Testing the Dow Liauor Law,

TOLEDO, O., Sept. pat Bowling Green, the
county seat of Wood county, which recently
adopted prohibition under the Dow law, Victor
Pochea, a saloon keeper, was tried for violating
the law The jury returned verdict of guilty.
The supporters of the law are jubilaut as the
case was holly contested and was looked upon as
test A bill of exceptions was filed by the de-
fendant'o attorneys. and the case will be ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court The defense was
that the saloon-keeper was only the agent of the
Finlay Brewing Company. of this city; that the
company rented the room, paid the United
States internal revenue tax. and that the Dow
law could not prevent the sale in this manner of
beer in quantities of one gallon and upwards.
This was the point which the defense relied.
There are several towns in this section of the
State which have adopted local option, and
where this mode of evading the tax has been
adopted.

over an area Of country as large as the
State Of Connecticut, where game is
plenty and its destruction prohibited,
is decidedly extensive one, espec-

A Washington special TO the San

ut seems that Geronimo has been
prominent as a smuggler as well as a
murdnous raider, and the records of
the Treasury Department testify 70
the fact. Nbae Jndge Folger was

stole lot Of horaes in Mexico aud

when the animals were seized By Gov
ernnent officers and held for duty, the
wiIy chief reFesed to pay 4 cent, and
gave notice that unless they were re-
turned to bim he would st once load
up his shoohng,irons and unsheath
his scalpiHg anife. He finally buH.
dozed the department into letting him
have tue horses without paying any
duty.

Indian Commissioner Atkins says be
will show that the number of Indians
reported for rations has been far in
excess of the actual number existing.
He thinks that there have been any
where from 5,000t to 10000 more ra-
tions issued during the past ten years
than there was any necessity for. We
believe there have been almost as
many rations as the Commissioner
states, issued, uselessly,, in this Terri
tory alone. We do not believe in the
policy pursued by our government, OF
sustaining vicious Indians, such as
have been quartered on the White
Mountain reservation, in pampered
idleness and permitting them to carry
arms. The Indians are favored race
in this Territory, and upwards OF thir-
ty Mexicans, recognizing the adyan-
tages Of Indian citizenship have mar
ried into the several tribes at San
Carlos and are drawing rations from
the government.

We have already referred to the

cause Of there being the choice Of the

vote in proxies, and now the Star, OF

About twenty thousand head Of
Texas cattle are 10 be brought into Ar
iona this fall. Our present stock
laws afford no protection against the
introduction of splenic fever, as the
most thorough inspection fails to re-
veal its presence in cattle from the
fever districts of the Lone Star State.
From Illinois, Missouri, Colorado and
the Panhandle come reports of Texas
fever decimating the herds, and if in
this Territory considerable losses are
not sustained before the end of the
year, then our Stockmen may consider
it an intervention Of Providence. Our
livestock interests should be protec.
ted by the passage Of a rigid Quaran-
tine law, that would virtually inhibit
the importation of Texas cattle.

The m Paso Tribune in voicing
Captain lia@tons OPINION Of Geronr
MO says the has a high opinion Of tie
military aud strategic abilities oil the
old chief and might have as truth
fully added he is an inborn diplomat.
iSt as is evidenced by The fact OF his
overcoming Crook in all their mental
encounters.
As an evidence Of Geronimo's mlli-
tary ability is the fact Of his battling
the power Of the United States army
with a plothoric cxchequer to draw
from, for sixteen months, with u COM
mand, all told, numbering one hum
dred and tmrty persons, A majority
of these were women and children, de-
pendent upon him for protection and
food, which no managed to procure, as
best he could, as he moved to avoid
the greatly superior forces, with their
attendant supplies, sent against him,
This, too, he accomplished with every
water hole, and pass in the mountains
guarded, aad elevated spots occupied
by signal service men, who could in
stantly convey intelligence of his ap-
pearance miles and miles in every di.
reetion by a fash of sunlight.
Geronimo was not whipped, but
simply wealed by being kept con.
stantly on the move by aggregated
United States and Mexican troops, and
there is no doubt that, with all his at
teudaut disadvantages, the overture
for peace did not come from him
1t will be remembered that General
Miles and T. J, Jeffords, during the
latter part of June, visited the Chiri-
cahua camp, near Fort Apache, where
1t was arranged that a delegation Of
the tribe should so to Washington to
confer with the authorities there. with
a view for their removal from Arizo-
ma, and at the same time it was made
known by General Miles that a small
delegation (2) would be permitted to
( go to the Sierra Madre to confer with
Geronimo, for the purpose Of notify
ing him that General Miles was will
ing to treat with him, aud in esfnfor-
nifty herewith Lieutenant Gatewood,
two Chiricahuas, and a squad of negro
soldiers were ordered to undertake the
/ journey. They met and conyersod
with Geronimo, who surrendered to
Lieut. Gatewood it is presumed, ap.
on terms agreeable to Geronimo, and
at his dictahon.
This, however, may not be the case,
but the temporizing action of the gov,
ernment supports the belief that Gero.
nimo demanded terms as condition
Of surrender and obtained them; and
as a further confirmation Of tho fact
/ is the report from Washington that
Geronimo had really protected himself
against punishment by the conditions
on which he surrendered, "that he
should not be tried by civil court,
and that a military commission is dc,
barred the power to try him because
[ it is not time Of war, and not being
in the military service his crimes Dc
not bring him within the judieaturt
Of court-martial.

The large number Of independent
Political movements in various parts
Of the country, while Of slight impor-
tance, perhans, at the present time,

ity of the leaders Of either the Demo
cratic or Republican party, is, never

OlutlOn in American politics, not many
years Hence, which will engulG one or
both Of the dominant parties
1t is well known, aud admitted by
all except rank partisans, that the
lines which formerly divided the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties, have
become almost obliterated and that
the issues of the war are dead, through
inanitiOn In fact the most impor-
tant issues of to-day are those that are
sectional in their bearing. On no
great question Of national polity is
either party united, and their national
platforms, Of late years, have been
framed with a view Of favoring the
capitalists and manutaetm ers of the
Eastern States, whose influence is all
powerful, and the throwing Of an oc-
easioual sop to those sections and
classes whose votes count least in an
election.
The Western States and Territor les,
the silver producing regions of the
United States, have been almost to-
tally ignored and except that we feel
and resent the abuse to which we are
continually subjected by the autocrats
at Washington, who send their power
ty-stricken politicians to fiji our Ter.
ritorial offices, and through their war
on silver have crippled our foremost
industry, we would not know that we
were part of the same great country,
The Cleveland administration has been
particularly hostile to the West and
has no reason to expect its support
We, OF the Territories, have no voice
in the administration Of national aG,

Of the Territories, are identical, should

The existing eStradition treaty with
Mexico contains a provision that nei-
ther that country nor the United
States is bound TO deliver up lis owr
citizens under the treaty The saple
provision is found IN about a demn
more treaties between this comtry

ers, including Mexico, with whom
there are treaties containing this pro-
vision, have conferred upon their exc
outiyes the right to surrender their
own citizens on sufficient evidence, but
the executive Of this country possesses
no such power. In 1884, Mexico de-
manded the extradition Of Alexander
Trimble, an American citizen, which
the Secretary Of State at FIRST refused,
bnt afterwards promised to further
consider. Tumble, however, was re-
