both Lieutenant Peary and Professor Heilprin regard the discover- ies made as most important and of no small value to other departments of science as well as adding to the world’s geographical knowledge. : Lieutenant Peary was asked what he thought about another trip being made with the object of pushing further north. He said: “ That, of course, is not g ques- tion for me to answer, although there is no doubt in my mind but that it gould be done. I am quite ready and willing to make another trip if Iam sent and feel confident that I can push on much fur- ther north than we went this time, As soon as possible I shall report at Wash- ington and shall then return and prepare my report for the Academy of Natural Sciences.” The collection that has been brought back from Greenland is of incalculable value, and is absolutely perfect. It includes everything that can be of the slightest scientific importance. Among the most interesting articles it contains is a set of Esquimau toys, which are al} madeof ivory. Thege, for the most part, are rude carvings of deer, walrus, seals, oarwhals, etc., and though exceedingly rough, can be readily distinguished, Then there are suite of Esquimau cloth- ing, of which habit the shirts form the most curious portion. An Esquimau shirt is made of the skins of the little auk,a bird no larger than a sparrow; the trouble that the construction of one of them necessitates can readily be imagined, Then, besides specimens ready for mounting, of the reindeer, polar bear, narwhal, walrus, fox, hare, eté., are but- terflies (some larger than bate), juimau knives, which are constructed entirely of ivory, weapons, cooking uten dogs, sleds, spears, and soon almost 4d infini- tum. Suicide of Two Brothers, Garfield and Leo Van Arnam, aged re- spectively 11 and 15 years, left home about one mile north of Greig, Lewis County, N. Y., to go to their grand- father’s. They crossed Black River ina boat, and on their return to the Greig side Garfield accidentally shot his brother with a revolver which they had. Leo obtained possession of the revolver and shot his brother, and then both | voys committed suicide by jumping in the river. A Terrible Typhoon. Particulars have been received at San Francisco by the steamer Belgic from Yokohama of a destructive typhoon hat swept over the Linkju Islandsin the Loosho group. Nearly 5,000 buildings were either destroyed or damaged, 60 junks were wrecked, and a large num- ber of sailors who are mi are sup- posed tohave béen drownéd, About a third of the crops have been rendered useless, 3 GEN. JOHN POPE DEAD. fe was = Gallant Soldier and Conducted . the Campaign in Virginia. Gen. John Pope died at the Soldiers’ Home in Sandusky, Ohie, on Friday last His brother-in-law, Gen. Manning M Force, was at his bedside. Gen. Pope was born in Louisville, Ky., March 16, 1828, and graduated from West Point in 1842. He served in Florida for the two years following and assisted in the survey of the east boundary. He took part in the Mexican war and distinguished himself for bravery at Mon- terey. In 1849 he conducted the Minne sota exploring expeditien, demonstrating that the Red River could be navigated. He had charge of the survey of the route of the Pacific railroad, near the thirty- second parallel. When Sumter was fired on he was commissioned one of the offi- cers to escort Lincoln to Washington, He was made Brigadier-General May 17, 1861, and placed in charge first of the Northern and then of the Southwestern and Central Departments of Missouri. His most iinpvituui eugagement in this department was that of Blackwater, Dec. 18, 1861. He co-operated with Ad. miral Foote’s flotilla against New Madrid and Islan.i No. 10. He was rewarded for the capture of New Madrid by a com- mission as Major-General of Volunteers. As commander of the Army of the Mis- sissippi he did brilliant work, and was then assigned to the command of the Army of Virginia. On July 14, 1862, he was commissioned Brigadier-General in the regular army. In August, for fifteem days, Gen. Pope fought continuously @ superior force of the enemy under Gen. Robert E. Lee, on the line of the Rappahannock at Bristow Station, at Groveton and other points. Gen. Pope withdrew behind Difficult Creek, fell back within the fortifications of Washington, and on Sept. 8 was at hig own request relieved of the command of the Army of Virginia. He was then assigned to the Department of the Northwest, where he checked the out- rages of the Minnesota Indians. After- wards he was given charge of the Mili- tary Diviston of Missouri. He was in command of different military districte in the South and of departments in the West, and was brevetted Major-General, March 18, 1865. He was advanced to the full rank, Oct. 26, 1883. Gen. Pépe wae the author of several military books, A Fatal Panto, Five congregations, numbering more than a thousand persons, were celebrat- ing the second day of the Hebrew New Year last Friday in the brick building, No, 97 Ludlow street, New York, for- merly occupied as a tenement. A can- dle used in worship set fire to the drap- ery on an altar and there was an. insig- nificant blaze. Then came a panic, which extended to the other congrega- tions. The only means of egress was through narrow halls and down a steep stairway, which quickly became blocked from floor to ceiling with a struggling mass of humanity. Four dead bodies were pulled out on the sidewalk and vleven persons were taken to Governeur Hospital. The lise of the injurad will probably never be correctly known. Thirty or forty people with broken arms or legs hebbled to their homes, or were assisted by friends. The dead were taken to the Eldridge street police station for (dentification. They were all women.

A dispatch has been received at Ot awa from London from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, stating that the imperial authorities confirm the position saken by the Canadian government in declining to grant copyright to the citi- zens of the United States in the terms of Mr. Blaine’s contention, which was based ‘pon the verbal assurance of Lord Salis- bury that they would be entitled tocopy- right all of the Queen’s dominions, over- iooking the fact that the Canadian stat- ute only confers that right upon citizens of acountry having a copyright treaty with Great Britain. The fact that nc such treaty exists is the backbone of the Canadian contention. A Great Pest of Frogs. A pest of frogs came upon the town of Little Falls, Minn , last week. For days the streets and sidewalks were covered with them, so that it war almost impossible to keep from stepping on the slimy creatures. A train on the Little Falls and Dakota Road was de layed two hours on account of them, The frogs were so thick on the track that nundreds were crushed, and the rails became slippery. The reptiles all went in a northwesterly direction; hardly « one could be seen going any other way. w= ca!
