ANOTHER SCANDAL
In the War Departmental Time a
Post Chaplain Goes Wrong.

HlofAtsstoft
The War Department has another in
teresting scandal on hand, the victim who
has fallen from grace this time being Post
Chaplain Toussant Mesplie. This officer
is a native of France and was commits
stoned from Idaho in August, 1882. Be-
fore entering the army it is SAID he was
volunteer missionary among the Idaho
Indians, and now that he is under a cloud
some very unsaYOry stories are circulated
about his carvings on between his In
dian flock and certain post traders. The
story of his present difficulties, however,
is of a more recent date. About a year
ago Chaplain Mesplie was granted sick
leave of absence. He went
West and Overstaid his time,
and on being notified of that fact last
January he begged a further extension on
account of impaired health. Since then,
however, he has not been heard from until
several weeks ago, when word reached
the War Department that he had dupli-
Gated his pay accounts, but to what
amount is not made public. An inquiry
into the matter further developed the fact
that the Chaplain was last heard of in
London. England. 1t is not believed that
he will return, and in the meantime it has
been practically decided at the War De
partment that if he does not report within
a reasonable period he will be dropped
from the army rolls as a deserter. Mes
pile is we'll known among the bankers
here, he having visited them frequently
while in this city to negotiate his pay
certificates

The star Route Civil Suits.

U0EHkftgIoft
The attorneys for the government are
confident of recovering large sums from
the star route contractors. Second Assist
ant Postmaster Elmer says that the proofs
will insure judgment amounting to be-
tween one and two million dollars. Post
master General Gresham not only takes
a special interest in these proceedings, but
expresses confidence that the result will
be favorable to the government.
These civil suits, as well as the crimi-
nal proceedings. have one important
feature for Mr.. Gresham. If there have
been frauds they were committed with the
present machinery of inspection. Brady's
machinery has never ceased to operate.
1t is operating now. There has been no
change in the corps of inspectors since
the alleged star route frauds were dis
covered.
1t is the special duty of the forty inspec-
tors of the department to see that neither
useless nor dishonest contracts are made.
They are required to report regularly and
from personal knowledge to the depart
ment. If these inspectors, all of whom
are now in the service, were performing
their duty the department knew perfectly
well what frauds were being perpetrated.
If they failed of their duty, or were in
completely with the defrauding contrac-
tors. they ought at least to have gone out
.Of Office when the frauds were discovered.
The civil suits possess an especial IN
terest for Postmaster General Gresham.
That officer is credited with the intention
of making certain and sundry changes in
the interest of reform in the administra-
sion of the Post Office Department. His
acute, logical mind has not failed to per-
ceive that the corps of inspectors has not
faithfully performed its duty.
1t looks as though the star route ring
still existed and dominates the depart
ment. The corps of forty inspectors seem
to be so strongly intrenched as to be able
to defy any attempt to disturb them.
Cleanliness and purity make Parker's

The President and the Southern
ExpOSitiOn.

Unless something occurs to prevent
him, the President will be present at the
opening of the Southern Exposition at
Louisville tomorrow. There is no hint
that his visit has any political signif-
canoe. He was invited by a committee
of distinguished Kentuckians who fairly
represented the people of the state,
and he accepted. He viii, no
doubt. bear himself we'll. as he
always does on pubic occasions,
and will create a favorable impression.
The newspapers will say some kind things
about him. which will tend to increase his
popularity. If he is candidate for the
Presidential nomination Of his party, he
undoubtedly fully appreciates the ad-
vantages which will accrue to him from
the Louisville visit. The impression IS
getting to be very general that he is
candidate, and that he stands a better
chance of getting the nominal
ton than any other member OF
his party that can now be named.
The replies received by the New York
Times, in answer to inquiries sent to all
parts of the country, showed that he was
second only to Blaine in popular esti-
nation. 1t is admitted that popular as
Blaine is he cannot get the nomination.
Those of his friends who are authorized to
speak for him say that he recognizes this
fact, and that he is making no effort to
secure the nomination. Ever since
Mr.. Arthur became President he has
been trying to make himself popular in
the South. Among the first of his most
important acts was to send an extra mes
sage to Congress recommending liberal
appropriation for the improvement OF the
Mississippi river. He put himselfsquarely
on record i'm favor Of that great work, and
thus strengthened his administration
throughout the Mississippi valley. Some
Of his closest friends are Southern Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives. He
does not, of course, expect any help from
Southern Democrats in getting the nOmi-
nation. but he knows that popularity
with them will help him in various ways.
In the North it will he said that he is
strong in the south, and may be able to
carry. some of the Southern States. In the
South the prevailing sentiment will have
something
gates to the National Convention. al
though the office holders will, as a rule,
make up the delegations. In several Of
the Southern States, particularly where
there are interests which demand pro
lection. there are a great many In
dependent voters. \ popular Re
publican candidate may catch these
voters and there may be enough
Of them to give him one or two Southern
States. There is nothing to be gained in
the North now by exhibiting hostility or
bitterness to the South. The President Is,
therefore. showing himself to be shrewd
politician by endeayOring to strengthen
himself in the South in every possible way.
1t Is not improbable that in accepting the
invitation to be present at the opening of
the Southern Exposition he took into con-
sideration the advantages the visit would
be to him from political standpoint.
