Is true that every attempt by Engish-speaking
men TO reach the Khanates OF Bokhara and Khva
has ended in disaster; but only three years ago
Mr.. Shaw succeeded in reaching the capital OF
Eastern Turkestan, or, as it is now called, "the
country of the Atalgh Ghazi." Captain staden
has surveyed route for a railroad from Rangoon
across Burmah TO the western frontier OF China
passing through lands and tribes never before
seen by Europeans. Frenchmen, Englishmen
and Americans have all Wed with each
other in exploring every nook Of the
Celestial Empire. The Indian Archipelago has been
carefully examined, and, with the exception OF a
few places In the Farther East such as New Guinea
and the Corea and the interior OF Sumatra. that
part Of the world is pretty well known. Captain
Burton has also visited Mecca and though he Is not
the first European who has done so the feat bore
useful and instructive results.
AFRICA.
The greatest Of all the geographical discoveries OF
the present epoch, however, are the brilliant
triumphs of Livingstone and Spoke and Grant and
Burton. The story of Livingstone was told
in yesterdays HERALD-that is to say, the story
of his first great successful journey. Another and
yet more glorious story of successful endeavors, OF
patient endurance, Of calm, persevering work OF
brain and body, will be told In the dispatches OF
Mr.. Stanley which will arrive in a few days and
will detail the particulars Of Livingstone's later
journey. We shall then also know what value TO
place upon the conclusions OF Spoke and Grant,
whose reputed discovery of the sources of the
Nile seems now again open to modification, if not
to absolute denial. And in view of the fact that
Livingstone will probably still be another two
years away, and OF the doubt and uncertainty that
must ever surround his return until we actually
and positively know that he has once
more arrived within the confines Of civilization,
it is surely no vain boast for the HERALD to close
the list OF explorers with the name OF its own cor
respondent, who, II he has merely travelled over
known ground, has done so in the teeth OF 0bsta-
cles Of exceptional difficulty and for the sole
pose Of securing to the world, at all hazards and
beyond the possibility Of loss the precious results
of LivingstOne's six years. toll.

THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE.
Early in the present century Captain Ross at
tempted to find what many navigators from Sebas-
tan Cabot EDWARDS, had searched for In vain-the
northwest passage. He pushed up further
than any one had reached before, but declined to
incur the risk of being frozen in the ice for an en-.
tire season. Many Of his oficers blamed
him for his prudence, and In 1919 Lieu
tenant Parry, who had been his second
in command, headed another expedition. This
was also unsuccessful, and so were two subseqent
voyages under the same leadership, although every
danger was braved with reckless ntrepidity, and a
point only 900 miles from the North Pole was at one
time reached.
FRANKLIN
In 1919 also another expedition to the North
Pole, overland, was undertaken by Captain, after
wards Sir John franklin; but after following
the coast as far as 6sn degrees north, he
was compelled to return. In 1925 he held CON-
mand under Parry and In 1s45 he sailed as COM
manderof the North Pole Expedition or that year.
He had two shps-the Erebus aud Terror-and for
years nothing was heard OF the expedition. Ship
after ship was fitted out discover the fate Of the
home, IL they were stin alive. Some
OF these search expeditons-notably Cap.
tain Kane's-incidentally made important
discoveries. The remains Of Franklin and his CON-
rades were at last discovered, and it Is now known
that they persisted Of starvation. The sailing Of
Captain Halls exploring expedition last year Is
fresh within the recollection of our readers
RECENT DISCOVERIES.
Almost simultaneous with this passionate eager
to reach the North Pole there has been an In

"Strikes" would be of rare oc-
currence if all manufacturers and
capitalists were like John Smedley,
of Matlock, England, who has in
his employ more than n thousand
workmen. Work begins at six
o'clock in the morning; breakfast
Is furnished at eight o'clock at q
modera9e cost, and Immediately
after breakfast the superintendent
reads q hymn and some selections
from the Bible, or some other
book; short prayer follows. and
at nine o'clock the men are at
their work again. On five days of
the week the operatives work ten
hours, and on Saturday the mill is
closed at half past twelve, so that
a weeks working hours amount to
fifty. five and one. half. Full wages
are paid for Christmas and Good
Friday; hospitals are provided for
the sick, and care is taken that, in
the matter of wages, an operative,
when taken sick, is not cast aside
as If there was no common inter
est between him and his employer.
As might be expected, there are
no strikes in this mill, no drunk
enness, and the worknen are ac-
tive and happy. The proprietor
wisely says that he believes that
the present disagreement between
employers and employed arc large

WHICH HORACE WILL YOU HAvEq

Horace White, the editor of the
Chicago Tribune, the leading Lib
eral Republican paper of the west,
furnished the following truthful
pen picture of Horace Greeley in
1866:
"Horace Greeley is not now, and
never has been, man who ought to
be trusted with an official position
requiring practical wisdom, ordi-
nary craftsmanship, or firm, con-
sistent action. For twenty-five
years he has heen a marplot in coun-
Gil, an unreliable commander in ac-
ton, a misanthrope In victory, a
riotous disorganizer in defeat He
has always been fanatical in his de-
mands foT the EXTREMIST measures,
and when the party has reached the
eve of triumph, invariably thrusts
himself forward rs a negotiator of
terms of surrender to the enemy.
His course during the war was but
a repetition of his course in politics.
In 1861 he was an open defender of
secession; he changed to vigorous
champion of the war, and thereafter
was forever recklessly making pro-
posals of peace, and as recklessIy
withdrawing them-making war in
spite of Mars, and negotiating
peace in spite of Minerva.
"For twenty years he has hecn an
uncompromising advocate for a
square fight with the pro.slavery
part ', and when that kind of fight
was forced upon the Republicans in
1850, he was here In Chicago, voting
not for Lincoln, not for Chase, but
for old Edward Bates, of Missouri,
one of the fossils of the slavery
party. He WAS then the associate
and co-laborer of that impractica.
able and unreliable squad-the
Blair family. The country at this
time wants no inspired Harlequins
in the national council. Still less
does it want men with statesman
ship so microscopic that they can
see nothing in public business but
the mileage and per diem of their
fellow members. If Mr.. Greeley is
not satisfied with his position as
Journalists position which ought
to be equal in point of influence,
power and dignity to that of six
average Senators-and If the Res
publicans of New York want to do
something for him, let them make
him State prison Inspector, or even
thing that will not
make the outside OF the State re-
sponsible for his follies.

LETTER FROM COLORADO.
DENVER, COL, Aug. 20, 1872.

DENVER, NOi4'3 Aug. ~ 1917
But few people come here to see
Denver. They wish TO see the
Rocky Mountains, and exhibit the
utmost indifference to the wonders
which greet them in this far western
city until they get back from their
mountain touring. So far is this
rule carried out that it surprises m e
as much as do the wonderful char
acteristics of the place itself-won-
mans hands. was anxious, like
the rest, to see the mountains and
tread their mysterious canyons; but
1 could not keep my eyes off the
peculiar city itself. Thirteen years
ago saw here but row of log and
''adobe" cabins and stores along the
sides of two streets. Now three
and four story brick blocks, of ele-
CANT style and finish, greet the eye
for many squares, and miles of
streets shaded with tall cotton
woods aud studded with costly and
handsome residences stretch back
to the hills. Beautiful flower gar
dens adorn many of the front
yards, watered by spoutiDg foun-
tains, for nearly every street has its
ditch of running water, brought
either from the mountains or the
huge water-works across Cherry
Creek. The street cars appear to
entice but few. Most people prefer
to take more time and sec the beau
ties-that Is, most pleasure-scekers.
True there are other classes here,
and large number are embraced in
its business circles. Some twenty
five or thirty big transfer wagons,
drawn by the most powerful horses
l ever saw, are kept pretty busy
hauling merchandise, and trunks,
and other baggage. Besides these
there are countless carriages, bug
gies, ambulances, stages and hacks
constantly rolling out of the great
livery stables that are found in all
parts of the city, doing their utmost
to scatter, collect, or anything else
to keep the people moving. 1t will
pay q person TO stand on the corner
of most any street an hour or two
and witness the excited knots of
freshly arrived tourists, with their
faces always turned toward the vast
ridge of rocks and pines and SHOWS
above them, discussing the method
they should pursue in getting up the
mountains. Or equally interesting
are the adventures of those who
have just come from the everlasting
hills, as they relate their slides
down snow banks, or tumbles down
the rocky gorges, etc. They go up
looking clean, prim, fastidious of
their dress and personal appearance,
they come down tired, dusty, with
their arms full OF "curiosities, OBJ
Hvious of their torn clothes, heel
less and toeless boots and democrat
lied aspect generally. 1t is sturdy
business, this climbing the Rocky
Mountains. I tried it last week and
therefore know.
But before I leave Denver, there
is one other thing that comes prom
inently under our notice. There
are one hundred and ninety saloons
within her borders, and more cor
ruption OF various kinds than ever
saw or heard of before. While
the upper or southern portion of
town is healthy and beautiful the
lower portion next the river, on the
bottom. is one perfect hell of de.
bauchery. r.
