The annual report of the commissioner
al the general land office il in the hands
Of the printer and win be given TO the
public in "a few days.
Like several Of his predecessors i'm Of
flee, Mr.. Stockslager recommends legisla-
ton for the prevention OF frauds in
relation TO the requirement OF title 10
public lands, and expresses, i'm no uncer-
tain language, the opinion that the pre-
cmption, timbcrculture, desert land. and
homestead laws SO far as relates to the
Communication clause. should be repealed
or greatly modified, and that the public
domain should be- devoted exclusively to
the use and benefit Of persons who in
good iaith desire the same for actual
homes.
An enormous array Of testimony IL in
PRODUCED tending TO show that the laws
above mentioned admit OF the perpetra-
ton Of frauds, are detrimental To the
settlement OF the country, and operate
to defeat the best interests OF the govern
ment which demand that the lands shall
be actually occupied by bona fdecitizens
and settlers owning their homes.
The repeal OF the presumption, desert
land and Communication clause of the
homestead laws is advocated because
they afford opportunities by which UNI
scrupulous spectators, with the aid of
constituencies confederates used as dunn
my settlers, are enabled 90 acquire title
To vast areas OF land To be held for sale
at advanced prices or To be leased to
families who by reason of their greed are
prevented from securing homes of their
own. They tend to the erection in this
country of a landlord and tenant system
similar to those of some European coum-
tries. inconsistent with the principles of
our government, and to build up land
ed aristocracy.
The timber-culture law is denounced,
not because title To land IL frequently
fraudulently secured under the same, but
because IL operates 10 reserve the lands
from settlement Tor period of years
without any equivalent TO the govern
nent, and with but little cost to the
timber-culture entryman. The entry oil
$50 acres costs but n small sum ms fee
and commissions. Nothing is required
OF the entryman for one year, then he
must break five acres OF the land-at n
trilling cost. During the next year he
must cultivate the five acres already
broken and break another five acres.
The next year he is required TO plant five
acres TO timber ind cultivate the other
five acres to timber.
Thus, ut a tritling expense, the party
may for four years exercise complete con

 Sec. 2. That the said sum so paid shall, by said secretary of war, be expen. ded in boring artesian wells on the pub. lie lands in said territory, and in making photographic survey of said territory, and from such survey ascertain as near as may be, the pract,bility of storing the waters of said territory in reservoirs or other receptacles for the purpose of irri. gating the public lands.

ARIzoNA'S GOVERNOR.

While passing through Kansas City on his return fromthe east, couple of weeks ago, Gov. Zulick was interviewed by News reporter as follows:
 "Mr. C. Meyer Zulick, Arizona" is the way the Governor of Arizona registered at the Coates House. Shortly after, an Evening News reporter called upon the Governor while he was enjoying a smoke, and found rather bald-headed, bright-eyed, .moustached man, slightly under the medium height and solidly built.
 In answer to question he said: "I am on my way back to Arizona from Washington, where have been for some time to attend my daughters wedding. When left the Territory everything was in first-class condition.
 "What do you mean by 6rst-class con- dition?"
 "Well, our various interests. People in the States think we raise but two things in Arizona, cactus and coyotes. That's where they make grea. mistake. Arizona has three great interests-mining cattle raising and agriculture. Tie lat ter includes horticulture. Our Southern belt produces the same fruits as Califor- ma, only about three weeks eariier. The fruit and grapes are if anything better Our soil IS we'll adapted to agriculture our mounta aims to mining, and our plain: to cattleraising."
 "Is the population increasing"
 "Yes indeed. The tide of emigration is turning in our direction. People are tired of going to the cold. barren North west when they can come to the warm golden Southwest. Our population i: increasing rapidly"
 "And the Indians?"
 "Are all on the resrvation and are quiet"

 "Though we have a border of foul hundred miles ot border on Mexico the, give us little trouble. They are gooc neighbors, though they do smuggle con traband articles across the border; bu then yCu need not mention that fact IT the Evening News"
 | "How is President Cleveland though of in the Territories"
 "He is we'll thought of, not only ther. bu, in the States that l have recent, travelled through. He is giving us ; business administration on business principals. Some politicians think tha his message was rather inexpedent, as i might drive more friends from hi party than it would gain from hi foes. It was brave, courageous and man 1 ly at any event. It called the attention of the entire country to the fact tha both parties had proven faithless to ,th' pledges made to reduce the surplus il the Treasury and to lower the war tariff which is burden to overloaded tax payers. 1 believe he will be nominate and reelected.

4tbegins to look very much like war in Europe. The Czar has asked substantial recognition of the rights of Russia to control Bulgaria and Roumania, and that he shall do away with Prince Ferdinand and the Snoranie, appoint Russian Com ,rnissioners, with Turkish colleagues, who shall recognize the government and army and control the election for a new So- braje, and finally that he shall be allowed to occupy Bulgaria with Russian troops as long as he shall see ft. That these demands will never be conceded by Ger many and Austria until they hay, been whipped is certain. The recent alliance of these two countries with one another. and with Italy, and the publication of the treaty, together with BIsmarck's speech, showed thls, even if il had not been evl. dent already. If the Czar has really made such demands he will either nave to back out of it, or he will have the big gest fight on hIs hands that any ruler oi Russia has ever had. His demands fol- lowing the treaty of alliance and the speech of Bismarck, indicate that he means business. A war would involve Germany, Austria and Italy, on one siee, and Russia and France on the other. oueh a contest would probably exceed in magnitude and boodiness any war ever fought on earth.

In answer to the editorial of the Pros pector, we publish the opinion of Col. Parker, principal of the Cook County Normal School, near Chicago, the head and originator of the "New Educat.on,' and man who is considered one of the most progressive teachers in the United States:
 the choice between anarchy, mis. rule and comparative order must be made, am bound to recommend, in such cases, the judlcious use of rattan. Corporal punishment is far preferable to scolding; that turns the sCh0ol-room into perpetual washing day. It IS pre- ferable to many inventions that have been discovered to avoid straightfor. ward punishment-such as shutting children up in dark closets, making them stand for hours on the floor, sending them home, or keeping them after school [ II you punish in anger. you simply en- hance the fficulty. Anger begets anger The sting of the rod must be accom- panied by the genuine sympathy of real love-"
