BUSINESS SUITS-
We liave somewhere in the region of one hundred styles of business
suits new ready te put en. A list of thcin would be the dullest of read
ing ; and yet we want you te knew substantially what they are iike.
The lowest price is $8.50, and the highest is $20. They are all of
wool. $8.50 is very little te get all-wool cloths, sponging, cutting, trim
ming, making, watching, handling, rent, book-keeping, advertising and
selling, out of ; but we manage te de it by dividing the costs among se
many of you that ene hardly feels his share at all ; he pays for materials
and work, and very little mere.
We'll take another day for the rest ; but you may as well come and
see new as later. Sceing is better than reading.

Washington Correspondence X. Y. Herald.
Mr. Jehn B. Miner was interested in
1880 in about ninety contracts. He had
the advantage of bciuij au intimate friend
of Mr. Dersey.-at whose house Mr. Doisey
once testified Mr. Miner used commonly te
step when he was in Washington. In
March, 1878, Mr. Miner was seluckv as te
et the contract en the Bismarck aud
Tongue river route, 310 miles, one trip a
week and 104 hours schedule time, for
$2,350 per annum. He began his service
en the 1st of July, 1878. In December,
1878, only five months later, he was
se fortunate as te be ordered te run three
trips a week at 63 heu rs.instead instead of
104 per trip, and having contracted erig
inally for $2,350 per year he new had
added te this the neat sum of $32,050 per
year for four years, of ceutm.-. In August
of the next year he get an order te make
six trips a week, and for this he get $35,-
uuu mere.
New, in getting the first increase, the
following affidavit was niade by Mr.
Miner :
Washington, D. (J., Sept. 20, 1878.

master General, dr. :

men and 150 annuals. Respectfully,

I, Jehn R. Miner, being duly sworn, de
pose and say that the above statement is
trui, as I verily believe.
Jens R. Miner.
Sworn and subscribed before me, this
4th day of October, 1878.
V. T. Kkli.oei;,
(.Seal. " Notary Public.
On such affidavits, made by the men
who were most interested in putting up
the price of service, the inquiry in the
posteflice depaitmcnt shows the estimates
for increase were based. Miner, it will be
observed, took the original contract for
$2,350 per year, and within a year had it
raised te $70,000 per year, and this for four
years.
Net long age two of the ring of contrac
tors quarreled and went te law. The case
is Huntley against Huntley, and S. S.
Huntley gave te the court under oath
some facts which .show hew it was done,
hew contracts were taken at liiineusly
low prices en the certainty that they
would be " raised." The following ex
tracts from his sworn statement will make
plain some of the mysteries of the system
atic raising of contracts by Mr. Brady :
i nc nrsc tning was te make out out
bids and then te engage our friends te bid
for us. and then find men West te put in
bids. We were awarded in all our bids only
four or five routes, and I think C. C.
Huntley wasawaided two routes, all that
we started with in 1874. With these we
started with in 1874 it was my business,
if we had them once a week, te get them
put in three times a week, and if three
times a week te get them put le six or
seven times a week, and if tiiey were
twenty miles long te get the service in
creased. Sometimes routes were awarded
te ether men. 1 watched my opportunity
in Washington when it should be the best
time for a failure, and also the postmaster
en the route, and at the proper time I saw
they failed. A part of my business then
was te secure the geed will and the ac
ceptance, and the withdiawal and power
of attorney of each one of the bidders
above the failing bidder, and then te watch
in the department and te accept or decline
this route as I saw fit en any one of these
names. Then, having rcceided the route
by representing it with power of attorney,
it was my duty te get it worked up in the
same way as our ether routes by increase
of service or extension of route. Some
times, having a contract that was at a
losing figure, I would get if. curtailed or
service discontinued."
This describes a regular conspiracy, and
a conspiracy which plainly could net be
carried en without the help of important
persons in and out of the pohtellice department.
Huntley described, always under oath,
hew a cenract was "raised" from $2,000
te $7,000 :
"I will give one reute, Ne. 41,132, as an
illustration. There were twenty-six bills
en this teute, the highest $7,000, and
awarded te the lowest at $1,1100. We car
ried this low man and took the mail pay
at $1,990 per annum, and it cost us $3,000
te run it. lie at the end et a few months
failed and the route was then offered te
tbvncxt bidder for $2,000, and the next
at $2,199, and the next at $2,23G, the next
at $2,333, and the next one, which was
myself. S. S. Huntley, at $2,440 ; the next
at $2,500, the next at $2,700, the next at
$2,900, the next at $2,940, the next at.
$3,000 and the next at $3,285.
"1 interviewed all these different men,
received from each his acceptance and his
declination, also his power of attorney, and
in some- instances their names en blank
paper and had control of them myself in
Washington, aud at the proper time I de
clined every offer. It then had te be
marked up still further toward the $7,000
or be readvertiscd. I took the chances of
having it marked still further up, which I
did. The first ene was C. C. nuntley,
$3,500, which I accepted for him. I then
sub.et the route ; then had it extended,
and then had it increased and the mail
pay raised te about $13,000 per annum,
Riving us a profit of about $0,000 per au
num." A profit of $6,000 a year en what begau
as a miserable $1,000 a year is net bad.
But peer lluutley went en te explain that
it was net all resewatcr for him. He had,
he says, te be "very friendly with heads
of departments" and ethers, and he swears
that this friendship was se expensive an
affair that covering all the routes
he controlled it cost him "about
$24,000 " te be en sufficiently geed terms
with " heads of departments, clerks, mes-
Congress whom we have te treat in the
same manner, and te whom I occasionally
send theatre tickets, and always, when'l
ask iaveis, I generally send carriages for
them aud ask them te de certain things in
the department."
Jehn R. Miner, being Mr. Dersey's
friend and staying usually at his house,
perhaps had many of these expenses saved
him. At any rate, according te his own
testimony, he had much less trouble te
get one of his numerous routes raised from
$3,3o0teto $70,000 per anuum, and for
four years at that, than Huntley describes
se ingenuously. Then again Huntley gives
allowing description of his treatment of
what he tails "the press of Washington,"
te whom he says he gave dinners costing
from $10 te $50 per head. "As far as the
press in Washington is concerned, during
the investigations, which are trenerallv
every year, te keep them friendly, se far
as I am concerned, I have alwavs been
very friendly toward them in the same
ufanner, and very often giving them din
ners costing from $10 te $50 each."
Finally come " governors and United
States senators." Huntley swears : "I
found our governor from .Mentana came
en te Washington and staved at the Ar
lingten for about a week, and I treated
him as nice as possible, and when he went
away 1 paid his bill. The governor of
Wyoming territory came en and I treated
him in the same way.
" Besides all of" these small presents
paid te pretty nearly everybody in Wash
ingten, i guess, arc included all of my
hotel expenses, traveling and slecping
cars, fce,. and altogether I think it must
have cost me out of money charged te me
about $30,00. I can enlv arrive at about
what it cost liuctuse I knew what I re
ceived for the four years, and I knew
what I have left, and subtracting that
fiem what what I have left I knew 1 must
have spent for this business $30,000, and I
ought te have put in $25,000, aud I only
find $15,000 charged'; that is, for every
body's sroed will, from the messenger In
the department te a United States sena
ter and governor of a territory."
A Slur tSouie in Ohie.
Cincinnati Commercial, April 2".
We happen te knew something about
the star route system in Ohie, and propose
te slate a typical case. The distance from
Athens te l'oinerey is about 28 miles.
Something ever four years age the con
tract for a daily mail between these places
was te let for the period of Iho adminis
tratien of Hayes. There were several
bidders one as high as $2,500 a year, and
the lowest was $300 a vcar.
lhe si'ivice was worth mere than $900,
and a Mr. Pester, of Athens, who was
next te lowest, proposed te de the work
for $1,900 a year. The nine-hundrcd-del
lar fellow get it, and turned out te be ene
Zimri McDonald, "who is a hanger-en
around the office of the postmaster gen
eral. He hired a man te carry the mail,
agreeing te p.iy $1, 100 a year, or te make
a less of $500 a year. Then at a time that
must have been duly understood by
ethcis :ntcrcM,cd, he threw it down that
is, abandoned the contract. Here was a
vacancy, aud that was what" was wanted.
lhat was what the ninc-huudred-dellar
bid was put in for.
The law required that the next highest
bidder, Mr Fester, of Athens, whose bid
was $1,000, should be notified, It was the
duty of .Mr. Brady, second assistant post
master general, te have him notified.
Nothing of the kind was done. The mat
ter was attended te in a stealthy manner,
and the first thing known about it Cel.
A. E. Boeuo had the contract at $1,500 a
year, or $-j,uoe mere than Znnri McDon
ald bid for it.
New this is a transaction that bears all
the characteristic marks of rascality.
There was the responsible tool of the
schemers who put in the $900 bid, about
50 per cent, lower than anyone was ex
pected te go. He get the job, of course.
abandoned it according te agreement, no
doubt, and (Jel. Beeno stepped in aud get
something mere than twice as much as the
jiiL was worth, leaving $3,000 a year at
least profit te be divided and applied te all
geed weiks. 1
but we have something mere modern
for the consideration of Postmaster (Jeu
eial James something that has happened
since he was in office." A daily mail has
been carried between Marietta and Zanes
ville, and the cost of the scrvice has been
C-3,090 a year. Quite recently an arrange
JiHiil has been made, for which there is no
necessity, te double the. :;ervicc between
McCeuucKsville ami Znucsville, or the up
per end of the $3,000 route.
by Mr. Hayes. He was encouraged and
patted en the back in the face of the
developments made by the inquiry, which
showed that he had net only violated- the
law above quoted, but ethers, and system
atically. If Mr. Hayes bad net protected
the star route jobbing it would hare been
exposed and reformed and the jobbers
brought te justice last year.
Who Paid for the Sinner?
Fer a long time after the dinner te Der-
sey, in New Yerk, complimentary te his
management of the Indiana corruption
i una naa ueen eaten, and the proceedings
discussed in the press, no light could be

fair. It was only the ether day that the
matter was finally adjusted by an appeal
te the following gentlemen, who having
been " roped in" as an innocent commit
tee te give the affair respectability, made
up their minds te be done with it and sub
mitted te an assessment for that purpose
