been left, but also other property
that was in the saddle pockets at the
time it was taken. At hearing on
Monday before Justice Lujan, this

Mr.. r. Morton, of 4S5 WilIo lghby
Avenue, Brooklyn, n. Y, writes to
the postmaster at this place to know
what chance there is in this country
for man without capital to 90 into
the cattle business. As this letter
was handed to an ERA rustler for
reply, it gives us pleasure to state
that although the great absorbing
southwest is always open, like the
mouth of a gnnny sack, to receive
active, energetic, temperate young
men from the east, yet to one who
knows nothing of the manners and
customs of the people here, and tho
hardships and exposures to be en-
countered, and who comes with the
idea that all that is necessary to
become full Aedged cattleman is to
talk slang and profanity, wear an
arsenal belted around him for con-
slant use and live on baked clans and
champagne, there is about as much
chance OF his succeeding as if he
attempted to build a bridge be-
tween New York and Brooklyn with
toy balloons.

 It takes the truth of history to bring
 the joke out in bold and irresistible re-
 lief. A qlarter Of a century ago there
 was grave doubt about the perpctuatlon
 of the Union. Why, because of the dcs.
 perete attempt Of Democrats 10 sor,e
 'a full and complete recognition of Dem.
 ocratic principles upon the country.
 The patiOtic, level headed American peo- pie were SO sterrly and uualteraUly op-
 posed to such e recognition that they
 went to War to prevent 1t. They did
 prevent it; the Union was reserved.
 Democratic principles dId not receive
 full and complets recognition. They
 dlds receive n tremendous setback some Of them, indeed, were fatally in-
 iured. Democracy does not pretend
 that 1t Is not now the same in substance
 as 1t was when II acted as the minority
 ot the rebellion. Ii is doIng business at the old stand with the old principles.
 And Mir. Carlisle tells his brother Demo-
 crats that If there is not a full and con- Plete recognition Of those principles all that is left of them-the American Union must go. We rise to e question of privilege, and confidently challenge the admirers Of Mr. Cox to produce from bis speeches more potent appeal to one's disabilities. We can imagine one thing funnier-just one. + the Prodigul Son on his return home had taken his father hslue ana remarked, 'olro ID my Iudg- ment, full and complete recognition Of my principles as illustrated in ny career is essential, not only to the preservation Of the rights of yourself and my brother, but also to the pcrnetuation of the fam I!y circle'-tbat perhaps would have been fUnnic- than the speakers great ef- ' fort. We venture to add Eonl Of Ed- vice to Mr. Carlisle: IT you are deter mined, dear sir, to supplement your other laurels with those of s humorist, by all means be funny.

 THERE Is a growing sentiment among our people looking to the discourage ment Of the very repreheusitlc practice Of sending abroad for a5;Ia..s cf mcr- chaudise that can be obtained from nisr- chants and dealers at home.

This axiom needs no demonstration. The primer pie IS the foundation of commerce and our commercial interests measure the length and breadth of the prosperity of @ community. We must help one En- other, not in the sense Of aims giving, but to retaln in our midst the greatest possible accumulation of wealth-a con- dition that affects every resident, be be employer or employed. We hope this question will be thoroughly agitated and understood, until our people think it tantamount to crime to send abroad for any article that can be procured at n reasonable cost at home, be 1t merchan- disc. products of the ranch and soil, shop. printing office, laboratory CT pro- fessiOnai talent.

IHRoUGH the energetic efforts of NIT. larnell and his uble cosdjutors, together With favoring circumstances and the Tlausible justice of theIr demands, the people of Ireland are in fair way to be accorded the privilege of home rule, after the form of the Dominion Of Can ada. This is indeed a great achieve ment in the dire ,tion of that condition t1 which the Irish people have so long .ahored and inspired. With cool heads and consummate diplomacy that unhap- Ey country has now its opportunity %. acquiring such favorable coDcas- siors that will place 1t but Ht- i.e short Of a condition of act nal independence.

THERE is qgi:e Q little shadow o'
 trouble visible on the San Pedro through
 the land difficulty between Es-kjm-in- gin, the reformed" Apache Indian, who has recently reuouuced his tribal rela- tions and filed upon Covcrument land ID
 that valley. and a settler who. i: is al- legged, anticipated him in the entry upon a portion of the property claimed hy th,
 Indian. Some oi .he white settlers fear that blcodshod will result from any at tempt to disposscss Es-Eim in-zin, and that the cx-warr:or has already made suitable preparations for such an occur renee, so far As arms. ammunition and IndIan allies are concerned. The viciu- ity of Dudlcyville ;s therefore rife with alarming rumors, hut go far no open demonstrations have been observed. This is a case where an ounce of Vrevcu- ton may be worth more than tons of cure. The Indian claims that an at- tempt is being made to wrong him end to deprive him Ot portion O. the lands that be Las occupied, through his iEuor- auce Of the laws governing the scqmre- ment of title, and the settler naturally invokes the aid of tue law to protect the interests he has ob.sinei under the United States laws. 4 complete and paaceable investigation If the matter might suggest an easy solution Of the trouble. and it the Indian has lost his legal right to the property claimed by the settler through his lack Of all knov!- edge of the workings Of :Le law, l; will be far better and cheaper for the gov ernment to indemnify the settler in satisfactory sum, and avoid any unpleas- ant complications. Thls would amount to an exact measure of justice ia which every fair minded person could Gcquiesce, and 1t would avert all danger of dis astrous collision.

those who shall give it careful examina- ton to determine the extent Of the laws violation and our Territory's injury, and also to the United States.
 The sum oftwo thousand and forty dollars was appropriated and paid by the Territory for payment of members for the time they were not organized after assembling. We question She legality of this.
 The present Territorial auditor has | heretofore prevented this payment for extra compensation uy refusing to audit the bills. This time ke failed to do SO. If it was legal the members showed their extravaganza in the use of pablic money by voting to themselves ten dollars per diem in the Council, which IS six dollars in excess of the sum allowed by the Uni ted States for the payment of members.
 The law says that the Attorney Gen eral of the Territory shall give his opin- ion to the Legislature and Territorial officials whenever asked and without fee.
 We find that the sum of eight hun dred dollars was appropriated for extra services to the Attorney General during the session of the legislature. We con sider such an appropriation to he vio- lstion of law and waste Cf the public money.
 It would only be right and just, or rather charitable to the principal actors of this reprehensible legislative work that We should initiate their chiefest ex- cuses. It Is apparent that members of our last legislature and our Territorial officials acting directly with the same all United States statutes limiting or restricting their financial powers to be operative so far only as United States funds were concerned and that the widest and most wanton extray- sgsnce was perfectly justitiable if fed 6y purely Territorial money, ever forget ting the destruction of our Territory's good name and its useless impoverish- ment were the gravest of crimes, even though the penalties for such crimes might be escaped by loose legal con struction. It is1D be hoped that when another legislatuss shall conveLe in our Territory these excuses for extravaganza will be settled and with deliniteness and authority.
 We believe that the surest cure and prevention for future legislative extravs- gance and corruption IS the full and knowledge by tLe citizens If the Territory of the extent ;o which it was carried in our last.
 The Grand Jury wishes to sincerely express its thanks to Your Honor and the U. s. Attorney and q, $. Marshal for your courteous and dihgent services at all times rendered us during our ses- sion. c. F. HEAD,
