THE DEATH SENTENCE.

We understand that petition is being circulated praying for a com mutation of the death sentence passed upon Thomas J. Harper by the Dis trict Court, condemned for the murder Of Frank Halliday, in the Huachuca mountains, last September.
 While we are opposed to capital punishment in the abstract. there are many circumstances which render such extreme measures necessary, es- pecia!ly in frontier country like Ar izona. In the present case the crim- insl committed a most wanton and deliberate murder, wholly uniustifi- able, and in the absence of the least mitigating circumstance the sentence oi the court should be executed.
 The evidence upon which Harper was convicted showed that Tallidav, on the last day of his life, had sim ply asked the prisoner for Q sum of money owing him, amounting to ten dollars. Some hasty words ensued. which resulted Tn Harper deliberately procuring pistol and and as deliber- ately shooting down his creditor. He then turned his weapon upon a com panion of Halliday who was present, and threatened to serve him ID the same manner if he did not precipi- tately take to his heels.
 What human mercy ought such flend to expect when Jury of his peers has declared him guilty of the greatest of crimes? It is false sym pathy that attempts to awaken sen ument of pity in'hIs behalf. He was fully aware of the enOrmity of the crime ere he committed the act, and to endeavor now to convince him that he IS a martyr to a perverted system of laws is to justify, in a measure, the great crime for which he has been convicted.
 Could any plausible cause be shown or any mitigating circumstances cited to tighten the heinousness of the offense, no word of ours would be ut tered to restrain a charitable demon stration for the condemned; but the deed was so heartlesslv cruel that a proper regard for the precious lives of others makes it sacred duty of the officers of the law to place him be- | Yond the slightest possibility of ever being able to agaln commit the ter rible crime of murder.

We are in receipt of letter from { gentleman doing business at Vulturc City, stating that camp was nearly deserted, the people having gone tC the new placer diggings a few mile. east of Seymour, where those who are inclined to work are making from $40 10 $50 per day by dry washing in a pan. We are told that the digging: are very extensive and liable to prove at least equal 10 those found in Cali fornia in it's palmiest days.

 A fellow went into church one day, and the minister repeated the Lord s prayer. After the service he said to a friend c: Durr,d if that minister didn't steal that, ,or l heard it in Ne vada fifteen years ago" We are re- minded of the story by the appear ance of the Tucson Star of the 5th instant, of beautiful piece of poetry published by us few weeks ago en- titled {" Divided Lives" We found it in the New York Evening Mail, if we remember correctly, and it was rot credited to any person. It appears in the Star as an OrIgiual poem, the larcenist signing himseif " Uno % We'll bet a tive-dollar bill that "Uno ' don't know who wrote it. No need for stealing poetry, the author of " Apache Land or the in- nocent poet of the Silver Belt can furnish a few yards of it any time if they receive the price per yard that is paid for unhleached cotton.

disturbance in this reglOn. After eur mission had been announced TT. Fawcett acknowledged that ou in formation was correct, and did not attempt to disguise the fact that hc had arrived st the age of 40 years, and in consequence of the event he had
 laid in a supply of the finest Mllwau- kee beverage and choice Havanas.
 After these had been duly sampled we were invited to the dining-rOOm, and the sight that met our gaze from the snow white linen covered board was
 enough to melt the heart of an Ari-
 zona miner, though it De as hard as the hardest quartz. l shall not at- tempt a description of the bIll of fare,
 but can assure you that it was not lacking in any particular, and when l tell you that it was prepared by that prince of caterers, Mir. JO. Spencer, you know that it could not be sur passed III Arizona or any other place. Among the nOtables seated around that sumptuouS board, in addition to mine host and lady and son Fred, was a NIT. KennOn, capitalist froD lllI- nois; Dr, Wilbur, an old-limer s;hes, parts; Dr. Gevouid, Of the Arizona Mill Company; Professors Blanc, Ingelstroth and iffanY, of San Fran cisco; Mir. MiddlemaS, of the Fran itas camp, and many others Of the camp and Mill company whose names we did not learn. We were frequent ly interrupted by the sharp cracking of small arms, but no serious alarm was fel;, when Y was discovered that it was all trOtr the arsenal al Mil waukee. But now comes the mosi serious affair of the occasion. Joe enters with huge smoking, blazing, plum pudding. Yes, blazing almost the ceiling and such a sight has not gladdeded the eN e of the old Ar iZsnan since h. left the granite hills oI his native New England home. 4 gOOdly portion was soon dispatched, but it was Lot exhausted, as there were millions yet in sight. After the usu- al toasts, responses and congratula- tiOns we again repaired to the dining room, where the bands were cut on a fresh box of Havanas, and the same duly tested. Mir Fawcetl informed us that he was from Illinois, a State which he says No other land sur passes, for honest men and bonnie lasses." In conclusion l will say if Illinois has any more such to spare who are not over forty years old, let them come, and we will insure them a hearty welcome to Southern AriZo- ma. As the sun began to sink behind old Baboguivari Peak the company began to disperse, wishing many re- turns of the same anniversary tO NIT. Fawcett, and well satisfied that the mill company has a good treasurer and rich strike made at Arivaca.

THE fruit trade of New Orleans with he tropical regions Is becoming sn important feature in the general commerce of the Crescent City. A few years ago few small schoOners sufiiced to carry all the bananas .,co- coanuts, plantains, pineapples, lem ons and other fruits imported from Honduras, and the business was not regarded as profitable. But owing to the increasing demand in the Vest ern States for these fruits the trade in them has grown into large propor- tions, and there are now four steam ships, Tn addition to sailing vessels engaged Tn it. They obtain their car goes on the islands that lie of the coast Oi Honduras and on the main land, and bring them to New Orleans, whence they are distributed by raIl and steam boat through the West and Northwest. The Honduras Govern ment encourages the trade by ex- empting vessels from port charges and granting them desirable privi- leges.

PRAYERS I DON'T LIKE.

l do not like 10 hear him pray
 On pended knee, about an hour, For grace to spend aright the day,
 Who knows his neighbor has no flour would rather see him go 10 mill
 And buy the luckless neighbor bread, And see his children eat their fill
 And laugh beneath their hum ble shed. do not like 10 hear him pray,
 Let blessings on the widow be-" Who never seeks her home to say,
 |" II want o'ertakes you, come tO me" hate the prayer, so loud and long, That's offered for the orphans veal, By him who sees him crushed by wrong, And only with Ihe lips doth feel. dc not like to hear her pray,
 With jeweled ear and silken dress, Whose washerwOman tolls all day And then Is asked to "wOrk for less" Such piOHs shavers I despisei
 With folded hands and face demure, They lift To heaven their angel eyes" And steal the earnings Of the poor. l do not like such soulless prayers If wrong, l hope 10 be forgiven; No angels wing them upward bears They're lost, million miles iron

 Cattle Raisers Must Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, May 1j.-A Demo crat Little Rock special says: Gov ernor Overtou, of the Chicasaw na- tion, has gathered together 300 men, and has issued orders that Texas cat tie raisers, and white men generally, must leave the country before June 1 , or force will be used. A similar sit uation prevails in the ChOctaw na- tiOn. Governor C. Curtain has in structed the Sheriff to immediately organize and arm militia companies to drive out the whites. The trouble in the Chicasaw nation is said Co have grown out of the refusal nf the Tex ans 10 pay more than 1215 cents per head for grazing cattle therein. Gov ernor OvertOn demanded 2j cents per head Tn the Choctaw nation. The trouble is chiefly in regard to the law allowing white men to live in that country, the Indians holding that nearly all the white population arc there without proper authority.
