AGAINST GRANT.

The Cincinnati Commercial urges,
in the following language, its objec-
tion to third term:
"The right of the people to put
forward General Grant we do not
concede. The unwritten law against
more than two terms of the Presi-
dency for one citizen is more valua-
bic and important than any article of
the Constitution. There is no viola
ton of the Constitution that would
be as dangerous to the public liber-
ties as third term. The persons
who are pushing Grant are not the
people, but the representative men Of
rings and personal favorites, the sort
of men who profit by the perpetuity
of facilities for plundering the peo-
pie enjoyed under monarchial forms
| of Government. Given third term
a fourth will be wanted; fourth
term and fifth will be demanded.-
The persistent purpose is that rob
berry shall have continuity and be
come sanctifed; and that is the
worst of the consuming rottenness
that preys upon monarchies. We
object to turning this country down
that road under any auspices, how
ever illustrious. No name that is or
was or will be in this country is
great enough to excuse any citizen
Of sound disposing mind for dab
bling in the approaches to that
crime. We believe the administers
tion favors Sherman in a way. In
our judgment it should have put
forth it's hands and smashed the ma
chimes in Pennsylvania and New
York that ground grist that may
prove a very bad dose tor the body
polite"
The Cincinnati Gazette is not far
behind the Commercial in it's denun-
citation Of the third term movement:
"The candidacy of General Grant
is commonly spoken Of as for third
term. We suppose, however, that nc
one who supports General Grant ex.

WE believe it can Ike truthfully said
of the Grant men that there never has
been any inclination upon their part
to holt the Presidential nomination in
case Grant should fail to secure 1t.
There was q time too when they had
no reason to he positive of his nomi-
nation. OF course, that time has long
since passed. The nomination Of
Blaine, or Sherman. or anybody else
would have made the Grant men solid
for the success of the party. They
have not been engaged in engendering
feuds which are liable to be destruc-
tive to the best interests Of the party,
but have endeavOred throughout to act
the part Of discreet, considerable men.
They have used all honorable means
TO secure the nomination Of their ia
vorite without defaming other good
and tried Republican candidates.
They have made the canvass with the
purpose of supporting the Chicago
nominee whoever he may be, and they
will be placed in such a position after
that eventful day that they will not be
compelled to "eat crow" They will
be 30 fixed that they can rally enthu-
siastically under the standard ofeither
Blaine, Sherman, Washburne, Ed
monds, or any other man who may be
nominated.

The Kansas City Journal makes the
following sensible suggestions in NJ
gard 70 our state andits crops:
1t b all Kansas, from near Is to 1O2
degrees Of longitude, but it is not eli
natically 80. Perhaps, in time, the
one great lesson needed will be learn
ed-that corn belongs to the eastern
section Of the state, and that beyond
Salina the small grain must he depend
ed on. Then, there is another thing
that seems to be inherited from early
times-the tendency to make more
out of q Kansas grievance than any,
where else under the sun. 1t may
come from climatic causes, the ner-
vOllsness induced, by the stimulating
air of the prairies. but the failure of
field Of wheat creates a louder and
wider clamOr than il made over a
country short of crops elsewhere.
Minnesota has suffered ten fold
more from grasshOppers than Kansas,
yet the fact is rarely referred to or
known outside her borders. And since
we have been noting crops in this part
Of the west, We have seen more disas-
trOus failures in extent and number
both, in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Kentucky, than in Kansas. and yet
the world is hardly the wiser for it.
But this, perhaps, will cure itself as
the country becomes older, and people
on the new frontier are able TO pro-
vide for season ahead. But it is now
sOOver One-third Of the state, and this
thing Of panic sensation should be
stopped. The truth is that sd far a.
the settled portions of Kansas are con-
cerned, il is u more reliable state as to
crops than either Of the central states.
Iowa has hardly had one good crop i'm
four years. yet you have to go among
the people to find il out The rains OF
Kansas are abundant, but they are
more periodical than east OF the Mis-
sissipi and for that reason more GER
tain. This il common sense aud il is
time to recognize the fact.
