we want manhood in our politics Let us
have no more of the Colfax business, the
Pharisee candidates, the nominations of men
who have hidden in every strife and have
remained neutral in every emergency, who
only believe in the emoluments of politics.
Do not repeat the blunder which gave us
Polk and Pierce, which defeated John
Quincy Adams Now that we are looking in
all directions for candidates let it be under
stood that no one will be named by either
convention-republica or democratic--whe
has not earned the honor by faithful and
continued service for the public welfare.
In these speculations upon the campaign
which is now to open we have said nothing
of the third term. Is Grant not the inev-
liable republican candidate after all? The
nomination of the President for a third term
would be so much of revolution in our
politics that we prefer not to consider it, ex-
cept as something apart from all other con-
siderations. But for the fact that Grant has
been twice chosen he would now be the can
didate. This is because he is about the best
man in the party and because he has not
outlived his military prestige. AS it now is,
the republican party in the South would go
for Grant as a unit. He could have Penn
sylvania and New York if he wished it, as
the party in these States is machine which
runs like chronometer, and will strike the
hour to which the hands may be turned.
Just now they are turned to Conkling, and
they promise to strike Conkling. Is it
not possible they may strike Grant? This
is the weak point in the canvass of Mr..
Conkling. But we have never entertained
the suspicion that the name of our Senator
could be used as mask for the third
term. The eagle of Oneida, whose imperial
flights have been the wonder and admiration
of his party, can never become mere third
term stool pigeon. But the way to prevent
a third term is to be ever on the alert and to
strike at whatever indicates it. That danger
will only pass away with a new President
and an amendment to the constitution. Con-
gress has not been patriotic enough to give
us the amendment. Now let the people give
US the President.

atmosphere is proved beyond all question
Therefore when we experience extremes 'oi
heat and cold or violent storms the same
phenomena are certain to present themselves
IN due course of time to our European
cousins The warm weather recently ex-
perienced in the United States has evidently
drifted across the Atlantic. and while our
rivers are again locked up with ice those Of
Central Europe are swollen by the thou
sands of tributary streams that carry the
melted SHOWS from the mountains into val
leys and plains. There is no reason why q
system of warning signals should not be
adopted between this continent and Europe,
by which it would be easy to prognosticate
the weather changes on that side OF the At
lantic many days in advance. The British
islands and the western coasts of France and
Spain suffer from sudden storms, which
often cause fearful disasters to shipping.
Nearly all these disturbances arise or pass
within the sphere of our observation. Why,
then, do we not warn Europe of their COM
ing, and thus save life and property by so
simple precaution? The cold that we are
now experiencing will make itself felt in
Europe during the coming week, perhaps,
and may produce heavy snow falls over the
very region now suffering from the effects of
the sudden rise in temperature A recur-
renee of the floods would probably result
but by timely preparation, suggested by a
foreknowledge of the change, much suffer-
ing, not to say loss of life, would be pre-
vented.

party which already portends a division,
may hasten a reformation of parties upon o
natural basis of principles, which will un-
oouotediy be for the good of the country.
we near reports that prominent hard money
democrats have said they will prefer to see
split of the party and the nomination of two
tickets rather than consent to see themselves
dragged at the heels of a soft money
and old whig candidate whose suocess
if it were possible, would not in their
opinion, benefit either the country q,
the party, and would be only temporary
and evanescent triumph, to which thev
would have helped men who, though thew
call themselves democrats, are wings in
everything but the name. Those who think
thus are wiser than many of their allies will
acknowledge. 1t is very doubtful if the
democratic party can elect its candidate in
November but there is no doubt that if it
should, as seems very probable, go before
the country with what thirty years ago would
have been called whig platform its victory
would be unfruitful of good to the country
and barren to the party, except in the mlser-
able spoils of Office for short four years
What the democratic party needs is to elimi-
nate the whig elements and become really
and sincerely democratic Then, we believe,
the country will accept it, because the mass
of the American people believe in that in
depreciation of the constitution which limits
the powers of the federal government, en-
courages local responsibility and self-gov-
eminent, and thus secures economy. eff

Highway Bridges and Highway Rob-
berries.

We present to our readers in another col
umn several illustrations of the vicious sys-
tenn which is beginning to prevail through
out the country in the construction OF iron
highway bridges. Instead of being the means
of insuring safety to the travelling public
many of these structures are shown to be
nothing more than man-traps, liable at any
moment to involve in their own destruction
the lives of the many thousands of travellers
who, unsuspicious of danger, intrust them
selves on these in-designed and carelessly
built structures The introduction of iron
as material for railroad and highway
bridges marks an important era in the prog
ress of the engineering art. Theory based
upon the well known qualities of the metal
and the practical experience of eminent
engineers in its application to con-
struction unite in recommending iron
as q building material most suitable
for bridge work and deserving of
the fullest confidence when properly en-
ployed. 1t is, therefore, only too evident
that ignorance, criminal carelessness or
dishonesty operates to produce the fail
ures and defects in iron bridge con-
struction complained of in our article.
The control of the selection and erec-
ton of such important works as public
bridges should not be any longer permitted
to remain with ignorant or venal village
committees, but should be placed in the
hands of competent engineers and response
BILE officials Every structure intended to be
devoted to public use should be subject to
rigid inspection by an officer of the State,
whose duty it would be to see that such
work was carried out in strict compliance
with the plans and specifications, and copies
of these should in every instance be filed in
the office of the Secretary of State. BY this
means authentic records would be preserved
from the hands of the highway robbers.
Defects in the original plans would be
remedied before mistakes of design or calcu-
lation became dangerous to life and limb,
and a vast amount of public money would
be saved from the clutches of INSCRIPTIONS
contractors and dishonest village committee
men BY all means let us have a close in
spection of our public bridges, be they of
wood, stone or iron. single human life is
worth more than all the cost of alterations
and repairs that might be discovered to be
nee essary.
