.sE APAcHEs IN SONORA

T s people of Sonora have been more ,- less hsrrassed by the Apache savsges ,.- since General Crooks command ,.,, rre Sierra Madres. Some twenty .,5 citizens and soldiers have been -,ls5. so far as heard from. The sav- .-ss have been relieved of the care of .,.,- old men, women and children, are ,-s1 armed and equipped, and are ID ,--iition to carry on a sanguinary war fs-s against a people who have already s,f-rsi severely from their murderous ads. General Crook, iG his remarkable -s75-t Co the War Department, in the .f,siYr paragraph, says: "I may add .5at tLe fact that the Indians left be- t,ri have not come in IS matter of no ,.,,i6eauce.- But this, We suppose, is Ike many other questions in relation 10 General Crooks campaign and his man. ,-ansu. of the Indians, and is looked -,,n iu a very different light by the ,s7nls of Arizona, and from what We Esa-. # IS a matter of some signifi- .-7ce to the people of Sonora. Gen s,sl Crook says "the Indians have no .isqof the value of time" In this We .f--k General Crook Is much mistaken; -sav know the "value of time" The very b.st evidence oc this fact may be found i- the last raid they made in Arizona and New Mexico. The night after kill in, the Frenchman and three Mexicsns ;- the Whetstone mountains they .-ossed the San Pedro to the Dragons, srlsd Col. Dioble's brother and one a,ber man. and less than twenty-four sa7rs thereafter were on the upper Gila, some seventy miles away. That, it seems to IS, was very good evidence that they barr some idea of the value of time. Their idea oi the value of tune" on that disastrous raid was most perfect; tey measured every hour with such ex- sr-Dess that neither Gen. Crook DOT any .oliier in his command caught sight of tbem. No peuple in the world have a s4--ar idea oi the value Of time" than ;be Apaches, and they never fail to take advantage of that idea when 1t Is to -5=i- interest to do so. Itwas given out srns days ago by one Frank Leslie, of Tombstone. that the renegades were making their way towards the reserva- asr. aud that two or three struggling lands had already reached the vicinity O. San Bernardino ranch and Silver c-.sk. but SD far the story lacks confirm stlan. and tue fact that the Indians are s.l d-predating in Sonora, where, ae- c1riing to the latest adyices, they have killed Colonel Bandola and four citi- -.ns. and fatally wounded a woman, IS evidence that the Indians are not con- inz in, but are murdering and plunder ia- the unfortunate people of that sec tou with more than their usual daring, TEe fact that the Indians left behind have not come ID may be a matter of u5 significance" to General Crook, but II savrry serious matter to the people of Sanora, who are being shot down with fixed ammunition said to have been fur uisded the savages by San Csrso' SC us. General Crook has brought trouble to the citizens of Sonora; the lss,. be can do is to render them sucI 4.i as is in his power, and If possible assist them in hunting down the mur ierars

TEE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA.

I;!s common in some quarters to take It for granted that the people of Arizona ale R worthless set of vsgsbonds, out laws and escaped criminals from all parts of the world; and that thieves and lavless characters have things accord- nc t0 their own liking, and that the ex- ec1G1u of the law Is an impOssibillty. Tlls is a great mistake. The people of Arizona are, as a rule, industrious and law abiding. The city of Tucson IS one Of the most orderly in the country; there a-- fewer hsnio1s crimes committed here tlan iu towns Of similar sIze in the states, and the same may be said of all tle permanent towns and cities of this Territory. No man can commit a crime Are and escape the majesty of the law The people of Arizona are in favcr of sE and order, and will go as far to en- .0-ee them as the people of any other section of this broad land. It does not necessarily follow that, because we are 0n the frontier, we are cutthroats and ~shite scuundrels." We have thieves and lad men ID Arizona, as every other state and territory iu the Union have and il about the same proportion. and DO more. Our people came from every state ID the Union, and they are not the d-egs from those states by any means The ignorant and protiigate are not the kmd oi people who are the pioneers oi of any country; they are made mp Of th' best material-men of courage and per serereuce, who are wiling to take theil lives in tleIr hands, and go to the front regardless Of danger and the hardshlpl which follow the footsteps of all pio aesrs. We have capitalists her who carry as good credentials as any Il the land. We have graduates of col iegei from many of the best institution 10 California, Europe and the East. WI have lawyers from the Columbia la' school, and physicians from the UnlVer sity of Pennsylvania. ministers from th Hub down, and journalists who are abi to make the most out of the material Il reach, who are true to the people an Sl-l not allow them to be traduced, n matter from what source 1t may come and what is better than all, We have g5oi class of rancnmen, artessns an nen wh' earn their living by the swea 1i their brow.

MORE NONSENSE FROM WASHINGTON.

The Charleston News and Courier of a recent date reports the formation at Washington Of "a powerful secret or- ganization of leading negroes, having for its object the colonization of negroes ID South Carolina and elsewhere. Many members of the organization, 1t Is said hold lucratIue government offices, and Fred. Douglass is understood to favor the scheme. Meetings are constantly being held in Washington to advance the movement, but with such secrecy as to not attract public attention. It Is proposed to keep the matter quiet unul a definite plan of action has been deter mined upon, and desirable place of settlement fixed. The whole scheme will then be suddenly made public and fully discussed st a mass meeting of the race in Washington and elsewhere"
 This somewhat sensational report has frightened the people Sf South Caro- Ina, who are not over anxious to sur render that slate entirely to the colored race. But If they would stop a moment and think, they could not help but see the tallacy os the report. Who OWLS South Carolina, and in whose hands Is its landed estate? What proportion of the land do white men own, and what amount do negroes own? We venture to say that the white men of that state own nineteen out of every twenty acres of the land. As we understand It, they are well satisfied with their holdings, and many of them believe they have one of the most favored lands in the Union. The negroes cannot take the lands of South Carolina by conquest, and the white owners will not sell to them except at figures far above the real value of the land, and It Is not at all likely the colored people have any money to throw away on land at fancy prices, simply for the sake of congregating in the Palmetto State. NegrOs, as a rule, are not migra tory. They have uever yet even formed a successful colony, and the idea of their taking South Carolina Is simply prepos- terous. I, they were perseverlng and energetic, which they are not, they might do something towards capturing Florida, where there are large tracts of land to be had at low rates. But they will not even do that. The negroes in the South are lOath to leave the localit, n which they were born, and where they are needed and are doing moderatel. we'll The negroes of the North are DO a class who will colonIze or capture an, country. Most of them are servants, barbers and la5orers who work at al kinds of odd jobs; they are satis6e. with a living, and are not ambitious for conquest or empire, and are wholly de ficient in every thIng needful for sue cessful pioneer life. It Is rather strang. that the people of South Carolina. wbo have had negroes among them all thei lives, should attach any importance f, such Idle talk.

KELLY and Randall, of Pennsylvania

KELLY and Randall, of Pennsylvania, occuy peculiar relations with the people outside If their party. They are both high protectir re tariff men, and all men in Pennsylvania occupy about the same position upon that question. Kelly is a life long republican, yet he has lots of friends among the democrats. Randall is q democrat, yet he has hosts of friends among the republicans. As the Pennsyl- yanians say, they are both all right on the main question: The man in that state who does not favor a protective tariff could not be elected poundmaster of the smallest village.

Ir is said that John A. Marhn' or Kansas, has announced himself a candl- date for Vice President on the Republl- can ticket. Now such announcement would be very foolish on the part Of John. and we hardly think he made 1t. There is no danger of Kansas going the Democratic road at the coming election Presidents and Vice Presidents now-a- days are usually selected from doubtful States. Indiana and New York are the States to hail from. The man who can convince the convention that he can carry New York can get the nomination for Presid mt, and the one who can make the same showing in Indiana will be a strong man for the second place on the ticket.

EdIsnn AS an nneraiOr.

Edison used to work the other end of a circuit with me-" says telegraph operator interviewed in the Vicksburg Herald, "and 1 knew him when he was in Memphis some thirteen or fourteen years ago. He always looked ratty, and never spent his money on clothes, but the reason was that he was always tlok- ering with some new cOntrIvsnce or other, and spent his money in paying for material to work out his inventions. He used to take press Tn Memphis. He was as fast as they make 'em, and his copy never gave telegraph editor but of trouble. He had a way while wait ing for copy of drawing carica ures, H. frustrating the character of news he was getting and putting them along m the spaces of the copy he sent into the press. This made one of the papers up the e, I forget which, red hot, and 1t opened on him, and had a good deal to do with his being fired by the manager. Edison didn't want the fool editor to print his funny pictures in his telegrsphic news.

THE LOCO WEED.

Sometime since Mir. ". Fl. Torlinger, of Whiiesboro, Texas, sent to a firm of chemists in Detroit, Mich, specimens of the loco plant, including root. flower and seeds, for analysis, winch he ob- tained in Lubbock county Texas. Their report to MT. Torlinger IS as follows:
 "The loco plant of Texas is Astralagus mollissImus. Analyses of the plant have been repeatedly attempted. but no pol sonous principal has ever yet been iso lated from the drug, and, indeed, h'slo- logical experiments with the drug itself upon various animals have failed 10 show that 1t produces the effect gener ally attributed to 1t. Numerous observ- CTS, however. concur in their accounts O the peculiar effects it seems to produce upon horses. No sntidote to these et fects is known, and with so imperfect a knowlege of the poison itselt and the pathological changes in causes, 1t is im- possible even to suggest a line of ezper- imental research with view to discover such antidote."
 This weed, which is looked upon as poisonous to horses, grows plentifully in Texas, and is also found in New Mex ieo, Arizona and California. Itis strange that no poisonous properties have been discovered in the plant. If the analysis was made by competent chemists, the investigation should not be suspended, but the poison, or the cause of produc- ing the disease in horses, known as loco, should be ascertained. Possibly the disease may be caused by some insect which deposits its larva upon the plant, or it may be caused by some substance that the stomach of the horse will not digest, which may form in the shape of balls, 9s is well known to be the case in cattle from accumulations of hair. licked from their own bodies or those of their associates. We have seen these hair balls taken from the stomach of COWS nearly as large as a football, of perfectly round form and as firm and smooth as woven hair cloth. We would suggest to those who may lose horses from eating the loco plant, to examine the animals stomach after death, and see if the real cause cannot be found there.
