time he is informed that there must be

That Third Term Business.

la an editorial, few days since, the
Commonwealth deprecated the third
term" talk, taking grounds squarely
against the policy-its plausibiiiiy or
possibility. The Lawrence Standard,
the next day comInends the manly po-
sition of the State paper, declaring
that no other Republican paper of the
State had been SO outspoken. Follow
ing the latter the Atchison Champion
makes quotations aud asserts that, mol
only large number of the States in
Republican Conventions assembled,
had declared against q ";hlrd term"
bat that the Republican party OF Kan
esas had formally done the same thing.
which action had been most heartily
aud unanimously upheld aud endorsed
by the Republican papers Of Kansas.
We have mislaid the articles alluded
to and cannot, therefore, quote the
words, but the Champion is right.
The question arises in our mind
why, at this time, the CoaaRoa,ceaith's
article! The third term" business
was an Invention of the New York
Democracy IN The first place. As
proposition TO s.artle, as an assertion
that from its nature was hard to put
down or deny, it proved an effective
weapon against our party for many
months. As party, we knew that
such political programme was never
dreamed of, Hor did we believe that
our patriotic President ever contem-
plated such a step, nevertheless, the
Democracy kept asserting, and the
Republicans, in convention, denying.
until the third Term scare had lost
all lis force.
II the Commonwealth viii permit us
we viii venture statement of the
reason for such an article at this time,
and it is this: Notwithstanding its
Democratic authorship aud Its conIinu-
al spurning by the President and the
Republican party and its organs, the
"third term" idea is rapidly gaining
ground throughout the entire Nation
And this '.third term" sentiment is not
traeeable to Federal Off holders eth
er, for the chances OF a Republican
success with such conceded load
are too desperate for them to risk It's
advocacy, bat it comes from convic-
tion-based upon thousand circum-
stances and overt acts-that the
country, lis institutions and lately
gained liberties would be safer in tried
hands.
What answer?

The Wichita Beacon, our cOtempo-

not only for Wichita but Southwest

for Democratic principles. Well, we
don't know any reason why il should
not. One half OF Congress-thc popu-
lar half-ove one half of the State
Governors is of that stamp, and the
impending great National fight Will be
maintained on the one side by that
party. II the Beacon but maintains
its present literary excellence aud local
enterprise. it will not only hold The
same relation 10 the Democratic party
in Southwestern Kansas that the EA-
GLE has held TO the Republican party,
but will he recognized by the Demo-
cratic party of the State as a promi-
nent organ aud valuable auxiliary.
Regardless of the signs of the times,
and Notwithstanding any designs upon
the post office, we wish our neighbour
continued prosperity.
