SANTA FE, N. M, Sept. 19.-General
Miles, commanding the department of
the Missouri, has been in this territory
several days, looking to matters con-
nected with the recent Indian trou-
bles. He and General Bradley, local
commander here, are now in ~consulta-
ton. There are thirteen troops
of cavalry now in pursuit of a
small band Of Gsromino's lueks,
who, as stated yesterday, have killed
six men within the past week. The
country is extremely rough and pur-
suit so close that the hostiles cannot
do the damage they want to do, and
can only kill those whom they happen
to run across in their marches. Capt.
Fecht, with troops Of the 18th Cav
airy, has followed this band Eve days.
Yesterdays reports show that he has
gone to Fort Bayard for supplies, and
that pursuit is being kept up by Capt.
Farnsworth, with two troops Of the
18th Cavalry. The hostiles were yes
terday ear Mogollon Creek, in
the toughest section Of the Mogollon
mountains; three companies of infantry
are ordered from Wingate to the Pinon
mountains to guard watering places.
There are still some thirty hostiles in
Sonora. Gen. Crook has 300 scouts
after them.

THE expense of tobacco chewing
would be much smaller than it is were
it not for the vast army of tobacco
beggars. They are always begging
from the mar who chews his own to-
bacco, and are as persistent as a smoker
in want of a match. A veteran chewer
long ago adopted this plan to protect
himself He always has tobacco with
him, but the moment he gets within
speaking distance OF a cheWer he says:
Got any tobacker? Give me a chaw!"
OF course the tobacco beggar does not
beg from a man who, apparently, has
no tobacco in his pocket, and it is
twenty years since the veteran has
wasted any of his weed on his fellow
chewers.

and no trouble threatens apparently,
the soldiers mount guard over the
company's property at the different
mines every night. The Union Pacific

to put the Cinnamon back in the
mines here. 1t is building some sixty
cabins for them, and when completed
the heathens will commence work.
Officials of the road here doubt that
the Knights of Labor will interfere.
but say they will maintain their posi-
tlon In spite of them in case a strike

Where silver sands are shifting

Behold the laughing bubbles-the

BY lissome fingers tied,
O purer than the posies

No mortal hand may Gull them; they

No Arctic cold can chill them
However keen it blow,
No tropic heat can kill them,
However fierce it glow;
Their luster never withers; with gar
lands glad and free,
They grid the world with beauty-thc
blossoms of the sea.
When hostile flags are finging
Their scorn from sail to sail,
And shot and shell are winging
With death upon the gale
When gallant eyes grow brighter and
towards fain would flee
They fash in fearless nlilliOns-the
blossoms OF the sea.
And when the battles ended

And SOLEMN skies are splendid
Above tho ocean graves,
How cheerie is their shining that

How sorrowful their sobbing-the

APPEAL.

Governor Adams is just now en-
gagged in fighting the APPEAL in
the State Capitol, by keeping from
it all the official advertising that he
can.
During some years past it has
fallen in the line Of our duty to
criticize the acts of Governor
Adams. We have spoken the ex-
act truth about the man, and in
nearly every instance subsequent
facts have borne us out in our
assertions. We have no personal
quarrel with Governor Adams.
The covering Ct his person with
Gubernatorial honors is all that
entities him to mention in this
paper.
He has now undertaken to shut
the APPEAL out Of its share OF
official advertising. How solitary
Democrat in building full of Re
publicans, can take patronage
away from a Republican organ Or III
any way control the action of Re
publican officials, remains to be
seen.
He argues that papers should work
cheaper, and affects to be protect
ing the taxpayers. He should bear
in mind that he cannot regulate
the prices of advertising to a dol
lar a square az he reduced the
wages to a dollar a day in his mine
in Eastern Nevada, and if he wants
to see more money in the State
Treasury. he might set the ex-
ample by setting higher valua-
ton on his cattle droves next Fall
when the Assessor calls around, or
look with greater scrutiny after the
meat contracts.
Straining at gnat and swallow
ing camel was never more ridicu-
lousy exemplifed than in the case
of man who, having drawn fat
salary from the State for nearly
twelve years for doing little or
nothing, kicks up an economical
row, because the charge Of pub
fishing the money count Exactly |
in accordance with law was, in his
opinion, two dollars and half too
high.
The facts Of the case are that
the APPEAL for some years past
has not been exactly yellow rose
in the Governors button-hole.
It has in the interests of the
people Of this State and the Repub-
lican party Of Nevada, shown up
his hollowness and shallowness, his
ignorance and incompetency,
his trickery and his insin-
cerity, until, politically, he is
an unpicturesque old ruin. the
scorn Of his own party and the
scott of both.
He has threatened to take away
The APPEAL share of State adver-
Using and now we are anxious to
see which Republican official will
20 over and help him do it.
