HE details of suffering caused by the recent blizzard even in Kansas, are indeed narrowing, and the following extracts serve to show the intensity of the cold and the sulferings it occasioned. The Dodge City Times says a rauchmBn four miles west of that city lost 4OO head of sheep out oi flock of HOO; an other one lost several hnDd7ed head of hogs; another lost 10 head of cattle out of herd of 40, and 10 head more are missing; another lost If head Of valuS- ble blooded cattle. And so l: goes through long catalogue of losses. The thermometer was I9 degrees below zero and the storm ragged for thirty hours with the velocity Of wind ranging from twenty to forty-four miles an hour. 4 gentleman gas detained over the night m Dodge City and his wife and chIl- dren in caring for the stock were badly frozen, the wife losIng an eye and the daughter an arm People Were unable to move about ii the storm even to a di-tance of one hundred yards. One settler could not find his house R short distance from his stable and finally reached a neighbor's house half mIie from hls home; two men n a stabl, could not reach thelr hOnse dozen rods away aud were compelled to remain in tbe sta ule. wo youug iadIes Were frozen tn death while accompanying theIr mother from their house that was filing with snow to tbelr brothers house, half a mile away. Ire motbsr was over come and the daughters were frozen to 1 -Eth ib their efforts to protect her. She wss also badly frozen and will hot survive. The daughters were between tue ages Of 2l and D. These are some frw among the many instances that serve 10 show what terrible ordeal tbe people to the north were oompellsd to endure during the recent blizzard, when the people of Arizona hardly required sn oveIcoat.

THE Democrats are making very ridic- ulous professions of innocence relative to the election frauds in Ohio. So long as the nine democratic members of the legislature could hold their fraudulently obtained seats, the democratic press was ss silent Rs the grave, but upon a com plete showing of the facts in the clumsy B tempt at fraud, and the election of the bogus members, they send up a howl of indignation that is truly laugh- able. In the case of the returns from Cincinnati, the figures were changed by the democratic managers from 726 to 926 by changing the figure ' to 9, in s very crude manner. In Columbus the figures POS were also changed to eos in a like manner. The Cincinnati democrats. admitting their fraud, attempted to make it hold good. but were defeated iD the courts and m the contests before the legislature. It may possibly be an usurpation of power Tn the republicans to resist such democratic rascality and the comments of the democratic press confirm the general belief tha. the demo- crats approve of any means of getting office, no matter how deep into fraud they are required to wade. And 1t also confirms the belief that very good dem ocra. can be a very bad man.

NEW VOLUME.

To-day the DAILY CITIZEN enters upon its thirteenth volume, and the WEEKLY CITIZEN upon its sixteenth, marking an existence of fifteen years. During this period of time the Territory of Arizona has undergone unusual vicls- situdes even for frontier country, and its march of progress has been met at every step by the red curse of the sav- age tribes of Indians that to this day continue theIr work of destruction. And yet, in spite of such almost Insurmount- able obstacles there has been a steady light of increasing civilization grsdu- ally Illuminating our otherwise favored Territory and to-day il is in position to almost command an influence in the cir cles of political power hardly second to one of the sIsterhood of states.
 During this gradual emergency from absolute obscuIity, the CITIzEs.has al- ways espoused the cause of the strug- gling people who were carving their homes from the crude wilderness under the most expressing difficulties. It has been fearless In its championship Of the right as it saw the right, and equaliy zealous in denouncing wroug, and to day it hss.the proud satisfaction ot real izing that its consistent efforts n the cause of the people and Its devotion tC their interests, have been appreciated and good words of encouragement comes to its sanctum from every section oi the Territory, and even from every state in the Union. To-day it enjoys c very wide circulation and 1t can boast that during tue past season of dullnes' and depression 1t has, under the mos careful management, not only paid its way but has accumulated something and its circulation Is constantly increas ing. With a most satisfactory state o its business affairs and in the enjoyment of the confidence and esteem of vas number of readers, every one of whom it regards as personal friend, the CIT HEN begins the new volume with re newed energy in the advancement of the interests of Arizona and its people, ana with determination to merit a continu ation of their respect and good wishes

TIE Tres Alsmos grant, which is now before Congress for its acton, has no standing and will meet Bt the hands of this Congress the fate it so richly de- serves. This so-called grant was made in the year l763. to an old Mexican family residing on the San Pedro near tine Ohensorgen Place, extended some fourteen miles along the river, begin ming four miles above Tres Alamos and extending up the river us far as S,
 Dayids, and was given on the condi- tons that the Mexican should, within specified time, place upon the land embraced within the grant, one hundred families, which was never done, conse- quently the land relspsed for non com plisnce of contract. But 1t seems there is yet some life left in the viper and he shows his fangs at this late day. Land grants have been the bane and curse of Arizona, New Mexico and California. They have left their sting upon the homes and firesides of thousands of prosperous ranchers, and by corrupt legislation and subsidized tribunals, have succeeded in driving worthy men from their homes.-Tombstone Epitsph.

Covboys as indian Fighters.

General Sheridan does no: believe ID the scheme suggested by Congressman Laird. of Nebraska, tl enlist regiment of cowboys to fight the Apaches. He says that COW boys tgLt pretty we'll when they are drunk, but does not tLIuk they would be of Sery much service on a long tedious campaign In which dis'l 70 p!Ine has tO be maintained. If regl- meut Of frontiersmen who have served in the army could be raised as vas the case ID the Indian war Tn kansas during the years Of lS6S and 1863, they would undoubtedly be very servlceable, but the veterans of the wgr are npT too old to endure the hardshiQs of Gl Indian campaign, and it would be imp 1s~l5le to enlist enough of them. As an Il'u-tr6- ton of the bravery of cowboys 70 Indian war General Sheridan says that while he was down in Arizona lew weeks ago A rauchmau came m to complain that a party of five Apaches ajtEcked ms place, burned bis buildings, killed two or three people, and s'ampai'd his cat tie.

Gen Crook tO Remain.

Senator Van Wyck and Representa- tive Dorsey, of Nebraska; Judge Carey, delegate from Wyoming, and Maj. Llew
 ellyn, lately agent of the MescRlero h. dians, called upon the President on Saturday in reference to his reported purpose to remove Gen. Crook from command of the troops operating against the Apaches. They represented that much anxiety had been created in the west by the report, where Gen. eral Crook, by reason of the bravery and skill be had evinced in many h. dian wars, was held in high appreci- ation, The President spoke admirinGly of Cien. Crook and assured hIs visitors that no serious purpose Of removing hlm had been entertained. He said Gen Crook should have all he wanted. the whole army if necessary, 10 quell the disturbances, protect the settlers, and punish the ssvsges. The President said he was determined these objects should be accomplished. The gentle men then called upon Gen. Sheridan Ill reference to the same subject and were assured by him as by the President, that Gen. Crooks removal was not con- templated.-Wsshington Republican.

troops, and they would eventually be worn out and discouraged and be glad to surrender. The mys- terious see-sawing across the country would be strange tactics to the Indians and entirely incomprehensible to them and the certainty that detsch- ment of troops would visit every water ing place in the country would check the Indians from obtaining any water at all. With the present tactics, the IT, dians can look down from the mountain tops upon a moving column of troops and know exactly the route they will take and where they must camp, and thIs accurate knowledge affords them a feeling of security while they rad hither and thIther uumolested. With tine un- certainty Of the military movsments no such security Is gwen the savsges and they are hable at any time to encounter the troops. The idea IS quite novel and seems 10 possess some merit. At all events it would be far better plan than the present method of fruitless search on the trail.

city, and today there ore probably eighteen oT twenty stores conducted by them. Some of these purchase thelr good. at wholesale rates of lccsi dealers, but 1t is only a question of a short time when they will buy direct from the great markets and, m the nature of things they will finally destroy the trade of the legitimate merchants. They live with no personal expense to speak or aud contribute nothing to the pub lie exchequer, and these advantages permit them to accumulate more money on a less margin of profit than tie American merchant can hope to dc. That these stores prosper m our midst there can De no doubt, for they even offer 1n advance On current rents for advantageous localities for trade. The aggregate of their monthly business doubtless represents c handsome sum, and It is just that much trade diverted from the legitimate merchants who are citizens and taxpayers and property owners, and who contribute to the vari- ous needs of our high civilization.
