The President as a Politician.

r The infamy of the spoils system
has long been recognized by the
American people, and it is again
being brought forcibly to their
minds by the attitude of President
Cleveland on the silver question.
We find him ordering ofice-hold-
ers to oppose the white metal and
by this he means that failure to
do as told will send the offenders
head into the basket. Where are
the Presidents boasts of not max
ing of public Office an engine for
the furtherance of personal ends.
Not a few persons believe that
the President is fishing for q third
term. This can hardly be true.
Mr.. Cleveland is no fool, aud he
knows that there is in the Ameri-
can bosom q deep seated opposi-
ton to three terms of the presi-
dental office, and it is not proba-
bic that this feeling will be reno
we'd, at least in the generation-in
point of fact for many generations
to come. tt
There is no evidence before the
country that the people are lean.
ling towards the one-man power
Quite the contrary. Everything
point to the spirit of Independence
among the people being as strong
as ever. and as long as we find this
to be the case third termism will
remain a fantasy, an empty dream
in which few souls may revel
but which will never become po
pulsr. st .1s.a .'ei,
Mr.. Cleveland, after the end o.
his presidential term, will become
q back number. He did furnisl
the remarkable example of beinl
out of the White House four year
and returning there, but this doe'
not mean that the American peo
pie are willing to make his recor'
even more eventful, indeed, phe
nomenal, by creating him Presi
dent three times. ..
Goodbye, Mr.. Cleveland. sfte
the end of your present term. Tw

can citizen; it must satisfy yours
