MEXICO seems disposed now to enter
into an arrangement with the United
States Government by which hostile In
dians may be brought into subjection.
This is to the effect that when either
they or the United States Government
are pursuing hostiles, the pursuing party
may be permitted to cross the border
and continue the chase until relieved by
those whose territory is being invaded.
The adoption Of this measure will de.
stroy the usual source of escape and
hence will effectually check brutal out
RACES on the border.

beyond all measure by the Smith Sun

man who conducts saloon in Ohio now
has several sumptuary measures to sub

ex-soldier can act for himself. This case
can have but one Of two meanings: 1t
must be the intention of parties buying
up such copies of soldiers discharges
as they can obtain, thereby to locate
land; if that be the case and
the soldiers claims remain unim-
paired, the government is to be defraud-
ed. Or else it means that these copies
of the discharge are to be used in some
way so as to invalidate the claims of the
soldiers who rightfully deserve recogni'
