DIED OF RED TAPE.

It will be interesting to see whether the military will take off, cial cognizance of the soldiers kill ed in Guadalupe canyon. General Pope and his dude brother officers would probably like to report that they died from natural causes" !" too much grub, or something of that sort. Why not be honest about it and say they died from too much red tape? All our cities are filled with brass buttoned officers and soldiers, wasting their lives in idle ness. Arizona and New Mexico are to-day the only places in the United States where the military are needed, why not send them all here and do short work with the red devils? We need Bismarck in these United States-a man of action, strong enough to shoulder the whole responsibility and who

COLLECTING DEBTS IN MEXICO

Under the Mexican law a cred itor can have a debtor arrested on the day the debt is due. The pris- oner is chained to post five days guarded by an officer. At the end of that time if the money is not forthcoming, the mans labor is sold to the government for forty cents day for as many as will be necessary to discharge the obli- gation. The miserable debtor is sent to the silver mines, where he is chained to a gang of felons and compelled to work underground, and never sees daylight again un- til he is restored to freedom.-Ex.

SoLoMoNv1LLE corresponden

A SoLoMoNvILLE correspondent in the Clifton Clarion has the fol- lowing to say in regard to the re- cent Indian trouble:
 "The great question of the day is the Indian war. but we do not get news enough, and what we do get is sad in the extreme, such as the Indians killed so many here and so many there; but we don't hear what the troops have done, only 'they are in hot pursuit, two hours behind" They don't cap ture them, however, for the Indian will travel 130 miles in two days, as per report of General Crook, whereas the troops will march fif- teen miles day, if they are ''go- ing to the war;" Three years ago the troops from Fort Wingate to Camp Apache made from twelve to fifteen miles a day, but when the war was oVer," they made St. Johns, a distance of seventy miles, in two days, and were on the march next morning before runrise."

BISHOP N. J. FLAKE. a member

BISHOP w. J. FLAKE, a member of the Mormon church, who plead guilty to unlawful cohabitation, at the last term of the court and was sentenced to six months imprison- ment at Yuma, passed through Prescott en route to his home at St. Johns. He reports that the many Mormons at present confined at Yuma complain bitterly of the manner in which their families are permitted to suffer for the neces- saries of life by the dignitaries of the Church during their imprison- ment-after each of the imprison- ed men has for many years regu- larly paid ten per cent of their earnings, as tithes, into the Church's treasury.-Prescott Miner.

\ GREAT many of the polvgs

A GREAT many of the polyga- mists who are being incarcerated for their beastly practices and who are unable provide their families with the necessities of life during their term of imprisonment, will have an excellent opportunity to real ize the "true inwardness" of the tithing system employed by the leaders of the church, to furnish themselves with the necessary means to carry on their icentious debauch- cries. These grasping extortion- ists, who have absorbed the greater part of their poor dupes earnings for years, will not have a "revela- ton" bidding them hasten to the relief of the destitute families of their victims.

He talked himself into the belief that all the world except himself had become cor rupt, and he set himself to work to build over the world on his own plan. It was too much of a task and he retired from public notice aud gave the country q much needed rest. We can not under stand why he has been called from

WILL THE MoRMoNs EMIeRATE9

AS only about 10000 of the 40, 900 Mormons of Utah are polyga- mists, it is hardly probable that a majority would follow President Taylor to Mexico, should the au- thorities ot the Mormon Church de- eide to abandon the temple in Salt Lake City; but the case is desper- ate, and Latter-day Saints who are compelled to choose between a prison and flight are likely to choose the latter. It is reported that a son of Brigham Young is trying to induce Eastern capitalists to organize syndicate to buy out the Mormons of Salt Lake City, but if the Edmunds law is vigorous ly enforced polygamous Mormons may be induced to fly from the country without waiting to sell their property. Itwould be bless ing to the nation to have the offen- sive 10000 expelled, and although their infiction upon Mexico would be great calamity, we ought not to relax the efforts which are fore ing them to a decision either to abandon polygamy, go to prison or fly from the jurisdiction of the United States.-N.

THE ANCIENT CITY.

santa Re, unmlnQIuI OI the voice of the scoffer and the jeers of
 silly aspirants for supremacy, in
 all that makes a city notable,
 reigns as grandly above her would
 be defamers to-day as at any time
 since the iron lines of transit dot
 ted the Territory of New Mexico
 with towns, villages and cities, or
 as it did above the ordinary ham,
 let before the voice of the loco
 motive was heard in the land. Commerce is no longer her sover- eign, king or ruler, those days are numbered with the past. Ever suc- cessful, during the centuries her people devoted themselves to adven- turous enterprises in tEe worlds traffic, and in efforts of accumula- ton of wealth; gaining wisdom by long and varied experience, always the centre of knowledge in matters of church and state, she is prepared and can we'll afford to devote, to the coming generation, her time in the cultivation of the beautiful in art, and the dissemin- ation of knowledge among man. kind.
 Retired from the busy scenes of trade and commerce, the beautiful "cuidad de Santa Fe de San Fran cisco" will in future be known and recognized as the repository of all that is sublime in nature, divine in art and glorious in it's exalted intelligence. Her College halls and Academic groves will furnish the future scholar of the great southwest as teachers and mission aries of good throughout the land. In her grand capitol, representa- tives of a great state will meet in daily session at certain seasons to determine questions that shall be for the greatest good for the great est number. Her gymnasia for the development of the physical man will attain wide popularity because of their location in the purest atmosphere and most favor ed climate on the globe. The towers of her grand cathedral will vie with the surrounding hills in hailing the approach of day, and the deep valleys will repeat the anthems sung by the masses to the praise of the coming of the god of day. It's future will have it's re- sponsibility as we'll as it's glory, but as in the past it fulfilled it's destiny, so in the future we have faith that it will not fail.
 Rome was not made in a day, can these things be done without great labor; but as time rolls on these predictions will be- come manifestations, and the glory of Santa Fe, the CI-cUI-GI of five centuries ago will be established and remain with her until evolu- tion shall resolve it into the tra- ditional or bury it with the dead past.

Thousands of acres of desert land would be reclaimed by irrigating canals, and thousands of husband men and their families would come here and build up homes. The idea that this territory contains only a small per cent of agricultural lands would be exploded and farming would become even 8 greater factor in our prosperity than is mining to- day.-Florence Enterprise.
