JEFFERSON City, Jan. Ex-Governor

message to the legislature.
The message was of unusual length,
giving q most comprehensive review
of the State in stitutions and finances.
In his suggestions in regard to new
legislation, the Governor leans strong
ly towards those measures favored by
the Alliance, and is sound and practi-
cal throughout on all questions.
The Governor notes that the tax
able wealth of the state has increased
304 million dollars, s4 per cent, in the
last decade, while the real value of its
property has been enhanced to a still
greater extent.
A FRIEND OF THE FARMERS.
The Governor says that the wide.
spread discomfort which pervades the
agriculturists of the country is a ma.
tural result of the class legislation
which has been enacted at Washing.

THE ARIZONA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The senior editor is in receipt of circular letter from The Arizona His torical Society, signed hy Charles D. Poston as president, inviting assistance in the collaboration of the early history of Arizona, and especially of this county and section, We heartily commend the object of the society, while regret ting our inability, owing to physical intirmity, to render any material assis- tance. The work of collecting and pre- serving all the incidents of the early settlement and development of Arizona Is undertaken none too soon, as the pioneers of our Territory, those who endured the hardships and overcame the difficulties-and they were many incident to the settlement of new country, are rapidly passing from the scene of their conquest to that un- known country where the finite mind cannot penetrate, and upon the border of which history ceases.
 The early years of Arizona are crowded with occurrences of an inter esting and thrilling nature, many of which have never been related in print and the recollection of which is grow ing dim. We hope that tie work of compiling the history Of Gila county, and particularly of Globe District, may be undertaken by more vigorous minds than ours, capable of giving to it that patient and elaborate attention, which would make the chapter on Gila county among the most interesting In the con- templated history.
 It is also the intention of the trustees tc ada g biographical appendix to the history, comprising the biographies of the pioneers and prominent actors in the early scenes of the Territory, to- gsther with their photographs. It is hoped that the history may be ready for distribution at the Worlds Fpir ir Chicago, in 1892 93.
 Following are the officers snd trus- tees of the society; Chas. D. Poston, President; l.. NJ Lemon, Secretary; William Christy, Treasurer. Trustees; Chas. D, Poston, Maricopa county

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.

A Washington dispatch states that the effort of the War Department to enlist 2000 Indians in the regular ser vice IS not meeting with much success. About the only Indians willing to serve for term of years are tho Chiricahua prisoners at Mount Vernon Barracks, Ala, some thirty-fve or forty of whom are about 10 enlist.
 Arizonans will view this action with q good deal of suspicion and apprehen- sion, notwithstanding the assurance given that these Indians are progress ing rapidly in the path of civilization. The Chiricahuas are the most crafty and dangerous of the Apache tribes, and their show of reformation is very apt to be only simulated in order tode- oeive the War Department and effect their return to their old haunts in Ari- zona and Sonora, Mexico. Their ala crity in enlisting, when Indiais on res eryations throughout the west refuse to enter the ranks, is explainable only up- on the hypothesis that they hope to be returned to the scenes of their former crimes, when they could easily desert, and re-enact their ruthless depredations on citizens of the Southwest
 The story of Geronimo, in the role of sanctimonious sunday school teach CT, is again rung in to impress the peo- pie of the Eastern States, ignorant uf the Indians reyengefui and depraved nature, with the belief that the Chiri- cahuas are wholly regenerated. The story is entirely too gauzy for Ari- zonans to swallow, and a vigorous pro; test should be entered against the re- turn of any of these Indians, in what ever capacity, or under any pretense, to any portion of the Southwest from where they would be able to again reach their old haunts in Southeastern Arizona and Northern Sonora.
