THE STAR SERVICE JoBBERs.

Inc Post UthCe Department estimated
the star service, which means all other
modes Of carrying the mails than by
railroads and steamboats, for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880, at SIS 900 OO0
every dollar asked was uugrudgingly
voted. Soon after Congress met in De-
Cember, 1880, the Postmaster General
sent in communication asking for a
deficiency of 100000 for this star ser.
vice, to which no allusion had been
made in his regular report.
That demand led to an investigation,
and it was found that Brady, who makes
the mail contracts, had expended nearly
the whole appropriation intended for
the year, and entered into contracts in
volving million and three.quarters in
addition thereto. He did this in fragrant
violation of section 8 779 of the Revised
Statutes
"No department of the Government
shall expend in any one fiscal year any
sum in excess of appropriations made
by Congress for that fiscal year, or in>
volve the Government in any contract
for the future payment of money in ex.
cess Of such appropriations"
And this was not all. When Brady
found his corrupt extravaganza was to
be resisted, he had an order issued by
the department notifying every star ser.
vice contractor that one trip per week
should be the limit of his service. The
effect Of that order, if executed, would
have been to disturb the mails in every
State and Territory, not transported on
railroads or by steamboats,. The inten-
ton was to CocrCe Congress into addi-
tional appropriations ior the jobs of the
Second Assistant Postmaster General
and his associates.
1t was proven before the investigating
committee that on twelve routes in the
most distant States and Territories
eight Of them in Territories-the service
had been increased from $248, 1925 to ST.
l83,31619. All these routes were the
farthest removed from observation, and
therefore were the most easily handled
by collusion, there being only very
limited population on any Of them. Take
as specimens the Vinita and Las Vegas
route in the Indian Territory, which
Brady raised from So, 300 to $3.50, ,5S2O3,
or the Bismarck and Fort Keogh route
in Dakota Territory, which he raised
from 81, $50 to $4,000 per annum.
Now as to his methods. The route be.
tween Prescott, Arizona, and Santa Fe,
New Mexico, was let to George L. Nc.
Donough, with service of three times a
week, to begin October, 1873, and to end
June 80, 1882, for $l9.9l per annum,
Kirk and Gleason being his securities.
Two days after the contract was made,
Brady ordered the service increased to
four trips per week, with an increase Of
pay of ST., ,750l6 for the single addition.
altrip, making together $31, ,063 16. On
the same day the service was "expe-
dited," that is to say, the running time
was reduced from one hundred and fifty
hours to ninety hours, for which an OK.
ira allowance Of $4S.4S6 81 year was
made. ''
Thus, inside Of two days, aud before
the contract went out of the Office, it was
put up from $l9 919 to $74 $50. On the

The Father Of Ten Small Children and His
Claims.
One of the figures now seen daily in
Washington, either at the State Depart
ment or at the White House, or both, is
small in stature and dark in complexion.
In addition to being dark, he is bald.
headed, ierky, and very exCitable. He
came here four years ago. He came to
get place, Though only about 40 years
of age, he has ten small children, the
same number that, according to the old
New England primer, followed John
Rogers, the martyr, to the stake. His
claim for an Office lay in the fact that he
had done some campaign work in Mis-.
souri, in 1875, and in ten small children.
He trotted those children out on every
occasion. He had pictures of each Of
them in his pocket, and also a group pic
ture. He would show his photograph
gallery to you and tell when this one
had the measles and the other
the Group. He told President
Hayes about these BARNS. Secretary
Evarts was as familiar with them as if
they had been his own. The patriarch

It was a year before he saw daylight.
He vas then sent to a small commercial
agency on the continent. 1t took him
just one week longer than two passages
across the ocean to get back. In that
week he had gotten into trouble. He
gave up the job, but wanted another.
The ten children were trotted out again,
and their history and helplessness again
rehearsed to President Hayes and Sec
retsry Evarts. Secretary Evarts said
that he never had 30 much trouble with
his own large family of eleven, but the
American hung on, Hanging on was his
stronghold. he conquered again. They
sent him down on the Isthmus. He was
back again in five months. 1t took him
two weeks on the passage each way.
The other three months he was sick
