TIE SECRETS OF THE BLACK HILLS

LIE SEtE 10 UT IHE DLICh MILLS.
After four centuries of Caucasian rule on
this continent we are still occasionally re-
minded how incomplete is its subsection to
the white man, and how little he really knows
of its vast territory and boundless treasures.
The story of our special correspondent with
the Black Hills Expedition which will be
found on the - page, gives us the news
Of more than one important discovery in
hitherto unknown regions of South Western
Dakota. To the eager, fortune hunting
American the disclosure that new gold coun-
try is virtually opened to his adventurous
quest Will summon hopes of a new California
with visions OF colossal and sudden wealth
That there will be found sufficient gold
in the Black Hills region to repay working
seems very likely inasmuch as abundant
traces of its presence exhibit themselves or
every hillside, and the surface soil well re-.
wards the labor of washing. But Gen. Chs
ter's explorers are too busy to pause to die
gold, remembering doubtless, as Others should
that there have been FL Dorados before which
were FL DOradOs only in dreams and prophecy
and never fulfilled the glitterng authorizations
of their discoveries. 1t is to be hoped that n,
will follow this announcement for the cessa
ton and arrangement of honest industry thai
necessarily ensue do more damage to the gen.
eral prosperity than the richest placers car
repair. More money can still be made on Tn,
average by any single laborer in digging pota
toes than in digging gold. However, if tn,
President still retains his curious notion abou
the possibilities of working off the nationa
debt by the aid of gold mines, it is not un
likely that we may see considerable agitation
at Long Branch.
The Expedition has made much more i'm
pOrtant discovery, when the spread of oul
population and its steady encroach ment on tn,
Western territory are considered. 1t is tha
of region of marvellous fertility and beauty
carpeted with flowers and watered with gener
Gus streams, land rich in timber, grass
fruits, and game, and endowed with the mos
highly diversified fora existing this side OF
California. Here Nature seems to be in hel
kindliest mood, and doubtless in the progress:

The fourteen columns of biography of SEN
ator ingalls,, published in The Kansas City
Times, prove to be sufficiently disagreeable
reading, but on the whole it is doubtful
whether they do Mr.. Ingalls, much harm.
They accuse him of some unsenatOrial
performances. such as using the United States
officials whose appointment he had secured
to blackmail the railroads whose bills he had
in charge, making service in blackmail the
condition of recommendations forappOintment !;
efforts to induce Senator POmeroy to pay largely
for having a nOlle prOSeQ6 enteredi i'll the matter
of the indictment against him for bribery, and
n great multitude of similar but minor trans
actions. All of them seem probable enough,
though specific proof is rarely given. But the
Kansas City paper is over sanguine in It's sup
posing that the case is thus resolved into one
of either resignation or expulsion. The Sen
ate which has stood its present members is
not likely to find Mr.. Ingalls, unbearable even
if the wilderness of charges should be unmis-
takably established. The fourteen COL
umns of biography will hardly be fur
nished by the Senator for use in the
forthcoming volume of lives of members
of the XLIIId Congress, or even submitted as
furnishing data for neat and appropriate
biography in the Congressional Directory. II
NAV damage him in Kansas, but it will hardly
amount even to an annoyance in Washington.

Since the hydrophobia discussion there has been
little said of the virtues of the dog and during the
prevalence of midsummer madness even more TO
be stunned there has been room IN the papers for
tales of sagacty or magnanimty on the part of our
honest fourfooted friends But in the dreary wastes
of scandal and malicious gossip which people of re-
spectable appearance and mainly decent regulations
have been industriously circulating for years, and
have now forced into print to weigh down the mails
there is one story which need not put any respecta
bic dog TO the blush. We give it in the hope that
hereafter the noble animal may have better
show in the exchanges. A Delaware dog
named Carlo was the devoted friend Of
4 Delaware cat named Dick. Dick allowed
his appetite to run away with him and attempted
the experiment Of swallowing needle and thread
which had found its way into his dinner. The
needle stuck in his throat and Carlo was called in
as consulting physician. His surgery consisted SIM
ply in steadily licking the cats neck, with an occa-
sonal pressure of his tongue if to force the point
of the needle through to the surface After cOninu-
ing this operation through part of one night and
through two days success crowned his Efforts and
ne had the satisfaction of drawing out the needle
with his teeth. People who doubt the story are in
yted by the Delaware paper to call and see not only
the cat and the dog but the needle sticking in a
fence and the wound in the cats neck; both ami
mails can be placed upon the stand. And in the way
of circumsantial evidence that is good deal.

Three brand new Presidential candidates in a
single day are pretty good crop even for a
Washington newspaper which cannot possibly
do any harm by manufacturing as many as it
pleases. There is the force at least of orig
inality in the suggestion that Secretary Bristow
or Chief-Justice Waite would make a good
candidate. The talk about Gen. Sherman is
not so original, but might prove to have more
in it.

Much undue excitement exists in Williams
burgh over the death of a leader OF the Plas-
terers' Union, who when drunk endeavOred to
compel non-sOcety workmen to deslst from
work, and came to sudden end IN cOnse-
cucnce. Any effort to use such an incident to
infiame the members of Labor Unions to vio-
lence against those who decline to accept their
regulations can only result in harm.

One or two correspondents have written expressing
some neasiness as to the distribution of the funds
raised in New-York, Boston, and elsewhere for the
sufferers by the Mill River Valley disaster We have
accordingly caused some inquiries to DO made, and
learn that the part of the funds not already expended
is in the hands of the Bottmans at Northampton
who are responsible and honorable men, and who
are holding it for use next Winter. when the real
desttution and suffering from the disaster are likely
70 be most severely felt. Distribution is then to be
made through the local relief committees, and there
seems to be- every probability that it will be udcious
aud impartial.

Mr.. Henry C. Bowen seems to have been
made the subject of great outrage, by the
publication in The Brooklyn Eagle of pre-
tended interview with him on the Beecher-
Tilton business, in which there was not a
word of truth, MIR. Bowen not only not nav
ing said what was attributed to him, out
actually having said nothing whatever
1t is scarcely probable that the paper con-
cerned was a party to this fraud; but 1t owes
it to itself to see that the man who vlctimized
it gets the severest punishment the law can
be made to inflct. The penitentiary is the
precise place for him.

II has hitherto been thought impossible to eat
YOUR cake and have it too, but that old-fashioned
idea is now exploded. A Company has just been or
ganized in England to repay to people all their
bread and butter and furnishing expenditure. 1t is
simple enough The Company sells its tickets for
all amounts to respectable tradesmen, their cost
being per cent of the amount with which they are
inscrbed-which amount is usually allowed to the
purchaser for ready money. This discount, how
ever, he gets from the Company. not from the
trodesman. since in return for every S2j worth of
expenditure tickets collected from tradesmen in
return for his equal expenditure, he receives S5
assurance bond. Trustees take charge of the per
centage paid by the tradesmen which percentage
accommodating al compound interest enables the
Company according to its own statement, to pay OFF
tle bonds in ballots. thus returning the whole ex-
nendture of the customer to himself or his heirs So
cheerful plan ought to succeed.

The appointment of Mr.. Abraham l.. Earle
to be Deputy Controller has no political mean
ing so far as we can learn. His promotion
over the more experienced Mr.. StOrrs, who
has long performed the duties of the place, is
doubtless the result of personal popularity
with Mr.. Green Why the appointment was
not long since made is not clear; and why 1t
should be made at this particular juncture is
still ny stery. Naturally the appointment.

The Courts cannot do anything more in the
interest of peace and good order than to deal
most rgidly with all cases coming before them
in which members of trades unions have re-
sorted to violence or bloOdshed to enforce
their rules upon their fellOwwOrkmen. There
has been in the past too much trucking to
the supposed political influence of these
unions. Hereafter it will be found far less
popular to favor them than to do
Justice, no matter who Is favored.
Within their rights, let the trades unions
be protected by all means, but when their
members resort to bloodshed to accomplish
their purposes, the court that fails to deal
with them rigidly is false to itself and
to the community. Probably the last
trades-union murder in Brooklyn is as
good place as any for begin
ming; and a little imitation of Recorder
Hacketts prompt way, whether it be in pun
ishng the aggressors or in dismissing those
who only defend themselves, will command
general gratitude.

1t seems tolerably certain that an effort has
been made to indict Controller Green. that it
has been unsuccessful, and that there Is not
much prospect of a successful renewal of 1T.
Controller Green's worst faults are those of
manner and method. He makes needless
enemies, he is inexcusaby slow, and his way
of doing business is sometimes confused
But he is undoubtedly hated by the thieves,
and the force of the reform movement is not
vet so entirely spent but that their hatred
still remains a warm recommendation The
Controller deserves sharp rebuke, howev er,
for the indecency of sending Mr. Dexter A.
Hawkins to Albany to lobby for him; and
if it be true that the indictment was attempted
on this score there will be many even among
the Controllers well wishers who will not
particularly rejoice over its failure. For
reform officer to send any lobbyist to Albany
is bad to send such an one is an outrage.

The Democratic Party.

The Republican party, by the shameless
misconduct of the leading men during the
past few years, has shown itself to be unfit to
rule the country. Little by little il has
drifted into Capitalization, corruption and
oharlatanism, and it now shows, on the part
of those who assume to guide the opinions of
the masses, decided leaning toward Caesar
ism. Its leaders, made indolent, extrav-
agant, insolent and corrupt, by years of profit
able remuneration for very little labor, many
of them having become immensely wealthy
almost without effort on their part, are ready
for anything which will afford them con-
tinuance of their position of power and plum
der. 1t is plain that general reform is need
ed in all branches of our government, and il
is equally plain that reform cannot be expect
ed from the Republican party. The attempt
to organize new political parties of sufficient
strength to insure success has failed wherever
tried. To the Democratic party alone the
people must look for relief from their present
and Impending national troubles. Let the
Democracy stand united upon good national
platform, with candidates, for all position,
beyond reproach, aud the people will aid
them to put an end to Radical nisrale But
to win success they must deserve it. Their
bugles must give forth no uncertain sound.
They must become the party of the people
the party of honest reform aud retrenchment
the party which will mean we'll and do
we'll for the country at large. Then and not
till then, will their complete success as
political party be assured beyond peradven-
ture, and the country be delivered from the
blithing curse Of Radical rule.-ReGding
