The most significant evidence that
Grant is the inevitable Republican
candidate for the Presidency next
year, is found in the fact that no
other candidate dare assert himself
Tor the position, nor have the friends
of any any hope. The opposition to
Grant is slighi, and he will 60 into
the Conve! ton with enormous pow
er. The opposition to every other
candidate is bitter and malignant,
and no other man will enter the Con
vention with any but a local force
behind him. He is doubtless tho
strongest man before the people tho
Republicans a nominate.

There are many noticeable indica-
tons of the growth of a sounder and
healthier thought on the temperance
question. Those who believe that
every evil by which society is affiict-
ed can be cured by legislation, hay
ing put their favorite theories to the
test without success are looking to
different methods. DR.. S. G. Hol-
land has, it seems to us, obtained
some clear light on the subject of
curing intemperance. In a letter to
the Woman's National Temperance
Association, which met at C~incinna-
ii two weeks ago, he wrote:
"For the last % years l have
watched with absorbing interest the
various phases and stages of the
temperance reform. 1 confess that
l have not found much to encourage
me, either in the results of personal
reform, or in the outcome of prohibit,
tory legislation. Drunkards are
made faster than they can be mend,
ed, and the laws are neither executed
nor respected. The only way, there.
fore, to cure drunkenness is TO cease
producing it. The only way to gel
rid of drunkards is to stop raising
them. Here is where woman's trut
field of labor lies, with relation tt
this great work. The hope of the
country is in its children, and the
children are in the hands ofwomer
women mainly in the home, wo
men mainly in the school, womer
mainly in the Sunday school. l hav'
no great hope of your success rs
society in influencing legislation,
should have no great hope of the re
suits of legislation, eve should yo1
adm securing it."
There is practicable, sound sens
in this. 1t points to the way il
which women can accomplish niue
more in rcscuing young men fror
the vice of drunkenness than she ca
by joining in such movements as tn
~crusades, by which, a year or tw
ago, little else was accomplished tina
the sacrifice of womanly modest
| and the exciting of angry passions
In ninety-nine cases out of q hundre

: Parental neglect on the one hand, {
e an asceticism on the other, whic
renders the home gloomy and driy,

things that SOW the seeds of inter
perance. In this, as in everythir

President GRANT has evidently
commenced war upon the P1pe's toe
in earnest and makes his opening at
tack through a Catholic judge in Ari-
IONA, whom he proposes to remove
on account of his religion. Grants
own religious convictions are not re-
markably strong, but this sudden
earnestness and zeal is On account
of politics rather than religion, the
latter being b.tmeans to accomplish
the end desired, and in political en-
terprise les it is %well-known that our
President is scarcely rivaled.

the employment of lecturers, whose

result in great good to the order.

As the third-term business is !

As the third-term business is be-
coming pretty lively, it may be in
teresting to give Grants letter on
the subject, published some months
ago. 1t will be found to read about
as ell one way as another. Here it
is:
"Now for the third term. 1 do not
want it any more than / did at first.
l would net write nor utter a word to
change the will of the people in ex-
pressing and having their choice.
The question of the number ofterms
allowed to any n Executive can
only come up fairly in the shape CT
a proposition to amend the Constitu-
tion-a shape in which all political
parties can participate, fixing the
length of time or the number OF
terms for which any one person shall
be eligible for the office of President.
Until such amendment is adopted
the people can not he restricted in
their choice by resolution further
than they are restricted as to age
nativity, &c. 1t may happen in tht
future history of the country that tt
change an Ececutice because he hd'
been eight gears IN office @iU prort

idea hat any man could elect him
self President, or even renominat;
