"1rs' Washington Light Infantry, of

gratifying, not only to tho company

that such a representative body OF

will be remembered that it was rcgi-

tained in such magnificent style in
1881 by the good and generous hearted

TIE HERALD ON THE STAR ROUfII

Upon the probable results of the
Star Route vcr,1iti, the New York
Herald speaks plainly, boldly and scn-
sibly. No journal in The land wiclds q
more powerful and telling influence or
Il 'cs half SO much towards moulding
and shaping tho public sentiment of the
country. Atc Ucrald, with its won
dcriul facilities for information, S;ln
feel the popular pulse, and with Il mar
Vcllous accuracy analyZc the state of
the public mind. The following cx-
tract from its leading editorial of the
2lSt inst. will be read with interest:
we believe the star route verdict will
leave profound and fasting impression on
the public mind. 1t ought to. The men
declared "not guilty" are Of no consc-
qucncc; but the result of this trial will
Justly be held by all thoughtful citizens as
proof that it is high tintc to make change;
that the ''party of great moral IDEAS" is no
longer entitled to their confidence and
cannot be safely trusted with the peoples
money. The verdict is, To hn snrr, but one
of many evidences to the Same effect. The
River and 1Iarbor jobs, the Rohrson navy
jobs, the impudent refusal Il, make ada:
quatc reductions of taxation, the c0rruut
determination to compel needless aud sur
plus taxes out of the peoples p0ckcts, The
pension SwindIo the mbir;hing alliance
with all sorts of monnpoIiGS-all these
prove that the Republican patty has ouet-
lived not merely it's usefulness bu{ its moral
sense. Buf it probably needed this result
of the star route trials to break the back of
the pubic's patience.
The Presidential campaign of 1881 will
be battle between the people and the
friends of monopoly and jobhcry. But in
such contest the people, badly led, are
sometimes beaten. We shall rec what we
shall srr.
Let the corrupt party bc assailcd in
the campaign wherever its political
record is weak and rotten, and tho
star route verdict and the scapcoou.s 8
Dorsey and Brady will be important fac
tors in thc solution Of the political
problems Of 81. The fnt;Nr, for the
Democratic party and the people, teens
with umrivallcd opportunities.
