Without any doubt that is true.

IT appears that, notwithstsnd-
ing the Indian emeutes in Wyom-
ing and Utah, the aborigines have
never yet attacked railway train,
the "Around the World in Eighty
daysn of Jules Verne to the cou-
trary and Notwithstanding. Thus
far the Southern overland route
has enjoyed the same immunity,
though how long 1t will continue 1t
is impossible to say. Taking the
marked activity of the United
States authorities, and the formid-
able collection of troops in Arizona
and New Mexico, into the count,
however, we are inclined to think
that this immunity will be en-
joy ed to the end. 1t was Victorio's
band which came the nearest to
jumping an overland train, and
Victorio himself only achieved the
distinction of massacreing u few
stage passengers between Demipg
aud the Western terminus of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, a
few days before the line was for
mally opened. In fact, the James
Brothers seem to constitute a more
serious peril than the Indian to the
traveller over the Southern route.
But even the James Brothers, like
lightning, do not often strike twice
in the same place, especially when
the officers are gathering the gang
in at such a gratifying rate.

THE Tucson Journal points out
the fact that, as respects the more
populous and interesting sections
Of Arizona, there Is no cause for
alarm just now. Indeed, that
newspaper takes the ground that
the White Mountain Apaches are
the only Indians that are now on
the warpath, and that they are go
far north and east of Tucson,
Tombstone, Phoenix, Globe, and
other treasure.producing regions,
that there is no occasion for anxi-
ETY.. This is probably true, but we
may add that the alarm which has
been created is so widespread that
confidence can only be restored by
. decisive and exemplary punish
ment Of the White Mountain saw
ages. Until the average tourist,
proepector and capitalist learns
that these beasts have been thor
oughly whipped into subjection
they are not apt to pour into lhe

A GREAT ado is made about al

aud other extensive sections of the
Eastern States are to-day suffering
from most incorporating
drouth. Nor Is that all. Year be-
fore last the drouth In the Empire
State was q thing to marvel at.
Croton and its subsidiary lakes
were nearly dried up, and a water
famine in the imperial city was
only ayerted by Providential rains.
AS a matter of fact, the world will
shortly awaken to the truth that
Southern California has less draw

1T may be that the instinct OF
faithful and devoted wife is, after
all, the truest indication of the
Presidents chances of life. Mrs.
Garfield has all along insisted upon
the removal of her husband to

steadfastly maintained that his re-
covery was sure to follow. If there
were any way Of relieving sensi-
tive people of the wear and tear of
the varying bulletins as to the con-
dition of the President, it would be
. great public blessing. But this
being impossible, 1t is noticed as
curious circumstance that myriads
OF people on the edge of insanity in
the East are passing the boundary
and crowding the insane asylums'

THERE seems to be no doubt OF
the fact that Colonel Chalmers

THE Republican press is very
diligently engaged in the work Of
proving that Vice President Ar
thur is not, after all, such very
bad fellow. The fact Is, outside of
a few pretentious so.calIed politi-
cal reformers, nobody has ever
doubted that Chester A. Arthur is
q very fair and very euiahle rep
resentative OF his psrty-a good
deal better than the average, in
deed. John Sherman and the
humbug Hayes, it is true, tried to
disgrace bin, but we have always
had an abiding belief that he was
incomparably the superior OF eth
er of those political Chadbands. In
fact, as to John Sherman, smug
and complacent aud rich as he Is,
we have always thought, since he
entered fully upon his career as
Secretary of the Treasury, that, II
the truth could be known, he is a
downright criminal. We differ
from great many Democratic
newspapers in holding that it was
the manllpess and self-respect and
not the official laches of Chester A.
Arthur that called down upon him
the wrath of the hypocritical Hayes
ad administration. Within q very
few years after the time Arthur
and Cornell were removed because
they would not resign their con-
nection with the State Committee
of their party, VIM. NJ. Evarts,
Secretary of State of the United
Statea, and John Sherman, Seere-
tary of the Uniten States Treasury,
were stumping New York in advo-
cacy of the election of Cornell as
Governor-of Cornell, one of the
very men they had bounded for
taking g gentleman's interest In
politics. However, just now, the
great American public is in one OF
it's stoIid moods. It can see moth
ing and resent nothing. Probably,
for some years to come, no excess
of Shiny hypocrisy will turn its
stomach.
