The robbery is the third occurrence
OF the kind occurring on that road
within . year.
Tho Chicago and st. Louis express,
which pulled out OF the union depot
at Kansas City at $50 p. m, was
stopped by eight masked men at
Evanston, n suburban stopping place
After securing complete possession
OF the engine and baggage and express
cars, the bandits placed twenty.sour
sticks of dynamite upon the big
through safe and then lifted the smaller
way safe upon the top of it. They APP
piled the fuse and the match, but for
some reason the explosive did not go
of.
The robbers were afraid to return to
the express car, and, after waiting
few minutes for the expected explo-
sion, they hurriedly left the place.
After some delay the trainmen sue
ceeded in lifting down the small safe
and throwing out the explosive, when
the journey toward st. Louis was re-
sumed.

mostly Of the shower-b0.h type, which
arc the cheapest md most satisfactory

-=-=---------=---~---------- WHAT IS A LOBBYIST?

The lobby is a common appendage of every legislature, without which that body would resemble .a bob-tail dog; and in the case of the legislature the adage of the tail wagging the dog is frequ, ,ntly verified. What is a lobbyist? If the question were asked of one who forms part of the afore- said flexible appendage his answer would be:
 A member of the third house; pro- moter of honest legislation. 1 am per petually in session during the constitu- tinnal life of the legislatures guardian angel of the territorial treasnry, and if yon, sir. have an axe to grind, 1 am at your service. My presence is already felt. My virtues and victories have made Phoenix sainted spot in Ari. aona. Yond,r is the church in which I daily kneel and in deep tones prefer my prison, and yours if you trust In me to pull you through. The present fnaucial condition of Arizona attests my usefulness AS public benefactor. Good day, SIT; my time IS limited. I am entrusted with the passage of the circuit court bill, and therefore canno, tarry.

THE RIGHT OF PETITION.
SoL EARTH.

What think you of Senator George F. Hoar's overwhelming seuse of the dignity of the United States senate which led him to denounce the right of the people to recount their griev- auces to that august body? Before an swering, contrast the sublime action of John Quincy Adams, the colossus of debate, fifty five years ago, when he rose iu the senate with petition of citizeus of Hayerhill, Mass, iu his hand for the dissolution of the Union constructed by the iramers of the con stitution, and asked for 1t respectful consideration which, with cold and un- feeling indifference, the senate denied. Could painter have caught the tx precision of Mir. Adams face at the time, posterity could have read iu the portrait determination to champion Ii right not only cherished in the hearts of tue people but guaranteed aud em- bodied in constitutional law. In that contest for the right of petition for eleven days MT. Adams conteuded al most alone, when opposition ceased and the petition WAS reluctantly re. ceived and donbtless found lodge ment in the waste basket with other dead matter.
 The request embodied in that peti- tion was revived in 1861, but not in that placid form as in 1S42. Soldiers nurtnred under southern suu pre- ferred the request for the dissolution of the Uuion. There was in the aspect of that marshaled host which you might have looked upon but once and worn it ir' yonr heart forever.
 The sequel to those four years of war appears as written in the treaty of surrender and approved by the con teuding generals-Grant and Lee, at Appomntt'x courthouse, April l2, 1865, and from that moment negroes, the hone of contention, were free.
 Aud yet Hoar is not satistied-not becanse of the result of the war, but because tlle dignity of the senate has been ass,,iled by the presentation of petitions Iris not of men such as he that heroes are made as was the boy of eighteen who stood up with his gun in the fight at Bull Run. And doubtless the senator was less in- terested i,l the perpetuity of the states than Cleveland, when drafted, from which there was no appeal, and rather than become lamb for the sacrifice a substitute went forth to battle, and while st"nding guard as Il picket re- ceivea fatal rent in his breast.

George Christ, of Nogales, is q can lidate for secretary of Arizona, and if fidelity to the Republican cause IS Il recommendation in the eyes of the in- coming administration, then Mir.

Mir. Christ is well qualified to fill tLe office of secretary of the territory.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1897
INFRINGEMENT DEMANDED.

The report of the committee of the legislature of which our councilman, Geo. W. F. Hunt, was chairman, upon the reform school, recommending that the law establishing that institution be repealed and the property converted to some useful purpose, will be very gen. erally approved by the people of Gila county, aud should be favorably acted upon by the legislature
 There was never the shadow of an excuse for creating such an institution, as the necessity for a house of oorrec- ton for incorrigible youths does not exist, and it is questionable if it would ever become needful.
 The Reform school owes its origin to an unholy alliance of members of the Seventeenth legislature who wanted liberal appropriations for the several public institutions in Arizona, which arc chiefly responsible for depicting the treasury and impairing the credit of the territory. It is time that the taxpayers awaken to the danger of financial ruin which confronts Arizona and demand of thei- representatives at Phoenix the reversal of the policy of prodigality which has brought the ter. ritory to it's present plight. Selfish in. terests should be iebuked and denied in the interest of the common welfare
 THE SILVER BELT has for many years stood alone in opposition to the improyident conduct of territorial affairs, and we have not only de nOunced extrayagaut appropriations tu pnblic institutions hut have secured tu Gila county exemption from unlawful taxation, and have pointed out the remedy by which other counties may escape it by refusing to make the levy. And when board of supervisors IS sn disregardful of the interests of the peo pie who entrusts 1t with the manage meut of the county business, tLen the individual taxpayer has the same redress in law and should employ it by refusing to pay the illegal tax.

Another aspirant for gubernatorial honors has shied his caster into the ring-A. F. Penrose, whose hope of kuocking the persimmou arises from the fact that his brother Was elected to the United States senate from PeDnsyl
 vania. Mr. Penrose Is one Of the for. tuDate owners of the Commonwealth mines, at Pearce, Cochise county, Arizona, which should fully satisfy his ambition. Furthermore, he IS scarcely eligible for appointment as governor of Arizona under the home rule plank in the national Republican platform, his residence in the territory having been of brief duration, aud he lacks the knowledge of affairs in Arizona to qualify him for the office. THE SILVER BELT is for Burt Dunlap fer governor, as meeting every requirement of the office and who, if appointed, would give us business administration, free from frills and political buncombe.

such jurisdiction is an inferior court. The question of whether the judge was only de facto or only de jure did not arise and was not an issue in the case; however, on page ll9 the court does say, The territorial legislature had power before the adoption of the re- vised statutes to create courts of con current jurisdiction with tue district court. and this power was not taken away by the revision From this it would appear that our district courts as provided for in the revised statutes are fixtures, and the only question left is, do we want another court with con current jurisdiction presided over by the same judge, as will inevitably fol- low if the judge of the supreme court chooses to exercise his authority as authorized by section 1874 of the or ganic act" '"
