The issue of the Star route trials was. as
10 the principal respondents, incouclusivc
and unsatisfactory. That there had been
plenty OF criminal "crookedness' in respect
to various star routes was amply proved.
But il was much more difficult matter to
establish conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment, and to bring the fraud home to the
guilty parties. The judge was evidently
satisfied AS 10 the guilt of Brady and
Dorsey and his conclusion is undoubtcd.
" that Of many thousands. Blu, with the
jury rested the final result Of the trial, and
there is never any knowing what a jury
will OF will not do, in such case. In this
case, however the votes Of the jury cannot
be claimed us IL vindicaton for the chief con-
.piiators. In Brady's case there were ten
for conviction and two for acquittal. Ten Of
the twelve were for convicting j. w. Dor
sey, Ind nine insisted that 3. W. Dorsey
was guilty. The conviction of Miner, who
was one of the original combination, and Of
Reidcll, who was u clerk for the Dorseys,
amounts to u moral conviction OF the rest.
This temporary escape from justice does not
mean immunity for any of the rogucs, the
government being determined to have the In.
dicttd parties stand another trial.

The prohibtory amendment which IS tt
come before the Vermont Legislature, this
year, is largely responsible for the great in
crease in the Democratic Representatives III

Of the opposition TO the amendment; A
good many Republicans were elected by
Democratic votes on the same issue In towns
where two or three candidates were running.

The Republican speaks positively; but we
doubt the correctness of its information. The
policy of prohibition is already as firmly
fixed in Vermont as if it were in the Consti-
tuition; and the towns in which the amend

election, must have been few and far be-

Europe seems to be greatly exercised
over General Skobeloffs recent speech,
wherein he stated that q conflict between
Teuton and Slav was almost unavoidable,
and for his part he did not pare how soon
1t commenced. The Germans are nat
urally indignant at this, says the Sacra-
mento Bee, because the speech was made
in France, and because it was deeply
tinged in favor of that nation. The Gar
has expressed his sorrow and indignation
at the language used, but it is not likely
that he is honest therein. Skobelof is
but as wax in his hands. to mold as he
pleases, and it does not seem probable
that he would make such a speech un.

felt certain that il would not offend him.

A graphic picture OF the plague Spot
on American society appears in the SfS-
rrSKr,s dispatches from Salt Lake City.
By concert Of action, all the school chill
dren were harangued, on the same day,
into the belief that they were signing a
petition for their present welfare and their
glory in the world to come. The details
Of the scheme by which 'the church

~pestive, as the Tribune remarks, OF the

formidable piece of sophistry-the means

from time immemorial, as history shows.

however gross and vicious the temporary
peryersion OF justice and deceney re-
sorted to in order to arrive at 1t. how
multiform and vast the crimes done IN
the name Of Christ the last accounting
will ever reveal. But the time for foist-
ing dogma upon the unwilling by foul
means is past. In this country, the

personal and religious liberty, the days
for fanatics to sophisticate and t~yrannize
have been numbered. When called upon

freedom granted by our fundamental
law, as a last resort, the American peo-
pie have spoken as inspired. Their deh-
milton has been clear and unmistakabie.
They can no longer tamper with Nor

deyotees Of this scandalous creed will find

WHO SHALL BE CONVERTED.

The Boston Globe, speaking Of the
opium.smokins habits of the Chinese in
Boston, and the facility with which that
horrible practice is being propagated
among the whites. says, "As the matter
now stands, it is q question whether the
churches can make Chinese converts
faster than the Mongolians can make
American perverts." There is no ques.
tion about it. This has been practically
ahown in the United States, where the
children Of the sun have been hemmed
In and subjected 20 the most searching
influence Of our Bible. The presumed
converts to Christianity among the Chi
nese have turned out to be anything but
an addition to the flock. The conversion
Of these people to = strange creed is as
little to be expected as that they may
ever be induced to dispense with the
national u They will always bow
down and worship as they have been
bowling down and worshiping for thou
sands of years. Their heathenism, their
superstition, or, if you please, their re-
ligion, is q part Of their composition,
nearly as much so as their yellow skin
and their kaobby cheek bones. and will
be changed with no less difficulty than
these car be modified.
1t is also a recognized fact in ethnology
that if two distinct races of men have
association the inferior will degrade the
superior; not that the superior will
elevate the inferior. The tendency
among men ia towards vice and unwhole-
some habits of life. Stimulants and
excitants are eagerly sought after. Hence,
while u civilization, as has been proved,
IL impotent to ameliorate the Chinese in
their ways Of life, there is NO lack of
reality that Americans give way very
to their vices. Were there no
other objection to these Oriental pagans,
their body and soul-destroying vice Of
opium smoking would be enough to make
us dread their presence in our midst.
The Boston Globe, and all else who dis
cuss the Chinese question, can put it
down as an axiom that the Chinese may
degrade Americans, but will always re-
main Chinese. with all the filthy habits,
obscene practices and Observation-Disclosures
to their W habits and customs, which
are their prominent national character
istics.
