In Heaven.

The latest and most refreshing Sabbath
school incident happened in class not a thousand
miles from Lewiston The teacher had grown elo-
quent in picturng to his little pupils the beauties
of Heaven, and he finally asked What kind of
little boys go to Heaven" 4 lively little four
year-old boy, with kicking boots, fourished his
fist. Well, you may answer" said the teacher

WITH this issue of The REPUBLICAN we
close the star route discussion for the
present, at least to the extent of space
which we have heretofore devoted to it.
Gbelers produce anything in the shape of
evidence. We are satisfied with the rec
ord as it stands, and shall now give the
rapidly-increasing thousands of readers of
our paper more diversified variety Of
topics.

WHY not suspend the writ of habedS

try, convict, and hootwhoever he pleases?
1t is impossible to obtain the evidence,

A writer relates that two days before
the death of James T. Fields the latter met an ac-

trip with friends, and expressed a regret that
Mr. Fields could not accompany them. How
long shall you be absent?" Mr. Fields asked
Several weeks" was the reply. Good bye"

Secretaries Blaine and Kirkwood on
the Star-Route Service.

The increase of service on the star
routes, which has been the subject of so
mach discussion during the past ten days,
was made by General Brady, Second As
siStant Postmaster-General,d during the
year 1879. To meet the extra outlay
thereby made necessary an appropriation
WAS asked for at the session commencing
December, 1879. The sensation mongers
of the Capital took hold of the matter
and charged extravaganza, profigacy,
fraud, collusion, and corruption on the
Department. The dispatches which have
appeared concerning alleged star-route
frauds during the present storm are
rather mild compared with what was
then furnished to the papers hecountry.
So fierce was the clamor that it was

If any of our statesmen fancy that the
cry of Solid South was false one anC
the alarm unnecessary; if they laugh il
their sleeves and enjoy the credulity Of
the people in having listened to them il
they attribute to an unnecessary fear and
prejudice, convenient to be raised quad
rennially, the mighty efforts made to de-
feat Bourbon restoration last autumn
then such statesmen deceive themselves
and if they anywhere have power it is to
that extent the country's misfortune
The business and capital of the country,
the owners of United States, State, and
railroad securities, the builders of rail-
roads and of factories, are better politi-
clans by instinct than most people are by
training. At any rate, if they are not
good pilots they are good as weather
signal corps. Their possessions make
them wise observers of the political
storms, and their distrust of the Solid
South as political power is not senti-
mental or sensational.
The Solid South was defeated by a
nearly solid North. Indiana and New
York stood between us and defeat. How
important that the party in each of
those States should be strengthened to
avoid future disaster, and how important
that the Solid South be broken, and never
again menace the national welfare. New
York and Indiana can only be made safe
by the absence of irritating struggles
within the party in those States. The
Solid South can be broken by ignoring
party lines and promoting the support of
bona tide rebels against Bourbon party
authority on the basis of free ballot and
a fair count.
The administration can make itself a
terror to the Bourbons Of the South by
fostering and openly espousing the cause
of anti-Bourbonism in Virginia. 1t can
urge upon every Republican who is not
intriguing with the Bourbons to refuse
all countenance to straight Republican
party movement in that State this year.
The Republicans will elect the Bourbon
candidates and Bourbon United States
Senator if they do not, with an approach
to unanimity, support General Malone
and his followers. If they care more for
Bourbon defeat than they do to lead
hopeless fight, andto get Federal offices as
a reward for their martyrdom, then they
can make that defeat certain. These
have been the views of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN at all times during its pres
entmanagement. They are too obviously
correct to require or even admit of argu-
ment. The administration is under
stood to occupy the same posi-
ton. Upon its action success largely
depends. The President will certainly find
this the road to such political revolution
in the South as will make his term
famous for having built up and restored
the Nation. To this great end all else
may well be subordinated. Even the bat
ties of factions and the fierce antagonisms
of men within the party should not be
allowed to weigh down upon the cause
which General Malone represents in
Virginia, or deprive him of any support
which Republicans can render, either
within or from without the State.

THE manager of large manu- featuring
company has lately hit upon novel
method of keeping his employees tenn
perate. He went to the landlords of the
three hotels and asked them to estimate
their profits on sales of liquor for year,
and when this was given him he paid
the sum-about $6,0O0-on the condition
that they should not apply for license.
This makes the town temperance one,
and he expects to make more than the
amount he paid out from the sobriety
and steady work of his employees.

We must again return acknowledge
ments to our brethren ofthe press for no.
titN.s of our paper and its thoroughly in
dependent course. THE REPUBLICAN ap-
pears to be universally read, and
to inspire much comment. We re-
ceive from many unmcrited praise, and
from others unmerited censure. The
former we value much, as manifesting
kindly regard, as well as concurrence with
our views; the latter we value still more,
for the censures of the writers are, in our
estimation, honorable decorations. The
great number of the notices referred to
render particular mention impossible.
We might say that perhaps the ass who
corresponds for the New York Herald is
the most successful in his line, although
his fellow who editorializes in the New
York Times brays with more sonorousness.
Both do the best they can, no doubt, and
each is entitled to his daily bottle of hay.
