THE London Times in a late issue,
 referring to the smallness of our reg.
 ular army says:
 The truth is the Americans have no Army because they are all army; they
 have no soldiers because every Amer
 ican is a soldier. There is hardly
 such 8 thing as a military profession,
 because all learn something Of the art and practice of war The emergency for which they want fighting men is distant, inasmuch as they may be said to have the whole continent. They will never go 10 war except entirely from choice, with plenty of time for preparation, just where and when they please, and therefore, with ample leIs- ure tO raise an army for that purpose. They are not likely 10 have a Civil War sgain without previous political stages. AL the last Civil War the Regular Army did them more harm than good, for its best officers were SOutherners. The United States has thus no need of a large standing Army ready for immediate service, and the ambition would argue ignorance oi their own resources, and a foolish imi- tatiOn of the Old World States, unhap- oily compelled to watch one another armed cap-a-pie England stands ID this comparison half way between the New and Old World. She has no occasion to keep up lines of fortresses or systems of Notifications on a thou sand or more miles of frontier. She has, too, other work for her men, who also find other work for themselves. She has to be content after trade. man. lfacture, merchantmen, and colonies have had their pick of the people But, though it would be idle to make a comparison which excludes COmpen- sating circumstances 1t is, neverthe- less, impossible not 10 feel a certain degree of envy at the very easy way in which the Americans meet the great est of our burdens and difficulties. It Is hard to say which aspect of the case sounds the pleasantest, No Ar my" or " All Army "a mere hand ful of Regulars, or every American a soldier The United States manage to keep, it may be sad, the whole of their able-bodied population ready to respond to a cry 10 arms. They do this so well as thoroughly tO be respect ed. for there Is no Power in the world that would not make some trifiing con- cession rather than plunge into a war with the United States.

HE CITIZEN.
L o CAL HATTERS.

THE sad event Of the week is the death Of Judge John Titus, one Of the most prominent and widely known citizens of Arizona The deceased came here in the Fall Of 1889, bearing United States com- mission as Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court Of Arizona. This position he nIIed until the Summer Of 1874, when he was succeeded by Judge Dunne, since which time he has uninterruptedly remained in Tucson, in the practice Of the law. evi- dently believing that this climate was beneficial to his broken health.
 Judge Titus was born in Lancaster conn ty, Pennsylvania, and was for some years resident in Philadelphia, where he filled several official positions and where his family, consisting Of a wife, two daCgh- ters and son, have long resided. Thence he went to Utah as Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court Of that Territory. He ad- ministered that ofice for several or tt most turbulent years In Utah'e ;roublous history, and among his papers are the highest commentators from the Depart ment of Justice for his conduct thereof
 Judge Titus was so we'll known in Ari- zona that any pen portrait Of him must seem tame. or a tall majestic figure, clas- sical features. suave and courtly manners and well moduIsted voice, his personal presence was an open sesame to attention and respect. His open ald frank man ner Of address to high f.nd low alike on whom he had the slightest claim of ac- Quaintanee made hiT3 hosts Of friends. Perhaps his most marked qualities were his retentive memory and his great con- mand Of the English language, pure and undedled. The rEsoundlng proportions, the incisiveness and strength Of some Of his sentences vEre something to remem- Der. -ks rugged dignity and quaintness Of many e his expressions gave rise to frequent c1sracterisuc stories. At dinner one day, ia reply 10 some remark ofJudge Titus, the late J. E. McCafry Jocosely re- marked, Your head Is level there, Judge" What did you say was the mat ter with my heat?" asked Judge Titus quickly and in his most earnest and im- posing manner. Any sketch Of Judge John Titus character would be most in- complete without saying. that as Is com mon to strong mental properties he pos sessed inhexlbility Of will. prejudice and opinion. and these produced their natural proportion Of conflict with his iellOw-men.
 To the hour Of his death Judge Titus re- mzined ia f1u snd perfect possession Of his mental faculties. At his earnest re- quest, his physician and closest friend, Dr. J. c. Handy, had told him of his ap- preaching dissolution some days before it occurred. h his own words. he was not afraid to cie." and upon being assured or the nesrne>s Of the end. he calmly and methOdlcally arranged his affairs. Lesv- Ing with his friend, the doctor, the dispo- sltion Of his not extensive effects here, he also gave him several hundred dollars 10 pay of any slight local debts, even to the uttermOst farthing. And so, having put his house in order. he wrapped the mantle Of his couch around him and laid down 10 pleasant dreams.

An Introduction,

The Miner of October 13, has an In- sulting and abusive article on Dr. King of San Pedro, simply because the doc tor on behalf of the San Pedro settlers, tried to call the Governments attention to the imbecility and negligence of the military in the face of h. dian outrages and murders. The Min CT says: No one here seems to know who Dr King is, and perhaps we have given him more attention than he de- serves" Well, as it isn't very pleasant for men to be brought into contact without an introduction, suppose we introduce Messrs. King and Butler to each other:-
 Mir. Butler, this is Dr. King, an hon. est tille- of the soil. He came to this Territory about year ego for the pur- pose of securing q home. He had no government behind him CT friend to aid him. He had a clear head and an honest heart and good right arm, and he went out on the San Pedro and took up place for cultivation. Dur ing his residence there he has seen his neighbors shot down in their fields and his own life and property rendered insecure from Indian depre- datiOns, with no adequate military pro- lection. He saw soldiers lying idle all over the Territory at the same time. He is an intelligent man ard good citizen and heads a complaint to the government, of his own and neigh bors' wrongs, and thus comes to your notice.
 Dr. King, this is Mir. T. J. Butler, alias "deartom," poor, weak minded failure in life, who would never have had the sand or sense to get to Arizo- ma, of his own volitiou or prompting Ever slnce his arriva' in the Territory, with genuine snob ins.,nct he has done all in his power to fswn to evil in place. So it happens, doctor, that when a poor, miserable settler is driven in desperation to carry lis wrongs and woes to the door of the nations cap ital, this Butler in name and nature gravitaies to his natural fiunkey level and exclaims, "Aw, blaust my bloody hies if ere hisn't a common ranchman who wants to know, you know. Demme, if e 'asn't lad the haw6acity to com. plain of General Kautz 'imself Great brass buttons, did you hever 'ear of such a thing? liar we nation? Who in ell is this Dr. King? Els hevi- dently a hincendiary character, hand hif we don't nip i'm hin the bud the first we know there'll be a horder from Washington, directing the military to break up 'eadquarters ere hand to go south hinto the field hand stay there huntil further instructions, hand then hill lave 10 write hall my hown he'd itorials, demme."
 There you are gentlemen, nicely in- uoduced, and now make yourselves

FROM several sources we have lately
 heard the most fattering accounts of the present management of the San
 Carlos Indian Reservation, under the management of Agent Sweeney. The
 Indians have for some time received only half rations on account of the greatly reduced supplies and still there is no sign of discOntent or trouble. In fact by constantly hunting and bring ing in large numbers of deer they have saved largely of their reduced rations.
 In lieu of the rations saved and not drawn, they get ration tickets and when they have sufficient of these tickets they get therefor cattle. These Indians have now quite number of cattle and are as proud of their new possessions as any white settler could be of his. The idea of property and permanent possessions seems to have the same attraction to their savage minds as to the civilized mind. IL is a study to see one of these sons of the forest using up his fingers and toes in an endeavor to count how many cattle he VII have to own before he can properly be considered a cattle king. The people of the Territory are never better pleased than tO learn Of the con tentment and prosperity of the Indians on the reservations.

THROUGHOUT the county, east and south of Tucson there have been heavy rains at intervals for several weeks past. h town we had another heavy rain last Sunday evening. h all directions the grass and other vegetation grows rank and high, significant of much fat on the ribs Of cattle and corresponding fat on the rios of men,-aud xomen, mayhap. 4 ride into the country in any direction from Tucson would convince one that this is the most enyiable portion of Ari- zona. In few years we shall have rsil' road connection and developed mines and artesian water and thriving communities. Let us but cultivate virtue and we may be happy yet.

A THoUGRTLEss small boy came into TEE CITIZEN office the oIher day and asked us to lend him 8 small quantity of concentrated lye As pure and truthful as we know ourself to be, the suggestive ness of such & request made us vince a little and alter the departure of the boy with his internal lye, we dropped into a train of conjecture as to what would be the effect oG the editors of the Miner, Enterprise or Sentinel If deudish boy should suddenly appear iC their respect i've offices and call for cold concentrated lie. Would not the request be veritaole hand writing on the wall to them in it's retributive suggestiveness, or are they so callous that even such conscience traught words would fall unheeded on their ear or ears?
