THE BEST EVER PUBLISHED AT THE CAPITAL.
Kansas City Journal

THE MATT, NAL REPUBLICAN of December
under now management. Hon. Frank Hatton,
late of the Burlington Halckeye, and now first
assistant postmasSer Ser-general, assumes the busi-
ness management,Qnd Mr.. G. A, Snowden, late
of Chicago, becomes managing editor, with
well-selected corps oNpssistants. Both Hatton
and snowdcn have aNlieved wide reputation
as enterprising, wide-dwake journalists, and
wo are confident they will make what has
never yet been published tp the national cap
itl--a first-cnss newspapch In the columns
of the number before us there is ample evil
dence that thorough journalistic hands have
control. First it has the news; then the
editorial columns express opinions on impor-
tant questions, while the bright and sparkling
paragraph is not lacking. There is little doubt
The REPUBLICAN will be a power under the
new management.

Their Hats.

Afterthe adjournment of the special sessions
court yesterday Justice Smith went up Centre
street and Justice Kilbrcth down.
Justice Smith kept shaking his head like a
man who had lost confidence in his hat. JUS
tice Kilbrcth held on to his hat, which was
unusually well polished, but didn't seem to
fit him.
At 3 o'clock Justice Kilbreth called upon
Justice Smith at the Essex Market police
court.

"Thanks," replied Justice Kilberth, L

from the criminals themselves. Evidence Of

n clue to be followed up, and the committee of

thorough investigation in order that if the de-

Couldn't Carry kentucky on 1t.

CinctRnatf Enquirer iIashington Correspondence
The civil service reform committee is lust
new very seriously debating the question
whether it will not be wisdom to accept the
Pendleton bill, and thus give the democrats
an opportunity to show their hands, If they
do it will he for the purpose of embarrassing
the democrats, and making il appear that
there is no sincerity in the professed desire to
reform the service, In such event Mn Pendle-
ton must either abandon his bill or declare
that, in case of democratic success, the army
of oihce-holders must not he disturbed. The
democratic party on such a platform could
not carry Kentucky.

SENATOR EDMUNDs has concluded that the
anxiety of Mr.. BECK for an an old-time dem
ocratc investigation cannot be appeased. He
so told the senate last Saturday, and gave such
potent reasons that it is probable that the SEN
ator from Kentucky will cease his impor-
tunitics. The house of representatives under
took to compel one HALLEr KILBoURN to tes-
tify and expose his books and papers to the
scrutiny of the house in n certain case n few
years since, and Mr., KILBoURN was awarded
100000 damages by the supreme court. Does
Mr. BECK want to award Il like amount to any
body else?

ALI the oorrupting influences Of power, all that
tempts the greed, the avarice, the meannoss of
men, has been OH the republican side for more
than twenty.one years. Sacrifices of ambition to
principle, and ali the influences best calculated to
refine and exalt character have been on the dem
ocratio side.
Looking at these fncts the candid mind finds no
difficulty in explaining the difference in the moral
attitudes of the two parties 10. day. Washington
Post,
All persons who go at large are subjected to
the corrupting influences first above recited.
AS to the sacrifices that have been made to
principle by the democratic party, they are
such as are recorded in their obstinate resist
anco to every republican measure until it be-
came a law, and their fulsome eulogy and
secret resistance to it ever afterward. The
difference in the moral attitudes, &C., is plainly
disccrnible.

CONCERNING the civil service Mr.. PENDLE-
TON is positive that a competitive eXamina-

practical experience in such matters knows
that competitive examinations are delusion
and a snare. Many an excellent business man
cannot pass a school examination as well as a
freshman or sophomore just out of college,
but he can do more and better work for him
self and for the government than score of

THERE is great deal more work mapped
