murder trial, an equally able one in
opposition can always be obtained
from some other expert, This is

Addison on this subject said
"When look back upon the tombs
of the great, every motion of envy
dies in ME; when 1 read the cpl
taphs of the beautiful, every inordi-
nate desire goes out; when l meet
with the grief of parents upon the
tombstone, my heart melts with
compassion; when l see the tomb of
the parents themselves, l consider
the vanity of grieving for those
whom we must quickly follow.
When l see kings lying by those who
deposed them, when consider rival
wits placed side by side, or the holy
men that divided the world with
their contests and disputes, l reflect
with sorrow and astonishment OIL
the little competitions, factions, and
debates of mankind. When l read
the several dates of the tombs, OF
some that died yesterday, and some
six hundred years ago, l consider
that great day when we shall all of
us be contemporaries, and make our
appearance together"

The Philadelphia Press, speaking
of the widespread strikes Of work
men, says: Labor, like any other
commonly which is bought and
sold, is subject to the law of supply
and demand" We must remind our
contemporary that 1t has heretofore
taught that the demand for labor in
creases with the number of pro-
tected industries, and that the pres
ent tariff provides well paid en-
ployment for every man who wants

talk about strikes for higher wages
is absurd" when it has always in
sisted that the tariff was ar
ranged by the protected man.
ufacturers to accommodate the
necessities of the workingman. The
Press and other protective organs
told the workmen in 1880 to vote for
" Garfield and Protection, because
the Republican policy insured them
permanent employment and perma-
nently high wages. Further on the
Press says that "the supply of iron
is already in excess of the demand, "
and the reason is that protection al
ways limits the market for the sale
of iron products, and when the man.
ufacturers are overstocked tLey cut
down wages, shut down their mills,

Such is Protection for American

POLITICAL NOTES.

Some of the Half breed organs in
Pennsylvania attribute the Republi-
can chaos in that state to "Guiteau's
bullet" 1t seems, rather, to be at
tributable to the natural cussed-
ness" of the Republican party.
Don Cameron expresses the be-
lief that he has won great victory
at Harrisburg. That depends good
deal upon the rigldity,of the back
bones of Wharton Barker, Senator
Mitchell and the other Half-breed
leaders, and upon what these rebel
lious gentlemen will dare to do at
Philadelphia on the oath inst.
The protection organs declare
that American manufacturing in
terests must be represented in the
cabinet. If the agricultural bill be-
comes law, every industry in the
the country will be clamoring for
cabinet representation. 1t will be
necessary to build another building
the size of the capitol to accommo-
date the cabinet if the clamor sue
ceeds.
The Republicans of North Caro-
lima have made an alliance with the
whisky party, and are making war
on the temperance people, while in
Virginia, they allied themselves with
the repudiaturs and declared for the
repudiation.of public faith. This is
very easily understood by those who
have followed the history of the Re-
publican party as megatharien
hypocrite during the last twenty
years.
The president is said to be wait
ing for an appropriation by con-
gress before he appoints the MEN,
bers of the Utah commission. lie
should not delay ON that account !;
let him appoint a commission and
send message to congress remind
ing it that some funds are necessary.
The Mormons begin to believe that
the Republicans are playing a game
of sham as they did IN 1862. The
Republican organs have been boast
ing for some time that their party
has ''killed polygamy." Their party
has done nothing of the kind, and it
looks as if the party will fail to do
anything.

Thrilling Account or The Recent Irag-
ctsg5.

Tucson, April 2tsb.-Tha following from
a correspondent at Stafford, under date Of
April 18th, gives a thrillitg account of the
recent tragedies:
Little Stanislaus Meslas, aged years, has
just arrived here from Stevens sheep camp,
twenty live miles distant from this place,
with the following blood curdling story Of
Iudian massacre upon his b2by lips: Yes
terday morning, the 18Th instant. before day
light, the Indians attacked our camp whilst
we were all aslesp. Ny father and FIVE other
men who were there attempted to get their
guns, but too late. The Indians rushed in
from all sides, Rnd overpoweTed them bef re
a shot could be fired. The work Of slaughter
then began, and was frjghtful while it lasted.
An Indian put the muzzle of his gun against
the head of one man and fired, blowing his
brains against the floor and walls. l saw
them kill my mother aud two little brothers
by beating their brains out with stones. They
killed five. They tied my father and tor
tured him most dreadfully. He begged them
to spare him, but they only tortured him the
more. When they were tired of torturing
him one of them split bis skull open with an
AK An Iud'an squaw. wife Of one
of the four friendly Apache heep-herders,
who worked with us, saved nay life by hold
ing me behind her, aud begging them to
spare me- When all of the Mexicans were
dead except me. the Indians lett, taking with
them our four friendly Apsches as prisoners.
They were soon sorry that they had spared
me, for they sent party back to the house
to kill me, but the sqnaw begged so hard for
me that they said they would go back sud
tell the chief that they could not fiRd NE.
They then went awsy again, and when they
were gone far enough the fqusw and lit
the ranch and travelled al day and night
until we reached Stafford.
The face Of little StanislAus Is indicative
Of great suffering, Horror is depicted upon
It's every feature, and his eyes rTotfude, as if
the horrors of yesterday were still before
them, while he tells his story with a graphic

other good, the mothers of the Eastern States,
when tucking their naughty little ores in
bed, may frighten them 20 sleep by repeating
this sad story Of poor little S5snislaus.
The Indian squaw who arrived here with
the boy says there were ninety-thres war
riors in the attacking party. They called
themselves Chiricshuas, and said they were
going straight to San Carlos Agency to kill
all OF the whites and get mors Indians to join
them. They also declared that they would
kill all Of the inhabitants of this valley, as
the population of the valley did not value
one.tenth in comparison with their numbers,
and the Indians as San Carlos would join
them. The hostiles frequently declared that
their whole desire was to kill in retaliation
for the three Indians executed recently at
