Extending the some Term Principle

Mr.. Summers resolution 10 amend the con-
stitution by prohibiting President of the
United States from holding Office for more
than one term, suggests the very natural in
quiry, Why not extend the principle TO Sen
ators and Representatives ? All the reasons
which Mr.. Sumner adduces against the re-
election of President bear with equal force
against the reelection Of Senator. Ii the
President can be accused Of using his power
and patronage to promote his reelection, 80
with equal and even more truth can the Sem
ator. If President sometimes thinks more
Of what will be popular than what will be
right, so certainly do Senators. 10 fact, moi
a single reason can be given for restricting
the Presidential Office to one term that does
not apply with even more force to the Office
Of Senator or Representative. Mr.. Sumner
himself, now serving his fourth term in the
Senate, will doubtless be candidate for re-
election in 1873. According to his own the
ory, instead Of being better fitted for useful
ness in the Senatorial Office by his long ex-
perienoe, he has already been fourteen years
too long In the Senate, and has grown TO be q
very dangerous person indeed, and the liber-
ties Of the country are seriously threatened,
if we may believe his own story, by his long
er continuance in the high station he has
adorned so well aud filled so long and filled
so usefully in the estimation of the public.
We have not fully considered the one-term
question as applied to Presidents or Senators,
and are not at present disposed to commit
ourselves against the principle, provided the
term were extended to six or seven years
for President, and to eight or nine years
for Senator. But we do not quite see why
il the principle is good for the one office it is
not equally good for the other.-S, Pau

The Next President.

AT this time great deal is said in Demo.
cratic and sore-headed Republican journals
about the rapid increase of anti-Grant senti.
ment. With those who make this statement
the wish is father to the thought. There is
nothing in the political condition Of the coun.
try to warrant the assertion that the Admins
tration is becoming unpopular, or that tho
President is losing any ground in public con-
fdence and esteem. la face of the graiutous
assertions made by those whose malignity i'm.
pels them to wage ceaseless war upon Grant
it is gratifying to be able point to verdict
which has just been rendered in favor Of the
Administration by the people of great aud
intelligent State.
Republicans have not forgotten the NORTH
cation with which they received the news of a
Democratic success in New Hampshire.
The w-Hampshre men were ofcourse
mortified and Inundated at the disgraceful
fight they had made They well understood,
however, that the hearts Of the people were
not disposed to be unfrcndy to Grant. 10
their preparation for the coming campaign the
Republican leaders are bound to win, and
they know that they must stand by Grant il
they hope to succeed. That they have made
a correct calculation of popular sentiment is
indicated in the platform adopted by the Re.
publican convention which met on Wednesday
at Concord There is no ambiguity in til,
language used by the Convention when il
speaks Of the President and his work. Il
comments the Administration TO the conhdenc,
of every true Republican it applauds the
President for his success 10 reducing the pub
lie debt, diminishing and equalizing taxation
administering every branch of affairs with
economy and efficiency, reforming and improv
ing the civil service, enforcing the laws with
out fear or favor, protecting the nations ward
with paternal care against the cruel avaric,
Of speculation and fraud, and maintaining
friendly relations with foreign powers. Thi
does not look like growth of anti-Grant sen
timent; on the contrary, it is sigui6can
sign Of the increasing favor with which tn,
President is regarded by the people. Bn6al

officers should be held to their legitimate du.

or political reasons or purposes.
We have questions before us that are to
test the strength Of our institutions and the
power Of the republic. The South is ip a
sad way. 1t is at the mercy of the worst
demagogues and robbers. The public debt Of
Louisiana has gone from 80 600 600, at the
close Of the war to nearly s50,000000, and
nothing to show for it. South Carolina auu
Florida and Georgia and Alabama are in
similar condition. The largo mass Of igno-
rant voters there are at the mercy Of the sharp
est aud most reckless politicians. The negro
vote is still an uuenlightened vote Con-
gress has therefore got something to do beside
appointing postmasters and schcming for pat
ronage and spoils. The President has got
something to do beside rewarding his friend.
The exigencies Of the country are too great
and momentous to allow Of such patry tri.

Prom the Chicago Times
The Westward March of Population.

Prof Hilgard, Of the coast survey, has
been ciphering on the census returns for the
purpose Of ascertainng how rapidly the
march of empire takes its way westward.
lie finds that in 1910, " the center gravity
Of the population" as he phrases it, was in
Virginia, near the eastern side Of the Cum.
bcrland mountains, on the 39lh parallel Of
latitude. In 1850, the center was fny.seven
miles further west, south Of Chillicothe,
Ohio, near the line between Virginia and
Kentucky In 1870 it was forty-fvc miles
further west, at Wilmington, Clinton county,
Ohio. Taking the sum Of these distances, it
will be seen that the center Of the population
Of the United States is lS4 miles further
west than il was 10 1910 - thirty years ago.
Professor llilgard is Of opinion that the
rate Of progress westward will be much
slower hereafter, and predicts that, in 1900,
the center Of population will be about forty
miles southwest Of indianapolis. The pro-
fessors reasons for thinking that the growth
Of the West will be relatively slower bereaf-
ter, are not made public; and it is difficult TO
form any conjecture as to their nature. 1t
may be inferred that the westward movement
of the center will be slower in future, be-
cause it was slower during the past than dur
ing the preceding decade 1t should be
remembered, however that the movement was
faster from 1850 to 1850 than it was from
1910 to 1850. 1t should also be remembered
that the war greatly retarded the growth Of
the country, and Of the West especially and
no such retarding force ought to enter into
any estimate regarding the future And be-

more to &C, crate the increase Of popula-
ton in the West. There is railroad from
the Mississippi to the Pacific already in ope-
ration, aud another, traversing far more in
viting country, will be completed before the
expiration Of many years. Aside from these
great through roads, scores Of shorter ones
are projected many Of which are in process
of construction. Many Of the leading cor
porations concerned in these enterprises, and
many Of the Western states as well are do
ing all 10 their power to invite emigration,
and their efforts are meeting with no incon-
siderable success. There is, indeed, one pow
erful retarding force in operation - the force
Of our pernicious systems Of taxation and
currency - but the prospect is that this OBJ
stace to growth will be at least partially re-
moved at no distant day, when the westward
current Of emigration will pour onward with
greater volume and rapidity than ever before
When Congress takes its heel of from the in
dustries Of the country, and ceases to depress

reason why the center Of gravity of popu-
lation should not move westward at least as
fast hereafter as it has done heretofore.

" The New York Tribune has developed
