A NUT FOR THE SCIENTISTS.
Great Change in the Appearance of Strip Of
Country-Upheaval by Internal Forces.

MoNTRosE, Col, Aug 5.-During the past ten
days rumor has been wild regarding some
strange changes on large tract of land on the
Cimarron river. To get at the facts Tribune
Republican representative visited the scene.
Leaving CiEarron station, on the Denver & Rio
Grande horseback, a ride of nine miles
brought me to the house of Samuel Wells. From
here northward two miles brought to the
scene which was first discovered on Sunday, July
%, by man hunting cattle
The country, which was naturally hily and
broken. with a heavy covering of trees. was
found TO have been visited by an internal erup
tion, which had displaced tract about two miles
square, causing large lake to lose its water and
its bed to stand at an angle of forty-fve degrees
Where there had been hills, valleys now ap-
peared, while the valleys were upheaved into
hills. Trees stand in all conceivable shapes;
some of them being reversed with their roots
freed from dirt, standing skyward, while the
leaves and branches were buried in the debris
The whole section is much changed to
make il unknown to those who heretofore were
acquainted with il.
party of scientists are now the ground
taking observations, and photographing the
principal points of interest.

LARnR AGAINST LABOR.

There is a break already in the scheme to
compel the members of the New York cigar
unions to join the Knights of Labor, and
three manufactures have announced that the
men now out may return as union men as
Knights, no discrimination being made In
short, these shops have gone back TO the old
way, and will not look to the Knights to keep
them in men to the exclusion of such rs are
not members with them. It was short
sighted policy that got the manufacturers to
consent to such a policy of prescription as to
require that their employees must not belong
to the unions they had founded, but must
leave them to ally their fortunes with the
Knights. If the Knights Of Labor are to be
respected in their organization, it is hard to
see why the cigar-makers' unions should not
be respected as well. 1t cannot be doubted
that the cigarmakers' unions have been estah-
lished for the mutual benefit of their mem
bers, and, if this be SO, it is apparent that
they have as much right to have voice in
other labor organization. There is apreiudice
among the older labor organizations against
the Knights of Labor in many instances.
and the members Of the former are
slow to confie their intimate interests to
the keeping of an organization as quick to 60
out on an expensive strike as the Knights
have been on frequent occasions. Labor
should be organized and for years has been
organized. The Knights Of Labor is by no
means new idea, and it is not to be thought
that members of older organizations will in
every instance choose to give up the advan-
tages they have acquired through long years
of organization to go into an experiment.
Labor should be free to do as It pleases and
to do the best it can for itself. 1t is not the
privilege of organized labor to make war on
the individual laborer who is not member of
any organization, nor upon any other or
ganization. The object of organization
should be to free, not to Cypress, labor. The
purpose should be to protect labor against the
possible encroachments Of capital not to stand
between ii and the opportunity to work for
what it chooses to accept. If there be men
in the city of New York or elsewhere who
prefer to remain in the organizations they
have belonged to for years. there should be
no attempt on the part of the Knights Of La
Dor to break up their organization nor to
trample on the rights that SO dear to all
citizens. The ''scabs" in this country, who
vastly outnumber those in labor organizations,
could as reasonably ask that no man be en-
ployed who is member, of any labor union.
The only way to do is to allow labor the
greatest liberty to get the. best wages it can,
and not to be thrown out of work arbitrarily.

Not long ago an American citizen was i'm.
prisoned in Spain for more than fortnight in
violation of treaty rights. On his return to this
country he laid the case before the State Depart
ment, which investigated the matter and notified
the victim that he had good case against the
Spanish government and was at liberty to go TO
Madrid and bring suit in his own behalf! The
experience of Spanish dungeons, which the cti-
zen already had, was sufficient for bin, and he
did not go
subsequently, the Canadian government has
been Selling the fishing fleet of the United States
in revival of an obsolete law. The purpose of
these seizures was simply to drive the United
States into allowing importation of Canadian fish
duty free. The State Department undertook to
stop these aggressions; but the only vessels that
have been released were released by the owners
giving bond as required by the Canadian courts
Mexico has imprisoned several American citi-
zens lately. In one case the arrest has been de-
clared by the State Department itself to be
plainly inadmissible. In another q man arrest
ed on United States territory was shot without
trial The State Department has made repre-
sentations and there the matter rests to all pres
emit appearances.
The policy of James G. Blaine, as Secretary
of State, has been decred as containing alto
gether too much jingoism The charge may
have some truth; but does it not seem, on these
facts, that enough jingoism to protect American
citizens in foreign countries Is decidedly required
in the State Department.
