An Ed1t0f y ERRORS ETaQIcateds
The following items from lato issue
Of the Arizona Kicker, recently estab-
Iiahed weekly IN that very warm terri.
tory, give an idea Of some Of the plcas.
ant episodes in the life Of IN editor in
the Ear West 2
"A Noble Citizen.-On several differ.
Ont occasions we have urged that Jack
Crosby, proprietor Of the Blue Front
saloon, and better known to our people
as Private Jack," be taken to the lone
tree behind the court house and hauled
up to limb. We have given the names
of eleven men who have been robbed and
brutally beaten in his place, or who SC
stated to us, and we have incidentally
referred to Jack as train robbers bur
glar, horse-thief and incendiary.
"Mr. Crosby dropped in to see us last
Saturday. He did not come with Q
bludgeon orrevolver, but as a friend and
a gentleman. He also brought three
bottles of rare old Heniessey, for which
he win accept our thanks. Mr.. Crosby
convinced us that we were entirely mis-.
taken in our estimate of him. He is nc
rough or tough. On the contrary, he
was educated for the ministry, and his
nature is peaceful. He has never struck
a man except in self-defense, and has
been basely maligned by rivals in bust
ness. Before concluding his very pleas
ant call he subscribed for two copies o.
the Kicker, and we suggest that it would
be good idea to make him sheriff nexl
term"
"An Angel in TOWN. Wednesday
afternoon last as we had the office towe
in the backyard and were trying te
soften it up bit with a side stick, Mrs
Judge Wharton made her appearance in
the office and sweetly exclaimed: Peek.
a-boo! I see you hiding therer She
had come to invite us to select soiree
lat her mansion the following evening
Only the leading people of the city were
there, and it was an occasion long to be
remembered. There were music, dane.
ing and cards, and we recited one of oul
poems.
"a few weeks ago we had occasion to
observe that Judge Wharton was an old
bum drunkard and no more fit for the
bench than hog is for heaven. At the
same time we said Mrs. Judge used tc
be waiter girl in st. Louis saloon
and that she could not get into good
society here.
1--WE have discovered that We have
done worthy couple gross injustice
and now wish to publicly apologize
The judge is not only temperance man
to the core, but is one Of the best au-
thorities on legal jurisprudence in the
country. His wife is the daughter of a
New York millionaire and was never in
st. Louis in. her life. The judge has
subscribed for the Kicker, and we hope
this apology, coming as it does from the
heart, may set the egtimable people
right in public estimation" Detroit

The importance Of publishing a disco

at Erie, Pennsylvania. A note was
given for 50, 500 by former member 81

it. 1T was discounted at the bank and
the maker Of the note appropriated the
proceeds to his own use. Being unable
to collect il when due. the bank sued
the firm for the amount. They showed
that his connection with the firm had
ceased before he made the note, but, al

notice previous to that Time, as required
by law. Judgment was rendered ogains

FORT MEADE.

This we'll known military post is stu
atcd one and a half miles east of Sturgis.
The first military camp was established
in the spring of 1876, on Spring creek,
north of Bare Butte. This camp was
called Camp Sturgis,' in honor Of Lieu
tenant Sturgis, killed in the Custer mas
sacre. The present fort was established
in the August following and named after
the celebrated Union general, George c..
Meade. The site is most magnificent
one. On one side rises the foothills of
the Black Hills covered with their dark
pines, while on the other hand stretches
away toward the east the rolling pralr-
les. Bare Butte, just north OF the post,
rises straight out of the level prairie and
stands like some lonely sentinel watch
ing over soldier and citizen alike. The
buildings comprising the post are new
and elegant, and from the lips Of officers
who have seen the majority of the posts
of the country We have heard that Fort
Meade is one of the most desirable loca-
tions in the entire war department. The
post is ten-company post, and at pres
emit is occupied by the Third infantry
(white) and the Eighth cavalry, who re-
Gently moved here from Mcntana and
Texas, respectively. Until May this
post was occupied by the Sesenth caval-
ry and Twenty fifth infantry.
The post requires enormous quantities
of supplies all of which are furnished by
the farmers of the country contiguous
An idea of the amount Of material used
can be gathered from scrutinizing the
following figures: Hay, LOO tons; corn
10000 pounds: oats, 100000 pounds
wood, 5000 cords, and other supplies il
proportion. The original cost of th,
post buildings was s125,000, but eacl
year improvements are made that adj
/ greatly to the beauty and value Of tn
place, Colonel Otis is commander of tn
garrison, The post is the regimenta
headquarters, and as consequence ha
the elegant band Of tho regiment, whicl
adds much to the attractions of the place
Fort Meade is one of the most importan
posts in the Union, and will always b
occupied as long as the government d
sires 10 distribute troops throughout th
north and southwest

British antl-slnve traders while extir-
paling German anti, slave-traders, is
absurd, and would be absurd even if
If it were the Germans and not the
British, who seized their dhows, and
threatened their transit, and worried
their allies at the Court of Zanzibar.
Some risk there may be bn' with
such an object in view as the total
suppression of the sIave-trade, some
risk must he run, and it is not a
great one. The truth is, that with
some politicians among us, jealousy
of Germany and France, as regards
their Colonial extension has risen al
most to a craze, so that they are
ready to sacrifice for it not only the
permanent defensive alliance of all
whitem4n as against all black, but
even the one great philanthropic en-
terprise which has in it no faint of
sentImentality. Stealing a man from
his home in order that you may make
him work without wages by perpetu-
al whipping, is a crime, if there is
such a thing in this perplrxed world;
and if to suppress it we must lose II
chance Of stealing a march on rivals,
we must Just lose it or he shamed be-
fore all the "pubIic opinion" that is
deserving of respect. We by II"
means say that the jealousy is unna-

hibiting, among other things, the
growing immigration of Our own In,
dams from Bombay, hitherto most
successful traders-but utterly and
permanently dpbauches the most en-
ergetic of The Negroes, and the Arabs
themselves, who have a genius for
and adventure, who have
a fascination throughout Africa for
the Negro mind, and who, if their
evil trade were once stopped, would
be the most successful traders, off
GERS, and organisers whom the Eu-
r"peans could employ. W. fail,
therefore, to understand the outburst
of annoyance at Lord S~nliSburv's
willingness to agree to Prince Bis
marck's request What has he done
that is unwise 4? 1t is surely, on
general principles, wise to stand we'll
with the German Government, which
can battle and annoy us at every
turn, especially in Cairo and Con
stantinopIe; and the way TO stand
well with any Government is to AS
sist it when in difficulty It it is ar
gued that this particular difficulty is
our opportunity, Germany being a
dangerous competitor in East Africa,
we reply that there is room for both,
that any German success will enrich
our trade, and that Germany will be
most dangerous if we allow her TO
be beaten. She is not going to stay
beaten, we may rely OF that, to al
low her subjects to be ma%sSacred,
her flag insulted, and her plantations
stopped by insurgent Negroes ; and
her inevitably violent action, if alone,

REACHING INTO THE WEST.
Central Officials Looking Up New
Western Connections.

General Manager Belknap, General
Freight Agent Whitehead, Traffic Manager
Shellman, General Passenger Agent Charl-
ton, Supt. McClintock of the Columbus and
Western, General Manager Sorrel of the
Ocean Steamship Company, Messrs. E. M.
Green and j. J. Wilder, and Henry Frost
of Charleston, have been making trip
over the Goodwater extension to BiT1ning-
ham, and are now in Kansas City. After
going over the Goodwater extension, the
party made tour of inspection over the
Western of Alabama, and other Alabama
lines of the Central system. They in
spected the Columbus and Western railroad
from Columbus to Childersburg, and found
it in tirst-class order.
The party is travelling in General Mana
ger Belknaps private car, and, after visit
ing Kansas City and other points in the
West, they will return over the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham road.
They go to Kansas City for the purpose of
arranging for connections with that line
and for through freight and passenger
rates. 1t is also expected that ARRANGE
ments will be made with the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad officials
for running through line of sleeping cars
from Kansas City to Savannah. Arrange
ments for through freight service between
the above named cities will also be made
with the Kansas City officials.
Upon being asked in Birmingham about
the rumor that the Central and Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham, will form
a combination, Maj. Belknap said:
"There is nothing in it. Our relations
will be only the same toward this road that
we bear to other systems from which we
expect to handle large quantities of freight.
We expect to make a close connection with
their passenger schedule, and will do all
that we can to facilitate rapid freight
transit from Kansas City to Savannah
This will be the shortest route from Birpl-
ingham to New York, as our steamers will
make the trip from the latter city to Savan-
nah in a little more than 100 hours, which
is better than even the fastest freight trains
in this country can possibly make"
Gen. Sorrel has invited Major Lane, of
Birmingham, to be present at the launching
of the new steamer City of Birmingham, at
Chester, on June l. Miss Pauline Caldwell
has been selected to act as sponsor for the
occasion and she has accepted. 1t is now
expected the Central will be running trains
into Birmingham by June |.
