The News, both ends Of 1t, has a can
didate. Some time since the Dallas
News authoritstively announced that
the Hon. d. G. Giddings was a candi-
date for governor. Since then several
counties have pronounced for him and
his candidacy seems to be quite favor
ably received. This adds one more fac
tor to the uncertain equation of the gu
bernatorial nomination. Nomatter who
rakes the convention porsimmon, outside
of one slim chance, that nomination for
governor will only be the beginning of
democratic sorrows. Put chalk mark
here.

THIS congress is a great bore. The
national capital, fearful that the mem
DRY of this present congress as the great
est Of all legislative bOrGs should pass
out Ofthe memory Of men, has decided to
perpetuate the event by building the
greatest underground bore for sewage
on this continent, or any other. This
immense sewer will be twenty feet in
height for nearly mile in length and in
its smallest part will be larger than the
great Paris sewer, which has become his
toric as the theatre of many thrilling
episodes in the underground life of that
city. If this sewer at Washington could
only carry off 10 the bOttOmless deeps of
the illimitable sea the congressional re-
fuse that now floods the country it would
be contamination most devOutly to be
wished.

Mr.. JAMES PEARSON NEwCoMB seems
grieved because the editor of the LIGHT
has not applied to him for a special
license to edit republican paper in
Texas. No intentional disrespect was
intended to the autocrat of the party,
and ignorance of Texas usages must be
his excuse. The LIGHT, having unvailed
to the republican party In Texas the
true inwardness of this unauthorized
call, and its charges against the authors
thereof remaining unanswered, has ac-
complished its sole object, viz: to warn
the republican party Of the trap laid for
1t. That object accomplished the LIGHT
has no farther duty in the premises.
The prediction that the consolidation
OF Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia under
Prince Alexander would give peace to
Eastern Europe is not fulfilled. The
closing by Russia of the free port of Ba-
toum has convinced England and Aus
tria that no faith can be put in the
peaceful intent Of Russia, and state OF
armed neutrality must be preserved by
them which sooner or later will end in
armed Intervention. The union has not
been found to balk the march Of the
Gar towards Constsntinople. Con-
trarywise, it is made the occasion Of his
massing large force on the frontiers Of
Bessarabia. The outlook is not prOpi-
tlOus for settled peace.

The philanthrOpists are agitating re-
fOrmatOry prisons In Texas. Before the
reformatory prisons are built how would
few reform schools, and industrial
schools that are not penal, suit the COM
plexion Of Texas christianity. There
are no schools in this state, scarcely any
in any state, where the manual arts are
taught. Public schools at state expense
in which to train boys in useful employ
ments side by side with ordinary school
culture are very much needed in this
state. They would save the state from
the burden OF great idleness. do much to
solve questions of industrial economy,
be long step in advance Of present
methods for manual Instruction, and
would greatly aid in solving the ques-
tiOn OF youthful criminals by largely
putting an end to the breed. COmpul-
sorry education; industrial schools, which
idle youth of certain age should be
GOmpellI d to attend-give us these and
there will be little use for reform schools
or state reformatOries.

The Winslow reform ticket means the suppression of crime, and sum- mary justice dealt out to criminals. the people havenot yet forg atten the fate of Pete Gregory, Ed. Over street, William Shepherd, George Sdencer and others, neither have they forgotten that these bloody tragedeis were passed unnoticed and that no effort was made to bring the perpetrators to justice. The titne has passed for such doings in Apache County, and the people are going to place affairs in the hands of men who not only be free from iawlessness themselves but will under no circumstances wink at the violent deeds of others.

Slaughter of beeves for the En- glish market will soon commence at the refrigerator works in Fort Worth, and ship is on the way to carry the first load of frozen car casses from Texas port to En- gland. This will open new out let for great quantity oi Texas beef, and must have a good effect on the market, Another English scheme is fattening establishment somewhere in this state, to prepare beeves for slaughter and then ship them alive from some Texas port to the west coast of England. :.

On last Friday night quite a large gathering of citizens met at the Mormon Assembly Room to hear the issues of the campaign discussed Messrs Morrison, Hogue, Adamson, Lcsueur. Owens, Nelson. and Harris Baldwin were present as representatives of the Winslow ticket. Mr. Pratt who was, by ac- clamation, chosen chairman, hay ing called the meeting to order stated it's object ia few appropri- ate remarks. Mir. Morrison who was first called upon, occupied the floor some half or three quarters of an hour. In a clear and forcible manner and with evident effect, he explained the Winslow bolt and the origin and birth of the polecat ticket which has been labeled Equal Rights" All of the candi dates in turn announced their can didacy with remarks more or less extended. Harris Baldwin, Esq. made the closing speech of the eve ming. In a masterly and eloquent argument, he fully reviewed the past and present condition of the County, the public debt, it's effect and it's remedy, the mal-adminis- tration of affairs, the inefficiency and remissness of the officers, the vital importance ofreformation and finally closed his impassioned ap- peals with a glowing and graceful tribute to Commodore Owens, to which the crowd responded with applause.
 After Mir. Baldwin Lad concluded Sister Juan Baca y Milner arose from her seat and announced little tea party of her own at the same place on the following night. MT. Lesueur gave notice that the Wlnslow candidates would hold another meeting in the Assembly Room. on Friday, Oct. 29th, where upon Sister Milner, with her stays unlimbered, again uncOiled her length and sung out for equal rights on Saturday night the Both. The meeting then adjourned and the crowd wended their way homeward feeling that the evening had been agreeably and profitabiy spent.
 If the earnest and deep attention paid the speakers and the frequent applause, which were observable at this meeting, may be taken as in- dicia of public sentiment then the mongrel ticket will fall far short of its reckoning in St. Johns.

Governor Zulick's Report.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Hon, C.
 Meyer Zulick, Governor of Arizona
 in his annual report to the Secre-
 tary of the Interior refers briefly
 to the Apache troubles in that ter.
 ritory and says with the removal
 of the renegades he sees a dawn oi
 new days. He says development
 will now go on without check or
 drawback. The Governor referring
 to the San Carlos Indian reservation.
 says,ssit contains 6,s50 square miles
 or 2,52S, ,0O0 acres of land, we'll wat
 cred and we'll timbered, most of
 which is as good as any agricultu-
 ral land ia this territory. Upon
 this tract are gathered together
 Yumas, Tonto and White Mountain
 Apaches, about 5, 3,500 souls, so that each Indian, male and female,
 young and old, holds 700 acres of
 land. These Indians, I am told.
 are nearly self supporting. It would be we'll for Congress to par eel out the land, giving to each
 head of a family $40 acres, or if this is deemed premature then Con- gress should take measures to re- duce the reservation to at least half its present limits. Then following the mining and railroad statistics of the territory, tl.e Governor recommends that the lands of the A. < P. Railroad Company be sur veyed at the earliest possible mo- ment in order that they may be listed for county and territorial taxation. On the subject of desert lands and irrigation, the Governor says Arizona contains nearly 114,- OW square miles or about 72,000,- 00O acres of land, about 1S,000, 900 acres of which are utilized for stock raising and upon it graze nearly 100000 cattle, more than million sheep, besides horses, mules and l other domestic animals. Nutri- tious grass grows everywhere and ] could the balance of the land be adapted to grazing it would be utilized for that purpose. This has become the greatest stock raising country in the United States. Want of water being the only draw back to its speedy development. For most part these lands lie so that reservoirs can be constructed | to preserve water from the rains of summer and melting snows ofwin- ter, for the use of herds of cattle and other stock. Ofthe remaining 50,000.0O0, of acres of which are and agricultural, two thirds are arabic could they be irrigated. Ofthese 100000 acres can be re- | claimed by judicious appropriation and distribution fthe present wat sr supply. The Governor requests that Congress be asked to demon- strate this by scientific survey and | practical test, the feasibility of ar tesian wells for giving the needed 1 supply of water, and adds: Around 1 Denver a we'll irrigates from thirty to fifty acres. If half as good re- suits could be obtained in Arizona. we could produce wine, raisins, fruits, nuts and olives enough to support in affiuence a population of 100000 people. The Govern nor in conclusion predicts that the Apaches being removed, the territory will double its population.| and resources within the next two.

This would make cheap cattle to start for the Northwest next spring.

 Washington, Oct. 19, 1S3G.(
 To Lieutenant General P. H Sher-

 Sir: By direction of the Presi- dent, it is ordered that the hostile Apaches, numbering fifteen, and recently captured in Mexico and now at San Antonio, Texas, name ly: Geronimo, Natcheh Percio, Fun, Abnandra, Nohi, Ychuza, Fishnolth, Touze, Bishi, Chapo, Lazaiyah, Molzos, Kilthhigai, Lep- home and Leaah, be sent under proper guard to Ft. Pickens, Flor ida, there to be kept in clese cus- tody until further orders. These Indians have been guilty of the worst crimes known to law, com mitted under circumstances of great atrocity, and the public safety required that they be removed from the scenes of their depreda- tions and guarded with the strict est vigilance. The remainder of the band captured at the same time, consisting of eleven women, six children and two enlisted scouts, which you are to conduct to Fertilization, Florida, and place with the Apache Indians recently conveyed to and now in custody at that post You will see that all details and arrangements are made for the prompt and efficient, execu- ton of this order.
 It is stated that the above order meets the approval of the Secre- tary of the Interior. From it's terms, it appears that Geronimo and the other hostiles are to be sep arated from their wives and fami- lies, who are to be sent to Fort Na
