The Star Route Frauds.

The exposure Of the Star Route
frauds gives the public something
more profitable to discuss than the
merits and demands of Senators Ma
hone and Conkliug. and will have,
besides, a decided influence upon the
political situation.
In 1878 the appropriation for the
Star Routes, 1925 in all, was S.. $780,
900. Between 1878 aud 1880 Assist
ant Postmaster General Brady, and
Il number OF coufederates, got up Pc
titions to have the service OH SO Of
the routes "expcdited" OF made more
frequent. In this way the cost Of
these routes was raised from $727,-
10 to 1902 PA, SO that only $3,097,-
7SG were left for the other nine thou
sand routes. This led to Il deficiency
OF $4,000, 600; an appropriation for
which was worked through Congress.
Ex-senator Dorsey, who was the Sec
rotary Of the Republican National
Committee in the last campaign. vas
deeply interested in the Star Route
business. The Nation says that among
the Star Route contractors are Dor
sey's brother, his b%rother-in-l law,
Peck, and bis former partner, Miner.
Dorsey himself very likely had inter-
ests in other contracts, but that he
had nothing to complain of as re-
CARDS the contracts awarded to these
three, the following little table shows:

SO it appears as if what may be
called Dorsey's "miIitary family" pock-
eted n cool $780, 1926 between them.
Dorsey and Brady make common
cause, in their own defence, and their
leading champion is Mr.. Gorham,
the editor Of Brady's paper, the WASH
ington Rrp"1licu", and the Rspubli-
can nominee for Clerk Of the Senate.
The tactics Of the Star Route Ring are
to insinnate that the President had q
entity knowledge of what Was going
on, and this leads the President to
take the election Of Gorham. under
such circumstances, will be a per-
sonal insult to him and a slight upon
the Administration.
The lcal;ng Republican newspa-
pers, especially tho New York Times.
are laying the frauds bare, and Lave,
of course, the hearty cooperation Of
the Democratic and Independent
press. The New York Herald says:
ave have only one side Of this mel
ancholy and depressing story, and re-
serve our criticism until we hear from
Mr.. Dorsey. We should like also to
hear from Republicans like Congress
man Page, Of California, and S. B. Ell
kins, Of New Mexico; as we'll as
Maxey of Texas, Money Of Mississippi,
BIackburne Of Kentucky, and others
of the Democratic side. These gen
tlemen, one and all, owe it to them
selves to make a prompt and full e1-
PLANTATION. II this Star Route bust
ness is as bad as the Administration
believes it to be in removing Mr..
Bruly--then the place for these
thrifty Republican and Democratic
statesmen is III some salubrious and

no mincipg matters in the presence
Of such II crime as appears to have
been perpetrated by the Star Route
Ring. Let all censure likewise fall
upon the sunctirnonious and hypo-
critical administration Of Mr.. Hayes,
who permitted such a ring"
For the Democrats, in and out Of
Congress, there is a plain, broad road
to travel. They will, we are conf
dent, support the Administration in
exposing the frauds and in pushing
the offenders, no matter who Is to be
hurt. Aud The Democratic Senators,
in any contest between the Star Route
Ring aud their allies and the Admin
istration, will 60 with the President
in whatever shape the Issue is made.
1t may become their business now,
on the highest public grounds, to
stay i'll Washington until December,
if necessary, to prevent the election
Of Gorham. They can fortify them
selves in this position, and the people
will look on with genuine satisfaction.
Really the Star Route business is q
God-send to the Democratic party.
They can make fight now in which they
will have the whole people with them

one time she would have got up to
see her dear George off; no matter
how tired she was; but now, as she
was taking the character of a Mrs.
Winsome, she thought she would play
it thoroughly; 50 she told her hus,
band she felt tired, and, therefore,
would not get up yet. Then she
added:-You know that Mrs. Win
some never gets up until about ten.
She thinks it is nonsense to see her
husband off; she says they do not ap-
preciate it, and l think she is right.
So saying, Minnie turned over, as
though &c take another nap.
Mr.. Marshall did not like This in

Just as he was going out again TO
his club after dinner, Minnie called
him back.
George, 1 want TO tell you about
something very important.
His heart WAS up in his throat. He
hoped she wanted a goodbye kiss,
and, perhaps, to lay her head upon
his breast, and ask him to call her
his loving little wife again.
Well ? said he, in a faltering voice.
I wanted to remind you to be home
early tonight; for 1 have made up

off in the best of spirits.
Then it WIS that George Marshall

was! He could have cried, as be
thought how ho had Taught her to
love pleasure and frivolity; and now
oh, what would he not give to have
his quiet little Minnie back! He was
depressed in spirits, SO sick at heart,
that he laid his head upon his hands,
and sobbed aloud:
Oh, Minnie, Minnie, forgive me-
love me, once more!
A gentle hand snoothed his hair
back, and II fond kiss was pressed up
on his brow. He raised his head
and there stood Minnie, with the old,
loving smile upon her face.
Minnie, my W darling, do you

But she drew back, and in q cold

that you had had your revenge
Cant you forget and forgive, darling,

And lie looked up so imploringly
ut her, that Minnie's heart conld
withstand it no longer, md she threw
herself in her husbands arms.
Oh, George, do yon really love

You were not silly, darling. I vas

The Careless Use of Ice.

A writer in the New York Hour says
''It is only in this country that ice en-
tiers largely into the apparent comfort
of its inhabitants, and very dangerous
comfort It is. Dyspepsia and a number
of other evils follow directly in the
train of the consumption of ice. To
the great pitchers OF iced water so
temptingly displayed on hot days may
be traced a number Of maladies, for it
is evident that no person can without
danger suddenly and violently lower
the temperature of his stomach by fill
ing it full of water at thirty-two de-
grees Fahrenheit. That valuable or
gan will certainly resent the insult, es-
pecially if followed up by repeated in
juries of the same kind. In the trop-
les. where the use Of ice has more
temptations surrounding it than in any
other part Of the world, the inhabitants
most carefully avoid it, You cannot
get Cuban to indulge in iced water.
People who have been previously adj
dicted to the foolish habit Of using ice,
will, after visiting the West Indies. for
ever eschew the dangerous practice.
A party of men who recently visited
San Domingo on business (who would
go there for any other reason? on
their first arrival mourned greatly at
the absence Of ice 'Ah 7 said they,
when the English steamer runs in
here we will go aboard and have treat
in the shape of good iced brandy and
soda. The steamer arrived in due
course. The ardent foreigners jumped
into the boat of the captain of the port,
and, barely saluting the captain, rushed
to the saloon for the coveted refresh
ment. 1t was duly absorbed, and the
whole party was rendered i'll in conse-
ouence. None of them have ever
touched ice since that time. In the
West Indies it is only the colored race
which patronize ice-to the white peo-
pie it is not only no luxury, but a dan
gerous enemy. Ice has its uses; in the
hospitals it is invaluable: for the pres
ervation of provisions, especially fish,
il is useful, although detrimental to
flavor, if allowed to touch the meats to
be preserved; but as an article of hui
man consumption it should be avoided.
There is vet an essay to be written
upon the maladies and woes produced
by the careless consumption of ice. 1T
is only with us that this takes place.
Abroad ice is simply luxury only re-
sorted to at times; even in California
the residents are wary of it. In short
ice is a very good friend in moderation,
but bitter enemy when the intimacy
is too absorbing"
