a yacht, on which we had descended
the river to the sea, the prominent citi-

The bank was crowded by prosperous

offer their services free of charge for
the removal of the breadstuffs from the
ship to the imperial freight train that

Probably the oldest known speci-

world to-day are the inscriptions on
the door-sockets and brick.stamps
found at Niffer by the Babylonian
exploration expedition of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, which has
recently returned. The brick-s;tamps,
which are of yellow clay, about four
by five inches and an inch in thick
ness, bear the name and titles of
King Sargon and his son, Narim-
Sin, who lived about $500 B. c.,
and they were taken from the mound
which covers the site of ancient
Nippuru, with its famous temple of
Baal. The expedition also found
many other objects Of interest, such
as clay tablets containing contracts,
lists OF goods, temple incomes, art
fragments and images sold by the
temple fakirs These throw much
light on the history Of the people,
as opposed to that OF the kings, and

ACHE
For Attorney-General One Term.
From the Lebanon Rustic,

rfoi- tuc LfeDduou IAuStiC'
From year to year the disposition
grows upon the Democracy of Mis-
souri, to enforce the rule of rotation
in Office as the best and safes
method for the selection of State of
fieials. Recognizing this principle
the Constitutional Convention o
1875 made the Governor and Treas
urer ineligible to reelection to al
immediate second term; and Will.
there is no constitutional provision
in regard to the Attorney General
there has never been an instance il
the history of the State when any
one has been reelected to this office
The rule was engrafted into The
organic law in regard to the Cover
nor and Treasurer to prevent The
first perpetuating himself in Office by
reason of his patronage and if his re-
gime was Objectionable to end il
quickly, and to preclude the posi-.
bility Of the latter in any way mis-.
using the public funds without being
speedily discovered-the fear of dis.
covery and the incentive to honesty
being greater when the office is
definitely limited to one term.
Even more potent reasons, if pos.
sible, exist against the Attorney
General holding second term, and
their force has been recognized and
observed by the people without the
reminder of constitutional or statu-
tory provisions. First, the Attorney
General is the Governors legal coun-
seller, and if the executive is not
permitted to hold second term a
like reason exists for the one who
directs the course of his official con-
duct. Second, the Attorney-Gener-
ais office is the only one, save a
judgeship, to which lawyer alone
can aspire, and it ought, in simple
justice to the members of the bar,
go around. Third, if it is true, as
we have heard it stated, that the
duties are becoming onerous with
the increase of business and popula-
ton, then no one man should be ex-
pected to burden himself with it
more than one term.
The Auditor and Secretary of State
offices are important positions, but
intelligent business men can fill
them with perfect satisfaction, and
while the people have not yet cared
to require that one term in each
should suffice, we expect this to be
in order before many more State
elections. The Railroad Commits
sioner's office is a mere sinecure and
it has usually passed around.
No fair-minded Democrat can
state a valid objection to this grow
ing disposition on the part of the
people to distribute these favors
among those they may deem
worthy.

would die at the end of his term.

For obvious reasons the most re-

of the north, but gradually the lea
ven has begun to work in the west
and is even exerting its influence
upon the most orthodox section. the

everywhere, and means that the peo-

that, this platform or that, because
their whilom leaders have told them
that it is the pre-eminently proper
thing to do. The people are begin
