THE OUTLAWS.

If does seem that an end should be
 put to the disgrRceful crimes of the past
 lew weeks in Arizona. For several
 months the outlaws have been gather
 ing h Western New Mexico and south
 eastern Arizona, and the work of the
 past few weeks shows to what extent
 these devils in the guse of humanbeings
 will go. Firs. they began by petty thleving and robbing in the neighbor-
 hood of Clifton, then they attacked the Southern Pacific train, killed engIneer
 Webster and robbed the express car. Nearly three weeks have elapsed, and so far as the public know, not one of the robbers has been traced, nor do we know who they were, yet number of expert detectives have been ID the field, and much hard work has been done in this territory and New Mexico to ferret them out.
 Before the excitement of the train robbers had subsided, the same band of outlaws, or similar one, last Saturday night entered the mining camp of Bis bee, robbed one of the leading mer- chants and in spirit of reckless hellish- ness hitherto unknown in Arizona, shot down innocent men and women after they had secured their booty, and when there was nothing even from the stand point of robbers to be gained by the destruction of life. This lawless element has held sway in southeastern Arizona long enough. The officers of Graham and Cochlse counties whom We have every reason to believe are good men and disposed to do their duty should renew their efforts to put the thieves and rob- bers down, and fl they find they cannot do it, they should promptly call upon Governor Tritle for assistance and if the Governor has not the power, or csn- not help them, then We should apply to the President or. Congress for authority | to raise loo rangers to be kept on the l border until the last scoundreI is killed l or hanged.
 While those despersdoes are here Tn Arizona and New Mexico, they do not belong here, but have gathered in from Texas, Colorado, Western Kansas, and the territories; therefore, Arizona and l New Mexico, should not bear all the burdens of their rsscally deeds, nor be alone and single handed to capture the robbers and thieves who have come from other States and Terri tories to ply their avocation in our sparsely settled country.

THE Secretary of War recommends that the pay Of enlisted men in the army be increased from SIS to SIG per month, and non-commissioned officers m pro- portion. The number of assertions in the army in the past year was nearly 3,6O0, about the same as last year. If officers wodld treat the enlisted men with some sort of consideration, when they are off duty, instead of at all times, by their actions, enforce their imaginary importance upon the common soldier, there would be fewer desertIons. When the second heutenant learns that he is only small man among other meo. and that he is not certain of ever being any, thing else, we may expect fewer dsser- tions m the amy. But 80 long as West Point turns out officers who think more of their importance than of their duties, there will be no improvement in the rank and file of the army, and deser- tions will continue.

CLIFTON CLARION: "A Tucson paper has no other ground to rest upon tsRn the fears of Clifton gentleman, who telegraphed to Bowie that he though; the cowboys intended to murder Judge Sheldon. That his fears were ground less he himself now admits; and yet, the paper that originally gave currency to the canard, as well as those which copied the article and commented upon it, remaIn silent"
 It would be much fairer to the press of Tucson to name the paper which does such things and not make the charge general. Say what you have to say IF plain words and put the blame where il belongs.

A scientific paper calls attention Go 30 a new method of adulterating milk, by the use of an aqueous solution of gil- cose. This method has not hitherto been noticed by milk inspectors, SO far as We know, and it probably has not been ex- tensively adopted by dealers. The specimens which have come under notice are well calculated to deceive, in- asm1ch as, by the use of glucose. thr density of the milk Is perfectly main taiued, and the sweet test imparteI will commend the adulterated milk Co most consumers. The adulterators of uilE have been earnestly seeking for some substance, which, while extending the liqnid, would not disturb its specific gravity, as does simple water. Glucose meets this want It does not Uuduly sWeeten the liquid, and 1t adds Co it's density and gives it "body." Let milk inspectors look out for the new glucosed milk.

 English exports have fallen of to con- extent, not only to this coun- try but to others, and searching in- quiry will be made into the cause. An English authority discussing the iron question says: This year the exports are not one-fourth as great as last year in October, and not one-third as great | Tor the ten months. The iron exports Tor the ten months this year are not | those of last year, and not | one thirty-fourth those of 1881.

In the early part of the present year spent some two months III visiting the worst slums of London and investigat- ing the condition of the inhabitants. not only went from cellar to attic, but traced back the family history of many ot the families, followed the workers to their vUrk, ths shi-vaz and wantons to their haunts, the children to thsi4 schools, and the homeless lOafers Co the holes and corners, the open passage and backwards where they herded together at night. l began my task with light heart; 1 finished 1t with heavy one. In that two months I saw vision of hell more terrible than the immortal Fioren- tines, and this was no poets dream-It was terrible truth, ghsstly in its reality heartbreaking in it's intensity, and the doom of the imprisoned bodies in this modern Inferno was as horrible as any thHt Dante depicted for his tortured souls.

It usually happens that III every gar den there are some cabbages which have not formed solid heads in the fall By planting these in trench, and giving them proper covering, they will form good heads by spring. PlOw trench by throwing out three or four fUrrows like a wide dead furrOw; set the uu- headed cabbages in a close double TOW in this trench; insert an upright stake at each end and at proper distances be- tween to hold rails or poles for the peak of the roof. Lean short pieces of board against the poles like a roof, and cover first with straw and then with few inches of dirt, with ventilation at e1eh end. It IS well to partly close the holes In the coldest weather. Early in spring most of the cabbages will be fouui handsomely headed, not as compaciiy as in autumn, but with a delicacy winch other cabbages do not possess.

 malt, hops and spring water" This important discovery presents to the retiecting mind an enchanting prospect. If @ COW can be made to give lager beer, why may not the COW praised in the song for giving milk punch become a reality, and why may not that gentle animal also be taught to give champagne. brandy, whisky, and other beverages that delight the varying pala.es of bibulous men? Nurseries would probably run short of milk, but such an evolution in the COW would doubtless give widespread satisfaction,

The CITIZEN is again inquiring the meaning of the name Tucson" Tue son is 8 combination of two Pspago words, the first, "tuc," meaning black, and the second, "son," meaning creek, therefore Tucson, in the Pspsgo and Pima language, means black creek. If the reportorsl querist of the CITIZEN will walk down to the raging Santa Cruz he will find it's banks st Tucson are composed of very black mud, and this fact probably caused the Pimas and Pspsgos to call the village Blsck-creek -Tucson.-Enterprise.

Vanderbilt as a Jehn.

Vanderbilt Is crazy over the subject of fast driving. l have never seen such man. The fact that he was recently thrown out of his buggy and nearly killed does not seem to have produced the slightest effect upon him. l was driving uD the road the other day behind a pair of trOtters which belonged to another man, when We heard a shout and the chatter of hOOfs behind us. Already ou- horses were going as fast as l ever knew them to, and have ridden be- hind them n 2;3l by the wa.ch.

The pace WAS pretty hot, and l had a sort of vague feel ing of uncertainty as to how far ve should be thrown if either animal were to strike stone. Pretty soon it occurred to him to look around at the face of the man who was trying to gat past us. What an expression. The eyes were fixed in their sockets. looking straight at the Hanks of the horses, the thick, coarse lips were tightly drawn. the deep lines on either side of the nose were sunken and powerfully marked, the temples were intersected with swollen veins, the brow was corrugated Iu uu anxious frOwn, and I never in my life saw such another picture of log, brutal excitement.

Professor Scott, in his recent book ou Farm Fences" estimates that for ev4 lere of inclosed land in the JnI.co Kingdom tncre is Srar q invested Iu fences, and that the annual maiufeI lr.l. of these fences costs something like shilIings per acre. Taking thsse figures iu the aggregate, as applied to the b. CU0O0O acres of inclosed land iu ihe United Kingdom, he shows the total capital sunk in fneces to be nearly E7G,- OOO00O, and the annual maintenance and repair of these fences to cost at least G6, 10000. There IS DO denying, he thinks, that many existing fences might be dispensed with to the great advau- tage ot agrlculture, quite apart from the expense Of maintaining them He also points out that the extended intro duction of a cheap and durable system of wire fencing renders possible still further economy Tn the matter of fences, in which fewer Ines of wire make aH equally efficient fence, and that with only One-hsh to One-fourth the number of posts which 1t IS considered necessary to use iD plain wire fencing or in plain post and rail fences.

St. Clair and Wayne's Campaiens

Hon. Samuel f. Hunt, of Cincinnati, is
doing the State, and particularly the men,
ory of Generals st. Clair and Mad Anthony
Wayne, a service. During the past three
years he has taken the campaigns of these
two heroes for his theme, instead of the
usual spread eagle styleof oratory usually
adopted on the 4th of July. He started in
at Cincinnati, the next year at Greenville,
and on Wednesday he delivered the ora
tion at Defiance, taking Gen. Anthony
Wayne for his theme. As he finds history
meager on the early exploits of these pio-
neer heroes he gathers data frem the old
pioneers and what ever source obtainable,
and the result of his labors are preserved
by the Cincinnati and Dark County His
torical Societies.
After concluding his address at Defiance
Wednesday, Mr.. Hunt accompanied Mr..
o. o. Thompson, proprietor of the Thomp-
son House at Napoleon, to that city where
he remained over night. Mr.. Thompson
being pioneer in the Valley and well
supplied with military lore concerning
these early struggles, hitched up his horse
and brought Gen. Hunt to this point yes
terday, visiting the scenes of Gen.
Wayne's massacre ofthe Indians at Preque
Isle, or Fallen Timbers, the Turkey Foot
Rock, Fort Meigs and Fort Miami.
Having thoroughly investigated all the
authorities and other sources of inf0rma.
tion Gen. Hunt has secured and treasured
up much valuable information on the sub.
ject. which he has made specially: AT
ter interviewing Mr.. Norton at the Ex.
change last evening be returned home or
the 1890 train, with the expressed desire
to return In few weeks and dig up some
more lore in the vicinity Of the old forts
