JOHN C , FRIWDHT , of
Arizona , who by the way has spent
most of his term ns governor of Ari'
zonnnmong the bulls nnd l > on on
Wall street , has boon interviewed by
n Now York TVi&iote reporter , con
cerning his views about the Indian
outbreak in Now Mexico. In response
to the question whether there nccins
to be a probability that the Indian
troubles may not-extend into Arizona
And Sonorn and filially precipitate n
conflict with our Mexican neighbors ,
General Fremont is reported ns say
ing :
"I have only recently addressed n
iottor to the secretary ot the interior
on the subject , and , therefore , have
name hesitation in talking about it.
The whole country of Arizona nnd
surrounding territory of southwestern
Colorado , Now Mexico , Sonera and
Chihuahua Is mountainous and very
favorable to Indian warfare an the
experience of the last thrco years with
small bands shows. If tno fighting
should at any time assume larger pro <
portions it would require n disproportionately <
portionatoly largo force , and time , I
and loss of valuable lifo to end it , beside -
side * the backset to the prosperity of
the territories and North Mexico.
As the irreconcilable Indians
occupy the territory of both
republics , and both are equal *
ly interested in the sub-
jet , I have suggested to the secretary
of the interior the expediency of an
arrangement with the Mexican gov
ernment by which the peninsula of
Lower California might bo used as a
reservation into which to gather all
the Apache tribes. The poninculn is
700 miles long , the gulf on one flido
and the ocean on the ether , with a
breadth at its northern end on our
line of only about 150 miles. Alter
nating posta on either side
of this line by the respective
governments would effectually
bar the Indians from all egress , and
within those limits they could bo easily
controlled and taught to work and
nmdo self-supporting. There wore
missions on its Pacific Coast , and in
the early history of that part of the
continent it is recorded that Catholic
missionaries who crossed' the culf
found the gulf shore well populated
with Indians , who raised grain and
different fiuits. "
General Fremont is perhaps as com
petent authority on the Indian prob
lem in Now Mexico and Arizona as
any other man in this country , but
the question naturally arises , why is
ho away from his post of duty as gov
ernor of Arizona while drawing pay
for that service , particularly at this
critical juncture when his presence is
most needed ?
IN no section of the country will
the death of President Garfield bo
moro seriously deplored than in the
south. The southern people , with
out regard to class distinction , have
watched the president's condition
with painful anxiety. President Our-
field has enjoyed their confidence nnd
respect in an eminent degree. The
business people regarded him as a
safe , fair man , under whoso adminis
tration the country would have pros
pered and the lingering animosities
between the novth and south would have
bent buried. This view is sustained
by the tone of the press throughout
the south , as also by the resolutions
of sympathy adopted at conventions
nnd public meetings in almost every
state. Even in Texas , the refusal ot
the governor to indorse the proposi
tion of Governor Foster for a day of
national thanksgiving in the event of i
the president's recovery , mot with a
perfect storm of indignant repudiation
from men in all stations of lifo.
All this speaks well for the return
ing pariotism of the south , and , will ,
in all probability go far toward cre
ating a moro fraternal fooling botwoeii
the two sections.
TIIHHK is no doubt that there has
boon a good deal of humbug and
fraud connected with the Ends jetty
job at the mouth of the Mississippi.
The Cincinnati C'ummcrciul has con
stantly and persistently exposed and
denounced this imposture. Threats of
prosecution for libel are mut by the
Commercial in the tallowing fashion ;
The professional jetty men in Now '
Orleans threaten , through the Demo
crat , to bring a libel suit against the
Cincinnati Commercial. Wo commend
this idea. If they bring suit they will
enable us to prove some things legally
that the country should know.
The government is paying for a
channel of thirty foot in South Pass.
The water is not there. There ro
about twenty-four and one-half t ,
and this result , which opens the
mouth of the .Mississippi to a certain
extant , in duo the improved system of
drodging.
A party of competent persons re
cently sounded the channel through
South Pass , and found twenty-five
feet of water the channel having
that depth being in uomo places so
narrow that shins could not pass in it
without one or both grounding ,
THE roso-colored bulletins sent out
by the doctors are now explained by
Murat Halstoad , who sustains inti-
I mate relations with the family of hoof
president. In Thursday's issue of
the Commercial Air. Tfulsoad ( says ' ,
concerning the deception practiced by
the doctors ;
"It should bo remembered that the
bulletins hayo often , if not uniformly ,
boon prepared rather for the presi
dent himself than for the public
The doctors have had to deal with > a
patient of extraordinary brainpower ,
of clear 'nnd
penetrating intelligence ,
and of singularly sympathetic nnd
sensitive nature ,
Very early in the case the president .
noticed the preparation of bulletins ,
protested against it as unucscssary , and
then submitting , became the closest j
reader , through others , of the ofllcinl
publications abouthiicor.dition. Theco
is no doubt thin somewhat accounts
for the peculiar strniu of cheerfulness
in the bulletins.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
Tlio result of the French elections
is n decided victory for the republi
cans , This was expected. The past
elections of the councilors general
showed that the republican gains
would bo great. The withdrawal of
Ilouhor showed that the llonnpartists
gave up hope , while , ns already bo *
fore mentioned , thu conservatives
were hopeless at the outset. Thus
far , all of the expected results have
come forth The Donapartists have
lost oven moro than was expected.
Neither have the socialists and revo
lutionaries won their boasted victo *
ries. In many nrrondissemcnts the
opposition candidates only served to
increase the republican votes. The |
result is a triumph for the republicans.
The gain has been largely that of the
moderate republicans and of the re
publican union. Their gains are
made in the country and show how
careful the French peasant is in his
exorcise of the electoral powor. Ho
is conservative and nt the same time
liberal. The general result is favora
ble to M. G.imbotta , in spite of the
apparent check which ho received in
Paris. Thin is the essential point in
the election. It proves that ho is re
garded with favor , but not with per
fect confidence , which thu mass of
rural Frenchmen do not give to a
man until ho'lias boon tried long and
severely. M. Uambottn can afford fo
wait. An for the Paris elections , in
them is found the least hopeful sign.
Elsewhere the gain has been for true ,
republicanism In Paris it has been
for the radical element , and out of the
power of Parisian radicals disturb-
nnccs have nlwn3's grown. But they
are not likely to net with any greater
effect than that of more obstruction-
isls.
The success of the French in Africa
is the result < f n course of unscrupulous
diplomacy , which is said to have had
_
its beginning n.s far back as the ccsJ
sion of Alsace nnd Loraine in 1871.
The curious part of.tlio proceeding is
that all the powers seem to have been
perfectly unconcerned while the
French government were filching from
the porto hia richest tributary prov
ince. The porto appealed to England
as it had once before , but this time
there was no response. British
statesmen discussed the situation , but
thora the matter ended , and the
French were allowed to bring their
troops within ten miles of Tunis and
French rule. This result was brought
nbout by working on the fears of the
boy , and by positive threats of depo
sition should t ho refuse to accede to
the harsh terms. It is stated on good
authority that ho was given only a
few hours to make n decision , nnd
that the business nature of the trans-
notion was enforced by the military
menace. All this was in direct con
tradiction of the usagoa batween na
tions , and was n high-lmndod outrage
The real purpose of the French was
1 thinly veiled under the plea that bor
der raids of the Krqumira must bo
suppressed. This pretense was sed
ulously kept up by 4ho French cham
bers , and was only abandoned when
the game was secure.
The Chili-Penman war has vir-
I tually ceased , though it has by r10'
moans arrived as yet nt a satisfactory
conclusion.
Non-commissioned officers in the
J French army have heretofore boon
| virtually prohibited from entering into
wedlock , but Gon. Farro , on the
ground that recent legislation opens a
real career to such oflicors , has issued
a circular abolishing the prohibition.
Permission to marry is given to ofli
cors who have more than five years'
engagements , and whose prospective
wives have at least 5,000 francs , or an
income of 250 francs n year. Such
wives , however , in the interest of dis-
, arc forbidden to open cafes 8or
billiard room * ,
The recent improvements in the or
ganization of the Russian army liayo
extended to the food as well ns the
arms and discipline of its soldiers ,
and the days rations of n Ilussian pri
vate of 1881 , rough us it is , would
have been thought absolute luxury by l
his half-starved predecessor of the
hoa
last generation. The farinaceous ra
tion in time of war is a little over two .
pounds of hard black biscuit per day ;
in peace , it is the eamo amount of
wheat or barley ilour and buckwheat
gruel , thi > latter being much esteemed
by the Russian peasantry. Four days
in the week ( the ether three being
fasts by the rules of the Greek church )
each man receives n half pound of
meat per day , exclusive of bone , with
n certain nmoiint of tea , vegetables ,
ftpirits , Ac. Few men , however , nro
Kit independent of supplies ns the or
dinary Russian. The military annals
of the Circassian war preserved the
fame of n regiment which fasted for
| three days and fought n battle on the
fourth. A still moro curious instance
occurred during SuvorofTs Swiss
campaign in 1709. When the half-
starved Russians poured into the vil
lage of Andcrmatt , of whoso famous
cheese thoj had heard BO many ntorios ,
tlieir first proceeding was to devour
the contents of n largo store filled
with what they supposed to bo the
dainty in question , nnd then , falling
upon the French , they beat them back
across the Rcuss. When Soraroff ,
after the battle , praised the valor of
bis men , ono of them modestly at
tributed it to the "good checso" which
they had eaten , and triumphantly
displayed the half-gnawed remnant of
n bar of yellow soap.
. Statistics of the Jewish race , which
have , , been prepared in Germanyplace
the . total number of Jews now living
in thb world nt only 0,139,602 , which
is considerably less than twice the
population of the largest city in Eu
rope. Of these 0,180,000 Jews , more
than five-sixths , 5,225,050 , , live in
Europe alone ; 502,006 live in Africa ;
182,817 in Asia ; 20,000 in Australia ,
and 307,802 in America. America
thus ranks third in the number of
her JOWB , but both she and Africa ,
which ranks second , nro a long dis
tance behind Europe. In fact , accord
ing to thcso figures , there are are
moro Jews in lloutnania than in the
whole of America , and nearly as many
as there ore in Africa. They number
in Rounmnia 400,000 , nnd comprise
7.44 per cent , of the population ,
which ! is the largest percentage re
ported for any state. European Rus
sia is , next , with 2,552,594 , or 3.75
siP
percent. < , and Germany next , with
520,575 , or 1.22 per cent. Great
Britain rtnd Ireland have only 68,300 ,
or 0.20 per cent. , nnd last on the list
" . Llorwny , with 34 , which shows a
percentage that secures Norway well
enough against serious trouble from
nnti-Jewish ] agitation.
In forty years England and Wales
have gained above 10,000,000 of
inhabitants , while Ireland has lost
3,000,000. , In density of population
of England and Wales is about 440
persons to the square mile , which is
only thirty less than Belgium , , the
most . densely populated country of
Europe. In England nlono the density
,
ty at the close of the reign ot Queen
Elizabeth was 83 to the square mile ,
now it is 483. In density the three
kingdoms Boom to hbvo increased in'a |
uccado from 268 to 290. The decrease
in Ireland shows the poverty of thai
part of the kingdom as compared will
the remainder , and proves that then
is somothii f radially wrong both in
its social'nnd political well-being ,
While the entire kingdom exhibits a
great progress in material resources
sources , anf increase of wealth , and i
gradual advancement in the aggrcgat
prosperity , Ireland exhibits want
circuiuscribonicnt of occupation nnd
if not an actual decrease in wealth , n
most anomalous state of things as re
spects its distribution.
The Jewish persecutions in Ger
many and Russia continue "It
sounds"says the JEttnituj 1'ost , "like
reading a page from mcdimval history
to note the 'marching ' ot re von hun-
drodj rioters through the streets of
Stetlia crying death to the Jews. " In
Russia the government is investigat
ing the atrocities committed in May
at K'cfT and Elizabethgrad , and the
imperial official suggests that there
are too manyJews outraged in trade
in the villages thereabouts , and orders
an "adjustment" which implies the
expatriation of thousands more of the
unhappy people whose thrift mid tern-
temperance have made them formidn
bio rivaltf in trade.
' Naturally , intelligent Israelites
throughout the world are considering
the remedy for this anti-Somitio up
rising. So far as Germany in con
cerned the question is essentially
political and temporary. In. Russia
the situation is intolerable. The
endurance of the Russian Jews is
marvellous. They are strangely pa
triotic considering that they live in n
land which denies them the commonest
rights of man. Their co-roligionists
of western Europe and the id
States labor under serious es
in giving assistance to the Russian
Jaws. Pecuniary aid to BO.VO the
starving is of course proffered with
alacrity. But the JOWB in Southern
Russia nro not paupers ; many of them
had obtained wealth , and oven position
BO far as the restrictive laws
of Russia have permitted. Ono well ;
known bookseller of Elizabothgrnd
who visited New York two ycara ago
was then worth two thousand rubies

Tho' 'Alliance Isruelito UnivorsebV

roa
of relief , to provide for the emigra
tion of tha younger and moro ir
ous of the Jews of the South an
towns-some to the interior of Rus
sia , where local regulations are more
ibcrnl , some to America. As to the
alter branch of the "Alliance" work ,
ho co-operation of American Israel-
tea is pledged , nnd committees are
now forming in several cities to pro-
ride for the transportation nnd torn-
orary support of the emigrants.
These emigrants nro exiles because
f their taco and religion. The He-

England is not nbovc learning Ics-
ons from the United States. The
uccesfl of this country in refunding
ho bonded debt has directed the at-
ention of Mr , Gladstone to the same
ubjcct , and ho has prepared n scheme
which is thus described by the
A fall Qazelte : "Terminable annuities
amounting to 3,617,000 , and expir-
ng in 1885 , are at present payable to
ho national debt commissioners. For
2,000,000 , of these annuities having
uly four years moro to run the
chancellor of the exchequer proposes
, o substitute nn annuity of nearly
160,000 , which will continue to bo
payable for twenty-five years. By
his transaction the commissioners
ill receive pecuniary equivalent for
ho annuities they now hold , and by
.ho saving of the present annual
charge of 1,540,000 , Mr. Gladstone
will be enabled to cancel stock to the
amount of sixty millions.1
