Last year his route was several hundred miles wast} of mine. We are rivals, of course, but the pole is good enough for two. “That two men got to the pole along different paths,” continued the explorer, “should furnish large additions to scientific knowledge. Probably other parties will resch 1t in the next ten years, since every explorer is .helped} by the experience of his predecessors, just as Sverdrup’'s observations and reports were of immeéasurable help to me. .1 can say nothing more, withonll knowing further details, than that I am glad of it 2 : While Dr. Cook was conversing casually earlier in the day with Amer: ican friends the possibility of the de»i nourment which electrified the world was coughingly suggested, Dr. Cook} rémarked: It is quite possible that| Pegry will turn up now.

Honored by the King

If any evidence is needed to estabHsh Denmark’s valuation of Dr. Cook it can be found in the fact that he is to receive the two highest possible official tokens within its gift. The king is to confer on him the gold medal of merit with the crown, which only three other geographers, Nansen, Sven Hedin and Amundsen, are entitled to wear, and the Geographical society will bestow upon him its gold medal, which has been given to four other travelers only, Nansen, Capt. Scott, Hedin and Sverdrup.

A few figures will show that %ﬂm tarif! has done nothing whatever [0 promote the raising of shesp, but (that it has rather had the contrary %l&{hﬂ | % - L In 1840 we had 1900 (00 shesp, and %tmr popuistion was 170000, Thus thers waa | 12 aheep to every persan itn the next decsde the number of [sheep had (ncressed to 24,000 there wan then only 8 of & sheep to lthe person.

_These are government figures, and we suppose are trastworthy. If they are, they fail to show that sbeep cultar. has been stimulated by high daties. The little, if suything, that the sheep growers have made out of those duties has been more than eotnpeasated for by the high prices they have had to pay for all that they have bought. We trust that the farmers of the west, who arein revolt sgainst our present system have considered, or will consider this phase of the question. The duties on wool besides haviog had & depress. ing effect on'the sheep industry have forced the manufacturers to use chieap substitutes for wool — still further narrowing the market for the same commodity—and 8o have hiad the effect of greatly cheapening the quality of the clothes worn by our people. From every point of view, therefore, they are bad ' The farmers have beén fooled into believing that they made a lot of money out of them, and so believing, they have combined with the manulacturers of New Eongiand to keep up tariff, Now there is a split in the ranks of the wool growers. and we doubt whether those who are so diseriminated sgainst will again com bine with the manufacturers in s campaign for & high wool tariff. The wore they study the' question the jess will they be disposed to enter into such ao alliance, an allisnee which is wholly against their interests.— Indianapolis News. '
