This ias. The 1 be very ed. The inactiveThehk will very probably be some music In Uncle Sam’s military household I before this Geronlmo business Is fairly settled. Miles’orders were to leave the old hostile in gome secure military fort in Arizona. Miles brings him on toward Florida and Is halted bere.his excuse for disregarding his orders being that Geronlmo wag not captured, but surrendered conditionally. W hile the war department is fuming over this contremps. Cap. Lawton comes forward and denies that Geronlmo surrendered conditionally. Lawton says that Geronlmo was captured by him without conditions,and Lawton ought to know as be was in command of the troops that ellected the capture. The whole business is mixed.That there is something crooked aboutthis whole Geronimo business is quite evident to the people of the southwest. That his treatment by the United States authorities is not according to his deserts is equally manifest, and the outcome of the whole matter will be awaited with no little interest. The people who have been terrorized for years by this murderous hostile, and the government so openly delled should not permit the wretch to go unhung. The hanging of this monster would do more to quiet the border and prevent future raids upon the whites than any other course that could be adopted. Cap. Lawton’s assertion that the bam! was captured without conditions certainly Is entitled to credit, in the absence of any documentary evidence to the contrary. Theleniency of the government In this case Is not called for, and if unduly exercised will have no good efl'ect upon the border tribes or the frontiersmen. The white settlers have a right to the protection of the government. And unless there were express stipulations, of an unmistakable character, that Geronlmo and Ills bucks were to be spared their lives, they should be made to pay the forfeit of their own heads for the hundreds of lives they have taken.REPlA dot)ted Byt1on 1^ ■ —-Thk colored citizens of Bexar county have preferred an indictment against the fusion committee of two years since,In hint tliat* .11.1 nnt Pnnfiim th« ridhtaThe republl Uciii assembl* the national i approval of t tonal repaidUeftiiitiK toupon state Is. solves as folk The people of power, we legislature tlt; ratification ( to our orpam may ask sue tloned by a h with the bill lt;That we an state or lar» it out from ii That we an quirinK the c roads of I he f to be woi *(h1 valorem tax 'Mint we ar« trades and pi That tile re in favor of I fullest extern ment and the largest app state? for that endorse ami i lire known a United State) county biipel That we affl oeptanoe of t ham Lincolr December, H tlons of the i bor, and alll capital itself Second—T» principles si dent a »|uartlt; alll l ined the the laborerU we will do all cl pies effectl erninentfl.Third ThR to share in tl created, and hannoui/.e t and make th lion as equal other.Fourth—th ploymcnt of works of thb Fifth—We iviet labor in passage ol s» victs within i the state.Sixth -Tha employing* u free labor of competition Seventh—'I laws for the iiiK between by t hem ai strikes and s Eighth - W imr the im|x and demand Ninth—We
