IN view Of the retirement of General Terry next April, the friends of Generals Crook and Miles are urging their res pecsive claims to the vacancy. General Crooks friends claim be IS entitled to it on account of seniority. That argument might hold good if General Crook had not been promoted to 6 brigadier over the head of General Miles ID 1873. At that time Miles WAS Colonel of the 9th Infantry and Crook Lieutenant Colonel of the 23rd Infantry. A good snd sufi- cient reason why Miles should jump Crook now, IS the fact that after Crook had made dismal failure in settling the Apache question, Miles stepped iu and accomplished In few monils, what Crook said coald not be done ID twenty years; and had the nerve to send the murderers to klorids in spite oi opposi- tion from the commanding general of the army. The people of Arizona and New Mexico are the best judges of the relative merits Of the two men, and they are almost unanimously in favor of General Miles.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1888-03-17

ARIZONA, and probably New Mexico also. is greatly ID need of an appellate eourt. Not @ court having jurisdiction over land grants but pure and simple, to rehear any and all cases appealed from the ruling of the lower or district court. Until such court IS established the right of appeal becomes practicsliy A dead letter, as 1t resolves itself into sn appeal for 8 rehesring before the same tribunal winch had previously gwen judgment against the appellant. It Is useless to say that the judge ofthe court wherein this particular case was heard' withdrsws from the bench pending lts examination ou briefs submitted, m order that his two conierees msy neither be embarrassed nor influenced by his presence, in favor of the previous rulipg, for as a rule, 1t IS as safe with them as if he again sat alone upon 1t. Were they to reverse his judgments, he would reverse theirs aud however much may be said to the contrary, no man, be he Iaymsn or judge. cares to see his decisions overturned. Consequently, as matters now stand, 1t is @ case of I'll tickle you. and you tickle me. Hence the necessity of sn appellate court with sepsrste and exclusive jurisdiction on sll cases going up from the lower court. We say this without reference to any particular court or case, for sn appellate court we regard as an absolute necessity not a new one but one ss old as the district court system itself Arizona and New Mexico could be placed under the same jurisdiction and the appeal cases in these two territories would give the court ample occupation. The judges should be men of unblemished integrity and eminent in their profession. They should be well sslsried and given life term of office unless removed by im- peschment for just cause.

TIE Arizons Silver Belt, which comes about as near being right as paper can well get, says in commenting on the home rule proposition, as put forth oy the Tucson Democratic Club:
 "It is now proposed to elect NIT Cleveland to a second term, and II such plank IS inserted, in a political consl- tuition, can we hope that he, if elected will stultity himself by going back on his previous record by giving effect to the EIll of the democratic party, even when re-e1pressed by national nominating convention."
 Well, hardly ever. If. with his l6inch neck, be was able to bolt the platform or ls6i, when the democratic party was supposed to control him, he will in mo- Eise "stultity himself" now that he con trols it. If in 1884 when the logs and brush had been so carefully cleaned out ot the way he was told he should go, he saw proper to ignore this clause: "The selection Of federal officers for the terri toiles should be restricted to citizens previously resident therein" which had been deftly doyetsiled ID to the demo cratic platform, il is hardly probable thst the "whereiores" and whereas" and "be 1t resolved" in the Declaration of Pnnciples of the Tucson Demooratic Cub will cause him to trrn upeasily in his presidential bed

Pumping Water.

Irrigation of vineyards by pumping the water from below the surface IS a new undertaking in Arizona, but south ern California have prsoticed this sys- lem for years and, in most cases, with re- msrksble success.
 The motive power, in many cases. IS supplied by windmills. These cover but limited area, but several orchsrdists have adopted steam power which pump water for extensive tracks. A leading fruit grower of the southern part of the state, who depends entirely upon this method for the raising of crop, fur nishes the follow data. With a six- inch pump, driven by s tventy-horse power engine, l have raised ,SOO gal Ions per minute. The price of such a pump, including engine, boiler sn1 all steam fittings, is Sl 400. To cover sn acre of land one inch deep with water. requires, in round Dumuers, 23.OOO gal Ions. One miners inch being nine gal Ions nearly, 1t would require to cover 2l acres one inch deep, 2,555 inches, or 450,0O0 gallons. This would be at the rate of 800 gallons or 80 miners inches a minute. The total cost of running such a pump, including fuel and wages, will not be over g. for each working day of tan hours. which would make she cost of placing the 4S0.0O0 gallons. on the land sbou. one cent per 1000 gallons. This from a depth of 9 feet. To raise the same quantity of water from depth of 30 feet would cost about S7. or l{ cents per 1000 gallons" ThIs system of lifting water for irrigsting purposes is meeting with great favor in many quar- ters where there IS a scarcity oithe fluid, or where canal corporations charge e1- horbitant rates, and the people of this valley will watch with interest the opera ton of the new vineyard at Msricopa station. which will, when completed. be one of the largest in the world. If this new enterprise proves successful many more of like character will be insugerst- cd. The lands in that vicinity are splen- didly adapted to grape culture and we fondly hope that the enterprise will aucoeed.-Geztte.
