WASHINGTON, APRIL 30, 1886.
CHIEF cnoN1N,s REMOVAL.

The District Commissioners have
deemed II expedient to request the
resignation of Mr.. Martin Cronin, Chief
of the Fire Department and 1t Is to be
taken for granted they have reasons
which, in their Judgment, warrant them
in taking this step. 1t is extremely
gratifying, however, to the many
friends Of Chief Cronin, rs 1t will be n
proud and consoatory reflection to the
Chief himself, to know that this request
for his resignation is not basel upon
charges of dcrcliction to duty, or any
thing of personally discreditable
character.
The Fire Department rs 1t exists to-
day is monument to his ability,
genius and fidelity. lie has devoted
himself for years TO the responsibilities
of his position with an almost idolatrous
zeal. There is no man in the country
who has made the fire service so much
study, or who has more to show for
it in the way of recognized improve.
ments, new and effective appliances,
and other beneficeut results; and his
successor whoever he may be, will
have the satisfaction Of finding ready
to his hand one of the best organized
departments in the world.
1t is stated that Mr.. Cronin's health
is the principal cause for his retire
ment. He has been under surgical
treatment for many months for in
juries sustained through an electric
shock, and though he is steadily con-
valescent, it was probably deemed best
to place at the head Of the department
some man about whose physical con
dition no question could be raised.
Considering, however, that he Is not
incapacitated from prompt and vigilant
attendance upon every fire which takes
place, there Is quite general feeling
that greater justice would have been
done by granting him years leave or
sending him abroad on tour of Euro
pean inspection than by this summary
removal. OF course he will be entitled
toa pension, but $50 month is a
rather poor return for an official who
has devoted nearly twenty years of his
life TO the public interests, only to be
discharged for an accident received in
the line of duty.

MIR. DAVIS AT MONTGOMERY.

None OF our ensanguined contempo-
raries can find much to harp upon in
the visit of Jefferson Davis to Mont
gomery; nor in the remarks made there
by the eX-Confederatc President. 1t is
true that the people welcomed Mr.
Davis very warmly; it was but natural
that they should. lie was their leader
in time when they were fighting for
what they thought to be just cause;
TO him they looked, in him they trusted,
when the skies were very dark and
when the best blood of Alabama was
being spilled. There was nothing
reasonable in Mr. Davis welcome; nor
was there anything so very objection.
able in what he said, as coming from
him, who has chosen to make himself
the sole sacrifcial Offering for the
South.
Only few of his sentences were
other than devoted to thanks for his
reception and to eulogy of those who
fought for the cause of the Confed-
eracy. One of his utterances charac.
terized the rebellion as "a holy war for
defense" q war approved by Chris
tianity." Another spoke of the rebellion
as having had constitutional liberty"
for its goal In another sentence Mr.
Davis said that his greeting in Mont
gomery yesterday showed, as did his
greeting there quarter of century
ago, that the Esprit of Southern
liberty" is not dead.
Mr.. Davis believed all this in 1861.
He has not changed his belief He is
simply consistent with himself in
making known that his opinions have
not changed; that though he stand
solitary and alone in those opinions, he
will die in the faith.
The quarter of century that has
since passed in fraternal peace and the
elimination of old sectional resentments
is n mighty good physician to admin
lister soothing anodynes to heated and
restless passion. Mr.. Davis acknowl-
edges as much, but he still clings to the
dogma that beneath all this passion
there abides an immutable principle,
which, If it was reasonable to assert,
1t is equally reasonable, so far as he is
concerned, to repudiate.
The Washington critic., 1886-04-29
on THE WAR PATH AGAIN.

There can be no doubt that the dinl.
culties encountered in the pursuit of
the hostile Apache bands in Arizona
and New Mexico are so great as to be
almost insurmountable, and to any per-
son who has ever seen that desolate,
rocky, precipitous and God-forsaken
country, 1t seems impossible to cam.
paign through 1t. The troops have
done wonders and have suffered incredi-
BILE hardships in their work, for which
they have deserved great praise; yet,
one question obtrudes itself upon the
mind of every thinking citizen, and
must agitate the intellect even of the
average Eastern "Friend of the Poor
Indian" That is;
Why, under the canopy, was Chief
Geronimo not taken care of ia some
way when he was once in the hands of
the troops?
1t was not General Sheridan who ad-
vanced the axiom that "the only good
Indian is dead one," but it must be
confessed that harsh as the idea seems
it timpresses the mind of every man.
soldier or citizen, who has ever had
aught to do with the red man of the
frontier, that II is mighty true. The
willy leader Of the murderous Apaches
The Washington critic., 1886-04-29

has too often proved his dangerous
wickcdness by murder, rape, arson and
torture to risk for n single instant
trusting TO his promises or placing
any faith whatever In his ideas OF
honor. The many murders he has com
mittcd should, one would expect, have
called for hia being heavily ironod as
soon rs he came into our hands aud
hurried before some tribunal where he
would be made to pay the extreme
penalty of his life for his crimes, and
the armed guard over him should have
been so strong that death would have
been the sure result of any attempt TO
escape.
Now he Is on the war-path again,
marking his way with fire, robbery,
and red handed cruelties at the very
mention of which humanity shudders;
and all, as II would seem, owing to n
tame and tomporizing instead of a
short, sharp and decisive policy. We
have always had full faith in General
Crook; we have equal faith in General
Miles, but there is no soldier In the
world, be he ever so brave and faith
full, who can thoroughly do his duty In
front when hampercd in the rear. This
is a lesson that the Government ought
to have learned for all time by its eX-
perience in the civil war; but in the
meantime new generation has grown
up, and new ideas have obtained in
regard to the conduct of our Indian
affairs, some of them strong and lnud.
able, Others weak and mpracticablc
and with these the War Department is
more or less eniangled.
1t is to be hoped that General Miles,
being given authority to draw at sight
for all the money and men he wants,
will thereafter be let alone to work out
the problem in his own way, without
interference by Congress, or the Intc-
rior Department, or the peace societies,
and least Of all by the gentlemen, with
Speculation in their eyes" who rep
resent the United States mt the Indian
agencies.
