It Was COppered.

An old man and a young one met at the static n and boarded sn outgoing train They were evidently father and son The father had spent the day attend ing to business, while the youngster had been hunting for city pleasures.
 You've had a nice time, have you WIllism?' remarked the elder. Now. you will hand me that money I gave you to take care of"
 Father replied the son seriously, TT have confession to make. This afternoon n friend took me into a gamb- Ipg house, and, just for fun, l made a few bets on tine deuce. I played her open. but she dorpped wrong on me right along. But l treblrd my bets every time, pa, and finally thought I would sink the whole pile or quit big winner, aud so I siaehd every dollar had.

 Not another wofdl l see it all. You have lost your money and disgraced your family. l don't know what your gambling gibberish means-I never dis graced myself toy going into such place. William you will bring your poor old fathers gray hairs Tn sorrow to the grave. You -"

 ''Coppered. boz, and fell beside the box: Is that so? Bless you my son; bless you. Did yOu win u stack of blues: Reds, you say! Better still. Good for you, William you're a chip of the old block. Run out and buy some good cigars before the train starts"
 And the old man rubbed his hands Tn glee, looking at least dozen years younger.

NEW MEXICO received the news of th
 appointment Ut its new Governor, last Saturday, like 8 stroke oI light ming from a clear sky. Although 1t was known that an appoint ment was soon to be made. yet 1t came unexpectedly early and fell upon the shoulders of one whose political faith
 has undergone a radical change m recent years-Ex-Senator E. c. Ross, of Kansas.
 Hon.Edwin G. Ross vas in 1866 employ ed as an editorial writer on the Topeka,
 Kansas, Commonwealth, and, having
 won the confidence and esteem of Gov
 Crawford, his name hecame prominent
 as candidate for the United States Senate to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death of James H. Lane. General Blunt was probably the strongest as- pirant for the place, but the chief execu- tive of the state was inclined to favor the young journalist. and Mir. Ross was finally named by Gov. Crawford to i'll the position. He served the state of Kansas in the 10th and fist Congresses, the most eventful feature in his official career being the conspicuous part he took in opposing the impeachment of President Andy Johnson, he having cast the decisive single vote that pre- vented impeachment, although sent to the senate as a Republican, and shortly after going over and becoming a mem Der of the Democratic party. For sew eral years past MT. Ross had made his home at Albuquerque, where he has been more or less engaged on the news papers of that town, and also putting in much earnest time in an earnest en- deavoror to promote the national vel fare of New Mexico by working in the interest of a system of narrow guage lines extending from Espanola south ward through the center of the Ter ritOry.

 Special to the CITIZEN.
 LAKE VALLEY, N. M., via Deming, May 25.-Gen. Bradley. commander of this district, arrived here to-day and will personally direct the campaign against Geronimo. He states that Capt. Smith, of the 4.h Cavalry, had an en- gagement with the renegades about 30 miles from Alma, in which three soldiers and three Indian scouts were wounded. Tho Indians retreated and the cavalry started for Fort Bayard with their wounded. Six companies of the 10th Cavalry, colored troops, arrived at Fort BaYard today, from which place they will be sent to different points to inter- cept the renegades should they try to escape into Mexico. Three companies are in this vicinity and others are near the Black Range. In all sixteen com psnIes and sixty scouts are in the field. At the time of the engagement with the troops, Geronimo had his women, 1t Is said, to the number of 96 in advance of the warriors. who number 3i and half grown boys. He says the renegades are are likely. fl pressed, to make for Cooks canyon and into Mexico east of Deming. Unless they succeed in reaching the canyon before Wednesday they will find it guarded by two companies of troops.

How long vii! our citizens continue to be murdered and their property destroy ed? How long will our government continue to feed, clothe and arm these savage hell hounds: How long will the development of the country be re- tarded and capital and immigration frightened away? These are the burn- ing questions before cur people, beside which all others are dwarfed into insIg- niicance.-Phenix Herald.
 Oar Indian experience in Arizona has not been fortunate or credltable. No one has ever been punished for the murder of Judge McComas and his wife and his little boy, although the murderers are within our grasp and are actually being fed by the government. And now, pos sibly, after allowing an opportunity of administering salutary lesson to tEe Chiricahus to escape, We may be commit ing a gross injustice to @ tribe which has never done us wrong and whose members have always obeyed the laws It is not thus that we can acquire re- spect or secure satisfactory relations with the Indians of Arizona.-Sau Fran cisco Chronicle.
 The cause of the outbreak, the miii- tary report, was a dissatisfaction on the part of Geronimo at the discipline re- quired by the authorities. He had con- ceived the idea that he should be treat ed with more consideration and allowed greater freedom and privielges than the other Indians. As a consequCnce he and his followers had recently been indulging in grand pow-wow, at which tiswin, an Intoxicating drink manufac- tured by them, was iDdulged ID freely. Geronimo was warned to desist from this and was given until a certain time to bring 1t to a close under the penalty of arrest. He became sulkY and at the last distribution of rations refused to draw the amount allowed for him and his men, and as stated left the reserva- tion on the night of the l7th. Nstchez. one of the chiefs accompanying him, was compelled to do so against his will and it is thought will soon return as his wife and family remain behind Prescott Journal.

NEW YORK Tribune: Mir Cleveland seems ambitious in his appointments to emulate the dreams which, according to Rory O'More, ''go by conthraries, my dear" As the Chef Justice of Terri tory, he selects the most conspicuous lsw-breaker and law-dsfer of that Terri. tory. As the Assistant Attorney Gen. eral for the Interior DpaItment, with especial relation to the Bureau of Edu- cation, he is urged by Attorney General Garland to choose a most notorious aod bitter enemy of the public school sys- tem. He hesitates, but why? He finds that he has already chosen for the most lsborious position In the Cabinet. that of Secretary of the Interior, the Incar- nation of laziness who will go down to posterity as ''the bath-tub Secre- tary."

Stopped by Mexican Authorities.

The third cavalry, |. s. army left Deming several days ago for Texas, but the Rio Grande was so high they were unable to ford it, and for that reason had to march down through a strip of Mexico to PasO del Norte, just across the Rio Grsnde from Fl Paso. Their purpose vas to cross the river at that point on the Mexican Central bridge, but in Paso del Norte they were stopped by the Mexican authorities who were in- dignant that American troops should thus wsntouly invade Mexican Territory. Since this perilOus invasion disI Iatches have been passing every two hours be- tween Washington md the City Of Mexi
 co, and meauwbile the Third United States cavalry Is ID quarantine in Paso del Sorte. When these International questions are settled the regiment will cross the river.-Albuquerque Journal.

 CLIFTON, A. T., May 26.-Lieut. Hill of the Clifton Rifles, and his men re- turned at a late hour last night. They went as far as Benton's, on the Blue river, forty miles north of here. They found the citizens of Alma at ranch and they had already buried four per sons named Robert Benton, aged sixty years, native of Kentucky; James Mont gomery, aged thirty-nine, a native of Kentucky; Christian Luther and his brother, natives If Sweden. Wood Todd and some cowboys searched day and half for the body of Thomas Welch, and Montgomery's partner. a native of Hi noIs, aged twenty seven, but failed to fud them. They were doubtless wound ed and crawled off to a secluded spot where they died. The property loss by the raid in shis country is as follows: Hampson's ranch, thirty horses driven off and ten head Of beef cattle killed; Luther Brothers, four horses driven off; BentOn's eleven horses. The Alma men stated that from ten to fifteen persons were undoubt.y killed m the immediate vicinity of that place. They condemn the troops from Fort Apache for not overtaking the Indians, whose flight was hampered by twenty five squaws and numerous pspooses.

 , WHEN Iudlan agent R. G. Wheeler ' was n this city short tune ago. he said that his control of the Papagos did not extend beyond the limits of the res eryation. It is learned at Casa Grande that some two months ago lot of these Indians living in the vicinity of the Nekol mine, south of Casa Grands, con- sideredit their duty to beat to death one or two of their medicine men. MT.

 his intentions and sent out runners to inform the others, and when be reached thelr village not an Indian could be tound. He then burned their wickiups

VIXEN the present Indian war in Ari- zons and New Mexico is ended, its cost in damages will be found to present Q formidable draft upon the national treasury. When the military condoned the crimes Of the Apschos and took them back to the reservation and killed for them the fatted calf, they assumed tue responsibility for their good behavior. The best efforts of the war department have proved inadequate to the task Of restraining these red muTderers. and they arc again at their old work of bloodshed and robbery. As the respon- sib lity rests upon the government it must expect to pay the resulting dama- ges. Itis snot-unreHsonablet to suppose. if they cross into Mexico, that ouE neigh boring Republic will also bring in long bill to indemnify it for damages by the raiding Apaches.

IT Is very considerate in the Santa Fe Review to announce that it will treat the new Governor of New Mexico with "a spirit of the utmost candor and fair ness so long as the Claws now upon the statute book be fully and fairly ad- min,stercd, and that the administration of the new executive be comprehensive, energetic and honest" We infer that its msgnsnimity will extend only to the exact line 1t has drawn, and then Gov. Ross may expect to receive in large frsg ments that which Pete Kitchen got ID Sonora.

Reward for th. Indians.

Special Co the CITIZEN.
 PRESCOTT, A. T., May 27.-In view of the fact that M. J. Essan, of Clifton has reported to acting Governor Van Arman that five settlers were murdered last Friday on Blue River, he will to- morrow issue a proclamation offering a reward Of goo each for the arrest and coDvie- ton of the Indians who committed the murders. The proclamati,n pro vldes If they are killed their identity must be proven. The proclamation is not intended in any manner to interfere with the military authorities in the dIs- charge of their duties, nor does it eI- tend right to any person to go on any reservation. The Governor says the Indians of the reservations are as amenfable to the laws as white men are especially with whom the United States have amicable treaty relations. The Indians who committed the murders on Blue River are supposed to be either stragglers from Geronimo's band or a fresh lot that left the reservation.

 DEMNG, \. M., May zE-Reports from Lake Valley say that considerable excitement was created in that town by Indian signals in the mountains last night The citizens armed and prepar- ed themselves for an Indian attack. Geronimo's band seems to have divided into six smaller bands, apparently raid ing in different directions but with the purpose of concentrating at some point understood by them. It IS known that runners have gone into the Mescaleros' camp, but what reply Geronimo got can only be conieciured. Several more killings of settlers have been reported but no accurate details can be got at. Thirty settlers are now known to have been killed SO far. and Geronimo's band is still intact. Gen. Crook IS en-route for Deming and Fort BaSard to take per sonal charge of directing the move ments of the troops.

GERONIMO did not m ke bee-line out of Arizona, out of any consideration for Gen. Crook. He probably never thought of Crook excepting it might be with twinge of regret for the occasion his flight would necessitate of craftily drafting ingenious official reports" of other military triumphs over the sava- ges. The military are incompetent to cope with the Indians, and the people who have been deluded into a sense of security from Indian raids through military promises, now feel that there is no absolute safety until the last Apache IS wiped from the face of our far land.
