Tucson, May 17th.-Yesterday morning
Sheriff Paul, of this city, proceeded to Coy
ote Springs, q point near DobbS' Station
forty miles west of Tucson. on the Quiiotoa
stage road, to arrest a certain Papago Indi-
an, on a charge of malicious mischief in
filling q well sunk by Dobbs for the purpose
of supplying his station with water. Dobbs
claimed the water by location and develop
ment the Indians claiming by right of
possession but the water being outside of
the reservation, the Indians clearly have no
title thereto. Paul, accompanied by DObbs
went to the spot and arrested a Papago In
dian, handcutfed him, and was returning
with the prisoner to DobbS' Sta
ton, when the Indian seeing
favorable opportunity, attempted to
escape. As Paul overlook and seized him.
the Indian struck the Sheriff on the head
with his handouts. Paul returned the
blow with pair of shaclles he held in his
hands. intlicting a slight scalp wound. At
this armed Papagoes arrived, who took
away the prisoner and diSaTmed the ShCr-
if, but afterwards returned the latter his
arms. Information of this critical state OF
affairs reached here al a late hour last even
ing, and a small posse was hastily organ
lied, and shortly after midnight left for the
scene Of trouble. This afternoon a courier
arrived from Paul with the following mes
sage:
B. Hereford, District -1horncy: We want twenty
or twenty-five more men, to make certain
move. Twenty. five surrounded me and took my
prisoner from me, and they say they will not let
him go to Tucson. Let the men come armed
X. II. PAUL, Sheriff
The news created a profound sensation
on the streets. and numerous citizens at
once volunteered to join the posse At )
P. NJ. party of twenty-six determined men,
thoroughly armed and provisioned, set out
for DobbS Station, accompanied by tele-
graph operator provided with the necessary
instruments to dispatch messages over the
Quiiotoa line in case of any conflict Grave
fears are entertained that bloodShed Will
follow any further resistance to the author
ity OF the officers on the part of the Indians
Your correspondent was informed by the
courier who brought Paurs message that
the Indians were restless and defiant, and
that lights were burning in every hut and

EARNEST PARTIsANsHIP.

The civil service reform meeting at New
port amended the presidents phrase of ''of-
fensive partisanship" by calling it 'obtru
sive partisanship." which is. perhaps, bet
ter term, as it more accurately defines the
idea which the administration seeks to es-
tablish. The Philadelphia Times, however.
does better and gives the best expression
we have yet seen OF the kind of partisanship
that is acceptable 1t is earnest partisan
ship. The Times says: There are some
people who profess not to see the wide dis
tinction between offensive partisanship in
public officer and earnest partisanship. As
far as the president and his cabinet are
known they are about as determined a set
of partisans. in the broader sense, as could
be picked out That is TO say, they are
Democrats in principle, by education and
conviction, and in any public question in
volving a political construction they would
doubtless be found insisting upon the Demo-
cratic view-not extensively, but perhaps
obtrusively. That is the kind of PARTISAN
ship that is essential TO a healthy representa-
tive government, and it is an evidence of
how much we stand in need of it that to many
people party means no more than offices.
1t is quite in accordance with this wider
view of party obligation that most of Mr..
CLEvELAND's appointments to prominent
and responsible positions have been of
Thoroughbred Democrats. The man TO
whom party means something more than
spoils is likely to make the better officer.
But if any Of these men allow their politics
TO sway their unpolitical action or use their
official power for party ends they are that
far essentially false to the public trust re-
posed in them, and their partisanship be
comes in the worst sense offensive. The
separation of the minor appointments from
all political influence, throwing them open
to every competent applicant on equal
terms, is not merely important as practi-
cal measure of administration. Valuable
as is that reform, its greatest value is in
freeing party politics from the deadening
effect of spoils seeking, and SO giving to
earnest craftsmanship its proper responsible
ity and powers"
