der such government and to submit to it, au-

The Declaration Of Independence was for
NAL notice that inhabitants Of the Colonies
consented no longer to British rule. 1t de-
clared their right to withdraw consent when
government became subversive Of their rights
and openly appealed to the God of Battles.
The consent of the governed was then with
drawn in the Colonies, and from that time it
was held that Great Britain had no longer just
right to govern here. That Is precisely the
meaning Of the language, which Is now so
often quoted as meaning that Just. free ana
civilized government cannot be established over
savages In the Philippine Islands without first
getting them together to vote on the subject.
One Of the characteristics Of the founders OF
the United States WINS that they were not fools.
They never imagined that free government
could not be esta blished anywhere without the
formal assent Of persons who did not know
what government meant. Neither had they so
mean an opinion Of any descendant of this day
rs to Imagine that the acts Of their lives during
all the early history Of the United States would
be interpreted as dishonest and faithless to
their convictions because they did not ask the
French In Louisiana whether purchase from
France gave right to govern them. nor the Ind

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The year opens with a little too much specu-
lative temper. There is rage for buying not
merely good things. but also other things
Prices go up, the good things on their actual
absorption by people who take them for their
real value, and the other things on the eager
preference OF spectators for chances TO get big
profits quickly. In five days last week sales OF
stocks were 36O674 shares. with 460.363 in two
hours Of the biggest Saturday on record. and the
character Of the buying was more significant
than its amount. OF two street roads 531, 1871
shares sold during the week. Of two gas
concerns 316,95O. OF Sugar and Tobacco 2SO9G6
of two Federal Steel issues $4,000, Of St. Paul.
the only railroad issue Of which over 100000
shares were sold, 101 OO6 shares. and Of 191
other concerns 1.541.552 shares. 1t is the
great variety and magnitude OF these purchases
where no towering speculation nhames the
gambling spirit. which show the real strength
Of a market in which the public Is constantly
absorbing a vast amount Of stocks. largely for
investment. But the rise in the Issues most ia
vored in speculation Ia another matter. The
average Of prices for sixty railway issues
rose IS cents a share during the short week and
the average for trusts rose 81 Oh a share.
1t is true that the conditions Of business
are exceedingly favorable. and justify expecta-
tons of Improvement. But It is likely to be a
mistake to suppose that the Improvement OF
months or years can be realized in week. The
one danger is that II the speculation spreads 10
products rise In prices may soon go far
as TO cut off part Of the sources OF business. 1t
is to the credit OF the iron manufacturers that
they have yet shown the moderation and
prudence to prevent such rise Of prices as
would cut OFF their foreign and part OF their
other trade. and the rather numerous advances
last week largely paper. The ad-
vance Of 81 in steel rails at the West. for in

SOME REPUBLICANS AND A PLATFORM.

Perhaps Henry WattersOn Is right IN his con-
tempt for party platforms. Certainly some Re
publican members of the House Of Represent
atiyes seem to share his view that they are
waste paper Otherwise II is impossible that
faithful party men like Messrs. Evans eros
vepor. Hepburn and their associates should at
tack the merit system as embodied in the pres
ent Civil Service law and executive orders OF
q Republican President, and attempt to deprive
the Civil Service Commission Of its customary
appropriation and so cripple its activity. More
astonishing still on any other theory would be
their success in bringing to their side major
ity In the Committee of the Whole. Only COM
plete forgetfuness Of party principle and party
record can explain the arguments made in
favor OF starving the Civil Service Commits
sion into loosening its hold on appointments.
Mr. Evans, Of Kentucky, was not spokesman,
but he was opposed to life tenure and 10 the
present conduct Of the law" Mr.. Grosvenor,
OF Ohio. thought the law had "throttled the
appointing power Of the Government and
he wished to restrict 1t to something APP
preaching the original purpose" Mr.. Hep
burn. of Iowa, said that when the law
was originally passed ten thousand offices Gov
"ered the largest estimate any Of its support
.'ers dreamed could be brought under its opera
"tion. To-day seventy-two thousand clerks
"were within the classified service. He was
mot opposed to honest Civil Service reform,
but to the humbug which masQueraded under
"that name"
Now. 1t happens that this humbug mas
ouerading under the name Of honest Civil Ser
vice reform is a law passed by the Republican
party and enforced under regulations adopted
and extended by Republican President. Every
one OF these Republican Congressman who ask
for the repeal Of the Civil Service law or the
restriction Of its application was elected on
the pledge TO support the platform adopted by
the National Convention at St Louis in June,
1896. That platform said:
The Civil Service law was placed on the stat
ute-book by the Republican party which has
always sustained II, and we renew our repeated
declarations that II shall be thoroughly and hon
estly enforced and extended wherever prac-
ticabie.
Running on the same ticket with these Con-
gressmen. and accepting the same declaration
two years ago. was William Mckinley. Since
he became President he has kept that pledge
uphcld the law and extended 1t, and his regu
linton Of arbitrary removals has. as even his
hostile critics admit, done more to strengthen
and round out the merit system than any act
since the passage Of the original law in 1882
The President evidently believes that platforms
