Sir r. Temple read most striking
paper before the British Association on
the cradle of the Tartar world. the gi-
gantic Asiatic plateau usually 1000 feet
high, which stretches from the Hima-
laya to the Altai and the mountain bor-
ders of China, covers more than 1000,
600 square mies-two Indias-and is
walled out from civilization by mount
aims 10000 feet high. Though partly
desert-as in that strange dried sea, the
Desert of Gobi-much more is still fer
tile, while there is reason to believe it
contains some of the richest mineral
districts in the world
No territory is so little known to
Europeans, yet probably from hence
came many Of the tribes whose pressure
drove the barbarians upon Rome; while
in the tenth century its clans so in
creased in numbers and in kind Of
civilization that in the thirteenth cent
ury Jenghiz Khan and his successors
ruled armies of 100000 cavalry, threat
ened the whole world, and conquered it
from the Yellow sea to the Baltic. A

AFTER year of active investigation,

the Government is now on the point of
throwing up the sponge in the Star
Route trials, and permitting the public
thieves to 60 forth scot free. Hundreds
of witnesses have been brought from
distant States and Territories to testify
in these cases, the most eminent law
yer in the country have been retained
as counsel on either side, and nearly
$4,000 have been expended, all, as il
now appears, in order that Attorney
General Brewster and Colonel Bliss
might be able to bring these cases tc
such termination rs would not offend
the delicate sensibilties of the dorsey
combination"
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1882-07-06

THE trial of the star-route conspira-
tors, at Washington, the conduct of
which so far has every appearance of
farce, is likely to fail for lack of
sincerity or ability on the part of the
governments prosecutors. If the re-
spectacle thieves who, as mail carrying
contractors, feeced the government out
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
by fraud and trickery are let of with
cut punishment, those representing
the government in the prosecution will
stand before the country as either in
competents or something worse. There
is no shadow of doubt in any intelligent
mind as to the guilt of the gang, and
the evidence is so overwhelming that it
would seem as if nothing short of a
stupid or an intentional mismanage-
ment of the case by the lawyers who
are supposed to represent the govern
ment could prevent their conviction.

should not cease Instantly. The work
ceased instantly.
