undoubtedly have her here on that date.
It is a great stroke Ut enterprise on his part

kept the wires hot until he perfected all

great actress and her grand company.
Sarah Bernhardt and her histrionic &C.

A ease has been set for trial to-day
to recover $500 damages from Emil
K)uge. John p. Gill brought the
suit. His son John, q boy about eight
years old, was injured by the explosion Of =

The father of the boy alleges that the acci-
dent was due to the carelessness of Kluge in

tiers a general denial to the complaint.

Cattle Thieves.

To the Editor of the Republican;
 The article in morning paper garding the action of the Council in moving a reconsideration of the House bill relative to grand larceny, etc., shows but one side of the sit- uation. The article shows that a S4 burro has ten times the protec- tion that $45 watch has and calls that inequality. So it is in one sense. But 1 would ask the writer to suppose that if from surrounding circumstances 1t was necessary for every man owning watch to hang it on a nail on his front gate on re- tiring and leave it there all night, would he not want watch stealing made pretty severe ofense, and further if 1t would not be simple justice that the man who stole the hod carriers Waterbury should be as severely punished as he who stole the miIlionaire's S250 split second chronometer. Now that is what the law does with the stock thieves. The prospector who, af- ter a hard days tramp, turns loose his burro to rustic on the hill side, goes to sleep safe in the security

Late Saturday night a Mexican was shot and probably fatally wounded at Fairbank by some un- known party. Several Mexicans had been having good time in Wilson Bros.' saloon until it came time to close, when the saloon was cleared. All hands went out into the street and almost immediately fusilade commenced and one of the number fell with two bullet wounds in his body, one in the groin and one in the stomach. He was quickly spirited away by his companions, and yesterday morn ing when the train left for the south he was put aboard with a ticket for Nogales, Sonora. Sheriff Kelton went down as soon as notified, and is Investigating the affair, with the probability of one or more parties being arrested on suspicior.-PrO.- pectUr.

L. G. Jeflers gives the following cogent reasons for free coinage of silver. in the Prescott Courier:
 Up to the coinage act of 1873, history demonstrates that silver bullion was at a parity with gold at 16 to 1, and at premiums over gold at other standards, as the 159 to 1 of Europe, the 15 to of India, made about 3 and 6 per cent. pre- mium, respectively.
 History also proves that England and Germany combined failed to reduce the price of silver bullion ne-sixteenth of one cent until aid ed by the reasonable act of 1873.
 History also proves that England had been endeavoring to produce wheat and cotton in India at such prices as to drive out of European markets portion of our wheat and cotton, and reduce their price in our own markets.
 History proves that from 1875, when the act of treason was made public, to 1890, England has pur- chased our silver bullion at an aver age of about 95 cents per ounce and coin;ng it into rupees for India at about S1 5 per ounce. Giving her about 10 cents an ounce advantage over our producers.
 How can an American claim to be loyal to this government and op- pose free coinage?

 The entire iron works of the Ellis & Lessig Steel and Iron Company, at Pottstown, shut down to-day, throwing FOO men out of employ ment. This lockout is the result of the men refusing a reduction n their wages. The Mckinley bill protects manufacturers, but does not protect their employees from their ayariciousness. If the duty

Smuggling in NOgaIeS.

For some time past the govern ment officials at Nogales have been cognizant of extensive smuggling operations, and in consequence heavy haul of offenders was made yesterday by the Mexican authori- ties at that place. The mode of operating was to ship goods through this country in bond, and the train hands would smuggleivaluable silks, etc., from the free zone on the Mex ican side to the American side, and unscrew the panels of the car, slip the goods into the bonded car and then ship them through the Zona Libre to Hermosillo and Guaymas, and deliver them to merchants in those cities. This has been going on for some time and the officials finally became aware of the modus operandi, and in consequence, four American train hands were arrest ed yesterday by the Mexican custom officers, for complicity in the scheme. It is said that fully twen- tY more are implicated, in addition to the merchants of Hermosillo and Guaymas, who have been re- ceiving the smuggled goods. These latter will be prosecuted, and inter- esting developments are looked for.
 A ludicrous incident happened in connection with the arrest. The yardmaster, powerful American, was arrested by three Mexican off, cers. He was seized by each arm, and the third caught him by the coat-taiIs. As he was near the line, he made a dash for the American side, and succeeded in dragging all three of his captors on to American soil. Here he shook them off, and said that if they did not immedi- ately run back to Mexico he would whip all three of them. They took him at his word and quickly cross ed over into Mexican territory.
 The customs officials from Wash ington, who are now at Nogales in- vestigating the charges against Col lector ofCustoms Christ, have con- cluded their labors and made a re- port to headquarters at Washing ton.

WE cali attention to an article written by Will. c. Barnes, one of our supervisors, to the Arizona Re publican, protesting against a bill before the legislature changing the law relative to grand larceny, par ticularly in regard to cattle steal ing. Before our legislators pass this bill, they should take into con sideration the fact that cattle roam everywhere in search of water and grass, and that it is utterly impos- sible for their owners to keep track of them. One of the greatest safe guards the cattlemen of the terri tory have is the severity of the law in regard to cattle stealing. As IL now stands on the statute books, 1t appears to have but little terror for those who are inclined that way. Remove that law-make the of fence petty larceny. to be punished by confinement in the county jail for sixty or ninety days, and it would have absolutely no terror for this class of criminals. As a rule, those who steal cattle, are of two classes. One, a thief by nature /; the other, too lazy and thriftless to do an honest days labor. Any sen timentalitY that may be urged by those who favor this bill, is as much misplaced as is the sympathy of the eastern humanitarians for the mo- ble red man.

Made a Legal Question.

A Washington dispatch of the 2d says: Chief Justice Fuller to-day announced that the Supreme Court had decided to grant the petition of counsel representing the British government for leave to file an ap- plication for a writ of prohibition in the case of the schooner Seward, libelled for taking seal in Behring Sea. The ruling requires the Dis trict Court of Alaska to come here and show cause why writ should not issue. It was made returnable for the second Monday in April.
 This settles the merely prelimi- nary question of the right to bring the case into court, and the matter now to be settled is whether or not the Court will decide that a writ of prohibition should issue. There must now be an argument of the merits of the Behring Sea contro- versy. In announcing the deter imitation of the Court, the Chief Justice said the argument has taken a much wider range than was neces-

Educated Indians.

Tis trite saying. 'Tis education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined, :" and with a view to having a crop of symetrical trees, the total of$l,- 852,77O was appropriated last year for the education of Indian child ren, and nowit is suggested that the appropriation for that purpose, in order to accommodate 10000 addi- tional children, should be increased. The result of training the Indian twig in an upright position, so far as the West is concerned, has been a signal failure. The result of school bred youths is that as soon as they are returned to their homes they at once become blanketed and breech-clouted Indians, steal and kill with a greater relish bp reason of their semi-advanced civilization. The latest that we have to record concerning the twigs is that teach ing them to write enables them to commit forgery, and as an evidence of that fact two Apaches, Modoc Wind and Seward Mott, are now held in Tucson to answer to a grand jury for the commission of for gery upon Wells, Fargo & Co.'s bank in San Francisco .-Globe Sil- yer Belt.
