Alnska Paid For.

The United States paid s7,500,- 900 for the Territory of Alaska,
 and at the time there was much unfavorable criticism regarding the expediency of the purchase. It
 was objected that the territory was not needed and that it was a mere waste of money. But we are begin ming to reap the fruits of the pur- chase. The money received by the Government for the seal fisheries is all ready s7,OoO,OOO, while an in- direct reyeue has accrued of a, ,000,- 900 more. Thus, as a financial venture, the purchase has proved a good one. If the country should prove to be filled with minerals, especially gold and silver, the wis. dom of the purchase would become more apparent. There are many indications of the existence of gold there and a thorough exploration of the region ought to be made. Be sides timber is abundant, and as we are rapidly consuming ours nearer home, the time is near when it will be necessary to draw sup plies from the Alaskan forests for our own use. -Bankers' Magazine.

Timely Action.

The secretary of the Beef pro ducsrs and Butchers National as- sociation, with commendable zeal for the protection of the cattle in. terests of the United States, has requested the secretary of agricul. ture to use his friendly offices with the mexican government to secure the enforcement of such measures as will prevent the introduction of bovine plaques into that country, which would sooner or later spread to our own herds. .i h
 The pastoral interests of Mexico are being very rapidly developed and in consequence the demands for thoroughbred and high grade bulls with which to improve the native stock is constantly increasing, pre-. senting growing menace to the health of the cattle of Mexico while cattle continue to be imported from countries where contagious bovine diseases exist, without inquiry as to whether they are diseased or have been exposed to disease. Mexico is withou any live stock sanitary laws. and is at the mercy of unscrupu. bus traders who may purchase cat tie suitable for the Mexican trade at less than market prices in infected districts and ship them to Mexico without let or hindrance to breed pestilence and death over the broad plains of our sister republic and the ranges of our own country. -f-.
 When it is remembered that the introduction of single COW infect ed with contagious pleuro-pneumo- mia into Australia nearly destroyed the herds of that country and made the formerly prosperous business of cattle raising unrenumerative. 1t will be seen how great is the danger to which Mexican cattle interests are exposed, if. l.a.
 When it is considered also that the boundary line between Mexico and the United States is constantly passed and repassed by the cattle of the two countries which intermingle over an area extending across the continent it will be readily seen that whatever danger threatens the health of the herds of Mexico threatens also the health of the cat tie of the United States. For. these reasons it is as important for the government of the United States to see that the government of Mexico properly protects the health of the cattle of that country, as it is to extirpate disease when found in our owa cattle. gu

Death Penalty tor T.aia Robbing.


 The bill passed by the Fifteenth legislature making train robbing punishable by death, and which received the signature of the gover, nor, and is now the law of this territory, was introduced by Hon, Lew Martin, of Pima county, n railroad engineer on the Southern Pacific railroad. The New Mexico legislature at its session two years ago passed similar law, since when, no train robbery has occurred in that territory. The following is the full text of the Arizona law, being the second bill introduced in the house: s r.. Y Defining certain otfenses against the
 public peace. ---s-' Re it enacted by the legislative as sembly of the territory of Arizona;
 SECTION l. If any person or persons shall willfully and mali ciously make any assault upon any railroad train, railroad cars, or rail road locomotives within the terri tory, for the purpose and with the intent to commit murder, robbery or any other felony upon or against any engineer, conductor, fireman brakeman or any officer or employe connected with the said locomotive, train or cars, or any express mes senger or mail agent on the train or iu any of the cars thereof, on conviction thereof shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and shall suffer the punishment of death.
 Sec. 3. Any and all re-sons, who shall counsel, aid, abet and assist in the perpetration of the of fense or cf the ofienses set forth in the preceding section, on conviction thereof shall, be deemed to be prln- cipals and shalI suffer the punish ment herein prescribed.
 Sec. 3. Upon the trial of any and all persons charged with the violation of this act, it shall not be necessary to prove, nor shall it be deemed material to u conviction, that the defendant or defendants specifically intended to commit the offense, or any of them, herein set forth, upon or against particular person, but it shall be sufficient if it is proven to the satisfaction of the court and jury trying the cause, as the result of such unlawful as- sault, some person or persons was killed, robbed or injured, as the case may be, or that such assault was perpetrated with the design to com init some felony. a
 Sec. 4. This act shall be in full force from and after it's passage.
