GOLFER COMING - HOSTILE
 TIES.WILL. NOT CEASE

his way to Arizona and New Mexico
 to embrace set of known murderers,
 and induce them to go to Washington
 to be finally rewarded with many
 thousands of dollars, and bespattered
 all over with -saintly praise for crimes
 committed which shock, all right
 minded and well-informed men and
 women. The hypocrisy of his pro-
 fessions are acknowledged by his con-
 duct, in refusing to come among a
 people he declares to be models of
 innocence, peace and love for well
 disposed whites, until he was assured
 of an ample escort of troops. Of
 course he will never see O., hostile h.
 dian, because: hostile Indians never
 attack large escorts, therefore his
 return will be signalized by a false report that hostile Indians do not exist where they'do roam and exist by the thousand, as the new made graves,
 bleaching bones and pillaged farms and homes, and desolated households sorrowfully. and too truly testify. He don't come out to learn the truth-aM assertions to the contrary. notwith- standing. He comes to pettifog his own case; ;; to strengthen his views without any truthful experience to ignore all truth opposed to his mere as- sertions; to spend the cash of the gov ernment and time of the troops in ma@ing condition of things appear which does not; to further befog sand the eastern masses of well-meaning people-in short, to make black white, and thieving and murder respectable when committed by an Indian.
 In this behalf the New Mexican truly oDSefVes;
 If the government wants the truth in regard to Indians, let @ aComnlis- sioner be appointed who understands thess Indian character, and can faith fully. and intelligently report from his own knowledge what is best fer both parties.
 The San Francisco Bulletin says on this subject:
 It-is announced that, in view of the Apache troubles, Vincent Colyer has set out for Arizona, to make every eff fort, not to force the savages to keep the peace, but to induce Cochise, the | famous Apache war chief, to visit Washington, see the sights, be feted and speechifed at by well-meaning4 gentlemen, whose knowledge of h. dian affairs and Indian. character is hardly superior to that of the Apaches 1 about astronomy. * * * If after 6 ! grand pow-wow at Washington, be will engage to trust himself among4 them. without an armed escort, favor-i able opinion may be entertained of lis reported errand. * | * When, through put the country, ill-disposed persons threeten to murder peaceful citizens, it is not customary to send an emissaryd to induce them totravel long distances to b9 convinced that there is power in the land to bring them to the gallows. That power is forthwith | exerted against them. Why should it be otherwise ill the sase of bloodthirsty5., savages
 Without exception, so far as we have seen, the California press speak in similar language to the Colyer and his mission to encourage and defend ! murder.
 We have some consolation, however | Hostilities will go on under the honest and determined management of Gen. eral Crook-a man whom President l Grant esteems ''the right man in the right place." The great peace press ure of the Eastern States whose peo-t pic, as the Bulletin truly says, have a knowledge of Indian affairs "hardiy superior t6 that of the Apaches about has induced the President i to permit 6 member of the Peace Com to come out and have 8 strong military guard to attend him in his of the temper of 6 peo-
