WAS JusrIFIED.-A friend tells us
that Taylor Foreman is not under
arrest, as was to be inferred from q
correspondence in last issue, but has
gone to California. lie was threatened
with or has consumption and made no
denial Of introducing whisky for his
own use. The officer, who had no writ,
informed Mr.. Foreman that he had
been reported and assured him that if
he would 20 TO Muskogee and ac-
knowledge the facts, the commissioner
would dismiss the case. This he prom
ised to do but on learning that such an
act was beyond the commissioner 3
power, and fearing to delay his journey
until after meeting the case at Fort
Smith, he left for California as stated.
We believe that nine out Of ten people
would justify Mr.. Foreman's course.

Representative Strait, of Minnesota, has introduced bill to forfeit the lands granted to aid in the construc- tion of railways. It provides that ''all rights to any of the public lands here tofore granted to any state or territo- ry, or to any corporation, to aid in the construction of railways, that have not been earned in construction, are here by declared forfeited to the United States, and said lands are hereby re- stored to the public domain and shall be subject to disposition and settle ment under the existing laws for the disposal of public lands" The most objectionable feature to the bill is the omission of the forfeiture of all unset tied Spanish land grants Q or any oth- CT unconfrmed grants.

The white laborers who went from New Orlens to work on the Panama Canal have returned in deep disgust. They did wisely to get back before they were laid away in Monkey Hill Cemetery. Experience has shown that it requires exceptional physique and endurance in a white man to withstand hard labor on the Isthmus. The eli mate is extremely enervating, and the chances are that to keep himself in good working trim he will be obliged to spend every dollar he earns. South ern negroes who are used to work on the river bottoms will probably feel the effects of Panama climate no more than the colored people from Jamaica, but the latter are said to be greatly dissatisfied Mith the small wages and the high cost of living on the isthmus In fact, the labor problem promises to be as difficult for the canal managers to solve as the cutting through of the Culebra hill.

The man who was hired by Slogger Sullivan to spar with him in friendly contest during his western tour is now reported to be dying from the effects of the ugly blows which the champion was in the habit of giving him in mo- ments of excitement. It IS strange, but true, that most of the notorious
 prize fighters and athletes die of con- sumption before reaching middle age. Science has not yet determined wheth- CT 1t is the battering and over-traing or bad whisky which carries them of.

From one Hon. Patrick Hamilton's recent papers on irrigation says the Tucson Citizen, published in the Phe- nix Gazette, the Salt River valley has 154 miles of waterways, constructed at the estimated cost of S626,000, carry ing 73,500 inches of water and irriga- ting 5000 acres of land. The Pueb- 10 Viejo valley, on the south side of the Gila, has 66 miles of canal, costing $43,O00, retaining ll,600 acres of land. He places the total length of waterways in the territory at 400 mil es, costing over 100000, and irriga- ting 250,0O0 acres.

It ;s d;tHcuH te set authentic new

It is difficult to get authentic news of any crime committed against Amer jeans in Mexico, but there is no ques tion that the sister republic is not a healthy place for the American miner. The better class of the Mexican people welcome the Americans, because they know that progress and development are sure to follow in their train. The rabble, however, largely composed of Mixed breeds, are intensely hostile to Americans, and most of the murders of our citizens below the border can be traced to this element. The repeated murders of American miners at Nacos ari should be investigated, and if the reports are proved to be true our Gov ernment should demand that the per petrators should be punished.

The House Committee on Public Lands have reconsidered the bill prev iously agreed upon to repeal the tim ber-culture, pre-emption and desert land laws. A motion was carried to report favorable bill to repeal the pre- emption law. A motion was made to report favorably bill to repeal the timber-culture law, but MT. Strait, as substitute, moved that the law be amended so as to declare the principle that once a timber-culture claim al ways a timber-culture claim. The ob- ject of this was to prevent frauds now arising from the taking up and subse- quent relinquishment of claims, for a consideration, to be entered as pre- emption or homestead claims. The committee decided to refer the matter to the Commissioner of the land office before reaching final conclusion.

The Senator said, in an in terview recently in regard to his resig- nation, that he did not care to say anything on that subject, but that he did want to correct certain rumors set afoat by misstatements of the press, that he was a candidate for the Presi- dency. He emphatically denied that he is candidate, or that he nor any of his friends were doIng anything to promote his nomination.

The first annual report of the Bur eau of Labor is completed and it will cover 300 pages. Under the head of Industrial Expressions of the United States" Commissioner Wright says: "From the observations of the agents of the Bureau and from other sources from which it has been possible to form conclusions, it is undoubtedly true that out of the total number of establish ments, such as factories, mines, etc., existing in the country, about 5 per cent were absolutely idle during 1885, and that perhaps five per cent more were idle part of the time; or for the first estimate seven and one half per cent of the whole number of such es- tablishment were in idleness during the past year. Applying the per cent ar rived at, we have a total of 99S,000 unemployed persons in 1885. A mil lion. men out of employment means the loss to the consumptive power of the country of at least Sl, 100000 per day or the crippling of the trade of the country by S3Oo,OO0,000 per year. It is curious to observe, however, that while the severity of the depression causes a crippling to the extent of sev- eral hundred millions per year of the consuming power of the people, the volume of business transacted is not crippled, comparatively, to any extent.
 The employment of contract labor of foreign importation and rapid i'm migration generally are the features which have a positive influence in crippling the consuming power. By the census of 1880 the whole number of people engaged in agriculture in the
 United States was 7,87O,S49. Into
 this number there has been absorbed | SI2,S29 foreign born. The total mum
 Der employed in manufactures, me chanical and mining industries wa'
 3.S37I12. of whom l,225,787 were O
 foreign birth. It will be seen at onc'
 that the tendency of immigrants IS t'
 assimilate with our mechanical indus tries. This is large increase in tn supply of labor in comparison to tn
 demand. It lowers wages, contribute to whatever over-production exists an'
 cripples the consuming power of tn whole. So far as investigation ha gone it indicates that the employmen of foreign labor under contract to dl'
 place dissatisfied home laborers ha
 been miserable failure for all partie ? concerned, except, perhaps, the partie : imported.
 As to the severity of the present 1T f dustrial depression and It's duration, can safely be asserted that the depre ! sion commenced early in 1882, and ha continued until the present time. A the present time, March 1886, the e , fleets of the depression are wearin } away, and all indications are that pro
 perity is slowly and gradually, bu
 safely returning"

Nice country Texas, says the Alta. It has large population of unhung murderers, who vote and influence courts and other agencies of public authority, but the liberal treatment extended to these is not given to other offenders. A woman was recently de- serted by her husband in this State, and after he gone for some time he connived at producing the impression with her that he was dead. Believing him to be so, after a long time she married again, and that second hus- band died. The first husband then ap- peared on the scene and prosecuted her for bigamy. It was proved that he had caused himself to. be represent ed as dead, and that her action likes the primary element of criminal inten- tion, but for all that, instead of lynch ing her husband, the jury found her guilty, and she goes to the penitentia- ry. Texas is democratic.
