PROHIBITION.

Providence Or. / } People.
Thursday the prohibition amend.
ment to the constitution went
into effect. The rumor which
had been in circulation for some
time previous regarding the ex.
pected noncompliance of liquor
dealers here shown to have been
without foundation, as in every
street in Providence, from the
center of the city to the circum-
ference. there were indications
that the liquor dealers were going
to observe the law 10 the fullest
extent. Never in the history of
the state has there beon such an
apparently thriving bnsiness done
In intoxicating liquor than was
Witnessed durIns ...srfst part OF
the present week. OF course tho
is explainable by the fact that the
dealers, one and all, desired to re-
duce their stock, and as a conse.
quence. offered tho greatest bar.
gains in liquor ever offered In the
state. A present result has been
to induce many heads OF families
to lay in a stock ofliquors, and In
hundreds of cases this has been
done by men who never had a pint
of alcoholic liquors in their house.
Nor can any one reasonable blame
them. The law, which it Is .eald
will be enforced to the utmost re.
quires that only registered phar-
macists shall sell Intoxicating
liquor in future, and then only to
such as can produce u certificate
from n physician, stating the kind
and quantity required, and which
must be kept OH file for a specified,
period of time. There are nun
berless cases in which the timely
administration of small quantity
of liquor is productive of much
coed, and in many cases, by such
use, the services of a physician are
not required. But under the
operation of the new law a ply
sician must be consulted on oc.
casions of the most ordinary kind,
aud the consultation, though It
only extends to him giving a Ger.
tificate for a "little wine for the
stomaeh's saksn must be paid for.
Had the Rhode Island legislators
gone to work with the avowed
purpose of fleeing a whole com.
munity for the benefit of the
smallest class of citizens the ply.

young men in the vicinity Of Bat
tlefeld, Newton county. These
young men, it is said, have deter
mined that certain farmers of their
vicinity shall not employ cslored
laborers, and following out this
determination they have murdered
three negroes and seriously woun-
ded another. Thirteen of the
regulators have been arrested
by the Sheriff of the county, waiv-
ed trial and admitted to bail in the
sum of s250.00 each. The bond is
small, but the regulators are
poor men, and had difficulty in
giving bond in that amount.-State

Two of Mississippi's most prom
inent citizens, Col. Alex Yerger
aud his son-in-law, Mr.. Chas. Scott,
were in the city yesterday, the
latter with his family on their way
to Ocean Springs and other places
Of fashionable resort. Mr.. Scott
resided in Memphis ms a boy, and
his father, Chancellor Scott, occu-
pied prominent position at the
Memphis bar, and was partner of
the late L. V. Dixon. Mr.. Charles
Scott was recently elected Leves
Commissioner for Bolivar county.
He is the largest land owner and
taxpayer in the county, one Of the
ablest lawyers in the State, and,
possessing talents Of the highest
order, his career would be brilliant
If he should engage in politics.
Col. Alex. Yerger, is a brother to
the family Of Yergsrs. who have
made national fame as lawyers,
and had he given his talents to
the profession, he would have
made a reputation equal to that
of his brothers. He is dessrvedly
one of the most conspicuous and
popular citizens in the State OF
Mississippi, and he has earned
this popularity and prominence by
thirty years. devotion to the pub
lie service. He is a Democrat
from principle, and has done more
for the party without reward than
any man in the State. He Is Q
tower of strength to his party in
the hour of trouble and when il
needs wise counsels, and if his
services were requitted commen
surate with his deserts, he would
be made the next Governor ol
Mississippi.-Appeal.

EVIDENTLY there is some one in Fl Paso with a great love for prac- tical jokes. It was he who re- counted the exploits of the re- doubtable Black Jim between Clifton and Lordsburg, which were promptly printed in Eastern papers as bona fide news. Now comes the following canard, in the shape of telegram dated San Francisco, Dec. 29: "A dispatch received from Fl Paso, Texas, to- day, states that an attempt was made to blow up with dynamite the large bridge on the Southern Pacific railroad over the Rio Grande river, near Fl Paso, on the 23rd, and thereby to wreck the trains or rob the passengers on the west-bound express, but owing to the train being late the plan failed. The attention of the Southern Pacific officials of this city was called to the dispatch, and General Manager A. N. Towne stated that a most through inves- tigation of the matter shows there is no foundation for the state ment."

A comparative table of the strength of the merchant navies of the world which has just been pub lished in France shows that Great Britain possesses 22,50O trading vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of II, 200, ,OOO tons. Of these vessls 4,649 are steamers, with tonnage of 5,919,000 tons, or rather more than one-half the grand total of burden. The United States makes a very bad second, with 6,6O0 sail and 2,700,000 tons. Norway has 4.200 vessels, 1.500,000 tons, and Germany, which comes immedia- t.ly after her, has 5000 sail, with a total of 100000 tons; France, Italy, and Russia bring up the rear, each with less than 5000 ves- sels. The proportion of steamers IS, however, of greater importance than the total number of ships en- gagged in trade, and in this regard France stands second, although she has but 45S steamers, of 667,- 900 tons in all, to England's 4,649 Germany presses her closely with 420 steamers and 476,000 tons.

The proposal to change the Sol tomonville mail route from three
 time a week to twice a week has
 met with the most determined op.
 position from citizens of both
 Clifton and Solomonville. A pe-
 tition has been circulated in both
 these towns, and has been signed
 by all the leading men-in short,
 by everybody who has any busi-
 ness with the county seat. It
 seems to THE CLARION that such a
 change as is contemplated is penny
 wise and pound foolish. A few
 dollars may be saved to the United
 States Treasury perhaps, but not
 enough to compensate for the
 amount of eexatious delay which
 all Graham county must suffer.
 Now Clifton is, as everybody
 knows, the largest town of the county and Solomonville IS the county seat, and 1t Is as unjust to deprive us of adequate mail facil. ities in this direction as it would be to cripple the service between New York and Chicago. Because we are few it is no reason why we should be slighted. Rightis right, even in the Territories, and a thing which would never he thought of in the populous dis tricts of the East ought not to be forced on us in the Territories simply because we have not an organized State Government. The United States Government has no more right to curtail the service between the two chief towns of this county than it has between Washington and Philadelphia. We are as loyal citizens, we pay our taxes as cheerfully, and we obey the laws as closely as any class of citizens in the county. Is there any good reason why We should not have equal rights2 Our rights are fully as valuable to us as in the East. The mail is the last thing for a Government to retrench in, and there is nothing which strikes deeper at the pros perity of a country than crippling the means of communication. We admit we are at the mercy of the Government. but one thing is cer- tain, whatever public man assists in thus injuring this community will be remembered at the polls. We look to the Hon. c. c. Bean to move Tn this matter.

TWELVE Apaches appeared at
 the stock ranch of Sandy Bob, the stage proprietor, in the Mule mountains, eighteen miles below Tombstone, on the Both inst. They fired about twenty shots at some wood choppers, who ran to the house to give the alarm. The h. dians rounded up about .hirty-five
 head of stock and decamped with
 about twenty head. The Apaches started northeast, heading for Sul- phur Spring Valley. The opinion Is entertained that these Indians are a part of those recently dis banded, whose duties as Govern ment scouts led them through this locality and informed them of the lay of the land. Probably they were a fraction of the original eight of whom Crook spoke. Like the loaves and the fishes in the Bible, the Apaches have a most re markable faculty of multiplying. Immediately after this depreda- ton Mir. Robert Couch, alias Sandy Bob, sent a telegram to Governor Zulick, stating the facts of the case, adding: "Please send two companies of cavalry to pro- tect these indians against the white outlaws of Arizona" The same day the Governor replied that all the soldiers on the way to the Ter ritory were to destroy the hostile Indians and that he knew of DO white outlaws. Sandy Bob's tele- gram was evidently inspired by the Governors latest proclamation urging the whites to spare the poor Indians. Mir. Couch will go on record as a good example of what the late Artemus Ward wos.d call "s most ssskastic kuss"

Iris again rumored that the Eng fish Government will introduce flair trade" measure soon after Parliament opens. The fact proba- ply is that such 8 measure has been prepared, but it is unlikely that it will be brought forward unless the Cabinet is sustained in its Irish policy. Those whe claim to have had direct information about the measure referred to, say that it is founded upon the recon mendatIons recently made by the trade commission presided over by Lord Iddlesleigh (Sir Stafford Northcote), namely, that system of retaliatory tariffs be established as against imports from any coun- tries that refuse free admission to British manufactures or products. Of course the principal operation of such a measure would be in the direction of America. The com
 mission claimed to have been con vinced by the great mass of testi- mony laid before it that the distress prevailing among the laboring classes of England was due to the foreign competition made possible by free, or as they called it unfair trade; and though a majority of the ministers are free traders, they are understood as body to be disposed to make concessions to the undeniably strong and growing element in the country in favor of fair trade" aud retaliatory tariffs.

THE recent proclamation of Gov ernor Zulick, deprecating an at tack upon and massacre of the Indians on the San Carlos reser- vation, and his telegram to Wash ington asking for troops to protect the Apaches on the reservation have occasioned much surprise and indignations from one end of tho country to the other.

THE Silver City idea is an ex- cellent one. On the 30th the leading citizens held a meeting to devise means for prosecuting a war of extermination against the murderous Apaches. It was at first thought the Government would purchase forty or fifty bloodhounds to track the Indians, both Con. Crook and Col. Bradley favoring the proposition as the only really available means of pur- suing the red butchers. Word was received from Santa Fe that the army officers were willing to recommend the employment of bloodhounds, but thought it would be several months before the War Department would act upon their recommendation. Upon learning this, the citizens called the meet ing and determined to raise money by subscription for the purchase of a pack Of bloodhounds and for again equipping and putting local militia in the field. Wealthy ranchmen in attendance pledged over $3.OO0 for the purchase of bloodhounds. It was also deter mined to raise picked company of 300 experienced Indian fighters from the several districts in the Territory, who will immediately take the field and campaign the remainder of the winter.

move Tn this matter.

SENATOR HENDERSON and Con-
 gressmen Springer and Laird,
 called upon the Secretary of War
 to discuss with hlm the situation in Southern New Mexico in regard to the Apache troubles. They re- presented to him the defenseless condition of the people and made
 known their purpose to introduce a bill soon after recess providing for the raising of a body of troops for the special purpose of hunt ing and, if necessary, exterminat ing the murderous bands of h. dians which have been making that region desert. They pro pose that these troops shall con- sist exclusively of frontiersmen and be placed under the command of army officers. They shall be temporarily enlisted for this spe- cial service and equipped, mounted and provided for in such a way as to be able to follow and fight the savages in their mountain fast nesses. The Secretary entered heartily into their plans and prom ised to do everything in his power to forward the purposes they have in view. The bill referred to will be introduced by Congressman Laird, of Nebraska on the Both inst. The New York Tribune has com mented favorably on the scheme. It really looks as If something would be done.
