NOT HOPEFUL FOR QUINN.
1t Looks as if the Democrats Would
Get Him Out.

From letter written within the past
few days by Senator George c. Perkins at
Washington. and just received by John c.
Quinn, Collector of Internal Revenue, it
begins to look as IL the Democrats would
carry the day against him.
No answer las yet been received by
Senator Perkins to the letter he addressed
to Secretary Carlisle. The Senator had a
conversation with Congressman Mcguire,
who said he had no charge against Mr..
Quinn, so far as his office was concerned.
but he accused him of violating the civil
service regulations during the last cam
paign in using the machinery of his de-
partment against Mr.. Mcguire. 1t was
not to Mr.. Quinn's personal preference for
another candidate that Mr. Mcguire OBJ
jected, but 1t was to his abuse of his priv
liege In actively working against him while
holding Government position, that he
was opposed.
Senator Perkins writes that Republican
Senators do not have much influence with
the present administration, and that the
Democrats will probably carry the day.
Mr.. Mcguire has threatened to have Mr..
Quinn'S successor appointed Immediately.

POLITICS AS A CALLING.

| Most young lawyers in this State look
| forward 10 politics as the natural culmi-
nation of their career. When they attract
attention by the ability with which they con-
duct case. they ch erish visions of nomi-
nations to the Legislature or to Congress,
with a shadOwy picture of the Senate In
the ultimate future. If these young men
would read the paper OF ex-senator George
(. Edmunds on politics as a career. they
might revise their views with advantage
TO themselves.
Every American citiZsn ought to be a
politician in the sense that he should un-
derstand politics, and fulfill his civic duties,
especially the duty of voting. But this is
very different thing from taking up pOfT-
ties as a profession. The first duty of
every man is to his family. His duty 10
his country or his party comes afterward.
Now, every one who has engaged in poll
ties will testify that the poorest possible
way of making a living is to rely upon
Office to furnish it. Terms of Office mature.
A cry arises for rotation. Thus the very
best officials are certain after given term
of service TO be thrown out and left penni-
less on the mercy of the world. Months,
years may elapse. before they get an other
berth. In the mean time they have unfit
ted themselves for the pursuit of other
callings. and have severed their ties
with those who might have helped
them. Mr.. Edmunds we'll says that no
man of sense will devote himself to poll
tics TIL his livelihood is assured.
This. however, is not the only drawback
to the profession of politics. Every pro-
fessional politician wants 10 belong to the
party in power. But public opinion fuc-
tuates. The people sometimes trust to
one party and sometimes to another. To
the professional politician the temptation
is strong TO change with the people for the
sake of office and pelf. If he yields to it
he sacrifices his principles TO his Imme-
diate interest and becomes mere dema-
gogue. That is the fate of most profess
sional politicians. They are Democrats
o-day. Republicans tomorrow; yester-
day they were Populists. People gradually
take their measure and lose their respect
for them. That is the reason why the
roadside is bordered with the wrecks Of
politicians who were in their day men Of
ability and promi.e.
No young lawyer who can make living
at his profession will better himself by
going into politics a calling. When he
has accumulated competency he may do
as be pleases. But until then the closer
he sticks to his cases and the less he has
to do with political parties the less sorrow
he will sup by and by.
