Caxialo, q prominent rancher, has heen
ambushed and killed by Yaqui Indians
at Siris, near Hermosillo. Gen. Torres
made an effort to secure large number
OF Yaqui Indians to take them TO tha
interior Of the Republic, the governs
ment hoping to stop the Yaqui warfare
by this plan. He brought the Indians
to Hsrmosillo after the soldiers had
killed Verde, an old chief OF the Yaquis
at Hermosillo.
The Indians broke away from 500
Federal troops under Gen. Torres, who
guarded then. AT Siris they rayaped
ranches, stole horses and provisions
and fled to the }aqui River. Several
prominent ranchers we're killed by ihs
Yaquis. Soldiers pursued the Indiana

People are excited at Hermosillo and

After the bill had been girer it's

partisan. IL you have any complaints,
he added, rrefer them to the governor.
Senator Abbott said the detectives

voting for their caucus nominees for

will be an occasion for national observ.

Abraham Lincoln was greats man
Statesman, diplomat, patriot and a

such should reappear in this fair land
and commence their vocation they

proper act In passing law permitting
Adiutant General Hart, upon surrend-
ering the Office which he SO worthily
filed, to retain bis sword as his per-

that he hold the office, Gen. Hart lab
ored increasingly and with excellent
judgment for the interests OF the State

shows the good results Of his labors. 1t

Many people will be surprised to
learn that for about thirty years Hol-
land has had on her hands war with
the Achinese people of the island of
sumatra, and that only receutly have
the Dutch. forces been meeting with
any degree Of SUCCESS. These Achinese
object to being sold to the Dutch
government, and have been resisting
the transfer successfully, by force of
arns. for three decades. The people of
the Philippines have been fighting for
liberty and independence for three
centuriea, aud are now resisting the
proposition that they could be made
subjects of the government of the
United States by virtue of our payment
OF $40, 100, 900 to Spain. Can We expect to
be any more successful than Holland In
,subdulng a people who demand the
right of liberty and self-government, as
did the founders of this republic in
1770?

The House of Representatives at
Dover, Tuesday, passed the bill FRO
yiding for division of the revenue
derived from licenses for the sale Of
liquor. At present all Of this reye-
nue. goes to the State general fund,
but IL tho pending hill becomes law,
it will be divided, one-half going to
the cities and incorporated towns from
which the license money is paid. and
the balance to the State general fund.
That is, the city of Wilmington would
receive one-half of the license money
paid in this city, aad the same would
be the case with every other city and
incorporated town 10 the State. The
wisdom and Justice of this arrangement
is so manifest that the State Senate
should promptly concur in the bill as
it comes from the House.

Extravarant Allowance. n Ken. Count,

Extravagant Allowances In Kent County,
New Castle county, 1t appears, does
not have monopoly OF extray agant
allowances to the sheriff for the board
Of prisoners. Kent county has taste
OF it, according to the following from
the Dover Index:
The allowance made by the retiring
Levy Court to ex-Sheriff Wharton az
sl0, 600, for the hoard and Keeping OF
prisoners, is one to make tho taxpayer
ask himself questions concerning the
Number Of regular prisoners, the mum
Der OF tramps, the time each was con
tined and on what they were fed. II
seems that the ex-sheriff's bill met
with the approval of the court without
question, while the allowances to con
stables and Justices Ut the peace have
frequently been only 20 or 30 per cent
Of the amount claimed. II the OK.
sheriff's bill had received the auditing
and consideration generally given to
DIS OF minor Importance, probably the
court could have discounted some in
stances where saving might have
been made to the county. II this great
increase in cost to the county is the re-
suit OF tho present Tramp law now is
the time to remedy the evil.
An allowances Of $40. 900 for the board
Of prisoners for single year at the Kent
county jail is certainly unusually largo.
II is doubtful il the .number OF pris-
oners ever exceeds fifty. and frequently
IL is less than half of this number. 1t
would seem as though the Kent coun ty
jail officials had adopted tie tramp sys.
tenn that Mayor Boyd of New Castle
found 30 profitable. But it is hard to
conceive how SO many trsmps could be
incarcerated in the Kent county Jail.
The whole subject should be carefully
and thoroughly investigated by COM
mittee Of the Legislature, and a reform
inaugurated The present system is an
imposition upon the taxpayers.

The bill to reduce the war taxes Is now
In conference between the Senate and
House, and thus far there appears to
be no prospect Of an agreement. This
fact coupled with the enormous appro-
priations that are being made, may
leave the bill still in an unfinished
state when the hour of adjournment
comes, and thus maintain the oppres-
sive taxes in their present form until
the next session of Congress.
The main points Of difference are on
the amendments OF the Senate to tho
rates on fermented liquors and tobacco.
The Senate oonierees will insist upon
maintaining the lower rates, ana ac-
cording to reports from members of the
ways and means COMMITTEES aud leading
Republicans OF the House the feeling
In the latter body is very pronounced
for maintaining the original rates. The
Icuse repealed the tax on bank checks,
drafts, bills OF exchange and money
orders. which the Senate restored.
These three items yield about So, 600, O0u
per year, and 1t is probable the House
will be willing to concur with the
action OF the Senate on these in ex-
change for the retention of House rates
on fermented liquors and tobacco. The
feeling in the House against any
further reduction in the beer tax is
very decided, and il the Senate rate be
accepted, 1t will be only after long
