NEW YORK started out to build a big
monument TO Grant, but after the first
few days the interest dropped and only
about $4,000 Of the amount has yet been
subscribed. This monument business
seems to be in the hands OF men of mon
umental cheek, and they get a chance
to handle money not their own for an
indefinite period.

PLANrERs. whose lease of convict labor
Is about to expire, have been before the
Penitentiary board this week TO see
about renewal of leases. There was
some little anxiety expressed as to pro-
liability of renewal, owing to the prior
claims Of the Capital syndicate. 1t
appears, however, that the board favors
the Withdrawing Of convict labor from
the railway lines rather than from the
plantations, in which case there will he
no difficulties about planters leases.
Convict escapes are not so frequent from
plantations ms from railroad lines, which
probably accounts for the preference Of
the board for plantation leases.

OS Saturday evening, under the Gus- pices of the society of Arizona Pioneers
 there will be a mass meeting held iI this city tU take necessary steps in the matter of bringing the Indian ques- ton at once before the proper gov ernmentsl department for adjustment
 There Is some difference of opinion re. gsrding the wisdom of sending a per son to Washington to personally explain the true state of affair in Arizona, but if the meeting concludes to adopt such a course the selection of n proper per son for that responsible trust is of the greatest importance. Not only should he be conversant with the facts and fig ures, but he should be possessed of an earnest and persuasive manner that will carry a weight of conviction and de- mand proper consideration. Among the many names suggested-and they are generally good ones-there is none better qualified nor more available than the Hon. Hiram $. Stevens. He IS Il man of deeds rather than words, and as the accredited representative of the sui tering people of Arizona, he would be accorded a respectful hearing, and seek by his earnest and eloquent words to fully impress upon the authorities the necessity for prompt and decisive action in the matter. Indeed, there IS no occasion for invldiousness to say that NIT. Stevens is pre-eminently the man for this important mission, and the meeting will show its wisdom in selecting him.

The Indian Question.

The Rev. Dr. Wills rather electrified his hearers on Sunday evening by de- clarlDg that the ApHches must have a gospel, not a gospel that will get the in- dians out of hell, but a gospel that will get hell out of the Indians" We pre- sume that what the reverend gentleman meant was that the Indians must be taught that murder, rape, robbery and arson are hellIsh crimes, not by any means to be practiced. In this every one will agree with him. But 1t is to be regretted he did not explain how he proposed to teach the valuable lesson he suggested.
 We have spent 6 good deal of money and employed good many able men ID tryIng to teach this lesson by means of kindness; by setting apart for the exclu- i've use of the Indians the most fertile portion of Arizona; by feeding and clothing bucks, women and children; by maintaining an army for their protection; by treating them so generously that, ID Dr. Wills own language, there are thousands of poor whites who would be glad to change places with the Indians" Blu. they have proved such inapt schol- ars that every two or three years they give us the most convincing evidence that they have not learned the lesson. Is 1t not time to inquire whether there IS not something faulty m our system?
 Suppose We try, just for an eIperi- meDt, to treat these Chiricahuas as We would treat a white man. When they commit murder, suppose We hunt them down, catch them, try them, and If they are found guilty, hang them, instead of contenting ourselves with sending them back to their reservation and treating them to ga gospel of peace" Might thls plan not work better than the old one? Mightit not pay to commit the pursuit of the Chiricahuas to officers who would put their souls in the work and would show more snimosity 10 h. dIan marsuders than to American set tiers?
 As to the pretense that the seventeen companies of soldiers. under General Crook. cannot capture seventy Indian bucks, that must surely be an excuse for lukevRrmness. If the mur1erers of Geronimo's late victims had been white men, they would have been caught long ago. Here was a man who mur- dered foreigner the other day in St Louis. and the State of Missouri has sent detectives half way round the world to bring him back to St Lotus to be tried for bis life. Cannot some thing like this energy be infused into our pursuit of the ChiricahuRs ?-S. F. Chronicle.

The SocIety of Arizona Pioneers is moving 10 the matter of the Apache outrages in the territory. It is prOpos- ed to have B series of mass meetings all over Arizona on the 18th of June with view to concert of action.

Cleveland of the act ual state of things Tn the sun-kissed cline The demonstration proposed cannot fail to be SD impressive one and 1t will be worth all the vaporings of Gen. Pope.

WHILE there seems to be great di- versIty of opinion as to the final dlspO- sition of the raiding Apsches, there Is but one sentiment regarding the neces- sity for a radical change in the Indian policy in ArIzona. The military have shown themselves inadequate to the task of subduing their murderous i'm pulses, and the Indian department are afraid of their disturbing influence on the reservation. It IS useless to talk of sending them to the Indian Territory, because the corsent of the Indians now occupying that Territory IS as essential as 1t IS impossible to obtain. The sug- gestion of colonizlng them on some iso- lated island, is an expensive and experl- mental plan, but Is less Impracticaole than some others of the ideas offered Beyond all this, however, there IS one important fact that has been apparently overlooked in the plans for the future of the hostlles-we have not yet captured them, and it Is highly improbable that they ever will be taken. Should they however, through some inscrntsble in- terposition of Providence, again fall into the hands of our invincible army, and still live. there is a current of determin- ation among the people of Arizona and New Mexico, running strong enough to remove the question oi their disposition beyond the neces- sity of consideration. The rsidlng Indians have sealed their fate and henceforth they will receive no mercy at the hands of the whites.

GEN. CROOK telegraphs his incompe- tency to the department commander. He takes 1t for granted that a handful of Mexican troops will whip the Indians back into the United States and that a scene of bloodshed and rapine will follow that will send up such a vail as never was heard. If the dignified baby would quit his blubbering and lIne the border with troops that do not consider 1t beneath their dignity" to fight Indians, he Eight possibly prevent such catas trophe. So far his campaign sgsInst the hostiles has been one of brilliant stu pIdity. It has been conducted entirely with view to protect the Indians and afford them opportunity to plunder and to escape safely into Mexico with their booty. Modern military science would have caused signal stations at promin- ent points, whereby information of the course, numbers and condition Of the Indians could be obtained and a deci- sive blow could be struck somewhere along their crimson pilgrimage. The hostiles sent a few of their number to make feint toward the Black Range, and the troops went numbering after them, forty eight hours behind The main band. in the meantime took more direct route, and leIsurely made their way toward the Sierra Madres. In s,rat- egy they are head and shoulders above our mililsry,and in point of activity, en- dursnce, cunning and bravery,th com, mend themselves to the admiration of even their deadliest foes. Again we urge the propriety of putting Chief Crook and his tribe on the reservation and having them safely guarded by Gen. ersl Geronimo and his invIncible sol diers.

TIE present crisis in the political af- fairs of Great Britain may lead to more serious results than many suppose. The rupture with Russia stlll presents some malignant symptoms; the SOudan dIs- asters have not been retrieved; there are mutterings of discomfort in its North American provinces, and Ireland only awaits favorable opportunity to twist its shillalah and jump into an awkward melee when it can do England the most harm. These ominous clouds. hang gloomily about the horizon of England's glory, awaiting only breeze of discon- tent to float the storm cloud over the sunny isle. If the new ministry prove wise in their counsels, they may, on the other hand, restore the brilliant pres tige of Great Britain, and strengthen Its political power.

The Indians

Special to the CITIZEN.
 DKMISG, N. M, June 6-The band of Indians that the cowboys struck in Stein's pass last night, evaded the sol diers in Doubtful canon and crossed the railroad track this morning, about five o'clock. The trail was taken up and followed by the party of cowboys and a troop of cavalry. Also troop of caval- " and the Indian scouts left Sepsr at five o'clock @. m-, for the purpose, if possible, to cut their trail ahead. Three companies of troops are scouting on the Mexican line south, in the neighborhood of the mountain passes to the Sierra Madres. The hostiles must be in close quarters; twenty-two of their ponies have been abandoned and picked up by the pursuers, also what little baggage they carried-blankets and dried beef, was abandoned. The pspoose captured by the cowboys last night has been sent to Duncan as a trophy and for the reward of two hundred dollars which the territory of Arizona offers for all Indians captured off the reservation.
 In the swissheIms and Going south. Special to the CITIZEN.
 TOMBSTONE, June S-News is received of a reliable character that four cowboys who came through Stein's pass at II o'clock last night, reported to be on the trail of band of Indians, but they lost it and had to return on account of their horses being exhausted. The Indians came to Scott Whites ranch, ten miles from San Simon, and run off lot of horses and beef cattle. Several respon- sible parties bring Tn news of Indians being seen at four this morning Tn the Swisshelms. Daniels, the well known frontiersman and captor of the Bisbee murderers, on coming in from Bisbee this morning found trail of ponies and a few moccasIn tracks across the road about twenty-five miles from here, going south.

The damage they have done, actual and con sequential, aside from the murders com mitted, will aggregate millions of dol lars, whilst the sum of all their disbolI cal deeds is beyond computation in dol lars and cents. They have departed and the country Is again safe and ready to take up its march of progress and pros narifr
