The New York Tribune says
politicians who are searching for
motives for the appointmet OF Mr.
Hale Postmaster-General may per-
haps get a valuable hint by consid-
ering the situation of his father-in-
law. In beliefs, mental traits and
personal tastes, Mr.. Chambers and
the President are congenial, and
the President is known to have
long looked upon the Michigan
Senator as one of his truest friends.
Mr.. Chambers term is about to
expire, and his reelection has not
been considered a matter of abso-
lutte certainty. Doubtless the
President thought he could in no
way render such effective assistance
as by placing his son-in-law in pos
session of the patronage OF the
Postoffice Department. This may
not explain the mysterious problem,
but it is at least suggestion which
the spectators will think it worth
Willie to turn over and look at it
from different sides.

has been consistent with his decla-
ration. Lately, however, there
have been alarming symptoms OF q
departure from this safe policy,
and we attribute it to an atmos-
phere created by sycophants or
designing knaves, for the purpose
of decciving him and helping them
selves. This idea must have &C.
CARED TO the President on Tues
day evening. When informed that
only ak Senators voted for Shep-
herds confirmation, and when he
heard the names of those six, he
must have asked himself, "Who or
where are my friends 2" The best
friends of the President are those
Republican Senators who stood up
like men and denounced the nomi-
nation and voted with an emphasis
against it. The thirty-Six Senators
who voted nay uttered the voice OF
the people. That was warning
voice, too; and we feel confident
that we represent the great mass
of the people Of the United States
in saying that the President, in up
holding or seeming to uphold such
men as Shepherd, is running upon
rocks that, if not avoided, will de-
stroy his reputation. The Senate
has saved the country from the
Shepherd disgrace; but it cannot
save the President unless the Pres
ident decides not to take another
step toward the breakers which,
even now, threatens his destruction.
The real friends of the President
and of the Republican party,
should speak plainly to him on this
subject. They should see that he
is not surrounded and controlled
by sycophants who would concea!
rather than make known disagree
able truths, to the exclusion OF
wiser and better men.

1t is very natural with such a
record as it has in the matter OF
civil service reform that the Re-
publican party should fail to recog-
nize the genuine article; and it is
not at all surprising therefore that
the Trays, Blanches and Sweet
hearts of the administration press
should howl themselves hoarse over
the publication which the State
Government of New Hampshire
has just undergone at the hands OF
its newly chosen Legislature. In
the blindness Of their subservient
craftsmanship these administration
journals see only that Republican
officeholders have been removed
and their places filled with Demo
Gratis, and do not see that this il
in itself reform of the civil ser
vice. In the light of the expert
ence which the country has hat
of the Republican oficeholders dur
ing the past twelve years, it is SAT
to say that while their removal j
not all that is requisite to a thor
ough reform of the civil service
it is one of the necessary steps i
the process.
