Aillsides where the saddest and bloodiest OF
our Indian tragedies were so recently en-
acted This generation is familiar with tho
rapid growth OF towns and cities in what we
love to call the Great West. but this SETTLE
ment of the Yellowstone in 80 short time
is marvel It Is only yesterday, as it were,
that we printed the details of the battle and
the massacre that plunged whole country
in mourning, and to-day our correspondent
from the same point tells us of tho opening
of banks. the erection Of theatres, of courts
and judges and police. The Yellowstone
Valley is forever lost to the Indian. The
blood Of Custer and his heroes was ter
rible price to pay for it; but, after all, they
died in noble cause. Our Western coun-
try is the great monument Of the heroes Of
our army, and their names will be forever
cherished as the martyrs OF our civilization.

The Lowell Factories.

Lowell, on the Merrimac River, twenty
miles from Boston, has been for more than
half century, and still is, the most impor-
tant town in America for the manufacture
Of cotton fabrics, and in recent years it has
become the most important American seat
Of the manufacture Of carpets. To travel
Ter who is not in pursuit of the picturesque,
but Of the useful there is no city in the
United States which is better worth a visit.
There is no place in the world, not even
Manchester, in England, where travel
Ter can inspect to better advantage
what Mr.. Golden once called that
greatest marvel Of machinery, o modern
cotton mill. The cotton mills of Lowell,
unlike those of the English Manchester,
are propelled by water power instead Of
steam power, their location having been
determined by descent in the river at that
point which supplies abundant force for
driving machinery,
The correspondent whom we have sent to
Now England to report upon its industries
writes from Lowell in the interesting letter
which we publish to-day, and the descrip-
ton he gives Of it's cotton mills and its car
pet mills will enable the public to estimate
those branches Of industry in that locality.
There is social aspect Of the life Of that
town which we are glad that our
correspondent did not fail to look
into. Each of the great corporations,
besides its enormous buildings for manu-
featuring purposes. has erected and owns
the boarding houses where its operatives
live. The tenants pay q merely nominal
rent and furnish cheap board for the opera
tives, who are mostly young women. Every
care is taken Of their morals, and TO facili-
tate this supervision every person employed
is required to live in tho houses belonging
to the corporation. The moral and social
aspects of Lowell are as well worth intelli-
gent study as its industrial aspects. We
commend the letter of our correspondent to
the attention Of readers.

tends to violate our laws. But if the con-
turn out to be well founded it will become
the clear duty of our government to be
active and vigilant in enforcing the statute
which we have quoted. If it be true that
Russia intends to fit out cruisers
from the port Of San Francisco or
any other port of the United States
nothing can be clearer than the duty Of the
government. The question Of ''intent." on
which the law of 1918 lays SO much stress,
would not be difficult one if it should be
found that Russia has actually purchased
swift steamers in San Francisco. There is
only one purpose for which she can need
such swift steamers, and the most ingenious
subterfuges and lodges could not deceive
anybody respecting her real intentions. II
her purpose is to fit out cruisers against
English commerce it would be fragrant
violation of our laws. Her agents would be
punishable by heavy fines and imprison-
ment, and the purchased ships would be
subject to confscation. She cannot do in
the United States in anticipation OF war
anything which she could not do after
war shall have been formally declared. The
question whether war exists between Russia
and England has nothing TO do with 1t. 1t
is by the statute simply question whether
the United States are ut peace with Eng
land If SO, the fitting out from our ports
of ships intended to cruise against English
commerce is strictly forbidden by our laws,
and the vigilance and energy of our govern
ment must be exerted to suppress it, 1t is
not question of international law at all,
but of a duty arising under the statute law
of tho United States The fitting out OF
ships to cruise against English commerce
is thing which cannot be done in the
United States unless our government neg
lects it's duty.

A Gold bonanza.

In our correspondence from Helena. Mon
tana, will be found the story OF one more
marvellous discovery of precious metal on
the Pacific slope. In the story Of the Pc
nobscot we see unfolded another chapter OF
the romance Of the mines, another wonderful
surprise for a stolid worker who had been
logged by i'll fortune from the time OF his
first going to California in the old "goid
fever" days, and who, ut last, from the
depths of encouragement, finds himself
made rich beyond oil his dreams as
suddenly and finely as things happen
in fairy story But q month or two since
he could borrow in Helena only with the
greatest difficulty on the security OF his
mine few hundred dollars with which to
continue his efforts to work it, and ere his
small borrowed capital is gone he is offered
by sharp men with nm eye to all chances
three hundred thousand and then four hum
bred thousand dollars for the property
whose great value he hos at last
made clear. In this glimpse OF the
romance of life in the auriferous coun-
tries we can only wonder that a man Of
speculative spirit, who has drifted to
and fro in that district for twenty years and
made more than one strike should at last
sell out for four hundred thousand dollars a
mine whose promise must certainly be far
greater. Gold hunters are gamblers in
spirit, and the small certainty is not COM
monty weighed against a grand chance.
But at this point in the story comes in the
quiet Judgment Of a wife with common
sense who simply says "this much
will make us richer than we ever
thought to be and it is all we want" That
closes the sale, and the man who might in
year or two be gold prince and tower
far above the whole generation of silver
princes sells out for handsome and yet a
moderate fortune. One of these days when
the story is fully told of the men Of Vestal's
stamp and charlottesville Mackays, the
Fairs, the Joneses, Sharons, Floods and
O'Briens the period of their adventures,
trials and successes will seem like the en-
chanted age of American history.

A Great Fire ut Minmea polls.

A special despatch to the HERALD from
the city of Minneapolis, published else
where, announces the outbreak of great
fire, which threatens to destroy an immense
amount Of property. The cause Of the dis
aster has been tremendous explosion in
the great Touring mill of Bull, Newton & Co.,
where tho dust from the purifier OF the pull
verified grain known as "middlings" has
been ignited and exploded like so much
nitro-glycerine. As many as forty men are
reported to have been buried in the ruins
But this local calamity threatens to become
a widespread one, as the fire extends from
its point Of origin over the mills
Already it is feared that the fire has
passed beyond tho control Of the fire
department and spread to the whole OF
the river front Of the city Last evening q
brisk westerly wind prevailed at Mime
apolis, with a probability that il would
doubtedly extend the area of the
confiagration and subject perhaps the
whole city to the awful scourge OF
fire. 1t is to be hoped that as
sistance from St. Paul and neighboring
cities may be sent in time, and that the fire
that has already consumed so much valu-
able property may be checked The loss OF
life attending tho original explosion will
probably prove great, rs the building In
which IL occurred was one of the largest of

Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
both, according to the requirements of the
case.
The old suppositlon that Consumption Is
incurable," for many years deferred Physicians
from attempting 10 find a remedy for that
disease, and patients afflicted with 1t recon-
cied themselves to death without and effort
being made to save them from doom which
was considered inevitable.
DIR. Schenck himself was supposed at one
time to be at the very gate of death, his
Physicians having pronounced his case hope

cured by the aforesaid medicines and afterward
enjoyed uninte rupted good health for more
