itILL A HP'S LETTER. TIKKD OF POL1 I'IOAIj DISCUSSION AND BRANCIIKS OFF. Be Talks of Naasen and tho Pol# and the New Photographic Method. Everybody is thinking about tho north pole and Dr. Nansen now. It is glorious to have something to distract our atteution from politics. And there are the cathode rays that bavo come just in time to help out. It is awful to have to read politics day nfter day ami to ponder over tho ways of parties and partisans. A quail a day for thirty days is nothing to bo compared to it. Let us have any sort of a recess now. We wouldent mind a big fire or a small earthquake?a quako that would shake tho windows in tho big bouse at Washington and upset a few desks and tables and roll the drunken member from Alabama off the sofa. I wish some Guy Fuwkes would come along and :;curo them ali so l>ad that they would go homo aud never go back uny more. Tho people are tired and disheartened. Th'^eare a few good public si rvatit* there, but they are lost and helpless. The majority would see the country go to the devil before tin y would get out of the liue of their party. The currency and tho tariff arc not party questions, but tho parties have nindo them so. This has litt ii said befort l?nt it is worth saying again. There is no moral principle that governs a professional politician. jLook at Blackburn and Hunter?what aa t xpeiibe to the state will the taxpay ! ~ have to no el jtist to gratify the greed or the stilish ambition of two nion. Kentucky lina hundreds of men just as able aud wall qualified as thoy are Then whj don't they withdraw at u :op all tin ir wrangle. Why don't tlx numbers make tuoin withdraw. Tii aii.-wa r i- teat tliia is polities? unt 11: and complex polities. Surely tlx. e... inon pei pie are fools or they would soud betti r men to eon gin ss Htul to the legislature. But I was thinking about 1 >r. KanHen and the north pole. Can it be possible that he has found it ? found the end of the earth- the very tip end of the spindb that the earth turns on, ml was then a lineh pin in it, and was the axle greased, or was the j iirnal hot. aud did the sparks fly and so fort h. If the doctor lenient fou;:<l anything imt an op< 11 polar eea and a few wulrusi s and seals, and no big, awful futck hole at the center, that had liked to lave pulled his VtK-el in them, he may go back aud try it. again.
