parts Of Connecticut has suffered
greatly from neglect, that no less than

average Of less than three scholars, aud

THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL.

The verdict Of acquittal In the star
route cases will surprise no one.
Steve Dorsey expected 1t from the
start. Bob Ingersoll boosted Of its
anticipated arrival, and the entire gang
Of Brady's papers at the capital have
had their editorial comments on the
result ready for nearly twelve months.
The public which ordinarily finds no
difficulty In seeing through q milestone
with q hole In II, would have been
most agreeably disappointed had the
clerk of the court been called upon to
record q verdict Of guilty. But they
have had no reason to anticipate any
such conclusion to the case.
All the circumstances have com.
blned to favor the escape from Justice
of the gang of official thieves who
robbed the government through cor.
rupt manipulation Of the star routes.
The atmosphere of Washington wa.
tainted for years with their lavish
brides. A chain Of subsidized organs
In the national capital joined In MAJ
u~facturing sympathy for the accused.
The counsel for the defense were the
ableut that could be procured, while
the voluminous testimony brought Ia
by the prosecution and the endless
speeches and arguments Of tho gov
eminent lawyers, who were paid by
the day, needlssuly protraoted the
trial, disgusted the jury and preju.
diced them against the prosecution
and Its attorneys.
Bot while the thieves escape the
punishment of the law through q
fagrsnt miscarriage of justice, the
verdict of public opinion will not be
reversed. No one who has read the
Testimony upon which the indictments
were framed, or who has watched the
oourne of the defense since the trial
began thana year ago, will doubt
that Dorsey, Brady, Miner, Vallle
q 90. richly deserved the peniten-
tiary. Nor will any one who has
watched the rambling methods of the
prosecution feel inclined to question
the statement made last week by q
prominent government official, that
under Brewster and Bliss conduct
of the case q verdict of guilty would
have forced even Bob Ingsrsoll to be-
lleve In miracles.

rapeous e1aotions" Of the Cen.
trail and Southern Pacific
railroads. The call for the
meeting was signed by hundreds of
the leading men, by ex-judges, mem
bers OF the Legislature, by republicans
and democrats alike. This is under.
stood to bs the first Of q series of up.
risings that will extend all through
the state. They will be specially
aimed at procuring the impeachment
Of the railroad commissioners, who
have proved themselves the tools of
the Huntington and Croker crowd.
These demonstrations were suggested
by the governor of the state, who says:
"The anti. monopoly Issue Is the issue
Of the age"
1t Is a. good q proof as any Of the
tlghtness Of the grip which the . lro,d
corner has on California that the rail-
road commission, which was thought
to be one Of the chief achievement of
the new constitution, should have
broken down so COM
pletely In practices. In 9th.
or states the institution has
worked admirably. 1t has done q
great deal Of good In Illinois. Its
operation In Massachusetts, In EGG.
land, and In various other states, has
been so satisfactory that there are
now railroad conmSsioue,s In twenty
five states In this country. Il CAi.
fornia alone has the commlsAlon proved
an entire and calamitous failure.
This Is simply and solely because
there Ia nowhere else ir the United
States q combination Of cspit alists Of
the same pitiless greed and IRON
handed despotism as those who con.
troll the railroads of that state.
No railroad man has ever as
serted tho defiant doctrine that
the railroad owes the public no
duties and Is subject to ne public
control as Leland Stanford, of Call.
fornia, has done No men In the
United States with possibly the ex-
oeption of the Standard OIL com.
pany, have used public fran.
chiseS with so shameless Q disre.
gard Of public responsibilities as
the Central Pacific syndicate, There
has no. been developed elsewhere In
the United States 80 striking an In.
stance of what stood forth so clearly
In France at the end of the last cen.
tury-the anti. social tendencies of
privilege, whether that privilege be
priestlY, political or monetary.
The telegraph Saturday morning
announced that tho railroad commits.
sioners Of Cfiiofni, had proposed q
reduction OF 20 par cent In the freights
and f>rts Of the Central Pacific. This
Ia an attempt to avert the storm of
Just wrath which Is rising in Cajfor.
MIA. 1t Is to be hoped that 1t comes
too late to arrest the proceedings
which shall disgrace those who have
betrayed their trus. and shall put q
more efficient check on the Central
Pacific syndicate, which Is one Of the
most dangerous sggregations of CAPT.
tai which has arisen in the United

The statistics of immigration to the
United states show q falling of OF
"a, $50 at the port of New York for
the fret four months of 1883 as com.
pared with the corresponding period
of last year. 1t is noted, however,
that the class of immigrants Is an I'm
provement upon former years. They
are generally robust young people and
unmarried, while the German immi-
grants are mostly farmers, many Of
whom bring money enough TO begin
business In q small way. The number
Of italian immigrants is ~unpreoedent-

The pensioners ore preparing for an.
other tussle with tho next congress-.
They are organizing to defend their
assumed rights and to levy q fresh
contribution upon the treasury. Their
main right seems to be to get all the
money they can, and to clamor for
more.
Their organic stion Ia powerful, and
as 1t has the treasury for an objective
point, there 10 no reason to suppose
that 1t will beco1e less aggressive
with the lapse of time. All the indica'
tionn 60 to. show that 1t will grow
stronger and more urgent from year
to year. So many of tho soldiers Of
the union armies have already had
their names placed upon tho pension
rolls, and the amount paid them an
nually has become so vast, that it Is
hard to find reason1 for excluding
others equally deserving.
The people of the north especially
are willing to be most liberal In deal
ing with the men who fought for the
preservation Of the union, and this
willingness Ia mads more than EN-
phatio by tho politicians who are
bound by the ~eIigences of their oceu'
patton to cater to the desires tf "the
soldier vote"
But the taxation made necessary by
the vast augmentation of the pension
roll Is fast becoming the most serious
burden the people must bear, and 1t Il
worth while to ask II the line should
not be drawn somewhere In extending
the benefits Of the pension system t.
the veterans. Thousands and thou
sands Of men who never received {
