The KID A VERY BAD INDIAN.
Wild Arizona Indians Don't Understand the
Land Laws Of the Whites,


Land Laws OF the Whites.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-The annual report
of Brigadier General McCook, commanding
the Department. of Arizona, has been re-
ceived by the War Department.. General
McCook dwells at length in his report upon
the Indian depredatons in his department.
and particularly on the conduct of "The
Kid" IL San Carlos Apache Indian and q
refugee from the civil authorities. His
escapades. the General says, have caused
much anxiety TO white people living near
the border of the White Mountain Reserva-
tion, as well as TO the Indians who live upon
1t. This Indian killed many persons during
May and June, but several scouting expedi-
tions sent out to capture him, and every
plan and device to entraD this willy savage,
Jailed. The conditions surrounding the
Navajo Indian Reservation. the report saws,
dian Bureau, the army and the civil authori-
ties OF Arizona and New Mexico.
There are 5000 Indians living beyond the
limits of the reservation. They have been
living on the unserviced lands for generu-
tioEs and claim these locations as their
homes. They know nothing of the land
laws, and it IS hard to make them under
stand that they are trespassing outside of
the reservation. in addition, saws General
McCooll they claim that the peop,e were in
full possession OF these lands before any
white men were in the country. and that
they should nave the same rights in the un-
surveyed public lands Us the white men.
The white men deny this claiming that the
unsurveyed lands are for their use only. and
the Indian, having large tracts of land set
aside for occupation, should be driven back
npon them and compelled to stay there.
General McCook suggests that in order to
assist this people. the reservation be divided
into districts and any army officer sent into
each OF these districts to make examinations

THE LAUREATE ANACHRoNIsM.

Hardly any more striking illustration of
the incongruity of royal patronage worthy
the spirit of the Nineteenth Century could
be furnished than the dissension which has
already arisen concerning the appointment
of a successor to Tennyson as poet
laureate. The sum total of the discus
sion so far is that it will be impossible
to name anyone for that position who is
entitled to even second-rate rank in the
worlds list of poets
This is not at all unprecedented in the
history of poets laureate. Indeed, the rule
to have no higher than second-rate poets
in that position has only been varied in
the cases of Jonson, Dryden and Tenny-
son. Such names as Shadwell, Tate,
Whitehead, Warton and Pye as poets
laureate of the last hundred years are
calculated to prepare us for almost any
thing in the line of a new appointment.
The last three nominations have been
made under circumstances exceptionally

THE LATEST SHIFT.

The latest twist of the free trade organs
on the results Of the statistical investiga-
tiOns Of the Democratic Peck appears in
the following editorial deliverance: ''Stat-
istician Peck has produced list of Il, 900
individual cases of an increase of wages
in the building trades, which, Of course,
do not belong TO the protected indus
tries, and which, therefore, owe nothing
to the Mckinley tariff in the matter of
wages"
Perhaps not But let us consider for a
moment There has been a somewhat
fervid contention on the part of Demo
cratic organs that the unprotected indus
tries are oppressed and ground down by
protection. Now, if under the measure
which is assaulted as increasing the pro-
lection the unprotected industries show an
increase of wages, does it not look as if
the Democratic opinion is minus leg to
stand on?
Again the Democratic assertion :hat the
prosperity of the country was hampered
and burdened by the Mckinley act has
been so strenuous that to offer any facts
in contravention of it was treason, especi-
ally in the case of Peck. But are the
building trades of that contrary and ex-
ceptional character which advances wages
when all other trades are dropping? 1t
has not been the experience in this part of
the country, but we suppose that things
may be different in the Democratic strong
holds Of New York.
Finally, if Mr.. Peck's figures have no
relations to the tariff issues, why is he
jumped on by Democrats from one end of
the country to the other, even to the
courts?
