leaving the train.
He says that about everything that
can be has been done to protect and

from appointing county officials for
the alleged new counties, and from
taking any action whatever under
this act until the further order of the
Court.
The writ was probably served
few minutes before midnight Satur-
day; but Mr.. Burkhart could not
learn positively whether or no this
was done. He does know, or believe,
that no decisive steps have yet been
taken to organize the counties of
Logan and Gilmore.

A great deal has been writ

A great deal has been written about the sentimentality of women towards murderers. It seems that a man has only to commit mur- der when women, who previous to that act would not have looked at him, bring flowers and books to his cell, and do everything they can to have a reprieve granted for him. On the other hand, the chances are that men are just as bad. When woman is sentenced to be hanged, as in the case of Mrs. Maybrick, We find that the men get about as sen timental in the matter as women are when hardened murderer is going to his just due. In fact, it looks like this, that the women don't want to see a man hanged, and the men don't want to see a woman hanged. - Detroit Free Press.

THE talk of the Philadelphia American and other Republican or gans against tariff-fostered trusts is very brave in sound but there is no force back of it. MT. Wharton Barker's journal declares very tru- ly that industrial trusts are public enemies" and says:
 "We repudiate them, as not only no offspring of the protective sys- tenn, but as an outcome of interests which have always assailed it. Pro- lection, so far from being called upon to tolerate them, is bound to denounce and crush them X * No place is open on the schedules of the tariff to an industry organ ized as a trust"
 ''If this doctrine were to be actu- ally applied in legislation by the Republicans and protectionists in Congress there would be tariff smashing" in earnest. Seven tenths, if not more, of the indus trial trusts in this country are the "direct offspring of the protective system" They are the logical re- suit of a tariff that gives favored producers and manufacturers con trol of the home market by shut ting out foreign competition. All that monopoly asks is opportunity. and this a high tariff gives it. If there be mo place open on the schedules of the tariff to an indus try organized as . trnst," the exist ing schedules and those proposed by the Senate will loose some of their most conspicuous features The sugar, lead, copper, linseed oil, white lead, and a score of other trusts must be denounced and crushed" If MT. Barker or any body else seriously imagines that the Republican Congress will do this he is capable of believing any thing. That party owes it's power to the money and influence ot the very class which it is proposed to assail. There are, no doubt, many earnest Republicans who think that the trusts should be attacked on their most vulnerable side But they are as powerless Tn the matter as a shingle in the current of Mag ra."-N.

i Constitutional Convention IIIe-
 gal.

Attorney-General Miller has de- cided in a letter addressed to the Secretary of. the Interior, under date of July 18th, 1889, and in an swer to letter of Governor Wolf Iey's dated June 26th, 1889, that the act authorizing the Constitutional Convention passed by the Fifteenth Legislature is nugatory and void.
 The following is an opinion of 1S35-Two opinions (of attorney generals) page 717 General Jack sons administration): 1.-The pow CTS of all the departments of the re- gular Territorial governments are derived from the acts of Congress, making rules for such governments, and cannot be exercised only in the manner and within the limits pre- scribed by their provisions; where fore Territorial Legislatures cannot. without permission from Congress, pass laws authorizing the formation of Constitutional and State govern ments. ."-Tucson Citizen.

WE publish the following in structions from Land Commission CT Stone to Registers of Land Off, ccs, in regard to lands subject to irrigation. After quoting the law, the Commissioner says:
 "The object sought to be accom- plished by the foregoing provision is unmistakabIe. The water sour es and arid lands that may be irri- gated by system of national irri- gation are now reserved, to be here after, when redeemed to agriculture, transferred to the people of the Territories in which they are situa- ted, for homestead, by act of Con- gress, and common justice requires that they should be faithfully pre- served for these declared purposes. The statute provides that all lands which may hereafter be designated or selected by the geological survey as sites for reservoirs, ditches or canals for irrigating purposes, and all lands made susceptible of irri- gation by such reservoirs, ditches or canals are, since the passage of the act, absolutely reserved for sale as the property of the United States, and shall not be subject, af- ter the passage of the act, to entry. settlement or occupation, until further provided by law, or the President by proclamation open said lands to settlement. Neither individuals or corporations have the right to make filings upon any lands thus reserved, nor can they be permitted to obtain control of lakes and streams that are suscept- ible of uses for irrigating purposes. You will therefore Immediately can eel all filings made since October P, 1888, on such sites for reservoirs, ditches or canals for irrigating pur- poses, and all lands that may be susceptible of irrigation by such reservoirs, ditches or canals, wheth- CT made by individuals or corpora tions, and you will hereafter re- ceive no filings upon any such lands. This order you will carry into effect without delay.

JOHA LLDELL, lIiO ISSlO ijIedClI- CT who was taken from Pittsburgh to South Carolina recently to be tried on charge of murder com mitted over five years ago, has had his trial and was acquitted. It will be remembered that the Republican press of the country made quite a howl over the arrest, and predicted that Yeldell would never be tried, that he would be hung by a mob, or shot down on his way to the place of trial. Notwithstanding all this, lie was tried in South Car olina by a white judge, a white jury, prosecuted and defended by white lawyers, and was acquitted. He was neither hung, shot, or oth- erwise mal-treated. The Philadel- phia Press, Republican paper, in commenting on this trial says:
 "The shortness of the trial and the promptness with which the yer dict of not guilty was rendered, in view of the fact that the prisoner called no witnesses, for the defense at all are certainly surprising. The testimony of the witness for the State must have showed very clear ly that the prisoner acted purely i'll self-defense aud under well-ground- ed apprehension that his life was in danger. Judge Pressley's charge to the jury and statement of the law, whose protection South Caro- lima negroes have the right to in yoke, does honor to the administra- tion of justice in that State. He instructed the jury, and his instruc- ton seems to embody the control ing fact in the case, that if the ne- groes, of which YeldeIl was one. supposed that there was party on foot determined to take and lynch them or do any violence to them, the colored people assembled had a right to congregate together there and resist arrest, and if Blackwell had his gun presented at the time he was shot, then it was not murder in whoever killed him." On this instruction and the evi- dence furnished by the State, the Pittsburgh preacher was acquitted. The fears of lynching which Yel- dell's friends entertained should he be carried back to Edgefeld have proved groundless. The whole af- fair has been conducted in man. ner higtiy creditable to Edgefeld County and the State of South Carolina, and we are glad ot the opportunity to place long mark to their credit for their disposition in this instance, at least, of a matter involving the always troublesome and trying race issues"

Rats 1!

ABBOTT, Texas, Aug. 21.--Rats by the thousand have invaded this section and occupy the prairies like prairie dogs. The like has never been seen here. They are large black rats, hungry as grass hoppers or locusts, and fierce with their hunger. They are destroying what vegetables are left and swarm in the corn fields, actually climb ing the stalks and eating the cora in the ear.

J.F. WALLACE, the Manager of The Herald has, as he tells it's read CTS in another column of this issue, gone on a trip of recreation to the famous trout fishing grounds in the White Mountains of Apache County, Arizona, accompanied by Henry Smith and Ernest Tee of the 24 Cattle Company.
 This is the first vacation that MT. Wallace has taken in about four years. He called upon the writer to "sub" for him during his absence knowing that he was opposed to him politically. He left with us the solemn injunction that we should not convert The Herald into black Republican paper. To this mandate we have agreed since Mir. Wallace has reposed in us this con fidence, besides, we know better than to attempt to steer Demo cratic craft into a Republican har- bor. We would not be allowed to land. But, all reference to politics aside, when one member of the craft preservative of all crafts, calls upon another for any relief within his power to honorably grant.
 During Mir. Wallace's absence The Herald will be devoted strictly to county and territorial matters of interest.

IT will be remembered that

IT will be remembered that the counties adjacent to the San Carlos reservation were greatly exercised because of the United States Su- preme Court deciding that trials of Indians devolved upon counties in which crimes were committed, and it was inferred that costs would necessarily be taxed upon the coun- ties where such trials were had, but now are rejoiced to know from Dis trict Attorney McCabe that the costs, notwithstanding the terrlto- ries are given jurisdiction, are paid by the United States. He referred us tn Sec. Il of the act of Congress, March 2d, 1889, which provides that the cost of the trials should be audited and paid in like manner as criminal cases in the courts of the United States.-Silver Belt.

 The Board of Supervisors do not propose responding to this call of the old Board of Equalization, but are awaiting the apportionment oi the new Board appointed by Gov Wolfley.

HE STOCKAIAN IS informed that several new brands of cattle have lately appeared upon Colfax coun- ty ranges, and there is a we'll grounded suspicion that parties are starting herds by methods that require no capital. These brands are not recorded as the law requires and no one appears to own them. A few years ago this same kind of business was started Tn the Pan handle and was nipped by the county commissioners making a general confiscation of all cattle bearing unrecorded brands, putting them in the hands of the sheriff and under his supervision slaught- cred by the local butchers, the pro- ceedS turned into the county treas ury. No one appeared to claim these cattle and the brand disap- peared.-Springer (N. M,) Stock man.
 We are credlbly Informed that there are a good many cattle in thls county of the above descrip- ton. Cattle that have been brand ed, with no such brand recorded and no one claims the stock or brand. It would not be bad idea for our Supervisors to follow the example set by the Supervisors oi Colfax county, N. M., and order the Sheriff to gather all such cattle sell them and place the money in the county treasury. Such a course would work no hardship or any honest man, and would go fal towards stopping the stealing oi cattle by men in the employ ot stOckmen. Try it, Messrs. Super yisots.
