THE stupid Star, in its efforts to serve its
master, the Attorney General, does not
hesitate at a deliberate lie. In an editorial
yesterday on the expenses of tho Star Route
trial, it says:
"The fees paid jurors and witnesses are the
same In the tar-Route cases that they are In
all other criminal cases coming before our
courts. No more and no less. The law flXes
that"
Yes, the law fixes it. But it does not fix
1t as the essence Of stupidity and ignorance,
sometimes called the Erening Yes,erdqy,
would have it understood. Here i s the
law that fixes it:
An act to increase the fees OF witnesses In the
United States courts In certain cases.
BE IL enacted, dc., That all persons residing
west or the mississippi River, excepting those
who are by law entitled TO O higher compen.
satlon, who have been or may hereafter be in
attendance at Washington, District OF Colum.

OF the courts OF said District, I'm any of tho
cases known as StarRou prosecutions

age Tor actual travel only to and from their
place OF residence, by the usual routes Of
travel, at the rate OF seven cents per mile.
Approved, January 10, 1888.
We are disposed to be charitable, and
therefore we are inclined to think that it
was characteristic ignorance and not de-
liberate lying that caused the publication
of the above paragraph.

Rrewster.s Failure.

Mr.. Brewster has failed to convince those
who have paid any attention to the con-
troyersy that his summary removal from
Governor Geary's cabinet was not on ac-
coant of his connection with the attempted
outrage in the matter of the Marine Hospi-
tai at Erie, Pa. Hon. Wilson Laird, writ.
ing to the Erie Graphic, takes Brewster &C.
verely to task for attempting to smirch the
memory of Governor Geary, and reiterates
the original charge in the following Ian.
guage:
mittcd by Brewster, that Governor Geary did
demand hie resignation, and II Is further
demonstrated that the demand was ma1e for
Inludlcious and unwarrantaDe conduct, to
call IL by no harsher name, in office, or In
stronger terms, as the Governor designated It,
wealth.
Another correspondent says:
Lairds statement is true. In the leg,sla.
tiye and executive records at Harrisburg In
1871, clearly shown that by crooked legIsia
ti0n fathered az by Lowry and Brewster, this
away from the State for the paltry sum OF $40,
and that the gang cut on thousands OF s'cedar
trees" swearing they would destroy the beau.

paid them $1,000, 600 for It. Brewster and
Lowry's attempted steal cost the State s}O.
200, and also caused BENJAMIN Harris Brow
hter to be summarily kicked out OF the Office of
Attorney General. Now these are cold and
"ciean CUT truths.
1t is but fair to Mr.. Brewster 10 say that
some of his friends who claim to know AL
about 1T " say that he was forced out of
Geary's Cabinet as the result of a political
bargain or trade between the Governor and
certain influential Philadelphia politicians.
who wished to humiliate Benz. Harris b.
by having him dismissed and his brother.
Cadwalader B., called in to fill the vaoaat
place, What basis for this story there is
beyond the fact that Governor Geary did
get rid Of Benjamin and did immediately
appoint Judge Cadwalader Brewster to be
Attorney General of Pennsylvania. THE
CRITIC does not know?
The story may be true, or Governor
Geary may have been so much impressed
by the Brewster boys that he was deter.
mined to have one in his cabinet, and
naturally preferred the better-lookine.
abler and more honest one of the two.
Whatever the facts in the case, every.
body at the time agreed that Governor
Geary did most excellent service for the
State in onsting the corrupt Benjamin, and
everybody Is now agreed that the Presi-
dent could do no better service for the
Nation than to dismiss from his Cabinet

TIE last number of the North Ameri-
can Reriep contains a discussion upon "The
moral influence of the DRAMA" conducted
by Rev DR.. ]. NJ. Buckley upon the one side,
and John Gilbert, actor A. NJ. Palmer,
manager and William Winter, critic, upon
the other. 1t is needless to soy that it is
an interesting and able presentation of
both the dark and the bright side of the
question, and will repay perusal by every
one. The friends of the drama contend
that there has been improvement in every
way except one, and that is in the liter
ature Of the stage; and there has been no
Improvement there 'for the simple and OBJ
vious reason" as MI. Winter puts it, that
"after Shakespeare it could not improve
no such man has since appeared" An ex-
