Murder Trial at santa Cruz.

SANTA CRUZ, January 16th-The case of
The People VS.. Strange came up for trial 10
the Superior Court here this morning.
Strange is charged with killing man by the

terry. There is said to be a woman at the
bottom of it. No facts have yet been made
public that explain the occurrence with any
certainty. They will, however, probably be
developed as the trial proceeds. Strange is
young man of excellent reputation in that
community, and is warmly supported by his
many friends there. The following Jury has

Ciyil-Servicc Examinations.

In reforming the civil service care should
be taken not to snub the plain people, who,
after ALL have more or less to do with saying
who shall run the government machine. Very
good young men, and middle-aged ones too,
can be found we'll fitted for clerical work and
the stations to which clerkahips lead who
would not succeed at competitive c1amina-
tions in which the questions relate to his
tory, government, and physical geography.
The length of rivers and the height of
mountains, the political questions involved
in European wars, and the lines of royal suc-
cessions, the constitutionality of protective
tariff, and the desrability of constitutional
reform, are subjects on which bank cashiers,
railway superintendents, and commission
merchants are not required to be specially
well informed. These achieve great success
without the classical education which Mr.. CUR
tbs last year told the students at Browns uni
versity was proof of superiority. The bill re-
ported by Mr. KAssoN from the house commit
tee on civl-seryice reform is not marred byany
of the objections above suggested. 1t pro-
vides for proper examinations to test fitness
for admission to the SERVICE and competitive
examination for promotion. Under these the
worthy and capable may enter without col
lege diploma and the fttest will rise. The
civil-service refOrmers have offended by the
undcmocratic attempt of some Of the most
sclf-assertive among them to so exact n class
ical training as to create a privileged class
consisting of college graduates. The masses
of the people are not collegiates. They are
proud of the country's scholars, but they will
tolerate no attempt to put badge of inferi-
ority upon their sons when they have been un-
able to obtain more than an ordinary public
school education. This is not dcmagogism.
If any party should tempt public expression
upon it, by framing II system which would
make the public service more accessible to the
sons of the rich than to those of the poor, OF
equal natural gifts and fair business education,
that party would be crushed like an egg-shell
as it ought to be, Character, capability, in
dustry, fidelity, and good address should he
required of all who enter and remain in the
governments employ. Any examination not
necessary to test these qualifications tends tC
create class distinctions which are irritating
and un-American.

Nlhtlinm I'm View York.

1t is announced that JOHANN MosT and
JUsTUs SCHwAB intend to issue nihilist
newspaper from an Office in New York. If
Mcssrs. Mosr and ScuwAB desire to spend their
money in that sort of amusement, they have
an unquestionable right to do it, and nobody
can object so long as they keep upon the
hither side of the line that separates liberty
from license. But if they think there is
either desire or market of any kind for
such a paper anywhere in this country, they
labor under mistaken notion that will cost
them q lot of cash. Those of the popu-
ation of the United States who hold
nihilistic principles and yet have been
able to keep out of the penitentiaries
are few in number and cannot read. TO
make readers of them would require an
amount and variety of educational effort
for which the beer trade has untitled Mr..
SCHwAB about as completely as the bomb
shell business has untitled Mr.. MosT. More
over, as soon as a nihilst learns to read he
begins to find out what this country is about;
and that discovery would destroy his disposi-
tion to hear anything more about nihilism.
As to damage to be done in this country by
such paper, there is no occasion to think for
an instant. Powder burned in the open air
makes little more than q bad smell and u
smudge, which work no uncomfortable incon-
vehicnco to any one. There is no repression
here, no conining of forces that could make
such a proceeding explosive or dangerous.
But in another view there is reason for
rcprehending nihilistic effort that is directed,
though never so harmlessly, toward Europe.
This country has already submitted to the
odium of having permitted to go unrebuked
the incendiarism of O'DoNovAN ROSA, who
openly boosted of having destroyed the Brit
ish ship DOtercl with nearly four hundred
men aboard. We want no more such reason
for being ashamed of ourselves. 1t isan abuse
to our national good nature to take shelter be-
hind it for the avowed purpose of annoying
other nations. If that is what Messrs. Mosr
and SCHwAB have in their dynamic and un-
easy minds, they had better go slow, lest they
run afoul of consequences unpleasant to them
selves.

A New Interstate Commerce Bill.

Representative McCoid's bill to provide for
the regulation of commerce by railroads
among the states, and for the protection of
the people from extortion and oppression, and
for the protection of capital invested in rail-
ways from maladministration and railway
wars, provides that each railway shall on the
1st of March of each year, publish a schedule
Of rates, Fifty per cent Of the schedule of
rates shall be the minimum Of rates, and 80
per cent. above the maximum, allowed to be
charged in any case. These rates are to he
charge for loading mileag" ate for hauling,
and are to be fixed upon the principle of inn
partial service for fair corporate profit from
honest public service, Consolidating, dis

punished; a committee of nine members one
from each judicial circuit of the United States
shall be appointed by each congress to super

The Annual CroaIS.

The people who have an annual fit of blues
about this season of the year, BECAUSE of the
stringency of the money market, are making
the air cerulean with their doleful predictions
of impending disaster. There is a scarcity of
money and there are some Interruptions of
trade channels, but there is nothing in the
situation iustifying the gloom of the panic
breeders This is the season of the year when
money is always in the sharpcst demand, but
1t is to be remembered that we are close to the
period when an easy money market succeeds
the previous activity. Settling day is near at
hand; annual and semi-annual dividends and
interest payments will set afoat many mil
lions of currency, and unless there is adverse
legislation by congress there is no good reason
apparent why the business of the new year
should not open under favorable auspices and
with every assurance of healthful perma-
nrnCy.

DIDN'T BEGIN TO EXPECT IT.
The Chronicle.


No event in Washington journalism could
have been more gratifying to the Chronicle
than what was evidenced to our public last
Monday. The change in THE REPUBLICAN
management had been rumored and outlined.
Hon. Frank Hatton, whose reputation in
connection with the Burlington (lOwa) Hdpk-
enc was an enviable one, and whose sprightly
conduct of the high office he holds first as
sstant postmaster-gcnGral has reflected honor
upon him, was announced in the last issue of
the Chronicle as the coming managing editor,
with Mr.. Snowden as news editor. The first
number under the new regime appeared on
Monday, the 4th instant. Having had
familiarity for a score of years with Washing
ton daily papers, we confess to Il most agree
able surprise. We were not anticipating a
lively, fearless independent, da3hing, slash
ing, newsy daily having all the distinguish
ing marks of what is known by the term
metropolitan journalism. We have no fear
of contradiction when we say ii UdS the bright
est and best daily paper orer issued IN Washington
ciiy! The Post predicts failure in The RE-
PUBLICANs effort to publish 'an eight-pagc
paper for four-page constituency" Admit
ting the aptness and originality of that de-
seriptivc phrase, we suggest to the Post crOaker
that perhaps this nerve of the new REPUBLI-
CAN gentlemen will encourage this con-
stituency and nurture it in growth to an
oight-page constituency. While the change
was being so thoroughly made il is to be
regretted that the superfiuous "NatiOnal"
had not been eliminated. WASHINGTON
DAILY REPUBLICAN would have been good.

the paper; but it is pleasure to turn to its
editorial page and not see column after col
umn about Malone and the bourbons. Mr..
Hatton, the new manager of THE REPUBLr-
CAN, is II little too much of stalwart, but he
makes the best first assistant postmaster-gen-
eral we have ever had, and he has shown that
he knows how to run newspaper. The good
nature shown in the editorial columns of THE

strong points lose nothing of their strength

The Washington NATIONAL REPUBLICAN

has become the accepted thing among progress
sive newspapers in this country. 1t is now in

of new and vigorous blood, and gives promise
to really fill long-felt want at the national

editor, and his associates are to be congratu-

iO-AHEAD JOURNALISM.


On Monday last The NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN, of Washington, d. G., signaized its
regular issue by appearing in an enlarged
form-a quarto instead Of a folio-with Frank
Hatton as its editor, although the name of
that gentleman is not therein mentioned. In
an announcement of change of management,
manifcstly from the pen of Mr.. Hatton, the
platform of THE REPUBLICAN, is briefly indi-
Gated. 1t comprehends vigorous republicanism
and thoroughly gO-ahead journalism. The
promise is that THE REPUBLICAN will hence
forth take rank with the leading journals of
the country-a pledge which under any hand
than that of Frank Hatton might well be
deemed rash and impossible Of realization in
Washington by any possibility. But Mr..
Hatton is beyond question one of the most
energetic, tirelcss, spirited, and breezy editors
known to the American press, and under his
inspiring direction THE NATIONAL REPUB-
LICAN WILL it is very certain, present to the
dcnizens of the national capital and to the
outside world such newspaper as has in its
enterprise, ability, and force never before been
known in Washington.

The Veto Power.

Our esteemed contemporary of the demo-
cratic persuasion discourses thus petuantly
of n power given the president by the Gonsti-
tuition:
The argument that supports the veto power
would be equally applicable If employed IN sup
port Of monarchical government.
Tho argument that opposes the veto power
would be equally applicable if employed in
opposition to the form of government under
which we live, and of which the veto power
is and has always been part.
Our herctical neighbor continues:
FIT is safer TO depend on one man than on a
majority Of the peoples representatives, the
fathers made a mistake in our governmental ma
chinery when they provided for Legislative de.
partmont,
If it BIO safer to depend on a majority of the
peoples representatives. unrostrained by the
veto power of the President, than ON bare
majority without such restraint, then The
/ fathers made a mistake in our governmental
machinery when they provided for an fxecu-
| tive veto.
Concluding, the democratic editor says:
But this monarchical prerogative will be less vio-
| latiye Of common sense when.i II shall have been
/ 50 modified that one provision of Il bill may be
killed without staying all the rest.
1t might be wise to SO amend the cdnstitu-
tion as to allow items of appropriation to he
separated, and some approved and otlprs We
toed in the same bill, but it would be an en-
largement rather than limitation uIbn tho
veto power to allow "one provision ofR BILL
other than mere item of appropriation to b'
"kiuod without Staying the rest" Such
power would enable the President toFholly
change the object and effect ofa bill, portion
of which, taken separately, might be the yer!
opposite of the bill as a whole. For example
