The Proper Way.

The movement hy the governor to ask congress by legislation to help him and his appointees out of their difficulties is impracticable. Congress as now eQnstituted and its narrow ma jority has enough to do, and it will be long time before congress acts. Only by substantially unanimous consent can any law be passed op this subject and this proposed law will arouse pro nonnced opposition. This is not the method. Governor Wolhey should de- mand of his appointees that they go into the courts and maintain their rights If they have aHy, ag he should remove them and appoint men who will do so, or quit. This muddle should not be allowed to last longer. It has lasted too long already. The territory is suffering under it. The people lave rights as well as the poli- tician, and 1t Is the duty Of the eyecu- tive to see to it that these rights are respected so far as it lies in his power to enforce these rights. The Star re- peSts, the court is the tribunal where the laws of this territory should be in terpreted. The Attorney general, the secretary of the interior, or the gov epnor, cannot be accepted as the legal advisers of the people of Arizona Neither have they the power to make binding their construction Of the law This is the business of the courts and to this tribunal this whole bus inesss should have been submitted lonl sgq.

IN CUSTODY.
The Brutal Murderer oT Peter VerdieI
 Under the Shadow of the GalIows.

Charles E. Genung and Felipe Gar cia arrived in Prescott this morning at four o'clock, from Stanton, having in custody Andreas Lopez, the Papago Indian, who, on Monday night, brnt- ally murdered Peter Nerdier, at Wal nut Grove, and then robbed his store. He IS also the man, who about two months ago held up Superintendent Billings, of the stage company, and robbed the stage between Antelope and Stanton. It was for this latter hunting him, and not until after they had captured him were they aware that they had been on the trail Of Verdier's murderer. Lopez has been living in the vicinity of Weaver for about two years, and on Thursday came in there and seemed to have plenty of money, which he spent freely. It was this that gave the clue to his capture. After he had left, Genung, who had been working on the stage robbery for some time, took Garcia and one or two other Mexicans, and yesterday (Friday) morning took his trail and followed it to an old aban- doned tunnel, and after making sure that he had no other means of egress except where he entered, they took up position near the entrance, 10 await his appearance. After waiting about an hour, or at about Il o'clock, he ap- peared at the mouth of the tunnel, crawling stealthily out with q double barreled shot gun in his hand. Re fusing to heed the warning to throw up his hands, two shots were fired at him, one of which entered his neck, causing a flesh wound, the ball rang ing downwards. While suffering from the pain of the wound and thinking he was going to die, he confessed to having killed Verdier, and said he murdered him because he refused to give him drink for ten cents.
 An examination of his hiding place revealed the fact that the tunnel had been used by hIm as an abiding place. A satchel and a few other articles, taken from the stage at the time of the robbery, were found, also a shot gun belonging to Verdier, the key of the latter's safe, and a partly filled demijohn of whisky stolen from there. He had on his person about $25 in money.
 A large number of people were ad- mitted this morning to the jail to see the prisoner, among the number being the Journai-Mlner man, who found him to be about as uninviting a speci- men of humanity as one would wish to see. He was lying on a cot in the cor ridor, groaning with pain, his face be- ing smeared with blood. The wound is not considered fatal one, though it seems to be painful.
 Lopez was in Prescott some time since, and purchased the/pistol which was found on him when arrested, at second hand store.
 Tn conversation to-day In jail with Mexican, the prisoner stated that all the money he secured at Verdier's was $la. His face and body stilI bear marks of the struggle between him and his victim. Dr. Halsey called at the jail during the forenoon and prob ed and dressed his wound, which he says, although serious, is not a fatal one. The prisoner says that his 1 parents, who are Papago Indians. live in Sopora. his fathers name being Francisco coyote.-Preseott Journal i Miner.

The irrigation question is not a myth. Irrigating ditches are being run throughout all portions of north ern California, and as little and insig- nifioant as the idea may appear, the time is near at hand when hundreds of now waste acres of land in Yavapai and other. counties of ArizoAa will blossom into fields of grain and fruit. There is no good reason why Califor- mia, Utah and other countries should irrigate with success and Arizona not. The irrigating enterprise Is growing all aver the west and yet, some ex- press doubt on the question.-Flag- staff Democrat.

Is There an Undiscovered Reptile?

Some of the natives of Arizona have a great aversion for the toad, which amphibian they know as Gel sapo." They state that its saliva is poisonous to an extreme degree, and does not have to enter an abrasion to prove ia tai, but that it penetrates the skin The writer has heard them earnestly relate incidents claimed to have come within thei r own observation regard ing the venomous qualities of the "sapo." They agree in saying that what appeared to be toad, when i'm prisoned with either tarantula, cen tipede or scorpion, would invariably H.ne Iatter by means t.f it's saliva, and without infiicting sting or bite, or sustaining any injury itself There should certainly be same grounds for sn strong 6 claim, oven though not shared by all.

 "Our highly favored people, mind ful of their dependence on the bounty of Divine Providence, should seek Il fitting occasion to testify their grati- tude and ascribe praise to him who is the author of their many blessings.

 The present lowery and moist weather suggests that small grain should be planted. The judicious farmer is supposed to have had his land plowed during August and Sep tember, having turned under the lux uriant crop of weeds which puts in an appearance about that time with the regularity of the seasons.
 Alfalfa should now be in the ground ready to germnate with the moisture which comes from the light rains of the fall months. Surface moisture is very beneficial to all small seeds that require but slight covering of earth. In fact alfalfa seems to sprout as we'll on the surface as under it, under the influence of slight rain. It quickly sends tap root down deep into the soil. Alfalfa hay is now in lively de- mand at $7. 50 per ton, baled on the ranch, and from present appearances the price will range higher before an other seasons hay crop is available. The rancheros are now putting into stack the last cutting.
 The sweet potato crop is just now being harvested. A larger crop than usual has been grown and a fair price ] is realized. AS it is crop which does not keep any length of time, the price is likely to decline. An outside mar ket must be sought for our surplus in order to make this crop profitable.
 The varieties now generally grown are not considered the best, being largely of the red and white kinds. The yellow Carolina or yellow Yam are the sweetest and best. Produce the best if you want to realize the highest prices.
 In this latitude most of the garden vegetables should be planted during the winter months. Beets, carrots, onions, peas, lettuce and cabbage es- pecially. Asparagus, one of the most delicious early vegetables, must be grown during the cool weather, or else it becomes woody and stringy and un- fit for the human stomach.
 The season has now arrived for placing irrigating canals in condition to carry the necessary water for abun- dant irrigation the coming season. Narrow places should be widened out and the ditches be made of uniform size. High points should be cut down to grade-a uniform grade to eanal is of the first importance. Where the current is retarded by lack of grade the mud OF sediment held in suspen- sion by the water is deposited, gradu- ally filling the ditch, and increasing the evil and affording holding ground {, for all kinds of weeds and grass which obstruet the flow more than anything else. With aR equal grade the force of the current will carry along all the mud through the ditches aad onto the land irrigated; enriching the soil while the ditches are kept open with out labor
