SENIOR BOOTH.

Newton Booth resigned the guberna-
: torial chair of California on the 9th uft.
to take his seat in the United States
Senate. The Alta California has been
his most bitter enemy ever since he
struck against the Republican party on
the question of railway monopoly. His
great speech Oh that occasion took into
view the whole problem OF labor and
capital, and the grand exclamation with
which he closed his peroration, "Reform
now or revolution hereafter" still rings
in the National ear. A portion of the
party went with him, and by coalescing
with the Democracy he was elected to
the Senate in December, 1878, his term
to commence on the 4th of March, 1875.
The Alta addresses to the Senate a
letter of introduction for Mr.. Booth, in
which it says of him:
He is a gentleman in manners and hab-
Its, q scholar in his tastes and modes OF
thought and man of more than average
ability as an essayist, rhetorician and
elocutionist. You need have no fear that
he will disgrace you by rolling in gut
ters, keeping company with ruffians or
voting tor thieving bills.
This is not faint praise by any means.
1t commends him for qualities which are
the most desirable in this corrupt gen.
+, GRAFTON. He has all the necessary moral
and scholarly qualifications, and above
and better than all, he will not vote for
nthieving bills."
The Alta then proceeds to tell the
Senator that his sentiment of honor is
DOT sufficient to justify any confidence
In his pledges, and that sail laws, GUS
;omss and rules OF propriety lose their
nrce whenever they stand in the way Of

The annual meeting of the State
Grange assembled at Columbus on Tues
day. All the counties i'll the State
were represented by an average ofabout
three delegates each, making about
two hundred and thirty-four regulars,
while, including women and Gralgers
from abroad, the attendance was about
six hundred. last year but half the
counties were represented. There were
but five hundred and seventeen Oranges
at the beginning of the year against one
thousand one hundred and forty-six at
present. The membership year ago
was 1888, while now it is about $1,000
an increase of over two hundred and fifty
per cent. in one year. The order is,
therefore, in a most tlourishing condi-
ton in Ohio. 1t is a powerful body with
funds to enable State delegates to at
tend at Columbus without being op-
pressed with expenditures. This opens
the honors OF the order to the poorest as
we'll as the richest. We repeat our eX.
hortation to the farmers to swell the col
umn and keep the ball a rolling on.

his advancement" After such charge
we expected detail OF shameful mis-
conduct, but were agreeably disappoint-
ed on finding that the Alta could find
but one little fact upon which to base its
| impeachment. When Booth received the
gubernatorial nomination, he promised
to serve out his term of four years, but
has not done it. Why? Because the
party to whom the promise was made
forced him to resign.
Though elected Senator, he would not
in fact be Senator until sworn in. He
intended to hold the Governors chaE
until December, when the term would
expire; but when it became certain that
a writ of quo ,cdrrdnto would be issued
for the purpose OF ejecting him. and the
discussion of the question had convinced
him that the writ would succeed on the
ground that he would be Senator after
the 4th in sufficient sense, though not
sworn in, to render the holding of the
Governors Office unconstitutional, he
resigned an office from which the Repub-
licans would have been glad to eject him
ever since hs made his Reform or Revo-
luton speech, and crippled the party.
This being the worst that partisan
foe can say against Mr.. Booth, the people
can rest assured that he is the very man
they want at this juncture.
Ina previous article, the Alta conceded
to Elm great talent and high culture. GAS
a lecturer he has few equals" Then it
seeks to show that he could not secure q
nomination for the Presidency, because
"he is not match for Schurz," and
Schurz, a Liberal striker, has failed.
To compare him with the Missouri
Senator is high praise for home man,
because the prophet is not without honor
save in his own country. Were Schurz
Booth, and Booth Schurz, the Alta
would say of the latter that he is not a
match for Booth. That journal also says,
"Nor in political oratory is he equal to
sumner" Booth being neighbor of the
Alta, and Sumner being far enough off
"to lend enchantment to the view," has
reason to feel tlattered by such COM
parison. SO much from an enemy affords
assurance that a friend would hold him
to be equal to either Schurz or Summer
But the Alta speaks Of his great de-
feet. "He has no superior capacity as
political tactician." This is just what
we are glad TO hear OF him. The anti
monopolists should call for their man,
and capacity as a political tactician"
is not needed. Were ''political tao
tician" to get the nomination of the
working classes, nine chances to one
they would be betrayed with kiss.

THE increase ofpostage on third-class
matter, a notice of which was yesterday
received by Postmaster Wahle, seems
to have been the work OF the Express
companies. The STAR has no defense
to make for the wrong done the people
in taking from them the opportunity tor
the cheap transmission of goods that
was afforded by the law as it stood pre-
yious TO this amendment. But we can
not refrain from asking some of the old
papers that are now bowling, why it is
the duty of the Government to afford
cheap facilities for carrying merchan-
disc, and at the same time be so very
wrong for it to provide the people with
cheap communication by telegraph
The idea of the postal service was
that it should afford the means OF
cheap and rapid communication between
The people. Again, if these journalists
advocate making the postal service q
competitor of the Express companies
how can they hold the telegraph com
binations so sacred that the Government
must not in any way interfere with them
Let the Postal Department give us th'
cheapest and most rapid communication
that it possibly can, and as we wan
cheap transmission Of third-class matter
without reference to the interest Of Elk
press companies so we must hav'
postal telegraph, without regard tt
whether the present telegraph combina
'tions favor it or not.

Too MUCH talent evenly distributed,
and Too many rising young statesmen
who think they are making capital for
