The bill creating the office of com missioner of immigration, passed the Council to-day (Thursday) by vote of s to 4. It can Lc safely said that no better bill. or one of more far reaching benefit to the people of Ari- zona, has been passed by the Thir- teenth Legislative Assembly. It is a measure of genuine merit and will commend itself to every citizen who feels an interest in the prosperity and advancement of Arizona. We need capital and we need migration to de velop the magnificent possibilities of our Territory, and this can only be done by thorough and judicious ad- yertising. Whatever may have been the shortcomings of the present Leg islature, one good measure can be placed 10 thelr credit, and that is the immigration bill Miner.

The Supreme Court, having ap- proved the death sentence of Fred Glover, convicted of murder at the June term of the District Court for this county for the killing of his mis tress, Jennie Clark, the mandate of the law will doubtless be carried into effect, unless Governor Tritle sees fit to interfere and commute the sen terce for life. Although the news of the decision of the Supreme Court was received here last night, Glover has not yet been informed of the fact that he is a doomed man, as the officers desire to make additional pro visions ion his security, and also to prevent his committing suicide.- Miner.

What if is To-day.

Some six months ago the American Agriculturist entered upon a new ca reer of prosperity, and to-day it is far superior to any similar periodical ever produced in this or any other country. Richer in editorial strength; richer in engravings; printed on finer paper, and presented in every issue 100 columns of original reading mat ter from the ablest writers, and nearly Ioo illustrations. Dr. George Thur Der, for nearly quarter of century the editor-in-chief of the American Agriculturist, Joseph Harris, Byron D. Halsted, Col. M. C. Weld, and Andrew s. Fuller, the other long time editors, together with the other writ CTS who have made the American Ag- riculturist what it is to-day, are still at their posts.

TEXAS CATTLE LANDS.
Charges of Very Bad Management by the
State Land Board.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 17.-At the meeting
of the State Land Board, last Tuesday, resolu-
aion was passed whereby the board agreed to
fully exonerate, acquit, release and hold harm
less from all pains and penalties. suits, costs,
proceedings, damages and liabilities against the
Galveston News for account OF anything 1t
might or may publish touching any member ct
the board in the management of the landed af-
fairs Of Texas"
The News had intimated it possessed certain
damaging information touching the management
Of State lands which it feared to publish, because
Of an exceedingly stringent libel law, which
gagged the press of Texas. By reason
of this law, under a recent adverse decision
of the Supreme Court of Texas, the
propretors of the News have just paid $10 600;
hence their desire to be insured. In it's issue of
yesterday the News opened out on the Land
Board by reviewing its work The paper now
makes the claim that the board. by its neglect
and mismanagement, has lost to the school
fund of the State the sum of 81, 1oO, O0O which
should have been collected under the law from
cattlcmen during the past eighteen months.
The News says that in February 1884. act
was, passed directing the Land Board to ap-
point grass commissioners whose duties it
should be to ascertain by constant inspection
the area of free grass belonging to the State ana
being occupied by cattlemen without leases OF
any character Under this law all occupiers of
such lands were compelled to ray occupation
tax Twenty million acres of free grass lands of
this character have been constantly grazed upon
since tEe passage of the law, yet the Land Board
only last week appointed and sent out the grass
commissioners upon whose reports the tax could
only be collected. The law makes no provision
for back taxes; hence the State has lost nearly
So Geo. O0O which has simply remained in the
o1-afc cofo cot In
ments the News in one breath acquits the mem
bers of the Land Board of intentional wrong,
but in the next breath it says: This loss of
81, 750, ,000 was not accidental, and not being
accidental it is presumably the result of ntelli-
gent design" This creates a sensation. The
board is composed of Governor John ireland,
State Treasurer F. r. Subberek. Land Commis-
souer w. c. Walsh, Comptroller W. j. Swain
and Attorney general John d. Templeton. This
galaxy of names comprises the most dis.
tiuCuished politicians in Texas.

decided to rid themselves of him as expedtiously
as possible. A church committee preferred

WHAT KILLED THE LITTLE HERO?
Investigation as to the Cause of Bright
Boys Death in Erie.

ERIE Aug 1.-THE authorities are investi-
eating an unhappy affair that will probably re-
suit in the arrest Of Mrs. Schell on charge of
killing Eddie Cook, bright young lad in his
fourteenth year. About three months ago the
lad was playing on the street, and was ordered
away by Mrs. Schell who claimed that he was
trespassing upon her premises. Upon his refus-
ing to go. the woman struck Eddie blow across
the back with broomstick. A few days later
swelling appeared over the spot where he was
struck, and a cancerous-like growth developed
to monstrous size involving the whole of the
trunk. DR.. j. l.. Stewart having declared death
inevitable, the district attorney directed a mag
lstrate to take an ante -nortem statement
In order to impress the little fellow with the
solemnlty and Importance of the proceeding it
became necessary for the doctor to tell him that
he must die in a few hours. A tremor passed
over the boy, and tears glistened in his eyes
when his doom was pronounced. The mother,
who had cherished hopes until this moment,
flung herself across the bed and casped Eddie in
a convulsive embrace
will it be very hard to die, mother!' he
asked.
ooh, may the God of mercy make it easy for
my darling" sobbed the grief fstricken parent.
he said ma, | guess it won't go very hard
with me in the next world. I've been a pretty
good boy, haven't L."
The poor mother could not reply for the sobs
that were choking her, and the officers of the
law had to lead her out
The dying boy then held up his little thin
hand, and was sworn to tell the truth He said
he would be very careful to tell nothing but the
facts, as he should be sorry to do his alleged
assailant injustice. He then grayey related the
incident told above. and added that if his injury
was the result of the blow, he readily forgave
Mrs. Schell.
The pain suffered by the boy has been terri
ole; but soon after his deposition had been
signed change came, and as though in answer
to the prayer of his weeping mother for an easy
death, coma followed, and Eddie became uncon-
scious of suffering. In this condition he passed
away post morUem will be held to determine
whsaasaer the growth was the result of the blow.
Mrs. Schell is under arrest. She is a respectable
woman, and the physicians are by no means
unanimous in the theory that she is responsible
for Eddie Cooks death

being at home alone, he told her that since he
had resided with them her friendliness toward

her to leave her husband and go and live with
him. Mrs. Tomaski refused. when he told her
to Did her children goodbye. She laughed at
him, whereupon he shot at her. the ball grazing

citizen of that State who had a claim for over
100000 worth of property taken and used by
the Union armies could not recover for the same,
but must bear the loss as one of the incidents OF
war. for which nobody was responsible and re-
jected the claim, though tho claimant proved
that he was devoted loyalist throughout the
entire war.
Now. the effect Of this decision is twofold:
First, it places the Union man under the same
Disadvantages that the most persistent rebel
labors under. so far as the loss of property is
concerned; and second, it really Furnishes the
Unlonist for being true to the government and
this decision actually in1icts a penalty to the
full amount Of his losses for being true to the
government It also offers a premium for
treason, for If the rebellion mad succeeded the
rebels would have been paid by the new govern
ment for their losses, while this decision pre-
vents the loyalist from recovering, whether the
cause he espoused succeeded or failed. And in
this connection it may be said that the loyal
people OF the country should keep an eye on the
movements of the men who now have the power
to battle and defeat them in their efforts to
receive reparation for the losses they have
incurred at the hands of the Union armies. It
is we'll known that the Unionsts of the South
have been hated by the rebels of that section
with hatred that is intensely bitter and unre-
lenting, and they will undoubtedly use their
power to the utmost to punish them for desert
ing the rebel cause.

satisfied of the genuineness of the check which
had been forwarded to New York for

Some of Them Very Hard to Get Rid Of-A
Specimen Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA Postoffce Depart
ment official says the country people would be
astonished to know how many fourth-cass post
masters resigned after the 4th of March. They
did not want to serve under Democratic ad-
ministration. and they said So But it is re-
markable how few designations voluntarily
made have been accepted. 1t seems to have
been the policy rather to take the Offices the old
postmasters wanted to hold. 1 was shown
letter to-, day addressed to the Postmaster
general by postmaster who has been for several
months trying to be relieved. Fourth class
postmasters, it will be remembered, are held
responsible until their successors are commits
stoned or their designations are accepted They
can resign every day, but they are held to their
bonds until their designations are accepted
The postmaster referred to has been demanding
that his resignation be accepted, for months, aud
that is probably why he has not been relieved
In the last letter to the Postmaster general he
says:
II turned over the Office to my deputy some
time ago. 1t has just been robbed, and I have
to make the loss good, however which makes
me very tired of the responsibility If you
don't relieve me by September I, will box the
Office up and ship it to Washington"
His resignation will now be accepted.
