Severe Criticisms of Military Manage
ment in Arizona.


ment in Arizona.
EDIToR CRIT1c:--Newspape reports state
that General Schofield claims that the
settlers in Arizona and New Mexico can
only be fully protected from murder by
savage Apachcs when the Indians are en-
tirely under military surveillance, and
not allowed to roam at will over a reserve.
General Schofield knows or should
know what every person in Arizona
knows, viz; That the Apaches have been
under military police control for two or
three years. The Indians now on the war
path were, when they broke out, prisoners
of war in the hands of the forces of Gen
eral Crook.
These Apaches captured (?) by General
Crook in Mexico were never disarmed by
the military. The present acting Gov
ernor of Arizona, William Van Arnum,
said to General Crook, just after the
Crook, why do you not disarm these muir
derng savagesP' "Why Governor?'' re-
sponded General Crook, "if We take their
guns from them, they will think we are
afraid of them" "By Cd, sir, we are
afraid of them" was the indignant re-
ionder of the Governor
These Indians were never captured by
General Crook, as he claimed at the
memorable time when the Administration
allowed him to sit as adviser to President
Arthur's Cabinet to instruct them how to
settle the Apache question. No man can
be found in the Indian country who does
not verify believe that the Indians cap
turcd General Crook and dictated that
they should be allowed to come back, un-
punished for theft, slaughter, and rape,
with their stolen stock; that they should
be fed and clothed by the United States
and protected against the white owners of
stolen stock. Every one believes this in
Arizona, and certainly such was their
treatment.
General Crook brought in with him
from Mexico only the women, children
and a few men; the rest, as per stipula-
tion made by him when captured by the
Apaches, he left behind to gather their
stock. The Apaches came in when they
pleased, with stock stolen meantime and
the troops received them Hospitality and
used their force to protect them and their
stolen stock against the demands of the
owners. This can be proven.
The army believes its rdison d'etre to be
| to protect Indians against the id citi-
| zens," as the voters and taxpayers are
styled by the graduates of that unconsti-
| tutional school on the Hudson.

MIR. oONKLING's INFLUENoE.

Mr.. Roscoe Conkling has written II
letter to colored man in Baltimore, who
requested him TO ask the Secretary of the
Treasury to give him an appointment.
Mr.. Conkling says; "Were ] at liberty to

me, and could | suppose requests from me
would serve any good purpose, should

BIAIR-CHANDLER.

The New Hampshire Legislature will
to-day decide whether the Senatorial eau
Gus shall be held tomorrow or Monday.
Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Chandler continue to
be the only candidates spoken Of. There
is no hint of a dark horse. Should it be
decided to hold the caucus tomorrow it
will be Blair victory, as Brother Blair IS
working to that end, while Mr. Chandler
does not want the fight to commence until
next Monday.
AT present il looks as if Mr.. Blair would
be his own successor, though he is roundly
berated by the opposition. Mr.. Chandler's
frio nds talk of Blair as II paid attorney of
Gould and Huntington, denounce him as
being dishonesty connected with the
Shipherd Peruvian business, and as hav-
ing sold out his friends III various fraudu-
lent mining and patent schemes.
Mr.. Blair's supporters work the labor
end temperance record of their candidate
for all that it can bring, and defy their
opponents to produce any proofs of their
charges, These proofs were promised, but
not having come forth, there is more or
less dissatisfaction on the Chandler side.
Mr.. Blair claims that he will be nomi-
mated on the first or second ballot Mr..
Chandler talks of a bolt, but seems to find
difficulty in securing man to lead it.
The Manchester Uaioas Concord CORE
spondent says: "Blair Enthusiastically has
the best of it as sentiment now stands.

Administration hangs over the conflict

ing Senatorship for glory is a different

MIR. cox AND HIS FRIENDS.

Minister Cox has reason to be proud of
the banquet with which over two hundred
of his New York friends honored him at
the Hoffman House last night. His speech
upon the occasion was in his usual genial
vein, but when he said that if President
Cleveland had given him the word he
should have gone back to his constituents
there is trace of regret discernable that
the President determined otherwise.
But the die is cast and Mr. Cox will sail
for his new post June 90, accompanied by
the good wishes of an ever loyal consttu-
ency, and the general hope that his stay
with "the unspeakable Turk" will not be
long one. The next House of Repre-
sentatiyes will miss him quite as much as
he will miss the'Uouse.

THE "Coptic merchant" who has ar
rived at Cairo from Khartoum with the
sensational report that General Gordon
may yet be in the land of the living, stands
strongly in need of an indorser. The
story is highly improbable. 1t is to the
effect that when the Mahdi demanded the
head of Gordon as a trophy somebody inn
posed upon him the head of the Austrian
Consul, while Gordon in the mean time
made good his escape, and is now ON n
tramp over the equatorial deserts. At this
distance it looks as though the Coptic mer
chant was scheming for newspaper en-
gagement or lecture tour.

frain from making suggestions, even in
my own State"
This is undoubtedly a very sensible
view of the matter for Mr.. Conkling to
take. But we think there is no ground
for his hint that he has no influence with
this Administration Though not an
organ, THE CRIT1C believes that this Adj
ninistration has great deal of respect
for the ex-senator from New York rs well
as the Senator from Vermont.

TITS A little too early yet to predicate
speculative operations in giMn or any
ministerial cbenges that may take place
in England, especially if no rupture of
pending negotiations with Russia is proba-
BILE. A prominent member of the New
York Produce Exchange is quoted as
saying that thus far the circumstances
connected with this parliamentary sensa-
ton are comparatively tame. The fall of
consols is not greater than it usually is on
such occasions, and it would simply be
gambling or guesswork for rpersons on this
side to buy grain on the assumption Of q
largely increased foreign demand.
