HONESTY PREVAILS.

BY vote of 17S yeas TO so nays the
house has refused to concur in the senate
amendment to the postotiice appropriation
bill, giving the sum OF 100000 for foreign
mail service, mainly for the benefit of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The
amendment to the bill made by the senate
was placed upon the grounds that the ap-
preparation provided by it would materially
assist in building up the commerce of the
United States with the Pacific countries, a
claim as absurd as it was dishonest
There was nothing more or less intended
by the proposed appropriation than giving
subsidy to a steamship company that has
already grown rich out of the government,
through contracts to carry mails at prices
utterly beyond the value of the services
rendered. 1t was to maintain such prices
that the lobbies at the capitol have been
crowded with the paid agents of the COM
pany who have done nothing bat urge con-
gress to vote benefit to the company, un-
der the mask of aiding the commerce of
the country. The claim that the mails
could not be properly handled and expe-
dited without the additional $500 900 voted
by the senate was at no time urged, because
the POSTMASTER Gsassal had already de-
monstrated thst sash was not the case. AT
no time have the Pacific mails been SO
quickly transported as at present, and yet
it is done without the aid of any subsidy
whatsoever.
If the republican senators who conceived
this new and brilliant scheme for assisting
American commerce and the republican
members Of the house who so eagerly sup
ported ii, really desire to further the peo-
pies commercial interests with their for
eign brethers, they can do so more readily
and more honestly than BY veting dishonest
subsidies to &jshonest companies. BY
joining the tariff reform democrats in the
house in revising the country's present in.
iquitous rsvcszs sgstsn, so as 10 make it
possible for The Asnericaa people to have
markets other than their owa for Ameri-
can manufactured gseds, they can readily
solve the difficulty which at present seems
to worry them.
The overwhelming defeat of the senate's
subsidy scheme ia the house indicates that
the day of vstfsg gifts outright to rich
corporations BY the peoples representa-
tives has gone by.

GOOD MAY COME OLE II.

The revelations brought about by the
nvestigation of the Broadway railway steal
in New York City, and the conviction of
Alderman Jaehne Of the crime Of accepting
a hibe, ought to have very salutary ef
feet. For some years there has been a
growing tendency in large cities to utterly
disregard the qualifications and personal
integrity of those who present thems elves as
candidates for aldermanic honors, and as a
result the very worst men in The wards are
given complete control of the city's fiscal
affairs
1t is difficult to assign any rational eX-
PLANTATION of the fact, every where observ.
able, that those most affected by good or
bad city legislation are the most Indifferent
to the kind of men who compose the aver
age large city's council AS a rule 1t will
be found that the property interests of the
wards are seldom represented in municipal
Legislative halls, hut in their stead interests
that grow rich through barter and sale Of
aldermanic influence. Consequent upon
this state of affairs, and as the legitimate
outgrowth of 1t, are the scandals that SO
frequently attach to the official acts of those
who hold these places of public trust. 1t
Is utterly impossible to haze good legisla-
lation if those who legislate are men of
bad character and corrupt motives, and the
sooner the best elements of the people re-
alize and act upon this theory, the sooner
will there be less of corruption among men
In public places
There is now and always has been too
much Indifference on the part of strictly
business men to affairs of political char
acter, though they are always ready to com
plain If the public's interests are not prop
erly attended to. Let the business men of
the country hereafter give a. much heed to
furthering the good of the public as they
do to advancing their own private interests,
and they will soon realize that in serving
the public good they have materially ad-
yanced their own interests. The pursuing
of such course will, at least, save the
country from REPETITION of the scene so
recently enacted in New York.

AN INTERVIEW.

On Thursday the editor of the FREE
TRADER received letter from Hon
Ralph Plumb, which is published else
where, relative to the Streator postoAice
controversy, and yesterday meeting with
Mr.. Lawrence Harmon, of Peoria, who
WAS in attendance upon the Appellate
Court, and who represented Mr.. Finlen
before the Senate POstoflIce committee,
had the following interview with him. 1t
is the desire Of the editor of the FREE
TRADER to say that which is the simple
truth, and PREDATORY TO Mr.. Iarmons in
terview, he desires 10 state that the state
ments made in recent editorial that APP
peared In recent issue relative to Mr..
Plumb's action in the case before the
committee, were founded upon dispatches
contained in the morning papers of the
morning after the arguments of Mr..
Plumb and Mr.. Harmon were made.
Those statements were incorrect and mis-
leading, and in justice to Mr.. Plumb the
interview with Mr. Harmon is published /:
PLEASE state Mr. Harmon what was the
position taken by Mr. Plumb before the
Senate committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads in the Finlen case ?"
a. will state in the first place that be-
came acquainted with Col. Plumb few
days prior to the hearing before that com
mittee, which was had on Friday, April
80, 1886. Upon the occasion of one of my
conversations with Col. Plumb prior to the
hearing, he disclaimed all personal feeling
and Interest in the matter, and said all he
cared to do before the committee was to
present the facts as he understood them,
and would present as fully Mr. Finlen's
side of the case as hs would the case
against him.
"On the day of the hearing Col, Plumb
was heard first, and before the committee
voluntarily stated that he had no interest
In the matter; that Mr.. Finlen's standing
at his home In Steator was the very best;
that he and Mr. Heenan aud Mr.. Flanna gan,
the firm of D. Heenan & Co,
Of Streator, were each men of irreproach.
able character In the neighborhood where
they lived Col. Plumb also added that he
was free to say that there was not In all
the testimony any direct proof Of Mr..

relief as Mr.. Blair proposes to give them,
and until they al least call upon Congress
to take such step, the matter ought not to
be hurried.
The truth is, however, that such meas
ures as the Senate has just enacted secure
a place upon the statute book through the
efforts of those, who have but one object in
view, and that the securing to themselves
for purely political purposes the support Of
the soldier elements of the community,
and as means Of doing this, indiscrimi-
nate raids are made upon the public treas.
ury at each session of Congress under the
cloak of an unselfsh generosity. Already
the amount appropriated each year to meet
the pension rolls Of the country amounts
to many millions of dollars, and the I'm.
called for attempt to SO greatly increase it,
Is nothing short Of robbery.
Mr.. Blair's bill will now 60 to the House,
and If 1t does not find its quietus in the
Pension Committee room, as did his alb
surd educational measure, It ought to be
defeated upon the floor
II, unfortunately, It should pass the
House, the President will fail to do his
duty If he does not interpose his Veto

The MIkadO.

At last the rage of the musical season
in other parts of the country is announced
for production in Ottawa. 1t is just as well
that it has been long coming for the Chicago
Hsms Opera Company is one of the very
best on the road, and in the "Mikado are
probably unsurpassed by any company, so
that we shall see it at its best
The opera will be given on next Thursday
evening, with John Z. McVade as The
Mikado; Chas. 7. Barnes as Nanki-PoO;
Stanley Felch as Ks-Ko, the original in this
country; J. T. Allison as Pooh Bah, original
in this country; Miss Lottis Cruikshank as
Katisha; and Misses Ada Somers, Alice
Becktel and Eloise Willard as Yum-Yun,
Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo. There will be al
orchestra and chorus, Of course.
The "Mikado" is perhaps the best Of the
series of comic operas by Gilbert & Sullivan,
which have fer the past few years ecnvulsed
the English speaking pubic with their fun
and charmed their ears with delicious
musis,-a series which has given the lie to
the old theory Of the 0ssnbschian school
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1886-05-22

This whole controversy over the Streator
postoillce is one to be regretted. lis I'M
portance. as political question is slight
but it has been the means of creating en-
mites and ilifeelings out of all proportion
to the magnitude Of the interests involved
and probably the sooner II is ended ana
forgotten, the better it will be for all par
ties concerned. 1t has been fruitful
theme for the comments of the Republi'
can newspapers, which have with but one
exception, uniformly misrepresented the
facts.
But the facts have been determined
fairly and impartially by the proper com
mittee In favor of Mr.. Finlen and that
ought to end the controversy. We nave
no personal interest In the matter, nor do
we seek personal conflict with MIR.
Plumb, but shall always reserve the right
10 criticise his official conduct, when In
our judgment the public good demands it.
And We will say In this connection that
when Mr.. Plumb ceases to put obstacles in
the way of Mr. Finlen's confirmation, he
will take good step In the way of re-
moving the occasion for questioning the
motives that have astuated him in the
traL Sac,iOn.
Mr.. Plumb has nst furnished us with
the copy of the evidence mentioned in his
letter, but that is unnecessary, as we are
we'll acquainted with it. Furthermore, as
1t has been rejected as insufficient by the
committee after full and fair hearing, its
publication would accomplish no good.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1886-05-22

Finlen's alleged connection with land
frauds, and all he wanted was TO present
the case fairly to the committee. In my
reply TO Col. Plumb in addressing the
committee | stated that whilst concedlng
to Col. Plumb his right to give his view as
to what the testimony proved, and without
in any way impugning his motives, was
compelled TO differ from the conclusions
that he drew from the testimony which
was all before the committee. Permit me
to add right here that the reports as pub.
hshed in the Chicago papers as to what
was actually said by Col. Plumb and my.
self before the committee were none of
them correct. am not surprised, conse-
quently, that your people derived from
such accounts erroneous impressions of
the course of Col. Plumb before the com.
mittee. SO far as know of Col. Plumbs
connection with this case, and his presen.
tation of 1t before the committee, whilst
conceding the fairness with which he pre-
sented 1t, claimed that the gentleman
was mistaken In his judgment as to what
the evidence proved. Mr.. D. Heenan was
also present at the hearing before the com
mittee, and l am sure will verify the
statements make as to what actually &C,
Cured there.
l should say here that each and every
member of the committee, not only the
Democrats but the Republican members
OF the committee, have treated this case
with the most conslderate fairness and
impartiality.
Now, that The committee have, by their
unanimous report, sustained the view of
his case maintained by Mr.. Finlen, it
seems to me its time to say, Let us have
peace"

A POLITICAL MEASURE.

The Senator from New Hampshire, Mr.
Blair, is very much given to the introduc-
ton of great appropriation bills in the
Senate. Not osntsns with having secured
the passage Of . bin spprepriating seventy.
seven millisas q &sllars for the education
of illiterate., he has just witnessed the
passage by his feAew Senator's of another
of his measssss whieh, II it ever becomes
a law, will naeessitste an expenditure of
treble the aneta,a 81 money required to
meet the dom ands of his educational act
This latest effort on his part is pension
bill which provides: "Thal every person
specified in the several classes enumerated
In Section 1898 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States and the amendments
thereto, who served in the military or
naval service, as mentioned In said section,
for the period of three months during the
rebellion, and has an honorable discharge
therefrom, and whs Is or shall become
disabled from sny cause net the result Of
his own fault, and shall also be dependent
upon his swR exertions for support, or
upon coprisstscls Of others not legally
bound thereto, shall, on making proper
proof, receive pension during such disa-
bility of from four to twenty four dollars
per month"
That Senator Blair's bill Is Nncalled for
is apparent 10 every one who has ever
taken the trouble 10 examine the provis-
ions of our present pension laws. AT pres
ent every step has been taken by the gov
eminent to compensate those who served
the country in its time of distress, that JUS
tice OF reason demanded. Certainly enough
has been done to satisfy the soldier that
the people of the souatry are neither un-
grateful nor ungenerous. II is not noticea-

and he could be held responsible for the
