irrepressible Young America with his fire.

Fourth of July is ten days off, and yet the
voice of the fire-cracker is heard in the land.
This is not right. Young America is wei.

OUR ANSWER.

There are but few so ignorant as not to
know that mail routes are established, in
creased in service, and expedited upon Pc
| titions endorsed by members OF congress
where the service is to be performed. Mr..
Maginnis' mo, SIR was absolute against any
thing that Brady could do. Ifthere is a pre-
sumption that Brady shared in all the thiev-
ing contracts in Montana, what must be the
presumption in regard TO Mr.. Maginnis? Did
he deliberately put bis endorsement on for
pure fun? win the MINER answer?-Inter
Mountain, June 2Sth.
1t is not supposed that Mr.. Maginnis en-
dorsed any petition from his constituents "for
fun" Whenever he did endorse them he did
it to accommodate the people whom he rep
resented at Washington. 1t the people OF
any given section desired mail facilities they
petitioned to the second assistant postmaster
general for them. These petitions were some
times sent directly to that officer aud some
times to Mr.. Maginnis with a request that he
present them to the proper officer. This he
was bound to do if there was no evidence of
fraud upon their face. A delegate is
not supposed to hold his consti,-
uents in leading strings or to sit
as a court to determine whether they shall
have a postofice in this or in-that place. He
assumes they know more about their own
wants than he does. and if he is a true rep
resentative he accedes to their requests. Upon
presenting the petitions at the department
his duty ceases. The granting of or rejecting
them lies the officer above named. The
awarding OF contracts to carry the mails over
the routes established also belongs to that Of
ficer. 1t is in the letting of these contracts
that the swindling has been perpetrated and
not in the establishing of the post routes. Mr..
Brady did not need the assistance of Mr.. Ma
ginnis to make contracts with mail carriers
and consequently he could not com in as a
sharer of the plumber, and it is a very far
fetched and uncharitable presumption that he
did so share without a particle of evidence
being adduced in support Of it. 1t has been
left to the Inter Mountain to pipe its penny
whistle to direct attention towards Major Ma
ginnis, and though it confesses it has no cvi-
dence of his completely in any star route
frauds, it still sounds its little horn to the
disgust of every fair-minded man.
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-07-05

1t must be a self-evident proposition to the
dullest comprehension that Brady could nev-
er have expedited a single mail route in Mon
tana if Delegate Maginnis had said "No sir"
Inter Mountain, June 2sth.
Are we to understand from the above
that Major Maginnis had charge of the
mail routes in this Territory? Was
Brady a man of dough i'll the hands
of our delegate. Did Mr.. Maginnis
discharge the duties of second assistant post
master general ? If not what difference would
Mr.. Maginnis' eyes Sir" OF "No Sir" make
in the disposition of the routes in Montana.
The readers of the Inter Mountain will notice
that lille that journal is replete with insinu-
atoms and intimatioas of Major Maginnis'
completely in the star route frauds, it has not,
neither does it dare to charge that
gentleman with a .dishonorable action
in connection with them. If it
has any evidence to prove that our dele
gate has kno wingly acted dishonesty in ad-
vocating the expedlting of star routes in
Montana, why don't it say SO, and openly and
boldly charge him with being a swindler ?
There would be a flavor of manliness and a
smack of courage in doing this. But to IN
sinuate that q man has dom a ~dishonorable
act without being able TO prove be has COM
mitted one, is the most contemplate phase
of cowardice.
We understand a proposal has been made
to amend the penal code of California regard
ing the disposition of prisoners sentenced to
life imprisonments. The plan is to have life
sentences cummuted upon the life insurance
tables, and permitting the discharge of pris'
oner after the term he was likely to live
when sentence has expired. 1t was thought
this plan would make prisoners more tracta
BILE aud manageable as there would be a hop'
Of future liberty held out to them. Unde
the present system of life sentences, it is said
prisoners are exceedingly difficult to manage
for the reason that no matter how well con
Quoted or industrious they can expect n
clemepcy.
