The Debate Begun.

The long.eXpected Senate debate "about
the papers" was opened yesterday by Mr.
Edmunds in an argument which we believe
to be simply unanswerable. 1t is wall Of
granite founded on bed rock.
The senator stated the Republican posi-
ton so clearly that the average intelligence
can readily grasp it. 1t is in harmony not
only with precedents but with common
sense, common justice, and decent bust
ness methods; and 1t is the only view of the
subject which can be made to satisfy the
manifest equities and palpable proprieties
Of the case
Mr.. Pugh has announced his readiness to
answer the senator from Vermont, and when
he has concluded his speech he will, doubt
less, think he has done so. But so long
as II is impossible for truth to be changed
into error the argument of Mr.. Edmunds
will stand.
Mr., Pugh and his democratic associates
may talk till they get bewildered in the
maZes of their own sophistries, as often
happens to strong men trying to make the
worse appear the better cause, but when all
their talking is done the Republican posi-
ton will not even have been mcnaced,

There are two more propositions for the

Tho Public Schools,

The District commissioners have quite
enough to occupy their time without at
tempting the details of school management.
The influence Of the retired commissioner,
Edmonds, may extend to the new members
of the board, as 1t already has to Commits
sioner Webb.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN desires to
impress upon their minds that the recent
course of the board in relation to the
schools is not approved, but is almost uni
veIsally regarded as injurious to our pub
lie school system.
If the commissioners insist on managing
all the details of all the departments Of
District government, the board should be
enlarged to az least seven members.

THERE are Democratic newspapers which
occasionally treat themselves to the luxury
OF speaking the truth about the Demo-

Under these circumstances II was necessary

formulate charges against the Republican

IL is said that voluminous mass Of stun

now on file in the departments. 1t is this

desires TO examiner That is correct, 50
far as It goes, but the Postoflice Depart
ment is not the only department whose
files contain trumped-up charges. Some of
the basest calumnies ever perpetrated-in-
famous accusations against honorable men
are admitted by well-informed Democrats
to have been used to secure removals. If

such means are consented TO by the SEN

The Secretary of the Interior has rejected
the selection of some 1900 acres of land made
by the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba
Railway Company, within Dakota territory.
The selections made between the six and ten.

viOusly been selected as indemnity by the North

Thercarc three things, and three things only
which make up the Republican policy, upon

things in which the Republican party must
live or bear no life; three things inextricably
