NORTH: SHORE (BREEZE 
Interesting and valuable data have 
been collected concerning hydrograph- 
ic, geological, meteorological, biologi- 
cal and geographical conditions But 
the truth has not half been told. 
Much remains to be done to complete 
this work so well begun. 
The concerted action of the nations 
in establishing the International Cir- 
cumpolar Stations for simultaneousob- 
servations—in 1882-3, fifteen stations 
were established—led to large results. 
The only thing to mar the beauty of 
the labor was the unfortunate ending 
of the Greeley expedition. 
There may not be as much glory in 
this patient toil as the world will be- 
stow upon the skilled Peary if he un- 
furls the American flag on the nine- 
tieth parallel ; but the scientist of the 
future will not forget the men who 
placed the stepping stones for the 
final work. From such labor comes 
a benefit to commerce, yes, every in- 
dustry will materially be benefited 
by each scrap of knowledge relative 
to our globe. All knowledge is use- 
ful; and in the words of Elizabeth’s 
Prime Minister, ‘‘ Knowledge is 
power.” 
Galileo, Copernicus and Keppler 
had their portion of scoffs and perse- 
cution, and Columbus suffered a score 
of years ere he was able to present a 
new world to the old. In fact, every 
industry by which man_ obtains a 
living or amasses a fortune has been 
built upon foundations whose corner 
stones were discouragement, failure, 
obstruction and ridicule. Arctic re- 
search is not an exception.

bergen seas, what the English accom-

plished in Hudson's bay and in Nova 
Zembla, it remains for the Americans 
to do beyond-Grant land. Who is to 
do this work, who is the man of expe- 
rience, skill-and courage sufficient to 
msure success? Undoubtedly Lieut. 
Robert N. Peary, a man_ possessing 
rare qualities of leadership, great per- 
sonal knowledge of the. country, 
gained from ten years of active ser- 
vice in the field, and with a controlling 
influence over the natives,— he alone 
of all men is pre-eminently endowed 
for the task. 
He proposes to make a grand and 
final attempt to reach the Pole. His 
plans are well laid, he has the support 
of the best authorities and the back- 
ing of the assistant secretary of the 
navy, Judge Charles H. Darling, a 
man who is enthusiastically interested 
in having the Stars and Stripes placed 
upon the North Pole. 
Let the American people, in per- 
sonal and patriotic pride, rise to the 
occasion with the same vim that the 
fight for the America’s cup is period- 
ically made, give Peary moral and 
financial support, and the first stand- 
ard unfurled upon the’ long-coveted 
spot will be our national emblem.
