Glorious News.

The arrival of two large freight teams this morning in front of Sum- merfeld Bros store, caused our re- porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting a few minutes he observed several large packing cases being unloaded. This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them being unpacked, and mo- ticed that they were filled with boys and mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkerchiefs, embroidered handkerchiefs, initial handkerchiefs, and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents, MT. Summerfeld stated to us that he had employed a force of six extra clerks, so that everybody could be waited upon at once and not be kept waiting. We would advise all parties desiring holiday goods, or who would like to make their lady or gentleman friend a suitable present, to visit the store of Summerisld Bros, and they will find what they want. 12-21 If

The Denver Tribune-Republican says: If the good people of the east would stop to think for moment what it would be if band of savages were to hunt up and down the Al legheny Mountains, killing men and women, they would form some idea of how the people of Arizona feel about their troubles. If such state of things were to continue for seven or eight months in Pennsylvania or West Virginia, it would create a re- voIution in the east. Yet the very people who are proud of their descent from the men who made war on King Phillip, or who exterminated the Mohicans, think it strange that the people of Arizona and New Mexico are growing impatient at the govern ment's failure to give them relief and to protect them against their savage foes.-Albuquerque Journal.

CROOK AND MILES.
What Military Men Think of
 the Proposed Substitution.


 A Call reporter yesterday inter viewed several of the most prominent army officers of the Preside, regarding President Cleveland's rumorsd inten- tion to change the military command CTS in Arizona. Ail agree that it would be injurious to the service to relieve General Crook at this time. General Miles, the proposed command CT, is however, equally as popular among the army people as General Crook. Notwithstanding the success of General Miles in all his Indian cam paigns in the Northwest, the Preside officers think that Crooks superior knowledge of the ApAches give him an advantage that it would take an othea commander many months to acquire.
 The retirement of Major Pope on March 18th next, army people think, has much to do with this change.
 The eligible brigadiers now number six-Terry, Howard, Crook, Miles, Stanley and Gibbon. A dispute has always existed between the first two as to which has prior rank. General Terry was commissioned brigadier in February 1865; General Howard was commissioned in May, 30, 1864. Hence the contention.
 As President Cleveland has shown no disposition to take up any mans fight, it is thought that neither of these officers will be considered for promotion. General Crooks recent failures in the Arizona campaign leave him out of the fight, and that makes General Miles the first availa- able man. If now, added to his al ready strong points, General Miles can succeed to General Crooks command, and with his phenomenal good luck score a success against the Apaches, his chances of succeeding to General Pope's stars will amount almost to a certainty.
