TIE Tombstone Record-Epitarh goes of on a tangent in attempting a reply to a short editorial paragraph from tbe CITIZEN upon the situation ot affairs ID that city as gathered from its news papers. The expressions vented by that paper in denunciation of Gov. Tu;ie and Gen. Crook were unworthy of even frontier journalism. and that IS giving 1t a great length of rope. If the Record Epitsph has trutbfully recorded the affair, Governor Tritle WAS certainly ln- suited by a mob, for nothing short of mob would be guilty of such disgrace full conduct. To that papers charge that the CITIZEN alternately condemns and apolcgIzes for Gen. Crook, 1t Is hardly necessary to reply. We have held but one consistent and steadfast opinion concerning his actions since he made that unholy compact to save his lie m the Sierra Madres, and We have not besistated to express 1T, bat We do not care to indulge in coarse biilIHgsEate abuse, winch. though m no sense IS termed argument, seems to he the special accomplishment. of the Record Epitaph.

TIE Chicago Herald has issued an edition dated September 2G:h. l9S5-one hundred years hence-in which 1t face tiously anticipates the news as IL will then transpire. Very many extrayagant imagiuIugs are to bg found n i:s col umns intending to show the strides of progress made in the twentieth century, together with humorous allusions to events of the present time. Mayor Car ter Harrison IS still Chicago's munich pal executive; the transportation about the world is done by means of aerial ma chimes with electric motors; France ls enioving her seventh republic; Ger many is striving for mon archy to replace her communistlc and nihilistic chaos; the Boston people celebrate the anniversary of the death of John l.. Sullivan: the Chicago Her nd has an office buIldIng twenty-six stories high and three blocks square, and very many equally extravsgant and absurd matters of news. Yet withal this burlesque, the ratio of the progress for the past one hundred years, II maintained during the century to come, will mark at its close an advanced condition of affairs far beyond all the widest conception of wonderful achieve meut possible to the human mind to- day. Very many achievements of science now familiar to every one, were consld- cred impcssibiliiies only 8 score of wears ago. snd the field for further progress IS practically unlimited, until mans intellect shall have reached that degree of perfection when time aud snace are annihIlated.

THERE is sIeck of Indian war vlsi- ble in New Mexico, n an unexpected quarter. The high spirited and resent ful Navajos, a powerful and intelligent tribe, noted for many accomplishments, ingenuity and personal bravery, have evidently scented the blood being shed by the Apache hostiles, and their lurk- ing instincts of savagery have been aroused. They have resented the efforts of the officers of the law to arrest mem- bers Of the tribe detected in crime, and have placed themselves in such an attl- tude towards the authorities that war or humble submission becomes imperative. It is hardly to be expected that the h. dians will recede from the position they have assumed, and the dignity of the law cannot be maintained unless they do so; therefore the outlook for a disruption IS quite apparent. The presence of large force of troops may check the growing feeling of hostility and avert collision that would prove p-otacted and ce- structive 10 life and property on both sides. It is to be hoped that a ccncilia- tion may be effected.

THERE IS striking propriety in the removal of the Instructions from Hell Gate, so close to she city of Gotham. Beecher had told tine sinners Of New York and Brooklyn that hell Is myth, and rather than remain in doubt upon subject of such profound importance and one tha. so closely concerns them, the people have forced an entrance, as much as to signify that there were some folk who preferred to associate with the dwellers in the cavernous and sul- phurous depths than In that wicked city.

AMONG the telegrams published by tbe metropolitan press is a special from
 Washington to the New York Mail and Express, dated October 9th. which re- cites that "piivate information has heep received in Washington that shows be- yond question that the Apache scouts who were employed by General Crook are leading the soldiers on a wild goose chase and affording Geronimo every on. portunity to visit the reservation which he deserted, to supply himself with women, bucks and ammunition" A DOT ton of the above charges Is believed to closely approach the truth. It unreg- sonable to suppose that the near kin dred of the raiding hostiles will prove effective in hunting down their brothers and cousins. Their cunning hypocrisy may inspire a belief in General Crook that they would rather kill their OWE ac- complices in crime than while men. but they arc strongly suspected uf showing zeal ID the cause of the military to better warn and protect their erring brothers, aud to replenish their exhaust cd supplies. The conclusion Is not new one that even the scouts themselves are responsible for the murder Of some ofthe whites. Small detachments of tbem have been seer, far removed from the wstchful eye of white officer, and the opportunity to murder white men has undoubtedly been improved by them. There are plenty ot equally good fight ing material and trailers among otho+ tribes that are hereditary enemies cf the Apaches, and they would rejoice in an opportunity to hunt the hostiles. The Papagoes, Pimas, Maricopas, Yumas, MohRves, and others possess far more personal bravery than the Apaches. The Chiricahua Apaches are the most srrant towards, and they swoop down upon isolated settlers whom they can surprise, and never attack a number of armed people unless they have very gre6t advantage. The commanding general, however, ought to be the best judge of the maternal he requires for scouts, as the responsibilities of the campaign all rest with hun, and its fail ure will carry disgrace and Ignominy only to himself, and while Vt do not feel competent to question his action in this regard, we must confess that ap- pearances go far to confirm the correct ness of the telegram above referred to.

The NaNaies Defiant.

A telegl am from Gallup, New Mexico, t. the AlJuquerque Journal gives the
 following particulars CT the iHcipisnt troubles with the Navajo tribe of h.
 dians:
 While D Warren, from southern Kan
 sas, with one thousand head of cattle
 for HolbroOk, was passing near Deli ance, he had several head of ms stOck1
 stolen by Indians. An Indian was
 pointed out to him by parties wnO said
 they found where he killed some of the
 stock that he had stolen. Warren re-
 ported the matter to edpUty sheriff Ma
 loney, who enticed the Indian tO town,
 where he was arrested. During the
 scuffie an Indian became much excited. and ran about calling and signaling other Indians to the rescue of the prls- oner, who was being guarded by Malon- ey and T. Dye. Everything remained quiet until about B o'clock. when band of eight or ten mounted Indians calue
 rushing into town. They halted before
 Captain Smiths, and before the deputy
 could get his gun the Indian wBs in the
 street being helped on 6 horse by two
 of his companions, who also quickly
 mounted. One of the Indians drew
 bead on Maloney who snatched a gun from bystander and fired two shots at them as they were making of. one of the
 shots taking effect. The party then
 left the town Tn great haste. firing at any one who happened on the streets. Before the escape of the prisoner MT. Warren left for Defiance, accompanied by sn Indian. When mile or two from town he was Overtakcn by five or six Indians, who, he thinks would have killed him bad 1t not been for the h.
 dIsn with him. After leaving him a part of them vent tn the house of Frank Reitz, ranchman, where he last saw them. A party in from the ranch say 8 the doOr has been battered down with an ax, and three guns, a saddle and several other things stolen. This IS also attributed to the Indians. Quite a number of citizens expect an attack to- night and are in the suburbs on guard.

The Chlca-o Railwa Age, in its issue of October l. shows that the number of new railroads proposed and in progress during the last nine months has been 626, with total mileage of 24 1893. From this record i, argues that "a sur prising awakening of activity m regard to railway building has become evident" But the activity seems to be mainly in the projecting of railways on paper, for the actual construction of roads has been less this year thus far than in any other year since 1878. only about l 100 miles having been built, against over 2,6OO tO the same date last year, and about 7,3O0 to the same date in 1882.
