THE st. Louis Republican, dis
patches from Washington contain
some rather sensational details in re-
lation 20 the rotteI ness of the eon-
tract system of the postoffice depart
ment. Mr.. Brady, second assistant
postmaster-geneLal, is placed in
rather an unfavorable attitude
before the public. Still, these
star-rOute robberIes are nothing
new, as Congress was called upon
only year ago to settle for some of
MIR. Brady's transactions, by passing
deficiency bill for $2,000,000. But
the luck of these star-route swim
dlers in keeping out of Jail is the
marvellous part of the business:
Therefore, the country needs Brady
more than it does Russell.

Prominent Chicago physicians
give it as their opinion that the dis
ease known as winter cholera, is
traceable to the extensive use OF
"butterIne," in the composition OF
which hog products largely enter
They say that the process of making
the compound does not require the
high temperature necessary in refin-
ing lard, and that the germ of the
disease might pass through the pro-
cess without being killed. The dis
ease referred to has prevailed to an
alarming extent in Chicago and 9TH
er cities during the winter.

EDWARD ATKINsoN'S statements
as to the "Solid South" are having a
wide run in the press. Like a great
many such representations, there
is found some truth as basis
upon which to build up grand
structure of falsehood, applicable to
a whole population. Here is a
sample of this mans manner Of
representing people, as ''solid" in
every base theory and practice, that
could be applied to individuals or
communities:
Geographically, it included all
the states south of the parallel of
SO degrees and 80 seconds, or what
is known as Mason and DiXon's
line, and east of the Rocky Noun
tains, together with the State of
Missouri. Industrially, it included
cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco, pro-
duced by methods of agriculture
which were, with very limited but
conspicuous exceptions, examples of
all that was wasteful and IMPROVE
dent; and it included manufactur-
ing and mechanic arts developed
only in mostlimited degree. Men-
tally, it expressed habit of intol-
erance in thought promoting viO-
lence in action, the latter lea ling
to the frequent crime of homicide
and the folly of the duel. 1t mis-
took for what ia called chiyalry that
brute courage which has no respect
for human life. and it substituted q
jealousy of the independent thought
and action of other men for a senti-
ment of honor, of the true nature of
which sentiment it had no concep-
ton. Morally, it descended to
depth of baseness which to-day IS
hard to be conceived. 1t per-
mitted the chasing OF men
with bloodhounds, the fogging
of naked women before the
eyes of men and boys, the breeding
of human livestock, and the sale
even of the very children of those
who engaged in the nefarious traffic.
Politically, the term "Solid South"
included only the Bourbon idea of
the section which it covered geo.
graphically. This Bourbon idea
was that all men are not born free,
but are born unequal in their
rights, and that it was the function
of the privileged few to govern the
capable many. 1t included those,
men who, though residingin North
ern states, were foreign to them,
and who, as "doughfaces" and "cop-
perheads." did the dirty work of
their Southern masters; the same
class who, of late years, by taking
advantage of the popular meaning
of the word Democrat" and per-
verting it to base purposes, have
misled the masses of the ignorant
and unthinking voters, to the great
danger of the country and to the
misgov.rnment of the great cities
which they infest.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, September 23.--1'hc
GaIelte'S Arkadclphia special says. The
train on the Iron Mountain and Southern
railroad which left Tcxarkana at s o'clock
last night .wss boarded at Hope by three
men. After passing Prescott, and when
near Kensett, they suddenly drew their re-
volvers and ordered the conductor to stop
the train, which he did. They then pro-
ceeded to make the passengers throw up
their hands and went through them, get
ting $500 They then visited the express
car, opened the messengers safc and took
$4,000 in currency. Before leaving the
train they threw u package containing $751;
600 back, under the impression that II was
valuCless.
A second dispatch says It was eight miles
south Of Prescott TINT the three men pre-
scnted cooked revolvGrs at the conductor
and babe him stop the train, which lle did
as quick az possible = He was In such q
hurry to stop the train that he pulled the
bell cord in two.

sAfe, from which they took about $4,000,
which was about half the money there was
In It Then they wentthrougi the coaches
and robbed the passengers Of $500 All
three inen were very young. None OF them
were masked or had any boards.
ST. Louis, September pa Post. Dtpdtch
special from Newport, Ark, says A pas.
senger train on the Iron Mountain road
was robbed last evening by five masked
men, who halted and boarded the train,
forced the express messenger to open the
safe and then proceeded 10 rob the pas
sengers Eighteen thousand dollars was
obtained from tho safe II Is claimed that
forty OF fifty thousand dollars will not fall
short Of the total loss. A cotton dealer
named j. =. Atkinson lost $500. The
robbers are said to be mere boys, and II Is
believed they will be captured shortly.
Gov. Churchill will doubtless offer a re.
ward Of $4,000 and the railway company
