The Question Of Inability.

The announcement of President Gar
fields physicians, that even if he re-
covers he will not be able to resume
his official duties before the first OF
January, makes the question of his in
ability, and the proper course to pur-
sue, one which must he met and decid-
ed. 1t seems a perpleXing question
in whatever light it is viewed, since
the trainers of the constitution did not
take temporary disability into account
but thought only of that disability
which makes a vacancy in the Presi-
Dental office. At present there is no
such vacancy, and we hope in all sin
cerity there will not be. But there is a
temporary inability on the part OF
Mr.. Garfield to carry on the Executive
office, and the question arises as to
how the official functions peculiar to
the Executive are to be fulfilled. The
language of a prominent commentator
on the constitution is: "If the Vice
president should succeed to the office
of President he will continue in it I'M
til the regular expiration of the period
for which the President was chosen
Now this is not what is desired. Ii
Mr.. Arthur is called to perform the du-
ties of President it will be simply be-
cause Mr.. Garfield is unable to do so
for the time being, and as soon as he
is strong enough to resume his duties
it is expected that Mr.. Arthur will steI
down to his former position as Vice
president only. A move of this kind
of course would make the President
pro tenn. of the Senate Vice president
while Mr.. Arthur is acting President
We say this is Il perpleXing question
because it seems to be without proceed
ent. But the American people know
how to make presidents they found q
way to get around one perplexing Pres
idential question in 1876, and there is
no reason to doubt that this question
of inability will be satisfactorily dealt
with. In the absence of constitutional
provision for temporary inability, OF
course there might be chance for dis
pute over legal points in any method
taken to overcome the difficulty; but
there is common sense way to deal
with the matter, and it strikes us that
the idea of Il majority of the member:
of the cabinet comes very near it
This is that General Garfield may de-
clare his temporary disability, that
thereupon Vice President Arthur may
temporarily assume the office of Pres
ident, and that when Gen. Garfield
shall have recovered from the temper
airy disability he will be authorized
and empowered to resume the dis
charge of the functions and powers o.
/ the President. Another method sug.
gested is that President Garfield cal
an extra session of Congress, and law
might be formed to meet the emergen.
/ cy. One thing is certain - the peopl,
do not want to spare Mr.. Garfield from
the Executive chair any longer than i,
absolutely necessary to his own vel
fare; and if anything must be done
they desire the matter arranged so a:
to permit his resumption of Presiden
tial duties at the earliest possible day

to keep the car free from dust. The
inside was hung with heavy curtains
and BRUSSELS carpet was laid on the
floor. A bed was also placed in posi-
ton and mattresses provided. Two
large ice boxes were added, well filed
with ice. About forty men were en-
ployed in the work, which was finished
in seven hours. Aside from this car
there was one for Mrs. Garield's own
use, and one for the physicians.

keep the savages at bay until the ar
rival of reinfOrcements. A medicine
man who has been making trouble was
captured.
THE UPRISING.
Gen. Carr was in command of the
force at Fort Apache, consisting of
two companies of the Sixth Cavalry
and one of infantry. After leaving
sufficient to protect public property at
Apache he had but sixty-three enlist
ed men of the Sixth Cavalry and five
officers. The medicine man, who was
ut the bottom of the trouble, has been
for some weeks past predicting to
White Mountain Indians that when
corn was ripe he would raise all their
dead chiefs and the whites would then
be driven out of their country. This
was sufficient to warrant the cOnclu-
sion that preparations were being
made by the tribe to break out as
soon as they had gathered their har-
vests. Gen. Carr was ordered to az
rest the medicine man. He doubted
his ability to do so with so small a
force against the whole tribe, who had
been worked up to the belief that their
medicine man would raise their dead
chiefs. The circumstances attending
the fight were such that it could
hardly have been avoided. An out
break had been feared for the last two
weeks i'll the Apache country. Set
tiers have been predicting trouble.
There are not less than 10000 Indians
on the San Carlos reservation, fully as
many in the Navajo tribe which is lOca-
ted from sixty to 100 miles north of the
country of the White Mountain tribe.
A large number of young bucks of
both San Carlos and Navajo have been
visiting the White Mountains recently,
and it is believed that they were en-
gagged in the fight. 1t is reported by
runners that the fight continued all
day of the 18th. Every hill and can
on was swarming with red devils.
WHO THE APACHES ARE.
The tribe of Indians whose ravages
in New Mexico and Arizona have for
weeks been creating reign of terror
whereabouts, is one of a large family
of aborigines inhabiting the southwest
ern corner of the Union, and the dja-
cent portion of Mexico. For years
they have been a source of terror
wherever they have been. 1t is prob
able that that portion of them who are
in United States territory is 10000
strong, but, so far as is known, some
1900 warriors only are now on the war
path. All the Apaches in Arizona are
concentrated in the San Carlos agency,
and it is by these that the recent fight
was precipitaed. The character of
the Apaches is said to be naturally
no worse than that of other Indians,
but the circumstances of their sur
roundings have made them wilder and
more uncomfortable. They were orig
inally of the same family as the. Nava-
jos, who have been living peaceably
now for many years, tending their
tlocks and their herds of ponies, in
which they have large interests. The
Apaches and the NavGOs speak sub
stantially the same language differing
but slightly in dialect.

Some of the city papers are lament
ing the state of Senator Edmunds'
health. This is misplaced anxiety,
since the Senator's health is in good
condition. The Philadelphia Press
wants to see Mr.. Edmunds in his seat
in the Senate at the next session of
Congress, to urge the measures he
proposes with all the ability and force
which the country has been accustom-
ed to expect from that quarter.

The Illustrated London News has no
sympathy for men of the Guiteau stripe.
Commenting on Mr.. Gartield's suffering
and the cause of it, the News expresses
hope that, ''social opinion will at
length he reused to inflict Il sentence
of the most vehement scOrn and detes-
tatiOn not only upon those who would
perpetrate, attempt or cOnSpire murder
in any political cause, but equally up
on those who dare, by tongue or pen,
to approve of the dastardly deed
This is Il just sentence of cOndemna-
ton, and if it might he carried out
would do much to hold this class OF
men in obcyance. But 'scorn and de-
testation" are not sufficient; there
must be, to effect any lasting change
in this direction, Il wholesome admin
istration of the laws penalty and
most people will agree that there is
ample room now for an alteration OF
penalties to meet the demands of thor
ough justice in such emergencies as
that which the nation is now expert
encing.

An Indian Fight.

fight with Apaches, in which Capt. Hen

besieged in the fort and able only to
keep the savages at bay until the ar

The tide of summer pleasure is at its
ebb. Most of those who have been
seeking respite from care among the

have "broken camp" and are plunging

will soon follow in the wake of the ma

from the north and forbid further de-
lay or dallying, and the vacation days
will be among the pleasant things of

IA DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TOM BSTONE. Tombstone Almost Cremated. One Hundred and Fifty Buildings
 Burned.
Loss Near Quarter of 8 Million
 Dol ars.
Insurance Only Sixty Thousand Dollars

We are pained to chronicle the disastrous fire at Tombstone, which took place on the 22nd.
 The fire first originated in a saloon in Vazina & Cooks block, caused by the explosion of a bar rel of whiskey. It seems that q confusion took possession of the occupants Of the saloon, and there being no fire engine and a scarcity of wal ter, the fire spread so rapidly that it got beyond the control of willirg hearts and ready hands. The wind suddenly sprang up and before night, was swept away nearly S25O,C00 worth of property. One hundred and fifty buildings. adobe and frame, We're destroyed and over fire hundred people left homeless. Most of the property was insured, but at small figures. Our exchanges say that, probably S6O, ,OOO will cover the insurance. The citizens worked manfully in their endeavOrS to save property, and the utmost good order pre- vailed. The debris is beiue fast removed and TOmbst0nt'S people are going ahead with renewed energy and stout hearts to again build up their shattered fortunes
 Those who have plenty and who have been providenlially spared in this calamity are kindly ad
 minIstering to the necessities and wants of the sufferers. Below we give a list of the losses sustained

Comm endable Generosity.

There is no firm in Arizona more liberal to their patrons. or who are more unostentatious in their charity than the we'll known and popular wholesale and retail firm of l.. Zeckendorf & Go. of Tucson. In times of disaster their purse is open and they give with lavish and generous hands. A case in point, almost before the fire of Thursday was extinguish- ed. when ruin appeared to stare many in the face, and the future looked dark and discouraging, they telegraphed to their travel ing agent, Mark Ezekiels, who was here, " Render all possible assistance to our friends who have suffered" By this timely and characteristic offer, more than one merchant will be enabled to start in business again as soon as buildings are completed. It is such actions that show mems hearts, and help to build up and sustain new countries.-Nugget.
 1t is pleasing to note such acts of magnanimily, especially at the hour of distress and need. Such humane acts will, surely, find their rewards and may this firm reap them and have continued success.

ary 18th, gives the following dis
patch from Rush Creek: " Yester-
day q married daughter of Farris
Dalton was buried. AS is custo-
mary, the coffin lid was turned back
in order that the mourners might
view the remains. Farris Dalton
approached the coffin, cast one look
at his daughter and fell dead.
There were also three married sis
ters of the deceased present, and
almost instantly they all fell into a
swoon, and with much difficulty
were restored to consciousness.
The father never gasped after he
fell. Terror was depicted upon the
faces of all present ana a thrill OF
horror shot through their souls. 1t
