THE THIRD TERN AGAIN.

IH6 x04HD xNHlA <A0A4"'
A friend writes US from Wisconsin:
I sec you agree with the P. T. about
Grant and his denomination. don't.
think u. S. will be the man, and simp-
~ because he is the best representative
living of the average American citizen
That is to say, the Pioneer Press a.
grees with the ADVANCE. The P. P.
has only recently taken any stand a.
gainst Grants nomination for third
term, while the ADVANCE protested a.
gainst it all along and claimed before
he arrived at San Francisco that the
machine politicians and capitalists were
preparing Grant Presidential ''boom."
We expressed the hope months ago
that the people whom we knew were
anti-third term, would give some or
ganized expression to their opposition.
Hence we are gratified to see the call
for National Convention of those op-
posed to third term to meet at st.
LOUIS on the 9th of May, and to see such
active opposition developed from all
quarters.
No greater danger menaces the A
merican Republic than the worship of
military heroes and the enthusiastic
tendency to confer civil honors and
trusts upon them. Grant may be as
pure patriot as Washington, but the
fact that he has not already said or done
something to have his name withdrawn
from the field is pretty good indica-
ton that he is not.

COTIN0 FOR PRESIDENT
Arpr1r Mimi March "a. 1850,

vOTIv0 FOR PRESIDENT
A1RL1E, MINI, March "A, 1880.
EDITOR ADVANCE: A dispute has
arisen between two GrahAmites which
they want you to decide: l, Can u.
s. regular soldier vote for President.
2. Does u voter have to have residence
to vote for President. Please publish
answer IN the ADVANCE and obl1ge.
B. B. BRAIN.
We understand that a U. s. regular
soldier can vote for President when at
home, OF at his place Of residence, and
not otherwise. Every voter must
make or claim u residence before he
can vote for President. The general
theory is that suffrage is a matter Of
State and not of National control and
regulation. And this, in the main, is
the practice. A State can make a law
allowing her soldiers to vote in the
field, as Ohio and several other States
did during the war, but there is no gen.
eral law allowing soldiers in the field
or on duty to vote.

THH RUSH BEGUN,

The Flandreau Enterprise alludes to
the rush of immigration over all the
roads leading into Dakota, and says:
The increase in Dakota population
this year will we believe be at least one
hundred thousand. This seems large
figure in the aggregate but when it is
divided up the probabilities of the esti-
mate become apparent.
We allow q. ZOO to Northern Dakota,
which our friends there will undoubt-
eddy consider an underestimate, $4,000
for the Black Hills and sc, 900 for South
eastern Dakota.
The rush has fairly set in again, and
for the next month or two the railroads
will groan with their burdens of human
and other freight. A gentleman in
forms us that about every train going
west over the Southern Minnesota is
loaded with settlers and their goods,
and the Enterprise says that car ROADS
of household effects is about the aver
age with each train.
of course the bulk of the immigration
will be into the newer counties of Da-
kota where government lands can he
had but we expect that Southwestern
Minnesota will secure quite large
share of the influx. 1t wants only a
more liberal policy on the part Of our
railroad and \ hearty seconding Of the
liberal plans of Land Commissioner
Drake to secure thousands of settlers
on our railroad lands.
Of course, the big English and other
big sales are to be encouraged, but the
Railroad Company will do better still
to adopt the policy of the roads south
of us, and devote large share of its at
tention to individual and Independent
settlers. The tens of thousands who
have gone into Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and the States south of us during
the last ten years, went mainly as indie
pendent settlers and not in colonies, and
they were carried at nominal rate by
the railroads and every possible facility
was extended to assist them in locating.
We hope that the new company and
the consolidation will result in the a.
doption of the same policy for this re-
glon and that we may soon see the effects
in rush Of settlers.

PROTECTING BRAINS

Matthew Arnold, the finest critic in
England. is out in an article in the
March Fortniglltly, on international
copyright, which is again coming to
the front for discussion. Mr.. Arnold
quotes the remark of Geo. Putnam that
1.-The United States is, at present, tile
only country itself possessing litera-
ture of Importance, and making large
use Of the literature of the world, which
has done nothing to recognize and pro-
tect by law the rights of foreign All.
thors of whose property it is enjoying
the benefit, or to obtain similar rec
ognition and protection for its own au-
thors abroad.''
This is probably because the American
nation, with all its brightness, smart
ness and get-up, is not yet a nation of
culture. Her public men are mostly
men like Don Cameron who don't in
cline to encourage what he calls them
ID literary fellers." America glo-
ries in physical inventions and improve
ments and believes in protecting the in.
ventor so that he may reap the reward
Of his brain work when it applies to our
lower physical wants, but Americans
do not realize so fully the need of pro-
tecting authors whose inventions apply
to the mind or to our higher wants.
There is prevailing notion that An au-
thor should write for ''fame'' and give
his thoughts as freely as the all and the
light of heaven.
A wholesome change has recently
come over the minds of the leading A.
merican publishers in respect to inter-
national copyright. Tie cheap book
publishers have nearly displaced them
in the business of'publishing books and
they are now inclined to favor interna:
tional copyrights as a means Of saving
themselves. The heavy publishers lave.
enriched themselves upon the works Of
foreign authors and n " that the SIM. l.
cr publishers are doing the same thing
