THE disgraceful scene recently enacted in the court room at Prescott should be a warning to attorneys n other sections Of the territory to control their passions in heated debates, es- 5ecially when there is stored up near at hand species of dynamite in human shape, as was in the case of McAteer, who was defendant in the case being tried. It appears that the attorneys ID the case are responsible for the inaugu- ration of the disgraceful tragedy which, once started. was beyond the power of the court to control McAteer, the leading spirit in continuing the fight, which the lawyers began, is described Rs an excitable nIan, who mas been Tn such scrapes before, and who had cut very seriously or killed his opponent m New Mexico before coming to Ariz ma. Messrs. Beach and More, who were stabbed by McAteer seem to be entirely innocent of wrong. NIT. More is an old and respected citizen of Kirkland valley, while the only fault that can be found with Mr. Beach Is that he dId not shoot the would-be assassin earlier in the fray. The attorneys who acted so iniudiciously in this case and who have brought disgrace on the territory cannot be too strongly censured.

REPORT OF SECRETARY TELLER.

The Secretary of the Interior, in his report to the President, seems 10 have pretty fair idea of the Apache question in ArIzona He thinks ''it is not at all surprising that the people of Arizona should have been excited over these outrRges, occurring each year with the regularity of the seasons" He also ex- presses the belief that should these raids continue nothing but the pres ence Of a military force will protect the Indians at San Carlos reservation from destruction
 The secretary recommends a careful survey Of San Carlos reservation, and such portions as are not needed for the support Of the Indians be cut off He says the reservation IS not tine property Of the Apache Indians residing on IL, but it is hard to make them understand that 1t is not theirs.
 He well says that the people of Ari- zona believe 'the agency IS the Aaroor for renegades, thieves and murderers. He further adds: And 1t Is to be feared that heretofore such belief has not been without foundation"
 The secretary says ''it is competent for the President by Executive order, to reduce the reservation, and thus throw the coal fields out Of ths reservation, but thinks it not advisable to do so without compromising the Indians for the land. IT the President follows up the recommendations of the Secretary of tho Interior, the honest prospectors who located mines and coal lands or the reservation will have theIr claims restored to them. As a whole the re port of Secretary Teller is a fair and common sense one and shows that ht has studied the questions he discusses in his report.

TIE sand lots of San Francisco still have an irresistible attraction for the rabble on Sundays, notwithstanding the absence of Denis kearney. The moon eyed leper" theme having been worn thre5dbare, the expansive minds If the gifted speakers have drifted across the ocean, and their shoulders are assistlng in bearing tine burden of Ireland's woes. At Irecent sand lot meeting Dr. c. C. ODonnell harangued the crowd m 8 general denunclation of England and with a comprehensive knowledge of the situation, arraigaed General Rosecraus for neglectlng to see that O'Dcnnell, the slayer of Carey, had a fair trial By his passive indifference, the faith Of the sand lotters in Rosecrans' omnipoience has been shaken, and that disciple Of the great unwashedl IS awakening to a realizing sense Of the evanescent glory Of hls universal statesmanship. His neg feet m sinking the royal dry bones of tyrannical England is criminal act Of omission for which Calitornia's obscure congressman must be held personally responsible. The blood Of the murderer of Carey will forever be the cap-stone of his earthly iniquity and the anathema of the sand lots k pronounced agaInst the trembling and
 disgraced hero of Chickamsuga. But
 tine sand lotters are going to still fur ther humiliate not only proud Britain,

There are many good mines in Globe that may be successfully worked, when cheap transportation IS reached If the value of the Ray Cop Der company has not been greatly over estimated, that mine alone will almost keep the freight department busy dur ing the construction of inc road north Co the pine regions.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Times thinks President ArthUr's messa-e somevhGt careless, sees a tribute to Irish vote in language used in regard to pauper emI- grants. The press in general express disappointment that the President did not recommend a reduction in the tariff at this session. All however, refer t1 the message of the President as pictur- ing the great prosperity of the United States. IL IS principally remarkable for its exhibition of decision on the parc of the republic, to spend public money. The Standard says the most important part IS that containing a recommenda- tion to use heroic measures for the sup. preston of polygamy. The Telegraph denounces the Presidents rec9muendH- tion to use heroic measures for the sup pression of polygsmy and describes the as an attempt to erect political despotism On the ruins Of prescribed faith.

The report is concise, yet il touches upon every matter that requires the attention of the government. The report fairly covers the ground, and should greatly aid us in securing our rights at Wash ingtOn.

A neat little scheme to liberate fe- male from the Austin, Tex, insane asy- lum was dropped onto" recently by the manager of that concern. Some time ago a widow giving her name as Mrs. Raymond, applied to the superIntend- ant of the asylum for position as at tendant, and as she presented satistact- ory recommendations she was at once engaged and was gt once put in charge Of one of the female wards. She showed a zeal and care for Jhe unfortunate to a marked extent, until recently when the superintendent noticed something pe- culiar iu her actions, and finally came to the conclusion that she was insane, and went before a judge and took the proper steps Co have her declared in- sane. When the woman was informed of i- she flew into a rage and 1t was dis covered that she was a daughter of a mo- tOr;ous female character in that vicinity, and that she had been sent down there Co secure a situation in the asylum to aid in the escape of her sister, Mrs. Johnson, a member of the saHctiica- tiOnists.

THE mines in Sonora lying between Magdalena and Ures, are developing much better than any hitherto opened up in that State. The San Ricardo, and other mines, in that vicinity, are looking well, and those who have recently visited that region of country express the opinion that the mines are valuable, and extensive works will be erected there for the reduction of the ores. The mines carry both gold and silver; the ores are free, and of high grade, and the lodges are large. With all of these favorable indications, 1t does not seem possible that the mines VII prove other wise than paying investments.

Here is the remedy he prescribed: "On tte first appearance of an attack there must be administered an emetic of thirty grains of ipecacuanhua and two grains of tartar emetic After the emetlc has acted, copious draughts of warm water must be taken upon the stomach. In case either vomiting or purging contIn- ues the usual doses of diluted sulphurlc acid are sure to stop it. Mir.
