migrants should be made to pay a per capita immigration tax, and 10 remain politically, the subjects of their respective governments until the expiration of the twenty-one year probative limit shall have fully expired. Such a law as suggested would result in diminution of the now increasing tide of undesirable immigration; and would practical ly disbar that class of immigrants, which of late years. has been pour ing into the country from Italy, Po- land, Russia, Bohemia, Sclavonia, the riff-raff class of people from the Austrian provinces. Remember then all ye bread winners, that the successful accomplishment of this great work depends upon you alone and that 1t cannot possibly be done without a thorough organization, united under one head for legisla- tive purposes.

A Chief Magistrate Robbed.

Litchfeld, IiI., Sept. 24th.-A stranger came here, and was very inquisitive as to where the wealthy citizens lived and the time they generally went home of evenings.
 He met a young man who gave him the desired information and took Eim in as confederate. The young man informed the officers of the fact and as to the place of the media cd robbery. Marshal Leon ard and Constables Loyd and Flushing and two picked men re- paired to the place, secreted them selves and had Mayor Wilton walk out that way in order to be Eeld up and capture the robber. Arriving at the place, the mayor was request ed to throw up his hands. He of course obeyed, and the robber gave his supposed confederate his revol- and told him told him to sec that his victim did not move. The first thing the robber did was to take the may OTIS revolver from him. Then he relieved him of his cash and valuables. At this point his confederate placed the robbers re- volver in the mayors hand, and then Marshal Leonard and his four men appeared on the scene. The robber was commanded to surren- der, but instead of that he com menced shooting. He fired three shots and the officers fifteen. The robber then pulled knife and ran past the whole detail of officers and escaped, taking the may OTIS valua- ble with him.

The Denver News says: Superin- tendent Bancroft, of the Rio Grande Western has instructed his train dispatchers to give the newspapers all the facts they may ask for re- garding train wrecks and accidents and to withholding nothing that will prevent reporters from giving authentic accounts. Superinten- dent Bancroft expects thus to avoid sensational reports that do more harm to railroads than the real facts could possibly do. Superin- tendent Bancroft's head is level, and if other roads would issue the same order they would have less to com plain of regarding false or exag- gerated reports.

TIE ST. JOINS HERALD protests against the action of the Territo- rial Board of Equalization in rais- ing the assessment on cattle in Apache county from $50 to Sl2.55 per head. The HERALD is right, as there is doubtless not q herd nf cat H. in that county that could be sold for $l2.55 per head to-day. Why the Territorial equalizers should discriminate against this-the lead Ing industry of Arizona-is beyond our ken. The next legislature of the Territory would, We believe, be doing a wise thing if it would wipe out the Territorial Board of Equal ization, which has proved itself to be neither ornamental nor useful.

ALBERT F. BANTA. St. Johns, Sept. 30, 1889.
Judicial Farce and Outrage.

The Optic, very able Republi- can paper of Las Vegas, New Mex leo, has the following article on the decision of Judge Sawyer:
 Any sou:,d lawyer exercising his unbiased judgment knows per fectly we'll that Judge Sawyer, of the. United States circuit court, had no jurisdiction whatever over Nagle, charged with the murder of Judge Terry in California, but neverthe- less he exercised it and discharged Nagle on the habeas corpus pro- ceeding. There isn't lawyer in New Mexico, no matter if he grades as a pettifosger, who doesn't know that Judge Sawyer usurped the jur- isdiction he exercised in that case. The judge filled many columns of a newspaper with his learned and elaborate opinion trying to justify the act, but it was hair splitting from beginning to end, and pal pably weak effort to make a wrong judicial act appear right. If the United States circuit court had jurisdiction in the case, there is no reasoning on earth to prove that it hasn't jurisdiction of every murder case in California, and a gentleman of Judge Sawyer's flexible legal views might easily have gone a sttp further and insisted that his court had an exclusive right to try the case thus cutting off the State courts from the Door privilege of concur rent jurisdiction. Nagle did right in killing Terry and his act has been approved by the press and people generally of the United States, but it was an outrage on the law and on the State uf California to have his case tried before q Fed eral judge. An appeal has been taken from Judge Sawyer's decision to the Supreme Court of the United States, but it is unfortunately true that courts are very, very human, and when their interests a:e enlist ed, they can twist and adapt their decisions to the exigencies of the case with the facility of hired at- torney. Judge Field being mem Der of the Supreme Court, it would never do to hurt his feelings by re- versing Judge Sawyer's decision, but if old John Marshall was on the bench he would see Sawyer. Field and everybody else a good deal fur ther before he would concur in any such rape on the law. The specta- cle of the Supreme Court of the United States assuming jurisdic- ton of California murder case is enough to make the renowned jur- ist shudder in his shroud."

The reporter of the Las Vegas Optic was expelled from the Con- stitutional Convention gatherings at Santa Fe for publishing some account of the proceeding that did not suit the formers of the organic instrument. The Kingston Shaft in commenting on this outrage says:
 "The Constitutional Convention so far lost its balance and dig nity that it expelled the reporter of the Optic republican newspaper, for commenting upon one of it's measures in the columns of that paper. It seems strange that a body of men, republicans at that, acting in public assembly, should so far forget themselves as to at tempt to suppress either individual orpablic opinion. In this America of ours every man has the inher- ited right of his opinion as we'll as the right to express it. The assured arrogance of body of men under taking to suppress opinion, IS a principle born of system of peon- age that seems to attach itself to men of an classes in the clarified air of Santa Fe with the same firm grasp that smallpox does Mexi- can on the Rio Grande. According to the published report not mem- Der of the Convention raised his voice against this unjust and un- American idea of expulsion. The principle of q free speech andi q free press," must be sustained in New Mexico as elsewhere, or We are not even fit for the rights of ter ritory under the glorious idols of the stars and stripes"

Crime and Capital Punishment.

There Is little room for sentiment in considering the solemn spectacle at the Tombs on the 24th inst. The for brutal muderers who were hang ed richly deserved their fate. They were tried under code of laws that gives the criminal the benefit of every reasonable doubt. Their cases were reviewed by appellate tribu- nals. Nor do we think that this quadruple execution affords good ground for an agitation against cap ital punishment at this particular time The horrible murder which was committed in Brooklyn on the very eve of the ghastly judicial trag- edy shows that the fear of death by hanging is not an effective shield against crime. The assassin had probably read all the details of the impending executions. And yet he went into peaceble citizens house to rob it and deliberately prepared himself to slay the owners rather than to be captured. But it seems to us that the real defect of our system is not in the penalty, but rather in the prncastinating me- thods of our courts. If the law is to have terrors for criminally dis posed men and women 1t must be executed swiftly and surely. The delay and red tape which charac- terize proceedings against law breakers are standing encourage ment to crime.-New York Herald.

AFTER MANY YEARS
How Ed Graham, the Actor, Met
His Brother.
THE CHICAGOES NEW PITCHER.
A New Trick at Harvard, Which it is
Claimed VIII Win-News Notes
of the Turf.

It is not often that brothers are separated
from each other for twenty-five years. When
they do meet after such long separation, an
affecting scene is always in order. But this
was not the case with Gus Graham, formerly
of NewmarkS wholesale grocery house and
now a stone mason, and his brother Ed Ora
ham, who plays the character of Gen. Kniclz-
srbocker in the Little Tycoon" Gus is well
known in Los Angeles, and is considered a
whole souled, hail fellow well met, says The
Tribune Of that city.
The brothers had not seen each other for
over twenty-five years, and upon Mr.. Ora
hams the actor arrival in this city he hunted
up his brother Gus. Learning his place Of
employment he went to see him. Gus saw
Ed approaching, but did not pay any par
ticular attention to him. Standing by Gus
was the foreman of the place, to whom he
remarked: 'See that fellow coming this way?
Well, he is my brother. Haven't seen him in
twenty-five years" And he kept on striking
his chisel with the heavy mallet The actor
approached his brother. Gus, looking up and
without ceasing his work, said:
"Hello!n
"Why, hello, Gus" responded Ed, some
what surprised at his brothers actions, don't
you know mel"
YES; you're my brother; haven't seen you
in twenty-five years. Eh' He still kept on
with his work
"WeIl, won't you shake hands with meg"
asked Ed
YES; but my hands are rather dirty. Wait
until wash them" The work Of preparing
the stone for the building progressed as usual
Coming to see me at the theatre to-night!"
asked Ed.
n/'No, guess not; saw you make a fool out of
yourself once; don't want to see you do so
again"
"rll give you tickets if you will come"
"Don't want em. Making So a day and
can pay my way"
Gus went to the show, however, and en-
joyed Eds clever work.

A Now Harvard Trick.

The Harvard baseball men have Matched
up a trick which they claim will catch nearly
every opponent who is lucky enough to steal
second base. 1t is played between the pitch
err, third baseman and short stop, and its OBJ
ject is to confuse the player who may be
stealing from second to third base. 1t is, US
nearly as can be described, as follows: The
player who has succeeded in reaching second
base, on seeing that baseman step back to his
usual position, about ten feet back of the
base line, steals several feet down the path
toward third. When he is about in front of
short stop that player makes a dash toward
second base, which causes the runner to dart
in that direction also; but the short stops run
is only feint, and the runner, on seeing the
short stop stop, also stops before reaching sec
ond, and the pitcher throws the ball to the
second baseman, who is on base, and whom
the runner has entirely forgotten, and the
runner is out.-New York Sun.
