EDUCACION COMPULSORIA.

Nos es agradable dar al publico los mejores procederes de un hombre, y DOT To tanto reproducimos las siguien- tes espreciones dirijidas en Ia Con- vencion Constitutional de Nevada du- rarte el passage de la clausula en el articulo de educacion.
 Fl Sr. LOCKWOOD diio: Deseo decir algunas pala bras solo con el ob- jeto de presentar una suggestion al miembro de Humboldt que ha propues to esta enmienda. He tenido una po- ca esperiencia en las escuelas de Ca lifornia, y SC que hay una clase de personas para quienes este pro veido sera muy repugnante. He visto personas tan fanaticss en SUI creencia religiosa, tai como los Catolicos Roma nos, aunque no tengo ningun deseo de mencionarlos individualmente, los cuales sostendrian que todas las es- cuelas publicas fueran sectarias, y que mas bien permitirian que sus hiios crezcan en Ia ignorancia que dejarlos asistir elias. De aqui resulta, para mi opinion, si debemos no violar las preocupaciones de esq clase de gente, aun para aquello que nos parece ser en su propio bien.
 El ST. DUNNE dijo: Esta enmi- enda no SC propone para obligar 8 asistir solamente a las escuelas pubE- cas- solamente requiere que todos los ninos deben recibir instruction cada ano hasta cierto grado y los padres de familia .pueden enviar sus hijos las escuelas que sean de SUI agrado. La objection que pone el miembro de Ormsby no es aplicsble.
 Sc vera que el Juez Dunne declare "la objection del miembro de Ormsby (Mr. Lockwood) no SC puede aplicar." Fl entonces sostuvo la educacion com pulsoria como la meior medida sin d ninguna denomination religiosa, y tenia razon. Las alega- clones que los Catolicos ofrescan nc podran aplicarse porque ellos no esta- ban obligados enviar sus hijos a las esouelas publicas. Nj una sola pala- bra dijo en esq convencion que los Ca tolicos estaban obligados a pagar inn puestos para soportar escuelas a las cuales no pueden no quieren enviar a sus hiios. Todo SUI argumento desde el principle hasta el fin fue que el Estsdo debe educsr y de consiguientet

Helnos sabido que muohos de nu- estros ciudadanos Mejicanos creen que Ia ley de Ar.aon,. los obligs a enviar sus hijos Ia escuela publioa. Para remover esq tan infundada suposicion publicamos aquella seccion de la ley que Sc refere al asunto de asistencia a Ia escuela:
 Seccion lr Todo padre, guardian, O persona en el Territorio de Arizona que tenga bajo su dominic y cargo algun nino O nihos entre la edad de ocho 8 catorce amos, le seria exijido a enviar tai nino ninos & Ia escuela publica DOT un termino de To menos diez seis semsnas cada ano escolas- tico, ocho de las cuales deben ser con- secutivas, no ser que esten exemptos de asistir, DOT Ia Junta de Comisiona- dos del distrito donde residan tales pa dres guardisnes, si es que puedan hscer yer que la condicion mental O corporal de tai nino ninos puede de alguns maners impedir su asistencia @ Ia escuela o Ia aplicacion al estudio DOT ell periodo requerido, si tal nino o ninos reciben instrucclon en escuelas privadas en sus casas, sobre aquellos ramos que SC ensenan regularmente en escuelss primarias, o si han ya ad- quirido los ramos de instruction que SC ensena de ordinario en Ia escuela publida. Proveido, que en caso que no SC tenga escuelas publicas DOT el termino de diez y seis semanas parte de elias durante el aho y una distan- cia de no mas de dos millss del lugar de residencia de las personas que mo- ren en el distrito escolar, o si DO ny comodidsd para todos los niiios de di- cho distrito escolsr el ella en tai caso no seran responsables segun es- ta proveido DOT este acto.
 Esto les ds saber que Ia ley les permite educar sns hijos en SUI casa o en escuelas privadas y solo SC intenta asegurar to1os Ia instruction hasta cierto grado.

near Line of New Mexico.

The people of Yavapai county com plained last year that owners of stock on the Little Colorado, evaded the pay ment of their taxes. We remember dis tinctly of hearing members of the leg islature from that county refer to the necessity of so framing the revenue law as to compel both tax-collectors and property owners to discharge their ob- legations to the county. In this con nection we copy the following from the Albuquerque Review of July 24:
 Several of our sheep owners in this county, have lately been notified by a personal envoy from the Arizona au- thOrities, that they must endeavor to go to the Rio Colorado Chiquito by the 10th of next month to look after their herds. It is probable fact that the herders got within the limits of Arizona and those authorities want to know whether they will make it all right or else risk the innocent fiocks. The time allowed for settlement is thirty days. We learn that several of the men who have their sheep in that locality have immediately gone to see how the matter can be arranged.

PROTECCION DE PROPIEDAD.
Fl MejOr MOdO es SOpOrtandO Bue-
 mas Escuelas PubIicas.

Nuestro actual Juez Supreme ha to-
 mado los mayores empellos eli favor
 de la instruction publica DOT medic
 del sistema de escuelas colnunes eu
 nuestro pals. No hay un entusiasta
 que sobre este asunto haya hecho mas.
 En SUI argumento en favor de un inn
 puesto de Estado benefcio del sis
 tema de escuelas publicas que el ayu-
 do a esta blecer en Nevada, sostuvo
 "que las partes mas populosas del
 Estado debian de contribuir algo para soStener lls escuelas de los lusares de afuera," y prosiguio esplicandose de esta manera:
 Els evidente que semejante sistGma no causa injusticia los padres de fa- milia que viven en los condads mas populosos, pues sacan Ia nnisma can- tidad de dinero en proportion al nu- nero de sus ninos que esta destribuido 8 los ninos que viven en los estramu- ros de Ia civilization; y Ia aplicacion de la regla es simplemente para hacer que los grandes capitalistas de las me- tropolis que no tienen hijos y de con- siguiente no sacan ningun provecho para sus familias para si, paguen su proportion para Ia ensenanza de los ninos de todo el Estado. Lo que el capitalista paga SC incorpora en el fondo general, y de alli SC destribuye, de suerte que tambien trae sus venta- jas las communicates muy populosas, porque sacan del fondo general en proportion al numero de ninos que tengan, y DOT consiguiente no .resnlta injusticia ninguna. Nj es injusta para el capitalista, porque segun la teoria de nuestro gobierno el debe pa gar para proteger Ia propiedad, y me supongo no hay quien dispute que no hay mejores medios de protection, como soportando BUENAs EsCUELAs COMUNEs, Por To tanto el no debe de quejarse-o si SC queja no debemos de hacer aprecio dc sus quejas, sino que debemos continuar levantando un h- zero impuesto sobre sus haberes, para soportar la instruction publica. |"
 Asi podrian yer nuestros lectores el fuerte lenguaje que uso MT. Dunne en defensa de un impuesto para sos- tener las escuelas comunes--no par nj de otra clase que las que SC sostienen ahora en Arizona DOT me- dio de impuestos del Territorio y de condado. Dice que el capitalista que no tiene hijos nj saca ningun prove cho individualment, no sufre ninguna y que si SC queja "nosotros Iincluy endose el mismo) no debemos atender sus quejas," porque el SC su- pone que no hay medic mejor de prote- ger h propiedad como soportando las publicas. Nunca sugirio que ademas de los capitalistas habria otros que tambien SC quejarian, y DOT una inferencia justa no debia atender- SC sus quejas. Muchos son de opi- 1ion que si el Juez Dunno hubiera en Nevada, sus ideas so- ore la question de escuelas publicas 1abrian seguido en ammonia con sus en Ia constitucion con-

Compulsory Education.

It IS reported to us that many oi the Spanish people are of the belief that the law of Arizona compels them to send their children to the public school. To remove this belief and show that it is unfounded, we here with publish that section of the law which directly relates to the subject of attendance at school:
 Section 1. Every parent, guardian or other person in the Territory of Arizona. having control and charge of 6 child or children between the ages of eight and fourteen years, shall be required to send such child or children to public school for 8 period of at least sixteen weeks in each school year, at least eight weeks of which shall be consecutive, unless such child or children are exempted from such attendance by the Board of School Trustees of the school dis trict in which such parents or guar dians reside, upon its being shown to their satisfaction that the bodily or mental condition of such child or children has been such as to prevent his, her or their attendance at school, or application to study, for the period required, or that such child or children are taught in 8 private school, or at home, in such branches as are usually taught in primary school, or have already acquired the ordinary bran ches of learning taught in the public school. Provided, in case a public school shall not be taught for the period of sixteen weeks, or any part thereof, during the year, within two miles, by the nearest travelled road. of the residence of any person within the school district, or if not sufficient for all the children are provided for within the school dis trict, he or she shall not be liable to the provisions of this act.
 This shows that the law permits children to be educated at home or in private schools, and is only intended to insure the instruction of all to certain extent.

ALTHOUGH heretofore published in THE CITIZEN, we give the following, knowing that interested parties have either overlooked or forgotten it;
 Hon. S. S. Burdett, commissioner of the general land office, has decided that in all cases of application for pat ent for mining claims which are based upon relocation, the register will re- quire the applicants to file with their application for patent, a copy of the original notice of location of the min ing claim for which patent is sought; a complete abstract of cOnveyances from the original locators to the par ties making the relocation, and copy of the relocation notice together with an abstract of the conveyance from said re-locaters and their grantees to the applicant for patent

LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

The following exquisite little poem was written about ten years ago by a thirteen-year-old school girl of Craw fordsville, Indiana, and published first in the Journal of that city. Charles G. Halpine, ('' Miles O'Reilley,') who was at that time publishing the New York Citizen, came across it accident ally, and being struck by its beauty, reprinted it in The Citizen, with a complimentary mention of half col umn in length. The next week he pub lished it again, and devoted over col umn of his paper to calling attention to its wonderful beauty, pronouncing it the finest poem ever written in Ameri- ca. This was not all. The week fol lowing he printed it again - for the third time-and gave the rare beauty of the poem, and the fear that some reader might nave missed seeing it, as an excuse for doing so. A few weeks after this, the author Of "Little Brown Hands" received from the publishers d copy of BlackwOod's Magazine, con- taining the poem and d quite lengthy editorial notice, similar in character to the one given it by Halpine. It is not probable that more than one reader in fifty thousand knows even the authors name. It is Miss Mary H. Krout, and she is still living in Charlottesville. "Little Brown Hands" should render her name famous though she had nev- CT written another line. But she has written many other beautiful poems, and is at present, if we are not mistak- en, a regular contributor tC one or two first-class periodicals:
 They drive home the COWS from the pas
 ture,
 Up through the long shady lane, Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat
 fields,
 They are yellow with ripening grain. They find, in the thick waving grasses,
 Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry
 grows; They gather the earliest snow-drops And the first crimson buds of the rose. They toss the hay In the meadow; They gather the elder-bloom white; They find where the dusky grapes purple In the the sOft-tinted October light. They know where the apples hang rlpest, And are Sweeter than Italy's wines; They know where the fruit shangs thel
 thickeSt On the long, thorny blackberry vines. They gather the delicate sea-weeds, And build tiny castles of sand; They pick up the beautiful sea-shells- ! Fairy parks that have drifted to land. They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops Where orioles hammock nest swings, And at nighttime are folded in slumber
 By song that a fond mother sings. Those who toll braveiy are strongest;
 The humble and the poor become great: And from these brown handed children Shall grow mighty rulers Of state. The pen of the author and statesman.- The noble and wise Of the land,- The sword and chisel and palette,
 Shall be held in the little brown hand.

PACIFIC COAST MATTERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-This morning as the Central Pacific train was being run on the freight ferryboat Thoroughfare, the speed was so great as to push it through the boat, and a number of cars ran into the bay. Par ticulars not yet obtained.

Death of ex-President Johnson.

Here are our dispatches, received on Tuesday, regarding the death of this remarkable man:
 NASHVILLE, TENN, July 31.-Andy Johnson, last of the ex-Presidents, was stricken with paralysis yesterday, and died at half past two this morning. All the public buildings in the city are being draped in mourning, and all flags are at half-mast.
 CHATTANOOGA, July 31.-Death of Andrew Johnson at 80 this morning confirmed. He desired his winding sheet should be the flag of his country.
 WASHINGTON, July 31-As a mark of respect for ex-President Johnson, the flags over the Executive Mansion and public buildings in the city are at halfmast.
 Andrew Johnson was probably as widely known as any American of his time. He rose from an unlettered young man to the Presidency of the nation. He was always bold in declar- ing his views, and his honesty of pur- pose has been generally conceded. We believe the judgment of the country is that he was an honest man. He pos sessed some of the leading characteris- tics of Gen. Frank P Blair who recent ly died at St. Louis. At the time off his death, he was United States Sena- tor from Tennessee and would have been for the next five years had he liv- ed. His public life was remalk kable above that of most men. He always had the most devoted friends and bit terest of enem1es. Without having seen line of comment (at this writing on Tuesday morning. by other papers, we venture the opinion that the voice of the press will be more than Ordi- narily kind and favorable in speaking of ex-President Johnson's life.

Sheep and Wool Business.

To show how this business increases and what it will soon amount to in Ari zOna, we give the following figures re. garding it in California:
 No industrial interest has increased more rapidly in California than wool growing. In 1854 the. entire product of the State was only 175,00O pounds, valued at $14,0G0 In 1874, only twenty years later, it had risen to 36,068, ,701 pounds, valued at $8, 1892 1000. This in dustry is still making great progress, not only in the extent of production, but in improved grades of sheep and the yield per head.

A NEW flour is making its appearance in Eastern markets, made away in the interior of Minnesota by what is styled the thew process for purifying mid dlings "a process thus far kept secret. This flour is heavily bodied, and of such consistency that when thrown into the air it does not fly off in parti- cles, but descends into the hand in a mass. It requires one-third more water in mixing than in ordinary flour, and in kneading it into dough more labor is required. The bread, it is claimed will remain fresh for long time. The yield to the bushel of grain is not known. It is claimed that by the "new purifying process" it has been found in Minnesota that Spring wheat can be made into the highest price flour, and that the same can be done with the other kinds of wheat There are now about 20 mills in Minnesota in which the new machinery has been introduced.
