Yellowstone Park

OF the four national parks OF the
west, the Yellowstone is far h largest,
says John Muir in the April Atlantic.
1t is a big, wholesome wilderness on
the broad summit of the Rocky Noun
tains, favored with abundance OF rain
and snow; a place of fountains where
the greatest OF the American rivers
take their rise. The central portion Is
a densely forested and comparatively
level volcanic plateau with an average
elevation OF about 5000 feet above the
sea, surrounded by an imposing host
of mountains. Unnumbered X shine
in it, united by a famous band OF
streams that rush up out or hot lava
beds, or fall from the frosty peaks in
channels rocky and bare, messy and
bosky, to the main rivers, singing
cheerily on through every difficulty,
cunningly dividing and finding their
way east and rs to the two far-ofr
seas.
And besides the treasures common 10
most mountain regions that are wild
and blessed with a kind climate, the
park is full of exciting wonders. The
widest geysers in the world( in bright
triumphant bands, r dancing n
singing i'm it amid thousands OF boiling
springs, beautiful and awful, their ba-
sins arrayed in colors like
gigantic flowers; and hot paint-pots,
mud springs, mud volcanoes, mush
and broth caldrons of every color and
consistency, FLASHING, having, roaring,
in bew-ildering abundance. In h ad-
jacent mountains, beneath the living
trees the edges of petrified forests are
exposed to view like specimens on the
shelves of a museum, standing on ledg-
es tier above tier where they grew,
solemnly silent in rigid crystalline
beauty after 5waying in the winds
thousands of centuries ago, opening
marvellous views Jack into the pears
and climates and life of the past. Here,
too, are hills of sparkling crystals, hills
of sulphur, hills of glass, hills of Gin
ders and ashes, mountains of every
style of architecture icy or forested,
mountains covered with hOney-bloom
sweet as HymettuS, mountains boiled
soft like potatoes and colored like a
sunset sky,-a' that and a that, and
twice as mukle's that, Mature has on
show in the Yellowstone park. There
fore it is called wonderful, and thou
sands of tourists and travellers stream
into it every summer, and wander
abou in it enchanted.

The Name Tragedy.

The case being left where it is, the
president may wait a reasonable time
a reasonably short time-for Spain to
discover and punish the perpetrators of
this most horrible and d~astardly
crime, unparalleled in the history of the
world. If Spain neglects or delays to
do this, then should open a chapter of
action on the part of the United States.
This terrible tragedy has stirred TO-
90, 900 of American people to the depth
of their being. They will not permit it
TO be forgotten. They will not allow it
to be lost in the red tape of diplomacy.
The least they a demand is that the
a~ssassins shall be ferreted out and pun
shed, and all possible PREPARATION made;
and this demand is made for them by
the plain facts reported by the board
of inquiry, restated by the president in
his message to congress, and communi-
Gated by him to the Spanish govern
ment.
If Spain will face the duty she is
called to do today before the civilized
world, so a it will be we'll. If Spain
does not do this, it will become the
business of the American republic to
see hat it is accomplished in other

or Blind

Many persons are talking about the
o%utburst of patriotism in the south on
the Spanish question as if it was un-
expected. Their surprise is the only
thing that is surprising. No intelli-
gent person of any party or locality
had any right to doubt the south's pa
triotism in the Spanish affair, or in
any other affair which may threaten
to bring the country in conflict with
any other nation. In a moral as well
as in a physical sense the south has
been reconstructed for a good many
years. South Carolina is o as loyal
as Massachusetts,, and, it is safe to pre-
dict, would contribute Is many men,
in proportion to the population, to the
governments service in a foreign war.
Persons who doubt this, or who is sur
prised at it, are either inexcusably big
oted, or show a strange blindness to
the drift of public sentiment in the
south in recent years.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
