The Indians.

There has been several skirmishes dur
ing the week between settlers and Indians.
Some close calls reported but nd deaths.
At Daly's ranch twas claimed that three
Indian ponies went of with empty sad
dies, but the only surely dead Indian IS
the one killed at Coles ranch. For this
one we can vouch as Thomas Tomsons
Of Phinney, brought lock of the VIC
Tins hair to this office. It VAS some
sixteen inches in length. The sharpest
skirmish Of the week occurred at the
Phinney ranch on Tuesday night.
M. H. Day and eight settlers were at the
ranch. Two men were on picket, at
about nine o'clock the Indians managed
to set fire to tn, corrals. While putting
ont the fire a yolley was fired into the
camp, Mr. Day and Others iell to avoid
thes shots. one party seeing them fall
supposed they had been killed and ran
four miles to the Acorn ranch with the
I report. From here it was carried to
Hermosa and hence to this city; aftel
considerable firing on both sides the reds
decamped. This explodes the theory
that Indians will not make night at
tacks,

Reform.

~
Editor UNION The existence OF gross
corruption in high and low Offices seems
to be a settled fact in the minds OF the
masses. Purihcation OF public life is a
long and deeply felt want. This was
proved at the last election by the readi-
ness with which the people left the
grand old parties and answered to the
battle cry 4'reform,' no matter what
party they trained with. Now to make
this reform amount to anything we
must commence at the bottom. This
reform is like a fire built on top of a
brush heap-if the conditions are not
most favorable in every respect it will
not work down very deep nor consume
the whole heap. The reform from abnye
will remain on the surface, while to make
the farmer is the agent on whom we
must rely to start it effectively.
The root OF all corruption is in the
town rings and in the management Of
party caucuses. So long as these town
rings and in fact the worst elements OF
the parties, are allowed to absolutely
control party politics, SO long will the
publication OF public service and public
life remain a long felt want. I would
say to the laboring element, look each
OF you in your respective precinct, will
you say that the men who manage your
caucuses are respectable or have your
full confidence? How long will you bow
to the party dictates OF men who, as
men, stand pretty low in your estima-
ton? It is matters OF the very highest
Importance that the rascals be turned
out, be they. democrats, republicans or
independents. The rings must be
smashed, the bosses drove to the wall.
But this will not be accomplished until
the farmer stops boasting OF his inde-
pendence and begins acting it out.
There is ample opportunity now for
talking this and other matters between
neighbors and agree on some line Of
action for next season. Cast off all un-
profitable partisanship and 60 at your
task in liberal and independent spirit.
Yours for reform, KRoN1c KICKER.

grow fat, dance and make merry in the

The question is whether these men, the
freest Of the free, the authors OF this
country's liberty, shall assert their
rights and obtain justice, or degenerate
into the condition OF tenants and serfs.
The conditions OF laborin all other in
dnstries have undergone marvellous de-
velopment and changes III the past hun
dred years. The farmer works under
the same stern conditions, perishing in
the midst OF bouudless prosperity, for
others. He has determined to effect q
change in these conditions, and read
just himself on a living basis to the new
civilization.
