THE STAR ROUTE ROBBERS.
Further Particulars About the Great
Frauds Committed.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The exposure
of the Star Route gang OF thieves has
brought some OF the prominent beneh-
ciaries to this city, in the persons OF the
favored contractors, and they are hold
ing confidential caucuses and confer
ences in out of the way places. Brady,
however, remains in New York, while
his newspaper organ here says the
charges against him are stale and there
is nothing in them. 1t all depends with
the President whether the full length
will be given to 'hunt the rascals
down" II he backs James up there
will be uncovered distinguished list OF
rascals and some OF them will come
from the halls of national legislation.
The "Ring." however, is powerful, and
has in il those who know how to strike
back. They can damage leading states
men. and il the Ring must fall or its
members be punished, they don't in
tend 10 fold their arms and take all the
odium, but will uncover the powerful
gang behind them. II may be, hard to
trace any of the ill-gotten 'scads direct
10 the Congressional pocket. Instead
of receiving their pay direct, such states
men as were bribed were given contracts,
and this they sold to the Star route con-
tractors, using dummy as their inter
mediary.
Not content with gobbling all the
profitable routes, the Ring had show
known as "The Cooperative Mail and
Passenger Transportation Company.
This company was organized July l.,
1877, and its principa object seems 10
he 10 take from the smaller contractors
OF the Star Routes, whose lines are not
valuable except to furnish sufficient
bribe money, portion OF their earnings
in the shape Of commissions for collect
iny the sums due them from the Govern
ernment on their contracts. The COM
pany adyertises a list Of 702 postal
routes over which they claim TO carry
the mails and passengers. On some ot
these routes they are the real contraC-
tors with the Government, but by lar
the greater number are run by small
contractors, who engage the Company
As a broker to settle their claims with
the Government under the contracts
awarded TO them by Brady. How much
the gang realize from this ingenious
scheme or brokerage will probably never
be known to the public. This company
has had as many as fifteen hundred
routes on its list at one time, and Its
commissions have amounted to fol-
tunes.
But this Is not all the business in
which the Cooperative Company has
engaged. II issues circulars to postmas-
ters and excontractors sll over the
country, calling for information as to
the various postal routes, and this ipfor-
nation is used as basis upon which to
make its bids 20 ruin small contractors.
Toe railroad messenger routes are the
short routes from railroad stations to
the local postoffiees, extending over
distance of few miles. When the com
pany found by means OF its information
that there was competition for q route
Of this kind, they generally managed TO
secure the contract from Brady at the
highest figure, and then sub-let it at the
lowest price, pocketing the difference.

on that side without an ugly dispute

Ang0um0is Grain MOth-A Serious
Warming to Our Farmers.
The following letter relates to a SUBJ

The following letter relates to SUBJ

We regret that the writer of the
above omitted his Post office address
in his note, because it is quite impor-
tant that our readers should know from
what part of the country noxious insects
are. received, that they may be on the
lookout for the same species.
The small, silky moths, of which our
correspondent sends us specimens, are
the parents of the worms found in his
wheat; and, furthermore, they are
among the most destructive insects
known. being no other than the noted
Angoumois grain-moth (Geiechia GER
caleiia), SO named because first dis
covered in the Province of AngOumois,
France, about $50 years ago.
This insect has already caused the
destruction of thousands of bushels of
corn, wheat and other kinds of grain in
this country, and from present appear
ances it will soon make the keeping of
grain over winter a very difficult mat
ter in the United States, because the
moths deposit their eggs on the grain
in the fall soon after it is harvested,
and the worms work on it all through
the cold weather, as we'll as in summer,
when stored in bins or granaries. If
the Government or the farmers of this
country could arrest the progress of
this insect by expanding s., coo, 900 at
this time, it would be the best invest
do hryn
We have been watching the progress
OF this pest for the past ten years, and
find that it has become pretty well dis
tributed over nearly al the grain grow
ing regions in both the Northern and
Southern States. AS early as 1882 this
same 8rain-mOth was SO destructive in
some parts of France as to nearly cause a
famine among the people, and it would
not be at all strange if the same thing
should soon occur in this country, us no
effort is being made to check the raw
ages of this and several other imported
grain destroying insects.
Remove all your grain and have it
ground up or otherwise disposed of;
then thoroughly fumigate your granary
with sulphur, or sprinkle with carbolic
acid diluted with water Do not put
any grain in the bins this season, but
store it elsewhere, because every moth
must either be destroyed by poisons or
starved out before the Same building
will be safe depository for any kind
of grain again.
Furthermore, your neigbbors must do
the same, or the moths will come from
their barns to yours. Until rigorous
measures are adopted, the spread and
ravages of such pests cannot be pre-
vented. Laws must be enacted by the
General Government for their suppress
sion, and then enforced to the very let
ter, AS soon as European countries
find that we are sending them infested
grain, they will want no more of it at
any price; and by that time our farmers
will learn what it costs to harbor their
euemies.-M. Y. Sun.

Quaint Sayings Of the Pacific Coast.

The great West has become noted for
quaint and expressive phrases coined
by the rough element of the coast
The miner and prOspector, as he wan
dered through the hills and followed
the circuitous valleys and narrow
passes, preIixed names to these places
such as "gulches." and "canyons,"
until almost every canyon and gulch
has been dubbed with some odd name
which forever afterward will designate
the locality.
The mountaineer, after years of
Western life, finds himself lost in an
Eastern metropolis and fails to meet
his engagement on prompt time, but is
not at loss to give Il decided reason
for his delay, because of " getting lost
among the canyons" Terse and point
ed remarks like that of the man who
said: II did not fight him, but had he
come step further the doctors would
have thought, when they dissected Linn,
that they had struck a new lead mine"
are quite common among miners.
How expressive are the sayings: s.He
is a gashed vein, and has pinched."
"IIe shows well on the surface, but
there is nothing in his lower levels" or,
a. He didn't assay worth anything" He
who lacks courage is in Western par
lance devoid of grit and has no
sand" Men who reughed it in the
early days on the Pacific coast are called
''old-timers, and when they die it is
not uncommon for their associates to
speak of their takins,off as their having
''passcd in their checks"
Those who have toiled through the
SHOWS and bravcd the dangers of cross
ing great mountain ridges, have coinSd
n style of expression upon the death OK

of meaning than the plainsman can re-
