The phases Of the Planets
w

WTE are likely 10 regard the moon as the only
thing n the heavens that exhibits phases
such as the quarter the half. and the full. As
a matter II fact al planets and their satellites
exhibit separately such phases, and most ot
them can be easily seen with small power

comparatively close 70 the earth show through
the telescope Al times beautiful crescent. ~
Others % half planet fully as brilliant. consider
ing the distance as does our satellite. At
times also the planets suffer eclipse Just as the
earth. the moon. and the sun. and these eClpses
are foretoid with as great accuracy.

moon. is easy % comprehend by hOmelV anal

Governor Wilson of Kentucky calls upon the people to defend themselves against night riders. We do not like the tone of this ad- vice. 1t has kind of lawless sound which makes us think of lynching. and is sure to have bad moral effect. Unfortunately, how ever, there does not seem to be any thing else for the people to do. The civil power has not succeeded in suppressing violence. Maybe the governor is right. Night riders will cease when it shall prove injurious to the health and long evity of the riders.

The present year has been a st

The present year has been a sea son of affiiction for the people of our neighbor Republic, Meixco. The suffering by loss of life and property by flood has been griev- ous. This is further aggravated by droughts and tornadoes. and frosts have so far destroyed the corn crop that corn famine is in prospect. Late dispatches from Mexico City assert that the government is con- sidering the adyisability of sus- pending the import duty on corn as a means of relief. It is altogether probable that if the distressful sit uatioln Tn some parts of Mexico were better understood in the Unit ed States there would be larger contributions for the purposes of relief.

APACHE county has made a record surely in the peacefulness and law abiding disposition of its citizens. From an item taken from Prescott paper, reprod uced in another column, it may be seen that the recent term of court held there was in session but one day and half, in which time it des patched all the business on the calendar. There were but two cases presented to the grand jury, in one of which there was an in- dictment, but no trial because the accused was not apprehended as yet, and there were no civil or criminal cases tried. The judge made few rulings in several civil cases that had come over from former terms of court but were not ready for trial. Were the other twelve counties of Arizona like Apache the lawyers would have tc move out of the territory.

In his ruling Judge Ander- son said; "I believe the fact that certain persons were called thieves and 'swindlers' does not constitute libel in newspaper. A newspaper has certain duty to perform. As
