4 LEAF FROM ANCIENT HISTORY.

These are familiar names that we see figuring
in the reports from Albany us connected with
various schemes relating to a new city charter,
to the appointment of Water Commission
with small matter of eighteen or twenty mil
lions to disburse, and various other things with
money and Offices in them. We seem somehow
10 have heard them before. But not, if memory
serves, in precisely the same relation. Let us
see. How long ago was it that some OF these
prominent active and influential Democrats
were Oh end in Cooper Institute in a great
popular uprising" dcnouncing. rs corrupt and
dishonest men, certain other prominent, active
and influential Democrats with whom they are
now in the most harmonious relationsY And
how long ago was it that some of these Demo-
Gratis were organizing what they called the
County Democracy" with the sole purpose Of
extcrminating Tammany Hall as n political
power 1t seem ages. So long ago that as we
look upon the lo7ing combinations at Albany
we almost forget that the time ever was when
some of these gentlemen, now hugging each
other, stood of exchanging hard names and
saying things about each other which most dis
interested people believed. though each strenu-
ously denied the others charges. The reign of
Tweed is ancient history of course;
We forgot long ago that there was ever n
Tweed and that lac was natural Democratic
product that lie vas n Boss and robbed this
city to the extent of millions. We have so far
forgot it that to-day sitting in tho Legislature
at Albany are several of lis most intimate
friends, allies and accompices, apportioning our
taxes and making our laws. And We seem to
have forgotten just as thoroughly that there
was ever "great popular uprisiDg"-not Of

Lightly equipped, riding ponies as tough and
tiroless as themselves, they move with tho ease
and rapidity Of wild animals One day they
attack mining camp 800 miles down the
Sierra Madre, and within week they are
heard of on the Arizona frontier. There arc
probably not more than 800 or 400 OF these
hostiles, but General Crook states that the
Chricahuas have killed over 1000 persons in
the last ten years. They operate in detach-
ments and isolated bands, and this renders
them apparently more numerous than they
really are. Some OF these gangs are respOn-
sble for the recent murders on this side the
boundary line.
The Indians on the San Carlos reservation
are in the hands of capable agent, Mr.. Will
cox. and have remained quiet. save for the re-
ports of uneasness among the young bucks.
There is the usual talk of couriers going be-
tween tho hostiles and San Carlos, but so long
as no outbreak is reported such rumOrs can be
as safely discounted as the great mass of re-
ports in regard to Southwestern Indian affairs.
With General Crook in the field, with the
Apaches remaining ON the reservations and
some recently asking for work, it is to he earn
estly hoped that we may not be disgraced by
another wholesale butchery of unOffending
men. women and Observation-Disclosures because
they bear the hated name of Apache.

LYNCH LIZ ZOE INDIANS.

The Apache troubles in the Southwest ap-
pear according to late dispatches, not unlikely
to result in such wholesale application OF
lynch law rs has too often dsgraced frontiers
men and even United States troops in their
dealings with Indians 1t is said that the
residents Of Globe, a. T., with others, are
medltating indiscrmInate reprisals. At the
time OF the last important disturbance by
Apaches there were efforts made at Tucson
and Tombstone TO incite a general massacre of
the Indians at San Carlos. The familiar
Western saying, "There's 10 good Indian ex-
cept dead Indian" finds strong acceptance in
the Southwest.
Yet. dangerous as these troubles arc to the
people in southern Arizona. and vexatious as
they may he to Eastern people whose pecunary
interests are interfered with, 1T should be re-
membered that the great body Of Apaches ars
not responsible. TO demand a general on
slaught upon the San Carlos Indians is no
farer than to ask tho punishment OF all the
Irishmen in New-York on account OF the sins
of McGuin and some Of his brother "tOughs.'
The Apache chief Juh. who succeeded Victoria
as the leader of the hOstiles, has with Loco
maintained Il small band in the Sierra Madre
range between Sonora and chihuahua. These
are chiefly Chricahua Apaches. 50 called from

Republicans, but of Democrats, against
Tweed's lineal successor and the "machiue"
which both used for purposes OF their own. But
was it ages agoq No: by the calendar less than
eighteen months And the men who eighteen
months ago were denOuncing each other as cor
rupt and bad, as political tyrants, corruptionists
and thieves, are to-day hOb-nObbing with each
other at Albany in perfect agreement and ac-
cord upon measures for The government OF the
city and for the disposition of all the offices and
patronage. Have they changed at all since they
stood of against each other Not in one wish
BILE particular. Mr.. Kelly is as bad man to-
day as when the gentlemen of the County Dem
Ocracy were denOuncing him eighteen months
AGO. and Mr. Hubert o. Thompson has not
changed one whit since the gifted Grady set on
foot an investigation of him in the last Legisla-
tuIe.
But to-day these lately warning elements are
all in accord. 1t seems like ancient history,
the "reminiscences of their relations with each
other a short twelvemonth since. Why this
fux of discordant factionsP The question
answers itself. There's chance for both at the
public crib. 1t may be-may be-that at last,
what with the opportunities offered by new
charter and the eighteen or twenty millions in
volved in the new water supply, there will be
senough to 90 round" In that hope the fac
tons have combined. And now the question that
remains is simply how long good citizens will
have to wait for the factions to learn that there
is not enough, and to have in consequence an
other falling ont. But how like ancient history
the record of the "great uprising. against Tam
many reads to-day.
