SOME are inclined to oppose the con-
stitutional amendments which are to
be submitted to vote of the people this
fall on the mistaken idea that they work
permanent and radical changes in the
tenure Of official positions, county and
State. The only permanent change they
make is to extend the term of Office of
the State Auditor and Clerk Of the Su-
preme Court, from three to four years, to
take effect after the election of those Of
ficers next year. The other changes Of
official tenure are temporary, to make
the terms of all two years State and coun-
ty officers expire at once, and have them
all elected thereafter, on the "even' years,
at the same time members of Congress
are elected. Hence, under the workings
of this act, after 1884, the elections for
State and county offices will be held in
1886, 1883, $780, etc., with the elections
for Congressman, and there will be no
election on the odd years,-and, without
extending the term of the two years Of
fcials, after 1886, or making any change
whatever in their tenure, gets rid OF the
political nuisance of annual elections,
and saves $50, 600 of expense to the PEG.
pie by so doing. The whole scheme
seems to US wise and prudent, and it GER
tainly does not justify the criticism of
some of our friends, that it tends to re-
move the offices further from the people.

THE MISSOURI REPUBLICAN for the cam
paign year of 1884 will improve upon its past
honorable record for ability. enterprise, re-
terests, and in all other essentials OF great
political, commercial, industrial. social Fam
lily Neees paper. The leading Democratic pa
per of the est. II not of the United States,
it will earnestly sasoeate the principles of
the Democracy and support its chosen stand
ard bearers. The friends who have hereto
fore been won by its honest and fearless
course will find it always the same safe and
trustworthy counsellor. Being an important
factor in the work of political regeneration,
1t will expect to be a necessary auxiliary to
every political speaker, and to every Demo-
cratic club in the Mississippi Valley.
The Forty-eighth congress will be a most
important body, and the long session must
develop in large degree the issues upon which
the presidential canvass of 1884 will be con-
Quoted. The revision of the tariff on ba-
sis Of revenue rather than protection; the
improvement of American shipping interests,
the silver question; the disposition of the
Indians; the appropriation OF u sufficient
amount for the Improvement Of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers-these are the prin-
cipal matters in which the people of the West
and South are vitally concerned, and to them
the REPUBLICANS Washington telegraphic
news will be largely devoted.
Faithful in it's political service, the REPUB-
LICAN will at the same time be always fair
and truthful, being first of all and above all
things else newspaper, giving each day a
complete, thorough and exhaustive survey of
the whole world, covering everything of val.
ue or interest to its readers. The REPUBLI-
CAN will not only give all the news, but spare
no pains to print it in the most intelligitle
and convenient form.
The WEEKLY REPUBLICAN will be found
an epitome of the entire news OF the week.
No other weekly paper covers the news OF the
whole world SO entirely and SO clearly, and
unlike any other weekly, it bears the news to
its readers thoroughly digested, systematic
ally arranged and carefully pruned of all
redundancy and repetition. The fact that 1t
has larger circulation than any other paper
west of the Mississippi river shows the popu-
lar recognition that it has no equal.

NUMBER "a
The Demand for More Penstons.

Ine' SENATE was hardly organized
before Mr.. Logan introduced two bills,
one "for pensioning prisoners Of war
who were confined in Confederate pris-
ons during the late war;" and tn. 9th.
er to equalize the bounties of soldiers,
sailors, and marines Of the late war for
the Union.O
It may be assumed that other cam
dldates for the Presidency IN both
ward their bids for the soldier vote.
The stock of bills is likely TO he large.
for the candidates are legion.

These official figures show that there

which has nearly expired, the enor-
nous sum of one hundred and twenty.
six millions Of dollars.
rms system of reappropriation of
balances that have not been expended
Is all wrong. 1t is inconsistent with
the law, which requires such balances
to be turned into the Treasury at the
expiration of two years. Ii leads to
reckless legislation, breaks up strict
accountability, and opens the door to
plumber and to fraud.
Inc PRESIDENT, in his message, esti-
mates the cost of pensions for the cur
rent fiscal year at sixty-seyen millions
round numbers, for which the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury reports ayailabls
appropriations to the amount Of one
hundred and twenty-six millions. So
that IN fact. by this showing, there
would be q surplus ON hand on the 1st
OF July next of fifty-nine millions, or
probably quite as much as would be
needed for the fiscal wear of 1SS4-85.
for which forty additional millions are
asked. =.
Certainly, these forty millions will
not be required 10 pay pensions, in ad-
dition to the surplus above stated. The
new Committee on Appropriation Of
the House Of Representatives will
doubtless investigate this matter be-
fore consenting to adopt Mr.. Dudley's
policy of carrying forward enormous

Private Dalzell has written the Chica-
go Times on the political situation.
He says that the democrats will take
up and elect General Sherman unless
the republicans do it, Private Dalzell
is wise, and is more candid than is the
tone of his party. The republicans
nominated Grant because they were
afraid the democrats would, and Grant
was az willing on that side as on the
other. They are very likely to take up
General Sherman for the same reason,
and the general would as lief have the
nomination from the democrats as from
the republicans, and probably little
rather. The g. o. p. would nominate
the very Old Nick II 1t apprehended
that the democrats might get ahead Of
them.

Senator Sherman's 8 desire tobe chosen
president of the senate. thus to be near
to the President, leads the Washing
ton letter to the New York Sun to re-
call Secretary Sherman's report to
President Hayes on the "gross abuses''
that had continued and; increas-
ed" during Arthur's collectorship; the
"many persons regularly paid on his
payrolls who rendered little or no ser
vice." the practice of "bribes or Rratu-
tiles in the nature Of bribes;n his nom
support of the efforts to correct these
abuses, and his non-attenlion 70 the
duties Of his Office, all Of which he said
made out the case for removal for cause.
And further. in a letter to the Senate,
he sad: ut would be unjust to the
President and personally, embarrassing
to me in the discharge Of my duties, to
have the office Of collector Of the GUS
toms of New York held by one who
will not perform the duties according
to the general policy Of the depart
ment." The letter argues that It
would in like manner be unjust to the
President to have in the Office OF Presi-
dent of the Senate one who had charg-
ed him with the protection Of corrup- !
tion and malfeasance in his Office. and
had caused him to be degraded from
his office on such charges. The hit
seems palpable. But they who ap-
piauded Sherman then are now licking
Arthur's boots. And as fer Sherman,
why, when he said this, he thought
had Arthur down.

NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of The SuN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
II you were to paste end to end all the col
ums of all THE SUNS printed and sold last
year you would get continuous strip of in
formation, common sense wisdom, sound doc

Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three quar-
ters of the way back to the moon again.
But THE Sun is written for the Inhabitants
OF the earth; this same strip OF intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty seven or twen
ty-eight times.
If every buyer of copy of The Sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
forded the human race thirteen thousand
years of steady reading. night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea of the circulation
of the most popular of American newspapers,
or of its influence on the opinions and actions
of American men and women.
THE Sun is, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without fear OF
Consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs. which pre-
sents the news of all the world without waste
Of words and in the most readable shape,

the most interesting year In its history. Ii
you do not vet know THE SUN, 1t is high time
to get into the sunshine.
