Deserved Tribute to Postmaster General
Hatton.

Chicago News tDem.)
The appointment of Frank Hatton to the post
master generalship has been expected. and will
be generally approved now that it is finally ac-
complished. There is none to doubt Mr. Hat
tons loyalty to the Republican party; in fact, his
partisanship has always stood in the way of his
political advancement But he has demonstrate
ed he is somewhat more than partisan his ad-
minisiration of his official duties has been ener-
getic and sagacious. Very many OF the improve
inents in the mail service of the country are
due to Mr.. Hattons discriminating zeal in push
ing the interests of the postoffice department,
and to him is the country largely indebted for
the increased facilities ana prosperous condition
OF this branch or the public service. Mr.. Hat
toms promotion to a cabinet position may there
fore be regarded not only as a reward for dis
tinguished services, but also an assurance
that the affairs Of the Dostoffce Department will
be conducted for the next five months with the
same prudence, integrity, and zeal which have
characterized their administration since Presi-
dent ArthUr's Inauguration.
