the matter OF particulars. That sys-
tematic, widespread stealing was
being carried on by starroute con-
tractors, in which government officials
shared by collusion, was known to
every reader OF the daily papers who
followed the course Of the trials In
Washington City last winter. The
extent to which the government had
suffered could only be guessed at then.
It Is now affirmed, upon evidence,
by a committee of investigation,
that the sum stolen from the govern
ment by the star-route thieves during
President Hayes administration was
81 100000. The amount taken since
then Is not stated, though it must have
been considerable, as the star-route
ring was not broken up until Arthur
succeeded to the presidency. aa
A great show of indignation was
made against the robbers, and the
country was entertained by profuse
promiees that a part of the money
stolen would be recovered and the
guilty parties punished. Suits were
begun and high-priced lawyers en-
gagged to prosecute the cases, In
counsel fees alone Sl44,s40 were ex-
pended. And the result? Not a
dollar Of the stolen millions was recov-
cred, and only one of the rascals was
convicted, and he by confession of
guilt, upon promise of pardon, which
was not kept. Dorsey, Brady and
Kellogg, who had reaped the profits,
were untouched. They had conceived
and engineered the fraud, but it was
their creatures who bore the brunt of
the prosecution. McDRvitt, the poor
wretch who was sentenced to prison
on plea OF guilty, was not even a
participant in the "swag.n His crime
was a guilty knowledge of the con-
spiracy and a participation in it. Dor
sey, Brady and Kellogg were too inn
portant and their contributions to the
Republican corruption fund too valu-
able to allow them to be convicted.
The charge is even made. based upon
evidence, that McDavitt was sent to
the penitentlary because he was q
dangerous witness against them,
whom twas desirable to get out Of the
way.
Hayes administration was called,
perhaps in irony, an "honest" one.
Blaine is proven TO have been very
dishonest speaker. If &,OOO,OOO were
stolen in one item under an "honest'
Republican administration, what
would be saved to the country after
four wears government under con-
fessedly dishonest man?

taken in
A Boltinr NeWsnaper.


THE GAZETTE is not a little sur
prised to note the Stiffness OF neck
shown by the San Antonio Express.
Thai exemplary Democratic journal
kicks out Of the traces in the following
language, speaking of the county
ticket Just nominated: "There are
some good men named for office, but
the Express would not insult Its
friends and patrons by the indorse-
ment Of the ticket as a whole, In the
full knowledge that by 80 doing 1t
would be placing In jeopardy the best
interests Of this county, This is the
explicit language of "bolter,n and IL
gives THE GAzErTE pain to find 1t In
such stickler for party conformity as
is the Express. 1t was the Express,
we believe, which was very much dis
turbed in spirit some weeks ago lest
THE GAZETTE should not support the
Democratic state ticket because free
grass was not Endorsed and now 1t is
this same Express which is guilty of
the sin that in teeming homilles 1t
warned THE GAZETTE against.
Is it not little singular that those
very men who preached the most
austere doctrine Of subordination to
partyism when the party voice pleased
them, are the most latitudinarlan in
their Interpretation ofparty obligation
when they are in the minority? The
free-grass men are told that they can
not oppose the lease law because a
Democratic convention has expressed
belief in its favor. They would hold
the noses lof free-grass voters to the
grindstone Of party fealty regardless
of the friction. But no rule binds
them. Here is one of their organ,
declaring that "it will not insult It's
patrons by an Endorsement of the
ticket as whole.n Another OF this
class, the late chairman Of the Dem.
ocratic executive committee OF the
state, who never grew weary of berat.
ing free-grass men for supposed dis
loyalty, is nominated by a boiling con.
vention for the Office OF sheriff. The
state convention which (some men
contend) laid down the lease law as
Democratic doctrine admitted dele
gates elected by bolter's convention.
But no free-grass man dare raise his
voice against the dictates Of partyism
without being called a "bolter'' and
"disorgani2er.n
my doxy is orthodoxy" says the
lease-law boiler to the free-grass grum-
bier, "but your doxy is heterodoxy,"
