COMING TO GRrEF

It has been pretty well settled that the men who inalgurated the diabolicai dynamite schemes to blow up public buildings in England, were organized in New York, and there IS no doubt large portion or perhaps all the money was raised in this country to carry It on. Wm. J. Lynch, who was born m thls country of Irish parents, joined one of their secret organizations m New York, of which 1t appears that there are about one hundred such organizations, m thls corntrv. has turned informer, and has told about all he knows about the or rsuizatlons, their object, the way m which they conducted their diabolical schemes. and named some of the leaders of the dynamite fiends, among which appears Dr. Gallagher of New York, and O'Donovsn R1ssa. The members of the organization were numbered, and were known by their number instead O. by their names. Lynch was a coach builder in Brooklyn: he was induced to join the Emerald club by Irish enthusiasts, who declared their intention to free Ireland by force. Lynch WAS drawn to go on mission to London; was sent over by ,teerage passage, and was told when be got over there that he would beinstructed what to do. When he arrived at Lon don he was joined by Dr. Gallagher and others from New York. Ire money was finished by "the old man" whom he said was O'Donovan R ssa- Gallagher freauently gave him money and told him mot 70 all himself to run short as the old man kept them well sup piled" Dynamite for blowing up build ings was supplied from BIrmlus- ham. where Whitehead had charge of the works. and the dynamite wa- put up ID rubber bags, and then placed ln ordinary trunks and shipped as baggage There can be but little doub as to the truth of Lynch's statemeuts; he de- 1 scribes the bmlding where he was initiated into the secrets of the order, on +be corner of Second street and the 1 Bowery. which a reporter of the Herald found upon investigation to be just as Lynch described 1t, and ascertainec from a policeman that secret meetlng' had been held as represented by Lyncf for more than a year past. A represen
 tative of the Herald found member oI the Emerald club. who stated that whai ] Lynch had testified to was true, that he
 believed that Lynch was a spy, and thai
 he joined the organization for the pl-r nose of laylng its secrets and objects before the British government. Wheth
 er this latter statement is true or not, i
 is evident that the British authorities ] have gotten hold of thread by whici they will be able to unraveI the tangled
 szsln. T. is believed that other organ
 Ized clubs. drawn from similar organlza
 tions in this country are operating II Frrlsnd. but that each cluu, while work ing for the destruction of public build ] ines as well as the building of obnoX | tious private citizens, that they worI . independently of each other, and tha

IT was not the intention of the CITIZEN to again refer to General Crook and the course pursued by him m Arizona, until he had made some advance or done something toward developing his future course of acton and would not refer to the subject now, had We not been incl dentally drawn into it by some con- ments in yesterdays issue which seemed to require attention. It is not the inten- tion of the CITIZEN to do injustice to any individual, either in public or private life. and the CITIZEN stands ready to applaud any worthy act of General Crook or any other officer or priyate soldier in the army. When 1t WAS announced that General Crook Was assigned to the department of Arizona, the CITIZEN with the people rejoiced at what was deemed good tidlugs. The preliminary work of General Crook m his arrangements for keeping the h. dians on the reservation by making the Indians themselves responsible for ab- seutees. met with our heartily approval. The interest he took ID famIllarlzlng himself with the geography of the country in hunting up the passes, and the routes most likely to be pursued by the savages, all pointed to General Crook as the right man III the right place. That he made 6 serious mistake during the continuation of the late raid there can be no doubt. That he Is wholly responsible, or whether the fault was with the men who were under him, We cannot say. That he Is now trying to do bis duty We fully balieve. and We trust that he may prove -. VIC suau certainly nOt .hroyy a single stone in his way, but bid him | God speed, for his sue cess IS our sue cess. and the success of all the citizens of Arizona; a failure on his part would prove a great set back to the growth and prosperity of the country, which l has already suffered too long from the murderous raids of renegade Apaches.
 While We shall not assume tu instruct pr lay out any course for General Crook to
 pursue in the future, We would venture a single suggestion, which in our opIn- ion would prove great advantage to him iu future campaigns against the
 Indians, as well as make It possible for better protection to the lives and property of our citizens. We would suggest to General Crook, that be re- move his head quarters to Camp Thom- as or Fort Huachuca, at once, that he
 may at all times be near the locality
 where raids are liable to be made, in- stead If remaining at Prescott, a point
 which f1r all intents and purposes Is as far away from the scene of action, as | Denver, Colorado, or Austin, Texas,
 and which necessitates one days trayei
 by stage and two and half days travel
 by raii, or altogether three and a half
 days travel, a half day more than 1t

FATAL RESULTS OF oaAMMNe.

It IS the opinion of some of the best educators in the country that our pres ent public schools are far from what they should be. There are too many studIes and not enough thorough work. and there Is no place in the coun- try where this abuse ls carried to greater lengths than Tn the PacIhc States. Children are forced to study at home and at school ln order to ob- rain a smattering of the various studie@; they often reach a igh CT cent, which nleases teachers, because 1t shows that many grists have gone through thelr mill. and parents are deluded into the balief that their children make rapid advances in their studies while m reality they are only cIammed, and never digest the studies at all, and at the end of three or four years they know little or nothing of what they passed over during the first years of their school life. $. Wolf, of Washington, writes to General Birney, trustee If the pubic schools of that city, letter that well represents the results of the crammlng system. It is as follows:
