WEIGHED N THE BALANCE AND POUND WANTING.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING srAR:


was one Of the number who cordially en-
dorsed the appointment Of Mr.. J. F. Olmstead
for one of the Commissioners of this District and
was anxious to see his nomination confirmed
BY the Senate. I have no personal acquaintance
with Mr.. O., but his reputation as sound, prac
teal and deserving citizen, and the high estima-
ton awarded to him by those who have had
long and constant opportunities to Judge of his
fitness for the important position Of Commits
ssoner was sufficient to convince me that he was
the right man in the right place. But after
reading in last Saturdays STAR Mr.. 0lmstead's
statement to one Of its reporters. | immedi-
ately changed my opinion on the question of
qualification. and now say that his appointment
is lamentahle mistake. and should not be con-
firmed by the Senate. What A.. b., and c. may
say for and against him is not reliable evidence
but words from his own mouth cannot be ques-
toned. When asked If he was connected with
the star route men he replied: ITO tell you the
truth. don't know what a star route is. L don't
Know what you mean by an expedited route. l
haven't read word Of the testimony in the
case. like good fellow when meet him. |
have never asked myself whether they were
star route men. or what they were. so long as
they showed their good side to me-"
This is an extraordinary statement and admits
OF only one Interpretation; that is, on great
public questions he Is recklessly indifferent
whether the government officials are honest
men or INSCRIPTIONS swinders 80 long as they
showed their good sides to HIM" In other words
he is willing to
Let the csndied tongue lick absurd poulp
And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
Where thrift may follow fawning."
Furthermore the statement that he did not
know what star route is" is a confession of
ignorance of public affairs that an illiterate
''boot-black' on Pennsylvania avenue would be
ashamed to acknowledge. MIR. o. also admits
that he, with four others, went on the bond OF
Mr.. Brady. Nevertheless. while doing SO it was
matter OF total indifference to him whether
the said bond was to inaugurate Mr.. B. to an
honorable and lucrative office. or rescue him from
the penitentary. Some may admire such dis
interested philanthrophy and generous states
manship. but large majority. no doubt. of the
Intelligent Washingtonians will come TO the
natural conclusion that such material is too
thin" for Commissioner OF the District Of Col

the sleep of night both evidently cooled off,
for the scene is very carefully omitted from the
