Requirements Of the Presidency.
In an article on the requirements Of the
Presidency, the New York Nation concludes
as follows:
The Presidency is not the proper school
IN which to teach man how to transact
business. No man who has not acquired a
knowledge of affairs before he reaches the
age at which the Presidency is usually at
talnable is ever likely to acquire it after
ward. A knowledge of the tricks of cleo
pioneering he may acquire, Just as any man
may acquire q knowledge Of battalion drill;
but that familiarity with the principles and
machinery OF government, and with the
vast and complex interests Of a great com
mercial society, which a President needs.
can hardly be acquired in less than a life.
time. To say this is to say that there is
something absurd in the plea that if Presi-
dent is honest he is all right. His personal
honesty is comparatively small matter.
aud it daily becomes smaller If
his habits, pursuits and experience
do not give him an all but intuitive
knowledge of the various ways in which
frauds may be perpetrated. and do not
enable him to see at q glance what it is a
rogue is driving at. We have got to pass
in our history at which the most honest of
Presidents, If he be honest only, may be
every day made the pliable and UNCONSCIOUS
tool of knaves. Let us add, too, that no
man who is not man of affairs and educa-
ton, can retain very long in the Presi-
DENTAL chair in our time, let him be never
40 honest, a very hearty horror of knavery.
The means by which knavery is disguised,
II the dexterity of kuavery in obscuring the
line at which a transaction passes from the
doubtful into the thieving phase, are mat
tiers which only practiced eyes can discover,
ana no man can ever war stoutly and per-
sIstently against what he does not see
clearly, and for what he does not hold tena-
ciousiy. No President will ever be q real
iriend OF civil service reform whose resolu-
ton Murphy or Forney has wit enough
to sickly DER" without doubt or hesita-
ton.
