 HERE are SD mauy Hues to the oyinions of ihe Star upou the final dis position oi the hostiies. most of whom are still uncaught, ths' almost every reader can be suited. They range from one extreme to the other and remind one of circus rider astride of two horses. In this instance. however. the gentle, civil hambleionian and the buck ing military bronco do not travel well under one saddle. On March 27th the Star demanded that the captured hos tiles be turned over tue civil authorities and Zuiick. and quoted the riot act the latter read to the obscure secretary of the interior, that the military be in- structed 'to turn them ove: to the civil authorities of the territory to be dealt with ID accordance with the measure of their deserts Rs provided by law" It said these were sensible words titly spoken and went on with long lines of reasoning why the clvil authorities should apply the hemp where il woald do the most good.
 The Star of to-day, however, poses as Mars. It is bristling with bayonets and shoulder-strsps and emphGticslly states that the military are better qualified to determine the punishment of their cspt;yes than the civil power" Itwants General Crook to be the judge and the

To the unbiased reader 1t looks like an attempt to bolster up bad cause by creating a wrong public sentiment with the testimony of parties whose oaths is 8 matter Of merchandise There is very weak nOurIshmeat for the conspirs.ors in the letters of Paul to Barron, published by the Star.

CENTRAL CROOK is bowed down with grief and sorrow over the unexpected turn of affairs with the hostile chief Ge- runimo and hIs followers, although he was utterly powerless to prevent it. He had hoped-we ell had hoped-thas the end of the Indian troubles was at hand, and that henceforth the red cloud would cast no more shadows of blood across our fair valleys nor change the white drsperies of joy into pals oi mourning and emblems of wee. No req sonGble mGn cGn find any cause for re- ioicing in this deep calamity on account of his desire to see the military forces humiliated. as many do; for the re- newal of the strife means a rich harvest for the great reaper, with a final tri' umph Of our arms. We sincerely regret the sudden blasting of our fondest hope and trust that the fstes will yet wiring brilliant victory from the apparent de feat.

IRRIGATION.

In Arizona, everything is grown by the Hid of irrigation. Outside Of few small elevated valleys in the northern part of the Territory, this system of eul- ;iva;ion is followed everywhere. The water IS brought from the river iD canals, anu then conveyed to the differ ent farms by means of lateral ditches Small gram requires to be flooded from two to four times during the season, while fruit and grasses require less water. Ia the Salt River Valley, ten canals, with united capacity of 60,0OO miners inches. have been constructed. The Arizona canal Is over forty miles long. has width of thirty-sIx feet on the bottom, is seven feet deep, and has capacity of 10000 inches. This great waterway cost S4O0,O00, and reclsims nearly 100000 acres of magnificent lard. In the valley or the GIle, number of canals have been taken out near Flor ence, and also near Stafford and Solo, mouvIlle. These canal enierprlses are owned and controlled by incorporated com mpanies, each share representing a quantity Of wat-r sufficient to irrigate loo acres.

THERE are some men living in our midst who still rIdicule the idea of any new railroads being constructed to Tue son, or reduction works built and are doing everything in their power to pre- vent their construction. They are some Of the fragments of clay the great archi- tect had left over when he had complet- ed the perfect man and he amused him self and utilized them in constructing a sort of parody, aud had too great re- spect for the monkey to add tail to them. Like the lowering pail Of death. these pessimlstic Intlictions are algsys with us, Tn greater or lesser numbers They sit upon the fence as birds of evil omen while others do the work, but they always manage to get in at the feast. In a time like the present, when the build ing of these enterprises mean so much for the prosperity of our city, the least word of Encouragement is treEsonRble Ian guage. We must all work in harmony and encourage any and every industry or investment in the interest of com munity prosperity. We lost the railroad that made its junction with the South ern Pacific at Benson. ID the most stu pid and censurable manner, and We have paid pretty heavy interest on the blunder.

IT seems to 5e the genera. impression that Secretary Manning's days ID the treasury are numbered. Even if he should recover he would require long rest. He has, no doubt, worked very hard and taken inadequate rest. The duties of the position were all new to him. He had had no experience in Washington. Journalism, lobbying, politics and banking had formed the circuit Of his experience. To assume the burdens of the treasury department, with pack Of hungry wolves bowling for admittance, was little too much for even his stout frame. So long as he hovers between life and deatt speculs- tior as to his successpr would be Tn bad taste, but there is, no doubt, good deal of vire-pulling already.-ChicaGo Inter Ocean.

Ex-CHIEF kRTENA has been brought from Alcstrsz to portray to Geronimo and bis fellow fiends the comforts L poor, convict Apache receives in that military prison, and the delights afford ed by the climate and the semi:civilIzed surroundings. They have plenty to eat and little work to do and it is an appreciated reward for the slaughter of the settlers in Arizona.

This is the worst piece of military bunElIng yet made in thls disgraceful campaign, and it demands q very close lgatioD. I has been more than once asserted that too much money IS involved Ill such au active campaign against the hostlles to bring 1t to 6 clOse so soaD, and there are many who are un- means for their escape were pur- posely arranged. It seems very sin gulsr that the Indians should be taken in custody and allowed the use of their arms and ammunition. as they undoubt- edly were. and that the leaders were no: manacled with heavy irons. They escaped with thelr women and their stock, and stock does not travel at the pace Of a cyclone. This last of series of the most dRmnabls blunders in the Apache campaign Is enough to en- rage the whole country at such a drivel- ing policy of warfare. There is no ex- cuse whatever, for the present existence of the leaders of the Indian iusurrection as they should have been shot ten minutes after they were taken prisoners. The scouts in tbe military employ have seen to it that the escapes are well pro- yided with the necessities for n struggle with the troops sent for their recepture. if the wrong scent is not given to the pursuing party by the scouts.

not admitted to the upper rooms of the hotel
aui the CLOSED coffin carried directly To
the hcarsc, and from the hcaISe to the
cemetery. BY his orders this tomb was
erected, and hc disappeared after the death rs
mysteriouSly rs he came. This in reality is
all that is known i'll regard to this my sterious
lady. Conjecture has run riot i'll explaining
the story, and the romance of haunted
cemetery and a hermit stranger who hangs
around il are whispered over Alexandria tea
tables. BY some it is thought that the female
stranger was an American, and 10y some she
is supposed To he the daughter of Aaron
Burr, Theodosia Burr, and the ship on which
she had embarked from Charleston disap-
pcared two years before the female stranger
died at Alexandria, and she was, 1 think,
older than - years Why the strangers hus-
band would permit no ono To see her face
after she was dead gives rise to the suppose
ton that he may have feared its recognition
by those who looked upon it. Another story
Is that the female stranger had two rival
lovers and that the successful one brought
her to this country to avoid the vengeance of
the other. Those who tell the latter story be
heve that the unsuccessful rival followed the
couple to this country, and murdered the
widower near Alexandria, and that this muir
der was the mysterious one for which Monroe
offered reward during his presidency The
circumstances are such, however, that
lectures of all kinds can be made in regard
to it. Remembering the wealth of Alexan-
dria at this time and the fact that it was
often visited by the diplomats and great men
of the Washington court across the river, it
may he that the lady n member of one of
the noble English families, and that her nus
band or lover, whoever Inc may have been,
feared that there might be sightseer who
would recognize her. Who she was will
never be told. The actors connected with her
burial are long since dead, and this tomb
alone remains as a monument of this my steri-
Gus love of seventy years ago.
