PENDANT representing his horse to be all
right and sound, when rs matter of fact,
the animal had frequent attacks of collie,
which the defendant knew and fraudu

The plaintiff says that the same night
he traded the horse was taken sick with
tho collie, and hearing the previous history
of the horse, sent the animal back to de
PENDANT and rescindcd the trade, and de
PENDANT refusing to give up the other
horse, the replevin writ was brought.
The defendant denies that the horse was
diseased, but says that if he was he knew
nothing of 1t; that he had not even fully
traded for the horse and that 1t had moi
come into his possession when the plain

He says. as matter of law, that the plain

PRESIDENTIAL THIRD TERMS,
THOMAS JEFFERSON


(Chicago-Times Herald.)
The New York World in series of edi-
torlals has summarized the views and
political standing of the early Presidents
who were elected for two terms-Wash
| lngton, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and
Jackson-and attempts to point out why
it was that no third term was given to
them
1t is the plaipest of historical tales, and
yet the World fails in it's deductions, and
| refuses to recognize the tremendous in
fiuence of, not only the example, but the
argument Of Jefferson. In fact. it seems
to take delight in ignoring Jefferson and
would have its readers believe that he
had no chance for a third term.
Now, nothing is clearer in American
history than that Jefferson could have
had third term if he had remained
silent. In Schouler's History of the
United States, volume 2, page 166, in
| speaking of Jefferson in 1903, as his Sec
ond term was drawing ito close, the his
| tOrian saws:
Nearly all the state legislatures, Mas
| sachusetts among them, had lately trans
mltted affectiOnate addresses asking him
| TO become the presidential candidate once
more. But his refusal of a third term
was positive. If some period, he had
already written, be not fixed, either by
the constitution or by practice, the office
will, though nominally elective, become
for life and then hereditary"
| Now il anything could influence the
conduct of Madison and Monroe it would
be the example of Jefferson Not even
Washington would be so potent but in
his general letter of declination Jefferson
quoted the example of washington as
fairly conclusive on the question.
| This is the historic side, but the fact is
the real reason why the early Presidents
did not see a third term was because at
the end of their second they were old men,
stated with the cares of office and de-
sirous of ease and repose. Like Prospero,
they sought retirement where every third
thought should be their grave
| When they retired Washington was IS,
Jefferson, &C, Madison, sc, Monroe, 67 and
Jackson 70. Their years of office were
stormy and there was nothing in the mere
power belonging to the station that could
compensate them for the care and worry.
And this particularly so as they could not
| transmit the crown to an heir The his
toric evidence is that every one of them
laid their burden down with gladness.
| The only President we have had who
seemed ambitions for third term was
| General Grant, who was the youngest of
the presidents. Curiously enough, had he
| been reelected in 1880, he would then
| have been the same age as Jefferson.
Madison, and John Quincy Adams when
they were first elected, and four years
younger than John Adams and Andrew
Jackson when they were inauguarted.
It is, therefore, age rather than any
real reason against it that has kept us
| from having third term Presidents. But
| if reasons are to be sought for they will
| be found in Jefferson's declination in
1907, and if anyone is to have the credit
for establishing a precedent that credit
must be given to Thomas Jefferson

MORE RASCALITY.
A CONSPIRACY AGAINST EN-
LIGHTENMENT.
Trying to Abolish the Populist Pub.
locations by Depriving Them of
Present Mail Facilities.

minneapolis Tribune, Aug. 80, 1889
John H. Patterson, of Chicago, guest
At the Nicollet, is in Minneapolis as the
apostle OF reform in the postoffice depart
ment. Mr.. Patterson is out for the aboli-
ton of second-class mail classification and
incidentally he favors the reduction of the
charges of postage upon samples of goods
which could be sent through the mails
much more freely if the rates were not so
high.
Mr.. Patterson works entirely upon the
big business houses of the country, and ig-
nores the popular side of his movement.
He steers clear Of the newspapers, as he
considers that the papers will oppose his
efforts to the last ditch. One of the first
things he does when he gets into any city
Ii to study out the particular men who
seem to be in the lead of the commercial
affairs. If they are big users Of the mails,
so much the better. These men are the
first to receive his calls. He puts to them
an argument somewhat to the effect that
Justice to all the people who have to pay
the letter postage, and have no benefit of
the cheap rates, by reason Of the fact that
they are not publishers of papers or
books.
Mr.. Patterson's ideas are well expressed
in the following, which he is distributing
in Minneapolis as the heading of a petit
ton to congress:
"The undersigned condemn the present
schedule of postage rates because it per-
mits the carriage in the mails of novels,
portfolios, book reprints, advertising
sheets, trade papers, and an endless ton
mage of literary rubbish at cent pound
that entails upon the postoff1ce depart
ments an annual loss approaching $25,0OO,-
900, which, if remedied, would permit l.
cent letter postage, and more thorough
and complete development of our postal
system.
1--WE think that every article carried in
the mails, whether letters, newspapers,
magazines, books or merchandise. should
be charged postage sufficient to cover the
cost of handling and transportation; that
there should be no favoritism to publish
ers, as is now the case, but that each and
every line Of business should enjoy equal
mail facilities and advantages"

NONSENSE IS CATCHING.
BOYCOTTING MONEY-IT IS NO REN
EDY

BOYCOTTING MONEY-IT IS NO REM
EDY.
(The Willmar Tribune)
The mot discouraging feature of the
reform movement is the absence of hard
practical common business sense with
many leading men who pose as reformers.
Take this national bank note boycott
scheme for instance. Grand Master
Workman Sovereign got the idea that the
laboring man and farmer ought to re-
fuse to use the national currency because
the National banking system is founded
on wrong principle. We all agree that
the national banking system ought to be
superseded by better system. But until
we have that better system, it would be
the height of folly to refuse to use the
is good money although not legal tender
for private debt, because the government
guarantees them. To ask the people to
refuse to use them in this time of money
famine would be the same as to ask a
starving man to abstain from eating at
all. unless he could get choice beefsteak.
The proposition to boycott any kind of
money in these times is absurd on the
face Of it, and wholly impracticable IN any
event. Yet some of our reform editors
are applauding this Sovereign idea. But
venture to suggest that not one of them
nor Sovereign himself, dare attempt to
put the idea into practice. Let some one
offer q subscription to those editors in MAJ
tional bank notes and see if they don't
take them mighty quick. Or let one of
thousands of men out of work and with
suffering families be offered work paya-
BILE in national currency and what ought
he to do? Does Sovereign and those that
second his scheme mean to say that such a
man should refuse the work on this
ground and let his family keep ON suffer-
ing? We presume not. Why, then, is
such nonsensical and futile plan of abol-
fishing the national banking system pro-
posed? Can any of them tell? Accord
ing to Sovereign philosophy man should
cut off his nose to spite his face because
perchance there is pimple on it!
It is such impracticable schemes that
gives the old parties a chance to ridicule
the reform parties out of existence. One
Is tempted to believe that such fads are
gotten up on purpose to. do up the reform
party. And every new tangled scheme
seems to be catching. The wilder it is,
the faster it spreads.
The national banking system is wrong
in principle and ought to be changed. But
we cannot change it by making fools Of
ourselves. G., J.
