Geronimo is reported as having escaped
during the melee, and doubtless now is
far on his way back to the border and
will continue his dastardly murderous
career without let or hindrance. The
break between the troops allied for the
purpose of exterminating this murderous
vagabond, is much to be regretted, as it
makes it impossible now to catch him on
Mexican soil, the little band of our men
now there having their hands full to
watch the treacherous Mexicans and get
back in safety to the border. Doubtless
the ill-feeling generated among Mexicans
by the demand for Cutting has reached
the troops in the field, and true to their
historic nature OF attacking helpless men,
the Greasers picked this difficulty in Or
der to have the honor of bringing IN
Geronimo and thus be able to point the
finger of scorn at the American troops.
This action of the Mexicans brings the
matter clearly before Lieutenant General
Sheridan for a decision, he being directly
in command of troops in the field, and it
is very likely that he will not stop for
diplomatic red tape when the men of his
command have been treacherously as
sailed on foreign ground where they had
gone by express permission of the assail-
ants Government. There was room for
legal bubbles in the death of Arasures,
and the arrest of Cutting, and the death
of Captain Crawford was patched up on
the worthless words of Mexicans who
connived at its doing, but this unmanly
and treacherous act against handful of
men in foreign country, has no excuse
and calls for immediate punishment. The
blood and treasure annually expended to
keep handful of murderous savages in
check, has long been a sore spot to the
taxpayers of the country, and now it is
likely, the long history of murders and
millions wasted will be terminated with
war. Like many other subjects that
have been tolerated to avoid open rup-
ture, the Indian problem is pushing itself
forward to a position where popular
clamor shall condemn it to war of ex-
tinction, as threatening to the life of the
nation in the western half of the conti-
nent.

PROHIBITION.

Wherever Prohibition has been tried,
it has been failure, and aside from the
legal aspect of the affair it has many OBJ
jectionable features to men of all parties.
Even its strongest advocates cannot, with
truth, claim that it is constitutional or
that it is not blow ut the commercial
laws of the land, but they do claim that
it works wondrous cures wherever tried.
The following from the Hartford Courd,at.
the leading journal of Connecticut,is very
timely just now:
"We had the prohibitory law in this State
tor over sixteen years, and it did not pro-
hlhlt in the towns where the majority was
against 1t. For little time it did, but not
for long. Ii was practically failure Would
it stand any better chance now? If the
majority. of the men and women in the
State to-day wanted q prohibitory law now.
we should have it, and il would do GOOD If
the majority would enforce it. That is the
simple truth. But if a prohibitory law
could be got upon the statute book without
the assent of the majority, and without the
intention of the majority TO live up TO il, it
would be mockery of all the hopes of
temperance people,"
Everybody knows how futile has been
the law in Maine, and how prohibition
has stimulated drunkenness and debauch-
cry there rather than eradicated them.
and Just now Rhode Island is passing
through a similar experiment to that of
Maine and Connecticut. Millions of men
use liquors who never become slaves to
the habit, and be they Republican or
Democratic in politics, they resent the
espionage placed upon their private acts,
when such acts do not conflict with the
law of the land, and for this reason alone,
Prohibition is doomed to defeat in Amer
lea. Local Option may succeed in check
ing the use of liquor at public places, but
no law can ever hold water which aims
to control the private actions of a law
abiding citizen, as Prohibition does.

GERONIMO'S CAPTORS.

Our dispatches from San Francisco
this morning, bring the news that fight
occurred between the Mexican and
United States troops. now engaged in
chasing Geronimo, and that in dispute
over the Indians custody, shots were ex-
changed between Captain Lawton's men
and the Mexican's, killing five of the lat
ter and wounding two Americans. The
news is confirmed by later dispatch to
the Call, and now it is safe to say that
the cowardly killing of Captain Crawford
will at last come up for settlement and
the Greasers will be called to account in
earnest, for their long list of unsoldierly
and cowardly offenses against Americans
who were powerless to help themselves.
