GERONIMO NO MENACE.
Globe-Democrat.


Geronimo, one OF the Indians wno
took part in the Inauguration parade.
asked the President TO release him
from his Imprisonment at Fort Sill,
Okla. and to allow him to go TO his
old home in Arizona. The President
refused the appeal, and the papers
in general said that he did rignt.
1'hey Intimate that II the old Apache
shoud go back to his ancient haunts
he would start a blaze OF revolt
among the red men OF the frontier,
and we would nave a rising again re-
sembling those in which Red Cloud.
Sitting Bull Geronimo himself and
other Indians participated in various
parts of the West in the years gone
by.
Those newspapers are asray. The
red men are all on the reservations
now. except those who are wearing
white mems clothes. talking the white
mans language and living the white
mans ways on farms or in towns.
And the number OF the latter is far
greater than is popularly supposed
and II Is increasing faster than most
persons realize. Moreover, Geronimo
himself is in the neighborhood Of 81
years or over All his associates OF
score OF years who are still extRnt
are in the sere and yellow leaf They
would much rather eat and sleep than
| fight.
There would not be the slightest dan
ger in letting Geronimo go back to
his old stamping ground. He would
| find the region SO transformed thai

toregone conclusion. The information
for the past week concerning the
change of mind of Czar Nicholas about
the advisability of peace proposal to
Japan appears TO be fully confirmed.

statements are made indicates that
the government is already In receipt

which Russia can afford to agree
LONDON, March 2h.--From what is
considered reliable sources OF IN.
doubted authority comes statement
today that the end of the japanese
