A very bright and intelligent 1aqui Indian was seen driving tour-horse team of good horses about the city yes terday. He stated that he had come into Arizona for short visit and would probably make a few purchases before
 returning. He asked concerning the latest news from the war between tke
 Mexican troops and the Naquis and was copyersant with the details of their very raeenf fight. He says the four tribes united under the Yaqui leadership can put ten thousand warriors into the held, well armed and equipped, and with plenty of ammunition. They also have

WHILE it is true that the people of the United States have real cause for bitter feeling against England because of the stand taken by that country during our own civil war, and while it is also true that we had in that war good reason for gratitude towards Russia for the en- couragement afforded by the people and the government of that nation-while all this IS true, and while it would seem for these reasons, If for no others, that the popular sympathy of Americans should be with Russia in the pros pective fight over the frontier question in Afghanistan, and opposed to England, We still believe that the contrary will prove to be the case, and that in the end England will have the hearty support of popular opinion In the United States. There are several reasons why this should be so. The principal of these, however, is the fact of our having closer intimacy with the people of Old England. The feeling of kinship will also have weight, as will also the conviction that it is a civilized people fighting hordes of semi-barbar- ians. America will not feel disposed to send a contingent 10 help the mother country along with her fight, but she will watch the progress of the war with much interest, and ve fancy that there will be general thrill of satisfaction over her ultimate triumph, should tri- umph be achieved, and of serious iissp- pointment at her defeat if she should be defeated.-Denver Times.

HE Florence Enterprise says: "We sec by the press that Governor Tntle signed n bill reducing the rate of interest on county warrants from 10 to ' per cent. The report must be erroneous, as the oill Tn question was indefinitely post poned in the lower house. But if the Governor has signed the bill through mistake, it has no force outside of Mari copa county. The section preceding the repeating clause read: The provisions of this act shall apply to Maricopa county only. But for this clause the bill would not have passed the Council. So, how ever the matter may stand, no county outside of Maricops has grounds for complaint, unless the parties who in dueed the governor to sign the bill struck out the clause making 1t local measure"

TIE signs multiply that the Demo cr4te clsim of surplus of clerks in the Gl7arnment departments is without foundation. It was well enough for parry capital to make the assertion that le Republican administration of the G5verment had been reckless and ex- rsysssnt, and that a wholesale dis charge oi the surplus clerks would be made as soon Rs the Democratic hosts should tass possession. Instead of this o01ii'.Jl Of things being true, the coun- tr- 4-ars that it is necessary, in order to Esap ID with the work, for the clerksI in Nay Department to work evenings Tor Et Et.sast al extra hour or two every day.

SOMETIMES merchants complain that the people purchase many things of eastern houses, and receive them by mail, that ought to be bought of local dealers and thus keep the money at home. This IS subject upon which the CITIZEN has often spoke quite freely, and it is prac- tlce that should be discouraged. We even see some of the complaining mer- chants getting their job printing done in San Francisco or eastern houses, and therefore our regrets at their loss of cus- tom through cheaper foreign houses are less poignant and are given with a men tai reservation that depnves them of a great deal of the charming simplicity of sincerity.

The laws of Arizona provide for printing the laws of each session in newspaper to be designated the Terri torial paper, but no one was authorized to name such paper, and it is presumed that 1t IS the duty of the Legislative As sembly. A provision of some kind for the early promulgstion of the laws would certainly have been made but for the statement of the Secretary of the Terri tory that he would have them ready for distribution in three or four weeks after the adjournment of the Legislature.
