STAR SERVICE.
The Rtngsters Attacking the Post
mester General.

A Washington special to the ST. Louis
Republican says: Brady's organ, the
National Republican, is playing a great
variety of tunes. 1t had for some days
accused the President, and not Postmas-
ter General james, of being directly
responsible for Brady's removal, but this
morning the organ makes a column
attack on James, accusing him of du-
plicity and falsehood, and charging him
with having written letter to the
President urging Brady's prompt
displacement. 1t is noteworthy that the
star route ringsters are thus letting up
on the President and turning their hot
test fire on James. 1t is also noteworthy
that some of those who have been most
active and efficient in exposing the swim
dies are in private expressing more con-
fidence in the Presidents alleged resolu-
tion to hunt all the rascals down than in
James firmness and persistence in pur-
suing them. Doubt is expressed as to
whether the Postmaster General will
prove to be big enough man for the
emergency, man of sufficient courage
and penetration to hold his own in an
aggressive fight against one of the most
powerful combination of plunderers ever
fastened upon the government; but
James should be given the benefit of the
doubt, and despite the distrust felt here
by some of those most earnestly engaged
in exposing the swindles, 1t is but fair to
say that the Postmaster General has thus
far done vigorous and effective work.
The fact that all of Brady's batteries are
turned upon him speaks well for Mr..
James"

THE WRONG FooT FOREMOST. "A CO.
lossal granite statue of soldier stand
ing at parade rest" was left in Fair
mount Park, Philadelphia, at the close
of the centennial exposition which no.
body seems to own. The persons who
placed it on exhibition put in no claim
for their property when the show was
over, nor did they present it to the Park
Commissioners or the Permanent Exhi-
bition Company. The Philadelphia
Press explains why this gigantic work of
art was left derelict, with no one to
claim it or give it away. The big gran
ite soldier is resting on his left foot, with
his right foot thrown forward. The
military position of 'parade rest" is
precisely the reverse of this; the weight
of the body is thrown on the right leg,
with the left thrown slightly forward
The sculptor was most probably so NOR
titled at his mistake, when it was point
ed out to him, that he never cared to
have his name mentioned in connection
with the statue.
