For seventeen yaars MinneSota has substituted lie Imprisonment for the death penalty.

Life is not safe iu Detroit, and the number of murders in that statc within tho past few years is appalling. Al the last session of the legislature { bill restoring the death penalty for murder in tho first degree, passed the House but fell through in tho Senate, and at tue next session will no doubt be successful. Life imprisonment has had a fair trial in Maine, also, and It's evil effects upon the criminal classes have induced the Maine legislature to restore the death penalty.

The Star says: "A gentleman who seems to know whereof he speaks says if the papers of southern Arizona
 would show disposition to treat the commanding general of the depart-

 Is this a bribe to induce southern Arizona newspapers to cease condemn ing the cause. that led to so many
 murders Of citizens of Arizona aud New Mexico by Indians whom Gen. 1 Crook induced to return from Mexico, and stood sponsor for their good be- hayior? "A gentleman who seems to
 know" places Gen. Crook in an awk.

tit shall prove to be true that Gen.
 Butler has arfanged to test the iegali- " of the Presidents course concern
 ing the interests of the cattlenen in
 Western grazing privileges, the con troveFsy will mainly turn, we infer, OF ti,e question of the nght of tho President to use the army for the en- tovcement of bis orders in such cases. 1t is coutended by some of the best lawyers in the country that right Of that kind can only be exercised under a specific act ot Congress, and that Congress in recent years has almost uniformly refused toRuthoyize the em- ployment of troops for the execution of civil orders or rules of any de- scription. Louis Republican
 Using the army in coutrovention of law is m invasion of the rights of the people, It is even more oppressive than a centralized government, It ignors the constitution and in affect, if permitted, establishes Q dangerous precedent which will sap the founda- ton of republican institutions and place us where Mexico now is, re- public in name only, In view of the danger that nov threatens by the sub stituhon of the sword for eongression- al enactments, it is we'll to bear in mind that our system of government comprises three branches: Legislative, Executive and Judicial, and the duties ofeach are 50 clearly defined in the con stitution that there is no uistaking their import, There are many pro. visions for preventing an abuse of power in the constitution and in the laws of Congress, but all history l proves that nothing but watchfuluess and wisdom on the part of the people can preserve to them their rights from I aggressive power, and now that it is known that citizens cattle were right | fully on Cheyenne and Arapahoe ] grazing lands, by request of General John Pope, endorsed by General Phil, ! lip Sheridan and approved by Secreta. l " of the Interior, Teller, it becomes q matter of judicial enquiry as to whoth, CT or not such trespass has been committed as to justify the President h the use of the army in giving effect to his proclamation requiring the re
 moyal of the cattle. We hope Gen
 Butler will follow the question until ; [ judicial decision is obtained. I ! is but justice to Secretary Teller tt
 say that he was as first opposed tt ! granting the leases, but after mature
 discussion of the whole subject as be
 tween the army officers ct Fort Reno
 the Agent, and the tribes assembled
 in council, it was decided to be best t,
 lease the lands, not occupied by In
 dians, to responsible parties. Genera
 Pope, then commander of tue depart ment, wrote a long and earnest appea
 in favor of the plan of leasing, ant
 Gen. Sheridan cordially endorsed al
 that was said by Gen, Pope. The Sec rstary of War, to whom Pope's appea was sent, transmitted the entire cor
 respondeuce to Secretary Teller who after considering tho subject, gay, bis consent to the execution of th leases. This being the case, it is bu justice that the lessees should receiv
 exemplary damages for their attendan
 inconvenience and subsequent loss.
