A Fair Statement of Fae;s.

Now that the hali-staryed, ragged, hard-up and temporarily played out Chiricahuas have sneaked into Arizona and taken refuge on the San Carlos res ervatiOu, We are treated to the usual ex ultant paragraphic nonsense m the col umas ot those very lew territorial news papsrs whose editors claim to recognize m General Crook a great military genius, and III his random, paroXysmll cam paign Of last summer q grand military success. We can not believe these ed itors express their real sentiments. The raid of last spring was feared, foreseeu and predicted by those who were liable to suffer from 1t, and these fears were not only published by the Tombstone papers, the Silver Belt, Of Globe, and jther local frontier papers, but cOmmu- nicdtiOns were sent abroad. Notably, carefully pr pared letters were sent to St. Louis and published in the RepuDli- can, Tn which that outbreak was pre- dIcled, ter the very purpose of arOusIng general attention, in the hope that the necessary steps would be taken in tune 70 thwart the threatened carnival Oi blood. The Republicans correspond sut's prediction was fulfilled almost to a day. General Crook made DO move ment at all until the raiders had swung into ArZOna and New Mexico, and Were sweeping back To their Mexican stamp lng ground, and their ensanguined trail had already grown cold. There IS no evidence whatever that we can see that any of General Crooks movements in the field, or his wining and dining with the high Mexican officers and their la- dIes in the comfortable cities of Sonora, saved single human life, rescued a sol itary suffering captive, or saved the pso- pie of Arizona and New Mexico a dol lars worth of property; and no one who understands the situation suppOses for a moment these Chiricahuas would not have sneaLed into the reservation just as they haze dous if Crook had never moved or done anything at alL They They have come in through necessity, and while they are tattening at San Carlos thy will plan another murdering raid.-Benson Herald.

THE ORIGIN OF EVIL.
Results of Twelve Years Of study by Ger
 aId Massey.

1 Gerald Massey, the English poet. was ! seen, yesterday by a Tribune reporter at | his temporary residence, on Greene ave-
 nue, Brooklyn. lie Is a man of medium [ height, with scanty grayish beard, a ! high intellectual forhead and keen eyes. ! He stated that he was only known here
 as versIier, but he was anxious to be known as something more. He was not a quack, with some untried nOstrum. what he propounded tO the public had
 been elaborated for years, and was the
 result of unremItting study. He was neither e Bradlauch por an lugersoll,
 and there would be nothing in his lec-
 ture antagonistic tO Christianity. He
 aimed only at giving a larger interpreta-
 ton to Christian truth.
 On being asked why he had not ad-
 hered to poetry, considering the cordial
 reception which hIs verses had met, he sad:
 "A great German author asked me the same thing, but l am still young and may return to poetry later on; mean
 while, would like Co bring before the American public the first fruits of twelve years labor. My lecture will be scientific, archaeological and revolu- tionary. With regard to the title,
 which Is sufficiently overpOwering- Man in Search of Ills Soul During Fifty Thousand Years, as Witnessed by the Evidence of Bone Caves, and How He Finds It'-my theory Is that some fifty thousand years ago the prehistoric man ln buryins his dead, as dId the red Indians In their mounds, adopted a posture for the body indicating belief m resurrection; and the images, etc, buried ID the tOmbs convey the same idea"
 He has spent twelve years in this in- quIry. for which purpose he had to study Hebrew and Egyptian hieroglyphics. his professor being Dr. Samuel Birch, the well-knOwn phiiologist. The results | of bis study are contained in two large volumes entitled; "The Book of the Beginning and Natural Genesis" He hoped the American literary world had not forgotten his writings in The Quarterly Review, which contained tbe germ of his theory of Shakespeare son nets; nor his years labor on The Athe- l Beum, under Hepworth Dixon; but these were really only preparatory to l his last and greatest work.
 On being reminded that a dIsagreea- ble impression was formerly created by ] one of his lectures, which aroused the 1 strong dislike of Christians generally, ! MT. Massey said: "I am quite aware of | 1t, and Tn the British Critic writer said | that had alienated American sympa- thy by my hlasphemous lecture on tue l question: W by does not God kill the l devily But the writer forgot that the | question is taken from Robinson Cru ! soc. 1 und .rtake in my lecture tO give | the only true solution of the origin of | evIl, and hope no preconceptions aris- ing from fOrI"er efforts will keep the | public from giving due attention to what ] 1 may say nOw.-New York Tribune

Colorsd People on Texas Railways
New Orleans Times-Democrat.l


 Some months ago there was excite ment among railway managers in Texas because of the demands by colOred pas sengers to be admitted into the sleeping and other cars on railroads on equal footing with the white passengers. The negroes complained that they paid first ''lass fare but were forced to ride in sec ond class cars and were wholly excluded from sleeping coaches. After much acrimonious discussion and not a few personal difficulties with the colored people, the railway managers proposed to put on all trains special cara of the best classes for the sole use of the ne- grOeE, who were then tO be excluded from the white passengers. Hardly had this matter been determined on when The decision of the United States Su preme Court in the civil rights cases was promulgated, settling. as II was thought, these vexed questions as to the demands of colored persons for better travelling accommodations. The railway compa nies seeing an opportunity offered by this decision to e>cape the increased ex- pense of providing special cars for the colOred travellers, announced a recon sideration ofthe matter. Governor Ire land, however, does not consent to this change of base and has written to some of the railway officials declaring that the necessity still exists for these special cars. IL is the duty of the railways to provide first class accommodations for all passengers from whom first class fare Is exucted, and no declaration of Jhe Su- preme Court can affect this duty. He then dem nds, as the Chief Executive of Texas, that equal regard be paid to the rights of persons of both the white and black races, and in order to do tbis and at the same time to preserve harmony between them, these special cars are necessary, and he urges that they be provided. In the mean time all the irri- tation on the part of the cOlored people seems to have subsided, and they no longer seek tO storm the ladies car or tO make trouble with the railway people, and they moreover declare their inten- tion of going over to the democratic party.

The history of the school which the contributions of several eastern ladies enabled the Rev. Jose Ynez Perea to establish in Los COrrales, New Mexico, a year and half ago, reveals one of the obstacles to civilization ID that region. By hard work and honest persuasion Mir. Perea succeeded in enrolling f,rty- i've native scholars, who, moreover be- came much interested 10 their studles. There was no attempt to lnculcate any religious belief in the school, excepting that thirteen of the children were in- structed ID the Protestant faith at the request of their parents. But some of the Jesuit fathers Interfered, and ID order to shut up the schO0l the children were led to believe that the school house was in the possession Of the evil one, hat their teacher held nightly coDsults- ton with his satanic majesty, and that
 Omething horrible would happen Co them if they went near the place. Mr Peres lost all his scholars, and has never been able to reopen his school.

Wind BOarS Near Paris.

The Paris newspapers have but briefly mentioned an audaeiOus attempt which was made the other day to surprise Fort St. Cyr, one of the largest of the form ldable works that have been erected since 1871 for the defense of the French capital The sentinel on duty at the principal gate fortunately noticed eight strangers who were evidently eDGeavor- ing to enter the fortress in coutraven- tiOn of the regulations. IL does net ap- pear that he challenged them, but he called out the guard, whereupon the as- sailants took flight, and were pursued by a vOlley winch killed four of them. The remaining four succeeded in escaP- ing, and fought refuge in the ne-ghbor- ing forest of Arcy, whilher 1t was deemed unnecessary to follow them. The intruders were as fine wild bOars as have been seen since the beginning of the c ntury within so short a dist nee of Paris.-St. James Gazette.

The prOprietOrs then offered three prises to those who would eet the most of them within an hour, and twenty seven contestants presented themselves. One ate seven pies and took the prize of SjJ, ten thousand people witnessing the contest from the street. And the 1fOre- sad enterprlsIng merchant thus secured a vast amount of free advertising.

Twelve thousand dollars of the above amount would come from the United States, and the remaining three thou sand would be the value placed upon vacant lands embraced within the four leagues.
