| Not the Best Occupation for the Young
Americans—The Reason.
[Ex Senator Edmunds, in the Forum.]
He who takes up politics as
an occupation, as one takes up
any other calling, enters upon
a career of much larger signifi
cance and much greater difficul
ty ar d responsibility than that
of the politician that every citi
zen must and ought to be. The
first duty of man is to provide
by honest means for the main
tenance of himself and family.
Honest politics as a pursuit does
not furnish such means except
in the small class of administra
tive employment, and then only
in a meager degree. In such
cases, the end of the office hold
er’s career, by any of the casual
ties of place, very often leaves
his family and himself stranded
on an almost desert shore. The |
associations and employments
of private life are gone, and the
savings of even the strictest
economy are small. If we turn
to the wider field of elective and
legislative politics, the same du
ty and the same necessity ex
ist.
If we descend to the class of
politicians whose object is to
| get gain for themselves either
| in money or power, and with |
! whom measures are mere pawns |
on the chess-board of politics,
McCuHough. we find ’ Pf ha .P 8 -. the m , 08t da * n ‘'
B gerous and injurious elements,
! short of nihilism and anarchism,
in the structure of political so
ciety. The corrupt and selfish
demagogue is beyond the reach
of codes and courts. Yesterday
he was a Republican of Repub
licans, to day he is a Democrat
of Democrats, and, failing to get
what he wants under these
names, to morrow he is a mug
wump or Prohibitionist or an
Alliance man—all depending on
how it seems most profitable to
gam' le in the market of poli
tics.
Believing in the divine order
that places the sum of human
happiness within the reach
of all, and inasmuch as only a
few can possibly be employed
in conducting a government, it
seems to follow that politics, as
career, cannot be looked to by
voung Americans as the best
