the presidential chair for a third
term it is only in order that he
may overcome a "public supersti.
ton of dangerous precedent"
For, according to the same authority, "the
time may come when it will be for the vital
interests of the people of this country to
nominate president for third term If
that time ever should come, the people of
this country will be fully alive to the ne,
cessities OF the case, and will most likely
proceed and discharge their duty, but at
present, however, such necessity, iortu-
nately, does not exist.
The electors of Illinois will have a
chance to pass upon the attempt to tinker
the constitution OF the state at the Noven-
Der election The proposed amendment Is
as follows;
I'm each county there shall be elected the
following county officers at the general
election to be held on Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1882: A county
Judge, county clerk, sheriff and treasurer,
and at the election to be held on the Tues.
day after the first Monday in November,
A. d., 1884 coroner and clerk of the cir
cult court (who may be ex-otiicio recorder Of
deeds except in counties having sixty thou
saud and more inhabitants, in which county
a recorder of deeds shall be elected at the
general election in 1881 Each of said OF.

| flee, respectively on the first Monday of
December alter his election, and until their
successors are elected and qualified. Pro-
vlded, that no person, having once been
elected to the office of sheriff or treasurer
shall be eligible to reelection TO said Office
Tor four years after the expiration of the
term for which he shall have been elected"
The design is to do away with an election
every November, making the fall elections
alternate years, and electing sherifs and
treasurers ofcountes for four years instead
of two, and rendering them ineligible for
immediate reelection

hessrs. GLADDEN. & Taylor, that not less
than seyenty-tive emigrants, many of them
bound for Kansas. still pass through this
city weekly upon their way south. It is
cur opinion that the colol.d people of the
south who are thinking Of going to Kansas
this year, had better wait awhile. The out.
look there is that there are a good many
people there now who will, before many
months wish they had never seen Kansas.
In some parts Of the state there has been
no rain for six months, and the prospects
for good, or even fair, crops are anything
but promising There is very general
feeling in Kansas that this is to be
droughty year, Drought in Kansas means
great deal. 1t means poverty, ruin AMI |.
starvation. Heretofore, in bad years, the !
money spent by the thousands of new set
tiers was a great help to the people. Now.
however, the tide of emigration flows past |
Kansas to Colorado and other states and |
territories farther west. Many wheat
fields are already scorched past recovery. !
Unless rain comes soon, Kansas will not
produce sufficient wheat thi. year 10 make
