agriculture, and in the production OF
wealth. The territory has been
greatly retarded by the frequent
outbreaks of reservation Indians and
their ravages among the settlements;
but it is hoped that the capture of
Geronimo and his warriors breaks up
this agency of terrorism, and that
the exposed settlements will have
little to dread hereafter. The San
Carlos reservation embraces 2,52S,-
600 acres of land, well watered and
| timbered, the most of which, says
the governor, sis as good as any
agricultural land In the territory, or
In this country" But upon the re-
servation are gathered the Yuma,
the Tonto and the White Mountain
Apaches, about 8 800 in number, so
that each family owns about $500
acres-and no white person is allow
ed to settle on the reservation. As
a means of securing additional pro-
lection to white settlements In the
nelghborhood, he recommends that
each Indian family be allowed GAO
acres, the reservation reduced ac-
cordingly, and the remainder of the
lands ssld to settlers. This narrow
ing of the limits of the reservation,
he thinks, ''would not only throw
open to immigrants large and de-
sirable body of land, but would give
greater security to the people against
Indian outbreaks" Arizona con-
tains la, 200 square miles, being
about twice as large in area as the
state of illinois, and, of this area.
$4,000, 900 acre S, or one-fourth, is
occupied as grazing ground for stock
i, 10000 head of cattle, 1000, 900
head of sheep, and smaller numbers
of horses, mules and other animals.
The want of water is the greatest
drawback the territory labors under
and this, the government thinks,
could be partially overcome by the
judicious construction of surface
reservoirs for holding the heavy
rainfalls of summer and the melting
of snow in the winter. The precious
metal products of the territory for
the year is $5,748,0 silver and
SS46, ,426 gold. The copper depos-
ITS are very valuable, and when prop
erly worked will be not less pro-
ductive than the gold and silver
mines.

THE PRESIDENTS MESA GE.


The following is the Missouri Re.
publican's review of the president )
messpge. We reproduce 1t regard
ing it as a fair exposition of all the
points involved:
son the subject of coast defence
the message points out that the de-
fenceless condition of our sea-coast
and lake frontier is perfectly pal
pable. The fertilization of the
chief harbors is treated as an abso-
Lutte necessity and 1t Is recommended
that steps for that purpose be taken
immediately.
Of the patent Office it is shown
that, while the business was five
months in arrears two years ago, it
is now less than three months, and
delays in the granting of pensions
are merely nominal. The applica-
tions for pensions during the year
were 40, ,678, of which 25,619 were
granted, both numbers being in ex-
cess of those of any previous year.
During the past year the patent office
has turned into the treasury a sur
plus revenue of $163,710.
On the subject of public land the
president Is clear and emphatic.
"Tbe rapid appropriation of our
public lands" he says, without
bona fide settlers or cultivation, and
not only without intention of resi-
dence, but for the purpose of their
aggregation In large holdings-in
many cases in the hands of foreign
ers-invites the serious and immedi-
ate attention Of congress. During
the past year the land department
has restored to the people 2,750, 900
acres of land, and 2,370,000 acres
still pending in the courts and de-
partments." The president recon-
mends repeal of the pre-emptIon
and tlmber-cultu acts, and that the
homestead laws be so amended as to
secure compliance with the require
ments of residence, Improvement
and cultivation for five years from
date or entry, without communication
or provision for speculative relin-
qulshment He also suggests the
repeal of the desert land laws.
Gov. Zullck s report to the secre-
tary of the interior shows that Ari-
zona is making very satisfactory pro-
gress in settlement, In the develop
ment of its mining interests and

NUMBER 42.

The recommendation of the attor.
ney general for the establishment Of
of penitentIary for the confinement
of United States prisoners is approv-
ed, one argument in its favor being
that it would enable the government
to treat the convict-labor question,
so far as concerned its own prisoners,
with due regard to the interests
of loboring citizens. The recon-
mendation made at the last session
for change IN the law to expedite
business in the federal courts is rs-
newed.
The Pendleton law is commended
highly and congress is recommended
to add to the dignity of the civlI-ser-
vice commission by an increase of its
salary and authority. The president
regrets what he thinks is a popular
misconceptlon of civll-service reform,
but IS confident of a glorious future
for it.
The Indian question is discussed
briefly by the message. The presi-
dent regards the various agancies as
efficient, but owing to the large terri
tories over which they have control
and the consequent employment Of
their whole time In the management
of funds, the distribution of subsist-
ence and the preservation of peace,
they are inadequate to the present
purpose of merging tribal organiza-
tions into citizenship. He holds that
the conditions of the Indians have
so changed as to demand the applica-
ton of eivilizlng influences in the
most practical form. Therefore he
suggests the establishment Of sup
Elemental agencies and renews his
former recommendation that CON-
mission of six persons-three from
the army-be provided for, to look
after both the agencies and the
Indians. He says the Indians are
willing to take lands in severalty,
but the inequalities of existing spe-
cial laws are anything but attractive,
and it becomes important that legis-
Iation be had which will lead to the
settlement on homesteads OF the
leading and progressive members OF
the various tribes, so that civiliza-
ton may be taught more by example
than by precept."

The Republican party has done It's best
to pass through Congress a measure that
would put the Southern States in a way
TO educate the Colored millions and leave
little excuse for not doing 1t. The Blair
bill recognizes the fact that emancipation
threw upon the South and upon the coun'
try q heavy weight Of illiteracy. 1t reCog'
nizss that emancipation was a national
act, that eniranChisement was q national
act, and that relief ought to come from
the same source.
For reasons OF their own the Democrats
and their Mugwump allies have made a
savage assault OH this measure OF relief
and are doing their bestto strange 1t with
fair. share OF success. We are glad to
know that some OF our Democratic friends
understand the situation and are frank
enough 10 describe it as it is. Note what
that sturdy Democratic champion the
Richmond Dispatch says:
When Mr.. Blair's bill had been passed
twice by q Republican senate-a bill which
proposed to give those States money which
needed money DemoCtatic committee OF
a Democratic House Of Representatives
actually substitutes q bill which gives to
the Southern States, where all the negroes
reside, not q dollar more than their school
population entities them to.
II the House OF Representatives shall
take up with this substitute, we fear that
the consequences will be fatal to the pub
lie life OF many a Democratic member.
We won't say that 1t is no better than no
law, but we do saythat the Southern Con-
gresham who supports 1t IN preference to
the Blair bill Is not well grounded in the
science Of political economy.
Though most OF the appropriation
would 90 to the South, this Is no objection
but rather a recommendation Of the Blair
bill, because the greatest ratio Of illlteracy
is in the South and the desire Of the
friends Of the measure Is make 1t the
means to accomplish the greatest good.

The second speech OF Mr. Jefferson
Davis at Montgomery was not quite SO
barren OF ideas as that OF the day before
He went a little more fully into the long
AGO, worked over again the forgotten
speeches Of John q. Calhoun, and once
more miaquoted the history OF the rebel'
lion,
Mr.. Davis is not "the coming histo'
rlan', who will above all things try to toll
the truth. He endeavors to make thl'
generation Of southern men believe thai
the North drove the South out OF the
Union, fred .on Sumter, and refused 81
Inducements to consider itself paclled
Having said what he did, Mr.. Davis
might have gone n little farther and de-
clared that the Jefferson Davis who, as
Senator Of the United States, intrigued in
Washington to set up a rebsllious govern
ment, and then walked out OF the Senate
was a Senator from Massachusetts, not
lrom Mississippi,
