IF reports be true, and some of them certainly bear the impress of truth, our sister county If Cochise is passing a11er the rod of Indian sflictIon that oHugs to it the sympathies of the entire territory. It seems to be literally over run with hostile Indians, who are mak- --S their way leisurely towards the Mex -'4a boundary hne. From the numbers ala position of the ssvages 1t seems piain that the demonstration towards the b-ack Range was but a piece of Indian Strategy that was pregnant with suc- 0e7s' aud it gave the great body ot hos u'e Indians Rn almost open field to march down to Mexico. The presence oI troops in the mountain passes on the border and near the New Mexican hne' AAs forced the Indians to seek an ext further to the west, and, through the lg- uofance of their whereabouts and num- Oe's by the military, they now find no armed resistance to their progress and incident bloodshed, and will reach the soA Of Mexico through more densely settled route, where their trail will flow ueeper with human gore. So far, the troops have not killed or even wounded 1h Indian, and the only military casual 'e' were the murder of the five soillers whom the Indians surprised at ,ner dinner on Wednesday noon. What a record!

THE ARMY IN ARIZONA

We are indebted to an officer of the United States army for a report of Gen. erai Crook, without date, but presuma- ably written at the close of last year. The General sums up his views on the treatment of the Indians in few words. He says:
 Years of practical experience with the savage, under all possible circumstapces have merely confirmed my theories formed and followed in my earlier ser vice. The Indian will never cease to be nulsance and a terror until he be en- tranchised, but it Is not inst to endow nm with the ballot until he be compe. tent to hold his land in seyeralty and he taught how to utilize it for his own sup port.
 There IS the trouble aboat our army officers; they write the most beautiful reports, full of the loftiest sentiments, but when they are sent into the field one Indian seems to be equal to a dozen white troops. Here is this very General Crook, with seventeen full companies ot troops, probably not much less than lOOO men, yet he dosen't seem to be able to catch seventy Chiricahua bucks, though they have killed anywhere from thirty to sixty white settlers. Our troops are well mounted, well fed. and well armed. They control the roads, and the settlers are ready tc cooperate with them. The Indians are bad iy mounted; they have no means of obtaining food or ammunition except by raiding ranches; they know that every one they meet is their enemy. ready to put the hunters on their track, yet they somehow elude pursuit How IS this! Can the General of the army and the Secretary of War justify such management as this by saying that Gen. Crook writes admirable reports?
 While General Crook was about 1t he might as well have explained bis extra ordinary treatment two years ago of GerOnIm", the murderer of Judge and Mrs. McComas, and the abiuctor of of their little boy. Instead of trying this red-handed murderer, and hanging him 10 the tallest limb of the tallest tree in Arizona, the General took him back to the reservation; and be now compla- gently observes that he and his chum CnattO ''hsve made the greatest progress, and possess the best titled farms" We don't know about the farm, but We can quite understand the progress. Geroni- mo has certainly made pEogre ess-in the line of outrage and murder. lie has lifted more scalps on this raid than he did on the former one. We think it about time for the War Department to try httle progress-in the direction of sending to Arizona General with less sentiment and Dore energy than General George Crook F. Chronicle.

HIs energy iss GaalIty yet to be displayed in ArIzo- ta where the movements of the military have been marked with the most exas ts-ating lethargy.

 l. Ar the mass meeting on Saturday night one of the speakers went out of his way to deDounce the newspaper men in the language of Gen. Pope. as "irre- sponsible scribblers" for publishing a current report that the movement to send one of the Pioneers to Washington as special delegate to impl re relief from the Indian curse, was a scheme to give some Rspirsnt for federal appoint ment an opportunity to plead his own cause. The gentlemsn's assertion that this suspicion originated solely in the imagination of the irresponsible scrib- blers," was incorrect, for 1t had been the current talk upon the streets for several days, and more than one Pioneer, sl- though not members of the society, perhaps, had advanced the suspicion. The CITIZEN expressed its disbelief, in toto, of eves the remotest possibility of such thing; it simple discussed, and properly too. a current report, and the speakers aspersiODs were a wholly un- necessary piece of claptrap.

 GEN. CROOK has forfeited his reputa- ton ss a soldier, and it is proven out of the words of his own mouth. Two years ago, upon his escape from the Sierra Madres, Gen. Crook was rendered a banquet in Tucson. Our people, in theIr implicit belief in his reported vic tory, showered honors and fayors upon him without stint. Iu acknowledging the compliments gwen him, General Crook took occasion 10 say that the hos tile IudlGns would be taken to the res ervation where they would be held by the military. The military would be responsible for their future conduct, and that he "sTAKED HIS EEPUATIoS THAT THEY WOULD NEVER AGAIN GO ON THE wARPATH." Dozens of people who heard this remarkable statement by Gen. Crook stand ready to testify that 1t was bis free, voluntary and unsolicited wager. He has lost the game and with it his reputation. .--

Enforcing Inv.

To the Editor OF the Sentinel:
SIR-The Metropolitan Police Board gave
what seems to me to have been a superhuous
order, viz: THAT ell the laws be enforced
The board Is not legislative body. 1t can
not discriminate as to what laws should be
enforced, and direction to enforce all laws
would seem to imply that there are some
that have not been enforced. The construc-
ton put upon this expression of sentiment
by portion Of the city press is that the
meaning of the board is that their declara-
ton is not to be viewed generally, but ia in.
tended to be strike only at saloon keepers,
and as they are now made the scapegosts for
the attacks OF small-fry politicians, who are
never happy unless they are pushing LIQUOR
into politics, the police to please this class
rush in and arrest bar-tenders and saloon
owners. 1t is great moral question, this:
Shall man sell liquor five minutes after IL
O'Clock at night? 1t is far more important
according to some critics, that he should sell
this liquor Just a few minutes before the
hour named, and the cause of tenn perance is
Inuch benefited by it. / can not see wherein
The morals OF community are benefited by
splitting hairs On these technical questions
affecting the time man swallows his LIQUID
damnation, While the guardians of our
property and our rights and privileges are
engaged IN this business of arresting persons
for technical violations of law, allow me TO
call their attention TO constant vibrations Of
law that are not affected by matters of Sec
onds, minutes or hours, but apply to every
twenty-four hours of the day. On Meridian
street the express companies blockade the
street and sidewalk fronting the Union De.
pot all the time with trucks, barrels, kegs,
boxes, etc, and one square further south a
concern engaged in the handling of talIow
and hides use the sidewalks, on both Me-
ridian and South streets, as a permanent
warehouse tor storing barrels OF taIlow, so
that lady can not pass by without soiling
her dress. All of which is in direct viola
ton of city ordinances which the police has
sworn to see enforced. Let us have all the
law enforced. A. n. B.

ENORMOUS PROFITS.

very bad memory serves good part to
some people. 1t requires a very shrewd
lawyer to meet the requirements of witness.
rs with treecherous memories. After very
bad memory, for utility under certain cir
cumstances, comes the convenient memory
one that can remember or not. as the exc
gencies of the occasion demand. Such an
one seems to be in the possession of Mr.. c.
2. Huntington. The New York Herald gives
as an example of Mr.. Huntingdon forgetful-
ness that when on the witness stand last
Wednesday, he could not state within $780,
600, 600 what were his profits in the Central
Pacific. He admitted finally that they were
less than 5000, 600. The Herald declares
that his share of the profits was in the neigh
borhood of SAL ,O00,0 1t reasons thus.
There were four in the syndicate, of which
Mr.. Huntington was one. This syndicate
put into the road $1,000 900. They have
drawn already "$165. 900, 600 in stocks, bonds,
dividends and similar forms, and from the
other enterprises to which the Central Pa
clfc served as stepping stone this syndi.
cate hopes to bag another S165, 600, 900
profits"
If Mr.. Huntington was entitled to one
fourth Of the profits, he drew more than S4l,.
100000. Such gigantic operations were never
possible until the Republican party began
to shape the legislation Of the country. We
merely refer to this to sooths the feelings of
certain reputable members of the Rspubli-
can party who may perchancs continue to
mourn over the November defeat of the
grand old party"

THE TWO REOORDS

Governor Gray has made a record in favor OF the
violation OF the law. Ii will return 10 plague him
before the expiration of his term of office.-Jour
nal.
Governor Porter's record was not simply
''ie faror of the violation of the law" but
one that absolutely violated it. 1t has re-
turned to plague him at the expiration of his
term of Office. The law made it obligatory
upon him to investigate the condition of the
State Treasury. He was in official position
to pursue this plain provision of the law,
and absolutely never made an attempt in
the direction indicated. At the end of his
term of Office, with his party broken and
demoralized, when necessary to garner party
capital for future Campaigns, he suggests to
the Legislature that the State Treasury needs
looking into, and thus lift the load from
him, and force Others, if possible, to perform
