Dear Tom Ism.

The man who originated the phrase "pleading the baby act" hut the nail on the head most decidedly and got a, the true Inwardness of cOwardly re sort of certain public individuals who would enjoy the benefits and profits oi responsibility and at the same tune shirk any attendant ills by pleading ir- responsibility and helplessness. Some what akin to pleading the infanGle net is that of Dear Tom-ism." This latter feature crops out more or less m Arizona Some scrub iH newspaper or public life will start in and william ously abuse an entire section Of the Territory and then singling out indi- yidualS therein, will address them by their Christian name and try to get up a little side lay of childish frankness and good fellowship. For instance The crocodile of the Daily Maneater will publish the half of the Territory and its entire population in the most infamous manner, and the next day will single out some individual of said inhabitants and say, Why, Johnny Or Georgey or Tommy, you know I didn't mean anything h what l said yester- day"
 Allied to the above puerile and inane practice is that of men who will sian der and abuse q public officer or pri- vate individual in print and then send their victim a cringing and cowardly letter in order to cover their tracks or disguise theIr motives.
 The mewling and puking infant is ail right-in its mothers arms; 1t is. simply disgusting when found at the head of a newspaper or in public life.

THE ALTA of February g, contains Gov Saford's letter to THE CITIZEN, reviewing Apache atrocities and mill tary ineficiency in this section of Ari- zona, and also an editorial which ac- knOwledges the trustworthiness of the Governors statements, but its expecta ton that the Cover or will be removed from office for reciting these well known truths in Arizona, Is quite Imaginable, when his own letter says clearly that he is about 10 rehre from office. All who know Governor Stafford well enough 10 speak on the subject, know that he long ago determined 10 retire from office with the expiration of hls term next month, and there would be no opposition worth naming to his reappoin,ment, if he could be induced to serve a third term. The Atlas certain knowledge that Gen.
 Kautz would not reply. &c., is most silly excuse or defense of him, and to the shrewd reader, will do him no good Whatever influence the Capital question may exert in thlS controversy in the conceited and corrupt locality of Prescott, it plays no part here. The lives and property of our people alone enter into the military discussion, and this fact is amply attested by the prompt and almost unanimous passage of bill by the legislature to give the protection due but not received from the U $. Military, at the mere sugges- ton of Coy. Stafford, and the balance of power in that body, through pal pable fraud,) was yielded by members from Prescott Alta, think over the subject again.

Mining Matters


 The Drew-Symonds claim on the Green lode, southwest Of Tucson, Is said to be opening up finely and even ssrpass- ing the expectations of the late pur- chasers. One blast this last week blew down at least a thousands dollars worth of ore. One of the claimants is re. ported as saying he wouldn't trade his mIne now for the Silver King. It Is undoubtedly great mine.
 The MesSrs Hughes and Pacheco have force at work on their discovery 13 miles southwest of town and the ore body opens finely as they go down. II will be remembered that the first as says from this claim went from $4OS to Sl636 to the ton. The ore seems to maintain an even grade all the way, and the min is no doubt valuable.
 Wm. Zeckendorf informs Us that about 90 men are at work in and about the Yellow Jacket mine; that the ledge looks wells, and that richer ore than ever is coming out. The mill will be ready for crushing in a few weeks

ELSEWHERE appear the names ot
 President Hayes Cabinet. Several of the gentlemen named have national
 reputations for ability, integrity and familiarity with public affairs, and we have no reason to doubt the entire fit ness, ability and worthiness of the others.
 Hon. R. c. McCormick's name was pre-eminently mentioned in connection with tine Cabinet in the eastern dis patches, and the San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego press of Cali fornia, have spoken of the worthy and eminent gentleman in terms of the high est regard for his entire fitness for the place, and expressed an earnest desire that he should be a member as have most if not all the Arizona papers His reputation for a high order of ability in public affairs is national, and he enjoys the high esteem and favor of the leadingmen ofthe nation, including President Hayes. We have reasons for saving that he cares more to get out of public life than tO stay in, and perhaps his many jealous friends have urged his appointment rather without than with his consent.
