THE Clifton Clarion makes the state ment that the local authorities of that county are able and willing to arrest all disturbers, and have been dOinE so from the first" That may be so, but it did not appear so to outsiders Et tue time The Clarion should not blame people for believing that lawlessness of the worst character existed there, and 1t should not find too much fault with newspapers that have in one way or other referred to the matter. The CITI- ZEN, among other volunteer advisers had something to say about the matter, and that if the local authorities could not handle the lawless characters who were congregating in and about that place. that the governor should be called upop. That was about the extent of the CITIZENS good offices, and so far as We observed, WAS about the express sion of other Arizona journals. The Clarion must know what was said was in a spirit of friendship and desire to maintain law and order throughout every section of the territory. Bus the Clarion explains the cause of the activ- itv among the lswless characters during the past two months. "SheTlh Stevens was out of theterrI- tory," and, as everyone knows avhen the cats away the mice will play" Since Sheriff 1: Stevens re- turn. he has been very active in making arrests, and from the way he stated in, and the manner Tn which he deals with criminals, he will foroe them to the wall. We are glad to see the sheriff of Graham county take the bull by the horns. The CITIZEN has never doubted the intention of the good citizens of Clifton, and believed that .hev would do everything in their power to suppress lawlessness. but it did seem for a time that the bad element was gathering in there so rapidly that the authorities would not be able to control them. We are glad to learn of the as- surances of the Clarion of the ability ot the local authOritiesto enforce the laws in Graham county. and that the sctlve measures inagurated may continue until all tba thieves. robbers and murderers are driven from the Territory.

LITTLE CHARLIE MooonAs.

From ume to time We have been told
 that Charlie McComas was still alive
 and with the renegade Apaches in So- nora or Chihuahua. But if We examine
 into the facts, no evidence cap be found
 to warrant such statements. General
 Crook informed us on his return from
 Sonora, that the Apaches had him and
 would bring him III, but the informa-
 hon upon which be based the state
 ment was obtained from the Apaches.
 who were unwilling to confess that they
 had murdered the boy, and in all prob
 ability told General Crook falsehood
 rather than confess their crime. The Indians told him that they had a white
 boy, but none of the scouts who were with General Crook saw the boy. nor did the captive Mexican women who were with the Apaches at the tune the | old men, women and children came in | ever see, or hear of such boy until they | came into General Crooks camp. No | such boy has ever been seen or heard of | by any of the Mexican comman- ders, nor by any citizen | of Mexico,s save what they heard through General Crook. From the latest and most reliable information from Chihua- hua, no such boy has been seen or heard of among the Indians in the neighbor- hood of Casaa Grandes. The recent ex- pedItion of Leroy and Wilson, who went to Mexico in search of the boy, was, so lar as We can learn. made without any authentic information concerning Char Icy McComas, simply as venture Dn their part to obtain the boy if they could find him, and secure the reward offered for hIs recovery. The CITIZEN, with thousands of others, would re- olce at his restoration to his brothers md friends, but the fact that no Ameri- 'ans, Mexicaus or even friendly Indians i lave seen or heard of hlm, otherwise han as above stated. precludes the hope ', hat he lives, or that he will ever be re- toFed to his friends. {

THERE is considerable talk in To.
 Angeles about yellow fever, and oi
 course they tell about its being Tn Ari-
 zons, and exaggerated reports have been
 circulated about the number of deaths
 and the people mp there are somewhat
 frightened. The CITIZEN belongs to
 that class ot journals watch believe that 1T k best to state facts under any cir
 cumstances and on all occasions. If yellow fever prevailed in Arizona the fact would have been chronicled in tue CITIZEN at once, that those who were on the road or cuntempted q journey to this section might defer their visit. There Is nOthins gained by trying to suppress impOr ant news; and if the effort is made, a report of the would-be secret invariably finds Its way out, in one way or the other in an exaggerated form. We have had a numter of cases of the so called yellow fever at Nogales, Con t.ntiOn, Benson and Tucson during the past month. several deaths occurred at Nogales and one tt Benson, but no deaths have been recorded in Tucson from the diseBse Mir. Wimple, citi- Ecu of this place, contracted the disease at Gusymas about the time it fir st broke out there, was taken sick but came through to Tucson, passed through the regular stages of the fever, and c0nvalesced in six days. Three or four others-refugees from Sonora-were either taken down on the road or after arriving here, all of whom re- covered under the ordinary treat ment for malarial levers. The physi- cians of this place pronounced 1t "typho malarial fever,' and still adhere to tLe conclusions then arrived at. No deaths have occurred save those who were taken sick or contracted the disease in Guaymas or Hermosillo. There has not been a single case of fever among the citizens of Arizona, though the people along the line of the New Mexico and Arizona Railroad have been exposed co 1t almost daily ever since the disease broke out in Guaymas six weeks ago. T is beng the fact, our people, or the climate and altitude of Arizona, are proof against the fever We do not be- iieve there is any danger of the fever breaking out at Los Angeles, owing to the lateness of the season, but had it been transmitted to that place earlier in the season, We have 20 doubt but the scourge would have been 8s bad there as 1t has been at HermOsillo, as that place is about the same altitude as the latter, and its location and surround ings are much the same. The weather in Sonora IS cool, and We expect rapid decrease of the fever at that place soon. It has already about spent its force at Guaymas.

The Viestiuk, an Odessa journal that is occasionally inspired by the Russian foreign office, prints in q conspicuous position and in bold type a paragraph iu comparison with which the Norddeutsche Allegemeine Zeitung's recent lectures ia France are mild and even amiable. "Only let Germany begin q war with Russia" says the writer; i've wish Io- thing better. Russians can not have the least fear of the results of such struG- gle: for they would follow the example of the Turks at PlevnB, and act strictly upon the defensive, leaving the real work of the campaign to be done by the1r trusty ally, the winter. How would our German friends manage to exist with the thermometer standing at zero or lower? Such war would be q vastly different thing to pleasant winer prom enade in France. For Germany a war with Russia would indeed be an awful calamity.

Enterprise: MT John T. Bates, of Dudleyviile. and C. c. Nellsvorth, of Mesaville, were iu town this week on law business. Mir. Bates says the sur vey corps running the line for the mar row gauge railroad from Tucson were at his house this week. The line comes into the San Pedro above Mir. Bates place. If the company desires to build q paying road they will come down the San Pedro from Mir. Bates to Riverside, and thence to Florence and on to Phenix and the Atlantic and Pacific. This would give Tucson another through line to the East and at the same time open up to her the trade of the best part of Ari- zoua. Furthermore, it would insure the railroad company twO-thirds of the Ar zona traffic.

A jolly set of Irishmen, boon comp8n- ions and sworn brothers, had made up thelr minds to leave the "owld sod" and wend thelr way to "Ameriky." There were five iu uUmber-twO Paddles, one Murphy, one Dennis and one Teague. It SD happened that the vessel they were to go in could only take four of them. At length honest Teague exclaimed:
 "Arrah! | have it. We'll cast lots to see who shall remain"
 But one of the Paddles vov d that it was anything but "Ionteel" tO do that sor: of thing.

Return of Two ProspectOrs From the Sil-
 yer Regions of Sonora.
 From J. Walker and Andy Hudson who returned last night from a six weeks visit to the mines of Sonora, a reporter this morning obtained some in- terestiug information. Messrs. Hudson and Walker left HermosillO, the princi- pal city of Sonora, last Friday and came on direct tO Santa Barbara. They are interested ID some silver mines in the mountains, aoOut 150 miles east of Her moslllo and right in the heart Of the h. dian infested region. Some time ago. NIT. Hudson obtained information con corning some abandoned silver mines in Sonora, and at the six of his life visited them and found his information relative to rich mineral deposits, verified. He associated himself with J. Y. Walker of Easo RObles with view to developing these mines. About six weeks sgo they started we'll armed and provided with pack animals and provisions and went to these mines. They have worked en- ergetically for about five weeks and by tunnelling have reached the edge of the silver ledge and now they return to make more extensive preparations for developing the lode. They report the Mexicans as very friendly to the Amer Icans and anxious to have them come in and develop the country. The valleys In the interior of Sonora are ferrile and attractive and awaitiugi industrious set tiers to locate in them. The Indians are troublesome at times, and Inst yea -a1Eed that section of the country. The Apaches are still on the warpath m that region The heat vas excessive tween.

V. EoshkaroT, a member of the Rus sian prison committee, has recently pro posed that, as the Russian prisons fail tO inspire criminals with due terror, sol itary confinement and stricter p-ivations Of food should be adopted. This is op- posed by the Norve Vremya, which urges tlat not the severity of the punishment but it's inevitable character, is feared by criminals. Crime is mostly the result of an abnormal physical state which fits criminals rather for a lunatIc asylum { an for prison. "The aim of q prison k not to torment but, as far as possible. to correct; and with this aim DO prison should be without the necessary pro- visions of food. clothing and material activity" Man is created for society, and without 1t he must perish, 8s has often been shown in prisons where NJ
