ZuLICK,5 BLAST.

ELSEWHERE in this issue will be found the proclamation of Governor Zulick, cautioning the people of Ari. zona not to violate the law in resent, ing the barbaraties inflicted on them by the hostile Indians. The docu. ment has given rise to some very fiery denunciaiion tom the press of the southern part of the Territory, and not without cause, as the proclamation is evidently directed especially agains, the newspapers of that section.
 l, is very easy to sit in the execu. tive office at Prescott, away from all danger of Indian raids, and tell the people they must be calm and law. abiding, and # they will only be pa lient the army will redress their wrongs--in time. It is another thing to be living where the red devils are committing their depredations, mur, dering men and outragiDg women, fearing every day that your own fam
 ily may be. the next victims. It is not much good urging men to be calm and law.abidlas under such cir cumstances, especially when boia the United States aud Territorial anthori.

locate at their capital, where, hiding their real character, they were to en. deavor to ensnare prominent Federal officers with their charms. Of course the proceeding was to be watched by spies, and if there was cause. the par ties were to be arrested and charged with lewd conduct, against which there are stringent Territorial statutes. It is difficult to see in what way this proceeding could benefit the polyga. mists beyond the satisfaction of giv. ing annoy ance to men they probably consider their prosecutors, The on- ly way to treat the matter is to pun ish Mormon and Gentle alike when they commit offences that the statutes declare are punishable. Two wroass never yet made right, and never will, and while it is undoubtedly a mean thing to set a trap to test a mans honesty, yet if he yields to the temptation he becomes a thief and deserves to go to jail.

No Boon That science ha. Conferred

Has been fraught with greater bless. ings than that which has accrued to the malarial-ridden portions of the United States and the Tropics from the use of Hostetter's stomach Bit ters. The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of ofquinine and other drugs 10 etfectually combat the pro gress of intermittent, congestive and bilious remittent levers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frailest constitution, and derived from purely botanic sources, afford, reliable safe. guard against malarial disease, and arrests It when developed. For dis. orders of the stomach. liver and bow. els, for general debility and renal in- activity, It is also d most efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are im- proved by it, il expels rheumatic hu- mors from the blood, and enriches a circulation impoverished by mal-as- similation.

ties have shown themselves, up till now, incapable of protecting the peaceable citizens, who have been subjected to these inhumani,ies.
 We in the northern part of Arizona look at this matter more dispassion- ately than our brethren in the south, because we have been mercifully ex. empted from the Indian atrocities from which they have suffered. Still, it is our opinion that Governor Zu- lick has made serious blunder in is. suing this manifesto. There was no need for it, unless some combined, overt act to violate the law had been committed or men were being organ !lid for such a purpose. But the pub iication of this document has a fea- lure much more objectionable than It's uselessness and stupidity, from the fact that it will do the territory an inCalculable amount of injury with the powers to whom we are looking for redress of these Indian wrongs. The proclamation of Governor is a document that carries weight with it at Washington, and it ought to, tor it IS supposed to contain the deliberate utterances of high official who has all sources of information at his com mand. What then will be the effect of this efusion of Governor Zulick's It will convey to the Government and to Congress the idea that the whole population of this Territory is in a sta:e of lawlessness. That there is danger of an attack upon the peace. ful Indians now on the San Carlos reservation, as means of revenge for injuries suffered by white settlers at the hands of the hostiles. This is not true. But the Governors edict, say ing it IS so, has gone forth. The simplest lie, once started, canno, be arrested, but falsehoods, with the of fcial seal of the Territory attached to them, travel on the wings of the wind. Unless these misstatements are bravely contradicted, the impression of the present condition of Arizona con veyed by Governor Zulick's imbecile proclamation will retard the growth of the Territory for years. and place vexat'ous obstacles in he way of put. ting an end to our Indian troubles.

In many instances the opium-eating habit has been contracted through the use of narcotics, prescribed by physic- ians during sickness. Many remedies which claim to cure coughs contain morphia or opium, and it can easily be understood what bad effect they must have on children. The new remedy, Red Star Cure, is entirely free from these dangerous ingredients, and the mass of testimoney which has already been colleced Tn its favor from all parts of the country IS proof of its wonder ful purity and efficacy.

GOOD DYE 1885.

It was a very beautiful Idea that Charles Dickens embodied in his Christmas carol named "The Haunted Man." In this short story, the best that ever ca.me from the pen of the great rlagician of words, he showed that even in the most unfortunate lives, joy predominated over sorrow, pleasure over pain. That memory was always blessing, never a curse. If this Is true of the lives of all sin. gle individuals, it must Le also true Of the broader life of the whole human race, aad each year as 1t passes must contribute its quota of blessings up- on the toiling, seething mass of hu- manity that struggles through it.
 If we analyz. individual cases in any year, curious complications will be met with which will seem to upset this theory, but in the general run It will be found that all things work together for good to them that do their level best. That growth, pros. perity and happinSss to the human race are constantly marching shoul- der to shoulder with old Father Time. I
 Our deadfriend 1885, will not stand out very boldly in the record of the centuries. It was not an Annas Mira. biAs among the cycles that have come and gone since the year the Christ was born. IL was commonplace old year, in which nothing very wonder. ful transpired. Europe has been so quiet that it only had one war, and flat was so smaITtha n was over be- fore most of the people knew where it was located. At home we have had a change of government and considerable change of office holders. After score of years of punishment, the Democrats are again in the ring, with three good years before them to show what sort of fight they can make. While business has not been very prosperous, there has been no hard-felt depression, and throughout, the whole year there has been no very serious disasters, either on sea or land.
 The neurological record of the year presents long array of worthies, ia. nous in almost every domain of hu- man action and thought. The roli is too long to even mention names, al though some of them are among the on the page of history. But there are two that stand out boldly in the van of the silent cayalcade. Vic tor Hugo and Ulysses 5. Grant. The one king among men of letters, who labored for republic of politics as we'll as of thought. The other, a mighty man of war, who became the apostle of peace.
 The curtain has been rung down on the last act of the year of grace, 1885. While some of it's recollections may not be pleasant, and it would seem to be boon to be able to for get them, others are so overfowing with joy that we can all join in the prayer of Dickens "Haunted Man" and say with him, "Lord keep my memory green.'

A BILL is now before Congress to prohibit the use of the mails by news paper publishers who allow the inser. tion of advertisements for lotteries. The postal law passed last session pro. hibiting the use of the postotfice for transmitting money to these institu. tions, has not accomplished the end desired, but if this measure regarding newspapers should become law, it will reduce the status of lotterles to mere local syindlcs.

ANOTHER effort is being made in New York to open the art galleries and libraries to the public on Sunday. The churches oppose it. as matter of course, with some few exceptions. Sectarian preachers that are consign- ing each other to Sheol every day for heresy regarding some dogma, join hands and make common cause when 4 stand can be made in obstructing the growth of humanity from the slavery of animal passions to intel iectual and moral development. By the course they are pursuing the cler- gy are making an unholy alliance with ihe Devil, and helping the business of the Ybjskey shops.

Street Cars in Vienna.

Correspondence of the Baltimore American1
 First they cut the car up into two com partments, one for those who do and one for those who do not smoke. Then the seats are put in after most charmingly original fash ion, with any number of aisles, and finally the conductor, who completes the outfit, is a poem all by himself. His uniform in point of gorgeousness and complexity would serve as an excellent model for a country regiment of militia. And his state of perfect con- tentment is something cheerful to look upon The passengers who travel with him and from whom he collects fares are all about his equals, and while his poIiteness is complete and exhaustive he is in his element and has pleasant time. There is nearly always on board some red checked young person in clined to be sociable and merry when he works his way to her end of the car, and the necessity of thinking every time of some thing new and smart to say to her insures for him that mental activity unknown to the dispirited collector of nickels. There is missing that outraged class of beings which in America is forever taking somebody's number, and in short the life of a car con- ductor in Vienna, while it may not be the most exciting and satisfactory in the world, is certainly not the dullest.
 As in Paris, there is limit to the number of persons admitted, on board; but this can- not be said to be very harmful to the pecuni- ary interests of the company, since the limit is reached when every seat, every aisle and both platforms are packed so full that if one man during the journey were to swallow 8 sandwich the sides of the car might burst out. The fare varies according to the jour ney which you have undertaken. The con- ductor learns where you want to go and sells you tickets, which range in price from one and three-fourth to three and eight-ninth cents

A Pointed Inquiry for Candidates foI
 Jurors.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-District Attorney Maritime and his assistants refused to talk to. day in regard to the alleged discovery of at tempts to influence jurymen in the McQuade case. It was noticed that each jury exam ined was asked. :..tHas anybody approached you about this trial since you entered the court room to day?' Court Officer Lindsay when questioned on the subject admitted that he had received instructions to keep two men out of court and had ordered his assistant to look out for them. He believed one was a lobbyist for Jake Sharpe and the other was connected with lawyers office. He had not been told that they were jury fxers, but sup posed that was the reason for their exclusion. Counsel for McQuade said the bribery story was hoax. Eleven jurors had been ob- tained when court adjourned to-day.
