RUEFIAN METAPHYSICS

find these suggestive comments on the Rue
decision by the court OF appeal in New York paper
And if the end OF the 40 days, and at
the end OF the argument before the state supreme
and after that has taken due time to
slider the various metaphysical subteties that may be
rterposed between Ruef's crimes and his punishment
If, after all this Ruef shall finally years after his
prosecution began, come down to serving term of
imprisonment how much will be left of the moral
effect that would have been produced had this noto
rious corruptonist been promptly visited with the
penalty of his crimes when they first brought
home to him? That is what would have happened
under the businesske and efficient methods of the
English courts. Is there single human being in this
country who magines that these delays and uncer-
tainties these gigantic struggles that necessary
to compass the punishment of single rascal have any
relation to the ascerainmen of the truth? If
we are to exterminate corruption III our public life,
come anywhere it, must first of all secure
such reform in habits of judicial procedure
will make the task of bringing criminals justice less
appalling in its difficulty and less preposterous in its

THE PRINCIPLE OF INSTRUCTION

Personally don't care a thrawneen who is or is
not elected senator, but I regard it matter of
the highest Importance to this commonwealth that
this principle of the advisory or mandatory-call it
which you will-instructon to members of the
legislature should be as thoroughly established as
to the election of United States senators as it has
been established by custom in the case of presi-
dental electors What would be thought ola presi-
dental elector who welched on his implied instruc
ton to vote for the candidate OF his party? Yet
the law is no more mandatory and no more binding
in one than in the other But if we once
establish the precedent that the advisory vote may
be disregarded, for whatever reason it is dead and
damned forever. This is what Pillsbury and Earl
and their crowd are trying to do, because they
imagine they see some private and personal advan-
tage for their clique to accrue from that course
OF course, they mistaken in this, but the fact
IS that not one Of them is able to see beyond the
end OF his and they are eager to do the state
grave injury because they are persuaded they can
turn trick that looks them as if it might advan-
tage some one of their own sort They do not
appear to realize that their policy puts them in
the same class with that more or less important
parsonage of local fame who cried aloud in moment
what we want is prosperity"
We need not wonder, therefore when we find
these selfconstituted custodians of morals advising
unprincipled course if the common ordinary poll
tician of commerce should be disposed to regard
matter of common honesty and good faith with their
constituents precious form of political delicacy
and sweet morsel to be swallowed when nobody
IS looking
