That there were extrsvagant appropriations and measures adopted there can be doub:, and these we con demn as greatly as sny one can d., but We do no. believe that corruption was used in then euac;L1eu'. The near est approach tc bribery was atten pted by tue prominent citizens of Tue son, who sent mp q corrup- tion fund to Prescott to buy the re- noyal Of the capital. That IL was not used is due 10 .he fact that Prescott raised A more potent sum for counter corruption. The prominent citizens of PBscGtt were many of them involved in that "britery and corrur tIon," some ot whom are members of the present U :. grand iCry in that city. We do not for moment attribute the attacks of the Star to motives of principle. IL has a reputation too unsavOry to inspire such such a th ughi, ani its record from the the date 1t first appeared as a burlesque on journalism until the present moment scouts the idea.

HERE Is now no doubt that Chi, [
 Geronimo was upon the White Mouu-
 tam reservation last Tuesday night and
 took away with him two squaWs. He
 was also Tn communication with other
 Indians on the reservation and a few
 have left to link their fortunes win
 those of the murderous baud. At least
 twenty warriors are known to have
 made theIr way eastward Co the north oi Clifton, where they have stolen stock
 and supplies but have killed DO one vet. They are endeavoring to reach the main
 band Of hostIles and will not likely com mt any grave crimes until they have planned another campaign with the
 willy chief. People who live in the ex
 posed places through which the Indians raid, and know the habits and some
 thing of the plans of the hostiles, assure Us that the most bloody and dest. uc- tive portion of the Indian raid Is very soon to take place, and that ualess the people organize mounted police force for self protection, the hostiles will mee. with practically no l-I.-itIon m their bloody work. Inc settlers who know their trails and understand the rou,es they must follow feel sbundantIy sble to cope with the full strength of the hostiles with a force of equal numbers. They propose fighting them after their own fashion; to take relays of horses wherever they may be found, when ln active pursuit, and to obtain means of sustenRucs at ranch houses and settlements, leaving receipts therefor as vouchers for proper claims against the government, through the territory. By adopting thls plan and hunting down the wild beasts, they feel con- tident that the troubles will be speedily brought to an cod and that no recnr renee will be possible There is no use m placing further confidence m the protection supposed to be afforded by the military under its present com. mander, and SC mething must be done. The plan of a mounted police. as sue- Gested by Mir. W. J. Park, of Duncan will Tn no way conflict with the military operations; indeed they would work tremendously toGether-the citIzens to do the fighting and the troops to fol- along along in their present capacity as

THAT proposition for the editors of the Arizona newspapers to meet and settle the Apache question is intensely ironical. Why, the newspaper men have not only scalped all the hostiles already, but also the peaceful Indians, and have left terrible scars all over the United States army. The press Is unanimous in its demands that the hO-ti!es shall be exterminated-that ie, after they are captured-snd that all the ros- eryation Indians shall be dis armed and dismountet. There Is no division of sentiment on these points. The other questions involved m the In- dian problem are matters of such grave consideration that an editorial spree could scarcely Inravel the tangled threads of right, Justice, policy, envy, jealousy, cupIdity, vcnality and tn, dozen other qualities that are involved. Let us aim first at the accomplishment ol the destruction of the demons on the warpath and the disarmament of the reservation Indians, and, one by one, the other threads will become loosened until the whole question will meet with ultimate solution.

The German Infantry.
iSi. James Gazette.l

The mos. noticeable feature in the re, gently conciUded Autumn maneu,ers ol the several German army corps and div. isious Is admitted by all observers to have been the perfection to which the firing discipline of the infantry has been brought. Inc German military authOri. ties appear to have recognized, not mere ly In theory, that since the general adOp- tIOn ot rapid-iring arms of precision good aim Gnd steady shooting has be- come the main element Of success in bat tie, but to have also taken practical measures to insure that their armies shal be capable oi developing to the utmost the power of the rifle with which they are armed. In days when tbe is- sue of Hu acIIUn depended upon the sue cess of a charge iu line, the PrusSian in- iautry was trained to excel all others Tn the execution of rigid and precise move mcnts, in marching past like a wall, and in the performance of the most cOmpli- cgted maneuyers without losing touch or cohesion since the maintenance of such coht sion was one of the most es- .en;lal conditions for successful attack Now the sUme laboriOus care is bestowed upUn the training uf the troops in firing tactics. The rcsul, IS that (accOrding to tte concurrent testimony ot foreign crit .cs oi rear.y every European nation of any note as military poTer) n no other army in Europe IS the fire of the infantry kep; SO completely under con- ,rol as Il the German. Even during the most exciting phase of the late maneu vers faui everyone who has taken pEr, in military maneuv,rs knows that at times an almost incredible excitement is aroused ID the troops euEaged) the per feet control of the musketry arm was never for a moment lost or impaired The advantage which this superiority of Iis rifle discipline will ufer on the Ger man army when 1t next takes ;he field in earnest will be immense.

TIE Indianapolis Journal Is unreE- spnanly arprehensIve of the result of President Cleveland's visit to that city to attend the olsequ;es Of the late Vice President l: is foolish ID thIs country to inspire a feeling of insecurity and perhaps awaken some dormant spark of madLess m hostility to the only life be- tween our government: and Hn interreg- mum. The mere suggestion Oi such an event is liabie to awaken a train of thought in Gn cratic mind, that will pro- duce tension too strong for it's equlib- rum. and the yrry suggestion of eau ,ion may in It-elf become the incip- lent element in a national tragedy. Again the idea in free America, that any danger, other than tha. common to each of us, should menace the chief execu- tive, Is highly prep"sterous. We are not besIeyed by socialists and nihihsts, and other oppressed or dangerous elements, and our chief executive IS fully as safe under any circumstances aVay from the capital as in the White House.

Dead Mems Secrets.

Reports from Arizona say thRt t IS now thought that the Apsches who have recently broken out with fresh atrocities in southern New Mexico are not a DOT tiOn of GerOnimo's band who have been on the wsrpaih during the summer, but were members of the Apache scout bri- gade, who have been OsteLsIbly cooper ating with the troops. It was held by many observers of the campaign during the past season that these scouts were leading the troops on a wild goose chase and playing into the hands of the hos tiles. IL will also be remembered that it was more than suspected that, m his campaign in the Sierra Madre two years ago, Crook was betrayed by these scouts and Geronimo enabled to make his own | terms It seems to be G doubtful policy to pit Apache against Apache. Indians are scouts by nature and training, Ou' | common sense would seen tO indicate the propriety of consulting ancient tri- bal animOsities III choosing these auXil- isries, and using NavajOs or other here dltary enemies of the Apaches to tran them down. By that means there would be more chance of accomplishing some thing.-S. F. Call.

THE movement to unite our people ID measures of common interest is worthy ot the consideration of every resident Of Pima county. The wonder ful strength of the harmonious cooper gtlon oi community Is almost irresisti- ble in the accomplishment of a given purpose, and those public necessities that have been denied Us by individual enterprise can be easily accomplished by united efforts. IL IS not the design of the people engaged in the present movement to form a speculative or ex- perimen'al joint-stock company for the profit Of its managers, but It is their purpose to interest everyone in the plan for community prosperity. For in- stance, he erecti ID of suitable reduc- lI"n works In this city, capable of treat ing ores of ali classes and grsie-, could be conducted upon a oasis of giving to the mlner the largest possible margin of profit for hIs ores, upon cer- tain conditions of investment In the working stock of the plant of a small percentage of his cruie ores. Another plan for the maintenance O, the works has been suggested, similar in its work lngs to the tariff of the grist mill, Lut modified to value rather than quantity. At any rate the wisdom of the plans may be fully demonstrated after the works are erected, as they are the tirst essen tial In other lines of industry also, the cooperative impulse can be usefnily engaged in bringing about the employ ment of labor aud the development of our natural resources. The movement is a good one ani 1t deserves the coun- tenance and support of every person in our midst.
