Facts for "Humanitarians.' ''

Mexican records bear evidence of the fact that all other Indians save Apaches have, at one time or another. submitted to the sway of white men.
 The same records state that Apaches have always lired by murder and robbery.
 Tbe Pimas, Maricopas, Yumas. Papagos, and other peaceable, industrious Indians of this Territory and New Mexico, are living witnesses of the fendishness and faithless- ness of the Apaches-. The Americans and Mcxicans of the Terri tory can point to 1000 graves and mounds, to prove that the Apaches have murdered that many people inside the pest O years. They can also feel in their pockets and look into their houses and fields for proofs of the robberies that have been perpetrated by the savages, who, without cause, commenced the bloody work. And while looking back. and thinking ol all these things; together with broken trea- ties, and the empty reserves where the sasages were recently issued more food than they cared to eat, they are more than ever con- vinced that Crooks Peace Policy is the best for Whites and Apaches alike.
