EDITOR ARIZONA SENTINEL one from this place has given vent to his gall, at the expense of the inofen give ladies over at the Fort, in an ob scure sheet of San Francisco. It strikes me that the old woman, in pet ticoats or pantaloons matters little, did not stay nearer home, but sneaked of and like guerilla or treacherous Apache attacked from behind. If he or she be convinced of the truth of the statements, why not speak up man fully there where the facts are knownl Why like a bushwacker shoot from under cover at inoffensive ladies2 Sir rah, what do you meant If you are not a coward why write anonymously to an out side paper such trash that an average gentlemanly editor would not as much as spit atl As you shoot from under cover I shall stay under cover likewise. But challenge you to come out above your name in a decent manner, and the writer of this will do the same. It will then become plain to all that you have an ax to grind, and that you care very little for the government money box," into which you have not put cent any way. Leaving the bad grammer and long labored sentences aside, which show either foreigner, or some old woman's bile, os both, I ask the anonymous scribler why he did not first convince himself of the truth of his statementsl Every lady or gentlam does this before making an attack on any ones good nams. There is not the spark of 8 gentleman's character in the anony- nousscribler from Yuma, else he would not have attacked estimable ladies. It makes not a particle of difference whether these ladies call themselves sisters and Catholics, or not. That, Sirrah, is not of your business. You should have gone to the Fort Yuma school, as the editor of this paper did last week, and made inquiry before giving vent to your jealous "gall' in the Pacific coast sink, called Argonaut. Your "gally" "mutterings" have called forth 'public indignation, not against : the Sisters, however, but that there should be in the city limits an insolent scallawag who could commit such a 'd-d outrage" as 8 gentleman ermed it.
 First ot all Mrs Sherman had and has as little to do with the transfer pf the Yuma school as the man in the moon. That plan originated with d prominent gentleman of the Indian Department who Is not Catholic, but then not bigot either. He thought hat If no one else could do anything Fith the Indians, the Sisters at least had proved successful. That they made their confessions every week as very good priest does, Father Chau- lot included, and every Bishop and he Pope himself, this gentleman at Washington did not find an obstacle lnd yet he was once, if mistake not, ln EPiscopalian minister. The people pf Yuma agree with him. Go see the esult and have the manliness to give testimony to that effect, as the SENTI- VEL editor did
 If Mrs. Sherman had had anything 10 do in the matter she would have Pnly added one more to the large mum
 f her good works. That's all. There n she is perfectly right and need not sk the bushwacker's pertsission. If he scribber does not like Catholics, le agrees with rabid Pixley sureenough but not with sane Americans. The government is neither Protestant nor Datholic, but treats all according to heir merits. They inquire first of trustworthy persons before they con
 emn, something the botch scribber hould have done; next, the Sisters re- eive s2700 salary per annum, out of his they must board themselves and
 ay all their personal expenses. They lust furnish a sufficienC number of
 Gcient teachers for that amount of honey. There are just seven Sisters here, and not eleven, as the jealous
 ar reports to the San Francisco sheet.
 Ian, why dld you not go and ask? However, if there were eleven, or ele
 en hundred, that would not take from
 be "Government money box" a single ent above the S2,700. Now to show |. ....... e. lo,,o sGr.oIID tb.f +bara ;e ,,o
