Wonders Of the Sea-,
The sea occupies three-fifths of the
earth's surface.
A mile down the water has a pres
sure of a ton to the square inch.
1t has been proven that at depth
of $500 feet waves are not felt.
The temperature is the same, vary
ing only trifie from the ice of the
pole to the burning sun of the equa
tor.
AT some places the force of the sea
dashing upon the rocks on the ehors
is said to be seventeen tons to the
square yard.
The water is colder at the bottom
than at the surface. In the mapy
bays on the coast of Norway the wa.
ter often freezes at the bottom before
it does above.
If box six feet deep were fllled
with sea water and tho water allow.

would be two inches of salt left a,

depth of the ocean to be three miles
there would be layer OF pure salt

Waves are very deceptive, to look
at them in a storm one would think
the whole water travelled. The wa

motion goes on. Sometimes in
storms those waves are forty feet
high and travel fifty miles an hour
more than twice as fast as the swift

THE oNE-TERM IDEA.

Senator WAsHBURN Is quoted by a
New York paper as saying that a
gentleman in that city, who was lately
a candidate for president. told him that
he did not believe that another preSi-
dent would be renominated and re-
elected for the next one hundred years.
1t is fair to infer that the gentleman who
made this prediction was CHAUNCEY
Nj. DEPEw, and that Mr.. DEPEw's
purpose in making it was to impress
Gen. HARRISON with the folly of at
tempting to secure second term.
Still, while Mr.. DEPEw's motives may
have been selfish, he nevertheless
voiced the popular sentiment, for there
is a growing opinion that one presidential
term is enough. The third term idea
was so Objectionable that even Gen.
GRANTS popularity could not over
come it; and even the second term idea
has only been tolerated out of respect
to the precedent set by WASHINGTON.
The great abuses in the civil service are
mainly due to the desire of the incum-
bent OF the executive Office to perpet-
uate his lease of power, and those
abuses will last as long as the
second term temptation continues.
There can be no successful civil
service reform until the presi-
dency is limited to one term, and
this idea is being so firmly fixed in
the public mind that the president who
is now able to succeed himself must be
either man of extraordinary ability
and purity, or the opposition must make
so grievous a mistake in its platform or
candidates as to amount to public
crime.
with the limiting of the presidency
to one term comes the other suggestion
of extending the term to six or eight
years. which can only be done by con-
stitutional provision. If the presiden-
tial term were extended and the incum-
bent of the office rendered ineligible to
reelection, the civil service problem
would be solved, and in addition
thereto the county would be relieved
of the recurring quadrennlal excitement
and business disturbance incidental to
a national election.
These are facts that are recognized by
all our people, and yet it is singular
that there is not man in the upper
branch of congress who is statesman
enough to propose all amendment to the
constitution Incorporating the one-term
principle. AS Gen. WAsHBURN has the
subject on his mind, and in favorable
light. the GLOBE takes the liberty to
suggest to him that he has now an Op-
pOrtunity to win his senatorial spurs by
proposing all amendment of this char
acter, and by pressing it until he has
secured its adoption.
