The Aborigines and their Allies.

Although the principal speakers, writers, politicians and thinkers of the country, are now employed in discussing the confound-d Indian question, which discussion is fast leading the country to a correct understand ing of said question and to dislike of the Quaker policy, that has brought so much trouble, loss of life, property and self-respect to the Republic, worthless oily gammons like Gen. 0. o. Howard have the audacity to press their destructive policy upon the Gov ernment, upon the score of economy and justice" to savsges who know as little about justice as do Howard X Co. about the monstrous savages who-through love of gain they are championing.
 We have before us the report of last meet ing of the so-called Peace Commissioners, and were it not that we know those who there spoke their pieces, to be money grab bers and plunderers of Government, people and Indians, we should look upon them as crazy fanatics. The report is quite lengthy, and cannot be handled in this issue of the MINER. All that we can now say of it is that 1t IS insulting to the people of the West and entirely devoid of truth.
 They talk, glibly, of having averted war in Arizona and elsewhere, yet their agents are everywhere robbing the Indian and, by so doing, gradually driving them into war.
 The more we ponder on the Indian situa. tion, the more impressed arc we with the be- lief that the Army is the proper power to deal with reGellious savages, on and of res eryations.

MILITARY lTENs.-Gen. Crook will shortly visit Camp Verde and the Indian reservation.
 Company E, of the Fifth Cavalry, was to have lett Camp Date Creek, Monday last, for Camp McDowell, under its captain, George F. Price.
 The moving of troops from the Territory will seriously interfere with the work of con. meeting Camps Verde, New Grant and Apache by wagon roads. It seems that every wind from Washington blows some evil to this un- fortunate Territory.
 Inspector General Delos B. Sackett, U.S.A. is expected here Monday next.
 Col James H. Nelson, of the Pay Depart ment, U. s. Army, arrived home, from triI to Camp McDowell, Wednesday night Maj Morrow, of the same department, met tho Colonel at Mcdowell with funds, from the Depository at Tucson. Another evidence o the "wisdom" of the Secretary of the Treas ury in having refused to place funds on de posit here.
 Capt. Wilson and his company, of the 5tf Cavalry, have returned from the Verde reser vation to Camp Verde. Lieut.. Schuyler ant command remain with the Indians.
 Capt. Nickerson and command have beer doing good service in the field. One day las week, the Captain got in several good lick on some of the savages who ran away iron Date Creek, killing of them. and capturing and destroying great deal of plunder.

 The Pima Indians, who drove the Amcri- cans from the tract of country just below Maryvillc, where J. W. Swllliug and others located ditch, are decided nuisance, and some effort should be made to coniine them to their reservation. If it is too small let it be enlarged, or if they are to have the priyi- lege of going where they list and living where they choose, let them conform to the laws, the same as the Americans. This year they have burned n great deal of brush and timber from off the land, in order to drive out the rats, rabbits. &c., and to this prac- tice may be attributed, wholly or in part, the barrcnness not only of this valley, but of the whole country. Year after year, the Indians have been accustomed to burn oil the trees and undergrowtb and the land thus left un- ] protected from the rays of the sun, with | nothing to draw the fertilizing dews and re- | freshiug showers of heaven, has dried mp and presented the appearance of desert | when containing all the ingredients of a fertile soi moisture alone excepted
 The Weather | Still continues remarkably cool for the time of year, much to the qualification Of those who are busy harvesting. It is also said that the grain is filling out better than ordinarily. l On Sunday evening there was thunder and | lightning without rain, q slight shower on Monday morning, and thunder, lightning and rain on Monday evening.
 Misplaced Confidence
 ". M Martin, coming to Phpnix with a wagon and an extra saddle-borse, out of kindness took up Mexican boy who wanted to come this way. On Tuesday night they camped on this side of the Agua Fra. In the evening, Mr. Martin having gone little way from the fire, on returning, saw the boy saddlng up his horse. On inquiring what was up, the boy coolly informed him that he was going to skedaddle with the horse, and as a quetus to the whole affair, pulled out Martins six-shooter. which he had just stolen, and threatened to shoot him if he in- terfered. Martin tracked him in Wednesday morning, and procured warrant for his ar- rest. He has not been taken up to this time.

Newspapers

Their value 10 Ny no moans app,o
ciated, but the rapidity with which
people are waking up to their neces-
sity and usefulness 10 one of the sig
nificant signs of the times. Few fam.
lilies are now content with one news
paper. The thirst for knowledge is
not easily satisfied, and books, though
useful-yea, absolutely necessary in
their place-fail to meet the demands
Of youth or age. Our country news
paper is eagerly sought and its con-
tents as eagerly devoured then comes
the demand for the city news, nation
al and foreign news. Next to the po-
litical come the literary and scientific
journals. All these are demanded to
satisfy the cravings Of the active
mind.
Newspapers are also valuable to
material prosperity, They advertise
the village, county or locality. They
spread before the reader map on
which may te traced character, design
and progress. If n stranger calls at
hotel hc first inquiries for tho village
newspaper; if friend comes from a
distance tho very next thing after
family greetings, he inquiries for your
village or county pager, and you feel
discomfortcd II you are unable to find
late copy, and confoundcd If you arc
compelled to say you do not take it.
Newspapers are just as necessary
to fit man for his true position in
life as food or raiment. Show us q
ragged, barefooted boy rather than
an ignorant one. His head will cover
his feet in after life if ho is we'll sup
piled with newspapers. Show us the
child who is enger for newspapers
Ho will make his mark In the world
If you crafty that desire for knowl-
edge Other things being equal II is
rule that never falls Give your
children newspapers.

considered that all these statements of de-
Utilization are accompanied by complaints
against the authorities that are no longer
capable of holding the people in subjec-
ton to forms and ceremonies that they
have outgrown, it will be seen that the
allocution is mistake in that it lays out
an appeal tina. can not save the Church,
but which may be Of service to its enc.
mics. The Pope has lost ground for years,

people with whom he lived were only rec
strained from putting him out Of Rome by
the power and arms Of France AS
freedom Of thought and iberahty
Of politics progressed in other ma
tons. the authority Of the Church
has weakened and dissolved. until now
it is q mere question of polemics what is 'o
become Of the Pope. himself. Europe is
quiet on the subject of the head Of the
Catholic Church. the people contentfng
themselves with waiting for the result
more as matter Of curiosity as TO where
he will go than as interested partisans
bound to provide an abiding place and
refuge for the ark Of faith. The removal
of the Pope to-day would not affect the

est. because the world has come TO the
conclusion tina: the deposition Of Plus *.
is one o: the accomplished facts tina: it is
impossible 10 raise row about.
What seems to be the relief to this view
of the case is this, that what the Church
has lost in political power she has recov-
cred in spiritual strength. The religion
is stronger while the regal and worldly
authority that hitherto attached to it is
dissipated and destroyed. The Pope is
powerless to affect the direction of public
affairs, as some of his predecessors did,
but he is stronger to help reform the
world from its wicked ways. This is lib
orally fair offset, but still it does not seem
to give the party concerned all the salts

TIE M0NEYED CLASS.

Il is worthy o: yemari. that while the
Republican party and its adherents are
abused 70. their poverty and ignorance.
they are really the principal distributors
Of wealth and the main upholders Of edu-
cation in the State. Take the mass of
the Republican party out Of the State and
more than two-thirds of the industrial en-
terprises Of the community would stop
work; and more stores, corner groceries
and special occupations would close mp
than would remain open. The truth is,
the Republicans are the men who earn
most of the honest money in this State
and spend it here. There are some men
in the party who are exceptions to this
remark, but as o rule the laboy ST
the community is in the hands
OF Industrious Republicans. an6 SO are
the wages. It is the rich and well-.o.do
that are pinched at present, because they
will not consent to accept the situation.
They refuse the patronage and friendship
OF the people who really earn and control
the floating capital Of the comm unitys
As this works no particular injury to the
class that elsewhere has the least money.
while It does the mos: labor, we 80 no:
see why any Republican has any cause 20
make himself unhappy abou: it. We can
no. alter it, and we should hesitate TO do
SO if We could: therefore, the bes: thing
for Us to do is 20 allow the !aboying PEG.
pie to have the mos: money. while the
exclusives are cram.ed because they will
insist on being bette. than the balance
