Wise Items.

Perseverance is the best school
for every manly virtue.
Tomorrow is the day on which
idle men work and fools return.
A polite philosopher thanked a
lady who had been singing to a
party for an hour by saying,
Madam, you have wasted our time
charmingly.''
Woman is content to build happi-
ness on any accidental basis that
may be near at hand; man is for
making a world to suit his happi-
ness.-Thomas Hardy.
Events are only the shells of
ideas; and often it is the fluent
thought of age that is crystalized to
a moment by the stroke of a pen
or the point of bayonet.--C Chaplin.
A time is coming when every man
will pronounce even the common
words of his own tongue as seems
right in his own eyes, and be
thought none the worse for it; the
speaking age is passing away to
make room for the writing age.
Thomas Hardy.
You can't have everything you
want in this world. Life is like q
that is too short; if you
pull it up over your shoulders you
uncover your feet; and if you
cover your feet your shoulders must
be bare. However, some people
manage to draw their feet up lit
tie, and pass pleasant night.

Soldiers and Indians in Arizona
 Pertinent QuestAOns-

4 correspondent asks us the fol- lowing questions and the SENTI- MEL will be glad to get correct an- swers for him. Nothing mean about us.
 l. How many years pay ac- counts did an army officer at the Verde Indian reservation have to put up to secure the delivery of supplies he had receipted for, but which were never delivered until the matter was investigated |?
 ?. Was this one reason for break ing up that reservation and trans ferring it's Indians to the care of d civilian agent at San Carlos
 8. Who drew ratiOns from the Indian Departments supplies for Indians employed as scouts at at Verde, and also drew rations for the same Indians from the commissary, and then sold them :
 1. Who furnished @ government army animal to the correspondent of a certain San Francisco paper, for his trip through Sonora ?
 3. Who sent the government printer on a leave of absence from Headquarters of the military De- partment of Arizona, so that cer- tain type could be substituted for those said to have been loaned by an adjutant-general?
 6. Who uses army mules, forage and supplies for personal gain in private surveys and mining opcr- ations |?
 7. Why doesn't Congress stop all these goings-on by turning the care of Indians over to the army
 Verify, childhood mayask more questions than wisdom can an- sWer. We give it up.

We wish the "ready" Demo- crats of Yuma would hurry up their organization to "free the people from the cliques that have so long misgoverned town and county" Till they do, offices are hard to fill. No one wants them. The sheriff talks of resigning and devoting himself to mines. The treasurer has gone to California. Four vacancies in the Board Of Supervisors have been filled dur ing the past year; it's chairman is now in Mohave county looking for business and residence there. The new constable has gone to Globe district without qualifying. The recorder and district attorney seem to be the officels who best hold their grip. Of these, one IS black Republican and the other isn't

A call appears in the Enterprlse of February 6, for a mass meeting of the Democrats of Yuma county to be held at the corner ot =.
 and Second streets, in this town March ?, at seven D. m. This l5 ( move in the right direction and we believe that much gO0C will come of it to this county. There seems to be a strange modesty among Yuma Democrats; none of them, whom we have asked, seems willing to acknowledge be- ing one of the "20 Democrats of Yuma," which is the signature to the call referred to. The best infor- nation we can gather leads us to believe that the movement is led by James Reilly, Esq, our district attorney and a prominent Demo- crat of this county. "DemOcrats living at Ehrenberg and other distant precincts may be repre- sented," says the call very clev- erly. If they cannot come in per son they should by all means send their proxies, which will be used to some purpose if sent to the right parties. This is an opportu- nity, that will not again occur for two years, of laying aside all per sonal feelings and antiquities and joining together harm0niOusly to vote and work for the candidates who are smart enough to secure the nominations. We trust that the Democrats of Yuma county will fall into line and follow the the standard that will be unfurled ! for them March ?.
 Democrats Arouse :! Don'tget up opposition mass meetings and candidates but rally around men who are willing to lead you toavic- tOrious election of themselves Your grand old party has captured the administration. Alameda don't signify. If you can control local elections, you will deserve attention from the national com- mittee. In addition to county of- fees you will secure claim upon Federal appointments. Rally !! Don't distrust your leaders! !! Put none but Amer-no, not that-Put none but Democrats on guard! :!

It certainly looks,as if Fort Yu- ma, the oldest military post in Arizona, is likely to be abandoned. Property of all kinds has been sold or removed, until there is scarcely dose of pills left. From a military point of view there IS probably no longer any need of it. In time Of war, ii necessary, a few battalions and batteries could be rushed down here by rail, and throw up works of defense in 8 couple of days that would be worth a dozen hillocks like Fort Yuma. The Loma Prieta, at the edge of town, commands it con- pletely and in these days of artil- lery is 8 far more defensible posi- ton. But the government has at Fort Yuma extensive and c0mmo- dious buildings. These should be utilized by being converted into a hospital for men disabled by pulmonary diseases. Should the government sell the property, a fine opportunity would offer for private enterprise to establish a sanitarium for wealthy invalids. For such a purpose the climate and situation are incomparable.

A Change Of Judges.

The First Judicial District of Arizona gets a new judge in Hon. Charles Silent, of San Jose, Cal. Judge Silent is 8 man Of some means and with an excellent rep utation as a lawyer and citizen. He has recently become interested in the Vulture and other mines of this Territory and, in many ways, will be valuable accession to our people. Judge Tweed has held the position for eight years, which is now the acknowledged limit of tenure Of office under President Hayes. 4 year ago N. Masterson, Esq, a practicing lawyer of the Third District, was refused admis- ion to the bar Of our Supreme Court, on representations made by Tweed. At the time, the SENTINEL abstained from commenting on or repeating the charges made against Masterson believing that, if true, the matter would be brought before the next grand Jury Of Tweed's court. This was not done. Masterson's conduct and his domestic affiictions turned tide Of public sympathy in his favor and against Judge Tweed. This feeling has worked against Tweed's re-appointment, which was otherwise possible, notwith- standing the Presidents eight year policy. The comments, of certain California journals, on Judge Tweed are, under all the circumstances, in bad taste and uncalle0 for.

Skating Rink at Phenix.

EDITOR SENTINEL
 An important fact, that should be blazoned forth to the world, IS that Phoenix is going to have a skating rink. It is mystery to me how we have existed so long and raised so much wheat, barley, sorgum, alfalfa, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, not mentioning melons peaches, grapes and afew hundred thousand of bacon and lard, with out skating rink. We are often out of sugar, coffee, candles, soap and tobacco, and sometimes our whisky gets low, and we keep happy and prosperous; but how have we done it without a skat- ing rink?
 Just imagine a young gent in paper collar and other etceteraS, with his sweetheart dressed in the height of fashion, skating fu- riously around the rink next Au- gust, with the thermometer rang ing above 100 in the shade. My paper collar becomes limp when l think of such thing.
 Skating is all very well on Q frosty moonlit evening, on the clear, smooth ice of New Eng gland pond, and it may be the

Tbe Citizen says Gen. Kautz is to be banished to the solitude of Angel Island. We have quoted 8 few remarks from that journal, which completely take the wind out of the SENTINEL's rigging, in sailing on this subject. The Miner says Kautz wants to go there but that, perhaps, he cannot be spared from Arizona. McDoweil wants to have Kautz handy, where he can revise Ks. newspaper articles before they get into print. Angel Island is a lonely spot; being plac- ed in command of 1t "is neither promotion or reduction" If kautz really likes this island business. he has only to behave at Angel as he has in Arizona, 10 get himself neither promoted nor reduced to the command of the FaralloneS or CoronadOs. In Arizona he has been @ heavy load for the army to carry. His example has been a bad one to younger officers, who have elected to follow it. Among them they have brought discredit upon large majorityof as gallant, cultivated gentlemen as can be ound in any army in the world.
 The Prescott papers might as we'll consider KautZ a gone cat. They stuck to him, through thick and thin; but with all their infu- ence Kautz goes. The SENTINEL quickly saw that the interests of of Arizona required another De partment commander. We make no boasts-but Kautz goes.
 When we think of the telegram he sent Marion last winter when we recall his appeals to sectional passions to support him in scoffing at the grief of Pima county, be- fore her dead were fairly buried' we are tempted to say something bitter. But, except for drawing his payan rations, Kautz is dead. Some time ago we had assurances direct from the Secretary of War, that he would be removed, and were asked to let the poor man down easy. We will do it. He will never again obtain an impor- tant command. Promotion is henceforth beyond his reach.
 The impression is sought to be made that Kautz goes only because his regiment leaves Arizona. He goes, but the greater part of his regiment remains. 1t was not con- venient to transport the regiment, but it became very proper to re- move it's commander.
 AtAngel Island the quarters are good and he will be made comfort able. ReQuiescat in pace.

preiudcial to his health. Plus TX, who was
brought on a chair carried by four porters,
raised his hand with difficulty and blessed the

Negro Suffrage In Africa,
IN. Y. Tribune.l

The Cape of Good Hope is a long wav off
but negro suffrage is topic which comes
close to Americans. Anthony Trolope in the
course of series of letters to the Cardiff
Times, has something to say in regard to the
future OF the black races on their own CONT
nent. He complains that the very men who
are the friends of the negro hold the theory,
but never entertain the practice of equality.
He says that the Staunchest disciple of Will
berforce and Buxton does not take the negro
into partnership, or even make him private
secretary; but the conviction that the white
man must remain in the ascendant is as clear
in his mind as in that of his opponent: and
though he will give the black man vote in
hopes OF the happy future, he is aware that
when black men find their way into any Par
lament or Congress, that Parliament or Con
gress is to degree injured in public estima-
ton. In British South Africa, the majority
OF colored men is so great that the country
has to be compared to India or Ceylon. rather
than to the Southern American States. When
once the kaffir shall have learned what volt
ing means. there will be no withstandng him.
should the system of voting which now nre
walls In the Cape Colony be extended over a
South African Confederation. There can be
no doubt that the condition of the race has
been infinitely improved by the coming of
the white man; but, were it to be put to the
vote tomorrow among the Kaffirs whether
the white man should be banished out of South
Africa or retaiued, there can be no doubt that
the entire race would go for Punishment,
This may be natural; but it is not the deci-
Sion which the white man desires.
