WEDNESDAY we chronicled the death of one of the most important men of the present century. A man who though he never held an important public office had as much to do with making and un- making public mep in hls time as any other one person. lie was the contemporary and intimate friend of Lincoln and largely shaped the policy of the Republican party in its infancy. We allude to ThurioS Weed. He was born at Cairo, N. l., in l797. He served as a volunteer dur ing the war of 1872, and at the age of 2l established Q newspaper m the west ern part of New York. During the snti-Masonic excitement he was elected to the Legislature. In 1880 he com menced the publication of the Albany -c..sn ies party came into power He afterwards became part proprietor and one of the editors of the New York Times, and subsequently editor of the Commercial Advertiser. In IS6G he published letters from Europe and the West Indies. or late years he has led a retired life though his name has appeared frequently through his remeniscences of the most interesting and exciting period of American histo- ry. He was a man of great ability, and hls death reminds us that We have but lew of the men made great by the stirring events of the last half century left us.

TEE POLICY OF TEE ADMINISTRATIONS.
 Our New York dispatches of yester- day contained the intimation that the administration Is disposeed to profit by the lesson of the last election and all factions of the Republican party are to be consulted. If President Arthur pur- sues this course land does not allow himself to be urged into a course of revenge, be may yet he able to retrieve the fortunes of the party, bring about harmony and insure united action which means victory in 1884. If as this dispatch says ex-GovernOr FentOn IS to be taken into the counsels of the administration it is a wonderful conces- sion. Fenton is a representative of the Independent Republican element Tn New York that voted for Creve- land against Folger. He was outspoken in his opposition to the ad- ministration candidate. For the future harmony and success of thJ Republican party We hope that the administrators will adopt the wise policy which IS foreshadowed. When a party or an in- dividual takes the contract of punishing g those that disagree with them, they | have taken a life contract and they will accomplish nothing else, and in the end fail in their main purpose. Nh | Arthur should be a shrewd enough pol course of the administration will strengthen rather than weaken the par. | ty.

RAILROAD.
 As but little has been said of thls proposed line of railroad from winch Tucson has so much to hope, since the preliminary survey, many had concluded that the scheme was dead like many other uroiects of similar nature. We ar. glad. however, to be able to state that the scheme is still progressing, and is now in such shape that it will probably be pushed to an early compile ton.
 It will be remembered that Don Car los Velasco, the editor of the Fronterizo of this city, left about seven months ago for Mexico, it was supposed on visit Be has just returned and 1t transpires that his mission to the city of Mexico was to obtain a cOncesslon from the Mexican government for the Tucson and Gulf Of California railroad. When he reached the city of Mexico he found parties representing New York capitalists on the ground endeavor- ing to obtain a concession Tor a road on the same route. MT. yelasco succeeded in convincing Presl- dent Gonzales that this scheme was purely a speculative one, instead of be- ing for the purpose of actually building A road, and was successful in obtaining a very favorable concession for our com pany. He was delayed in his work by ssevere attack of rheumatism which con fined him to his bed for about two months and by which he IS still crip- pied.
 He succeeded, however, in obtaining IA concession from the Mexican Govern ment which will make the project very inviting one for capitalists. The con- cession exempts the road for fifty years from every species of federal, state or municipal taxation. It gives right of way little over 300 feet wide along the entire length, fixes the maximum pas senger tariff at ten cents per mile and the maximum freight rate at SlO per top for the portion of the road Tn Mexl-
 
 co, which IS I66 miles.
 With this concession, the local busi- ness which the line would have and the fact that it would form a link in Q great trans-continental thoroughfare should lead to its early completion. We are not informed as to the time when the company expects to commence opera tions, but we presume at an early day.
 Descriptions of the country through which this line runs have been published by the CITIZEN. The route Is an entir,- ly practicable one and the road would be easy of construction. For the ln- terests of Tucson the construction of this line of road would be of the great est importance, as with the water route from Port Lobos to San Francisco 1t would give us the advantage of compet- ing freights to and from the great me tropolis of the Coast.

HE Prescott papers have considera bie to say about the capital question It a clear case of guilty conscience Here m the southern part of the Terri. tory people are too busy to give the matter much attention or talk much about #. Tucson has become the leading city ir the Terri tory without tho capital and can get along without it. There is much important legislation to come before this session and it is not likely that any attempt will be made to bring in the capital question, unless Yavapai at tempts to Use her fraudnlently gotten power m other matters than the capital to the prejudice of other sections of the Territory.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.


 For the benefit of our esteemed con temporary. the Tombstone Independent, we would state that the CITIZEN is no more the champion of railroads than 1t Is of any other industry and enterprise which brings capital to the Territory and assists us in developing our latent resources. We fail to see that the | statement that eastern railroads only | charge three cents per mile for passen- ger tariff proves that ten cents per mile is excessive in Arizona. 1T that kind of logic was good, it would have a wide range of application. Back east We paid % cents per M for composition, here we pay 45 and 50. If the difference proves anything, We are paying compoS- itors excessive wages. The same thing applies to every branch of business. l We pay for single room in this city more than We paid for fine large resi- 1 dence with beautiful grounds ln the 1 east. No business man here would care to cut business to the small mar gins that eastern business men do. A majority of the old timers think the five cent piece in change an innovation, and yet back east change is made to the cent and in wholesale business to the quarter and eighth of cent.
 There Is an argument, however, if the Ar1r fF investigate, which has weight and which will be far to all concerned Let our contemporary find out the operating expenses of the road, its in- cIdental expenses for repairs, taxes | etc. make a reasonable allowance fol wear and tear of rolling stock and track allow a reasonable interest on the capital actually invested and the difference between that and the income of the road will determine whether the l present rate is excessive or not. Il those figures prove that the present rate Is excessive the Independent will find the CITIZEN favoring a reduction but it must decline to join in hue and cry that is not born of reason and IS moi founded upon a thorough understand ing of the subject. We believe that the 1 Legislature should secure the neces- sary information so that it can treat this question in all unpreiudiced and m telligent manner before 1t attempts to dc anything. Legislation under
 taken without such information Il likely to result disastrously to i'm
 portant interests in this Territory and IS to be deprecated as IS haphazaro Legislation of every kind.
