Editing a ncwspaiwr is a very nice bu-i- nci, says a cpn'emporary, and tn-FC w know nothing about it consider it a very easy buMncM. If we publish jikes people siv wc are rnttlcheidol, nd it 'irnit jokes, we are n old fossil. If we publish nrii-inal matter, they blam; ts tor not gir- ing selecti.'cs, folk t-iy ve arc Isxy lr not writing something they had not rend in some other psper. Ignorance of what good editing is, people iruigine tho getting up of selected matter to b- the easiest thirg in the worl 1 to do, when it is reilly the nicest w.uk on a pnper. If tbey find the editor with scUscrs in Land, ther are sure to say, "Elt, that's the way they get up original matter, eh!" accompanying their new and ritty iuesoots with tn id'o ic ill mile. The facts ire, tht the inttrest, the mo- j rality the variety anu usefulness of ft pafer depend ia n, small degree upon it selected matter, nnd few men arc capable of the position who would r,ot le able to write many cf the articles they select. A sensible editor detires considerable tclicteil matter, becau-e he kooRS that one mind cannot make a good a paper a five or six. If f give a man a complimentary notice, we are cnured for being partial, and if we fail to give complimentary notice, we are informed that we are a luv If we insert articles that please the ladies the men are jealous, and if wa do not cater to the wishes of tho ladice, the paper, in the one' opinion, is not fit to make a bustle of. If we remain in our cfii and tend to oar bu ness, folks say we are too proud to mingle with our fellows, but if we go out tbey say we never attend to our business. If we wear old clothes it is insinuated that business is bad, and if we wear good ones they say wc are extravagant. A newspaper and a newsptper editor that people don't talk about and sometime abuse, aro rather poor concerns. The men and business that an editor sometimes feels it a duty to defend, at the risk of making enemies ot another cla-s, are of the very first to show ingratitude. The editor who ex expects - pects expects to receive much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mistake; but be should go ahesd and say what he conscien conscientiously - tiously conscientiously thinks right witboutjregard'to the frowns of grumblers.- Journalist.

A Washington telegram to the Chicago Herald says: Curti) C Bean, delegate in Congress from Arizona, conversing to-day con cerning the capture of Oeroniraa and his band of renegade Apa.hcs, said that the proper plan to pursue on the part of the military authorities was to turn over these Indian to civil authorities for in dictment and trial on charges of murder and he entertained no doubt if this course were pursued they would be brought to speedy justice at the hands of courts and juries of Arizona. General Crook, he said, had no power to admin administer - ister administer punishment to these Indians; they were prisoners of war in his hands, sub ject to whatever disposition might be determined by the President. They had murdered about one hundred and seventy people, and destroyed a large amout of property since they broke out of the San Carlos Reservation and went upon the war-path. Geronimo chimed to have grievances and it was possible that zffairs at the reservation had not been wisely admin istered in various particulars,but the fact remained that these Indians had ruth lessly murdered innocent persons, out outraged - raged outraged women and destroyed helpless children, and the blood of the murdered cried aloud not only for vengeance and retribution, but for such further relief as would protect the citizens of Arizona, and neighboring territories from a repetition of such crimes.

"inMIlTII ABBSSAD" . Sin Francisco, February 16, i3S6. Editor Journal-Miner: Things are quite lively in this part of the great Paciric coast moral vineyard of the Lord, and I find several old Prescottites enjoy enjoying - ing enjoying themselves here in a subdued soit of a way that is creditable alike to them themselves, - selves, themselves, to Prescott and Ariiona ge -erallj-. I met Hon. Morris Goldwatcr a ff.w days age. He is no chicken here, but says he pines for the pines of Yavapaii and vill undoubtedly return there wi h delight in a few days. Mr. George Bow Bowers - ers Bowers teems to be enjoying himself immensely, and no wonder, for with a dividend paying mine, a handseme, new wife and nothing in particular to do but kill time pleasantly, ought certainly to be enough joy for any man. Sol Lewis still works hard for the interests of Prescott and Phenix. H. H. Noyes is operating in lands with ex-SecreUry Van Ar man and enjojj a measure of good health that he never did tn Arizona. ) . M. Wilson, Mrs. James Baker, Len Hale, Johnny Ellis, Mrs. Kendall and Miss Lulu, and several other Prescottites are sojourning here. The entire state of California seems in a ferment about the Chinese, and ever)' locality in the state is boycotting them. The result is that this city is filling up with Chinamen from interior towns. The remedy seems as far off as ever. No real practical solution to the Chinese question has been suggested yet. They are here and the six companies must feed and clothe them or send them back to Chinx If some of the land leagues would raise money to charter cars and send a few thousands to Boston and other east era citiis it might afford some relief and possibly effect the desired change in public sentiment concerning Brother Beecher's "Little Brown Men," whom he so dearly loves. The recent copious rains throughout California have thoroughly soaked the ground, and the great San Joaquin val valley - ley valley will produce such a crop the present season &s will astonish the world. The immigration to California the present season promises to be greater than at any time since the days of '49 and '50 and the immigration promises to be of a character which will be of much profit tc this state, as the people are mostly land seekers and desire to make their homes far away from the land of cyclone;! and blizzards. The weather for the past week has been most magnificent, the sun shining every d&y with great brilliancy and the air as soft and sweet as could be.

A Manias Match. Old farmer Pettcngil went into the bouse one day and caught the hired man hogging Mrs. Pettengii. Tho farmer said nothing and went into tho field. After tinaer ha wanted John for something, bit John could not ba found. He went, at last, to John's iojui, where he found the lattei on his knses pack packing - ing packing his trunk. 'What is the matter, John?" said Mr. P. "Oh, nothing," said John. "What are you packing your trunk fori1 'I'm going away." "Going away I What are you going awsy fori" "Oh, you know." "No, I don't know," rejoined Mr. P. "Come, give me a reason for your sadden desire to go away!" "Well," meekly replied John, "you saw what I was doing this morning." ' Oh, pshaw," laughed Mr. Pet'.engil, "don't be foolish. If you and I can't hug the old wemsn enough, I'll hire another man." The above little incident reminds us very iiiuch of the relations between Democracy, President Cleveland and the Republican, party. The Democracy, Mr. Pettengii, has frequently caught Mir. Pettengii, or Cleva, land, hugging the hired man or mugwump. Instead of being angry at Cleveland, the Democracy say to Cleveland, "if you and I can't hug mugwoii p enough, I'll hire another man to help us Texas Sittings.
