W EEKLY CITIZEN.
ToADYNe TO THE MILITARY.


  There is disposition upon the part ot some men, and some newspapers, to bow to shoulder straps, and praise and court the military.
 The CITIZEN is willing, when deserved, to give the full need of praise to brave officers and brave men. It regards the military as necessary evil 4 stand ing army is an anomally in a republic, its theories and its practices are all at variance with those of civil life. The trade of the soldier is blood. Human lives and human blood pass current with them as means to win glory and promo ton the same as money does in civil life.
 We know that in civil life men are actuated by selfish purposes and greed for gain. That to secure these ends and build collosal fortunes they are often not over scrupulous as to the ends they employ.
 We know of and recognize no super for cast in the military officer. He IS actuated by no purer motives and IS not more scrupulous than the average busl- ness man, and in his line is just as like ly to use every means within bis reach to accomplish the ambition of his chosen calling as IS the average business man And for military officers in Arizona, where all their little personal foibles and weaknesses are known, to attempt to take high ground and claim to be do- ing it all for the dear people is simply ludicrous.
 The air of injured innocence they as- s1me when they are charged with having -- ambitions motives and that in the game of glory and promotion they have taken the chances of bringing on an Indian war. proves them consummate actors.
 Now the CITIZEN is not prepared to state as an absolute fact that the mlli- tary in this instance is responsible, but certainly there is strong circumstantlal evidence against them
 While that Is the case and the blood of our murdered citizens calls to heaven for vengeance not alone upon the savage Apaches, but on those through whose raachinations they went forth, the news paper that will make itself the trucking toady of the military places itself be heath contempt.
 Murder has been committed by horde Of ruthless savages. Somebod! WAS accessory before the fact. The In dian authorities charge it upon the mlll tary. and the military charge 1t upon th' Indian Agents and other indefinite evil dispose greaersons whom they wagner desi~ z-as interested parties"
 ,pe people of the Territory propos to know who the parties are who Wer accessory before the fact and deman their punishment.
 The CITIZEN in this matter propose to represent and defendth rights Of th neople, and not play either the hired vbeedled attorney of either party.
 With us hursan life is sacred and IS oonseonence. and we do not propose have our attention withdrawn from thi fact by spread-eagle descriptions or ba ties, or by "an the pomp and circumstan' of war"
 If the facts, upon thorough investlg tion, show that the military are not a cessory, either Intentionally or by the blundering, then the CITIZEN will n it,iJ;,.s, s.a.ss, Ii tthe tGst.. but will not pli be willing to do that kind of work.

TIE Alta some weeks ago intimated a fear that there is not in Arizona a con- manoer fit to cope with the Indians. Some of the Arizona papers chided us and said they had the very man that was needed We hope they are right, but it does not look much like 1t just now. Good Indian fighters are scarce, and. when found, should be kept in the h. dian country. Grant, Sherman and Sher- idan might make a sad mess of an h. dian campaign, while an inferior soldier might achieve success. Upton's tactics are wasted on the red rascals. They don't come out in plain, form line of contest and decide a campaign by a pitched battle. Their own tactics must be dealt with on the principle of fight ing the devil with fire Alta Califor- mia.
 The CITIZEN pleads guilty. Subse- quent events have proved the prediction of the Alta too true for the good of this Territory.

THE military officers were so anxious to have that hog-washy account of Sun days fight sent that Lieut.. Haskell, of Gen. Willcox's staff, took the dispatch to the telegraph office, and when the tired operators objected to sending such a mess of trash at that late hour, he paid five dollars and sent them over two bot ties of wine and some cigars. We hope the military are satisfied with their moneys worth of advertising.

FAILURE TO PUNISH INDIAN MURDERERs

In whatever respect Carl Shurz' ad ministration of the Interior Department may have been a success, his admins. tratiOn of the Indian bureau was an ignominious failure. His treatment oi the Indians who were guilty of murder and outrage offered premium for the EepititiOn of the crimes. The Alta Cali fornia has the following, which shows the negligence of the government in the punishment of Indian criminals, and its legitimate fruits:
 The failure to properly punish the murderOus Utes IS bearing fruit. They refuse to keep their agreement, and, after receiving the large payment of money agreed upon as a compensation for their removal to Uintah, they have returned to White River. They will doubtless kill few more white men and women, and then the government will make a new treaty with them and give them more money, arms and supplies of all kinds. Notwithstanding such pro- ceedIngs as these. there are men and newspapers which blindly continue to romance about the maltreatment of the poor Indian. The truth is, that, so far from abusing the Indians, our people encourage them to keep up their prac- tices of robbery and murder. The only instance where justice has been meted out to red scOundrels was when Captain Jack and a couple of his companions were Changed. No Apache in Arizona was ever executed for his crimes, and to-day murder and pillage by redskins are rife in that Territory and New Mexico. Not one of Sitting Bulls mur- derers has been punished, but he and they are beng fed now. The Ponco murderers went scathless. Tine Utes, who murdered white men and outraged white women, have been paid money to move, as stated above, and are now de- tiantiy returning to the scene of their crimes. Not one of them has gone to the ~gallows. Chief Joseph, after mur- derirg many persons, burning many homes and stealing cattle right and left, was enriched by the Government and made a hero of by the Eastern molly codd es. So the whole record reads. We rut high premium on crime by h. dians.

THE correspondent of the New York Herald can attribute whatever reason he chooses for sending his dispatches: that does not alter the fact that press dispatches had to be approved by the military authority.
