BOSSISM IN AMERICA.
UoacoQ Conkling, late tbe senior Sen
ator of the State of New York, is pre
eminently the bossiest politician in
America. We mean by "Bossism' 1 and
the adjectives which we have coined
* from it, that system of j olitics wherein
a man acquires ami maintains influence
thr u ,'! tings and cliques instead of
appeals to the reason and patriotism of
the qualified Electors. This being the
popular idea of bossism, and Mr. Conk
ling • .-in.; it most conspicuous embodi -
ti.cn' iu the United States, it was a
down rig! t pleasure to the great oody
of the best citizens of the country to
eee the ucvv President, Mr. Garfield
behead it. and defeat it in his conduct
toward the Senator from No# York.
I5.it na things have proceeded at Albany
for the last ton days, wo are very much
mistaken if this popular pleasure has
not been very greatly diminished. It
begius to appear that the conflict being
waged there is but a combat between
two bosses, viz. Mr. Conkling upon tbe
oDe hand and the President upon the
of her. The only pleasure left us is one
which constantly suggests the true pro¬
verb, “when thieves fall out honest
men got their dues." Perhaps we might
say just boro that it would give us
sincere pleasure for the administration
men to defeat Mr. Conkling and his
henchmen. The country would be bet¬
tered,not that bossism would bo ties*
troyed in America, but that of two
boassw wo would bo subject to the one
least corrupt. In public and in private,
ns far aa we have been able to discern.
Mr. Conkling is incomparable of all the
men occupying distinguished position
in the country the vilest. He is a vain,
sansua', Picky, highly intellectual man.
In mind capable of almost any strength,
ami in morals capable of any degrada¬
tion. With a genius fertile to imagine
and skillful to des ; gu mischief: he has
no virtues to restraiu him in the most
vuibridte' if/ c^es for power. Moreover
he is the leader of the most Corrupt wing
of his party -that section of the Re«
publicans which is so lost to self respect
as to covet a third term for the notable
puppet who in his previous career so
servilely obeyed them; that section
which does not hositate to put forward
for the rice presidency a man so insen
sihlo to propriety and decency that he
is ready at their call to flee the duties
of his high office to become a lobbyist
and a machine manager.
On the other hand, with all his lately
acquired arts of bossism. the President
is a man uncoilvictod of crime ami al¬
lied with the best elements of his party.
His supporters are led on by Mr. Blaine,
who, whatever may be his defects is too
great to bo a peacock and too broad to
bo whimsical. One eau better afford to
be kicked by Blaine than coersed by
Conkling as far as honor is concerned.
Wo offer in conclusion this reflection;
the State of New York is made too
much of in national politics. Her op¬
portunities for bossism are very great,
and the way she is at present placed in
political calculations makes her temp¬
tations to embrace them very strong
and very numerous. If New York is to
be much longer the balance of power in
national elections tho country must
prepare to bavo its greatest questions
determined by bribery and trickery.
Will the country sea it? Do tho two
great parties wish to see it? If they
iaw it would they care? Not

The company is a fraud and their pad

this by getting a Detroit paper to en¬

on in newspaper offices all over the
country though few of them dare to
tell how they^fcave been taken in. We
have no such delicacy. They got three
months advetising out of us and we
haven’t so much as a pad to show for it.
We have nothing but tho stereotype
cut,—
“ ‘Only this and nothing more.’
We are gazing sadly upon it as we write
It is tho head aud naked bust of a man

we suppose), with a pair of pads sus¬
pended over his iung3 by a ribbon

“Trade Mark’ appears and wo hope
tho trade will mark what we say. Now
that wo look at the picture more closes
ly we can see that fraud is stamped
upon overy lineamout of that face. It
is a trade mark in fact that no ono
could mistake. Singular that wo didn’t
observe it in the first place but some¬
how we never scrutinize a patent med¬
icine picturo.very closely until they fail
to pay their bill3. Then their guilty
faces stand right out so that he who
runs—their advertisement without gots
ting anything for it—may road. Sur¬
rounding the pictnre is the legend;
“Try it. It has cured many.' We tri¬
ed it. Tried it throe months—their
advertising we moan—and it cured us
of a dosiro to have atfy more ot it, “It
cures by absorption,’ says the adver¬
tisement. It does. It absorbed our
apace and returned nothing for it.
lienco our cure. “It cures all lung
diseases, all throat diseases, all breath¬
ing troubles.’ It would take considers
able money to cure ail newspapers who
are “breathing troubles’ about getting
their pay. “You can bo relieved and
cured ’ We will vouch for you boing
relieved—of any money you invest in
them—but being cured is another thing.
“Send for testimonials and our book
‘Three Millions a Year.’’’ That is a
pretty big sum three millions a year.

There are other parties that will be
shown up in tho same way, if payments
are not made in a short time. Every
newspaper man should havo tho cours
age to expose every scoundrel who does
not comply with his advertising con¬
tracts, at home and abroad, and wo will
pledge ourselves as one of tho many
newspaper men to do our part, regard¬
less of consequences. It is necossary
for oar protection, and it is a duty wo
owe to our patrons. It is a certain fact
that men who will not pay their adver¬
ting bills are frauds, and will use every
wicked device to swindle the honest
people out of their money. Lot every
uewspaper man be diligent in the ex¬
posure of all fraudulent individuals aud

Tho comet or comets, one of which

sign of war. We don’t want any
more war in ours.
Star Routes and Rings.
One of the great sensations of the
day is the discovery, ftr at least the as
sertion and publication of the fact, that
a ring of mail contractors and some
Government officials had been plunder¬
ing the Treasury for tho last four years
of immense sums qf money.
I’his publication is no news to men
in Washington who are at all cognizant
of the mannor in which business is done
here. The thing has been ip vogue for
years, though hot with the magnitude
aud grandeur which has marked its
later career.
The Star Route ring is not the only
one in existence. The investigators
have stumbled upon one of the smaller
rings in the Treasury which manipu¬
lates the furniture fund of that build¬
ing, and have devoioped facts that show
downright robbery, by collusion officials. of, aud
part, for the benefit of high
But tho rottenest of the rings have
not yet been reached. These .can bo
found round the Interior Department,
which had a professional reformer and
dealer in cant upon civil service at its
head. 'I’liteves gravitate to such a
quarter aa carrion crows do to a car¬
cass, 1’hey know where spoils can easi¬
ly be obtained, for worldly wisdom is
not wauting with the men who make
the rings.

will refuse to look through the specta¬
cles of tho men who surround him, and
are part and parcels of the rings, and
will examine the businessof the Depart¬
ment, ho will find it as much more rot
ton than any of the others as Carl

Connor Journal: It is desirable to
know why, at Albany, just about the
time of balloting for the United States
Senator, so many parties had $500 bills
and $1,000 dollar bills so handy, and
how it is that bankers, as the evidence
shows, happonned to pay these bills of
large denominations to tho parties who
are under tho suspicion of offering bribes.
Putting this and that together, the
average thinkiug mortal necessarily
concludes that a good deal of ;uoticy
has been iu circulation for tho purposo of
bribery.
