that fits that officer for post requir- ing eminent military and financial abilities. At least, this is the notion entertained by "many leading citizens" of Arizona, who, it is reported, have sent to President Cleveland dispatch congratulating him on his appoint ment of our fellow-citizen, MT. C.. Meyer Zulick, as Governor of the Territory The alleged leading citi- zens express their belief that the new Governor will reduce the Territorial debt and relieve the country of hostile Indians. The ColonePs reputation has preceded him to Arizona, but to those of our citizens who know the distinguished and newly-fedged Gov ernor, this fattering encomiums will appear as a well-deserved compliment. It is true that Colonel Zulick's fnan- cial record is not more brilliant than his military career; and there has been, in the past, some ill-natured in- quiry into the circumstances under which he became entitled to wear the uniform of Colonel. But as taiS portion of the Governors public ser vice was performed in Pennsylvania, we of New Jersey have no right to encourage any impertinent criticism of that chapter of personal military history. As warrior, We feel confi- dent that the gallant Colonel will re- pei the hostile Apaches and will add new lustre to the title which he won in the recruiting service of Pennsyl vania But as fnancier, Col. Zulick has achieved a reputation in the Sur rogate's office of which any expert in bookkeeping by double entry might well be proud. As Surrogate, Col. (now Governor) Zulick succeeded in inaugurating system of finance, which baff1ed, and still baffles, the comprehension of ordinary men. Ex- perts have vainly attacked the elabor ate and complicated system of ac counts kept in the Surrogate's office; and it is well known that, by judicious and ingenious devices before unknown the able Surrogate and ex-COlonel contrived to get more money out ot the office than any of his predecessors did, or his present successor-ever will This is finance reduced to science. It may not be understo; and it may not reduce expenses. But it is real science.
 We are sorry for the Apaches. They are to be exterminated by the ex-Sur- rogate. They will be powerless to re- pei the charge of the gallant Governor and ex-Colonel. The Surrogate is ac- customed to making charges. Charg- ing is his strong point. And the much-bothered many citizens" of Arizona, hearing that he was to be sent out to them as their Governor, threw up their hats and cheered each other at the prospect of their being re lieved at last of the hostile Apaches Other and nearly as brave men have Intellectually grappled with this diff cult problem. General Crook, who is an Indian fighter of renown, has here tofore been unable to relieve the Ter ritory of hostile Apaches; and even General Sheridan, who, os head of the army, has tried his hand by way of generalship at long range, has not ridded the territory of the obnoxious savages. But there is hope for Apache cursed Arizona. Colonel, eX-Surrogate and Governor Zulick, having shaken the dust of Newark from his feet will take up the sword and expel the saw ages from the country. One glance at the gallant ColonePs fee-book will sui flee for the most cantackerous of Apaches. They will hear that the brave e1-Surrogate is coming on his charger, and they will flee, terror stricken, to their mountain fastnesses or across the border into Mexico.
 Should Geronimo, or any member of his warlike band, tarry long enough in his headlong flight to face the e1- Surrogate, he will ask "Is this Col
