It is needless to argue the disas-
trous consequences of the whole State
if his scheme succeeds. While the
farmers of the State compose by far
the majority of the citizens and prop
erty of the State, and their rights and
interests should be jealousy guarded,
yet it is midsummer madness to say
that on this account all the honesty
and virtue is lodged in the farmers
and that all the other citizens of the
State are 'robbers" Such charges
are groundless, and can have no other
than the most damaging effect upon
the welfare of the State.
From the Ne,cberry Observer.
We fear farmer Till,nan is dealing
in clap-trap. We suspect be is play
ing the dcmagogue. Mr.. Tillman
says: ''This is a farmers State, and
farmers should govern it" That is a
mistake. This is not a farmers State;
nor merchants State; nor lawyers
State; nor the State of any other class.
1t is the State of the whole people.
And he is not doing right who is try
ing to array one class of citizens
against another. We are sure the
best farmers do dot sympathize with
Mr.. Tillman in this attempt.
(Frcna the Marion Star.)
We hope soon to hear the bugle
blast of economy resounding from one
end of our State to the other and that
the farmers-the men who make and
constitute our State-will be the chief
blowers. The time has come for the
farmers to strike and if they will dare
do and constitute themselves in a body
it will not be long before they will re-
alize who holds the balance of pow
er
From the Lawens -4dvertiser)
The trouble is not so much in the
laws of the land as in the laws that
regulate the farm. We heartily favor
any measure that promotes the Agri-
cultural interest, but it is a great mis-
take to suppose that Legislature
composed entirely of farmers could
dispel the depression that seems to
have settled over the Country.
(From the Ne,c5eTy Herald and Ne,Us,(
We have very little faith in an ag-
ricultural college any way, and we do
not believe one after Mr.. Tillman's
model, with farmers composing the
board, and Mr.. Tillman one of the
number, would be of any great bene-
fit to our farmers. On the farm is
the place to learn farming,

EXPERIENCE oF OPlNI0N.

The Board of Supervisors of Pima County are possessed of a faith such as is spoken Of in the Bible that re- moves mountains. It shuts its eyes to the bloody trails of the Chiricahuas, the freshly made graves which a com paratively small number of these Apaches have caused to be tenanted by men, women and children of our Territory, whom 1t was Crooks duty to have protected, and notwithstanding the bloody evidences of Crooks in capacity, both in Arizona, New Mexlco and the state of Sonora, the members of that board have placed themselves upon record as having tte utmost con- fdence in his ability to master the Chiricahuas. The United States grand jury, which previously met in Tucson, was, to say the least, not only skeptieal of Cooks ability to afford Iss Fe4c ct. ssszt1 aslo a -piesentinen5 fu relation to hislnterference in the ex- ecution of the criminal law in behalf of "Dutchy," Chiricahua, under in- dictment for the murder of Jacob s. Ferrer on the San Carlos Reservation in July 1883.
 The conclusion of this report is as follows: "The action of Gen. Crook in the whole matter has been so eva sive, and with the apparent desire and intention of protecting a murderer, we have presented the facts of the case that the court may take such steps as it may deem proper"

MARTIAL LAW.

The Citizen expressed the belief that Governor Zullck and others were shaping matters in Arizona with a view to placing the Territory under martial law. That can only be done when civil courts are silent. When courts are open it is a time of peace in judgment of law. So sensitive were our Revolutionary fathers on this subject, although Boston was al most in a stage of siege, when Gen. Gage issued his proclamation fmartlal law, they streauously opposedit. The Flrginian assembly denounced simi- lar measure on the part of Governor Dunmore. During the war of 1872, where citizens were arbitrarily ar rested by order of military tribunals, they were invariably discharged by civil courts. Mir. Milligan, in the state of Indiana, was arrested, tried and condemned to death by military process, but through the inter ference of civil courts he regained his liberty The power to declare martial law is derived from congress. In the case of MiIligan it was declared that where Federal authority has not been op- posed, and the courts are open for the trial of offences and redress of griev- ances, the usages of war cannot, under the constitution, afford any sanstion fer 6d+ trial of citizen in civil life by military tribunal, for any offence whatever.
 The habeas corpus act winch became a law in 1879. in England, while not made applicable, in express terms, to the American colonles, 1t nevertheless, was engrafted upon our system of laws and Is much the same in its es- seutlal provisions as when first en- acted, and to that writ the citizen must look for redress when illegally deprived of his liberty by a military order by authority ot a presumed martial law which will not bear crucial test et 9 civil court.

The National Republican, of Dec. 26th, gives as the result of exhaustive inquiry concerning future decisions in the H0uss9f Representatiyes -reqald- ing the suspension of silver coinage, a table showing that 143 Democrats and 52 Republican are against suspension, and 39 Democrats and 91 Republicans favor it. The noticeable feature in connection with the matter is the division of members upon sectional lines. The west and south are prac- tically unit for the coinage, while the eastern and middle states appear to be almost solidly in favor of its sus- pension.

D. W. Dilda, the murderer ofDepu- ty Sheriff Murphy, was arrested at Ash Fork, on Thursday morning last, and taken to Prescott On Thursday evening a man arrived from Walnut Creek, the scene of the murder, stating that the body of the man Jenkins, who had been missing about two weeks, had been found in a gulch behind Dilda's house. Dilda will have his trial at this term of court, but the feeling against this blood-thirsty mur- derer Is so strong that he is liable to be lynched at any moment.

 The Chiricahuas, who recently raid ed the White Mountain Indian camps. numbered fifteen, and were headed by twowar chiefs. Geronimo was not with them. The principal killing was done west of the wagon road from Thomas to Apache and east of the San Carlos and. Apache trail, in the pineries. The raiding Indians crossed the Gila about five miles above the San Carlos build ings. The Chiricahua who was killed by a White Mountain Indian, who was hunting, was carried a number of miles by his Chiricahua confederates and covered with rocks, where the body was subsequently, found by the White Mountain Indians, who be- headed the deceased and carried the head to Fort Apache. They were savagely destructive of cattle, killing them wherever seen.

TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,
 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

To THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA: It Is with regret I feel called upon to notice officially the inAammatory ap- peals made to the passions and preiu- dices of the people of this Territory upon cur Indian difficulties. I earnestly entreat citizens, by dis countenancing lawlessness, to prove that Arizonans, in yielding obedience to law, furnish the highest test of citizenship.
 No wrong was ever corrected by sacrificing right
 The peaceful Indians occupy the San Carlos Reservation by authority of law. The Federal Government will give them protection. An unlawful attack upon them would aggrayate our present troubles and subject us to the just condemnation of the civilized world.
 The hostile Chiricahua Apache reu- egades, murderers and thieves, I am officially informed, twill be pursued until their capture or utter destruc- ton Is effected. No effort will be spared by the Government to bring them to deserved punishment and give protection to life and property in Arizona" --. I, therefore, beseech citizens to guard the good name of the Territory, by discouraging indictment to unlaw- ful deeds. Our peace and prosperity depends upon maintenance of law and preservation of order. I warn all evil and unlawfu!Iy disposed persons, that the power of the Federal and Territorial Governments will be evoked to preserve the rights and re- dress the wrongs of all persons within our borders.

Captain W. J. Parks, commanding the citizen rangers, under date of the 27th, reports fifty Indian scouts at Duncan, under the command of a U. s. Lieutenant, in a state of insubordi- nation; that they had absolutely re- fused to obey orders, and when told to follow the trail of the hostiles they left his command and walked to the top of a high rocky peak, placing cartridges in their guns and defed the officer to compel them to follow the trail. Parks also says the official reports place the number of citizens killed within a month by the band of Indians he had been following, at thirty-three. He also states tour whole country is so exposed that every man, woman and child feel as if they were constantly menaced and threat ened with death from the hands of the Indians"

the stronger reason why the work should
not be neglected. Yet II IL an odd Job,
and at best q disa9rceable one. Hence
miles of undertaking arc allowed to
become nearly or quite worthless for lack
of the needed attention at the right
time. All the materials for the drain,
either stone or tile, are ready ut hand,
and it requires only labor to put them in
place.
When filling in after break has been
repaired there will be strong temptation
to use more stone or to place over the
drain covering of straw or other coarse
material for the water to filter through.
The less material is used, excepting earth
over the drain, the better its chances for
durability. Too many stones are frequent
cause of failure. They are disturbed by
deep frosts, and if the drain itself is
loosened some stones are apt to cave In
OH it. Straw and hay, sometimes used,
are even worse. They prevent the earth
from being packed closely around the
drain In year or two they decay and
leave vacant space over the water
course, which is only broken down when
the soil is thoroughly saturated with
water. If soil containing any vegetable
matter is packed closely around tae stone
or tile there need be no fear that watel
will not find it's way Off through the drain

The Wild Carrot Nuisance.

There is no question -hat the wild car
rot is the degenerate offspring of Guilt
waited carrots, left to seed and grow for
years without cultivation. 1t is all the
greater post for the fact that it will
thrive on any kind of land, and will both
grow and seed Oh sod, where, of course,
it's root has no opportunity to develop.
But it has so degenerated that even the
best cultivation would not produce crop
of eatable roots from wild carrot seed.
When comparatively scarce in clover pas
ture or meadow the wild carrot may be
pulled out by hand after heavy rains 1t
is easily seen at a distance by it's white
blossom, standing higher than the clover
But where it has once seeded heavily
hand pulling is inpracticable. The only
sure way to get rid of it is to pillow and
reseed with clover, repeating this process
so long as the wild carrot continues to
be too abundant to pull Moving it
down does no good, for it will shoot up
from the stump and perfect it's seed. If
followed too persistently for this it will
live over winter and perfect it's seed the
following season. Owing to the difficulty
in keeping this seed down carrot seed
should not be grown except where great
care is taken that, none of it's seeds are
scattered about the farm.
