SECRETARY KIRKwooD has stated that,
in order not to awaken any unfriendly or
hostile feeling among the Crow Indians, he
deems it advisable that before preliminary
surveys are made through the reserva-
tou by the surveyors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company the Indians shall be in
formed by the Indian agent that their rights
OF property will be fully respected, and that
the road will not he permitted to
pass through until the Indians are amply
compensated for the right of way. The diff
ficulty lies in persuadiug the Indians that
Secretary Kirkwood is honest in his declara-
ton. They have been cheated so often that
they naturally refuse to believe any white
man.

Doings of the Massachusetts, Leg
iSlature.

iSlature.
The Massachusetts Legislature completed
very important measure at its late session,
calculated to advance the interests of our
foreign commerce: it relieved from To-
cal taxation all shipping actually engaged
in foreign trade, leaving only the net in
come OF such property subject to municipal
taxation; thus following the English custom
and precedent. Another important meas
ure avoids double taxation on mortgaged
real estate by assessing the mortgages in
terest in the property as real estate in the
town or city where the land is located ;
leaving the morgagor to be assessed for the
value of the real estate less the mortgages
interest in it. The tax on deposits in saw
ing banks was reduced from three-fourths to
one-half OF one per cent. Some amend
ments were made to the laws regarding di-
vorces, one of which is that criminal pro-
ceedings may be instituted against person
from whom divorce has been obtained for
criminal offense. The excise tax on the
business of insurance done in the State was
per cent. The liquor legislation of the ses-
sion includes increased penalties for drunk
enness: makes the "screen law "(prohibit-
ing all obstruction whatever to public view
of premises where liquor is sold) compulso-
ry; that application for licenses to sell liq-
uor shall be advertised, and that the objec-
tion of the owner of real estate
adjoining the premises where liquor
is to be sold shall prevent the issue of a
license therefor; that licenses to sell liquors
shall be granted only in those cities and
towns i'll which there is direct vote there
for; that in non license municipalities,
club-rooms in which liquors are dispensed
or sold shall be deemed public nuisances.
There was created close season for lob
sters, extending from June goth to Septem-
ber 10th during which period the taking,
buying or selling of these shell fish is pro-
hibited under heavy penalties.

A. NJ. Grier, in these days of not altogether
disinterested statesmen, deserves good
word. He achieved fame as the original
Garfield man, who on the second ballot at
Chicago cast his solitary vote for the man
of Mentor, and remained firm through all
the subsequent balloting until he had the
proud satisfaction Of seeing his candidate
made the choice of the convention. As all
acknowledgement of his services the P.es-
dent sent in his name for third assistant
