'CO fie Astoria. Oregon, Saturdav Morning, May 14, 1881. No. 12. Vol. xv. 2t0t0ffttl BRADY TO THE ITKLIC. A LEXGT11T CAItD IX DErEXSE OF HIS OFFICIAL ACTIOS. HE DENIES THi: CHARGES 01" COR RUPTION AND ASKS EOR AN IM MEDIATE INVESTIGATION-NEWSPAPER BLACKMAILERS RESPONSI BLE FOE THE RECENT SENSATION. The following cind from ex assistant Postmaster-general Brady was addressed to tin New York Herald : "The eminently fair spirit in which you treat, in this mornings issue, the so-called star service scandal, ptompts me to ad dress you this brief communica tion. Up to this time 1 have satis fied inyf-irli with a general denial of the charges made by a clns of newspaper correspondent who either do not care to know the facts, or, knowing them, deliber ately misrepresent them. In say-in"- this T do not overlook tin- fact that a great many newspapers, misled by the statements of these malicious correspondents, have been honestly led to ceiiMin me and the postofiiee department in seven; teims. As you say, but one side of the question has been heard; and 1 am sure you will give me credit for candor when 1 again state that A 1 IihimiisIi lticsliu:it:i:t Of every phase of the matter can not be initialed one moment too soon for me. The case against the star routes, bioadly stated, amount to this: That upon certain ninety three of them there have been extraordinary increases ordered. This number, as small as it may be in comparison with the whole number, includes all the great National routes. A few news paper correspondents, who strike the keynote for many otheis, can not conceive how this increase has been brought about, except by collusion and fraud. These charges have been made before, were made incessantly during the winter of 1879 and 1SS0, and when congress was in session witnesses were stib pcenaed in large numbers in con sequence thereof, and as investiga tion was had by the house appro priation committee, which must be conceded to have been thorough, as it surely was far-reaching; yet, it is notorious that while that com mittee unanimously recommended a large increase over the appro priation for the previous year, congress granted nearly the full amount estimated for by the de partment, and thereby not only justified the increase on these ninety-three routes, but Continued turn: S'crnumrutlj On that basis. It is also a fact that congress at its last session ap propriated not only a sufficient amount to conduct this service as thus increased, but gave $500,000 for further increases during the next fiscal year, and it is a more notorious fact that timing the past four 3'ears the entire postal service has grown with wonderful growth. This is not confined to the star service alone, but covers and in cludes railway, steamboat and mail messenger service. In all of these there has been, in many cases, phe nomenal growth. The country, as a whole, to-day enjoys better mail facilities by one-half than it did four years ago. "What the depart ment did in such an augmentation of postal facilities could not be done gratuitously, and congress, which could have terminated it by simply failing to approve of it, after thoroughly examining into all the charges that are bi ought for ward to-day as late discoveries, said that it was good; that it was necessary and wise. "SYhat the department did in all thee icspects it ciu in obedience to the demands of the countr, expressed through its representatives. Nothing was done by my own volition. Noth ing was done Darklj or In n Corner. And yet I am responsible for all that was done while I was at the head of the contract bureau, and am proud of the fact that I was in a position responsible to the wants of the country in its recent and still continuing wonderful era of prosperity. No man who comes after meT'whatever his pre tensions may be, dares feet his face against the liberal policy inaugu rated by Judge Key. It was and is the true policy, and is indorsed by the people, and any attempt to change it will bring discomfiture and contempt upon those who hazaid the experiment. All this talk about ring and corruption comes from disgraced contractors and would-be black-mailer-. In cessant overtures were made by these ores.. brignnds to the oon- traetors, who were Mippoed by them to be in the employment of very fat contracts and large profits, to properlv mould public jenti ment; and these propositions, :e- jecteu in many instance?, wen; followed by threats that if they were denied participation ilierein a eoniraiy sentiment would be created. 1 have in all eases, when they came to my knowledge, set my face as a Hint against such proposition-, and would have been energetic in wiping nl any item of the star mail service that rested ! u . !;:- :i roniiitatii'U For nontilar sumvort. Nothing was done, a 1 have an id before, that was not done at the reqnest of members of congress, wlo were supposed to know the needs and requirements of their constituents,, and nothing was persisted in that failed to receive the approval of the majority of both. For a while the public mind may be con- founded by the clamor of tin per sons alluded to, ami they may even succeed in bunging national names into contumely and disgrace, but oniv for the time. It is not prob- able that in tin- dishurcment of , so many millions of dollars per. annum in support of a service so widely dist i ibutcd and so difficult of thorough investigation as the star mail service of this country, that no ini.-takes would be made, no money wasted, even under the wisest administration. But that there has been a single case of cor rupt collusion between contractors and the department, 1 most em phatically deny, and challenge the whole body of defamers to prove to the contrary. Tiios.J. TJi:.iy. Got a 'avy. The Canadian papers arc making rather sad meiriment over a new nift made to them by the mother country. After a irreat deal of negotiation gaud much higgling, the dominion has been presented with a navy of its own, consisting of an old-style corvette with Hush deck, named the Chnrylxlis. The' have sent across the water an ex perienced captain, only to discover, after the expenditure of many thousand dollais, that the navy is so old and unsea worthy that it would be dangerous to attempt crossing the Atlantic with her dur ing the winter months, and that even in summer it will cost $15,000 more to repair her boilers and machinery before she can be con sidered afe. The Toronto Globe offers consolation to the tax-payers, however, by calling attention to the great moral effect the posses sion of u navy will have on their neighbors, and adds: -If the Charybdis can be sailed or towed across the Atlantic, that is more than the Yankees dare attempt with three-quarters oftlieir navy. The successor to Lord Beacons field as leader of the conservative party will doubtless be the Marquis ol Salisbury. In fact, as far as Lord Beaconsfields wishes may be considered to arrange it, it is ar ranged. Lord Cairns, who is men tioned by cable, would most likely decline the position if it was offered to him. In I8G8 Lord Beaconsfield, then Disraeli, placed him in the lead of the lords, but after si.x weeks the latter retired from the position, lie prefers the chancellorship, and has been for some years in delicate health, too delicate to incur the anxieties and responsibilities of leadership Should he accept the leadership and become as a consequence prime minister one of these days, he would 'be the fourth Irishman who has filled that office within the last half century. Lord Salis bury has been for some time ac cepted as Lord Beaconsfields successor. Tlie .March or Empire A Wyoming exchange says the fancies of the Arabian Nights are facts of to-day. "Last .Monday week a number of laborers laid the last rails of a railroad which termi nated in a broad and wild prairie. The next Saturday night the prairie was dotted with houses, half a dozen dry goods stores, as many groceries, a livery stable and stockyard, three blacksmith shops, fourteen or fifteen eating houses and fifteen or twenty more forerun ners of American civilization. Three hundred people had become citizens, and the prairie had be come the town of Abeline. Next morning the church bells rung out and the worshippers knelt where seven days before was a wilder ness." Two weeks later, the popu lation aggregated 1,500 persons, and 5ti00 visitors attended a sale of town lots; 130 lots were sold for $'24,."Ufi. This is the modern realization of the fanciful story of Aladdins palace, and it is this which calls for a Brady in the assistant Postmaster-generals of fice; and such thing as is called the star mail service. In the hiat few months special I attention has been uiven hv loco motive builders to the attainment of greater -peed by their engines, and maiked success has been at tained. Vanderbilt's ride :i few days since, 229 miles in W5 min-l utes; is perhaps for the great dis tance the highest rate of speed ever attained in this country, but last March we happened to be on limi,ed exl)reis lrain that mado the distance of ninety miles be tween Philadelphia and Jersey city in ninety-three minutes. We could not count the wires on the telegraph poles along the way, while traveling at that rate. And in descending the Sierra cuts, on the home stretch, the speed was often so great that when passing through snow sheds, where the walls were of plank set perpen dicular, the vision b&yoml the wall was scarcely obscuicd the little spaces between planks open ing to an almost clear view of the snow peaks outside. In Mexico a vast amount of American capital is oing into rail roads, with the expectation that they will pay, because there is to be an extensire mining develop ment in that country. All the im portant groups of mines in Arizo na and New Mexico will be made accessible by railroads. They must have business; and no busi ness is more profitable than that which a mining development creates. At present there is no difficulty in procuring all the capi tal needed for railroad construc tion in any direction where there is a fair prospect for good returns. Never before in the history of Mexico has railroad construction been attended with so few financial difficulties as now. It is probable that there will be a counter cur rent some day. But these road once constructed, must be operated whether they were originally good investments or otherwise. The country will get the benefit of them, and it looks as if capitalists, for pome time to come, would get satisfactory returns. mothers! Mother,!! Mother. ! !
