The selection by the Republicans
in the House of Representatives, Of
Hon. Joseph Warren Keifer, o.
Ohio, as Speaker, is a triumph Of
the protective principle; and indi-
Gates to US that the Republican ma.
jority in the House can be depended
upon to promote the business inter.
est of the country, and this will en-
sure to the laboring men, steady EN-.
ployment at good wages. 1t is most
emphatically their victory, and we
rejoice that it is so.
The Owosso times., 1881-12-09
The Star Route Frauds.

There seems to be reasonable
ground for the opinion that the Star
Route cases will now be presented
to the courts in regular form, by in
dictment. AT least, the Grand Jury
have found two true bills, and it is
announced that others are to follow.
We are glad this is SO, and we hope
there will, in the future, be more
prompt action and less talking about
things to be done and less coming
out, on the part of the government,
at the little end of the horn.
The charge that the public funds
are improperly used by government
officers is a serious one, doubly so,
when their fraudulent use is charged,
as in these Star Route cases. Ifcharges
are improperly made and acted upon
by the authorities in the absence of
sufficient evidence to justify indict-
ment, the injury to individual charac-
ter is beyond calculation, while the
party in power is subjected to very
unjust criticisms. That this is the
case in these causes we do not know |;
but we fear the truth is that Members
of Congress, representing alike each
of the political parties, are the really
responsible parties in securing the
increase of contractors pay and the
expediting business, now complained
of, in too many cases. Our Repre-
sentatives like to do the will of their
constituents and are often ready to
earn their favor by securing the ap.
preparation of money to be used in
their districts, for purposes that can
not always be commended, and this
may prove to be the cause of the ac-
ton, the postal authorities,in these
very cases. We do not know that
such is the case, and hope it is not /;
but we do know that action is some
times taken by the authorities, on
the recommendation of Representa-
tives and Senators, that cannot be
secured in any other way, and 70: it,
they, the Congressman, ought to be
held responsible, as well as the
officers of the Department who,
through their persistent requests,
have been led into doing unlawful
acts.
The position of Attorney General
pending these land similar other cases,
is an exceedingly unpleasant one.
But we hope he will be firm and I'M
falterins, that the country may learn
what the facts are, let them hit where
they may. That every man guilty of
the fraudulent use of the public
funds may be promptly convicted
and punished, and the innocent as
promptly indicated. This result
will have healthy effect. There are,
there have been, and in the nature of
the case there always will be, oppor-
tunities to steal from the government,
by various devices and in diverse
ways, but it is our duty to make such
stealing extremely dangerous and
when thief is detected to make his
arrest, trial and conviction as certain
as any event in the future can be.

The farce at Washington, called
Guiteau's trial goes on. Three
weeks of it have sickened the coun-
try. Guiteau, if insane, should be
sent to a lunatic asylum-if a fool,
cared for as idiots are-if simply a
devil, then he should be compelled
to behave in court, that the dignity
and character of our judicial pro-
ceedings may be maintained. AS it
is now, the court at Washington is
giving us, as a people, name that is
not enviable, and that is rapidly tend
ing to bring the criminal jurispru-
dence of the United States into con-
tempt.
There is trouble ahead, growing
out of the inequality Of the salaries
paid by the government, especially in
the postal service the auxiliary corps
of letter carriers are petitioning Con-
gress for an increase of pay-the
postal clerks are doing the same-so
are officials in other departments of
the postal service. This class of let
ter carriers are only paid $500 year
and they are required to be uni
formed-and are not paid enough
the postal clerks get from 5000 to
SIaoo a year and seem to be pretty
we'll paid. Other officials get from
$500 to $500 and are about half paid.
All these classes are simply subordi-
nate officers, their superiors are paid,
in many cases, exorbitant salaries,
which ought to be reduced, whethes
the others are increased or not. The
fact is the salaries in all departments
of the public service are very un.
equal, and almost without exception
at an inverse ratio to the amount OF
work performed. Equalization o.
salaries is reform that is urgentl,
demanded, and will be pressed to q
successful termination. In import
ance it far exceeds any question Of
official tenure, or the manner o.
making appointments in the civil ser.
vice, concerning which so much is
said just now by certain class of,
so-called, independent journals.

A FEW THOUGHTS ABOUT THE
FAIR.
No g

The importance of our annual county fair
is so generally admitted, and its value as
promoter of Improvement so well understood,
that it seems to be useless to further argue
the question. At our annual fair the choicest
productions of our farms, workshops and
factories are brought together for comparison
and criticism. One would naturally suppose
that our annual fair would be attended by
everybody; that old men and young men,
matrons and maiiens, boys and girls, would
all go to the fair.
Can anything more delight our eyes, cheer
our hearts and inspire US to wiser, nobler
effort than to view the gracious fruits of our
fertile acres, the best of our focks and herds,
the most beautiful specimens of the strong
and swift footed servant of man, the noble
horse, and the multiplied articles of domes-
tic industry and mechanical skill which are
brought together at our annual fair? Two
or three days wisely spent at our county
fair, in examination and study of the choice
products and articles exhibited there, will do
more TO educate us in our business. and make
our labor more fruitful of good things, than
months spent in the study of books.
Yet, notwithstanding, there confronis us
this regretful fact that but a small part of the
people of Kenosha county attend the annual
county fair and exhibition. To enquire into
the excuses for this non-attendance is a deli
cate matter, and am led to cry out: o, that
| had the pen of ready writer and that the
ink of wisdom might be placed on my desk,
so that could write wise words to remove
all these excuses and open up great high
way to the fair, take away all the stumbling.
blocks, make the crooked paths straight, and
| the rough places smooth, 80 that all the PEG.
pie, both young and old, might go up yearly
to the feast of good things at the fair.
