Mr.. IVAN G. MICHELs, a gentleman who
spent some time in this city last year, col
lecting facts for the Senate committee on
mines and mining, has an announcement in
this issue of The HERALD which will be
read with interest by our citizens inter
ested in mining. The smuggling of lead
from Mexico which has been so success
fully practiced by the ''smelter ring" has
done much to depress the mining industry
in this country, Utah suffering greatly in
common with other producing states
and territories. Mr.. MICHELs, in the inter
est of the government and of the miners,
has been getting at the bottom of this
smuggling business, and as result of his
reports, the secretary of the treasury will
give hearing to lead miners on the 18th
instant. Mr.. MICHELs asks that our lead
mines will at once forward to him such
facts as they have bearing on the subject
in order that the best possible showing may
be made to the secretary. 1t is important
that our mining men will act promptly in
this matter, for all will concede the neces-
sity Of correcting the evil which exists.
Attention is directed to Mr.. MIcHELs' com
which will be found elsewhere
in The HERALD.

EX-SENATOR and x-Governor A1coRx, of

EX-SENATOR and ext Governor ALCoRN, of
Mississippi, is northern man, was a
et-bagger, and is a very pronounced
Republican, and yet he says of the colored
men for whom his party demands so much
from the southern people: The southern
people will not have negro rule. The negro
is not a white man with black skin. He
is d different race. He is barbarian, and
barbarians cannot rule civilized people. His
head is covered with wool; he is sheep
The white man has straight hair like lion
The negro is an infant. He has the fiat
nose, the retreating chin, the protruding
lips of an infant. 1t will take centuries of
development to thoroughly fit him for civil
lizatiOn." AS matter of fact the northern
Republican loves the negro no better than
does the southern Democrat, nor would the
former submit to black rule with any better
grace than would the ex-slave owner. II is
politics for the northern man to demand
that the southerner will let the negro dom
mate him, but it is human nature for all
whites to protest against black rule.

A REMARKABLE CURE.

The newspapers, the doctors, the infdels
and good many really pious Christians
take no stock in the so-called faith cures, :"
and too often regard the believers in these
cures as cranks, if not humbugs and
frauds. There is some justification in this
almost popular estimate of the faith cure
people, for it cannot be denied that cheats
are frequently encountered among them,
and humbuggery is by no means uncommon.
Crankiness also is often met, as
in the many instances where parents
will permit their stricken children to die
before their eyes through neglect and
want, all the time trusting in the myster
ious power of faith to effect cure. Not
few people certainly owe their fail ure to
recover to their implicit faith and trustful-
ness in the alleged "healers," and it is
equally certain that many children have
died because their parents had such conf
dence in the ability of the "Christair
science people that they refused to call in
physicians or administer the generally ac-
copied remedies.
But what are the scoffers going to do
with cases like the one reported from the
little town of Exeter, Clay county, Kansass

years, suffered from contraction of

tried to take the stone from her, but when he
got up from the ground aud picked the gran
lite chips from his teeth he suddenly recol-
lected that he had business matter to attend
to about four miles away. Henrietta had
knocked him fiat with the stone and was
looking at him with bewitching smile and
asking him if he thought the weather was sa-
lubrous and the humidity of the atmosphere

Then Henrietta turned her attention to the
furniture of her cell, which she completely
demolished in a remarkably short time
Emma, her sister, complacently sat and
watched her, putting in little remark of en-
couragement at intervals. Henrietta knocked
over the stove and then denounced the police

shouted. Come and let's wrestle, Emma

SINCE THE defeat, in Massachusetts, of
the proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton forbidding the manufacture and sale
in that state Of Intoxicating liquor, the Pro
hibitionists are wild with rage. They
declare their intention and ability to snow
under the Republicans, whom they charge
with the defelt of the amendment. As the
Massachusetts Prohibiticnists have never
been able to poll $1,000 votes, and as the
Republicans are in the habit of walking off
with the state by pluralities varying from
fifteen to twenty thousand, it is believed
the cold water people are counting on more
strength than they possess. This seems
apparent when it is taken into account that
the majority against prohibition at the late
election was over forty thousand, or about
four times the number of votes the Prohi-
bitionists have been able to muster as a

body. The shoulders were drawn down,
the hip Joint was stiffened and the lower
limb was shortened by the long period OF
contraction. She was unable to move about
with ease, and much of the time was con-
lined to her bed. A few days ago, to the
surprise Of everybody in the little com
munity in which the misshappen sufferer
had lived so long, Mrs. WOoDMAN appeared
on horseback, and seemed well and active.
She still further astonished her neighbors
by asserting that her cure was due to her
faith in Gods power, and told this story of
the remarkable happening to a st. Louis
Globe Democrat representative:
read in the Bible that the prayers of the
righteous availed with God, and reasoned that
if God could restore sight TO the blind, hearing
TO the deaf and strength and vigor to the body
and mind 1900 years ago He could do the same
now and that He would answer the prayers of
His children if made in a humble and truly faith

and, kneeling, poured out my soul TO God. AS l

The neighbors testify to the miraculous
change that has taken place in the lady's
physical nature, though no one processes to
understand how it could have happened in
the manner described by her.

AND NOW they are digging up scandal
and attaching it to the memory of old Cap
tain BEN RICHARDSON, the Harlem million
aire miner who died last February. Uncle
Ben was so well known here that many
of our readers will be interested in the
story, which is briefly this: In the long
ago, BEN was in California, where he was
enamored of buXom squaw, and the
mash being mutual a marriage cere-
mOny was performed after the Indian
rites. They lived together for two or
three years, most of the time at Vera
Cruz, Mexico, where girl baby was born
o them. Ben tired of the squaw
in the course of time and returned to New
York where his lawful wife resided. The
half-breed grew up and married a well-to-
do Spaniard, who died after the birth of a
daughter. The mother went to New Or
leans, where she died a few years ago, the
child being sent north. The child had been
informed of the history of her grandmother
who had been deserted by man named
Ben RICHARDSON Reading the announce
ment of the death of RICHARDSON the girl
went TO lawyers, who investigated the case
and learned that Uncle Ben lived in Cali
folnia in the later '40s, and was probably
the girls grandfather, but as Ben had a
wife at the time of his marriage with the
squaw, the attorneys concluded that their
client could not inherit, being the offspring
of an illegitimate mother. The young lady
does not take kindly to the proposition to
let the matter drop, and in all probability
boarded may be sQuandered in lawsuit
over his will.

A REPORT recently published shows that
in 1870 the Illinois Central, Chicago & Rock
Island, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, moved S,549-519 tons of
freight at charge of 2.423 cents per ton
per mile In 1887 the same roads moved
81, 753, 5gS tons at LA cents per ton per
mile Thus, the cost t. shippers in 1887
was less than half what it was seventeen
years before. This reduction was not
brought about by legislation, but was due
to competition and the development of the
resources of the country. Legislation can
not increase business, nor can it reduce
rates, both of which must be left to the
laws of trade and commerce

THE FISH COMMISSION.
There are as Good Things in the Hatcheries
as in the Sea.


WASHINGTON, May Elm the Associated
Press reports of to-day Colonel Mcdonald,
fish commissioner, sets forth the plans made
by him for the summer. At the request of
the Ohio fish commission, the United States
commission this spring has added toitS reg
ular programme the distribution of pike
and perch, commonly called pickerel, eggs
and fry collection, and Matched at Sandusky.
About eighty millions of eggs were secured,
and these are now being planted in the
waters of Illinois, Ohio and western Penn
sylVania.
The trip of the distributing car to Hi
nois is reported to have been one of the
most successful ever made. The distribu-
ton of shad eggs and fry is being con-
Quoted from several hatcheries in the east
The car will leave Washington tomorrow
on its second trip to the south, with 4,000,-
600 eggs, going direct to Montgomery,
Ala, where the distribution to local
streams will be made.
During the summer months the cars will
be engaged in the collecting and planting of
Indigenous fishes in the Mississippi valley
in the states of Nebraska Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana and Missouri, and new hatcheries
are to be located at Put-in-Bay Fsland, Lake
Erie, which will be the largest fish hatch
cry in the world. The hatchery's capacity
will be 500,000,000 eggs year. At Ever
green lake, Colorado, and Baird's Point,
| California, the several steamers attached
to the commission have their summers
work laid out for them, and it is of great
Importance.
| The Albatross will leave San Francisco
about Junc1, going as far as the Privolow
islands in Berhing sea, where a study will
be made of the seal fisheries, in accordance
with the resolutions Congress adnpted last
session, as well as the general fisheries
along the southern Alaska peninsula. On
her way up, the Albatross will leave a
party of Investigators in Alaska, who will
examine into the salmon fisheries there
under the terms of another congressional
] resolution
