PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Public schools are now open at Tucson, Florence, Yuma, Prescott, Phcnix and Ehrenberg, and we hear very good reports from all of them The free school system has now become fixture in Arizona and from the interest that is manifested ill all parts of the Territory we believe it will be maintained and sustained in the future, so that all the children within our borders will be enabled to secure an education. No other act of the people could so un- mistakably demonstrate their intelligence as that of providing the means to educate the rising generation, and no other act will have so beneficial an effect upon the future of the Territory. It will be the means of making useful members Of society of the boys and girls who are now growing up. It is demonstrated fact that in proportion to the advance of edu- cation, vice and crime decrease. So the money we pay out in building school houses and providing for schools will be more than repaid us in saving the expense ot building jails and maintaining criminals. Parents toll and work to gain wealth to leave their children after they are gone. Many times this wealth proves positive damage, and is seldom advantageous. Children who inherit fortunes often in consequence become dissipated and eX- travagant and seldom possess the same energy that they would, had they been thrown upon their own resources. Hence the best gift parents can give their chil- dren is good education. No misfortune can take this from them and with it they can carve their way through the world and make an honorable record as useful citizens The good we do while living will endure when we are gone. He who only lives for himself lives for very poor purpose, and has but little real enjoyment. Just in proportion to the kindness and assistance we give to others will our en- jOyment be enhanced, and no one can neglect the responsibility of giving a helping hand to elevate and educate the rising generation, without doing himself an injury.

THE SAN DIEGO UNION says:

The growth of reXas may be understood by reference to the vote boiled a few mOnts ago for Governor The entire vote of the State was 100000, indicative of ,050,- 900. In 1880 the population was but 604, ,000, and in 1870 it numbered SlS.000. An in crease of nearly a quarter of a million in less than three years is absolutely wonder ful. The best blood and energy of the south are concentrating on her magnifi- cent plains.
 The great wave of immigration must soon reach Arizona. Our unequaled mines, genial climate, free pastures and excellent agricultural lands cannot much longer be overlooked

ABOUT the poorest business that can be gagged in at the present time in Arizona is raising grain for sale. The contract price to which it has been reduced is so low that with the greatest industry and the strictest economy farmers cannot afford to raise it, at the same time if farmers would turn their attention to other classes of products, they could do very well and would soon cause demand for barley and wheat which would insure a good price for what they do raise.
 The tobacco and cigar trade with Sono- Ta is very large and there is no reason why we should not raise our own tobacco and make our own cigars. We import immense quantities of sugar from Sonora and the States It is demonstrated fact that we can make as good sugar here as is made in Sonora, and the profit of making 1t is much larger than raising grain. We should make our own leather and no time should be lost in starting woolen manu- factory. The statistics of the Territory show that the average yield of alfalfa per acre last year WAS ten tons, and with ten acres quite stock of horses, cattle and hogs could be kept in good condition. Every encouragement should be given to our mining interests. Those who have not means can work and those who have should assist them with the development of our mines. We can soon develop 8 home market for all our supplies By helping the country We are helping our, selves. Let every one do his part and be. fore two years the Territory will be alive with industry and prosperity.

Col. JONES and Dr. MagruGer found the two men that were murdered by the Apa- ches between Salt river and McDowell. place. Dr. Magruder says that as soon as he saw the two men murdered he put away his gun, because he knew there was no danger of the Apaches remaining near the road after committing such crime There is good deal of good sense in that suggestion. Where depreGations have not been committed for long time people generally travel very careles.ly, when in fact there is more danger then than i'm mediately after an attack.

IT is now quite probable that New Mexi- co will be admitted as 8 State into the Union. We sincerely hope that such may be the case, and we see no good reason if the people desire State organization why 1t should be denied. The Territory now contains over 100000 people. It has been an organized Territory twensy-four years, and it would seem that by this time they ought to be sufficiently schooled in the science of government to know how to run State organization. With two sena- tors and a representative from New Mex ico, this neck of the woods along the Mex ican border will be far better looked after than now. In railroads, telegraphs and on the Indian question, New Mexico and Arizona interests are identical, and we shall hail with joy the full growth and in- dependence of our sister Territory.

OUR dispatches ot last week told of the terrible murder by Indians of Messrs. Toomey and Handel on their way from Mcdowell to Phenix, and the following letter, narrating an incident connected with the murder may be of interest
 FLORENCE, A. T., April IS, 1874. Sir: Mir. William Rowe, wife and little boy were going to Mcdowell. When about four miles on the road, the boy saw something behind a bush which they at first thought was an Indian but finally concluded was a coyote. Farther on their way to the post they met two men, with whom they were well acquainted, who were going to Phe- nix where they lived. Mir. Rowe and party went on to Mcdowell, got what they want ed and started to return and near the same place where they saw the supposed coyote they found the two men spoken of, lying killed and stripped naked, with both legs broken and the head of one smashed with a rock. The men were Daniel Toomey and Paul Handel of PheniX.

PHENIX, April 23.-Hon. John Smith left for Mcdowell this morning accompanied by the Prescott party, whom he has invited to stay with him a few days.
 It has been very cold the past few nights and fears are entertained of much damage to the fruit crop. Some very nice straw berries are in the market.
 The ditches crossing the streets are all being fumed improving the streets con- siderably.

The highest mountain on the Pacific coast Is found in Alaska. It is called Mount St. Elias and Is Is, $50 feet above the level of the sea. Mount Whitney in California Is next highest being 15,OOO above the level of the sea. Mount Har- ward is the highest in Colorado being 14,- 270 feet. The San Francisco mountains are undoubtedly the highest in Arizona. We believe their night has not definitely been determined yet, but they are proba- ply about If, 900 feet high.

BY our dispatches of last week it was

BY our dispatches of last week it was stated that "no officer in the service o1 the government stands higher than Gen. Crook in the estimation of the entire De- partment of the Interior"
 We are glad to hear this, both from the fact that General Crook undoubtedly has a better knowledge of the best mode oi dealing with hostile Indians than any one who is connected with Indian affairs, and also that any hostility that might arise at this critical time would jeopardise the fair prospects we now have of permanent peace and perhaps entail upon us years of war. The ins and the outs around res ervations very seldom agree. The outs are always dissatisfied with the way the ins are doing the business. They gen. erally play the part of philanthropy to the poor Indian and are anxious for investiga- lions so that they can tell what they know about the misusage of the savage and the corruption of the agents and em- poyees. And should they succeed in get ting a change they are always willing to sacrifice themselves and take employment, not for the money they are to get, but simply for the love of the cause. Who ever has any thing to do with the manage ment of the Indian business will have to meet and contend with these elements. Whether soldier, Christian orintidel it is all the same. If he is honest his reputa- ton will become soiled, perhaps quite as much as though he were dishonest. And place it in any light you may it is rough road to travel, and about the last place an honest man should seek to fill, for no compensation he may receive will pay him for the islander and abuse that will be heaped upon him. If he undertakes the work as Christian duty with the expec- tation of making martyr of himself, then he will be pretty sure to be accom- modated. But we are glad to learn that there is no rupture between the war and Interior Departments and that General Crook, who has dole so well will now be allowed to finish the work, without any more commissioners being sent out to in- vestigate and take testimony from the outs, and finally report a mass of non sense that mistifes matters worse than eyer. Gen. Crook now thoroughly under stands the business. He knows every Apache in the Territory, he is just and humane and if allowed to follow out his own judgment he will before another year permanently settle the Apache ques- tion.

THE Apaches wounded R. B. stubble- field, on the 9th instant, near Camp Verde. So says The Miner. A few Apaches put in an appearance last week on the other side of the Cienega. We have not heard of any depredations yet in that vicinity, but they are probably looking for a chance to make successful strike and travellers should keep sharp look out.
