ARIZONA SENTINEL. .
A WARNING VAIL.

v lightful homilies. The first one is merely T recital of a few facts and fancles in regard to the sO- cial condition of Arizona, and the insecurity of life and property in the territories. It took for its text a few senational telegrams from New Mexico, but breaches the sermon or Arizona. Unlike an orthodox discourse, it hardly adheres to the truth, il every in- stance, and neglectS to point a remedy. The people of these frontier territories fully realize their condition in having to con tend against alf.friendly Indi- ans on one hand, and wholly hostile cowboys on the other. The people know their condition and, possibly, know the remedy that the Stock Report fails to point out. But the second ser mon this journal breaches thor oughly settles the whole question - of its own duplicity - and shows that it is not actuated by any motives of truth orsincerity, but by wholly mercenary ones. We will give few extracts from this interesting article, and let our readers judge of of the con. sistency of the tale. It prefaces by relating story of a man who came to Arizona, succeeded in getting considerable capital in- vested in certain mining districts here, and who was robbed Tn Benson, in broad daylight, by "Curly Bill" But one fact is evident from this narrative: - that the man was in gambling hell, was "rolIed," and came away to whine about it. It goes on to say:
 How can the business men of that TerritoryssojOurning i'll this city have the cheek to organize a Mining Bureau here in the face of such an infamous state of things at home? Better be at home organizing against the bands of thieves and cut -throats, who are a disgrace to the name of American citizens throughout the civilized world.
 All of which is good, so far as practicable; but
 The telegraph and press of Ari. Zona do not report One-tenth part of the deviltry of the white out laws, and then only In an eXcuSa- tory, cowardly and trifing man ner. They rather take pride in recording the deeds of Curly Bill, Billy the KId, and that sort of human wild beasts at large.
 That this is a direct falsehOod, no one should know better than the Stock Report. If it knows anything at ali about associated d press dispatch reporters, 1t must be we'll aware that nothing loOses by passing through their hand:- except truth. But that the local press of Arizona takes pride in recording deeds of outlawry, puts the cap sheaf upon this elaborately wrought stack of lies. Now, here is where the shoe pinches:
 It is next to impossible to write with any patience concerning these matters, beyond warning people against investing S1, or setting foot in such crime-curseC secti,uS of the country. In the end the old Sierra Nevada noun tains of California are a safer and more profitable field for mining operations, and manifold more pleasant and accessible. WithOu some radical move on the part Q the better disposed people anC local authorities of Arizoua, etc. or on the part of the general gov ernment, and that WithOutl fur ther delay, life and property thereaWay will be as unsafe a among the Thugs and other wilC beasts of Asia.
 What disgusting twaddle What silly platitudeS! Granting for the nonce that all of this i new and true, is it not wei known fact that there is alWay more or less danger attendan upon the development of every new country? Were not ou forefatherS mastered by Indi ans? Have not men had to con tend ag9inSt dancers and DriVa
