McVEAaB 10 investigate their workings.
The Star Routere, alarmed at the show

Assistant Attorney General PHILLIPS to
announce that GIBSON had no authority

at PHILLIPS in mastery manner, and
published bis appointment by the Atior-
ney General. Really, The people don't
care q ig what GIBsoN's authority was

the thieving of the Star Reuters are
what they want; they are not particular
from what source, or what authority the
facts come. 1t is serious question
whether the Republican leaders will press
their thieves to conviction, and compel
them to disgorge their Ill gotten gains.
These men used thousands OF their
stolen dollars to carry Indiana, Ohio
and New York in 1880, and theg did il

TIL q Star Route Cases.

Acting Attorney General Phillips has
made a very grave blunder. and one
which, unless disavowed, will bring dis
credit upon the administration. He has
allo well himself to be used by the star
route people in an eff>rt to break down
the effect of the report Of Mr.. Gibson
When this report was published it prov
ed to the country conclusively that, un.
less his evidence could be overthrown,
there had existed since the beginning
of the Hayes administration scheme
of plunder and corruption almost with
out parallel in the history Of the gov
ernment. Instead Of sustaining Mr.
Gibson the Department of Justice goes
before the country with carefully pre-.
pared attempt to throw discredit upon
him, intimating that he acted without
authority Other publications threw
out the suggestion that his report was a
forgery. If anything is clear in this
correspondence it is that Mr.. Gibson
did act with authority, because he pre-
sents from Mr. MacVeagb, the present
Attorney General, a document ee-fer.
ring upon him the right to do what be
| has done
There may be question Of Official
etiquette as 10 the publication of this
report, but this can be easily forgiven
when we remember that nothing is SO
important to the interests of justice as
publicity. II Mr.. Key had not pigeon
holed Tvner's report, made two years
ago, there would be no necessity for q
star route prosecution now. The Act.
ing Attorney General, Mr.. Phillips
places the administration before the
public in the attitude of quarrelling up
on an untenable point with an agent OF
the government who has rendered high
public service This is to be regretted
as it will throw suspicion upon the sin
cerity of the administration in prosecu.
ting the star route thieves.
In view of the present temper of the
public mind toward the star route peo'
pie and the fear that high political in
fuences will save them from the JUS
punishment Of their crimes this is to be
regretted. We trust President Arthur
will interpose firmly and intimate to Mr.
Phillips that, unless he can use his de-
partment for some higher purpose than
bringing discredt upon officers who are
endeavoring to unearth great public
wrong and punish its perpetrators, the
sooner he retires from the Department,
of Justice the better. Unless the Pres.
ident puts his hand 10 the wheel in this
matter justice will fail We are almos
afraid to believe it. but it seems to be
true, thst upon the President alone rests
the countrY's hope that the star route
matters will be prosecuted.
