believed will be more nearly what was pro-

in the Mckinley bill. and it may also be
made the means through which a certain

General Harrison on the Presidency

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
will discuss "The Presidential Office"
very COMPREHENSIVE in his "This
Country of Ours" series, in the forth
coming February Ladies Home Jour
nal. He will detail the provisions
and methods of electing a chief magls
trate, and will have much to say BEAR
ing upon the eligibility of a president
for reelection; Will give his views as
to the length Of the presidential term,
and express rather decided opinions
relative to the annoyance to which
presidents are subjected from Office
seekers. The articlei is practical, based
upon experience and observation, and
is very timely. General Harrison be-
lieves that the fears expressed by the
trainers OF our Constitution that the
power of the Office is such as to en-
able an ambitious incumbent to Sc
cure an indefinite succession Of terms
have never been realized. 'In prac-
tice the popular opinion has limited
the eligibiIi y Of the president to one
reelection. But some of our leading
and most thoughtful public men have
challenged the wisdom of the four
year term, and have advocated six
years, usually accompanied with g.
prohibition Of second term. And
unless some method can be devised
by which less considerable part of
! the four-year term must be given
to hearing applicants for Office and
making ppointments, it would be
wise to give the president, by extend
| ing the time, better chance to show
what he can do for the country. 1t
must be admitted, also, that ineligi-
bility to a second term will give to
the executive action greater indie
pendence. Itseems unlikely, however,
! that any change in the presidential
term will oe made unless some unex-
pected event should stir into action
a thought that is now of a theoretical
rather than practical cast"

Politics i'm the Judiciary.

For judge of the Thirteenth Judicial
circuit, to succeed Warham Parks,
named by Governor Upham as the
successor of the late A. Scott Sloan,
The Juneau Independent suggests the
name of James j. Dick, g. well-known
Democratic lawyer of Beaver Dam,
and urges that the Democrats of the
circuit make q partisan nomination
Its argument for such a proceeding
occupies nearly two columns and it's
excuse for the Democratic party to
nningle partisanshlp with the judiciary
is that the Republicans have estab-
lished precedent in this regard. The
Independent asserts that 'ever since
the admission of Wisconsin into the
union, the Democratic party has
maintained Il record-a consistent,
unbroken record-in favor of non
partisan Judiciary" This is rot.
The Independent needs but to turn

The Presidents Financial Plan.

The motives which are supposed
to appeal to the national banks to
effect this increase of note issue
would be that the existing tax on
their circulation should be reduced
from one per cent. to a fourth of one
per cent, and that they should be al
lowed to issue one-ninoh more notes
than they can now issue on whatever
bonds they deposit with the govern
ment as security for their circulation.
But if they won't take the ninety
dollars they are now offered, why
should they jump at hundred dol
lars?
We do not hesitate to say that
these inducements are wholly insult
ficient to increase the actual circula-
ton of the national banks by single
penny, nor will they make the cur
rency any more elastic, or adequate
In volume and distribution to the
wants OF those sections of the coun-
try which are specially in need of in
creased banking capital, loans and
notes. They fail to express an intel
lectual apprehension on the part of
the president, either OF the nature of
the evils which attend a sudden and
sharp contraction in the volume of
the circulating medium or the quality
of the advantages with which a bank
ing system must be endowed in order
to meet the wants of so vast and
diversified population as that Of the
