THE most remarkable performance now

nominated the star route trial. The five
or six weeks the re-trial has been in prog
ress has developed nothing but wrangling
between the judge and the lawyers. Not
an item of testimony of the least conse-
quence has been evolved, and Judge
Wylie exclaimed in despair day or two
since, that the smallest pin-head gave rise
to argument; that the liberty of speech was
abused as he had never before seen it
and concluded by saying that none of
those engaged in the case would survive
the trial if that condition of things con-
tinued. The country is tired of the whole
thing, and while the government is making
a pretense of finding out who, if anybody.
got few illegitmate thousand dollars out
of mail contracts, there continue larger
leaks and great corruption, which the noise
of the star route prosecution serves as a
shield to hide. 1t may be doubted if
public administration will be . greatly
purified if poor devil or two who some
tine or other held mail contract, is found
to have gone wrong, while senators of the
United oates buy their seats with money,
grow rich, reside in palaces and fare
sumptuousIy, without ever having az
quired an honest dollar in the whole
course of their lives.

AMONG The other amusements OF the
season is the session of the Ohio legisla-
+ure which began January I'd. So far
the Republican members have been max
ing faces at each other, and calling names
and doing other undignifed things, over
the temperance legislation of last winter
which had more or less to do with the Wa
terloo that overwhelmed the Republican
party in the state last October. From all
appearances the truly good majority of
the present legislature are in fair way
to make bad matter worse, so far as
they are politically concerned. Of course
while the Republicans are thus making
themselves miserable, the Democrats are
Shving nothing to do but enjoy the fun.

The government is about to produce a
new nickel coin. Something handsome
and progressive, as it were, is promised.
Probably the new coin will not have any
greater purchasing property than any of
its predecessors, but it will add to the as
sortment of curiosities gathered in by coin
collectors. Thus the public funds are ap-
piled in wastefulness that is of no bene-
fit to the vast multitude who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.

OLIVIA, Mimi, Jan, 13-Lincoln's brass
mill, elevator and residence were de-
stroyed by fire last night. The fire was
discovered about 10 o'clock p. m. and is
supposed to have originated in the base
ment of the mill. Cause unknown. The
property was valued at $4,000; insured
for $4,000. About 10000 bushels of wheat
in the mill and elevator were burnt,
which was covered by insurance.
THE EMBEzzLING CASHIER.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
New YORK, Jan. 13.-Cashier Shaw, of
the defunct Jersey City bank, was again
before Justice Stilsing this morning, after
spending the night in the city prison.
Ex-Judge Hoffman appeared for him and
asked to see the complaint on which his
client was arrested yesterday, the charge
of embezzlement and larceny being made
by Police Capt Edmundson. Counsel
read the complaint carefully and laid
it down with cynical smile. AS
he was about addressing the court
the justice said: "Here is another
charge, Capt. Edmundson again being the
complainant. The prisoner is accused,
under section 157 of the criminal act, of
making false statement under oath, in
that he falsely testified as to the banks
financial condition; in other words, the
crime charged is perjury.
elbow much bail will your honor de.
mand pending an examination? Judge
Hoffman asked. The motion for bail is
always in order"
Il fixed the amount yesterday" replied
the justice sat $4,000 on one charge, and
the question whether, now that there is an
additional criminal charge, the amount
should be increased, or, as circumstances
develop during an examination may be
reduced, is still OPEN" Justice Stilsing
resused to take less than 700 bond,
saying that the public were intensely ex-
cited over the case. ''Then
am ready to go into an
examination" said Judge Hoffman. The
justice replied the case should be laid over
until Monday morning, and the counsel
consented to the adjournment, although"
said he II am anxious to know what my
friend Capt. Edmundson knows about
banking"
1t is almost certain that Cashier Shaw
will escape Indictment on the charge of
embezzlement and larceny, for there is no
one to testify against him, all of the pre-
sumed directors refusing to do 80. On the
charge of perjury he may be held for trial,
as receiver Williams hopes to make such
progress in the examination of the books
of the bank as to produce evidence on
Monday which will sustain the allegations
that Shaw swore to false statement when
the bank made its accounting just before
it failed. For want of bondsmen, Shaw is

House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-ImmedIately after
reading the journal the house went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Reed, OF
Maine, in the chair, on the pension arpro.
priation bill. It appropriates $81, 575, 900
Of which S80,000,000 are for army pen.
sions, 100000 for navy pensions, S275,
600 for fees and expenses of examining
surgeons, $29,0s0 for pay and allowance OF
pension agents and $4,000 for contingent
cies.
Mr.. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, under au-
thority of the committee on appropria-
tions, moved to increase the appropria-
lions for army pensions to $85,000,000.
After lengthy discussion the motion
was adopted.
An amendment was also adopted, max
ing Immediately available $4,000 of the
appropriation for fees and expenses of ex-
aiming surgeons.
Mr.. O'Neil explained that at the close
of the present fiscal year there would be
an unexpended balance to the credit of the
pension bureau of $15,800,0O0, which
would bring the appropriation up to the
estimate of the departments, $101, 49,
600.
Mr.. Blackburn said that the amendment
was right, 80 far Gs it went, but the ques-
ton was whether it went far enough.
The estimates amounted to $101, 10000.
This bill to appropriate $86,OO0,OO0 re-
appropriated the unexpended balance
which should be on hand at the end of the
current year. He feared deficiency bill
