A SECRET ORGANIZATION IN ARIZONA

If there is any such organization as the one described in the subjoined tele- graph dispatch emanating from New York, It IS certainly very secret one, at least no knowledge of it has ever reached this office. We hardly credit it, but still the people have too good cause to take this matter into their own hands and wipe out the reservation sys- tenn as far as Arizona IS concerned. It is possible the circulation of this report may stimulate the Indian Department so that there will be less cause for com plsint than heretofore. A New York dispatch gives the following informa- tion ID regard to the matter:
 It has been learned by Government officials that a secret organization of I.2OO men has been formed in Arizona, who are bound by oath, in case any more raids are made and murders committed by Apaches, to enter the reservation and slaughter men, women and children. Governor Tritle, approaching the gravl- ty of the situation, has had orders issued for troops to be removed from the fixed posts to the passes usually travelled by Indians after leaving the reservation, so as to head of any hostile bands. Here tOfOre 1t has been customary for Gov ernment officers to grant permits to leave the reservation On passes for the alleged purposes of hunting. It Is said that most of the murders committed in Arizona have been by Indians bearing these passes. Through the efforts of Governor Tritle, the issuing of such passes has been revoked for a period of SIX months.
 The numerous murders of the settlers in Arizona are charged to corruption and bad management on the part of Government officers. 1t Is sad that Indians are hired for six months osten- sIbly as scouts. They are thoroughly drilled by Government officers in the use of arms, and at the end of six months they are discharged and other Indians employed in their places. After being discharged they are well fitted to do in- calculsble mischief in plundering and numbering settlers, and through the dis honesty of Government agents and set tiers they are abundantly supplied with the means Of active warfare. The cart ridges used by the marauding Indians have been found to bear the initials U. $. No cartridges have these letters ex- cept those furnished by the Government to its suboriinates. The large number of such cartridges in possession of the Indians IS accounted for by the fact that the agents claim to use cartridges for the slaughtering of animals far in excess of the number that can possibly be needed for such purpose. It is also charged that the number alleged to be used in target practice Is greater than is used in service ID any part of the world. Governor Trtle IS very active in quiet ing the disorders in Arizona Territory, and will have the earnest support of the Government in breaking up the abuses.

IT is downright mean in the Star, ai- ter making a bargain and sale of the capital to Prescott, to turn around and try and sell it to Phenix. However, one of the results of the Yavapai fraud will be the moving Of the Territorial capital probably to Phenix, II for no other req son than to get it out of a community which stops at nothing to accomplish its ends. It IS useless to expect pure legis- lation or pure administration of the government when such loose ideas of morality prevail at the seat of govern unent

THE reported strike of rich ore on the 600 foot level of the Contention mine al Tombstone is of great importance to the mining interests of the whole Territory
 Upon Tombstone mines the reputation of the Territory has chiefly rested. The wonderful p-oductiyeness of that camp has attracted the attention of the world. It has now reached the critical epoch in its history. Several of its chief mines, notably the Contention, and Grand Central, have reached the water level. What they prove to be at the water level will determine the question of the per msnancy of these great bonanzas. This strike in the Contention at the water level seems to settle the question and insure the permanency of the mines. This find affects the Grand Central, both mines being on the same vein. We have an abiding faith in the Tombstone mines.

THE selection of General Grant as a member Of the commission to propose a new treaty with Mexico, is a very proper one. No public man in the nation has taken more interest in Mexico than Grant He has visited the country and posted himself on its resources and pos abilities, so that he knows the advan- tages to be derived from a wise and lib- eral commercial treaty. He is well known in Mexico, and is on personal friendly terms with the public men Of the country. He has also done much to turn the attention of capital in that direction. The necessities of q treaty framed to meet the new condition of af- fairs is very apparent. The ultimate connection which the great lines of railroad now in process of construction will tend to establish, can be made a great advantage to both.

Ar the opening of the Denver eIposi- tion Judge Kelly appropriately remark ed: "No longer is mining or manufact- uring empirical; it is systematic, scien- entific; the prospector and the rude miner and their methods have been sue ceeded by the science of our own uni versailles and those of Freiburg, of Der lin, in Paris and in London. Science of the hands of all the world comes to these mineral regions to aid you in de- veloping them, to shed the blessings of your labor throughout the world. and to share the wealth that rewards your la bor."

The TrienniaI COncIaTe.

Arrangements have been concluded with the railroad company by the Trien- nial Committee of Preparation for the Knights Templar COnclsve to be held in San Francisco next year, for reduced rates on the different lines. Tickets from the Missouri river by either overland route, S75 for the round trip. If the tourist goes East by different route from which he came, S25 extra will be charged. Negotiations are at present in progress with roads east of Omaha, and it Is thought probable that the fare for the round trip to San Francisco from New York or Boston, will be fixed at fl00.-I Oakland Times.

A Wud FemaIe From UeIena.

A nude ColOred woman, wild as a gorilla, is startling the people of the MarveH section, twenty miles out from Helena, Arkansas, on the Midland Railroad. She has been seen several times, and the last time threw young lady who was horseback riding into hystera, and with a grunt, not unlike that of a wild hog, jumped up and ran into the forest. At the time of her discovery she was burrOwing into the side of the road. catching and eating cravfsh. which she ate claws, hide and all. As yet. nothing can be ascertained as to her identity, but IS very black, and tOams at the mouth, when angry, like a wild animal at bay. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

TIE dangerous element throughout the East is Democratic, and when the Territory sends a Democratic Delegate to Congress they conclude that the dan- gerous element predominates and con- trols matters here. This tends to keep out capital. The interests and reputa- tion of the Territory demand the cleo ton of a Republican Delegate.
