tainly never was the expression more
applicable than the much discussed
Miles Geronimo affair. Last winter
the president promised the citizens of
Arizona that the Apache Chief should
be killed. When the news came that
he had been captured, it was at first
reported that theGovernment,t through
it's representative Gen. Miles, had
promised Geronimo his life. But now
that Gen. Miles report has distinctly
stated that the Indians surrendered
Internationally, the matter does not
seem to be improved at all. He can
not be tried By a military commission,
as we are not in open warfare against
his tribe; he cannot be tried as rebel,
and the president, it is said, is not
eager to have him hanged as a muir
derer as the object of the campaign is
now accomplished. Why not going a
step further, and reason, on an equally
logical basis, that Geronimo is n pat
riot, US he has been fighting the in
vadors of his country.
The Cabinet ministers have returned
to the city, and the business of the
Government departments here has
settled down into its usual hum drum
routine. Secretary Manning Is back
at his desk again, attending to his
work. He seems In good health and

Fun to Rum a Newspaper.

reason they never get hold of news
paper to run. It's really great deal
of fun to run a paper. The eyes of
the whole community are watching
the editor, and his actions, his BUSH
ness and his paper are criticised to an
extent almost incredible. If he hap
pens to go away from town on bust
ness he is accused of neglecting his
business and riding out his pass" If
he never goes away he is said to be too
''close to go away to learn anything
for the benefit of his town, because he
might miss nickle at home" If he
works all day i'm his Office and spends
his evenings at his books and
getting up his "copy" he is called dis
TINT, cold and not in sympathy with
the public interest of his town, be-
cause he is never around" If he is
''around" hunting locals and visiting
business men, he is lazy and shiftless
and undeserving of support, because
he can never be found in his Office. -"
If he misses an item, the one interest
ed in that particular item says his pa

has the courtesy to give the w. @. L.

meet a party of Protestant Sunday
school children who were returning
from an excursion. The crowd accom-
pAnying the band groaned az Damber
of Catholics who were assembled on
Carbon Hill. The latter replied with
stones and the others retaliated. Wild
rumors spread throughout the city, and
a large mob of Orangemen soon gath
cred. The police tried % dispense the
crowd, but their efforts we're
useless, and the Orangemen con-
tinued to increase. The mob attacked
and wrecked large tavern owned by
a Catholic named McKenna. The police
frequently charged the mob but were
repulsed with stones. The rioters then
wrecked q numOer Of houses believed to
be inhabited by Catholics. They up
rooted the pavement and fired vOlleys
I stones at the police. The latter were
finally ordered to fire buck shot, and
the command was promptly obeyed. 4
boy Eamed Knox who was gong on an
errand was shot dead. Many persons
were wounded, some of them seriously.
ne rlOt nau now reached Sucn proper
tons that IL was deemed necessary TO
call out the militia. The rioters were
apparently awed by the appearance OF
the soldiers, and soon dispersed to their
homes. Fighting was resumed, how
ever, to-day, and the police were again
compelled to fire upon the mob. Many
OF the rioters were wounded. Suisse
quently the;mob wrecked several build
ings, and the military were again sum-
mOned. Many policemen were badly
cut by missiles thrown at them by the
rioters. FOrty-six arrests have been
made. The police and cavalry are pat
rolling the streets.

says: Members Of the Texas delegation
in Congress who represent the border
district. do not spprehend any serious
trouble rs a result Of the present feel
ing Of indignation among their consIi-
tuents. owing to the murder of Fran
cisco Rasures, by Mexican authorities,
or from the detention cot Editor Cut
ting. Representative Lanham, who
represents FL Paso district. said that so
far as he knew. the matter was in the
hands of the state Department entirely.
and would be settled through regular
diplomatic channels without the slight
est effort at interference being made by
the people of El PasO and the surround
ing country
In regard to the murder, he thought
that while the people in the immediate
vicinity of Pedras Vegras were doubt
less indignant, he apprehended little
actual trouble. other than the action
taken by the United States government.
Other members are opposed to the idea
Of Texas taking upon herself the re
sponsibility of Furnishing Mexico for the
Outrages. The murder of Raswres in
itself, while rendered OF more national
importance by the attending Circum-
stances, was in the opinion of these
gentlemen, only such 3 crime as was
liable to happen az any time either in
Mexico or In any other country, and
all that the State Department can ask
OF the Mexican government Is that the
murderers be punished, aud possibly
for some remuneration to the widow Of
the murdered man for her loss. Repre-
sentative Grain will have q conference
with Secretary Bayard on thu matter
tomorrow.
