sLIGHTLY TTREsONE.

The Topeka Journal devoted half 3
column of ifs space on Saturday, under
the above heal, TO an apology for Its hnd-
ing fault and, as It expresses it. "mskinR
sport of ClevelAud's great adjustable and
double back action civil service reform
machine" for appointing Moonlight and
other RAnssns to remunerative offices.
This Is as II should be. and we were sAtis-
ned the Journal would do the right thing
when the error Of its ways was pointed out
to 1t by The NEWS. But there is no me-
cessitY for the Journal going down into the
valley of humiliation so far, or indulging
IN sack cloth and ashes to such an unlim-
tied extent, as 1t does, simply because it
has made q mistake aud abused Moon
light, Robinson and all other democrats
because, forsooth, they are Kansas demo-
Gratis and were appointed to office by
Cleveland. Neither is there any necessity
that it should feel spiteful toward The
News because it acted the part Of monitor.
and pointed out the path in which IL
should walk if II wished TO stand we'll in
the eyes of, not only Kansas democrats,
but Kansas republicans as we'll. Never
theless. It does look as if 6 paper was .
little unreliable that would within nifty
hours express itself edltorislly at such
variance with itself as the following ex-
tracts would show It to have done:
