II is fortunate for the public at large that
the writings Of some editors are eireumseribed
by the limited number Of copies Of the paper
with which they are connected. This is par
ticularly SO as regards the attacks of La
Reyista, Monterey's newspaper, upon Amer-
cans, and everything American. This psrtic-
ular editor is one Of the old time, fire eating
sort, who is so narrow minded that he is a
crank, and so vain that he is a nuisance,
which is why we say that it is fortunate that
that papers circulation is limited, as other
wise misinformed people might take his utter
ances for those of a sensible person, and be-
lieve that he represented the true sentiment Of
the Mexican people, which he does not. Mr..
Lagrange, another member OF the firm, has
only just returned from an extended trip
through the North, where he was treated,
on every hand, wherever be went, as an hon
ored and distinguished guest, and 10 con-
versation with the LIGHT gave it as his
opinion that there were no more hospitabe
and generous people living than Americans.
He knew what he was talking about from OBJ
servation, while the other one, most likely,
having never crossed the Rio Grande, draws
his conclusions from a very narrow source,
and a narrower mind.

THE Washington Republican says; "a
pretty loud call for an Irish parliament was
that at Waterford, where 10000 Irishmen re-
solved that Ireland must have that which
England was compelled to concede to rebel
lious Canada. Itmight have been added that
the refusal to grant home rule to the American
colonies caused England to lose them, and
gave birth to the great republic"

THE Salvation army has had a tough time
Of it in some of the cities Of the East, and
their meetings in some instances have been
looked upon as public disturbances. The
Pittsburg Leader says; "rhe general opinion
among the ungodly over 10 Allegheny seems
to be that the army is a nuisance. and It's
meetings resort for people Of unsayory repu-
tation. Last night the army started meet
ing at the corner Of Federal and Ohio streets
when Mayor Peterson sent squad Of officers
and requested them to let up, but the army
fatly refused to do 50, and insisted on their
rights under the constitution to worship the
Creator after their own unique and original
ideas. Thereupon the police threatened to
put the party under arrest for disturbance,
which action had the desired effect Of quelling
the uproarious worshippers. They we're not
satisfied, however, and visited the Mayor st
his Office in body. As a result Of the call
his honor took the name and address OF each
party, and notified them that in the event Of
any future open air demonstrations he would
proceed against the offenders under the laws
Of. the city relative to public nuisance"

The dispatches from the seat of war at An
mama few days ago, said 'that after three days
hard fighting the French captured two towns
and two standards from the Black Flags, and
that their loss was two officers and "a men
killed, and three officers and 90 men
wounded" This sounds like burlesque on
war--stage war at that-where the survivors
and the slain 60 out after the curtain is down
and all hands take drink. The LIGHT is
acquainted with scores Of COW boys who would
willingly undertake to wipe out both these
grand armies, most any afternoon, on the
same basis Of casualties and the newspapers
Of the Southwest would designate it simply as
"scrimmage." The science OF war nova
days seems to be like our groceries, pretty
well adulterated.

The Houston Post says: "Some Of the
newspapers are doing Attorney General Tenn
pleton an injustice by saying that he rules
that prize fighting may take place in Texas
without molestation. He has never made
any ruling on the subject. He said to some
one at Fort Worth that there is no statute
specifically prohibiting prize fighting, as in
some other States, but that the participants in
prize fight could and would be punished
under other laws which he regards as fully
covering the case. 1t is very certain that
there will be no prize fighting on Texas soil il
the State authorities can preyentit."

He Speaks PertinensIy About Gen.
Crook and the Var Department.
EUREKA. May 81, 1883.
ED. SENTINEL: Since Gen. Crook has
departed after tho Apaches, and has
crossed the line into Mexico, the War
Department manifests a desire to censure
him, and 1t is expected that the affair will
end in q court-martial, with the view
to disgrace him, as was done some years
since in the Chivinton case. 1t is ever
thus that ambitious officers are hampered.
Men who fail to advance by merit are
almost sure to make an effort to kill of
those who aim to do their duty, mi gain
favor with the people. The best fighters
are not the pets of officers high in rank,
nor of the Administration This has been
demonstrated in the case Of Gen. Conner,
who, after gaining many lsurels as q fight
ing General, is slaughtered by his party,
the Republicans. Now, when Gen. Crook
is pursuing the Apaches into Mexico,
carrying out his policy Of killing the last
OF the nits. the Republicans wish to de-
stroy him, and thus strike . blow at the
Democratic party. They should remem-
Der that this means Of destroying q man
for party sake, and to perpetuate "red
tape" may possibly result in Crooks case
as it did in the cases OF Jackson, Taylor
and others. Gen. Crook will do his duty
in protecting the miners and other citi-
zens in Arizona and Mexico, and, though
he may cause a ripple between the United
States and Mexico. the people will say,
"Well done, faithful servant" They will be
able to settle the difficulty. and. if neces-
sary for Crooks vindication, honor him
with the highest Office within their gift.

A POIygamOus Woman browns
Sorrow and Self In = Well.
A suicide occurred at North Jordan on
Wednesday, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
which should be looked into by the Off
oials. 1t appears that a man named Ruth
erford had three wives, all living under
the same roof. No. 8 lived in one room
with her four children, and, being driven
to desperation by her po%lygamous rela-
tions, had made several attempts to end q
life that was burdensome to her. Last
Wednesday she was fully successful, hsv-
ing chosen the jumping into q well % .
means OF suicide. The well was marrow
and about Is feet down to the water, with
enough depth OF water to drown her in.
The body was taken out, and Rutherford
came to town after one of his daughters,
who was working as a servant girl, that
she might attend the funeral, and also for
q cheap coffin to bury the dead woman in.
He went to the house where his daughter
was and told her his errand and what had
happened. To console the girl he said:
at don't amount to much; she was no re-
lation to you; she amt your mother" and
in o kind Of absent-minded way added: Il
mustn't forget the coffin" showing that
the loss Of the woman was only . trivial
affair.
The matter has not been made known. to
any extent, and there was no inquest over
the remains.
