If one could henr his mother's voice again, And stand beside his mother's knee again, And be again a child. Simple and mild. Absorbing faith as earth receives the rain; Hi us only could he shake the feeuntr on That he had learned too much, or not enough. Cold is the air of reason, though serene; Chill and unsatisfying, though serene. Better for life and death Yvere simple faith, That ample evidence of things unseen.

But we have eaten the forbidden fruit, Nor knew the tree was bitten at the root. Judge Porter on the Indian Question. An immense concourse of cit izens from the city and adjoin ing districts assembled at the plitza last evening. The meet ing having been culled to order, Judge W. A.

Hancock was elected chairman, and (J. H. McNeil and T. F. Hopkins secretaries Judge Porter addressed the meeting, and most severely condemned the policy followed towards me Apaciies.

me large tribes who are peaceable and trying to sustain themselves by their industry, are persistently ignored by the government. (Jases have been known in when they could not have the aid even of a physician, while the smallpox was raging among them. But the tendereat care and largest donations are dailv neaped upon the Apaches. They are natural and educated bandits Before the whites came, they robbed thePinias. the Maricopas.

General took knew their habits and knew how to deal with them. lit nun tea mem line savage animals, from every plain and cave and mountain top, until tney cried: xou lonow us everywhere wo surrender." What does the Government do? Does it place them upon level plains, where under properguard, ihev may work said sustain them- elve? It gives them a set-lion nearly as large as Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the f.tirest. richest, loveliest in ourTerritory, and here thev are allowed to at will, in idleness, while food and blankets -and luxuries are carried to them in abundance. Passes arc issued, by which they are allowed to roam beyond oven these boundaries, and no one knows where they are until the i.iy of counting comes.

If we tie to feed them and maintain them, wny also give them such Think ot the hundreds of thousands of poor in ur large cities, to whom one day spent in ihe pure air and glorious surroundings of such a spot as ban Carlos would be heaven, and these savages are allowed to roam in idleness. Are they grateful? Have they appreciated all this kindness? The slightest real or pretended discontent, the insane mutter-ings of some "Medicine Man," turn them into fiend-, whose atrocities make the world shud der. They are undoing the ef-'r feels of our best efforts, they have now again occasioned enormous expense to the Government, unto.d injury to the Territory, and their path is strewn with homesteads smouldering in ashes, and with the mutilated remains of their victims. Our people feel that they tve endured this long enough, the Government must right this wrong We insist that they be removed from our borders. It is the tin a'limous will of our people.

If interested agents and contractors object, let thetrt go with the Apaches. Assembled here, we appeal to the Indian Department at Washington to correct this great error, which is working so much injury to our Territory, and prevents our permanent peace and prosperity. Herald. Pa. what is the difference be tween civilization md barbarism?" "Civilization, my son, is Mowing your enemy to pieces with a bombshell at it range of four milys.

Barbarism is knocking his brains out atturin'd length with a brutal club!" Sitting Bull's home is to be located in Dakota, where he will chew reservation beef and be treated in all like a common Indian. It would be a pity to kill him, and yet it would be cheaper than keeping him. Bui, then, if we keep Guiteau, it would he a burning shame to kill an "Injun." Miner. EDITORIAL NOTES. "Why do the heathen rage, and the neoole imagine a vain thing." Mr.

H. II. Warner, of War ner's Observatory, Rochester, N. ias sent us a card for publication, asking for essays upon com-etography. As Mr.

Warner forgot to state where the hill is to be sent, we shall hardly publish it this week. An institution that can afford to offer prizes, (and not pay them, except by special award to members of its own faculty), can afford to pay publish ers. The September number of the Children's Museum, an illustrated monthly magazine for the young has been received. It is filled with bright and interesting mat ter, calculated to instruct, amuse and refine the minds of both old and young. It is published by B.

The loth of September being the anuivorsary or Mexico's in dependence, the Mexican popu lation of Pinal celeoraled the day last Thursday night by firing cannons and having a general good time. Drill. Somebody at Pinal City must have a defective calendar, or else the people of this section are ter ribly behind hand.

The Mexican population of this county have beeu (aught to believe that the lGth was the day on which to 'whoop 'em up." Judge Rader and mule made a trip up into the mountains on Bear Creek till week. The Judge reports catching and eat ing lots of hsh, but could not bring any home on account of the hot weather. Colton Semi-Trop ic. And now an anxious and deep ly interested public demauds the mule's accouut of it. The Florence Enterpiise does not seem to have any feeling for the country members of the ci'dft.

It ruthlessly sets forth its good things, and leaves the rural delegation to languish. Here is whit it says, and our readers can judge of the feelings: Yesterday was a sore of gala day with the Enterprise force. In the forenoon Charlie Beck with who always has a warm spot in his heart lor the typo, dropped in on us with halt gallon ot hue old claret and six bottles of sparkling Milwaukee, anil presented them with his compliments. An hour later Andy Hall drew two bottles of Milwaukee on us and called for a surrender. nothing like being a printer in Florence.

You don't get as rich is Vanderbilt, but, oh Lord, the fun you have! The presj throughout the tst fully endorses the indignaut protest against the present Indian policy which is ringing out from every part of Arizona. Sentimental nonsense about the "noble red man" jjeems forgotten in the conviction ihrit such a demand for the removal of the Apaches as Arizon: is now making- is well founded. We hope toTsee thisagitation continue until he desired changes take place. The holding of meetings, passing of resolutions, mav not slay any Apaches; but it will create a public sentiment throughout the country which will agitate the matter until our demand be granted and perma nent peace be secured hy the removal of the Apaches from Arizon i.

Frank Middleton, who was shot by an Indian at his father's ranch last week, is getting along nicely, and considered out of danger lie had a close cad, indeed the ball entering i.ear the heart and passing out of the shoulder. He has the satisfaction of knowing that there's onej "good" Indian in that section of country. TLe second shot sent him to his nanny hunting ground.

uiooe Chronicle. A number of Mexicans are eng gaged in cutting hay on the mesa norm of town, while between Benson and "Contention a num ber of ranchers have their mow eisand rakes at work. It is cal culated that thousands of tons of hay will be. cut and sold this year lrom the open unoccupied lands, as every little "swag" aud opening on the mesas aud in the valleys is covered with luxuriant grass. Already the price of hay has fallen from $20 to $6 per ton.

There is hardly a country in the world where such largequantities ot hue wild hay may be cut vis in southern Arizona. Nusrget. Domentic Bliss. Judge Pitman was in the habit of slipping his watch under his pillow when he goes to bed. One night, somehow it supped down.

and as the Judire was restless it worked its way to the foot of the bed. After a bit, while he was lying awake, his foot touched it; ieic cotu; ne was surprised, scared, aud jumping from the oed lie said: "My gracious, Maria, there's a toad or something under the cover. 1 touched it with mv foot Mrs. Pitman gave a loul scream ind was on the floor in an in stant. "Now don't go to hollering and wake up the neighbors," said the Judge.

"You get me a broom or something, and we'll fix the thing pretty quick." Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave it to the Judge with the re mark that she felt as if snakes were creeping up and down her legs and back. "Oh, nonsense, Marial Now turn down the cover slowly while 1 hold the broom and banjr it.
