collector.

The Chicago Times says: at IS ten to
one that neither Brady, Dorsey, nor anssof
thesstar reuters will berconvicted. 1t has
been painfully apparent upon many occa-
casions that America is decidedly tolerant
of official thieves" And the Times Is
pretty nearly right. The prosecution OF
the star route thieves which started up
with such loud blast of bugles, has de-
generated into the thinest piping of a
weasened penny whistle, and Dorsey, Bra
DIV ct al, all breath a great deal easier than
they did when there was an idea floating
through the land that ATcVeagh had backss
bone enough to stiffen up Garfield and club
Blaine into submission. But that idea is
about vanished, and the suspicion that there
is niger in the woodpile" has taken its
place, In the Treasury ring thefts the
niger was undoubtedly John Sherman,
but who frequented the back door Of the
star route ring is not yet fully determined.
1t may be that Dorsey is the man they are
afraid to punish, both because he knows
too much and also for the reason that 1t
would be ungrateful to prosecute the saw
or of the party. There is one thing, how
ever, becoming pretty clear-if the Repub-
lican party won't punish official thieves, Il
party will come in power who will.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-01
Garfield is probably the most consistel

Garfield is probably the most consistent
President we ever had. He appoints Rob
ertson collector of the port of New York
against the direct wishes of Mr.. Conklina
and now removes Gen. Smith from the col
lectorship of Bangor, Me, to please Sena
tor Hale.
Smith was appointed for the reason that
he was a fit man for the place and his term
has not yet expired
The Boston 44dcertiSe3' says:
THE fact is, the office is wanted for d
friend. The friend, thinking some office
was due to him, fixed his eye on the Ban
gor custom house one fine morning, and
politely asks General Smith for his resig
nation, suggesting that the alternative may
he more disagreeable. Now the collector
ship at Bangor is not of very great nation
al Importance, and probably General Smith
could survive and be comfortable without
it, But let US hope he win hold the fort.
1t is charged that Hale had to provide
the place for Davis in order to carry out g
bargain. Senator Hale is more fortunate
with the administration than the late Mr.
Conkling was.
And in regard to the same matter the
Springfield Republican says:
''The question whether Senator Hale viii
succeed in turning out Collector Smith OF
Bangor, because ''his office is wanted fol
political reasons" is a serious one for the
president to settle. Boss Hale is reported
to have answered remonstrants agains
General Smiths removal that cit viii dc
no good to talk about it; have made VI
my mind Mr.. Garfield objected to the
Oonkling dictatorship in New York; vii
he be equally sensitive TO the assumption
of power by Mr.. Biaine's young man il
Manner
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-01

Robertson says the date of his assuming
his duties as collector of New York will be
controlled by events at Albany, in Other
words he will not resign his senatorship as
long as his vote is needed to help beat
Conkling. Who knows but that this is
the result Conkling had in view when he
resigned. He could not keep Robertson
from being confirmed and so started a
deadlock at Albany to keep him there. AT
any rate if the fight goes on much longer.
Robertson will die or get hoary-headed be
fore he ever becomes more than the. nomi-
nal collector No one in New York com
plains, except the members who antagon-
lied Conkling with idea of custom house
preferments, for Robertson's delay leaves
MERIT in command and Merritt IS a good
collector.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-01
The stalwant and half-breed papers in

The stalwant and half-breed papers in
the east have another bone of contention.
The conund1alm now agitating them is
whether General Grant ought, while al
Long Branch, have called on Garfield in
any other manner than he did; or whether
Garfield ought not to have waived the GER
emory and called on him, or whether they
both ought not to have met half way; and
the question comes in as to
whether it was right for Garfield to
extend his hand first, and there
is room for discussion US to whether they
ought not to have rubbed noses instead OF
shaking hands, while full and earnest EN-
braces about the only thing that would
have satisfied some of the critics.
All of this is very important matter,
and should not be discussed hastily or I'M
advisedly, but soberly and with Judge
ment, as the fate of the nation probably
hangs on it, and it is of equal Importance
with the solution of the riddle as to sswho
struck Billy Patterson
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-01

We nominate Senator Sessions to be
the Republican candidate for president in
1884, :" shouts p ribald Democratic organ.
But that's a step too high. He might get
the V, p. place. Witness Arthur's success
in that direction. Times.
But this is free country and any man

pened that the upper and lower houses Of
the State legislature differed ii politics.
and when tile time came forelecting United
States Senator a majority OF one branch or
other would refuse to go into 5oint@con~
vention and thus the election would be in
definitely postponed.
We never heard it contended by any one
that in such case joint convention could

Malone still expects to capture the re-
publicans of Virginia. Last fall there
were but 31,527 readjusters votes cast:
where there were $4,000 republican ones.
if the 81 900 are able to absorb the $4,000
ones, it viii be one of the few instances
where the tail succeeded in wagging the

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-07-01

How would the adniissibility of a Sena-

member of which was under indictment for
bribing another to vote for the candidate
thus chosen be apt to strike an impartial
