The Wild Man.

For the past week man whose actions
and general appearance and bearing has
been OF such character as to lead the few
who saw him to believe him either insane
or daring desperate, has after an inter
missiCn of day or so turned up again,
this time at Lettwich's brick ward, in the
northern suburbs OF the city. Those who
have seen him pronounce him a curiosity
so far as his nationality is concerned, for he
is, to all appearances, a combination be.

Gulf Colorado and Santa Fee.

The fact that the Gulf Colorado and San
ia Fe road has cut off the regular passen ge-
trains running between this city and Gal
weston and putting ON bobtail train which
has no direct communication with Calves
ton has been the cause OF much comment.
and some III feeling towards the line on
the part OF our business men who think to
say the least that it was not Chesteriieldian
to so unceremoniously snatch away from
a business and travelling public ac-
comodations without the slightest
warning. In fact the representatives of
the road here are mute upon the subject
and the rumor that Gould has succeeded
in getting control OF the line has gained
credence here. The business men of Dal-
las will not recognize a bobtail train run
ming in on span from the main line.

THIS is sensible talk by the San Fran
cisco Chronicle; "The war department is
very anxious to demonstrate that CROOK
crossed the border on his own responsible
ity. We do not doubt that the Indian
fighter will be able to shoulder the respon-
sibility and to settle things with the Mex
leans. A little less red tape on the border
and u little more mutual confidence would
go a great way toward putting an end to
the suspicious attitude OF the two natious."

THE Epi,aph makes a very good sug- gestion ID relation to the Crook campaign and his course ID Arizona since last March, an investigation by a Congressional committee. Crook has been charged with reporting a fight in the Sierra Madres, when no fight took place: be has been charged with incOm- potency and neglect of duty. But they were made by the people and the news papers, and he refuses to take notice of them. The fact is he dare not ask for an investigation of his official conduct
 The CITIZEN heartily seconds the sug- gestion of the Epitaph and will join with 1t in asking for a committee of Congressmeu 70 come out to examine and report upon the Indian question in Arizona, and incidentally take in some of General Crooks crookedness. General Crook through his henchmen have been telling that the press of Ari- zona has misrepresented the facts, grossly exaggerated the extent of the h. dian depreiatiOns in Arizona and Sonora, and have made war upon him without cause. On the contrary We as- s5rt that the newspapers have been very moderate on General Crooks stupid in- human treatment of the white citizens or Arizona. They have told the truth, while according to bis own reports, and statements he did not tell the truth.
 l. would be we'll to have an investiga- tior. The CITIZEN would like to have the facts laid before congress. It would he but justice to the citizens of this Territory, whom General Crook has treated with less consideration, than the British treat the heathen Kafirs of South Africa. It is bad enough to have savages among us to shoot down our de- fenceless citizens. But it is still worse to have a white savage in command of the United StGtes army in Arizona to protect the redhanded devils who com init the murders. It would be a thous- and times better to turn the ApRches loose upon ihe people of Arizona, than Co force them to submit to being shot and scalp.d under the supervision of the army. Neither congress nor the people in the states understand the out rages which the army under General Crook, and Indians under hIs protection, have perpetrated upon our people. Gen eral Crook, will never ask for an investi- gation. By all means then let com mittee of congressman investigate the disgraceful work Of the past ten months ln Arizona.
