The Burglars Eye to Busines,.


 The commercial element enters much more into burglaries than many suppose to be the case The house breaker wants to be assured that the booty he is after is really worth his trouble He es not sec why Ae should give up his ieaee of mind and his nights rest with the chances of resistance and the perils of the law, for a small or dubiOu, return. ln these banking days the chances of pick ing up com are greatly ie>scnCd Our convict says that burg ar will be at i'm mense pains before cracking dCmicile. lie will have q correct pan of the house. duplicate keys. and description of tue plate and valuables

WHY THE cHIRIcAHU,s LEFT THE REsrp.
 NATION.
As early as October 7tb. lSs4 ua

As early as October 7th. 1884. We wrote letter f"r the purpose Of acquainiine sn oihciGl of the Indian department in the East that the CuiTIcahuas We're dis satisfied with military rule, and that up- less they We're placed under the control or the agent they would leave the res ervation. It was also stated io ;Fot Iat- ter that notwithstanding the militgr,' 's system ot espionage they Che .nililary) were ignorant Of the li satisfaction rx- lstlng among the Chiricahuas, and of their contemplated outbreak. Ala latar date thl' information was imparted by us 70 . B. Beaumont, shortly after Le was relieved as an official of the arenev. Geronlmo was bitter iu regard to tbe treatment of fhe Cliricahuas by the mil. ltary and said tbey were drluded by n promise of Crock to leave Mexico and come to the reservation, which had never been fulfilled, aud that now. in- stead of the liberty heretofore accorded them while under the supervision of HoaG, at the sub-Egency and promised by Crook, they were surrounded by sol diers and treated as captives. ThIs statement does not compnrt with the one so iudu- triously circulated that the ChiricahuHs left their encampmenl upon the impulse of the moment. when fred by tiswin, but 1t Is nevertheless true. as the dissatisfaction O. the Chirihahuas was well known anl commented upon in the press and otherwise. Gad O, their intention to leave, weeks before they did go.
 The report of the Commisslouer of Indian Affairs for the year 1881 places the responsibility of the Chiricahuas leaving the sub-agency, September 30th of that year upon Gen. 0. B. Wilcox, which we know Of our own knowled e to be true, and though he was warned ot what the result of his action would be, he persisted in doing what no sen sIble man would have done under the circumstances; hence all subsequent trouble with the Chirlcahuas, conse. quent expense to the government, Joss of life and property of citizsns and retard- ing immigration to southwestern New Mexico and to Arizona, rests with hin. These facts were recognized by tine War Department, ss WIllcOx's removal from command III Arizona showed. Another instance of the'Tesulting trouble on the part of the military was the Cibicu affair, where Gen. Cars command was successfully attacked by White Noun. tain Indians and captain (H-ntig) and several private soldiers werr killel and despoiied Of ammunition, which was left in pos. ession of the Indians Globe | Silver Belt.

IN reply to the representations Of Hon. U. Il Oury, the special delegate of the Society ot Arizona Pioneers Co lay be- lore the department at Washington the s-stus of the Indian affairs In this terri 'oF!' the telegraph says that Commis-
 sIoner Atkins met the request that the Indians be disurmsd with the proposit- loa that the cowboys also be disarmed; 'ha' he saw no reason why the cowboys should carry arms if the Indians were usarmed. It IS very evident that Con- nlssloner Atkins possesses about as pfoioand kno slsdge of the subject aoont which he so glibly speaks as the pubic does of the wonderful principles Involved iu the sphynx-like Keely motor. me cowboys of Arizona or New Mexico do not trouble Indians unless caught S'eailng stock; the Indians are provided "!tn ample reservations from which all whites are excluded and, reasoning by analogy, the Indians have no right to so outside their reservation, armed or unarmed The Indians need no arms Nltn which to hunt, for the government leeds them with abundant and good 'ailons, and SO long as they are provided With arms and ammunition they wlll make raids upon tLe settlees; aud GO long as they are permitted to menace '1e country with arms furnished them D! the government, will there remain 'enptatlon upon the part of an out 'ASed people to organize for the utter alnihlllation of the Indians, m which sad event msny innocent ones will suffer "i'A the guilty. Again, the cowboys must retain their arms to protect their -sfds from the lawless element that Nounshes near the frontier and makes ousiness of stealing stock and snug glng 1t across the line into Mexico. ms element is the natural foe Of the 0oWooy and for which he always goes prepared. MT. Atkins is evidently no'iee ID the duties of his position, and 'o' the good of the service he repre- S'nts' he should come out to Arizona aud acquire a little experience among ,ne cowboys and the armed Apsches. Ahe obvious result would be a change VI hesrt respecting the cosboys and a 'NAnge Of existence with the Apaches.

A Good Officer.

Col. Zsn l.. Tidball, |. $. Marshal for ihls Territory. has resigned his po- -ition, and President Cleveland has now an opportunity of appointing a Demo-
 rat to the position. During his incum- bency Colonel TIdball has made n most efficient and competent officer. The department of justice in this Territory was never better represented than IL has been through the administration of Col. J. A. Zabriskie as U. 5. District Attorney and Colonel Tidball as United States Marshal. These gentlemen have both been subjected to criticism from the Republican press of the Ter ritOry for retaining Democrats under them us deputies. From a strictly par tislan standpoint, these criticisms have been proper, no doubt, bu; no one can lay tue charge of incompetsncy at the door of either the principals or their deputies. The laws of the United States were never SO strictly enforced as dur ing the ineumbency of the above named gentlemen, and Col. Tidbsll can retire from ofiic, with the proud satisfaction of having made one Ot the best records for efficiency III the office oi any Mar shal the Territory has ever md.

Pasteur on Spontaneous Generation.

He established a second be'ween organic matter and gan ized or living matter, and proved that life never appeared without germ. This was the result of his work on spontaneous generation
 The supporters of heterogeneous or spOn- taneOus generation no longer maintained al the time when PaSteur took up Ihe problem that the larger animals were pro duced spontaneously. as was held by Aristotle and many of later date. but Il remained for the French scientist to show the same thing for the microscopic world His famous dispute with ba>tian and POuchet continued for several years and the experiments of Pasieur during this time were varied and full of interest The germs in the liquids used by the exper .ments, which he claimed caused the semblance of heteTO genesis he tTst de stroyed by heat. and no life afterward ap peared
 When the heterogenisis protested tha, thus the plastic force which produced life was destroyed. he showed that heat and even a screen of cotton wool were not necessary.
