The force OF any legislation is not in
the letter but in the spirit. The most
elaborate statutes fail when not based on
reason. the loosest enactment that en-
bodies a vital principle gains strength
with time till it becomes self-enforcing,
1t has been so with the civil service act.
Congress never expected it to reach very
far. 1t was not made obligatory and
at first it had very limited application.
But it created a system that was recog-
nized as sound, and gradually II has been

lands successive orders extending the
civil service system, though they have
effected practical revolution in politics,

THE MKINLEY HURRICANE.

This IS an age OF sudden and astound-
fng political mutations, but all the sudden
political revolutions Of modern times
uax<r be entirely eelipsed II the nominal
zion OF Mckinley is TO be defeated in the
St Louis convention. When he broke
the lines OF the field combination by
swinging Vermont out of the Reed col
ann and capturing Illinois from her
favorite son. it was evident that a Nc
Kinley tidal wave was sweeping over
the country; and now that California,
Michigan and Indiana have fallen into
the Mckinley line, political science is
not equal TO the task OF turning back
the Mckinley hurricane before the meet
ing Of the national convention.
The last stand made by the opponents
OF Mckinley was in Indiana, and while
Harrison did not permit the use Of his
name as a candidate. the opposition TO
Mckinley had all the advantages OF his
personal strength to prevent the absolute
control OF the state delegation in the m
terest Of Mckinley. With al the re-
spect that Is felt for Harrison in his own
state. aud with the united and earnest
Efforts OF his special friends TO stem the
Mckinley tide, the convention gave posi-
tive lnstruc tons Tor Mckinley with a
yelL and the delegation viii De solid for
the Ohio candidate from first TO last
The Mckinley battle Is without exam
pie In our political history. The party
was defeated by a million majority i'm
mediately after the passage OF the Nc
Kinley tariff, with that measure as the
issue before the people, and in 1872 the
Republicans suffered their most disas-
trous defeat with the Mckinley tariff
As the milestone that bore them down.
Had anyone then predicted that Nc
kinley would ever be a hopeful candi-
date for President he would nave been
laughed at, but today the Republican
masses undoubtedly prefer him over all
others, and they have swept the field
against the best political leaders the
party has developed.

MUsr woMEN woKK. .

l An old-fasAioned man who has listened
I to considerable talk about the develop
ment OF women through hard work IN
vites ore OF these advocates OF the doc
trine OF equality OF the sexes TO take the
negative in each one or all OF ;he hve
following propositions:
l. That neither in the design OF nature
nor in government expediency can be
found a Justification for wage-earning
toll by women.
. That wage-earning toll by women
is an evidence. not OF national progress,
but of national retrogr"ssion-
3 That that nation will be the best
and happiest in which the least wage
earning toll is done by women.
1. That the presence OF women in the
ranks OF toilers is a reproach to our
civilization and a menace TO Posterity.
). That the increasing number OF chill
dren in the army OF toilers is Of. the
same sort OF progress" that the "ad-
vanced woman" glories in.
The affirmative will probdoly be asked
why man has not provided for the sup
port of women who have no natural sup
porters. will be admitted that the
spectacle OF a family OF girls posing in
idleness while the head Of the family is
working for such wages as :he av-rHge
workingman can command would not be
edifying. We cannot know much about
the design of nature except as nature
speaks through the conditions Of life
which II permits to be established. II is
manifestly unjust TO deny woman the
right TO work without making SOME pro-
vision BY which she may live without
working. Justice is a higher law than
cxPediency. So long as a percentage OF
women are cOmpelled to earn their own
living a just man cannot deny her the
right to earn II the best way she can.
She should not be barred out from the
occupations in which work is best re-
warded. There is no necessary connec-
tion between the right Of woman to an
education which admits her into the
highest pursuits, and her right 10 vote.
! The one comes 10 her AS a simple act Of
| justice which should not be withheld,
while the other Is a matter Of expedi-
ency. The condition OF a woman who
has her own living TO earn is improved
/ by opening 10 her sthe occupations in
which men find the highest results. But
it does rot follow that the condition OF
women would be improved by ievolying
upon them the full responsibilities OF
citizenship. IL there were any lisposi-
ton on the part Of men to oppress wom-
en- with unjust laws her demand for the
ballot would be understood. But men
have voluntarily Disseminated in their
laws IN favor Of women. II there was
any assurance that women would bring
TO the conduct OF public affairs higher in
telligence or greater honesty Of purpose
than men possess the best Of men would
welcome her participation in the iull
work OF citizenship. The question. after
all, resolves itself TO this: Would the
suffrage make the masses OF women
happier than they are now? 1t IS the
masses, either OF men or women, who
are to be considered. The favored few
can take care OF themsolyes. II is the
average young woman who finds herself
dependent upon her own resources whom
the state is most concerned about San
Francisco BuHetin.
