The officers of the army must now do their duty, troops must be stationed ID a position to head off the anticipated movement. To prove this theory, 1t IS very wisely argued that a small portion of the Indians would never have left Ju and the main body, and made directly for the place they had just come from, going through con. paratively well settled country, did they not have some such idea in view. The success so far met with during the pres tnt raid will still farther encourage the backs on the reservation, and increase greatly their confidence in the ability o- their leader.

WHENEVER an individual turns his at tentiou to any special study aud brings
 bis mlnd to bear upon it to the exclu-
 S on of almost every other subject, he
 no. infreQuently allows himself to be GlrIed away, and often loses all interest in the common affairs of life. The young lawyer will discuss the most in-
 trlclte law points with the apparent
 knowledge of learned judge, before he has mastered the elementary principles
 or law. The young student of medicine
 will talk about taking up arteries before
 Ie knows anything about anatomy, and
 the Ledagogue will bore you for hours
 ID taking of the rudimental principles oi teaching matters which are of interest only to teachers and children. Then
 how mucn more Q oPooial subject Of thought will take hold of ones mind who has followed it for life. until 1t has
 passed the bounds of reason and has become a hobby. A few years ago a thing ID the guise of the human form,
 wbo had gained the confidence of few
 reputable men, started in New York
 vhat he called The Shepperd's Fold,"
 shere poor orphan children were col .ected with the avowed purpose Of giv- ing them homes, support and proper christian tralnIng. Complaints having been made, an investigation took Ilace which disclosed a system of cruelty that shocked the whole country. The con- mittee on public charitable institutions Of Boston, has lately made inquiry into the management of the State almshouse at Tewksbury, Massachusetts, where they have discovered the most shameful and crnel treatment of children, which has been going on for an indefinite ime. The helpless little children cried for bread, and adults were allowed to go four days without food. As a result, scores of the unfortunstes died of starvation and neglect, ard sixty bodies, in eight months were sold to medical institutions for dissecting purposes. Scarcely year passes that such abuses are not reported from some quarter in the United States. A fw days ago, Mr. Barnum killed a vicious elephant at his museum, in New York, xhereupon MT. Bergh proceeded to read ,in 6 lecture on cruelty to animals. The

ME. ROBERT GRIFFIN, the English sta- t.stciaH, uas turned his attention to the United States ot late. and as the result, be states that tEe population has in- cressei seventeen fold within q century, or from three to fifty millions. He as slu5s that m another century the whole population of the United States. at the same ra.Iu, will have increased to eight hundred millions. These figures look large, aud it does not seem possible that ile growth of tLis country will maintain iis present Tate of increase. War, pestl- .=loe and famine may come, though we i-e. safe now. Here are other agencies iaal tLe natural increase fl our popula- hou that has greatly added to our num- oers.it is the foreign immigration.

HE San Francisco Dally Exchange,
 m referring to articles which have ap-
 peared in ArIzona papers, says that the
 press IS complaining bitterly of the
 ineificlency of the military in that Ter
 ritory."
 ! The CITIZEN Is more conservative, but
 silli hints at policy of extermination,
 and calmly argues the case, arriving at the conclusion that as we kill viper, because we know its bite IS poisonous, and may cause death, why should not an : Apache be killed because We know that ! II We do not kill him he will kill us, etc Plausible us thIs argument may be in
 the abstract, the CITIZEN certainly dces
 not desire that a movement should be
 organized to massacre tin entire Apache confederation. That would be a lasting
 blot on tue fair fame of the Territory,
 though We know the aggTavatiou Is tx-
 cesslVe. It seems unaccountable that
 the small band of Indians who entered
 ArIZona little more than a week ago.
 have not been tracked and captured. or destroyed ere this. General Crooks
 ability and energy in the Indian war Of
 past years have earned for bim splendid
 reputation as an Indian fighter. It was with much difficulty that Governor Irltie obtained him for the Territory, and We then believed that all future h. dlau troubles would be promptly settled
 But there Is something rotten, and what It ls We la.l to learn from the Arizona press.
 No. the CITIZEN does not desire that a movement should be organized to mas sacre the entire Apache confederation. The CITIZEN advocates the removal of the Apaches from the Territory and is ln favor of securing it in peaceful way, but they must be removed. There is no use of talking about peace so long as they remain ip Arizona It is utterly impossible; the Department If the h. terlor aud Congress should be made 70 understand this fact and act upon 1t. 1 large proportion or the Indians on the San Carlos reservation may be peaceably ! disposed, but there are, at all times, ! young bucks ready and wiling to go on the war paCh. and 10 people know bet ! ter what that means than the people of ] Arizona. The citizens of Calf rnia and | the East have heard of the atrocious acts of Indians, but ley cannot under ! stand their full meaning until brought l home 10 near and dear friends as has 1 been n hundreds of cuses throughout i this Te' ritory. I. will cost | much less to board and clothc an Apache l in the Indian Territory than it does in Arizona. The San Carlos reservation is ! Lot farming country, and the day will | never come when the Apaches will be- come seli-supporting on that reserva- tion.
 As to the other matter referred to that "the-e Is something rotten, and what it | is We fail to learn from the Arizona | press" We eau only say, as member of | the press referred to, that We are no; yet in position tn agsver that question, aud it m gh. better be pu; e General Crock Ir t.. .r---tir world :i e press of Ariz .ua sa.s ~.,.. emgeisi,, bat it IS not. The people who stand behind the press complain because lJ IS not mere uutspulsu aud because 1t does not ;h.Ir feelings.

AT the meeting of the Boston Humane Association, statement was made to tho afTao+ that Agszt WiIoaz had tolo graphed "that the men killed by the Apaches were depredators." We hardly believe Agent Wilcox guilty of making such a foolish and hbelous statement. Former Boston men now residing in Tombstone, have forwarded a dispatch to Rev, Edward Everett Hale of Boston, denouncing the statement as a ma licious falsehood." Everybody in Au- zona knows that such statement would be a malicious falseLood; but would it not have been better for these gentle men to have ascertained whether Agent Wilcox made such a statement before replying to it?

IHr Tombstone Epitaph seems to i1nk that the agriculture of Arizona d-es Hot amount to much, and that there 's Do need Of larger appropriation with which Co make public land surveys.
