TuNNELllNG THE ROCKY NOUN
TkikS.

The Denver (Col.) News says;
A scheme is now on foot for run
ming a tunnel through the Rocky
Mountains. This may seem a pro-
digous enterprise at first to the cas-
ual reader, but the parties who have
the matter in hand are sanguine of
the most complete success. The
idea is to tunnel the mountains
from a point about one mile below
Black Hawk to the Middle Parke,
running in north-weasterly di-
rection. The tunnel to be run will,
it is presumed, cut many rich veins
Of gold and silver, and thus great
mining interest be developed. Mon
ey for the prosecution of the work is
furnished by English capitalists,
who are sanguine of the ultimate
success of the enterprise. Some
idea of the magnitude of the task
may be gathered from the fact that
the tunnel, if completed, will be II
miles in length. 1t is intended to
make it large enough to be used for
railway purposes, and so, if a road
is ever to be constructed to the
Middle Park, it will find its most
convenient route through the tun-
mel. 1t will be called the Sierra
Madre Tunnel Company, and the
incorporation papers for its organl
zation have already been filed.

THE STOKES CASE.

The lawyers have succeeded in
muddling the Stokes case until the
public has almost lost sight of its
real statue. The case was brought
before the Court of Appeals on Mon
day last, on the motion for a new
trial. The ground on which it was
asked on account of errors commit
ted in the late trial at which he was
found guilty. After hearing argu
ments on both sides the Court took
the case under advisement and will
give its decision next week. Should
the motion be granted, an order
for a new trial win be issued and the
the prisoner will have another trial
In the Court of Oyer and Terminer.
Should the motion be refused, he
will be taken Immediately before the
the Supreme Court and re-sentenced
Should the decision on the pending
motion be adverse, no further ap-
peal can be taken, and Stokes only
chance will be in executive clemen-
cy, of which not the slightest hope
is entertained.

THE OUTCOME OF LIBERALISM.

Missouri is one OF the States in
which the"Liberals," triumphed last
fall. They have had q fair chance,
there, to demonstrate their capacity
to carry on a government, and the
result is not complimentary to them
The Treasuryof the State is bank
rupt, and the prospect of fresh sup
plies is apoor and discouraging one.
The obligations of the State are mat
uring, and there are no funds to
meet them, and no means at hand
for obtaining any. The Governor
has disappointed every one in choos-
ing his officers.and disrule and mis-
rule appear to prevail throughout.
We are not surprised, therefore, to
hear that the Germans who were in
veigled into the liberal movement
are discontented, dissatisfied and un-
easy. Let them come back to the
Republican party, where they prop
erly belong. The Liberal move
ment was humbug and imposture
from the start. 1t held out vast
promises that could not be fulfilled,
its followers mistook pretentious
ness for statemanship. They are
finding out their error,n and as
fast as that is discovered, Liberal
ism will vanish away.

POSTAL CARD DECISION.

Persons should not mail two pos
tai cards joined together, one con-
tanning an inquiry, and the other
blank upon which to make reply.
Both will be cancelled at the Office
oil mailing, and the blank one rem
dered useless. The following rul-
ing of the Postoffice Department
has just been made respecting pos
tai cards. These cards are not to
be advertised, are not to be return
ed to the writer's, nor sent to the
dead letter office. If undelivered
sixty days after their receipt they
should be burned. No postal card
which contains a scurrilous or OBJ :
scene communication, or which is
folded and the edges fastened to
gether, or to which slip of paper
is attached to conceal the commu-
nication, or to which any printed
matter, photograph or picture is
affixed, will be allowed transmls-
sion thronh the mails, nor can two
cards be pasted together and trans
mitted without prepayment of pos
tage Tin addition to the stamps i'm
printed thereon) at full letter rates.
All such cards will be destroyed at
the mailing office. 1t will therefore
be well for the public to understand
that while anything not scurrilous or
abscene can be properly transmit.
ted if written or printed on the card
itself, no addition to it, or alteration
of it, or increase in its weight will
be permitted.

BAllooNiNe.

Prof. John Wise and ". .H.Donald-
son, two experienced and well known
aeronauts, propose to take the At
lantic balloon voyage of which so
much has been said and so little
done. The Boston Board of Alder
men have responded to a petition
from them, and made an appropria-
ton of 5000 to aid them IN fitting
out their aerial ship, in which they
will start from the Common in that
city on the Fourth of July. The
gentlemen intend taking two other
persons with them, and through the
co operation of the Franklin Insti-
tute in Philadelphia, expect to Sc
cure the services of two scientific
men. Professor Wise bases his
reason for undertaking this perilous
voyage on the following theories:
At a certain hight above the earth
there is continuous air current, or
tide. setting from west to east caus-
ed mainly by the centrifugal force
generated by the revolution of the
earth on its axis, and that this cur
rent moves at the rate of from 6O
to one hundred miles per hour.
Thus he expects to reach England
in two days, at the most, from the
time ofstarting. Thus far balloon
ing has been of no practical use to
the world, and we cannot see that
it will be of much value even If 1t
is demonstrated that there are con-
slant easterly currents at an eleva-
ton which can be reached and
maintained. Still. if Boston is will
ing to pay for the experiment, and
the aeronauts, are anxious to risk
their lives in the enterprise, We do
not see that any one else should OBJ

WILL NOT UNITE.

The era of perfect good feeling
has not quite come. The Presby-
terian Church North, and the North
ern members, tired of being repeat
edly snuhbed in their Oyertures to
wards a restoration of unity, have
given up the attempt and declare
that when negotiations are again
opened it must be when the South,
ern Presbyterians desire it This
places the Southern Presbyterians in
a curious position. They seeded
in the first place and have persis
tently refused to return. Theil
pride will probably prevent then
from seeking any further alliance
with their Northern brethren unit
the present generation has passed
away. This is not a cheering record
for Christian denomination, and
contrasts unfavorably with the
Southern Methodists and Episcopa
lians under the same condition.

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION

The New York Legislature has
heen having trouble in fixing up the
temperance legislation of the session
SO as TO suit both itself and the
Governor of the State. The Legis.
lature passed local option bill,
which was returned by Governor
Dix with his veto. The question
then was, what next? The tlocal
option bill could not be passed over
the veto, and so the temperance
members of the Legislature had to
change their base. They accord
ingly adopted the principal of the
Ohio law, and on Thursday bill Of
this description passed the Senate,
having previously passed the House
1t is substantially the same as the
Adair law of this State, and makes
liquor sellers responsible for DANA
ges resulting from the sale ofintox-
icating drinks. 1t is not likely that
Governor Dix will veto this bill.
He is friendly to temperance leglsla-
tion, but found constitutional and
other legal objections to the local
option Lii. a-

A GENERAL DEMAND.

There is general demand from
the Eastern press in. places which
have been the scene OF railroad hor
rors, that all trains shall be suppli-
ed with axes, crowbars, and other
tools, with which to break open q
car, should an accident occur.
Stoves in cars are also condemned.
They claim that cars should be
heated by steam from the locomo-
tive. 1t is beyond question that
the most fearful accidents and loss
of life come from burning the cal
from the overturned stoves.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

1t does not appear that President
Grant and his Cabinet are very much
surprised or alarmed at the aspect of
affairs on the Mexican border. The
raid of General Mckenzie was not an
act of superserviceable zeal on the
part of that officer, but a deliberate
and well understood act Of policy on
the part of our government. As
long ago as June 1871, Mr.. Fish
wrote to Mr.. Nelson that our Min
lister at Mexico, telling him to say
informally to the Mexican govern
ment that in view of the totally in
adequate enforcement of law along
the frontier and the constant depre-
dations of the Kickapoos and other
tribes living on Mexican territory,it
might become our duty, upon fur
ther provocation, to pursue those
marauders even beyond the bound
airy Of Mexico without the consent
of that government. The minister
replied that although no formal per-
mission could begiven for the entry
of foreign troops upon Mexican soil
yet in case our forces were driven to
that extremity, the Mexican govern
ment, which acknowledged its abili-
ty to properly protect the frontier,
would not seriously complain. This
of course, puts wholly different
face upon the matter. General
Sheridan and Secretary Belknap,
were down in that region a few
weeks ago, and as they of course
knew all about the correspondence
with Mexico, General Mckenzie was
instructed to do just what he has
since done. He is now under orders
to kill the Kickapoos whenever and
wherever he can find them, and the
most recent dispatches from that re-
gion represent that the Mexicans
themselves will be we'll placed to be
rid of their marauding Indian neigh
bors. The Kickapoos ale the Tar
tars of the southwest. They do not
hunt like other Indians, but they
live by raiding upon the farms and
cattle ranches of Texas and Mexico.
They value nothing that is not sto-
len, and no stolen property so much
as that which has been stolen with
the accompaniments of rapine and
murder. They have for years
made the border line between Mexi-
co and the United States their bull
wark of safety in retreating from
their pursuers on either side. 1t is
impossible to stand upon dignity or
international etiquette when fighting
an enemy'like this. TIE only effec-
tive policy is to strike the rascals
wherever they can be found, and to
follow them to their dens, whether
in Texas or Mexico. This is the
policy which the administration has
determined on, and now that the un.
derstanding with Mexico is known,
that policy will, we think, be very
generally approved. The Indian
tribes at large need wholesom les
son, and the Modocs and Kickapoos
have fully earned the distinction Of
being made examples of.

THE MORMON QUESTION.

Speaker Blame has been giving
Brigham Young few refreshing
facts concerning bigamy and Con.
gressional legislation. The argu-
ments so long used in Utah, that
Territory to the privileges of a State
because Of her population, and that
polygamy is no worse than the soci-
al evil, were very promptly dispos-
ed of. The one, the Speaker claim
ed, is violation of law, while poly
gamy has sanction of law; and Con
gress, he stated, will be apt to deal
anything but tenderly with Utah, if
she does not behave herself.

OFFICIAL HONESTY IN OHIO.

Governor Noyes was able to say on
accepting his denomination that for
twelve years the Republican party
has had the control of the. politics
of Ohio, and during ali that time no
tint of corruption or dishonor has
attached to any State officer. When
once, something wrong was suspect
ed, an investigation, with a sharp
Democratic lawyer at its head,
searched in vain for any evidence of
fraud. This statement of Governor
Noyes has been widely noticed, and
great many pleasant things are be-
ing said by the newspapers Of other
States concerning the pre-eminent
purity of the public men of Ohio.
We believe that this praise is well
deserved. The governors Of Ohio,
since 1860, Dennison, Tod, Brough,
Cox, Hayes and Noyes,all have been
men whose integrity has been with
out haw. Both the United States
Senators from Ohio, one Republi-
can and the other a Democrat, kept
clear of the Credit Mobilier stain, and
both refused their back pay. Chase
who has just died full Of years and
honors, lived for years with the
purse of the nation in his hands and
died honest and poor. 1t is evident
therefore, that so far as State pol
itics are concerned, the Republican
party is one which the people can
trust. While Albany, Harrisburg
Trenton, and other State Capitals
have been for years sinks of corrup-
ton, Columbus has remained COM
paratively free from reproach. The
Ohio Legislature has not been all
that it should have been, but venali-
ty and purcashed corruption are not
among its sins. On the whole, con-
sidering the anti-cruelty law, the
anti-gambling code and the lottery
law, the people of Ohio have a good
deal TO thank the last Legislature for
dilatory as it sometimes seemed

CHOLERA.

The New Orleans papers admit
they have had several sporadic eases
of Asiatic cholera in that city, with
seven deaths. The percentage of
deaths was only about six-showing
that the cases yielded redily to med
ical treatment and were not danger
Gus at all. This is good showing
but this is only the opening of the
summer season, and if the cholera
appears thus early, it may rapidly
grow worse. At least,it will be well
to be prepared for it, should this
change occur.
