Lost, a Boy.

He went from the old home hearthstone
Only two years ago,
A laughing, frolickiLg fellow,
1t would do you good to know;
Since then we have not seen him,
And we say, with nameless pain,
The boy that We knew and loved so
We shall never see again.
One bearing the name we gave him
Comes home to us to-day,
But this is not the dear fellow
We kissed and sent away.
Tall as the man he calls his father,
With mans look in his face,
Is he who takes by the hearthstone
The lost boys olden place.
We miss the laugh that made music
Wherever the lost boy went.
This man has a smile most winsome,
His eyes have grave intent;
We know he is thinking and planning
His way in the world of men,
And we cannst help but love him,
And we long for our boy again.
We are proud of this manly fellow
Who comes>to take his place,
With hints of the vanished boyhood.
In his earnest, thoughtful face;
And yet comes back the longing
The boy we henceforth must miss,
Whom we sent away from the hearth
stone
Forever with kiss.

hackers of the mall contractors are the
names of men who probably did not
know how their endorsement was being
used to give an appearance of reputa-
bility TO fraud. But when we find the
connection tolerably complete between
the contractor and the Congressman, we
have sufficient explanation of the sue
cess of Brady in protecting in Congress
the interests of the star route contrac-
tors.
No other branch of the Government
has been managed as this has been. As
We have already seen, the Second Assist
ant Postmaster General was allowed to
make arbitrary awards of compensation
for star route service, which, in the total
aggregate, amounted to S6,275,2 ,2s5. This
large sum of money was to be disbursed
at the pleasure of one man, on whose
Official action there was no effective
check. Given lump sum for the main
tsnance of these routes, Brady man
aged to consume on ninety-three routes
about as much money as there was then
left for the other 9,132 routes. That the
possession of powers which made this
possible was contrary to all business
| principles in Governmental affairs is OBJ
yIons. Nevertheless, many Congress
men refused to see that confiding of
such powers TO one man was dangerous.
! 1t is tolerably apparent why some of the
easy going good fellows" who figure in
Congressional affairs were quite willing
to trust Brady with the authority to
expedite" contract time on star routes
and to increase the routes and to in
crease the rate of pay at his own sweet
WILL
But if it is possible that the alleged
increase of service and the known in
crease of compensation were demanded
by the people of the region served by
the mail carriers, the character of many
of the men who have been concerned in
these operations should settle all doubt
full questions. When we come to anal
we the personnel of the great firms en-
gagged i'll the star route business, we find
the names of many men of the most un-
saYory reputation. The well-informed
reader will recognize in the partners in
this enormous swindle not few persons
whose general repute is ample guaran-
tee that there is something rotten in
any business which engages their activ-
ity. And, as if to make sure of catch
ing all the crumbs of patronage which
might be scattered by Brady's prodigal
management, there was organized a
branch scheme under the high-sounding
title of "The Cooperative Mail and Pas
senger Transportation Company" con-
cern which sucked into its NAV the lit
tie contractors who escaped the cupidi-
ty of'the greater conspirators. This gives
one the impression that the system was
permanently fixed in the Post Office De-
partment 1t was meant to last. But
the back of the conspiracy has been bro
ken. The penitentiary awaits the con-
spirators..

A Pacific Railroad Below the Snow
Line.

A Pacific Railroad Below the Snow
Line.
In the last number of his Progress
Mr. Forney gives graphic account OF
the fulfilment of remarkable prophecy
made by Mr.. Thomas A. Scott nine years
ago concerning the Texas and Pacific
Railroad. On the 18th of June nine
years ago Mr.. Scott took with him a
company of gentlemen to visit the line
of the road, of which he had recently as
sumed the management. The enterprise
was in languishing condition and the
road itself was nearly bankrupt. 1t was
originally surveyed under Jeffersod Da-
Wis when he was President Pierce's Sec
rttary of War. Gen. John C. Fremont
was afterwards placed in charge, and he
was surrounded by Marshall o. Roberts,
who was followed by Mr.. Scott. That
gentleman when he took charge of the
enterprise was in the full strength of his
vigorous life, and was determined to
succeed in developing the resources of
the great Southwest and in building d
road to the Pacific below the snow-line.
His prophecies of the future of the road
and the country were bright, but bright
rs they were he has already lived to see
them on the highway to fulfilment. In
his speeches on that trip and the trip
which followed later in the summer Mr..
Scott repeatedly promised that the road
should be built. Jay Gould succeeds
Scott in the Presidency of the road, and
his purchase of Col. Scott's interest al
ready almost realizes the glowing proph-
ecies for it consolidates four railways.
with termini at st. Louis and Cairo in
the East, New Orleans and Austin in the
South and the Pacific coast. The con-
troll of the following roads are now in
Mr.. Gould's hands: Texas and Pacific.
New Orleans, Pacific, in course of con-
struction 10 connect with the Texas and
Pacific at Shreveport, the Houston and
Texas Central and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, running between Houston and
Dennison, with branches to Austin. He
has also large interest in the ST. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern and in the
International and Great Northern, while
the controlling interest is not unfriendly
to him. Thus, as Mr.. Forney says, "the
new link in the Pacific, which he (Mr
Scott marked out SO clearly in 1872, is
nearly finished, and the prophecy, so lit
tie credited at the time, is realized"

THE STAR SERVICE CONSPI-
RACY.
The Guilty Should be Sent to the Pen
itentiary.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Although the exposure of the frauds
committed by the star route manipula-
tors is not yet complete, enough has
been made public to justify the position
long since taken by the Times in regard
to the business of the Office conducted
by Second Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Brady. When the deficiency in the
appropriation for the postal service was
announced, it became necessary that the
causes of this should be explained.
When it was found that the deficiency
was largely due to the excessive expens-
es Of the star route service, it was i'm
mediately claimed that the star routes, las
they are called, run thro' sparsely settled
districts Of the country, and that the ad-
ditienal cost was incurred in conse-
quence of the demand for increased post
al facilities. This specious plea was
first made by Brady. 1t was taken up
by CongressmeH who favored giving
more money for the maintenance of the
star routes, snd who argued that the ex-
listing deficiency must be met at once.
1t was in vain that the Times urged
that it was not safe to trust any single
officer of the Government with the pow
er to expend large sums of money in en-
terprises the expediency of which he
was virtually the sole judge. Some in
stances of the unchecked use of this
power by Brady were then brought for
ward. Others have since been produced
by way of evidence of the recklessness

quency of the service, and he augment
ed the pay at the same time, so that this
single route, instead of costing the Gov
ernment $3.50 year, now costs it $780,
392 year. The Fort Worth and Yuma
route, heretofore referred to in these
columns. is another striking instance of
the exercise of unchecked power by one
man. To all intents and purposes, Bra
dy alone was able to say within one
month after the time when this route
was let for $l34 900 per annum that the
compensation should be increased to
sa99, 1000 per annum. Facts like these
wer. laid before Congress. They were
not q. MED, but it was urged in defence
of the apparent extravaganza that the
country demanded increased mail facil-
tiles" Some of the Congressman who
adopted this line of argument were un-
doubtedly honest in their belief They
were easily imposed upon by the agents
of the Star Route Ring, who flock about
the Capitol as thick as flies in summer.

A Remedy for Divorces
San JosL Herald.

San Josc Herald.
Marry in your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Let kiss be the prelude of rebuke.
Let self-abnegation be the greatest
earthly blessing.
Il forget" is never an acceptable ex-
cuse
If you must criticise let it be done
lovingly.
Make marriage a matter of moral
judgment.
Marry into family which you have
long known.
Never make remark at the expense
of the other.
Never talk at one another, either alone
or in company.
Give your warmest sympathy for each
others trials.
If one is angry let the other part the
lips only for kiss.
Neglect the whole world beside rather
than one another.
The very felicity is in the mutual cul-
tivation of usefulness.
Never speak loud to one another un-
less the house is on fire.
Let each strive to yield ofteneSt to the
wishes of the other.
Always leave home with loving words,
for they may be the last.
Marry into different blood and tenn
permanent from your own.
Never deceive, for the heart once mis-
led can never trust again.
1t is the mother who mOulds the char
acter and fixes the dSS'iny of the child.
Never find fault um,-ss it is perfectly
certain fault has been committed.
Do not herald the sacrifices you make
for each others tastes, habits and prefer
ences.
Let all your mutual accommodations
be spontaneous, whOle-souled and free
as air.
A hesitating or glum yielding to the
wishes of the other always CRATES upon
a loving heart.
Those who marry for physical charaC-
teristics or external consideration will
fail of happiness.
Consult one another in all that comes
within the experience, observation and
sphere of the other.
Never reflect on 4 past action which
was done with good motive and with
the best judgment at the time.
The beautiful in heart is of a million
times more avail, as securing domestic
happiness, than the beautiful in person.
