may be confidently expected. Among the

The recent trial of the persons indicted

in conviction, but, on the promise that
the misdemeanor should not be repeated,
sentence was suspended in the case of the
convicted parties, as we'll as OF others who,
on the strength of the verdict, pleaded
guilty. It is now alleged that the opera
tions at the factories from which the nuis-
ances emanate have been resumed, the
parties regarding their trial rs o
mere matter Of form and believing that
their escape from punishment was. in fact,
an authorization for continuance of the
offence 1t is proper that these people, as
well Us the officials whose duty it is to pre-
vent the existence Of such nuisances, should
be made to understand that their prosecu-
ton is not o mere farce. If we are to have
series of convictions followed. by suspen-

simply ridiculous. Either tho penalty for
such offences ought to be enforced rs a

During oil these dreary months, while we
have been reading about the wars of tho
Russian and the Turk, and the possible war
naming foe has been endcavoring to form a
grand alliance against us in the wilds and
Businesses Of the Northwest. When Sitting
Bull retired beyond the border he scarcely
concealed his intention To return not as
q suppliant but as an invader. The letter
elsewhere printed shows that he has kept
this purpose steadily in view since he left
us. His plan was to unite all the disaf-
fccted Indian tribes and lead them against
us in one last Indian war, which should end
in the victory or the humiliation of his
people. The most glorious traditions of
project 1t was the old policy of Tccumseh
