RAILROADS AND TAXES.

The HERALD has several times said HRailroads for Arizona are cheap at any price." By this expression We do not wish to be understood to mean that railroads are worth more to us than we can possibly pay. We did not encourage the passage of the act by the last legislature, which con- pels this county and the county of Yagapai to pay to any certain rail- road company large and unreason- able amount of interest and principal for limited number of miles built. The law in question was seemingly acted upon and passed without the careful consideration it demanded Had the legislature wisely made pro visions in the bill permitting the cit izens of the two counties to vote upon the measure it would have beer all right. In any of the states this sort of legislation would be unconsti sutional and illegal As matters now stand our only remedy is with Con

THE daily Tucson Citizen of last Tuesday, in commenting on "TaXpay- ers'' communication of the situation, in last Saturdays HERALD says that when the calculator goes on to esti- mate what the entire cost of the i'm movements ordered will be, he be- comes lost in the millions and disap- pears in a horrible cloud of bank ruptcy. 'sHe questions whether there is no relief from such infamous i'm positiC ms. We say there certainly is relief, and we hope the people of Maricopa will make such stand on these matters that no fool legisla- ture in the future will dare to enact such laws. Beseige the courts, con gross and everybody, and as last re- sort let yorr board of supervisors resign and refuse to elect an other. | Spend millions for defense, but pay not one cent of tribute to the scoun- drels who have fastened upon you, and whow will exhaust your very blood unless you resist The whole territory is vitally interested in your fate. We of Pima county are not in your posi- tion; but no one knows what another legislature may bring forth We eX- pect little from Yavapai; for she is apparently subjugated to fraud and villiany so openly prevalent at Pres colt. But you are strong enough tc make the fight alone, and you will
 have the moral support of this end of the territory, it least You are as sailed in your own ho~se; stand
 against the thieves, and let not ono

Notorious stage Robbers.

J. B. Hume, special detective ill the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co. on this coast, returned last night from four weeks tour in Arizona, where he had been to look after parties who have been robbing stages of late. While there he caused the arrest of two notorous stage robbers Nicanora Rodrigues and Juan Ruibal, and re- covered over $2 GOO worth of the treas urc ia ken in the Date Creek (lavapal) county, Arizona,) stage robbery, of October 9th, 1877. Nicanora, one of the robbers. is an old offender, and can boast of a long string of exploits. In 1856, with others, he captured an express train, en route from 1reka to Shasta. ticd-up the messengers, and took the entire lot of treasure which was in their custody, some S29,OOO. For this he was arrested, tried, con victed, and sent to San Quentin for q term of ten years. He is native Of Chile, and of q good family connec- ton there, and for this reason promin- ent countrymcn of his interccded with the Governor in his behalf, and he pardoiled him on condition that he leave the state He went to Chile, but returned in q few months, when he committed q crime, for which he was sent to San Quintin agaih, this time for eight years, all ot which he served less his credits. On being dis charged, Nicanora, went to Nevada, and operated at Austin, Eureka, : White Pine and Pioche. In 1875, while in jail it Piochc, awaiting trial on an indictment for stealing bullion from the fast freight wagon of W. l. Pritchard, he struck Under Sheriff Joseph Hoag over the head with an iron bar an escaped, leaving the officer for dead This is the frs
 time he has been in the clutches oi the law since, and he and his partner
 are now in jail at Prescott MT

FLOUR CONTRACTS.

The proposals, for furnishing the de partmcnt of Arizona with four for the coming fiscal year were received up 10 noon February 24th, and called fer delivery of oac~half the amount within. forty-fve days and the balance within ninety days, This is five months earlier than last year and is the cause of considerable grumbling on the part of some persons ill thls valley who were desirous of bidding, but were prevented from doing so owing to the short time allowed for delivery They claim that the flour is not needed until after July 1st, and they therefore wish to know why the government required its delivery so long before it was needed. Last years bids were received up to July 22d, nearly five months later than the present contracts, thus giving the successful bidders an opportunity to furnish flour made from the new crop. The persons who were de sirous of bidding this year state that the successful bidders were the only persons in the territory who had sufficient flour on hand, and they hint that the bids were let at this early date for their especial benefit. The flour with which they will fill their contracts is made from wheat of last years crop, and by the time it is used
 will necessarily be several months old. The posts of Mcdowell, Verde and Whipple will use under the con- tracts just awarded forty thousand pounds of flour more than last year, and as the new crop will be as large as the last one, the government should have waited for it, as the prices would have been just as low, but as it is, a comparison of the following figures will show the difference:

Another serious difficulty that pre- sents itself is that before the new crop is avai' able Arizona will have to draw On California for flour and pay 2, prize double what it now costs. And why? Because the flour needed for present consumption has been se- cured by government and locked up long before it is needed. Had these bids been delayed until the same time as Last year, the government, as well as the individual customers, would have made an enormous saving and a large amount of money retained Tn the country that will now be sent away to California.

Where a Tramp was of Use.

The following authenticated story,
which comes from Orleans county, N. Y.
is too good to be lot. A tramp came to
farmhouse, just at nigbtfall, and asked
if he might stay ali night. The farmer
declined to accommodate him, but he
begged so hard, that consent was finally
granted, and his trampship was taken
into the barn, where there was no hay,
and bed arranged OF some robes,
blankets, etc. Some time during the
night two.horse wagon backed up to
the barn, and began loading up load
Of wheat which the farmer had prepared
for market the day previous, The
thieves transferred the wheat from the
farmers wagon to their own, except one
sack, which was so heavy they could not
handle it, and which was a sack of phos-
plate, but in their hurry they did not
notice this and supposed it to be wheat.
One remarked to the other that it wasso
heavy they would be obliged to leave it,
when the tramp, who overheard, ex-
claimed, Hold on minute, boys, and
[ will come and help you, This unex-
pected and uncalled for assistance
frightened the.tbieves, and they 'ske.
daddled, leaving team, wagon, wheat,
and the whole rig, which the farmer
still holds in his possession, and for
which no claimant has yet put in an APP
pearance.

One Of the most expert forgers that
ever appeared in this country was
caught in Massachusetts, lately, convict
ed and sentenced 10 ten years impris-
onment. He had not been in prison
more than three months, when, to the
astonlslment Of the jailer, a pardon
came for him, in due form, all signed
by the governor, and properly counter
signed. There was nothing to be done
but liberate tie prisoner, and he walked
out. Bnt he had not been gone long
before the iailer discovered that the
prisoner had managed, through his
friends. to get blank pardon from the
governors Office, had filed it out him
self and cleverly forged the signature,
and had then passed it out to bis friends
again, to be mailed to the jailer in
proper shape. The clever forger had not
got far enough away to escape, and he
was arrested and sent back to prison. -
He employed a young New York lawyer,
whose name is familiar through the fame
OF his father, and told him the story.
They have no right to lock you up
again, said the lawyer, having once
liberated you, without legally proving
that the pardon is forgery. / can get
you out, but it will cost you $1,000
Go ahead, said the forger. The lawyer
went ahead, gained his case and hber-
ated the prisoner. I am going ont
West Immediately, said the forger, as
soon as he was free. MY father, who
is wealthy man, owns thirty thou
sand dollar farm in Kansas, and he has
just sent me this letter, begging me to
come home and lead an honest life, and
telling me to draw on him for 80, 900 to
pay my bills. ! am his only son, and l
have almost broken his heart; but this
life is coming to An end; l shall settle
down on my fathers farm and be an
honest man, and he showed the letter,
pathetic production from an afflicted
parent. Il shall need 81, 900 OF the
money to pay some little bills, con
tinued the forger, and here is draft l
have made on my father for the 50, 900.
If you can give me check for 81, coo l
will give you the draft, and will send
you the other $500 as soon as / get
home The lawyer read the letter care
fully, drew check forSl, 900 and hand
ed it to his client, and received the draft
for $4,000. About ten days after the
draft was deposited in bank for col
lection, it came back with the message
that the man on whom it was drawn had
been dead for eight years, and wasn't
worth cent when he was alive.

Ard then, remember, my son, you
have 30 work. Whether you handle 9
pick or a pen, a wheelbarroT OF a set Of
books, digging ditches or elitinG e pa
per, ringing an auction bell or writing
funny things. you must work. II you
will look around you, son, You will see
tha' the men who are most able 20 live
the rest Of their days without work are
the men who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid Of killing yourself with overwork
SOD. II is beyond your power to do
that. Men can not work so hard as that
on the sunny side Of thirty. They die
sometimes, but it's because they quit
work at six y. m. and don't get home
until two &. m. It's the interval that
kills, my son. The work gives you an
appetite for your meals, il lends solid.
ity to your slumber, it gives you per-
feet and grateful appreciation OF a holi-
day. There are young men who do not
work, my son; young men who make a
living by sucking the end of a cane;
whose entire mental development is in
sufficient to tell them which side of a
postage stamp to lick, young men who
can tie a necktie in eleven different
knots and never lay wrinkle in it, and
then would get into West Hill street
car to go to Chicago; who can spend
more money in day than you can earn
in month, son, and who will 60 TO the
sheriff's TO buy a postal card, and apply
at the Office of the street com missioner
for marriage license. But the world
is not proud Of them, son. 1t does not
know their names, even it simply speaks
Of them as old so-and.so's boys. No
body likes them, nobody hates them
the great busy world doesn't even know
they are there, and at the great day OF
the resurrection, il they do not appear
at the sound OF the trumpet-and they
certainly will not unless somebody tells
them what it is for and what to dol
don't think Gabriel will miss them or
notice their absence, and they will not
be sent for, or waited for, or disturbed.
Things will go on just as well without
them. So find ou! what you want to be
and to do, soD, and take off your coat
and make a dust in the world. The bu-
sier you are the less deviltry you will be
apt to get into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your
holidays, and the better satisfied will
the world be with you HatOkeye.
