THE INDIAN PRORLERI.

Some days since we advocated the concentrated action of our citizens Tn behalf of the Papago Indians, and ex- pressed the belief that on proper repres- entstions to the powers that be the gov ernment would take cognizance of their wants and do something for them. This statement is borne out by MT. A. Ii. Heinemann, U. $. supervisor ot InoIGn schools, now bere. He is emphatic m his declaration that something must be done by the government or trouble will arise in the San Carlos reservation that in the end may prove more costly than even an expensive prevention. Hereto fore the Apaches have had sufficient wa ter for their crops and, in the garrison stationed at that point, ample market for their surplus product. Both have been taken away and the Indians re- duced to the verge of starvation, the former due to the diversion of the WA ter by Mormon settlers on the upper Gila and the latter through the with drawal of the troops stationed at San Carlos.
 Like complaints from like causes are made by the Pimas and Maricopas on the SacGton reservation. The water has been taken above the reservation, and their rights, of perhaps a thous- and years, ignored. This, MT. Heine- mann is of the belief, will necessitate government inquiry, but just what will be done he does not pretend to say. Ii was, he says, rumoreG that the govern ment had under consideration the send ing of commission of engineers for the purpose of examining the Gila river along its entire course with the view oi determining advantageous points IT which catchment basins could be placed This he thinks will be done. He IS ot the further belief that if private enter prise will build dam at the Buttes on the Gila north of Florence, 6nd will guarantee the Sacaton reservation 6 given amount of water, the government will guarantee to the investors fail amount of annual interest.
 Of course if such thing was done Il would be as good and gilt edged as gol( bonds and money to build a thousand such basins could be had for the mere asking. Just what will be done remains to be determined, but that something should be done is universally conced ed. If action by our citizens, and th' citizens of Florence, will induce tn, government to act they should not bt slow in moving.

a Thrilling Adventure with a Lion

Correspondence Gezeette.)
 YUMA, Arizona, April 12-R. J. Dun, can and pr. Cotter, had quite thrill ing experience last evening. They had been out at Mir. Duncan's mine at the Pot Holes, and on their return were startled by the piercing shriek of 8 mountain lion. The horse stopped and commenced backing, and in the gather ing darkness they could distinctly see the lion very near them by the roadside croucbed ready for n spring upon them. Mr. Duncan by a vigorous clapping of the hands and whlstling succeeded in frightening the lion so that 1t retired. They whipped up the horse, supposing they had seen the last Of him, but 10 their d.smay the horse soon stopped again and ou the other side of the road they saw the lion again crouched ready for 8 sprIug. This time Dr. Cotter joined In the haDd-clapping and it is needless to say they outdid the Salvation Army. The lion again retired but soon returned and, although the doc! or's horse was making excellent time, kept pace with them until they reached the Indian re- servation, about two miles from Yuma, where he was finally frightened away by the barking of Indian dogs. MT. Dun can and the doctor drove the rest of the way without the royal escort, and today are receiving the congratulations of their friends upon thelr narrow escape.

GRAHAM COUNTY, instead oi one good paper TOW has two, and there is no Teas- on why beth should not do well. There can of course, be no great thing in 1t for either one, but St same tine there ls no reason why both should not be pros porous, as each have particular want to supply. They have, however, fallen into the common error of abusing one another and perading their respective shortcomings before a public which knows nothing and cares less of any misunderstanding that may have arisen between them. Our unsolicited advice is, don't do is; don't fritter away your usefulness iu that direction. The coun- try is big enough for beth, the field wide, far reaching and thirsting for oc- cupancy. The Bulletin and the Guar dian are on the ground, both are newsy, well edited and deserving well ot an ex- acting public, but personal differences are uninteresting and tiresome to their readers. Again we say, don't do 1t. Money does not lie in besmearing characters even of newspapers or news- paper men.

THE PHARIsEEs IN TUCSON.

Barrie Libre was invaded Friday night last by band of masqueraders, pretend ing to represent the Phsrisees and Sadducees and his Satanic majesty him. self. They'w went about playing tricEs and practical jokes on everybody, and allowing themselves familiarity with persons and things, which at any other time might bring the offenders to jail A crowd of boys and thoughtless men followed these rounders, laughing and shouting, while the discordsnt sounds Of several untuned instruments made the night hideous.
 Fms performance is the remnant of 8 custom of celebrating the Holy week in Mexico. 1t WAS introduced by the mis- sionaries, with ether physical demonstra- tions, to teach the Indians the mystery of the Passion of Christ, which culmin- ates with the tragedy at Golgotha.
 The enemies of Christ inspired by the evil spirit had succeeded to encompass the destruction of the Just Man, and al the consummation of which, on Mount Calvary, it is supposed that all wicked men rejoiced, and the powers of hell were let loose to devastate the earth. Following the lesson, this state of thinge is supposed to have continued till the rising of Christ en the third day, Sat urday morning, when the powers of evil were driven 10 the seventh pit, and bad men utterly defeated. It was also the correct thing (though this part was not established by the missionaries, but a logical deduction of the people, that after the rising of Christ, proclaimed by the ringing of bells on Saturday morn- ing, to hunt up the mssqueraders who had represented Phari5ees, Ssdduceess and devils, and administer to them good beating, and woe betide those who could be identified and found on Saturday.
 These religious demonstrations, while undsr the control of the missionary, were good object lessons to the illiterate, but they soon degenerated into gen eral masquerade. and so well did they play the role that real disorder and even crimes were committed by the partici- pants between the afternoon of Holy Thursday and the morning of Holy Sat urday. and it actually did appear as if hell had broken loose.
 In consequence of these abuses the ceremony which was known as "Los Fariseos" was prohibited by law. But in remote towns the celebration is ob- served to this day, and the episode of last Friday is the tail end of the fading customs of mission life in the RncieEt pueblo.
 It is authoritsvely stated by old timers of Tucson that once during the celebTa- tion of this performance at San Xavier, a band of Apaches disguised as "Pari seos," joined the crowd of masqueraders, and after doing many deviltries, which were taken as the proper thing for the occasion, ended by carrying of the horses and killing one man and then safely making their escape. Great was the surprise and horror of the good peO- pie when they learned that in their ef- forts to duplicate the great drama of the Passion, they had had real deVi sGmong them and the real sacrifice of a life.

IF Jack the Ripper and the Arizona Kicker were both credited to the terri
 tory we would still be constrained to think that the light uf civilization wes at full flood in the southwest in com parison with the middle age bigctry
 and gloom that hangs low over the state of Tennessee. Hardly @ session of court goes by that men are not dragged 10 jail for con cience sake. The Seventh Day Adventists who claim the ildefeasi- ble right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates Of their own concience have been repeatedly arrest ed and confined in ioathsome jais fer no other cause than not seeing and ana worshiping their divine Creator through the narrow and distorted vision of the state lGwF. Nothing can be more degpicable in the light of the ' neteenlb century than the bigoted and intolerant so called Sunday laws of Tennessee, under color of which schools are closed and good men and women sent 10 prison. Prof. ]. c. Colcord, an adventist and assistant principal Of school of learn ing, at Graysville, n that state, was arrested for having removed a few boards from one place to another on Sunday and, together with many other sober, industrious and pious people, members of the sect referred to, ccm- pelled to suffer the ignomy of arrest; trial and criminal conviction, because forsootn, they dId rot keep holy the so- called seventh day. Laws that permit and sanction such outrages disgrace to any state or statute book.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's letter to the Chicago board Of trede, published in the CITIZEN yesterday, has been made the subject of much adverse comment co lh part Of the silver men, whose fer tile imaginetions eau see everything iD it they wish to see and critise severely thereon. Now, We have no admiration for the financial ideas of the president, inasmuch as under bis views silver is 8 depressed metal, and while it so remains the mines in Arizona must perforce continue silent and unproiuctive, but when such biatherskites as General Weaver cali the letter stupid" and an nounces that the democratic party will be training under the republican ban ner in 1896 because of the predelictions ot tue two tW o parties in favor of gold standard, it gets disgusting. The fellow Weaver is anything and everything for relf. He moved from cne congressional district to an- ether in search of au office and was beautifully left each time. If he now expects to climb to fame on loud denun. cations of the two parties, he will be ae badly left as will the democratic party l in 1896.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND was booked for Q gold speech in Chicago in order to counteract the silver element.

 "1f ali the silver delegates would bolt from the republican convention when a gold standard man is named, as all gold delegates will surely do from the demo- cratic convention if silver man is named, we could not have a more for tuuate situation for us.

IN England, says the Denver Repubii- can. the Bimetgllic league has raised a fund of s25O, 900 to propagate literature favorable to the rehabilitation of silver, and the Bimetallic league of Germany has recently agreed to raise a fund of S5OO,000 for the game purpose. The bi- m9tallists of the United States should do likewise. The goldites have the Rothechilds and other bloated bond holders to draw on for any amount they may need to sustain the single gold standard heresy, and they are spending money very freely just now to deceive benighted people ID the east to continue their unwise and upjustifisble opposI- tion to the reopening of our hints to the unrestricted coinage cf silver at the ra- tio of l6 to l. We have no doubt that If proper arrangements were made a large fund could be raised to spread the gospel of bimetallism in this country, and we hope that steps to accomplish h that purpose will soon be taken.
