are evil minded; but having, by our
present political system, made public
life attractive chiefly to dishonest men,
and dangerous for all who enter it,
can we now reasonably hope to find
enough men, even for our own impor-
tant Offices who are so pure and strong
as to be beyond the need Of praying;
''Lead us not into temptation?' How
many such men do we find among the
ofiicc-seckera of any party?--and it is
rs yet, and ever will be under our pres
ent system, the oflice.seelxer who gets
the office. Can we, then, prevent dis
honesty by lawP Perhaps not by law
alone; bat we are only just beginning
to lenrn the meaning of environment,
and shall some day have ceased, let us
hope, to echo the question OF Cain. Law
has succeeded TO some extent in maxi
ing it difficult or dangerous for the
cvil-minded to execute their designs;
but whence CONS the evil-minded?
Crime is shown to be daily increasing,
in spite Of all fear of punishment.
Law is yet only upon the threshold of
its true worlt-the revival of tempta-
tion and opportunity. The Australian
ballot has, wherever used, practically
done away with bribery and intimida-
tion at the polls; and having thus, by
a simple device Of law practically abol-
ished the lesser evil, shall we continue
to bow before the greater one, though
it is not less durable? Shall we sit
calmly down, with temptation daily
increasing in strength and number,
and wait for human nature, under such
conditions, to reach perfection? The
referendum by giving to the people
direct and practical means Of passing
upon all important bills. would thus
deprive our representatives Of all pur-
chasable value-at once protecting our
selves and destroying the power Of the
temptor.
Much space might be occupied in
dwelling upon even the immediate ben
efits which would be sure to follow
the adoption of the referendum; but
after all it is not so much question
Of how much the referendum would do
for us, as it is of whether, without it,
we can do anything whatever in the
way of Legislation for the people Can
we reasonably hope, under the present
system, to make any headway against
the fast growing power of money? Let
us not forget, however, in onr impa-
tience for perfection, that the charac-
ter of our government cannot, Under
whatsoever perfection of form surpass
in wisdom or virtue the character of its
people. Let us not be deceived by any
vision of q pure stream flowing through
an impure source, nor dream that we
can, by any ingenuity of political, in
dustrial or social arrangement, set
aside the divine law of cause and effect.
We shall never gather grapes from
