Walsh's Testimony in the Star-ROute
Trials.

Mr.. Walsh having been called by the
prosecution his examination was re-
sumed by Mr.. Bliss.
The witness testified that he had the
interview with Brady in December, 1880,
for the purpose of having settlement
of certain financial matters. This was
however ruled out. Walsh then con.
tinued that the fines imposed on Hines
we're talked of and he told Brady that
he needed money and would like q set
tlement of his account, and at Brady
request produced the notes and memo
randa. Brady replied that he had
greatly benefited the witness and did
not think he owed him anything, recit'
ing the facts that he had ordered eX.
pedition on his route and other circum-
stances. Walsh remarked that he had
supposed the expedition to be based
upon the petitions filed, to which Bra
dy reioined that it was "no use to argue
the matter or feign ignorance and told
him that it was his custom to receive
20 per cent. of the increase ordered by
him, and upon the witnesss request
furnished him with statement which
set forth that his route had been in
creased in round numbers from $4,000
to Sl35,976 per anpum. Twenty per
cent. of this difekence-$G0,O ,O00-tor
three years amounted in round num-
bers to $4,000. Brady also reminded
him that he had been assessed $4,000
for the Congressional corruption fund,
and said that he must certainly expect
to lose the balance OF it. To this Walsh
demurred that as he had appeared be-
fore the Congressional Committee and
been thoroughly examined, he did not
feel like paying the assessment. Brady
then assured him that one half or some
such percentage was what he usually
insisted upon as his share in these
cases, and that the witness really
owed him money. During the CONVEX
sation Brady had picked uD the notes
and put them into his Rocket. The
witness asked Brady what lae meant by
that, and Brady answered. that he
meant to settle the matter. Walsh then
told Brady that he wold bel compelled
to have recourse to the courts; that
outside OF the morality of the transac.
ton il was an outrage, BECAUSE the

did not understand his husihess and

The Smart Secretary.

Pha. Times.
1t begins to be apparent that this
Stalwart administration knew what it
was about when William E. Chandler
was appointed Secretary of the Navy.
Chandler has long had the credit of
being what vulgar people call smart,
and he seems determined that his repu.
tation for smartness shall not suffer
depreciation by want of effort on his
part.
The latest evidence OF his thorough
fitness to be ruler of our navy is fur
nished by his anxiety to master all the
details of the personnel OF the service.
He has issued circular to every EN-.
ploye OF the department asking, among
other things, where he was born, how
old he is, where he was appointed from,
what office he holds, how long he has
held it, and last, but not least, whose
influence secured his appointment.
Now, the ordinary man would have
sought this information from the files
OF the department. Not so the astute
Secretary. lie does not want any
secondhand information, and would
rather the incumbent would say it him
self in order to avoid mistakes here
after.
Just now, of course, the question
among these employees is: What does
he want to do with this information ?
But Chandler isn't going to tell. That's
not his way. This is a reform admins
tration. Nobody is to be turned out Of
Office because he doesn't contribute to
the party funds. But if any of the boys
are contemplating trip to the White
Mountains or Newport on the money
they have been requested to contribute
voluntarily, before they buy their tickets
they had better read that circular very
carefully. Suppose the smart Secretary
should discover any one of them who
was too old for active service, or that
the place from which he was appointed
had more than its share of incumbents,
or that he had been in office too long,
or that his sponsor was not good Re.
publican, it might prove unhealthy for
his prospects. If the employe be una.
BILE to take hint and should lose his
official head for any of the above named
reasons the Secretary could lay his hand
on his heart and asseverate that he was
removed for cause and the civil service
plank of the Chicago platform had not
been violated in any sense by his re-
moval.
There is a dreadful rumor ahoat that
the rose-colored stories recently circu-
lated about the eagerness of the en-
ployes to contribute for the protection
of the grand old party were slightly
overdrawn, and it is just possible that
Chandler's extreme anxiety to learn all
about his department may be regarded
as hint to the boys to come down with
ducats or prepare to be removed for
cause. Chandler is always equal to the
demands made upon him by the neces,
sites of the party, and that's why it's a
good thing to have smart secretaries at
the head of the several departments.

The National Capital.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The demo.
cratic members of the senate held a
caucus this morning, and resolved to
insist on full and free discussion of all
amendments to the tax bill, and to op.
pose any attempt to reach final vote
upon the bill unless such ample oppor
tunity is afforded. The drift of the dis
cussion was that the democrats should
oppose the proposed reduction on per-
fumery, cosmetics, patent medicines,
etc, and insist upon substantial re-
duction in taxation, which will directly
affect and benefit the masses of people,
and by securing full discussion of the
subject, to compel the two parties to put
themselves squarely upon record. The
caucus also determined to support Mr..
Beck's amendment. "That all taxes and
custom dues imposed by the United
States under the law for the collection
of duties on imports from foreign couns
tries shall be subjected to discount of
10 per centum after Jrnuary 1, 1888,
and to discount of an additional 10
per cent. after July |, 1887

Mr.. Jay Hubbell is really Ael. We
have before us two of his cal as.
sessment circulars of which he ard the
congressman acting with him ought to
be ashamed, no matter how little they
are inclined to blush at the general run
of the business in which they are en-.
gagged. One of these Republican assess.
ment circulars requires six dollars and
twenty cents from a little boy twelve
years old, employed ina navy yard at
one dollar per day. This little boy,
whose name we decline TO give Mr..
Hubbell for obvious reasons, is an or
phan, twelve wears old, Employed, as an
errand boy, and whose small pay is the
support OF widowed mother and one or
two children. The other of Mr.. Jay
Hubbell's circulars calls for seven dol
lars. 1t is directed 10 an old man over
eighty years, of age, also employed in
navy yard, aud receiving one dollar
and a quarter per day for such light
work as sweeping and other matters
which man of his years can attend to.
This poor old fellow does not even have
constant employment. he averages
about one hundred days work in the
year. Yet of this man, totter.pg to the
grave and over eighty years of age, Mr..
Jay Hubhull, in the name Of party OF
great moral ideas" demands The pay
ment OF seven dollars.
Will not President Arthur, will not
Secretary Chandler, step forward in the
name OF common deceucy and take Mr.,
Hubbell's hands of the throats and out
of the pockets of children and totter
ing old men? Is there no sense oi
shame, no power OF indignation, left
among our public men?-N Y. Herald

4 WOman's HerOism.

DURING q FLOOD SHE CLINGs TO A SWAY.
ING TREE AND SAVES TWO CHILDREN.
From the Osoeola Sentinel.
In connection with the White Breast
Bottom, Iowa storm, we wish to speak
of the heroic conduct of Mrs. Carey, a
young married lady, who was stopping
with Mrs. Wiles for the night. About
$50 or 10 P. NJ, the banks of the creek
began to overflow and soon the water
began coming into the house the
whole bottom was a black and roaring
body OF water; the rain was pouring
down in torrents; the cloud overhung
the sky like velvet curtain, and the
thunder was terrific. Mrs. Carey took
one little boy, aged about nine, and
Mrs. Wiles' baby, but six weeks old, left
the house and started for the high
ground, Reaching the garden fence,
perhaps 100 feet from the house, she
found the current so strong that she
could not keep her footing. Her clothes
became entangled in barb wire fence.
Fortunately she was at the foot of a
tree. Helping the boy to climb the
tree she handed him the baby to hold
moment. The waters were raging all
about her and were rapidly rising. She
must act quickly. With great presence
of mind she disengaged herself by tear,
ing her dress from her person, and
swung herself into the tree. Assisting
the hoy to climb further up she took
the baby and held it and herself by one
foot and one hand to that swaying tree
for three long hours and till rescued by
men, who swan in to her and brought
her and the children away by the aid of
ropes. When the men reached her she
said, "save the baby first" The hero.
ism of this noble little woman who thus
saved these children-the children of
another-deserves to be mentioned in
song.

of this species of partisan iniquity.
The Constitution of Pennsylvania pro-
vides that all contests for seats in the
Senate and House shall be heard and
determined by proper judicial tribu.
nal, and the provision on this subject
has been respected, except in one in.
stance, in which it was disregarded by
an ignorant and unscrupulous partisan
majority in the House. Congress could
easily erect some tribunal for hearing
the evidence in contested cases and re-.
porting the result to the House, thus
putting an end to constantly recurring
scandal. If the partisan iniquties prac.
ticed in contested election cases in the
present Congress should have the effect
of arresting public attention and lead
ing to reform they will not be an un-
mixed evil.

Webster Oh Campaign Assessment.

One Of the very first official acts OF
Daniel Webster as Secretary of State
under President Harrison was to ad-
dress to the several heads of depart
ments the following letter, which GOV.
ers the ground so fully and forcibly that
it deserves to be posted up in every pub.
lie Office:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 90, 1S41.
TO the Hon. Thomas E'ring, Secretary Of tie
Treasury.
SIR:-The President is of opinion
that it is great abuse to bring the pat
ronage of the general Government into
conflict with the freedom of elections,
and that this abuse ought to be correc.
ted wherever it may have been permit.
ted to exist and TO be prevented for the
future.
He then directs that information be
given to all officers and agents in your
department OF the public service that
partisan interference in the popular
elections, whether of State officers or
officers of the (Federal Government,
and for whomsoever and against whom
soever it may be exercised, or the pay
ment OF any contribution or ssessment
on salaries or official compensation for
party or election purposes, will be re.
garded by him as cause for removal.
1t is not intended that any officer
shall he restrained in the free and prop
er expression and maintenance of his
opinions respecting public men or pub.
lie measures, or in the exercise to the
fullest degree of the constitutional right
OF suffrage. But persons employed un-
der the government and paid for their
services out of the public treasury are
not expected to take an active or Off.
cious part in attempts to influence the
minds or votes of others, such conduct
being deemed inconsistent with the
spirit of the Constitution and the duties
OF public agents acting under it, and
the President has resolved, so far as de.
pends upon him, that while the exer-
else of the elective franchise by the
people shall be free from undue intlu.

opinion shall also be free among the
officers and agents of the Government.

Cameron Can Buy His Guide Books.

From the New York Tribune Rep.
The sincerity of the desire of Mr..
Cameron and his followers for the har.
mony has not stood the test. The can
didates of the boss could not bring
themselves to give up the chance of be.
ing named on the ticket which a new
convention of Republicans might select.
Therefore the responsibility for Repub-
lican defeat in Pennsylvania in the
coming canvass rests on their shoulders.
They prefer to sink with the boss rather
than to swim with united party. The
Independent leaders did all that could
be asked of them, and they can now go
on with their work with the conscious.
ness that they have the approval of the
majority of unfettered Republicans
throughout the nation. Mr.. Cameron
recently complained that he could not
go TO Europe--he could not "get away
from his Independent friends" He can
buy his guide books now. A long yaca.
tion is already awaiting him.

Tucson, A. T., July 23.-A Globe City
dispatch, dated July 20, says: Nj.
Sysby came in to-day from Wild Rye
county, and reports that his brother and
four other men were killed in Pleasant
valley. Three brothers, named Tewks.
bury, started from their ranch to notify
Sysby of the approach of the Indians,
but never reached Sysby's place, and it
is supposed that they and two men
named Frewer and Wareham have been
killed, as they have not been heard
from. Two or three hundred Indians
are reported on the warpath in the
vicinity of Pleasant valley and Wild
Rye county. Globe City is trying to
equip company to take the field. Dan
Ming IS trying to get u company of
Tonta scouts to take the field, but it is
thought the agent will refuse to let him
have them. A dispatch from Phoenix
dated yesterday states that later reports
from Tomta Basin confirm the news of
the recent Indian depredations. In
the fight at Sysbey's place four Indians
were killed and the Tewksbury's. Six
Indians were killed, Mr. Church was
killed, and Mr.. Medley and his man,
who went in search of cattle, are miss
ing. The reports state that from sixty
TO eighty Indians are camped on Coon
creek, and are evidently bound down
the Salt river. Buildings have been
burned, stock killed and driven off and
crops laid waste, causing great loss to
settlers. The people are taking meas,
ures to protect themselves

THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT.

1t is an open secret here that an un-
derstanding has been arrived at between
the organization on the one side and
the Republican committee on the other.
The agreement is that, in consideration
of the entire vote of the organization
being thrown for Beaver, the Republi.
can committee is to guarantee protec-
ton to these men and any others of the
order who may be charged with con.
spiracy. The plan is to secure release
from prison by bail when arrests are
made, immunity from trial when that is
possible, and protection after conviction
If the other fails. Those who call to
mind the riot bribers will understand
the significance of this promise. The
first step in the programme has been
successfully carried out. How nearly it
failed only those know who closely
watched the operations of Colonel
Hastings while here.
