ToDAY Vol. VI. of the DAILY HER AID begins, and that means that we begin our sixth year, our volumes comprising the edition for an entire year and not for six months, as some journals are in the habit of reckon~ ing.
 A year ago we were just gathering up the fragments after being pitched into the street on account of fire. Today we have a new and commo- dious building as nearly fire proof as it can easily be made, and our paper is printed on fine and costly power press just put in operation
 Ou1 faith in the country and peo- pie is unabated and we have spent our money In fixing the HERALD permanently in the community 10 whom it is so largely indebted for the success with which it has been favored.
 The HERALD has diligently en- dedvored to devote itself to the well fare of the county in particular and the Territory in general, often sacN r1fcing present interests for the ad- vancement and development of what we have faith to believe will in the future be the leading section Of the country in the entire southwest, and we hope 10 see the HERALD keeI pace with the enterprise of the country in which it exists. Oul sixth annual bow is Tn order.

Now, before we try the Democratic party, suppose we examine its record. That parry has a past, altogether too much of it in fact, and a present
 it would like to get rid of. Before asking a new trial il should explain these facts: Under Martin Van Buren, Democrat, the Government lost by dedication and robbery over
 $11 on each S1 GOO handled; under Grant, whose administration is the Democratic synonyme for corrup- ton, the loss on each $1,OOO was B cents. Under Buchanan, the last Democrat, the loss on each $1,O00 was S3.s1; under Hayes the loss was only one-t third of a cent on each $1,000 Under the present admins istration the loss has been bu. IS cents on S1OO,OOO. The average loss on each thousand dollars under Democratic rule was over five dol- lars, while the average loss under Republican administrations has been less than forty cents-not one twelfth the Democratic amount These figures are more eloquent than aGy words, and they show how
 wise it would be 10 put the Demo- crats in power 10 get honest officials.

"OF the tax levy of Maricopa county for the year 1883, which was S3 .33 on the S1OO, the sum of 50 cents was devoted to a sinking fund with which to meet our bonded debt.

REPORT ON THE STAR ROUTE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-The cons mittee on expenditures Tn the de- partment of justice, which, during the last session of Congress investi- gated the Star Route prosecution, has completed its report for the subs mission to the House on it's assem- bling. The report is signed by Messrs. Springer, (chairman) Van Alstyue, Hemphill, Bryan and Crisp, the Democratic members Of the committee. It details at length the history of the Star Route frauds, from Hayes administration down to the time of the commencement of suit, and declares that the frauds upon service could not have been committed without the knowledge, cooperation and assistance of Thos. J. Brady, and that not only the con tractors but many other persons in high official position in the govern ment were either criminally cogni- zant to the frauds or guilty as par~ l ticipants therein. It declares that the amount out of which the gov ernment was defrauded in the Star Route mail service during Hayes administration exceeds $4,00O, ,o00 :. At one time the government was paying $450,000 per year for carry ing mail to offices that yielded less than S12,0OO revenue. In cenclu- sion the report says: "Your com mittee is of the opinion that there were many causes which operated to prevent a successful prosecution of the Star Route offenders. What- ever these causes may have been, it | is doubtless true that those who will take the pains to read carefully the testimony taken by your committee on this subject, comprising nearly a thousand pages of printed matter, will reach different conclusions
 There was great diversity in the tes
 timony and many contradictions Will be found, wholly irreconcilable upon any other theory than that of wiiful perjury. It is sufficient, how- ever, for the purpose of this inves> tigation, to state that while the evi> dence against the Star Route con tractors and public officials, is as strong and conclusive as to their guilt. and that the government was defra uded out of large sums Of mon ey, aud that large sums were also expended 10 secure indictment and conviction, yet no persons were con- victed or punished, and no civil suits have as yet been instituted to recover the vast sums illegally and fraudulently obtained from the pub lie treasury"
