AGENT TIFFANY.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish bit of special pleading for Agent Tiffany from our correspondent at San Carlos. Our correspondent assures us that Agent Tiffany is not responsible for the Indian trouble, because he foresaw it months before and warned the military, but his warnings were Unheeded. The trouble with this defense is that the statements of the Indians, corroborated by subse- quent events, go to show that the diff culty grew out of the unnecessary fears of Agent Tiffany, which led Gen. Carr, at Tiffany's request, to arrest and Kill the medicine man upon whose shoulders it is now attempted to lay the whole re- sponsibiity. Gen. Carr has had long experience with the Indians and the rec ords show that he foresaw what would be the result of carrying out TlffanYs request. And he did not go until he left on record his prediction that It would precipitate an outbreak. But Tiffany insisted upon the execution of his infamous, and what appears to have been wholly unnecessary order. The results of that. the killing of Lieut.. Hentig and seven soldiers, and the out rages upon citizens which followed are familiar to the readers of the CITREN and we will not repeat them here. We have yet no information that warrants any other conclusion than that these events grew out of the Cibicu affair. If this conclusion is correct Agent Tiffany is responsible, and his line of defense, if he has any, is to show that he only appealed to the military after he had exhausted all the other means at hls command, and that there was good oc- casion for the arrest and killing of the medicine man. And until he does make that kind of a defense the CITIZEN will regard him as the author of the misfor- tunes which befell settlers in the vicinity of the reservation.
 As to the general management of the Agency the CITIZEN has had little or nothing to say. That matter has been investigated by government authority and the Inspector, it Is reported, has advised Agent TIffany's removal We presume that report was made after an examination of the books, records and all the data that could be obtained, and the investigation undoubtedly extended over longer period than ten days, anu in our judgment should be worth some thing. We have no desire to do Agent Tiffany or any one else injustice, but an Indian outbreak and the killing of the inhabitants of the Territory IS an lm- portant matter, and when 1t was wholly unnecessary, as this appears to have been, the responsibility should be placed where it belongs. and the newspapers Of the Territory should not be mealy- mouthed about it either, and if they are, they are unworthy of public con- | fidence

TIE INDIAN SCARE.

Parties in the East, who do not know where the San Carlos reservation is, nor the location of our mIning camps, con tinue to write to friends and citizens of Arizona making inquiries about the safety of mining camps, and whether they are in any danger of being attacked by Apaches. For the information of such persons and all others who wish to visit our mining camps, We will state that they can do so with perfect safety. They are in no danger, and never have been. Mining camps in Arizona are us- ually able to take care of themselves. Miners are the last people in the world that hostile Indians interview. They are usually well armed, are mostly old front iersmen, and many of them have had their turn a. Indian fighting. They are "pizen on Indians of every kind and the Indians know it. Indians are not afraid of soldiers, who " toot the bugle 5 to warn them of approaching danger, but they dread the frontiersman, who hides among the cliffs and behind trees and rocks as the Indians do, and who never fail to get the best of the red devils.

CITIZEN.
ONWARD MARCH.

The CITIZEN has always held that Tue son was destined to become the great commercial center of the southwest, and we heartily endorse an article in a morn- ing cotemporary which calls the atten- tion of our citizens to the great necessity of more liberal expenditure of money in public improvements in Tucson. Hitherto, the citizens of Tucson have not taken that broad and comprehensive view in the advancement of our material interests that the situation called for. But it IS gratifying to note the change which has taken place within the past year. A little more than a year ago, the CITIZEN, through its local columns tried 70 impress upon property holders the necessity of building sidewalks, but the suggestions were not favorably received at the time, but number of those who opposed the construction of sidewalks then have, during the past few months, built sidewalks, and are now strongly in favor of extending them along the principal streets. The city authorities have also taken a step forward; the grade of several streets has been estab- hshed, and houses may now be built without running the risk of being two or three feet above, or below grade.
 The question of sewerage is important, and a iudicious outlay of money in the construction of sewers would greatly conduce to the health of the community. We need good wholesome water, and every encouragement should be offered to responsible parties to bring such water in, but "nO trading franchise should be granted The future of Tue son is brighter today than ever before. That this will become a great railroad center there is no doubt. Tucson IS the commercial center of the southwest, and we should see to 1t that she becomes the manufacturing center also. Then when our railroad system gets little further advanced we want large reduction works, capable of reducing all kinds of ores. Arizona will soon take the lead Tn the production of the precious metals, and then We want United States mirt. The Corastock mines have ceased to fur nish sufficient bullion to supply the Car son mint; bullion will have to be trans ported from Arizona if 1t remains at Car son. It would be much better to re- move the mint to Arizona where the bull lion is produced. We cannot boast very much of our agriculture in Arizona, still we can produce a large amount of grain, and, with the exception of potatoes, can raise all the venetables and all the fruit to snppIy the Territory. Our graslng lands are not appreciated; we have mil lions of acres of the very best grazing lands,-gnd they only require water, 1/cmch may be had by proper efforts, al- most anywhere to make 1t valuable. However Snuch We may differ on poll tics, religion and other questions, We should all unite in our efforts to ad- vance the material interests of Tucson and Arizona

Now that th.she is at.


 Now that ts1eTe Is temporary Hull at .SsHr'carlos Agency, we should not suf- fer our ardour to cool in our efforts to se- cure the removal of the Apaches from Arizona. They are good Ingins to-day, but bad tomorrow" We cannot trust them. We cannot trust the men who are usually put in charge of them. The fear of the Apaches has kept thous- ands of good men out of the Territory, and has prevented the investment of millions of money in our mlnes. Re move the Apaches from our Territory and in less than five years We shall be ready-knockiDg at Uncle Sam's front door, to be admitted as one of the sOver- eign States of the Union, with pOpula- hoE Of from 1500O0 to 2O0,000 souls. When the committee which has been in trusted with circulating tue petition for the removal of "Tiffany's pets" comes around, don't fail to write your name down. and if you cant write your name make your mark. We want the sigma ture of every man in the Territory. It will be seen by special in to-day's Cir HEN that Globe has resolved that the Indians must go. That is the sentiment of nearly every portion of the Territory, and it only needs united action to rid Arizona of these lazy, treacherous vaga- bonds.

MORE INDIAN TROUBLES EXPORTED.

A special to the CITIZEN from Wilcox says that the Chiricahua tribe of Apa- ches have broken out and have stolen some stock. The dispatch further states that the Indians were going south and the authorities have warned the people of Willcox to be on the lookout for them. The Chiricahuas have been To- cated at the sub-agency, which is situ- ated on the Gila river between San Car los and Camp Thomas. According to the last census they number 3i6. AL though not numerous, if it is true they are bent on mischief, they can do a great deal of damage before they can be cor ralled again. Our dispatch gives no clue to the causes which have led to this sud den outbreak of a tribe that has not been connected with the former trouble. The citizens will undoubtedly charge it to the machinations of the military, who they say are anxious to make this trouble amount to something. Upon that point We shall have nothing to say until We. receive further advices from the front We certainly hope that later intelligence will fail to confirm this new misfortune.
 LATER.-Our reporter at San Carlos confirms the report from Wilcox of the outbreak, or at least departure, of the Chiricahuas from the sub-ageney and gives the names of the chiefs leading them. Their connection with the dead Cochise is a circumstance which will eI- cite apprehensions. As yet, however, no murders have been reported.

THE telegraph continues to furnish us with the names of members of the Cab met who will withdraw and of those who will take their places; but we have noticed in times past that newspaper cabinets sometimes fail to receive ap pointments. The subject furnishes ma terial for much speculation, but amounts to nothing in the end, Senator Jones IS also reported to be carrying confidential messages between the President and Senator Conkling. This gossip serves to fill up newspapers, but we shall have to wait until the Senate meets on the 10th instant to learn what course the President will pursue.

San F-,nc;sco dinascb states tba

A San Francisco dipacch states that last fall the appearance of finely execut- ed counterfeit S10 pieces was noticed in that city and Sacramento. The queer coins were made of babbit metal and lead and were electroplated. Other than being a trihe light they were undistin- guishable from the genuine eagles and were more than an unusually dangerous production. The cities mentioned were soon flooded with several thousand dol lars worth of the queer, snail tradesmen being the principal sufferers. Detect ives, after a month of labor arrested a woman named Antonette Lawson yester- day while attempting to pass one of the counterfeits. Several other base pieces were found on her. A man named Law Ter is in jail awaiting trlal for making the commercials.

AS engineer of the Colorado Central railroad has been in Arizona some time, and at Tucson during the past few days. It is hinted that his mission here Is to look up new fields into which to stretch out thei- narrow-gauge road, which has already become such a power in Color ado. We trust these surmIses may prove true. Arizona would welcome the ad- vance of the Colorado Central The field is a good one, and the great narrow gauge road could do no better than to eend B pointer in this direction.

THE Republicans of Wisconsin made a very fortunate nomination for Gov ernor. General Jerry Rusk will make a strong run. He is able, incorruptible, and personally one of the most popular men in the State. He served during the war with distinction, and was noted fer his unhinching courage. For two terms he represented the banner Republican district of Wisconsin in Congress, and he enjoyed the respect and confidence of his associates. He is man who has risen in spite of early disadvantages and by virtue of native ability, great energy and persistency, and rare tact and good judgment.
