A recommendation has been
made to the authorities as Wash
ington. by an officer stationed at
Fort Yuma, to the effect that the
government furnish the Yuma
Indians with some of the neces-
saries of life. 1t is timely and
just suggestion. For more than
twenty-five years the Yumas
have been peaceable and friendly
to the whites. They have aided
the people in the development of
this section; they are industrious,
honest and peaceable. The ma
terials at their command, how
ever, for earning or gaining
enough to sustain life are meagre
in the extreme; and were it not
for the charity bestowed upon
them by the people of this vii
lage, the unfortunates would suf-
fer for food even mole than they
do now. Their blood thirsty
cousins, the Apaches, are cloth
ed, housed and fed by our kind
government (; their health is
guarded by able U. S. surgeons;
whilst the quiet and well'deserv-
ing Yumas are left TO die, like
dogs, of disease and starvation.
The Yumas, it is claimed, are re-
ally Mexican Indians. IF so, they
should live below the line. But
it is a well-knoWn fact that tn cir
homes are and always have been
above what now is the boundary
line between Mexico and the
United States. If it is the policy
of our government to foster vi
pers, and to kill a useful and in
dustrious people, we think it best
for the public to know it at once.
Winter is now upon us, and with
but scanty supply of food On
hand, the situation of the Yumas
is distressing in the extreme,
and their case urgently demands
immediate attention.

According to the Chicago Inter
Ocean two grand juries in st.
Louis have refused to indict
John r. Cockerill, the editor OF
the Post-Dispatch, for the killing
of Col. Slayback some weeks ago.
1t is therefore a thorough and
complete vindication of Mr.. Cock
Grill, and of the theory that an
EDITORS office is his castle which
he has a right to defend against
the assaults of angry ruffians.
Outside of his own city Colonel
Cockerill has received the most
cordial sympathy and support of
the editorial profession, which
rejoices at this just conclusion OF
an unhappy affair.

The Los Angeles Commercial
came to us on Tuesday evening
in an enlarged form, as an eight
page paper. The change will
greatly benefit advertisers, as
there will be something on each
page to attract the attention OF
readers. This last enlargement
increases the Commercial to just
twice Its size three years ago,
and speaks volumes for the pro-
gress of both the journal, and the
city of Los Angeles.

1t is painful to hear intelligent
but misinformed and minimizing
men talk about the proposed
abandonment of the Southern
Pacific Railroad between Cotton
and Casa Grande. To any one
who will give but moments
thought to it the proposition is
extremely absurd. The writer of
this paragraph sat at table a
few days ago and overheard a
gentleman from Tucson describ-
ing the probable condition OF
Yuma when the change is made.
From the tone ofthe conversation
no doubt seemed TO exist that
this vicinity would soon be left
in the cold as regards both rail
road and steamboat facilities.
The increase of mining discove-
ries, and the rapid reclaiming of
desert lands both up and down
the river, will hardly justify a
return to mule-teams and prairie
schuOners. Added to that the
permanent and substantial i'm.
provements constantly being
made in the Company's property,
and the problem is solved in oul
favor by reductiO ad absurdum.

sufficient guarantee fund has
been raised to insure the financial

the list of Commissioners are the
names of many prominent rail-
road men and manufacturers of
railway appliances. A series of
scientific and practical tests, to
be made by well-known scientists
and carefully selected commit.
tees, extending to every article
and every description of material
susceptible of receiving test, will
constitute one of the most inter
eStlng as we'll as most valuable

of every exhibit, including a list
of prizes awarded. will be made
and published under direction of
the Commissioners. The exposi-

SHERMANs SHIRT,
Loaned 10 the Celebrated
Henry Clay Dean.

Apropos Of General Sherman's visit to Denver
story is told of the Generals experience with Henry
Clay Dean. The two had been friend for years,
and when Sherman became General and Dean
happened to be in Washington the latter naturally
enough felt desire to renew old acquaintance.
So he called at Sherman's house and the General
received him with open arms. They talked over
old times, and nothing would do but Dean must
remain to dinner. "But, General" demonstrated
Mrs. Sherman in her husbands ear, ~ can't have
such dirty looking man at my table, Can't you
spruce him UP a little?" The General said he'd
fix that, and so at an opportune moment he hus-
tied Mr.. Dean up stairs, ransacked bureau and
PRODUCED A CLEAN SHIRT
for him TO put on. Mrs. Sherman was Modified
and the dinner was really charming affair for

card was brought up bearing Henry Clay Deans
name nam. Mrs' sherman was very much pleased
to dinner. Only, you must see that he is present

partory to packing them for the onward march,

Mrs Sherman between flint gnsps. The Generel
