THERE are charges and counter
charges Of bribery and corrupt influ-
ences brought to bear on the star
route jury a: Washington. The FORE
man Of the jury declares that some one
representing The government offered
hun $25, 5000 to convict. On the other
hand four jurymen declare they were
approached by friends Of the defend
ants, with similar propositions to acquit.
1t is dirty disgraceful state Of affairs
all round. The very soil and air about
Washington seems to be contaminated
and tainted with dishonesty. Perhaps
the people will conclude, some OF these
days to move the whole government
out west, and locate ii on breezy
prairie, where the winds and sunshine
may have a chance at it occasionally.

on THE WAR PATn.

A valued correspondent down in Will
son township puts on the war paint and
feathers this week, and writes, us as
follows:
EDITOR GRAPHIC: Not having seen
anything in your valuable paper from
this part of Adair tor some time
thought | would like to say few
words. In the first place there are
some things believe to be right, and
some | believe to be wrong. For IN
stance, 1t man goes from the country
to klrksyille, and violates town ordi-
nance, l believe II to he right to fine
him, and make him pay it. But /
want to ask if it would be right, to al
low men in kirksville, every day in the
week. Sunday not excepted. and every
hour in the day to bid defiance to the
laws and the authorities, and sell whis-
key in any quantity, that men may
wish, and let them go scot free. Or, if
they are prosecuted, Is it right for some
of the leading lights of kirksville to
say '.jhst fine them enough to amount
to what they would have to pay for a
license" Now if man kills another
you and the law and justice say hang
him till he Is dead, dead, dead. but yet
men are allowed to make speculation
OF from one to five hundred collars on
every man they kill. Is that right?
And finally the republican papers of
Kirksville tell us that the democratic
party is the bourbon party of the coun-
try, and yet, while Adair county is
largely republican, why is it the unlaw-
ful traffic in whiskey Is not stopped?
But still you say candidates must keep
quiet on the subject Now Mr.. Editor
if this does not meet the fate of some.
other articles, of other persons on the
subject of temperance you may hear
from ME again. VOTER.
Voter is a little illogical yet in the
main he Is correct. Now as "voter"
knows these charges 20 be true he's
the very man needed. His duty is
plain and we shall expect hlm to
prosecute the guilty parties and bring
them to justice. Doubtless our excel
lent officers Will be glad to help him
put down crime Some things are diff
cult to prove and tits an expensive pro-
cess to commence a lot of prosecutions
and find ont they won't stick and have
the cost come to the state and coun-
ty. Speaking of 'Bourbons,' when we
apply it to the democracy, does not
mean, as many suppose, drinkers of
whisky. The Bourbon family were al
one time the rulers of France, and it
was said of them that ''they never for
got anything. nor never learned any
thing Hence whoever opposes all
pro gress in public affairs, and desn es
always to perpetuate the past is proper
ly termed a Bourbon Unfortunately
lovers of ''old urbon'' are not exclu-
sively democrats. We must not get
our metaphorous mixed. We do not
know Of anybody beng shut out on
account of their tempe race prn-
ciples in this Office. Our wicked cotem-
poraries n;ay have done so,-we can't
saw.

AFTER long sitting lasting over three
months, the trial of the mail route con-
spir: tors has come to close at Wash
ington. 1t is in bad taste to question
the action OF jury, sworn to give a
just verdict, without the most positive
evidence Of corruption, but the verdict
given in this case is the subject of
much adverse criticism. Miner and
Perdell were found guilty, the jury dis
agreed as to Dorsey, Brady and Vale,
while tie balance of the defendants
were acquitted. The old saying that
the law is net which catches the small
fish but allows the larger ones to break
through and escape, seems to be as
true now as when it was penned nearly
two thousand years ago.

EDITOR GRAPHIC: Once again | vii
write few lines for the GRAPHIC. Since
writing before there has been quite a
change brought about by declaring the
Ute Reservation open for settlement
Parties were backward in regard to in
vesting until they knew whether they
could procure title for the land, bu,
now chat question Is settled. So the
white man can now add another until.
ed valley to the many more that are
now producing the luxurles of life.
This promises to be one of the leading
one cf the state of Colorado. It will
be the frnit garden of the
Centennial state; now we can also
raise corn which most Of the valleys
cannot produce in fact every thing that
we planted or sowed did well as late as
we commenced 1t was in May before
ever water was run in Our ditch. The
elevation..is about 45oo feet the valley
is 80 miles long and contains between
thirty and forty thousand acres SO am
informed by reliable parties. Our
town is improving right along before
many months shall roll over our heads
we will become connected with the cas-
by railroad then We will get boom.
This will be a miners winter resort;
when his summers work is done, he
will retire to Grand Valley, where it
will be milder climate than to wifter
in the mountains.
J. Shott contemplates leaving Ouray
in Il short time for old Missouri. He
is getting tired of baching. He's go
ing after his wife, and says he will
come back in the spring for good.
James Wimber has made up with
Missouri again. He said he did not
want to see her again soon but it
seems as though he could not stand
the game If you like Missouri. stay
with her, Jimmy. One good thing
about Missouri. if you furnish every
thing else, the water is poured down
on it and washes it off some times, too
much. So all in all, Missouri is good.
Mr.. Blaine, our close neighbor, says
he will have to set his fence out to give
room for his beans to grow.
One fellow says he can tell just when
to irrigate his potatoes by walking
through the patch-if they wink their
eyes they want water, ifnot, no wipkum.
Wonder what they will do when they
get ripe Guess they will shut their
eyes and go to sleep. He thinks ne
has got smart potatoes for their age.

IT seems an utter impossibility for
the scissors editor of the Glenwood

was marked "Ex." and the other at

from the Criterion we will try to

THERE is no doubt that number of

this that is rapidly disgusting republi-

The call for the independent repub-
lican Convention seems to have fallen
very fiat. Notwithstanding the whist
ling of the Gk0be-Dem0e,utt the develop
ment of enthusiasm is very slow, even
from counties that will send delegates.
Another horrid fear has been troublin e
the sleep Of the boilers and that is that
the Filley men might capture the outfit.
We presume no such effort will be made.
OF course a convention will be held,
and sufficient number of delega tes
present themselves to make a show,
and the circus will exhibit according to
programme. This is to be expected.
But the grand boom" with which the
people were to greet the movement has
failed utterly to manifest itself, SO far.
BLAINE is doubtless proud man to-
day over the result of Mondays cleo
ton. The Republicans show large
gains all over the state, and the legis-
lature will be strongly republican. The
state will send a solid republican dele

one, the state losing one by the reap
