those which are the result Of unsuccessful
guessing. Here are a few examples:

Constant vigilance must be maintained,
moreover, by the friends OF the reform to
hold the ground that has been gained, and
to defeat the persistent attempts at eva
sion that in New York City, for instance
under Tammany, are systematic and -
some respects almost multiplying: attacks
in Congress and in the Legislatures must
be met. and new and stronger legislation
secured where practicable. Above all
pyIhlie oninion must be educated The
people must understand mere clearly than
they do how shamefully the system Of
spoiIs has marred our past history, low
essentially un-Ameriean 1t is, and how
much of the national future must depend
on its utter eradication
1T is not necessary 10 point out that
the interest of women in the promotion
of this great reform is as clear as that
of other citizens and that in many re-
spects 1t is peculiarly clear. If 1t were
necessary to show that this fact is well

M'KINLEY's ANCESTORS. x
His Cousin Says They Were Of the
Catholic Faith.

The conversion, baptism and confir-
nation of Captain Arthur S. Mckinley,
first cousin of President Mckinley, is
announced. The Loretto Magazine
makes the following statement of the
facts i'll the case:
Eat the $50 o'clock mass in the
chapel of the Sisters of Loretto, St.
Marys Academy, Denver, Feb. 26, Cap
tain Arthur S. Mckinley, first cousin Of
our president, received his first COM
munion. The captain was baptized in
the Denver Cathedral few days pre-
vious, and requested the privilege OF
making his first communion in the
chapel of the Loretto Sisters.
The Sisters invited the gentleman and
his wife to breakfast with the chaplain
III the academy parlor after mass, and
during breakfast a Sister smilingly
asked if the conversion was not re-
turning to the faith of his forefatlers.
The captain replied: yes, my grand
father, and, OF course the presidents,
for Our fathers were brothers, was a
staunch old Catholic OF Belfast, Ireland.
But our fathers came to America whilst
very young and married non-Catlolics,
then fell from the faith themselves. Lat
or they sent for our grandparents, and
they came to the old homestead in Can
ton, Ohio, where the president and
were raised. was but a child at the
time, but I was present at my grand
fathers deathbed, and, though we we're
one hundred miles away from Catholic
church, he requested my father and
uncle, to send for a priest. The priest
did not arrive in time to assist the old
gentleman, but when his wife, our
grandmother Mckinley, died, she had
Catholic priest with her.
Captain Mckinley attended the mis-
sion given at the Denver Cathedral in
October, and determined at its close to
become Catholic. He accompanied a
Catholic friend at first only to hear the
sermons of the Passionist fathers, who,
he heard, had a reputation for elo-
quence; but God touched his heart, and
now he rejoices in the possession of the
Catholic faith"
