 WILCOX, Comd'g Dept.
 It is announced that the committee received dispatch from Secretary Lin coln, saying that the department had no funds from which to supply citizen mili- tia with arms, transportat on and sub sistence. but, that if General Wilcox called for more troops, he could have all be wanted. The dispatch int1mated that General Willco1 had made no call Tor more assistance. If this be true, General Willcox has cer- tainly been most derelict in his duty to the citizens of this Territory. It IS possible that the General has made his acquisitions to General McDowell and he has refused to supply more men. If this IS true, General McDowell should come in for his share cf censure. The War Department is evidently disposed, in a legitimate way, tn stand by the Ter ritory. Hurrah for Lincoln - ED.

Wonders of the Telephone.
ITrnv IirnesH


 An improvement has been made in the telephone, by which the full tones of the human voice may be transmitted. By using the carbon in a pulveriZed form instead of in the shape of hard button, and by using a current four times as strong as before, the telephone IS made to give forth as loud and articu- late sounds as those of the human voice. The electrician of the Metropolitan Tel ephone Company of New York city says: 'I believe there IS no doubt that, after this improvement has been put in gen eral use, the call bell now attached to the telephone can be disDensed with, be cause the voice from the telephone can he heare by any one near enough to hear the bell. While was still in the room a voice came from the telephone, calling for Miss Taylor, lady employed in an adjoining room some forty feet away from the instrument, and yet Miss Fay Tor at once lett to answer the call" Mir. Chinook says that when the voice comes from a long distances. as from New York or Philadelphia, 1t IS necessary to speak loudly, but 1t Is not necessary to shout The new telephone will he used in talk ing between distant cities, as Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago, New Orleans and possibly San Francisco.

SCHOOL SUPERVISION.

SCHOOL SUPERVISION.
 The necessity for school supervision has long been reco gnized. In the early history Of common sch,ol We find tbat they were supported by private sub scriptions, and were under the direct control of their patrons. Parents visited the schools frequently to note the pro gress of the pupils and the methods of the teachers. Communities were then homogeneous and there was little differ ence of opinion as to what constituted the elements of good education, or as to the methods Of instructlOD; but, as communities became more heterogen- eous by an influx of foreign elements, it was found better to contribute to com mon fund, and give the immediate con- trol of the schools to persons selected for that purpose, called trustees. These trustees, supposed to be selected because Of their fitness, were, ordinarily, the souire, the minister and the doctor, who, at stated times, took seats upon the teachers platform, ostensibly to exam inc the schools, but really to air their own wisdom-a practice which, by the way, is not altogether obsolete.
 Voluntary contributions were. after time found to be inadequate to the sup port of schools, because some were un- able to contribute and others unwilling, and thus taxation for the support of schools grew out Of real necessity. The control of schools has, in part, passed from the hands of patrons to trustees, to districts, and finally to the State; the tendency being to a national system. "a consummation devoutly to be wished"
 School supervision to be productive of good results, should be in the hands Of practical educators. By practical educators Is meant those who are actively engaged in school work and not those who at some period of their lives have taught school as a mere make-shiit.
 Teaching is as much a profession as IS the practice of medicine or law. As well appoint teacher to supervise the practice of law as to appoint lawyer to supervise the work of the teacher. True, the lawyer may have received his education in the schools, but this no more its him for school supervion than at court for a few sessions would fit teacher for the bench In order to supervise the work of teachers properly, .he superintendent must have ! practical knowledge of the methods of must understand school econ- 1my and all the difficulties attending the work of instruction.
 To form a correct opinion of the work lccom plished by teacher, in a specii- ed time, implIes an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages under which that teacher has labored during hat time.
 Supervision implies more than a abil- ty to find fault; it implies an ability to counsel. and suggest improvements. For persons not practical educators, to at empt the supervision of schools, is fool sh presumption; yet there are such, vlse in their own conceits, who deem themselves well qualified for this most delicate and difficult task.

PIMA county "is at peace with all the world and the rest of mankind" as a Democratic president once wisely re- marked Tn his inau gural address. There IS not and there has not been a hostile Indian within our borders, yet We are not like our Prescott neighbors, we can not turn a deaf ear to the cries of in- nocent women and children, who are be- ing daily slaughtered in other parts of the Territory. The feeling of sorrow and sympathy prevailing in this city for the other counties now suffering this terrible scourge could not be more in- tense, were the bloody scenes being enacted on our very hearth stones. The people of this city have not only sympathized but have taken steps to express that sympathy in acts as well as words. Pima county has provid- ed Sl0,00O and will put fifty men in the field and will keep them there as long as 1t Is possible to do a,y good service
 
 onded by Pinal, and we hope it will be by Maricopa and Gila. We ask Il e peO- pie of the Territory to contrast this ac- ton of Piiaa county with the cold blood ed selfish response Of Yavapai county in which the capital is loclted, and say whether Tucson or Prescott exhibits the true spirit of fraternal interests in all sections of the Territory. Prescott congratulates herself that there are no savage Apaches menacing her people and tells tine rest in the Territory to look out for themselves. Tucson res ponds with money and men and ifpos- slble will avenge some of the murders committed upon the innocent settlers in counties. These are stubborn facts which the people of this Territory should not forget.

TIE COWBOY QUESTION.

One of the New Mexican papers, chiefly noted for what it don't kno$, has taken occasion to cast slurs upon Governor Tritle. of this Territory, because he has s,ked An appropriation by Congress to suppress lsvlessness. It says that with ont Government aid, but simply by or gauizing the people. Governor Sheldon Ina. ribed out the lawless element m New Mexico. Unless murders, thefts and gel neral cussedness do not constitute Iswlessness in New Mexico. the Cover nor hss g not yet, either with or without . the sidlof the general Government, sup
 pressed lawlessness. Governor Sheldon has dobe a good work, however, and has materially lessened the evil, but he has had at his command a secret service fund provided by the Legislature. Gov. Tritle finds himself without a dollar with hich to operate, yet with the CO., operation of reliable citizens he has made wise provisions to meet certain 
 ofevils which seem connected in this Ter ritory, which come under the province of the General Government to correct. They ate matters which involve interna
 tional as well as Territorial affairs. His recommendation IS intended to provide for tho suppression of cattle stealing
 h. g on the border as well as putting a stop to the murders and thefts which have lately been committed by these des- persdods. If the General Government accepts his suggestions and provides him with the means to carry them out, we pred dict success Iu the proposition consideted in cabinet meeting of posse eomitaths of soldiers We have no con- fidence. In dealing with these ques- tions the Government should be guided by the suggestions of those on the ground, who know the necessities of the case. IT the General Government has sufficient confidence Tn man to appoint him to 5 office like the governorship of this Ter titory, 1t should have confidence ID his ju udgment as to the ways and means u ecessary to accomplish the ends of good government, obedience to law and pea e and security to life and prop erty. Wa hope that the General Govern ment win act in accordance with Gov. Tritle's suggestions, not alone az to the matter ot money needed. but as to the power a1 d authority necessary to secure good local government.

Prof. F. c. II. Van Buren, the scien- tist who accompanied the railroad sur veyinC party from this city to Port Lo- bus recently, has been stopping m the city for several days. This morning he took the stage for Sonora. He saw SO many things in that country which pleased him on his flying trip there, that he has determined to give that sec ton a cluser inspection. He will prOba- bly be gone some length Of time and will visit different sections. On his rr- cent trip he made a coal find which he will undoubtedly investigate. IL is an important discovery, and If extensive enough will give great impetus to all the interest Of northern Sonora and Ar izona. We shall await the Professors judgment on this Gu, stion with interest. The Professor Is well qualified to make examinations in Mexico, as he couples with his scientific knowledge, an &C., quaintance with the Spanish language, and is a courteous gentleman.

The person who attempted this theft, the success or failure of which 1t takes a [. $.

AN INFAMOUS ARTIST

It is about as dangerous in this country to be a witness tc crime as the principal. It may be crime to see another man shoot down his victim. It IS certainly most unfortunate thing unless the witness happens to have money or friends to bail him out. The practice now is to arrest the crim- inal and put the witness in iail for fear be will not appear when the grand jury meets or the court tries the case. # may be months before either the grand jury meets or the court is ready to proceed with the trial, and thus the innocent witness is kept incarcerated for longer period than the full penalty attached to the lesser crimes.
 Now there is a case in hand. 4 Papa go has been arrested for murder and will wait the action of the next Grand Jury, which will sit in November. An other Papago witnessed the foul deed and Is also in durance vlle because he was a witness. He is charged with no crime known to common or statute law, but is restrained of his liberty because he witnessed another mans crime Yet he has before him over six months of imprisonment.
 We are informed that a whhe man under similar circums sances was inPris- Oned for five months in this county. These prisoners share the company and have the same fare as actual criminals.
 We characterize this as an infamous abuse of personal rights and personal liberty, and We are surprised that the Judiciary permit any such treatment of innocent persons. It makes personal rights a question of money or influence, and we denounce the law which permits. such injustice as a disgrace to the stat ute books of any civilized nation.
 The excuse offered for the law IS that it is only for use when the witness has no character and is unreliable. IT the witness possesses those characteristics, m our hlmble judgment hls testimony is worthless and the attempt to swear another mans life or liberty with it is more infamous than the practice of im- Prisoning witnesses. Iftne prosecution has to depend upon such evidence to convict. we are not surprised that juries refuse to find verdicts of guilty.
