LATER INTELLIGENCE FROM CHIHUAHUA

The Inhabitants decide to yield without
Resistance.
State of things at Santa Re.
60. Go 10.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March l., 1913.
An arrival from this place brings dates from
chihuahua to the I'd of January. The American
forces, which left Lanta Fe some months ago for
tine invasion and recapture Of Chihuahua, were
still at Ell Paso, where they were delayed by the
loss of their cattle. It was expected that they
would be able to resume their mar eh some time
during the month of January.
1t is said the people of Chihuahua had deter
mined to offer no resistance to the Americans,
but allow them to take peaceable possession of
the country.
Trias, the Governor of chihuahua, had made
himself exceedingly unpopular by his assess
ment of taxes, and will, it is asserted, retire to
the State of Durango on the approach of the Ame-
rican army. The trade of Santa Fe is in very
unsettled state.

Council to visit New York, and may be expected

BILL FOR rux paorscrroa or Em,aaArr,-

Bill FOR THE Protection or EMroRANTT -
We understand that there is good deal of lob.
bying about the capitol at Albany, on the sub.
ject of the bill now before the Legislature, for
the protection of emigrants, and for the proven.
ton of the many frauds and impositions to which
they are subjected on their arrival here. We
would just remind the representatives. Of the PEG.
pie, in this august assemblage of our State law.
givers, that during the month of February, Just
expired there arrived at this port three thousand
Jre hundred and serenteen emigrants, from va
rious parts OF Europe; and henceforward
we shall have steady increase weekly
In the amount of arrivals.
Much anxiety prevails in this city in relation
to the passage Of this bill; and though it con-
tains some Objectionable clauses, many would pre-
fer to see it become the law rather than to suffer
the emigrants, as they hitherto have been allow
ed, to remain completely at the mercy of the
hordes Of landshsrks and boarding house i'm
posters, who fleece them as they best can, and
often actually rob them before their eyes. The
mass of testimony taken before the commission
ers who had been appointed by the Legislature
to enquire into the frauds practised upon emf
grants, revealed well systematzed plan of bare
faced robbery, practised between this port, AL
bany, and Buffalo, as well as in most of the emf
grant boarding houses that would sartle the read
er. This, 1t was expected, would have stimulated
the Legislature last fall, at the extra session,
or at least early during the present ses-
sion, to pass law, in some form, to suit the
emergency and yet, up to the present month";
now the second day of March, when the regular
season may be said to have commenced, this
bill is delayed. The chief objection urged
against its passage, is the great additional powers
with which it proposes to invest the commits
sioners of emigration. 1t would surely be easy to
modify the sections of the bill having reference
to this particular point, and not delay action up
on measure Of such vital Importance. We trust
to see this proposed law in operation, parti-
cularly as immigration during the ensuing sea-
son promises to swell to an unusual extent; and
would again remind our law-givers at Albany,
that this is the first of March, and the time for
lobbying on this subject ought long since to have
passed over. Let us have this bill, which is very
simple in all its provisions, speedily passed, for
the benefit OF the poor immigrants, without any
further idle cavil about one or two proyl-
sions, which could be disposed of in so many
minutes.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT Law DOCUMENT FROM
ALBANY The report of the Commissioners ap-
pointed by the State, to draw up condensed
code Of law practice for the courts of this State,
under the new constitution, has been made TO
the Legislature at Albany, and will probably
cause great discussion in that body. We give,
thi. morning, in anticipation of its regular ap-
peerance, the first portion of the leading provi-
stone, and will follow it up as fast as possible
with the remainder.
THIS report and proposed law involves an en-
tire revolution in the administration and expo
sition of the laws of New York The labor
talent, and industry required in its preparation
and condensation, have been almost gigantic
One of the commissioners is David Graham
Esq Of this city.

TRASHY LITERATURE.-Our pious principal
booksellers have been, for some time past, en-
gagged, on Sundays, in praying to God and singing
psalms, and on other days in printing and
publishing parcels of vile and immoral literature,
which they thrust into the hands of the people,
and advertise in the public papers.
This species of literature Is actually unfit to be
read we allude to the productions of Bulwer,
Dickens, and others, of England, and those Of Sue
and others, of France-all Of which are abomina-
BILE trash, and hardly worth the paper on which
they are printed. How it is that the authors Of
these books are looked upon as men of talent, has
always been a mystery to US. Almost any one
can chalk out the lines OF a novel of the same de-
scription as these works. and can spin it out with
twaddle and nonsense, at 30 much chapter, to
any length. But take any one of these works,
analyze it, put it into the crucible, separate the
gases from the pure metal, and mighty small
amount of talent will be the product
We venture to say, that there is not one of those
authors who could write respectable, readable,
pithy and sensible leading editorial for a news
paper. They lack the power of condensation
of saying in a sentence as much as they twaddle
out in chapter. They would worry the readers
patience with an Introduction Of columns
ler 9Th before they touched upon the subject
matter which they sat down to write about; and
instead Of plain, but substantial repast, well
seasoned and sailed, they would give dish of
words that would nauseate the appetite.
1t is libel on the spirit of the age to issue
such works in country like this Our highly
respectable booksellers and publishers are serv-
ing thu devil better than the devil was ever yet
served One day to God and SIX to satan, is
doing very well to demoralize the rising genera
ton.
