STAR ROUTES IN WEST VIRGINIA.
We don't know what kind Of mail
routes We have In West Virginia
whether they are properly denoninsted
"Star Routes" or sun routes, or moon
routes.
We have an idea that nanyof them
must be moon routes, or dark-lsntern
routes, or some kind Of under ground
routes, by which the mails, If they are
ever started, get lost in the fog, as they
never reach their destination.
There are numerous Complaints cometo
US from various localities in the State, oil
the total absence Of all mail facilities; the
people of these sections, who,as the best,
enjoy but very meager mail facilities,
being cut of entirely from communica'
ton with the world by this means.
One gentleman writes us from Stout's
Mills, in Gilmer county, that they have
sent or received no mails at that point
since July LIST, and they are talking
about employing some honest, poor
man to carry the mail at fifty cents per
day"
Also between Fairmont and Morgan.
town, two OF the most important towns
in the State, their mail facilities have
been reduced to three mails per week,
although always accustomed to daily
mail heretofore, as they should have.
This state of affairs ia said to be occs-
stoned by contractors "throwinE up"
their contracts, and We suppose that as
Dorsey and BRADY are not now in posi-
ton to raise" them they continue to
be dark-lantern routes.
We are not disposed to complain OF
reform in the Post Office Department, or
the most relentless prosecution OF the
thieves who have been fattening of the
government in this connection, but II
Postmaster General JAMES policy in
wolves q cutting down Of the necessary
mail facilities over routes like some in
West Virginia, which pay little to either
the contractors or the Government, but
which are just as highly appreciated and
as necessary to the weli-being OF these
sections as the most important routes
in the country, We are not with him.
We prefer Star Route policy to the
dark.lantern policy which seems to OBJ
tain in this State. 1t might not be amiss
Tor our Representatives at Washington
to look little into the policy which cuts
parts OF this State of from ali mail facil'
ties.

FORNEY draws this picture OF the
scenes now slowly enacting in Wash.
ington: CHESTER A. ARTHUR, Presi
dent OF the United States, is fulfilling
his destiny. TIE ceremony OF trying
GUIrEAU is proceeding pari pdssu with
the organization OF a CoNXLIyG Cabinet.
All the gentry who profit by the lottery
Of assassination, to use the words OF that
Fagin OF the Senate, Mr.. EDMUNDs OF
Vermont, are around the accidental
President; JONES OF Nevada, LOGAN OF
Illinois, and CAMERON OF Pennsylvania
The thames fly from the presence OF the
new power. BLAINE, WINDOW, MAC
FEAGB, retire as the others come W.
The vast army of otficeholders and Office
seekers stand ready to approve the
double sacrifice. Without these there
would be no more hope for the Repub
lean party than there would be to put
life into a corpse. In fact, without these
official myriads Mr.. ARTHUR would be
as dead as the dead GARFIELD. Such
is the sernon on the text OF the assas =
ination."
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-10-31

THE reappointment OF Postmaster
General JAMES Is due to law that does
not apply to the rest of the Cabinet,
and also to the fact that the President
desires him to conduct the Star Route
eases. The December session will OF
course witness reorganization of the
Cabinet, when New York will have to
be content with the Treasury portfolio,
and Mr.. JAMES will retire to accept a
bank Presidency in New York city.
Mr.. VANDERBILT is, it is said, the chief
proprietor Of the new bank.

Ii is an open secret with well informed
people here that, when President Ar.
thur was last in New York, he was I'M
der an impression that none OF the par
ties TO the Star Route frauds could be
convicted; but, whether this impress.
sion was owing to belief that the pros
ecution was unskillfully handled, or
that there was not sufficient proof OF the

is it material to the point, in connection
with the persistency Mr.. Arthur has
shown in insisting that Attorney Gen
eral MacVeagh shall remain in the Cab
met at all hazards until that business Is
finished up
The fact is, in the event OF the prose-
cution breaking down for lack OF proof
or any other cause las your correspond
ent has heretofore written), the Presl-
dent is apprehenslve that the enemies
of his administration would say that ii
Gen. Garfield had lived this would have
been a case in which "no guilty man"
would have escaped" The President
does not care to take any risk OF that
character the risk, that is, OF shielding
even by implication, rogues in or out oil
otilce-and hence his now all but per-
emptory demand lin the imperative
mood, it is said that the Attorney Cen
eral shall not retire until the prosecu-
ton which he helped to initiate shall be
finished. 800

THE AGRICULTURAL REPORT OF
1880.

THE AGRICULTUR AL REPORT OF
1880.
One OF the most valuable OF the Gov
ernment's publications, the Agricultural
Report, is hanging fire this year, much
to the annoyance Of a multitude OF
readers who look for it every year with
as much interest as they do their news
paper.
In the Senate on Friday a report
was made by the chairman OF the Com
mittee on Printing which disclosed the
fact that although we are near the end
OF the year 1881, the Agricultural report
for the year 1880 has not yet been fur
nished the public printer.
This information called out some
rather emphatic comments, in the course
OF which Senator DAVIS, OF West Virgin
ia, who keeps an eye out for the inter
ests OF the agriculturalists, said:
Mr.. Davis, of West VIrginia-Upon
the subject Of the report OF the Com
missioner OF Agriculture, think the
country suffers greatly by the DELAY in
furnishing the copy to the Public
Printer, and also by the Public Printer
delaying It so long. For instance, the
year 1881 is nearly closed, and the re.
port for 1850 is not yet furnished, 80
that whatever information there is in
the report OF use to the farmer will be
STALE by the time he gets his copy, and
probably OF no service to him. Generally
it is perhaps eighteen m'.nths or two
wears from the time the fiscal year COM
mences before the report for the previ-
Gus year can b. distributed to the coun-
try. | hope this discussion may C all
the attention oil both the Public Printer
and the Commissioner Of Agriculture to
the late period at which the agricultural
Export is given to the country. think
it is delayed much longer than is neces'
SSTy.

had denounced the doctors for prescrib

for using wine at the communion, Miss
EASTMAN threw a GOODNESS over the SEES

she showed that there was universal
and justi6sble instinct against prohibi.
tory laws, and that the law has no right
TO intrude on a persons individuality,
but is to protect that individuality
against such Intrusion.
