"Oh for a good active liar Of two
and twenty or thercabouts."
We were heniously unprovided at
the Press Association. Eli Perkins
may lie faster and more artistically
than some Of the editors VIC mot, but
for of hand lying Oh occasion they
would crowd him. The first good
healthy liar We met was ono "who
did not care 10 make anything out Of
his paper-just lot it run itself Us he
had other business. He had over
1,700 subscribers several years ago
and tho inference was many more
now. He runs o twenty four column
weekly. We wanted TO give him tho
cake at once, but deferred TO the
superior Judgment and experience Of
Bridges, until we could hear some
others.
Tho next ono we overheard. He
had been running q weekly only five

Tho next one had not been running
very long and in a county where there
was a paper established when he com
menced. He, but for some trouble
about not getting his Office completed
would have had thousand subscrib-
ers. In less than two hours after
wards he tried to borrow a dollar and
a half from us. We agreed that he
took the cake and large part OF the

POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

New developments as to the mag
nitudo OF the Star route swindles are
rapidly giving it the proportions OF
the infamous Whiskey Ring Of Grants
second term. It is but recently the
administration of Hayes was held up
US q model by Republican partisans.
Yet this Star Contract Ring lived and
moved and had its being right under
lis eye, and it is quite impossible
that he could notha boon cognizant
Of its operations. Its moving spirit
was one Brady, q trading politician OF
Indiana, pet of Grant and Morton.
He was assistant postmaster general
under Key, the latter being his tool,
and Dorsey one of his boldest CO.
workers. The plan was to get up or
forge petitions for IN increase of mail
service all over the country, raising
the appropriations tc ton or one hun
drod times their former status. These
they would by their own peculiar
methods manipulate through Con
gress, the various parties to these
frauds on the people dividing the
spoils.
II is stated that Postmaster Gen.
eral James has already saved $780,
200 to the country in the looping off
of useless star routes. All honor to
him! We trust that Garfield will
continue to sustain him, and not go
back on him as Grant did on Briscoe
in the Whiskey Ring Investigations.
If no were Of the base stamp of Grant,
there would DO q great temptation not
to continue the present investigation,
for il is q well known fact that Dor
sey, tho great star-route thief, carried
Indiana for Garfield by the profuse
expenditure Of money most likely do
rived from these swindlers on the
public treasury. After the election he
received full credit with that result
and was honored with a banquet as a
testimonial TO his services. Grant
presided at that dinner, and among
the guests were Hamilton Fish, ex
secretary Of state under Grant; Ches-
ter A. Arthur, Vice President elect
Henry Ward Beecher, and other dis
Republicans Grant, Ar
thur and Bcecher eulegized Dorsey
and his methods, and the entire
crowd made merry over his frAudu-
lent operations, which as well rs his
star route transactions ought 10 con
sign him to the pcnitentiary.
We rejoice, that 50 far as has yet
the administration is bet
