THE UNNVRITTEN LAW.

| Our esteemed contemporary, the Roa-
| noke Evening World, Is still Of opinion
that 1t would be a dangerous thing for
us to disregard the precedent which has
been established. ana to elect to the pres
idential chair any third term man. Con-
| ceding that there is difference between
! Cleveland and Grant. 1t says that the
! difference in men or the change In condi-
| lions can scarcely operate to disturb the
| reason and wisdom Of the third term pre-
cedent. 1t thinks that the question Is to
be considered without reference to indi-
viduals, for whlc one man might not
abuse the third term, another might
Speaking with special reference to Mr..
Cleveland, our contemporary points out
that Mr.. Cleveland himself once held
that no man should DO elected for third
term. and then goes on to say that Mr..
Cleveland has been notably changeable
in regard to this third term question,
preaching one thing and practicing an
other concerning IT.
We are not so sure that Mr.. Cleveland
has changed his View on this question.
He has not said that he Is willing to
accept the nomination. True he has
declined to say that he would not
accept It, but 1t would be unbccoming
in him to say so at this time, for the
nomination has not been offered him, and
tho little boom that was started by the
Brooklyn Eagle lin his favor has not
gained such proportions as to war
rant Mr.. Cleveland In taking 1t seriously
1t seems to US that he mas shown
high sense of the propreties In refusing
to discuss the matter one way or the
other. 3,Ht afI
But the whole question Is this. and It
is all for which we have commended: The
people rule. The people made this pre-
cedent and they have the right to ignore
1t when they WILL seeing that It is merely
an "unwritten law" If they should de-
sire to put Mr.. Cleveland once again into
the presidential chair. they would certain
ly not let mere tradition stand In their
way; nor should they. If thoy should
decide to elect him. sure they would have
n good reason for it, and when the
great American public decide by large
majority to do certain thing they gen.
orally know what they ore about, and
they are usually right.

THE q. A. RS PROTEST.

The G. A. r. Department of Kansas. in
encampment at Mcpherson, passed res
olution protesting against tho proposed
action of the State Of Virginia to place
a statue Of General Robert Z. Leo In

ton. we are told, protested against the
placing in the rotunda of a statue of
Robert u. Lee or any other person who
has been disloyal to the government Of
the United States and had voluntarily
borne arms against her.
There was a time when such resou.
ton would have brought forth an ndig-
nant protest from the South. but in these
days nobody in the South takes the G. A.
R. acknowledgement when It is discussing
pensions.
