The country will await with great
anxiety to see what will be done with
the Star Route robbers. The present
attitude of President Arthur resem-
bles somewhat that of General Grant
in the whiskey fraud cases. With a
great show Of holding up the hands
of the counsel for the Government, he
ostentatiously telegraphed Bluford
Wilson at st. Louis to let no guilty
man escape" and then deliberately
threw every obstacle in the way of -
prosecution and at last forced the resS
ignation Of Secretary Bristow from
the Cabinet because he was conduct.
ing the prosecution too vigorously.
President Arthur was the warm friend
of Dorsey aud Brady and it seems
unlikely that he will push them to
the wall.

the need of taking from some other sec

they produce. AS civilization has ad-

grown to De necessities. and goods we once
knew not of, have grown to be very part
of our existence. This trading of commo
dities has grown to be the business OF our
people. When We produce we look to the
wants of people far from US. Whatever
we consume we bring from the place
which can furnish it to as at the lowest
terms. From this has grown up our sys-

is the greatest industry in our
county. The question of dollars and cents
governs and controls all business, and
che relative cost of transportation, is the
consideration that makes the difference,
between localities. A difference in the

difference between success and failure 10

tells US that because the water works

1t is well known that q great many we're
