THE Kennett Square, Pa, Advance,
in an article published elsewhere
says that in that State no official can
be leglslated out OF Office by an act of
the Legislature. 1t 5may abolish an
Office, but only to take effect at the
expiration of the time for which the
incumbent OF the Office was elected.
We have no doubt this is the law in all
progressive States OF the Union, but
popular government by the people is
not permitted to stand in the way Of
the will OF the Democratic party. Thi.

NO fever-the other monkeys may
press around him closely so as to keep

subject Is deserving of greater study.
As to monkeys, men who have them
