Goats and DOGS.

In some parts of the West goats are
placed in sheep pens to drive away
wolves, q service for which their superb
or butting powers peculiarly fit them.
The experiment has been t1-iedin Hunter
don and Somerset Counties, NJ j., with
complete success, as a protection for
sheep against dogs. Two goats, it is
said, can drive away dozen dogs, and
two are about all that it is necessary to
keep with moderate-sized flock. As
soon as dog enters the field at night
the goats go at him, and send him rolling
over and over In short order. A few
doses of this heroic treatment prove
quite enough for his dogship, and he ia
glad to limp bowling away as best he
can. Formerly. the farmers say, when
q dog entered sheepield at night, the
timid creatures would run wildly about
and cry piteously. Since the goatrhave
been used to guard them. they form in
line behind their sturdy defenders. and
seem to enjoy the fun.

What the Country Needs.

Fewer scrub cattle and more good
ones. Fewer wire pulIess in popular
conventions. and more industry.
Fewer men who seek Office and more
men whom the office seeks.
Fewer loafers about railroad stations,
fewer corner stores, and taverns. Few
er impetuous young men: eager to rush
into print and raise the devil generally.
Fewer Juvenile statesmen, who are ea-
ger to rush into the places their seniors
and betters ought to occupy.
Fewer leaders to knuckle to popu-
lar preiudices when wrong.
Fewer great men made to order and
of small material, and thrust in front of
men who have capacity for greatness. -

THAT article in the New York Times. painting Es-kim-in-zin, of this county, in the colors of saint and denouncing the white settlers of the San Pedro as cut throats and robbers, was penned by that vigorous bible pounder and premium hy- pocrite, Gen. Howard. Howard is the man who made treaty with old Cochise, few years since, and hugged the blood stained old beast to his bosom with the arder of man who had found his affinity. Es-kim-in-zin was Cochise's first officer and came in for his full share of the Gen erals deathless affection. No Indian in the Territory has cut more innocent throats, perpetrated more indescribable atrocities than this same Es-kim-in gin. In cruelty and craft he has no living peer among the Apaches, and he remains among the white settlers on the San Pe- dro, not because he has conceived liking for the peaceful methods of civilized life, but because feud between him and the hostile Chiricahuas makes it dangerous for him to pass beyond the settlements at present. Human hearts, like water, run to meet their level. which accounts for the bond of perfect sympathy between Howard and Es-kim- -in-zin. It would be blessing to the world in general and Ar izona in particular, if they both should meet with speedy removal from this "yale of tearsn

These fig ures are official, and the Sentinel, in its guilelessness, gave them away. Accord ing to these figures, the census returns of Yuma county must have greatly exag

Obituary.

No sadder news ever shocked a commu- nity or fired people with righteous in dignation, than the intelligence of An drew Halls murder, received here Mon day last. The many virtues which are oft discovered in man only when death has wrapped him in her chill mantle and criticism is disarmed by the tomb, were in him recognized and exalted daily dur ing life of honest activity. No embla- zoned epitaph is needed to set forth his integrity, kindliness of heart and manli- ness of action. The indignant grief which burns to-day in many hearts, the sorrow and tears of those whose hand will never press his again, and who will ever miss him, speak eloquently of our loss.

THE Republican Convention, held at Phoenix this week, nominated Judge De Forest Porter for Delegate to Congress, and Hon. A. E. Davis for Supt of Public Instruction. This nomination insures the election of Hon. G. H. Oury. Judge Porter is popular socially, but weak as congressional candidate. His standing at Washington is not of character to com mend him to the voters of Arizona. We refer to the circumstances which led to his resignation as Judge of the 2d Judi cial district. Briefly stated they were as follows: Charges of corruption were pre- fered against him, and instead of attempt ing to refute them he went to Washing ton and asked for sixty days leave of ab- sence from the Territory. The depart ment replied in the negative and inform. ed that charges were pending against hin and that two men had been sent out tC investigate them. They urged him to gc back to Arizona and confront his accusers
 Instead of accepting. their advice he re
 signed and thereby confessed his inabil

 4 few facts of personal observation at the Denver Exposition may bs of interest to yourself and friends of Pinal and Gila counties. Mrs. Scott and self arrived here on the 7th Inst. I find the sxposi- tion grounds incomplete and it will be the first of September before everything is in order and properly arranged. I be- lieve the affair will in the end be grand success and rebound to the untold inter ests of the mining states and territories of the Great Vest AS yet there are very few visitors of note, that Is to say capit- alists from the east or foreign countries In the first instance the State of Colorado has not as yet offered any Inducements to sight-seers either home or foreign The whole thing is a monopoly gotten up by the hotel and business men of Denver, to- gether with the railroad magnates. I am ereditably informed that every imagin- able line of trade, even to hotel rates has been raised at least one third above the usual prices, since the opening of the Ex- position. Since I have been here there has not been exceeding one hundred wis itors (strangers) either day i'll the Expo sition grounds. The cause is high tariff on the visitors pocket. There has been a committee appointed to wait upon and in terview the Exposition Autocrats, togeth- CT with the railroad magnates, to try and arrange that the tariff on siCht-seers may be reduced to travelling and living ratel to enable them to come to this Grand National Mineral Fair

WE HEARTILY endorse the Stars de- mand for the prompt abolition of the San Carlos reservation and the complete ex- termination of the pestilential Apache.
 Last fall we advocated this policy as the only one that could or would insure Ari- zona lasting peace and security. We said then, and we say now, it is the height of folly, in the light of history, to hope and expect that the government will change its methods of dealing with the Indians
 Ever since the adoption of the reserva- tion system and the substitution of moral suasion for physical force in the controll- ing of the Indians, the western people, who are the only ones in a position to know, have denounced the policy as i'm practicable, cruel and infamous and the loss of thousands of lives and millions in property has justified that denunciation If such arguments could not move the government to reform it's policy in the past isitreasonable to presume they will be more potent in the future2 Are not the same religious bigots, the same ''fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" advocates, who founded this policy, still "the power behind the throne" at Washington2 And did anyone ever hear of that class of fanat- ics altering their beliefs or changing their policies2 It we expect relief from reser- vations and hostiles we must look to our own rifles for it and the sooner we accept this truth the better. Every months de- lay rstards the progress of our Territory 8 year and endangers hundreds of valuable live. We are ready to join the first five hundred who will march to San Carlos on s mission of extermination.

He was frontiersman ill the best sense of the word, possessing all the virtues of that class. He was an honest, straight forward, everyday man, and brave to fault.

The prohibition craze Is creating cOnster- nation among party leaders beyond the Rockies as it isliable to change the political complections of several states this fall. Ina number of the strongly republican states the prohibition element ill that party has gained sufficient strength to force an ap- proval of their doctrine ill the selection of candidates and the language of platforms. As a consequence, the great mass of Ger man and foreign voters, who affiliated with the republican party, are going over to the opposition. And in this disaffec- tion they will be joined by large class of broad and liberal minded American republicans who regard the passage of prohibitory laws as threat against per sonal liberty. Sumptuary laws will never become popular with the intelligent mass es of this country and any political party advocating or approving them, will un- dergo rapid dismemberment.

IF TUcsoN papers are to be believed MT. Churchill can take Yavapai by the scruff of the neck and lift her onto either side of the political fence he may choose. But we are not sufficiently credulous to swallow all the Tucson press may say. In the first place we think Mir. Churchill is too sensible to even insinuate that he carried the Yavapai voters in his vest pocket, and in the next place, We know that there is too much intelligence in Ya vapai or any other county ill the Terri tory, to permit submission to the dictates of one man. The voters of Arizona as a class are intelligent, independent and manly, and think, act and vote for them selves, and should Mr. Churchill, or any other man. undertake to auction them of to the highest bidder he would discover that he could not deliver the goods.

SEcanTARY T&LLlR has been interview ed at Denver and gave an outline of his proposed new Indian policy. It has some good and some objectionable features, but present weak ard vicious policy, It pro- poses, first of all, to disarm the Indians, thus rendering them powerless to oppose the troops or make raids through large settlements. Next, and best of all, pro- poses to reverse the practice of dividing the agencies between the different reliG- ious denominations and allowing them to select agents from among their deacons and parsons, who have uniformly proven dishonest when trusted with these impor- tant missions. Next is proposes the ab- andonment of the reservation schools and the sending of the children east, whore, relieved from the influence and teachings of their savage and vicious countrymen, the latent good in their natures may be developed and they may be taught the arts and sentiments of civilization. These features of the proposed new policy will commend themselves to the western peo- pie, who are the only ones directly affect ed by the Indian question, and was there q possibility of MT. Teller putting them into practical operation we would be con tent to await the result of the expert ment. But the religious element in the councils of the government is too strong to be overridden by Mir. Teller, and by his own confession they are now marshall ing their forces for determined opposi- tion to this proposed new departure. That they will succeed is foregone con clusion. They triumphed when less in influence and opposed to men equally as strong and determined as Mir. Teller. Arizona cannot afford to await the result of a contest so certain to end detrimen- tally to her interests. She can not afford, on hope so vain, to defer correction oi the evil that is crippling her industries and scotchinV the wheels of her progress She must resort to extermination in the end, and why procrastinate2 Every days de lay drives from our door capital and i'm. migration needed to develop our mines and people our vallies. Worse still it en dangers precious life and valuable prop erty. It is time to act and our motto should be bullets for Indians and hemI for thievirg agents, revenge for the deat and protection for the living.

THs ore taken from the Silver King during the past six months averaged just as well, by assay, as did any of that taken out previously and the usual amount is taken to the mill daily. Why then should the product of tho mill fall so far below the former average7 It cannot be the fault of the mine or the mill. The latter has been placed in good condition and the mine never showed as much or richer ore than it now shows.

How is it that Mir. Tritle gave Mari copa two votes in the lower house and only half vote in the council, and at the same time gave Apache whole vote in the council and only one vote in the lower house2 Does that strike any one as being either just or reasonable2 If Maricopa was entitled to two votes in the lower house she was entitled to & whole one in the council, and if Apache was en- was entitled to two in the lower house.

B. GRATZ BROWN, the ex-senator and governor, who dropped into political ob- livion after being defeated for vice -presi- dent on the Greeley ticket, is coming to the surface again as an advocate of prohi- bition in Missouri. We know of no man who stands in greater need of prohibition than this same B. Gratz Brown. He has been lubricating his internal machinery with alcohol for years, and the last time we saw him, was capable of carrying more whiskey than an ordinary distillery could manufacture. He would create a greater panic among distillers by "smear- ing off than he will by advocating pro hibition laws.
