Geronimos, Brother.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Geronimo, the Apache cut-throat, has a brother in San Francisco called Pixley. Pixley was the bad boy of the Chiricahua tribe, and they were compelled to banish him. He was too wicked for even the savages to endure. He would steal tiswin and keep so very drunk that he could not tell a roaring river from sand hill, and on his latest visit to Arizona he fully maintained his reputation for de- bauchery. His Indian instinct is eternal in his hcentious breast, and he cannot tell the truth under any circumstances. This is the object that keeps.i own picture seated upon corpse at the head of the columns of the Argonaut-a travesty on journalism.
 True to his murderous instincts, this inhUman monster asserts his wish that the Chiricahua hostiles could "drive the cowardly, drunken gang of Arizona cowboys, and volunteer Arizona blackguards, who are on the warpath, into an ambuscade and murder them" " He has evidently stumbled on to the wrong bottle of aquafortis and unconsciously expressed the fiend ish impulses that could only in spire such a wish. He says the Indians are unarmed when he knows that under the terms of the treaty they dictated to General Crook ir the Sierra Madres they were allowed "as prisoners of war" to retain not only their arms and ammunition, but horses and stock they had stolen and the booty they had taken from men, women and children theyhad tortured to death. The hostiles are far better armed than the soldiers are and they fight with government cartridges.
 But what is the use of wasting facts or argument upon this con- ceited ass, who has not sense enough to reason above a lizard? He has lied without fear and has thrown the insult in the face of every resident of Arizona that they will take occasion to return should they find themselves in his bloated and cowardly presence.

 ico Freight Rates.
 For the last few months a fight has been in progress between the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and St. Louis & San Francisco on the one side and the Missouri Pacific and Texas Pacific on the other, which brought freight rates be tweeen Chicago and St. Louis and Deming and Fl Paso down below actual cost. Having become tired of fighting the managers of those roads met last week and settled their differences, and yesterday or ders were issued by both the Mis- souri Pacific and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe to restore the rates between Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans, Galveston, Missouri River, and the City of Mexico, and Fl Paso and Deming. The new rates between Chicago Fl Paso and Deming are as follows: First class, S3.S5; second class, S3.50; third class, ,S2 90; fourth class,S 8. .45; fifth class S220; class A, S1.95a; class B S172R; class c, S1,30; D, S1,30.
