The Reason Why.

A gay young flop, who was more char
acterized for conceit and impertinence
than wisdom, was in the constant habit
of propounding enigmas and conun-
drums. On a certain occasion he pro-
posed the following: "Why is it that
ladies' are like flowers 2" because
they are beautiful" said one. No."
"Because they are sweet, said another.
emo" because their bloom soon
passes away" said third. emo
Then young lady who had been pes
tered for some time with his attentions,
which she did not mean to encourage,
looked toward him provokingly, and
said, sis it because they both attract
butterfies?"

| How william L. Yancey Came by his
| Death Wounds-An Old Story Re-
told.
George Alfred Townsend, In his Wash.
ington letter to the New York Graphic,
describing the exciting debate in the
House on the Amnesty bill, between
Blaine. of Maine, and Hill, of Georgia,
states that the latter was 6 a rebel Sena-
tor at the Richmond Capital, and struck
Yancey on the back of the head with an
inkstand." AS historian and Mr..
Townsend, we believe, aspires to that
distinction, with the late Mr.. Macauley
as his model-it, is well to be accurate.
A memorable rencontre between Hill and
Yancey did occur at the Richmond Capt.
tal but the wound received by Yancey was
not from an inkstand. We remember
that shortly after the war it was men
toned as o historical fact that William
T.. YanceY came to his end by violence.
The circumstances of his last illness and
death. with the occasion which suddenly
convulsed frame from perfect health
into q wreck and mere shadow, were
written and first published in this city
by Mr.. Henry Watterson, then mem
Der of the Nashville press. According
to this first published account of it, it
was toward the close of the second ses-
sion of the first Confederate Congress
that Yancey broke from the counsels and
influence of Mr.. Davis, and become,
with Henry s. Foote, leader of the
opposition. Mr.. Ben Hill, the Senator
from Georgia. had likewise changed his
front, and was remarkable for the earnest
ness, personal interest, and persistency
with which he sustained the measures OF
an administration to which his allegiance
had been given but late in the day. Mr..
Yancey, it will be remembered, had re-
turned from an unsuccessful mission to
Europe, and was representing Alabama
in the Confederate Senate. Tee question
of navy was under discussion Ii secret
session. The debate ranged beyond

at this session, but that it viii receive
early and perhaps favorable action at the
next session. Knowing that the people
of the Northwest have very decided con-
victions upon the subject of grants to-
this representation of one of the
most knowing men at Washington, that
the aforesaid Northwestern people may
have ample time and opportunity to In
form Congress of their views on a ques-
ton of such vast practical importance.
a OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
There is a great deal of newspaper
comment and talk in political circles
about our relations With Spain, growing
out OF the unfortunate situation of affairs
In Cuba. 1t has even been holly as
serted that we are on the verge Of
war with our ally of revolutionary
times. | have inquired as to the actual
situation from few men of all others
most likely to know the exact truth, and
am happy to state that the probability of.
a war between the United States and
Spain is exceedingly remote. am also
happy to state that men of all parties In
Congress agree that we have no
cause of quarrel with Spain. There
are those who believe that
our Government ought to recognize
belligerent rights of the insUrrec-
tionists in Cuba, while others do not
think the time has yet come for such
recognition. So, unless there be some
political coup not now anticipated, we
shall take our centennial enjoyments,
undisturbed by apparitions OF realities
of the rugged front of grim-visIged war;

ocrats favor the revival of the income tax to
offset the tax on tea and coffee, but it is not
believed such recommendation will be
adopted.
The note of Secretary Fish to Minister Cush-
ing has been published. 1t embodies the views
of our Government on Spanish misrule in Cuba
island for the past seven years, and recites the
numerous causes our people have for COM
plant as relates to the manner of carrying on
the war there, notably the barbarity practiced
by Spain and her evident inability to bring it to
close. The fact of slavery existing at our
very doors forms an important feature of the
grievance, and the leading foreign powers are
called upon fer their friendly Offices III sug-
costing reform. The attention OF Spain Is
called to these facts Estates of Americans
seized without form of law must be released

Chinese measures and movements late

disgrace the Fiji Islands. We are
coming to believe that the most coward

idleness, Ignorance, brutality and self
Ishness. With the hOodlum spirit In

aemsrnI Of the Chirlcahuas.

Renewal OF che Chiricahuas.
The ChiricahEa Indians are to b.
removed from the reservation on which
5hey are now located, to the San Carlo.
reservation. The order has already
been issued from Washington, and on
May 3, Agent JohnP. Clum was direct
ed bv the Commissioner Of Indian At
fairs to take charge of the removal,
and TO transfer the Ch3rioahua Apaches
10 San Carlos, and locate them perma
nendy there While this is about the
most cheering news ever received in
southern Arizona in connection with
Indian affairs, the people do not for 2
moment lose sight of the dangers and
difficulties surrounding the removal.
Perhaps the person who most clearly
comprehends the danger, especially TO
himself, is Agent Clum. His beng
assigned TO this duty was not the result
Of any asking or wish on his part. He
had seen az of the Indian service that
he cared TO see He had faithfully per
formed the most arduous and dangerous
services for paltry salary and a sense
of duty we'll done; he had resigned his
position as Indian agent and his resig-
nation had been accepted And now
without any suggestions from him and
without his previous knowledge this
most dangerous and difficult Of all
missions is forced upon him He has
come to the conclusion, after deliberate
thought, TO undertake the task, under
cetain conditions because of the
great good TO result to the Indians and
people in case of successful removal
, He has nothing to gain and he risks
his life, which is all a man can risk
He doesn't 60 into this gap actuated
by any fool-hardy spirit or recklessness,
He intends TO take every precauuonI
and to guard himself carefully, but if
there is any power in human determin-
alton and calm, cool judgment, he is
going to take every possible ChiricA-
hua Indian to the San Carlos; the i'm
possible ones will probably prefer
death to removal, and they will choose
one or the other.
In this great and benefcent under
taking, the agent wko removes these
Indians viii need the firm and unwav-
ering support Of the military As to
the means to be taken to guard against
a failure Of an effort at peaceful re-
moval, We have no doubt that they will !
suggest themselves TO the surrounding
military authorities and we have no
doubt that every thing necessary will
be dene. In a matter 80 prompted by
duty and common humanity we will
not insult the military by any sugges-
tons whatever. We have faith that
they will meet the requirements of the
occasion, with the proper spirit and
action
And finally, if those on the reseva-
ton, who know these Indians and are
supposed to have strong influence with
them, wish to earn the kindly feeling
and lasting gratitude Of the people of 5
this section of Arizona, and if they I
would avoid the disastrous conse- a
quences to themselves and the Indians t
OF failure in the removal, or injury to v
those undertaking the removal, they can
best accomplish these ends by aiding, 4
to the extent of their power, the trans {
