TEE Daily Stock Report says :

The Indians who were to have sur rendered to General Crook have not yet seen ft SO to do. They prefer to do a little T7ore tarfuring, murderIng plllage and laging before coming in to be pam pered upon the reservation. So far as we can see, there Is nothing to prevent them from enjnying themselves on the war-path. and no power to puaIsh them when they give themselves up.
 No. It does not look like there was "power to punish them" when chief Mana, the savage who lead the late raid through southeastern Arizona and New Mexico and who murdered Col. Dibbles' brother, Judge McComas and wife and twenty-Oue other citizens, is allowed the freedom of the San Carlos Agency, and the privilege of carrying the same arms, that he carried on his murderous rsld. Had Mana been a white man the whole country would have been up and in arms after him; but beng only savage he is not responsible for murdering white people, at least that seems to be the way 1t is regarded by those in charge of the renegades. These noble "children of the forest" are not to be Insulted by having their arms taken from them. Snch Q proceeding, says a dis tinguished warrior, would give them to think you are afraid of them We must respect the feelings Of these Apa- che murderers, and not abuse their con fdence. for if they should leave the re servation, after having thus been insult cd they might kill some onel All that IS necessary for the protection of tho people of Arizona, is to convince the savaRes that We are not ''afrald of them, then we suppose all will be well.

Crooks Campaign.

From the general tone of the press throughout the United States and her sister Republic, Mexico, there seems to be much dissatisfaction among the peO- ' le in the late Crook campaign. The history of the campaign seems tO be a. follows: The Chiricshus Indians joined ty the Apache renegades from San Car los reservation, after stealing all avail able property from the settlers and citi- Zens of Arizona, and butchering as many lien, women and children as could b. conveniently got at; finding this country becoming too hot for them, bolt d across the line into Mexico. Then. after great outcry from the citizens whom these government pets" had bindly left alive in Arizona: and great Geal of "hemiug" and "hawing" at head quarters, General Crook, the much ysunted Indian fighter, was put in com IiaDd of this frOltier department. He 10 We were told, would either totally an- Ilhilate the murderers, or reduce them 70 entire submission. What them Why this renOwn.d General and In dian fighter took company of soldiers -nd company of Apache scouts and fOliOvad the murderers across the hne ioto Mexico. What dId he do? No one knows. The people of Arizona watched open mouthed for a grand denOumeut
 Yes, not only the people of Arizona, hut the whole world were watching the result. We say this advisedly; for IL hese days of telegraphic news the re- nOte>t civilized nation IS apprlsed of sny military movement in the land Bui rs in the fable of old "the mountain ilbored and brought forth a mousse General Crook. after many weeks ab sence in Mexico, during which tIm- fothing defnate could be learned 5l regard to his movement, comes back over the line with about + captured bucks ard over 200 squsws, and refuses to give any account of his mil tary operations. But General Crook IS paid by the people and sent by the peo- Vle, aud the people have right to know yShy such a mysterious campaign. with such mysterious results cannot be es- glained tO them. Even AL Slebre, the crave captain of the scouts, is ashamed 10 speak on the subject. All the officers
 s well as the soldiers are silent. and everything goes to prove that there Is something concealed. What has Gen. Crock accomplished for our welfare This IS the question which IS asked by rhe people of Arizona, while the Mexi- can press is loud in it's complaints If the constant murders, committed by the renegade Indians which General Crook , sft behind him in the fastnesses of the Sierra Madre. The supposition natural ] ' IS that Crook has made some kind Of treaty with the Indians. But vha-
 vas the nature of that treaty? The psO- rle of Arizona have right to know. The Indians who were to come and vol rntarily surrender themselves to be put peaceably upon the reservation have not yet appeared. -PheniK Herald.

 NEW YORK, August 3-The strike now seems to be settled down to the question of endurance. Mir. Gould outlined his plan in his statement to friend. While talking of the situation he said: The present strike was but a skirmish line in the fight which has been projected by the Knights of Labor, of which the brotherhood IS branch. Every corpora tion or firm or individual who employed large number of men are interested in seeing this movement checked for they know that its success means the success of the Knights of Labor. Owing to the great interests involved in the Western Union it cannot and will not give in, no matter what its losses or to what incon- venience the pubic IS put.

GENERAL BonRchea, the Cuban pal not, has issued another proclamation, "To the people of Cuba, calling upor them to unite against the tyrany Of Spain. He has been in this country only twenty days, but during that time he has created considerable stir among the Cdban citizens in the United States, who seem to be strongly in favor of an- other effort for freedom. General BOI a. chea sta ed in New York the other day, that you will see in the course Of the next week a state of serge in the follow ing towns:-Villa Clara, Clenfuegosr Remedies, Sagua, Colon, Trinidad and Santa Spiritu. I am looking to the sinking of all petty iealousies on the p.rt of the revolutionists and united ac- ton when the time comes to act"
 It looks very much as though the Cubans were ID earnest, and that a re- belion is imminent. If they should make another effort for freedom, We trust the United States will not hesitate to recogognize them as beligerents as soon as they make sufficient showing for possible success. Had this been done in the former revolution, Cubs would now have been a republic, and the necessity of further bloodshed avoid. ed. Cuba will become free country sooner or later, and the encouragement of the United States should be extended to the Cubans if there IS any possible way of doing so.

IF we may believe the statements of the spokesmen of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the failure of the strikers to secure a reduction of the hours of labor and an increase of wages, is a foregone conclusion. This Is no fault of the strikers, they struck on short notlce, believing that they held the key to the situation, and so far as We know, have held out almost to man. Not only this, but many non-Union men have joined the Brotherhood and strike since the strike began, which greatly strength ened their position. Yet with this in- creased strength added to their own unanimity of action. after ten days ab- sence from "the saunders" failure stares them in the face, while the company, without their services, seems to be gain ing in strength and efficiency every day. 50 far, the strikers have gained nothing, while the company has suffered heavy loss. The strike, while 1t has been gen eral and wide spread, 1t is to the cridit of the Brotherhood that they have acted with fairness, and have not resorted to any Iawless measures, or arbitrarily st- tempted to prevent others from filling thelr places.

STURGEON pleased hIs congregation very much few Sundays ago. He be- gan his sermon as usual and got through his firstly and finding 1t very warm he looked around, seeing some of his con- gregstion pantlng for breath and others dozing and brushing the flies from their faces, quietly interrupted himself with the remark: That is the end Of the firstly, and it's SO warm to-day that I think the secondly and thirdly will keep for 8 cooler Sunday" How different are most preachers from Mr. Sturgeon; they have no idea that what they may have on hand "will keep till a cooler day" and strange to say, in most instances it wlli not keep.

TIE thieves could have Rmassed for tune during the recent strike, had they improved theIr opportunities; 1t IS ar easy matter these days to steal and rob but since the telegraph has come into such general use 1t is hard matter to get away with the swsg. But if some of the expert thieves had have cracked few banks, they might have gone thousand miles away and hid the money without leaving a trace behind or running the least chance Of being pestered with detectives, who under ordinary ciIcum- stances would have carried minute tele- graphic descriptions of the robbers in their pockets. The cracksmen were certainly not on the alert. Possibly they were of to the watering places, up iD some cool mountain retreat enjoying themselves as other people are ID the habit of doing, and thus lost their op- portunity

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA RAILROAD.

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA hAALhOAb.
 Some two years ago, the New Mexico and Arizona railroad company, surveyed 6 line for railroad from Calabasas to Tucson. which survey and profile when oompleted WAS placed on file with the County Recorder of this county, and with the United States Land Office at Tueson and with the Secretary of the Interior at Washington. The company has always stated that they would build this road, but they have delayed so long, that the people of Arizona had about made up their minds that nothing would be done by the Atohison, Topeka and Santa Fe c0mpsry-who are the real owners of the road above referred to. Bat 1t appears they have not abandoned the project, but have actually taken stems to secure the money with which to prosecute the work We learn from the Tombstone Republican that the com pany, on Saturday, filed for record ln Cschise county, a mortgage to ''the BOs- ton Safe Deposit company for sl5,OO mile on all of thelr road now completed, and that Tn the future to be built" The bonds run for thirty years and bear 6 per cent interest payable seml-annually. The same instrument was filed for rec ord with the County Recorder of Pima county today, and provides that the principal office of the company shall be at Tucson.
 This road also eontemplates the build ing of a line from Deming west to Tombstone. to i9tersect the New Mex ico and Arizona road at Fairbanks on the San Pedro; also the extension of road from this place to an intersection of the Atlantic and Pacific via Florence, Phenix and Prescott The proposed line is one Of the most promising in the Territory, and would do as much, or more, towards developing Arizona than any other project that could be devised. We earnestly hope that the work will begin at an early day and be pushed to speedy completion. This road would open up some of the most valuable min ing regiong in Arlzona, as well as bring our agricultural, pastoral and min ing interests in close communication by rail, which could not fail to greatly in- crease the prosperity of every section of the country touched, and would equally benefit Co.hise. Pima. Pinal, Maricopa and Yavapai counties. We trust the leading citizens and taxpayers of the counties above named will not be slow to give encouragement to this projected line Of road, which is feasible proDosi- tion and of great importance to the TerrItOry

THE consumption of canned meats in tue western territories is enormous. Arizona alone consumes over SlO0OO0 worth of canned meats annually. This consumption of canned meats is not be- cause it Is preferred to fresh meats, but on account of its being in handy shape and can be taken long distances by pros pectors, teamsters and others, where fresh meats cannot be had. It IS not likely the consumption Of canned meats will ever decrease much, if any, in the western territories.
 It would be a good investment for some of our large cattle owners If they would establish a csnnery for putting up meats at some suitable point in Arizona. Such meat retails here for 9 cents a pound. There is large profit m the business and is worthy of consideration

CHICAGO, Ills, August l.-The working number of Western Union wires were seriously interfered with to-d day. Cir. cults were broken by connecting lines by means of fine copper wires. The cause of the trouble was finally located and removed. Master Workman Morris intimRtes that the Brotherhood will probably be compelled to order out the members working for railroads very soon. He denies the statement that Is men returned to work in New York yes- terday. He says only 9 have returned over the entire country since the inaug- uration of the strike.
 DENVER, Colo, August I.-The report circulated yesterday that the Grand Army Republic excursion train had been wrecked Tn the Black Canyon on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and a great number of lives were lost, has not the least foundation in fact. Abso- lutely nothing occurred to mar the 1 pleasure of the excursionists.
 DENVER, Colo, July 3l.-The report sent east last night, probably from some mountains towns, that the Grand Army excursion train had been wrecked ID Black Canyon and about one hundred and thirty lives lost, IS the most cruel hoax ever perpetrated on the public. Not fatal railroad accident has occur red in Colorado or Utah for months past, and the particular train said to have been wrecked was not within one hundred miles of Black Canyon at the time.

There was perfect ovation the entire distance, The main building, capable of holding 20,OOO people, was filled completely. l President Dupont of the exposition, vel comed the President in a fitting speech. Gen. Arthur gracefully responded and concluded by starting the vast mschin- cry and pronouncing the exposition open.
 CHICAGo. August A mortgage for Sl6,OO0OOO was recorded yesterday at Springfield, Illinois. Cyrus c. Hines. of the India and Union Trust Company, of New York, loaned the money to the Ohio and Mississippi Railway Company The object Of the mortgage IS to enable the company to regain custody of its prope ty. which has been in the posses sion of the courts under foreclosure pro- ceedings since 1876
 NEW YORK, August l.-The situation of the telegraphIc strike is about the same. Rumors of important movements will soon occur, but nothing can be learned regarding it.

The Dakota boom has nearly run its course. A despatch tO the Chirago Her ald from Fargo shows that business IS dull and that mechanics and laboung men are better off far away from there. The despatch says: Times have chang ed Many of those who came here one year ago would be glad to get back to the positions they left. The opening of last Spring brought with It an infiu1 of laborers who were attracted by the re- port that building would be brisk and wages high. Many jf the newspapers, from some unconceivsble motive, ap- pealsd to the Eastern laborers to come to this country, where they could find plenty of employment at double the wages offered them m the East. The work was tempting and many bit. They came. The majority of them found no work, and the consequence Is there are to-day in North Dakota hundreds of men idle who are obliged to remain 30 because they are unable to pay their way
