Don't Irritate 8. Bull.

Our Indian relations were never so queer
as now. They have often been fierce,
savage and bloody, and they may be SO
collision Of the main body of troops
under General Miles with the three thou
sand braves said to be on our side the Canada
line with Sitting Bull. They have not often
been ridiculous, yet the anxious instructions
that have been sent from Washington pre-
sent them decidedly in that light. All that
troubles men at the national capital Is
apparently the fear that General Miles will
''irritate" Sitting Bull. He is instructed
urgently on that point He must be as
mild as faxseed tea or toast water, or any
other smooth fluid, and never give offence
even by wink out of the corner
of his eye to this terrible savage. Yet Sit
ting Bull, if he is on our soil, is an invader
in arms He is not merely an Indian off
his reservation to be forced to return as the
Cheyennes we're but he is savage who,
with his followers, has renounced all rela-
tions with our government and quit the
country, and whose return with arms in
hand is an act Of war. His bands are hunt
ing, numbering and burning between the
Missouri River and the line and while
they are making the country desert with
rifle and torch together General Miles,
with the troops, is to stand still and not
irritate the mighty medicine man. If the
people in Washington will stop that sort of
twaddle and see that Miles has what troops
are within his reach in that part of the
world they may safely leave this big Indian
in his hands.

American Cotton Manufactures.

We print elsewhere an interesting letter
addressed by Mr.. B. F. Nourse. of Boston,
we'll known as an able expert in cotton
manufacturing. to an English journal
which recently threw doubt on statements
made by Mr.. Nourse concerning the prog
ress of this industry in the United States.
These statements were made in letter to
the HERALD some months ago, in which Mr..
Nourse replied to a number of questions
asked by the London Times. Mr. Nourse's
letter to the HERALD attracted wide attention
in England, and was much discussed there,
for it showed the English cotton spinners
that in some respects our American cotton
spinners were making very rapid advances.
His present letter is of equal interest We
are able, from trustworthy sources, to add
one fact which we do not find in his state
ment If there has been any difficulty in
the dry and electric condition of our cli-
mate during few months in the year, it ap
pears now to be possible to overcome this
difficulty absolutely by the use of an ap-
paratus devised by an American, by which
the air can be dampened to any degree de-
sired and kept in uniform condition with
the spray of pure cold water.

Ora nges and Lemons.

When young gentleman invests his two
or three cents in an orange, or when per
son of more advanced years calls for a
"squeeze of lemon" or 'just shaving of
lemon peel" in his glass, the thought is far
from both their heads that they are con-
tributing their mites to an industry which
last year imported into the United States ut
the port OF New York a total money value
of those articles of over S2,800,000, on
which was paid to the government duty OF
more than $500 900. Indeed, many politi-
cal economists may be surprised to learn
from the report of the United States In
spector OF Customs that the value of green
fruit entered Tor consumption at this port
in the year 1878 aggregated So, 735, $50. of
which oranges and lemons amounted to
s2,SO2. 966, grapes to 1892, 900. bananas to
nearly S400,0 and cocoanuts to nearly
S2OO,0O The duty collected on these
articles reached $666, 200, the cocoanuts
alone being free.
The extent of the traffic may be imagined
from the fact that the number of oranges
imported In cases last year was nearly one
hundred and seventy millions. and the

number of lemons in boxes two hundred
and eighteen millions. 1t is evident that
the business of raising oranges and lemons
In the Gulf States may one day become
very profitable. The duty of twenty per
cent paid by the importer is not the only
protection offered to the home grower.
Out of the case oranges imported last year
more than sixty millions persisted on the
voyage-a loss of thirty-six per cent, while
in lemons the loss by decay reached twenty
per cent These facts ought certainly to
encourage the raising of such fruit at home.

A Destructive storm.

The HEBALD's special despatch from Pitts
burg gives an account of the damage done
by the storm of Saturday last in that part of
the country. The rain fell in such quantities
that the Monongahela River rose at the
rate of six inches an hour, and the creeks
became 80 swollen as to food the low lands.
The destruction of property has been much
greater than was at Fl rst supposed. Although
our special report mentions but two
deaths-the one of a mother who had sue
ceeded in saving her children, but was
subsequently drowned herself, and the
other of boy who was carried away by the
food-there are rumors of persons missing
who are supposed TO have lost their lives
through the sudden rising of the waters.
The principal sufferers seem to be the resi-
dents of q valley through which runs
Bear Greek, q tributary of the Allegheny
River. Two towns in this valley, about
forty miles from Pittsburg, were swept by
the deluge, and houses. stores, farm build
ings and grain were carried off and de-
stroyed. The railroads and pipe lines were
much damaged, and the effects of the heavy
rain extended for many miles. The saying
that it is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good was. however, illustrated by this
storm. The rise in the river has released
sixteen million bushels of coal and coke
which had been long awaiting shipment,
and the down river towns have been saved
from q coal famine. Five hundred barges,
with six million bushels of coal and coke
left on the rise and the river business is
likely to be brisk for several days to come.

Excursion Flight. and murders.


The excursions yesterday were marked by
fighting and rowdyism in at least two in
stances-one on the steamer Columbia, and
the other, and most serious one, on barge
on which q so-called "club" made an un-
welcome visit to College Point. 1t is
stated that in the latter case the party in
dulged in fighting from the time they left
New York until they reached their destina-
tion, when their rowdyism took more
dangerous form. The excursionists went
to Freygang's Pavilion, at College Point,
and while there o serious row occurred,
during which one man, resident of this
city, was fatally shot and two others were
wounded. An officer who accompanied the
barge made free use of his revolver, firing
the contents of six barrels into the crowd,
From the ante-mortem statement of the
dying man it does not appear that he knows
by whom he was shot; but one person was
arrested. probably on suspicion of being
the guilty party.
The row on the Columbia was fortu-
nately not q very serious one, but it should
nevertheless have been prevented by the
prompt suppression by the steamers
people of the disgraceful scene that
occasioned it. The rowdies. whose
vile language and insolent behavior re-
suited in provoking q passenger to
punish one of them by knocking him down,
were gathered in the immediate neighbor-
hood OF the pilot house, and their conduct
and conversation cannot have escaped the
notice Of the persons in charge OF the boat.
All respectable people we're compelled to
leave that part Of the deck. After one Of
the offensive party had received we'll
deserved punishment and general fight
was threatened it was promptly suppressed
by the steamers people, but they ought to
have interfered long before.
The danger of fight on an overcrowded
excursion boat is its tendency to create q
panic among the women and children. The
Columbia had a very large load of passen-
gers-probably many more than she is
legally authorized to carry and If panic
had occurred many lives might have been
lost. 1t is impossible to keep all disrepu-
table people off public excursion boat,
but any offensive conduct. such as these
rowdies were guilty of yesterday, should be
promptly checked by the steamers men,
who ought to be sufficient in number to
form an effective police.

A Retraction In Order.

The decision OF the Jersey Court of Errors
and Appeals in the Smith and Bennett case
is satisfactory to the public generally as
well as to the persons more directly inter-
ested The faithful counsel for the defence
in particular must feel gratified at the
success of their labors. While they are in
happy frame of mind over their
triumph, would it not be graceful
act to withdraw the unwarrantable
charge of unfairness and injustice pre-
ferred by one of them against the press of
New York in the course of his argument
before the appellate court? The counsel
took occasion to rsbuke the public journals
on two points. They had mistakenly as
serted that without money the unfortunate
prisoners could not make their appeal for
justice, and they had unjustly criticised
Judge Knapp's charge to the jury. The
money solicited as necessity by the kind
hearted minister of the Gospel who
has been so valuable friend to the Jersey
prisoners was actually subscribed in this
city, and has no doubt been useful to the
counsel in the prosecution of the appeal,
and the decision of the appellate court
proves Judge Knapp's charge to have been
open to even more severe criticism than the
public press has bestowed upon it. An
apology to the New York journals will only
be an act Of honorable courtesy on the part
of the counsel for the defence in this in
teresting case.

Cyrus Field and Rapid Transit.

In to-day's HERALD will be found pleas
ant and readable account of an interview
with Mr. Cyrus Field, in which he tells the
story Of his connection with the rapid tran
sit elevated roads and gives his opinions as
to what Mr.. William H. Vanderbilt ought
not to be permitted to do. One of these
days the story of the rapid transit
roads will be regarded as an exceed
ingly important and deeply interesting
chapter in the history Of our city.
Their completion constitutes the greatest
single event since the introduction Of the
Croton water, and the people of the future
will want to be informed of every point and
detail in the story, and will be curious to
know who helped and who hindered in the
great enterprise, who stood in the way and
who pushed behind, and who made all the
structures-to the Croton water works and
the elevated roads-will some day be added
three or four bridges over the rivers, q tunnel
under the Hudson, we'll constructed docks,
sewers that drain the city and the electric
light; and the curiosity of the millions of
people who will then inhabit this island
will be unbounded to know ell about the
Cyclopean race of men who completed these
great undertakings. As partial satisfac-
tion of that curiosity we put on record Mr..
Fields own account of the subject. At tho
same time, and in order to be strictly Just
to posterity, we ought to warn it that all
Of Mr.. Fields contemporaries do not take
exactly the same view that he takes himself
of the importance of his share in these la
bors or Of the robustness of his faith. In
deed, it is extensi ely believed that the
absolute success of rapid transit in this
city was certain and assured before Mr..
Field touched it, and that his part was that
of a wise inancier, who saw in great de-
monstrated mechanical triumph an uncom-
monty good chance for the investment of
money.
