Truth, Not News.


The announcement of the National
Civil Service Reform League that "the
solemn promises of the Republican plat
form of 1888 have been broken, the
voluntary pledges of the President are
untitled and the claim of the Republican
party to be distinctly the party of civil
service reform is not sustained by the
course of the Administration" contains a
number of truths, but no news. The
entire civil service of the country was
never more openly prostituted to politi-
co-personal purposes than it is now and
has been since the campaign for the
Presidential succession began. From the
highest Cabinet officer to the humblest
porter in a public building or the poor
est paid stillhouse Waterman, the whole
machine is running night and day in the
interest of Harrison's denomination.
There is supersbundance of civil ser
vice, but absolute dearth of civil service
reform.

Vanderbilt 81, Henry Flayler So,

thousands are hungry and millions
are in debt and struggling in an he

Government which has not only rem
dered these inequalities possible, but
fostered them has been, according to
the Republican notion, an exem.
plary one. Do the farmers and poor
people, for the robbery of whom the
Republican party are responsible,
think so?

AT Shelbyville, Leslie Arnett tied
a string to the neck of a bottle
which he espied protruding from A.
L. ProctOr's pocket and was just
tying the other end to a wagon
when he was discovered by Proctor.
The result was, he was obliged to
knock Proctor down with a club to
prevent being cut by him. From
which transaction one might learn
several things. First, it is not re-
spectacle for Mr.. Proctor to be
standing round with whisky bottle
protruding from his pocket; second,
the bottle was his and the string was
Arnett's. Neither had any right to
disturb the other in his possession,
and last, people should not get mad
at friendly joke that is meant in
good nature and could do no harm.

THE announcement that Mr.. Reu-

accomplished statesman of Ovens

the 18th, is sufficient to insure a

Mr.. Miller is well known by the cit
liens of Ohio county as strong man
and a candid and forcible speaker,
and his coming is anticipated with a
keen sense of pleasure.

NOTHING fixing the new Judicial
Districts has yet been done by the
Legislature. Nothing looking to the
holding of an election, which must
be done by new methods absolutely
unknown. to Kentuckians, has yet
been attempted. These are matters
of immediate and pressing impor-
lance, and yet the farmers at Frank
fort have vo+ed to come to their
farms and leave these things. wholly
unprovided for. This is not only un.
reasonable, but outrageous.

The announcement that the Leg
islature has determined to adjourn
early in June for the summer "holi-
day." strikes the thinking part of
Kentucky as a trife arbitrary, not
to say unjust. Nothing offers a
greater menace to business than a
strong element of uncertainty, and
nothing could he more uncertain
than the course which that remark
able body at Frankfort will pursue
relative to Corporations, to Revenue
and Taxation, to Education, and to
Elections. AT present, and in fact
since the adoption of the present
Constitution, nobody outside of the
State has sought investment here for
money because of this very uncer.
tainty as to what the laws under
which we must live and do business
will be. These things are hurtful
alike to all classes, and it is to cure
these very things, to fix with GER
tainty at least, even the bad laws
which we must tolerate, that we are
paying the aggregation at Frank
fort. To refuse in the face of the
peoples demand to do what they
were anxious to undertake, and to
leave the State for another half year
in this state of chaos, is an outrage
and one for which the people ofKen.
lucky will hold the specimens who
thus retard and hinder the States
prosperity, strictly responsible.

well situated for doing bushes, and
which in the natural order of things
