 Of dollars were lost, tho insurance com
 pauies bounced down on what they con
 sidsred hazardous risks and Udded an- other quarter of cent to the rate that had already been paid, but the comja-

 in Prescott, because We had water and
 good fire laddles. both of which Prescott

 and insurance companies.
 THERE Is something quite significant
 in the praise Of the Prescott papers of General Crook's Indian campaign and management ot the Apache. There Is
 a weakness in it however, ws tea- these
 journals have not discovered All their
 prai-e oi the General is to the effect
 that he has protected tee Indian from
 the rapacious jaws, go to speak, of the
 white man. and mt the white man from
 the Indian. According to these journals
 tn General has succeeded m trolling
 the red devils into his lines under the
 protection of the strong arm of tbe
 military. They are. as these journals would lead tbe public 10 understand
 General Crooks specil wards, and not a har cf their heads must be touched though they jtie wards can take the 70 Ups of as many white men sni women as they see fit, when they conclude to take hun: after human live- and rich booty. Crock has said hIms.f that the deaf whites can't be brought back by p1nishing the murlerers,- -wh 'u means,

The people of Arizona are in favor of segregation and they care nothing for the ambition or the army and the nursing and coddhng of the In dians. They are in favor Of going further and "segregatinc" t.e Indians, which, by the way, can 1e done, and We hope Secretary Teller wIl take toe bull by the hons and do it.
