" NE. AND ZUlDCk."
h0r. Farish's Speech Oissecsod with
 tho Scalpei of Truth.

 assembled. in Prescott, the bearer of
 thirteen proxies from northern Arizona
 made use of some remarkable asseftiors
 in regard to ''me and Zulick" which Kwlll be found are st variance with the
 truth as taken from the records. The l JoURSAL-MINER has no desire to rob | Governor Zniick or hls private secretlry
 Of single ray of the halo of glory whio n surrounds ther iliustrious heads and
 which properly belongs tothem, but i, has
 taken occasion before to steer them into the
 channel Of t.uth and Is sg .i1 compelle l
 to draw attention to the flgrant mi' =
 statement of Mr. Parish in his speeo n.
 The private secretary os the governor l after feeble and futile effort to cast slur on Delegate Bean passes on to th.
 lndiln question in which he says:
 "In regard to the Indian question. l have only this to say, that on the fifth day of Dec. last, Gov. Zulick, in letter to the president of the United States, forwarded through the Interior Depart ment, in eloquent language, called at tention to the great drawback to the
 prosperity of the Territory of Arizona
 through the presence of the hostile Chir-
 icahua Indians upon the San Carlos res
 ervation, which concluded with these
 recommendations Il recommend,
 first, that all Chiricahua and Warm
 Spring Indians, now on the White i Mountain Indian Reservation be remov- ed from the Territory of Arizona.
 Second. That the hostiles now on the war path be pursued to the bitter end and be denied all terms of surrender Third, Ii any are captured, that the military department commander be in
 structed not to take them back to the
 reservation, but to turn them over to the
 civil authorities of the Territory, to be
 dealt with in accordance with the meas.
 ure of their deserts, as provided by law,
 and thus establish the rule that there is
 but one law for crime, that its beneti-
 cial influence will reach its victim, be he
 an Indian or white man, and that each, alike, are amenable 10 its penal ties.' (Applause)
 This gentlemen, is the foundation
 and origin of the Indian policy of the administration at present. They hay been pursued to the bitter end, all terms have been denied them upon their sur render and they have been sent from your Territory. The tragedy Is not clos ed because the Department. at Wash ing ton, seeing that they could not punis them through the regular routine of your courts, or by military court mar tial. will inaugurate another kind of tribunal, peculiar to Indian trials under which they shot she Sioux and Modocs. and think that, in the course of the next six weeks, both Geronimo and Natchez will be transported to the hap py hunting grounds of their fathers"
 That Governor Zuiick made the above recommendation ontle 5!h dry Of D.c- ember We do no. deny. How well his recommendation, in regard to the ur- surrender and punish men, oi the hos,iles have been needed, the people of Arizona are vel aware. The claim of originating the above policy however shows an amount of gall unprecedented in public offic;a and is reflection on the intelligence he people of Arizona only paralleled by that famous bogus Sheridan-Zulick inter view.
 The people of Arizon have for year demanded, wha, MT Parish claims his master originated, as bis Indian policy. Gov. Zulick's predecessor had taken oc- casion time and again to call the attention of the government to t and in SeptembeT or October 1883, some two or three | moths beiore the massive brain of our New Jersey governor originated" bis l Indian policy, Governor Tritle in his re pot to the secretary Of the interior, voio- ing the sertlmen, and desires Of the peo- pie of this territory used the io!lowirg l language:
 "The Indians of Arizona from whom the people desire relief are the most un- and cruel savages known to our American history-.he implacable 1 Apaches; and to the question of their proper disposition the attention and lction of your department and of con- yress is most earnestly urged. They have fought step by step the advance of and have waged relentless war upon all propositions of enlighten- nent. They are brave. treacherous and -indictive. Their instincts are to kill, nd their profession is robbery and mur- Ter. They have never been peaceful for my protracted period. Their career of ,loodshed long antedates this country's ettlement by white men, and has been continuous since any record has exist d. They have been quiet at times, hat their blows might be the more un- xpec,ed and sure All efforts to effect heir permanent reformation have ailed''
 "These Indians are still al large and fable at any time to raid into unpro- scted parts of the territory, marking : heir path with blood and ruin. The eople demand protection, and it should ( Q furnished. They also demand the ( emoval of the Apaches from the San arlos reservation to the Indian Terri ,ry, or to such other suitable place as le government may designate, claim lg that while they remain within this
 rritory they will continue a constant lenace to the lives and property of citi- q
