"A truly lameniable case do indeed

ArlzOnans and theIr Governor.

The Evening Post, Journal of Con- merce and other leading eastern papers have from time to time spoken kindly and justly of the people of Arizona and Governor Stafford, and The New York Times of November 25, has the following excellent and merited tribute to both:
 We are apt here to think of the people of Territory like Arizona as rude semi -barbarous and blood thirsty, and of the Territory they occupy as of small value or importance. But In this we do them injustice. The Vest ern Territories contain very large number of peaceful, industrious, and intelligent citizens. Roughs gather in the mining camps; but the rough, the rowdy, does not pursue the steady toll of husbandry. The people of Arizona are in the main an excellent class of citizens. Their Governor, A.. P. K. Stafford, is highly intelligent, humane, aud wise man. He has lived many years in the Far West, and among the Indians; and Is well-known in the Far West for his humanity and justice to these savages. He has now within the limits of his government several tribes of peaceful Indians, who suffer with the whites from the Apa- ches. Among these Gov. Stafford has tried to established schools; he has, with the help and support of the Territorial Legislature, established a system of free schools in the Terri tory; and all the acts of his admins tration shows that in selecting him for the place he holds, the President chose wisely.

Work of the Bandits.

We have heretofore published the interpretation of our extradition treaty as given by the Supreme Government of Mexico, and pronounced 1t as very bad, and that 1t could but engender more slaughter of our citizens, for it practically said that any citizen of Mexico might proceed into U. s ter ritory and rob and assassinate whom he pleased, and return and receive the protection of his government - in plainer terms still, it was an official invitation to citizens of Mexico to rob and murder Americans on American soil with safety assured in advance.
 Ever since, more or less of our peo- pie have been slain by Mexican ban dits, and latterly within period of 30 days, six were so murdered, and five of them in most barbarous manner. It is apparent to all here, that this terrible slaughter must grow better or worse. There is no use to say to men while seeing their neighbors butchered by the whole. family, that our own government accepts as defensible the Mexican interpretation of the treaty, mad hence they must abstain from re- sistance of any kind. Simply because national exposition of law declares 1t to be inefficient to prevent or even restrain human butchery, will not forever satisfy those who are any day liable to be killed. In spite of everything except cure of the evil, terrible retaliation will follow. There are those who believe that Governor Pesqueira, of Sonora, Is anxious to step the fendish slaughter of our peo- pie by his own, but that he cannot use official power to do so in the face of his Supreme Governments prohibi- tion; yet we think he will in some eff fective way cooperate with our citizens and officials in their endeavors to stop a system of murder which he must know will otherwise soon be applied against as well as by his people. The massacre of the Baker family, as elsewhere detailed, will again forcibly bring the subject to his attention. Prominent Mexican citizens of Tue son will by petition represent to him that some measures to suppress such atrocities must be taken regularly or irregularly, and we still trust he may help to avert the most shocking calamities. No mere words will lon ger answer the demand of our people. Right action must be taken and that without much delay.

Mining COmmiss1oner's Report.

Hon. R. c. Mccormick has our thanks for the Report of the United s. Commissioner of mines.
 That portion relating to Arizona, covers fifty seven pages, and compar- ing it with our observation, we regard it as quite full and correct, and com plimentary to the Territory. The ob- ject of the Commissioner has been to make an exhibit of the present condi- tion of mining industry ill the country, rather than to show what 1t may be
 by labor, capital and skill; yet the report before us treats quite literally of the varied capacities of this Terri tory and tells why they are not more fully developed.
 The report says truly that (" the agri-
 "cultural resources of Arizona have
 "been underrated; and in referring to the grazing qualities it says, in speaking of the Gadsden Purchase,
 "there are millions of acres of the
 {" best grasses, and that country would "be covered with cattle ranches to- "day, as it has been when first settled "by Mexicans 100 years ago, were it "not for the savage Apache and the insufficient protection which the Government accords to settlers" Of the Prescott section, the report says "as a grazing country this region cannot be surpassed. A thick growth of grama and bunch grass !" covers the whole country, not alone |" the valleys and plains, but the very |" tops of the mountains, giving to the "pine woods of this region the aspect " of beautiful natural parks" As to mining resources, the Territory IS credited with abundance--evena sur prising number and extent; and not one-third of the area Is prospected, and hardly visited by whites. All industries are either prevented, retard- ed or broken up by the savage Apa- ches, but even now the mining districts adjacent to the Colorado River are allowed to "offer excellent chances " for investment of capital" /"
 Many agricultural valleys, mining districts and mines are separately treated with care and favor We can bat wonder that the report Is so con- plete. Commissioner Raymond chief ly bases the chapter on Arizona upon notes taken and arranged by MT. A. Eilers, who not only exhibited great industry under adverse circumstances while examining the Territory, but skill and honor in compiling the in formation acquired. All the people honestly interested in Arizona, will be pleased with the report as a whole. Whatever of imperfections a close reading may perhaps discover, will easily be excused upon grounds en- tirely creditable to the commissioner and his splendid deputy, Mir. Eilers.
