THE Philadelphia Telegraph, which is an
Independent Republican paper, and was op-
posed to the nomination of Mr.. Blaine, reads
a lesson to several of its contemporaries which,
with greater pretensions to party fealty, have
yet petulantly resolved to abandon their al
legged principles merely because they could
not name the men who should carry them out.
The Telegraph does not bolt the ticket, but
speaks for itself and thousands of voters who
would have preferred another candidate when
it says that they (the paper and the voters)
twill support the ticket, not because of its
personnel, but because of the principles which
the candidates represent, and because they be-
is rather than to surrender the administration
of the national government into the control
of the Democrats, whose policy both upon
the subject of the finances and the tariff is
such as to render the triumph of that party
at the polls in November thing to be de-
plored and, if possible, prevented" The Tel
egraph admirably states the case further when
it says:
HIf Mr.. Blaine should prove unworthy of
or unfit for the honors and responsibilities of
the presidency, his term will last but four
years; if he should be defeated, the term of
Democratic free trade and vagarious finance
might be perpetuated much longer, as it is
difficult to oust a party from power newly
gained The danger that the Democrats
would destroy the national banking system,
food the land with silver or even greenback
currency, and reduce the tariff to the revenue
only point or below the point of protection, is
a very great one-one that menaces our in
dustries and that jecpardizes the profits of
capital and the earnings of labor"
The disaffected Republicans who present
to the country the appearance of circumvented
political wire workers-the class of all others
they profess to despise-rather than the repre-
sentatives of any definite principles will, when
their wrath is cooled, probably reach the con.
clusion above set forth, and will each vainly
wish that he had not been in such haste to
commit himself The party is not only greater
than any men who may be made its candi-
dates, but is also greater than any handful of
men who propose to manage it according to
their own plans which are not, the 'reform-
ers" to the contrary Notwithstanding, alto
gether righteous and without guile.

THE case of the New York dry goods clerk who
appropriated $1,000 of his employers money
may cause merchants to ask themselves, not
whether it is wise to put in twelvedollar place
a man with twenty dollar tastes, but
whether it is reasonable, as the world goes, to
expect honesty, ability, faithfulness and all the
other virtues for twelve dollars a week. All
these ought to be given along with the time and
attention of the clerk, and they usually are, but
it is unfortunately the case that small salary

fare as social beings but members of a ma
ton and of families whose liberty of ex-
change is held in subordination to the no.
bier ends of the home and high character.
Vermont denied the right of states, as
members of the union, to u liberty of con-
tract that allowed them to set up for them
selves. She insisted that our union was not
a confederacy, but n nation. And yet her
Legislators propose to allow this principle
which. by the way, began to be applied in
Mississippi-to root itself in the familylM 1t
may be entirely safe, but IL is an expert
ment that needs long trial to test fairly
longer, the cautious think, than it has had
in modern times. The later writer's on the
historical development of law point out the
causes of the movement as indicated above,
and speak strongly of its bearings in just
the direction now pointed out The evils
of the common law system are recognized.
That which made two one, and that one
the husband is harsh in its practical work
ing and unjust in principle The absolute
individual ownership of the property by the
husband often works wrong to the wife and
children and needs to be remedied. But the
proposed measure of making the husband
and wife absolutely Independent, or nearly
so, is not necessarily the only or the best
way to mend matters. Even then we get
only an incompleted individualism; for the
children are left out in the cold or to the
tender mercies of two separate interests.
Possibly law may find il practicable to pro-
vide for ttc0 in one, that one being neither
one of the two, but something more than
either-the family. This was the method
of society that is older than the common
law. But it passed out of use, because the
artificial family with which it co-existed
yielded to the social development of the
times and persisted in sheer individualism
under movement that is now, in different
form, repeating itself and which presses
hard against the natural family of modern
time. The study of legal institutions by the
historical and comparative methods, which
has really been begun within twenty-five
years in a scientific way, has brought to
light a great deal of information on this
whole subject, and the drift of the result is
strongly towards modifying those theories
of the political economists and Others
whose speculations begin with the assump-
ton that we are dealing with separate indi-
viduals in our problems of practical legisla-
ton. The ablest students in this depart
ment have shown the need of greater care
in all new legislation in behalf of woman,
especially in the matter of property, until
we are little surer of our ground. And
as limited above, the question is fair one
at least, whether the proposed legislation is
not alien to the position of Vermont on the
general subject of liberty of contract as re-
lated to property and the state SPECTATOR.
