GROWING ~BOURBONS,
They Were Just rs unrcasonably Noisy
in 1871 as They Are o.Dny


The frothing at the mouth by Demo-
cratic editors and speakers over the al
legged force BILL is quito familiar to
all who remember the opposition in
1871 TO the Federal Supervisors law.
That law was directed particularly to
the cure Of the enormous frauds which
had been practiced in New York City
and which, as senator Conkling said, had
resulted in the return of Democratic
majoriticS greater than the number of
men, women. children and cats and
dogs in the districts. Originally in
tended more for New York City than
the South, the Democrats nevertheless
regarded the bill as one calculated to
deprive them of a few fraud-won seats
in Congress, and hence they opposed it
to the utmost. They fought and fill
clustered against it and exhausted the
language of %invcctivc. The bill was
denounced in Congress as providing
"bayonet-rule' and 'capping the eli
max of enormity," after accomplishing
the practical obstruction of the States
II "outraging every sense of honor,
propriety and d]eccncy." Neverthe-
less the bill passed, and during the
years that the Law has remained
on the statue book tho only
fault found with it is that it is not
strong enough. The Democrats them.
selves have not passed bills to repeal it
when they were in control OF Congress,
but now, when it is proposed to
strengthen and amend the act, they be-
gin to howl in much the same fashion
as they did when the original bill was
under consideration, They know tho
absurdity of the outcries they make
against a law calculated to prevent bal
lot-boX stufiing and false counting, but,
of course, they can not disclose the true
ground of their agitation and wrath.
1t wouldn't do at all to say that they
oppose the bill because it is calculated
to deprive them of some thirty seats
which they now hold in Congress by
reason of successful election villainy.
1t wouldn't sound we'll for them to say
that all this excitement and turmoil
are caused by the fear that if elections
are made fair in the South they will
lose so many votes that they will have
small hope left of grabbing the spoils
in Presidential elections. Nevertheless
that is what hurts them. If the bill
would help them get the spoils and
plumber thoy would give it unanimous
support. I%nasmuch, however, as it is
calculated to deprive them of fraudu-
lent representation and make the
spoils of Office harder to get and more
uncertain it naturally provokcs great
bowling and gnashing of teeth.-Chica.

FALSE
An Attempt to Discredit MIR. wanamaker
with the Soldiers.

WIN thc oih'NiS
Maliciously-false statements have
been published broadcast to the effect
that Postmaster-Genera Wanamaker
is opposed to the appointment of vet
erahs, and antagoni2eS them at all times
and places. Also, that the G.. A. II. is
strongly %resenting this policy.
Nothing can be farther from the
truth. Mr., Wanamaker was an ardent
Unionist during the war, and has a
strong affection for the men who vent
to the front to fight the battles of the
country. He has always shown them
the preference when possible.
In the Post-oifce Department proper
there were IS ox-soldiers in position
outside of the civil service when he en-
tered office, and now there are 80. In
the mailbag repair shop there are "a
soldiers, 4 sons of veterans, 3 soldiers
wives, 10 wal widows and IS soldiers
daughters, making % in all, or 81 per
cent. of the appointees to places in the
gift Of the Postmaster-Genoral. This
is, of course, outside of the regular
classified service of clerks, etc, n very

Mrs. Harrison Justly complains of the
frequent impertinent and offensive
newspaper publications concerning the
private affairs OF her family. The fact
that she is the wife Of the President and
that her family live in the White
Heusc should not expose her to fippaht
and oftentimes insulting publications.
The household of the humblest citizen
in tie land should be guarded against
the intrusion of the reporter and pro-
tccted from the offensive notoriety Of q
publication concerning family affairs
which do not or should not eontefn the
public. There Is no reason why the
private family affairs of a President
should be held less sacred than those Of
the peasant. 1t is true there must
necessarily be more OF the glare of pub
LEFTY upon the life and surroundings of
a high public official, but there is a line
beyond which a prnrient journalistic en-
terprise should not go. Mrs. Harrison
is right in protesting agains5 the con-
slant prying into the private affairs OF
her family by reporters and the many
misleading statements made in the
press, statements which are of no value
to the public, and in their flippant ex-
%aggoration and Misrepresentation can
only mortify a family which certainly
should be treated with respect and con

GATH EULoGiZES QUAY.

The Correspondent Has Something TO Say
to His Fellow Democrats,
The exposure, as it is called, OF Matt
Quay, of Pennsylvania, reminds me OF
the fable of Assop, where the wolf met
the lamb drinking in the brook, and,
wishing to pick q quarrel, exclaimed
that tho lamb was muddying the water.
That can not be, dear friend" said the
lamb, "since you are upstream from
mo and tho brook flows down from
you" mo matter for that" said the
wolf, "your father vas a scoundrel, any
way;" and he proceeded to eat the lamb;
from which the Greeks drew the moral
that where you wantt to quarrel you can
easily find a motive. Quay's ~offcnse, as
far as ! can make IL out was taking
money, or losing money while State
Treasurer, or when somebody else was
State Treasurer, and having it made up
by his friends. If this were all true,
what an extraordinary instance it Is Of
INC honor of friends, FOR we have had
about eight State Treasurers in a few
years past robbing their States, and in
hardly any case have their bondsmen
offered to put up onc penny. Some
thing realistic must exist among the
Pennsylvania politicians when they
thus lay down their lives for a friend,
1t was once said: Greater love hath no
man than this, that he lay down his life
for his friend;' but in the modern ago
tho surrender of ones property for
friendship is Il cause of congratulation
and not of excuse
Tho security of things is not assisted
by achieving the wholesale demoraliza-
ton of society. 1t is much better that
stability obtains than panic, These acs
cusations are the staple of our politics,
and if everybody believed them there
would not be faith enough in the coun-
try to go to church by. ] look to
Il few things in a man to form an esti-
mate of his character, and among these
is his addiction to his scholarship.
From all that lean hear, Quay is one of
the most thorough readers of general
literature in our public life. | observe
that his candidate for Governor, who is
only f%orty-one years old, IS the son of n
State Senator. and his father was a man
of influence, The son went to the col
lcgc at Pittsburgh n to the Harvard
Law school, took three years to the
practice of the law. then became a bust

dent, and generally effective in his To-
cality. lie has been mayor of his town
of Meadvillc, and IN active campaigner
in years past, a Presidential Elector
and a State Senator. All this has been
accomplished in a life of forty-onc
years. The only point brought out
against the candidate is that another
politician, who wanted his place, ac-
cuscd him of spending money to be
elected to the State Senate.
1t seems to me to make this state
mcnt of the political rival and disap-
pointed creature, the arraignment of
" substantial lives in father and son,
IS to love discord better than character,
and TO set a bad example as a public
teacher. Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Owing to pressure of news and the increasing
circulation of The STAR, compelling its forms
to be put upon the presses promptly at the re-
quired hour, and also to make proper classifca-
tion of matter, it is absolutely necessary that
all advertisements shall be received at the
business Office earlier in the day than formerly.
Its advertising patrons are therefore requested
to send in all changes of matter before II o'clock
am, and all ne.D matter before IL o'clock M,
and as much earlier than those hours as possible.
Copy received earliest will have preference, al
ways, and that coming in after the hours named
cannot have assurance Of insertion until the
