THE GOVERNOR.

The MoxIa Ledger processes to be
wonderfully tickled over recent edito-
rial articles in the EXAMINER, expressing
simple justice concerning Governor
Roberts and some of his acts. The
Ledger should know that the EXAMINER
has not experienced any Change of
heart 1t has always endeavored to be
Just to the Governor. 1t has also en-
deavored to be Just to the people. To
do this latter it has been compelled, in
all conscientiousness to take issue with
the executive on many measures of pub
lie policy. Neither its views nor its ut
terances have undergone modification.
Governor Roberts is an industrious old
man, and We believe honest in what he
does. But he is at the same time the
shrewdest and slyest politician Texas
has ever known. We do not consider
that his administrations have been es-
peclally detrimental to the state, and we
are quite sure they have not been especi-
ally beneficial. This is our estimate of
the Governor. If the people want him
for Il third term the ExAMINER will be
content If be is shelved We shall not
put on Grape aud conclude that the state
is bound to go TO the "demnition bow

Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, is
nember of the senate committee on civil
service reform. He has been giving the
subject intelligent and prayeriul atten-
ton. At last he has found what he be-
Iieves TO be a solution of the problem
and in the shape of resolution he has
presented il to the senate. 1t is nothing
less than an amendment to the federal
constitution that will allow the people
to elect all postmasters, internal revenue
officers, United States marshals and dis
trict attorneys. His resolution, he claims,
cmbodies reform in its most practical
shape. There is a great deal of common
sense in Mr.. Saunders suggestion. No
man will assume that the people are not
competent to elect the federal officials
above enumerated. They are not
only competent, but they would be
glad to do so. The system would have
another advantage, in that it would take
the enormous patronage power out of
publican states the marshals and post
masters would be republicans; in DEM
ocratic state they. would be democrats,
and III some states even the gr, enback-
ers would enjoy some of the federal
chicken pie. The President and con-
