Every now and then we see suggestions
bearing upon the question whether or
not Mr.. Cleveland should be the candi-
date of the Democratic party for the
Presidency again in 1896. Barring his
disposition TO NEEDLE with the politics
OF the States on which The Times has
commented more than once, The Times
thinks Mr.. Cleveland has made model
President If he would discontinue this.
which is really a serious blot upon his
administration, The Times thinks him
entitled TO a place by the side Of our
greatest Presidents But The Times can
listen to no suggestion Of his being
President again. This country is depend
ent upon no one man. Its strength and
its glory arise out of its institutions. One
of the most fundamental and important
Of those institutions is the unwritten
principle engrafted into them by the
common and universal consent OF all
the generations of Americans that have
lived here that no one man shall be
President more than twice. The common
consent of the people to this proposition
is the development Of the idea In which
shall be no one man to rule all by viz
tue OF some commission different from
that given him by the people themselves
Our national life started in opposition
TO monarchy-the rule Of one-and has
grown with this idea woven into every
form Of our national life. More than two
tenures Of the office Of President has
been accepted by the people as a move
towards life tenure of the office, and
they Justly consider that, as in the case
of Napoleon Bonaparte. only the first
step towards Imperialism and afterwards
despotism. Mr.. Cleveland is a great
President. but the institutions OF the
United States are greater still. We
would much rather see those institutions
badly administered by man whom we
can rid ourselves of in four years, than
10 see them jeopardized by breach Of
a custom which involves principle
Let this talk of Mr.. Cleveland Tor a
third term be dropped. He Will never be
President again, and we hope he is
patriot enough to stop it himself IT
goes much further. Indeed all that he
has ever said has been in concurrence
with these Views.

MIR. BLAND OK THE pREsfDENt'>
COURSE

That the House Cf Representatives
should pass a resolution endorsing the
Presidents action in the Chicago riot
troubles was TO be expected and is hard
" worth comment. hut the objections to
his action made hy Mr. Bland do deserve
attention. and it is all-impC rtant mat the
public mind should be got exactly rlsht
in respect to them. ana all the more i'm
portant that a number Of people have
either very ill-deGned ideas upon the sub
ject, or entirely errcntcus cres.
Mr.. Bland cannot be for the rights
and dignity Of the people of the States"
II ore earnestly ou more pertnaciousiy
than The Times is. But it is all-important
that We should know just what the
rights and dignity of the reople of the
states" are and what the rights and
dignity" of the United States are. There
has never at any period of our history
been any controversy over the following
proposition to wit: That the Constitution
confers upon the United States Govern
ment control over certain matters, such
as the making Of war and peace, the
coming of money and regulation of
weights and measures, the regulation OF
commerce between the States. etc, etc,
and that the General Government is SUI
preme in respect to these matters and
clothed with complete authority to do
any and every act necessary TO the most
active lie in each one.
We say that there has never at any
period of our history been any contro-
versy in the country about this.
Mr.. Calhoun. it is true, some
sixty-five years ago. did announce
and contend for n theory that a State
had right TO oppose and nulhfy a con-
stitutional law enacted by the Govern
ment OF the United States. but the doc
trine was abandoned almost as soon as
announced and cannot be considered as a
serious objection 10 the principle as
stated. We repeat, then, that 1t has al
ways been conceded by all parties and
shades of opinion in the United States
that the Government is supreme in its
control over those matters confided TO its
care by the Constitution, and that there
Is no right or dignity OF a people of a
state" that can be infringed when the
Government is exercising one Of those
powers conferred upon il by the Constitu-
uoA. MI. BANDS ideas Of the rights and
dlgnities OF the people of the States"
must stand on one side when the General
Government is called upon 30 exercise
any or the powers that the Constitution
has conferred upon it. and they must re-
main upon one side and entirely out of
the way until the Government has COM
pietely and effectually dealt with the oc-
casion that called for its interference.
This Is In pursuance of the leading idea
OF our institutions. that while a matter

THEN WE CAN,T AGREE.

The Harrisonburg Spirit OF the Valley
n Republican paper, is dissatisfied with
what we have several times stated 10 be
the position of the Confederate soldier to-
wards the question Of secession and the
Union since the war. We shall not
chop logic with the Spirit Of the Valley.
We have not attempted to present those
arguments which We think should csn-
vince any one that the theory Of the Con-
federate soldier is the correct theory We
have only aimed at explaining what II is,
and IL We make that understood, we are
content 10 leave the case TO take care OF
itself.
But the Spirit of the Valley In the
same issue has an editorial article which
we think calls for some remark. 1t says:
While We are in favor Of making
straight Republican fight in most of the

publicans TO unite with the Populists in

irict. this would probably be the best
policy there.
II is true that the Republicans and
Populists are as wide apart as me poles
on most questions OF principle and Of
policy but II seems 10 Us that there
is one over-shadowing Issue In which the
Populists and the Republicans can hearth
