It can scan-el- be that theinoro judicious .supporters of Mr.

M. SiiKPAitn, whatever their in-

dividual view of comparative merit,are prepared tot maintain that on thearound of character and ability, notto speak of his record of partyMr. William F. Shkhhan wan not en-

titled to seek theirvotes; or that havingobtained the nomination by the regu-

lar methol of ascertainment ns be-

tween rival claims he is not entitledon every principle except that of in-

dividual preference to the election: orthat apart from this individual prefer-ence in the preliminary stace he wouldnot bo regarded by them as a properchoico and gladly voted for. Xor dowe think it will be held by the moretar.did and less excited of Mr. Siikp-AntV- s

friends thai tho circumstancethai Mr. SilKKllAN is supported by tholocal organization, which contributedo much to the Democratic victory in

this State in November last, consti-tutes in itself a moral disqualification.They will recall the fact that it is notyet quite ten years since Mr. Shepaiidhimself was tho candidate of Tam-

Next to the Kenoral duty of civinc thopeople of New .lersey honest nnd eco-nomical State covernment, the princi-a- l

Oregon in the mntter of direct primariesnnd tho popular initiative. Ho referstwieo to Oregon as a.tnodel and kuiiIo.Of primary legislation, which ho haselsewhere doscribcd as "ihe emancipa-tion of politics from secret processes,"Governor Wilson remarks.

" Our primary laws should he ejtended to every elecllxo office, and o ihe teiei Hon

order that the people may once for all tac rharscof ihelr own affairs, their cwn political organlalion and association; and Ihe methods of prlmarcselection should be so perfected that the primaries,will be pit upon the same free fooling that the,

lodging Operas.After Hi'MPi:iti)iNcK's"K(lnigskinder"

had been acclaimed in New York, theGorman Emperor decided that ho niusido something to flatter American na-

tional prido in return, so ho announceda rovival of the unfortunate "Poia."This opera of Indian life was revealedto Dcrlin last winter. It met with swiftand apparently deserved failure.

It might have been better had Wll.-I- IELM II. awaited the decision of the

great opera contest instituted by theMetropolitan Opera Company. Fromtho scores submitted there might havebeen found ono worthy the honor ofperformance in Berlin. Now that theworks of "Chiaroscuro" and "Haffoelo"have leen rescued from the thioves andrestored to their place, there is greateropportunity that tho desired work maybe found It is only unfortunate thatanother celebrated American operaticcomposition which was lost in a ship-wreck olf tho Azores while in transituto tho Imperial Opra Houso in Vionna rcould not have been added to the unknown masterpieces now awaiting thetitle of tho first of American operas.

Thorn is every reason why the F.m-per- or

should Iw willing to oMpono thoproduction of his erratic "tribute toAmerican appreciation of Htt.MPKU-MNrK- 's

work. The Berlin judges havealready decided that tho opera wasundeserving of all the praise it receivedhere. This enthusiastic young nationhas been pronounced incapable of givingan opinion. So thn Kmperor's gratitudewas premature. It may be that wo donot nfter all deserve any such attentionas tho revival of Tola" at ho MoralOpera House in Merlin would suggest.At all events it might lie best for thoKmperor to delay his kind attention tothe people of this country. We can waitif he can. It is quite certain that "Poia"can wait.

The Fruits of Insurgency.Withom being aware of it, appar-

ently, tho insurgents of both partiesin thn Houso of Representatives aredemonstrating tho necessity of partyorganization and obedienco to its de-

crees if useful legislation, or any legis-lation for that matter, is to be accom-plished. The Mepublican majority inthe present Congress is forty-tw- o, andyet tho House spends most of its timoin wrangling about tho rules, to theneglect of prossing business. Tho ses-

sion is slipping away with most of theappropriation bills still in theair.aud solittle time left to consider them that anextra session of thn Sixty-secon- d Con-

attracted lltllch attention of late years. ;

Tho archipelago was once a stoppingplace for whalers and Arctic explorers.It bocamo tho starting point from w hichAson&K sailed, and Wlllman did notsail, for the north pole; it has come tobo a resort for thoo preparing for morearduous explorations, for adventurousyachtsmen, for scientific men desiringa cool summer for their investigations.It offers a new field for Alpine climbers,and since coal and minerals have Wnfound on it, has been a bono of conten-tion for Scandinavian diplomacy. Thishas brought also an effort to reestablishfishing stations on the islands.

The main island of itselfhas been traversed recently, a feat ofgreat difficulty owing to the ice andmountains, and information has beenobtained regarding the geology of theinterior. The volcanic rocks which, inthe form of diabase, cover a good dealof the space, prove to be magnetic instrange ways. In some pieces the northpole is the surface nnd the south theinside; inothersthedirectioti U reversed,and the supositioii is that the rock wasmagnetized at the time of the eruption.Tho scientific men are puzzling overthese eccentricities, which they cannotexplain, but they Iioih to tlcrivi fromthem information about magnetic con-ditions m the past. The establishedfact, however, is that Spitzbergen con-tains g?eat mas.vs of magnetic rock,which, combined with the variation ofthe magnetic ole, not so faraway, mustmake the compass of little use in theadjacent waters.

To tiik Ennort or Thk Sr.v -- .Sir a ter-rible calamity was occasioned by the explo-sion of the boiler In the, four story brick andIron building in Hague street, near Pearlstreet, In the morning shortly after the em-ployees to the number of about ino men andboys had commenced work. If any arealive, who were at Ihe fire which ensued theysurely will remember It as one of the mostappalling calamities that have ever befallenold New York

'I he destruction was so complete thatHie ruins were only about thirty feet IiUIithe bulldlntr was nhnnl 100 feel square, and.lo add to (ho horror flro broke out In theruins.

There were three of us who belontred toEngine Company 4, located In (ireat Jonesstreet, who lesponded lo the flro nlarmWilliam Story, IVal P Parker and myself,who on our arrival nt the ruins set to workIn extricating those that were entombedIn that pile of bricks, tlonn and iron, nndwhile prospecting as to where to commenceour wnrit we hoard tho voice of a boy thatwas burled about thirty feet distant underthe ruins, who proved to bo Frederick lyman, and after a hurried examination weconcluded that the only way to reach himwas by tunnelling under tho ruins, which we !

did by working by relnys on our hands andknees, passing the bricks and iron from oneto the other until we readied him and thenlo our chagrin we found a steel shaft aboutone and three-unnrte- r Inches in diameterwhlih extended up in front of tho boy'shead. We then had lo clear away a spacelarge enough to sling a sledgehammer andbreak tho shaft.

We found Tynian liug between two beamsand he was not seriously Injured. Whenwe got to Tynian wc found another boylying between the same two beams, whosename was Tindale, who was not seriouslyinjured. They were both brave bovs Wetrvuuentlv had to put a stteam of waterover them, us fire threatened them, of whichthey always gave us notice. This day'swork was the hardest and most trying Hint
