In less than four weeks Mr.. Mckinley will
have become installed as President of the
United States Like his immediate prede-
cessor, as indications now point, he will have
hostile Senate, and will relinquish his office
with divided party and with unfulGlled
promises No radical tariff bill can be passed,
and it does not seem probable that by inter
national agreement, or by legislation by our
Congress, can be effected any substantial
change in our financial situation. The tariff
benefciaries will not be pleased at the result
of four years of McKinleyism, and the fnan-
cial situation is not likely to be improved.
Besides, the Cabinet that has been constructed
is likely to dsplease the party by the distri-
button of patronage and the conduct of their

Office of persons during life or good behavior,
not only makes privileged class, but the age
limit fixed by our law excludes from the
public service people in the prime Of life,
mentally and physically, and causes many Of
them to lose interest in public affairs.
Men are exempt from military duty at forty
FIVE, though many would be accepted, if they
volunteered, at the age of sixty OF more.
Still the law excludes people from entering
the revenue service at forty five and from the
postal service after thirty-fve years of age.
They may enter the one at forty -four, if COM
petent to pass an examination, and the other
at thirty -four, and they can remain as long as
they can discharge their duties. even if they
are hundred years old
Examination TO establish fitness for public
employment is proper, but to keep in. Office
for life those fortunate enough to be in when a
branch of the government service is put under
civil service rules, is unjust and un-republeaa.
A party entrusted with the conduct of
public affairs should be free to appoint its
own officials. Without this power it can
scarcely be held responsible, unless it endor-
ses life-tenure in office. Partisanship is no
bar to honesty or competency for public ser
vice, and those who hold contrary views are
cranks and incompetent to advise the people.
Some of She Cabinet officers have been
talking of business methods in the admins
tration Of their Offices which means the re-
II I
well, and the appointment to vacancies of men
who are competent. regardless of their party
service. Mr.. Cleveland called Republican
TO be Secretary Of State, and Mckinley has
selected for Secretary of the Treasury Chi
cago bank officer who voted for Cleveland in
1884. Cleveland will go ont of Office without
the endorsement of his party and into politi-
cal retirement, and it looks now like McKin-
lev will do the same.
