THE -RAIDING INDIANS.
The Latest and Most Reliable Report Of the
Depredations Near Ores.
special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the indianapolis Journal
TOMBSTONE, A. IT,, Aug. 9.-Three different
reports have been received relative to the Indian
raid near Ures last week. One was that they
killed eleven teamsters, all Americans, and forty
mules Another report said seven Mexicans and
two Americans were killed. The last and prob
ably more reliable report is that they attacked
train of four wagons and killed the Mexican
teamsters, thence raided near Mineas Prietas
and killed two Mexican woodchoppers, then
made another detour and raided round back
toward the Mulatos mountains, stealing horses
as they went, and came from the direction Of
Puerto Caneja, their old trail. The country is
terrorized, and ranches for almost hundred
miles around will be abandoned. 1t is thought
to be portion of Geronimo's band, sent out by
him to divert the attention of Captain Lawton,
who has been pressing the willy chieftain to his
utmost. Geronimo is engineering for time
What his next maneuver will be no one can tell,
but it is highly probable that Lawton's pursuit
has been so pertinacious that he has concluded
that the Sierra Madres are untenable. The
moon is out, and he may expect to hear from
him on some flank movement up here or on some
Mexican base of operations very soon.

The New York Graphic, an administration
paper, acts very unkindly in referring to what
Mr.. Blaine would probably do in case he were
President and plainly hints that it would be a
good idea for the President to do the same,
lest the Republican party do it in the cam
paign two years hence, and carry the day.
1t comnlends Mr.. Blaines American policy,
and admits that it is popular idea. 1t
speaks of it as .jingo," but at the same time
expresses the hope that President Cleveland
will not be stupid enough to let Mr.. Blaine
get the advantage of fathering the modified
Monroe doctrine, systematized and elaborated
so as to be of use to the countries west of the
Atlantic. The Panama canal should not be
allowed to remain under the exclusive control
of European countries, and there are several
other things that should be looked after in an
ticipation of closer union between the coun-
tries on the American continent "All these
things" says the Graphic, s.may make Mr..
Blaine's jingo opportunity, and they would
certainly make the new politics, which the
country needs as relief from sectional issues
very naturally following the war;" And all
of this is very impertinent in a paper friendly
to the administration. It were bad enough to
inform the President as to his duty and OPP
portunity. but to take as an example of what
he should be the kind of man the Graphic
thinks Mr.. Blaine to be- is pretty hard to sub
NIT to.

The Sentinel has struck new idea In an
editorial, mourning the failure Of George w.
Julian to be confirmed as Surveyor general of
New Mexico, it says: 1--WE do not seek to in
ouire at present what part Mr.. Harrison took
in the business. It is to his discredit that Mr..
Julian was not promptly confirmed" Just
why Senator Harrison should interest himself
to secure the prompt confirmation Of Mr..
Julian passes comprehension. Is not DAN

with the interests of Indiana Democratic
appointees9 Why did not Mr.. Voorhees, in
terest himself to secure the confirmation of
Mr.. JulianY Has anybody heard Of any
thing that Mr.. Voorhees, ever did in Mr..
Julian's INTEREST," Senator Voorhees, will be
in the city to-day and we suggest to our es-
teemed contemporary, the Sentinel, that
it ask him what efforts he made
to have Mr.. Julian confirmed. Let
the Sentinel ''seek to inquire what part
Mr.. Voorhees, took in the business" The truth
is, that Mr.. Julian was not backed by Indiana
Democrats. He had no backing for the APP
pointment; but, as the Sentinel says, he was
appointed on the recommendation Of Mr.. Til
den, and not on the recommendation of any
Indiana Democrat. Indiana Democrats
were not anxious either for the
appointment or confirmation of Mr.
Julian, and took no part in either business"
It is something new to hold Republican
Senator responsible for the failure Of the con-
frmation of a Democratic appointee, when
his Democratic friends never lifted finger
to help him. Mr.. Voorhees, worked for John
E. Lamb and for Thomas Hanlon. But what
did he do for George w. Julian? Will the
Sentinel ask the Senator and reportP

It il quite natural that the man who con
doned forcible spoliation OF Southern
communities should now be equally
villainous in his ways.
This is land Of liberty and law, and
though the wrongs and burdens Of the
people are legalized, the law must be en-
forced at all hazards and at any cost
l for without law all is riot and ruin. But
the tyranny Of the law should be over
thrown. The people are the law makers,
and the people are responsible for their
own seryitude to legalized Injustice and
robbery The people should awake to a
sense OF their responsibilities, shake of
the apathy that doth so easily beset the
American citizen, and repeal and amend
the laws whose tyrannical eSactioDs
are daily growing more unbearable.
The body polite Of the country is
diseased Strikes and riots and secret
political organizations are the tumors that
indicate the morbid arrangement Of the
system; the remedy should be applied,
for the disorder may spread and desperate
grow until desperate appliances are need

country which promote robbery, laws
which give to HIM who hath and take from
him that hath not Such laws breed legal
robbers and multiply themselves. The
American iyrant is law; the American
people should behead the tyrant as the
Roundheads in England did and substi-
tute another and more impartial ruler.
