REASONS AGAINST A THIRD
TERM

Resolved, That in the opinion OF
this House the precedent established
by Washington and other Presidents of
the United States, in retiring from the
Presidential office after their second
term, has become, by universal con-
sent, part of our republican system
OF government, and that any departure
from this time honored custom would
be unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught
with peril to our free institutions. y
The foregoing is the full text of a
resolution passed by the National House
of Representatives SO late as the 18th
of December 1875. 1t was introduced
by Mr.. Springer, a Democrat from the
State of Illinois, and was called forth
by the fact that President Grant, the
then popular idol of the Republican
party as the hero of Appomattox, was
figuring for third term as President
and SO strong was the sentiment in
favor of the resolution that, notwith-
standing Grants great popularity at
the North, and the fact that party
lines were sharply, even bitterly,
drawn on all other qustions, men of all
parties united in its passage, and in
House composed of 251 members,

was time. But Japan forced the hand
of her big neighbor, called her bluff,
upset her schemes by the simple ap-
peal to force. We have often heard
OF force as the weapon of the strong.
1t may also, on occasion, be the
weapon of the weak.
In fine, Russia undertook, in hold
ing ManChuria, TO make diplomacy
and the threat of force serve the pur-
pose of force; she has undertaken, in
fighting Japan, to beat a sea-going
navy with navy made up of inland
sailors; and she now undertakes to
make superior numbers and wealth,
separated by the breadth Of a con-
tinent from the scene of action, tell
against superior intelligence and
equipments with the inestimable ad-
vantage of being on the spot.

Effective Filtration.
The Experience of a Northern City in
Purifying River Water.

Inc experience OF northern City IL
Purifying River Water.
The problem of getting pure water
for the use of great cities is one with
which the American public has only
recently had to grapple. and it will
have TO be solved, not in certain spe-
cific cases, but in all cases, before
this country can count itself safe
from typhoid and other filth diseases.
People who have not studied the
workings of filtration are sometimes
skeptical as to the effectiveness OF
this means of purifying the water
supply, and this halT-expressed doubt
probably has something TO do with
the sluggishness and Indifference of
most cities to the necessity of filter
ing city water
In this connection the experience
OF Lawrence, Mass, is interesting.
OF course, it is only one Of several
cities which have filtration plants,
but the exceptional difficulties which
were met by filtration in this case
make it worthy of attention.
The city is supplied with water
from the Merrimac River. which
winds through thickly settled coun-
try, several factory towns being sit
uated on its banks, and consequently
gets the refuse of half a dozen cities
and towns before it reaches Law
renee. Manifestly conditions are ripe
for typhoid here, if anywhere. The
very idea of drinking water polluted
by all that sewage is unpleasant But
since the water has been filtered, ac-
count has been kept of the typhoid
cases in the city, and they have been
found to be due to two causes-infect-
ed milk and the careless use of until
tered river water. Ignorant mill
hands living on the banks of the
river occasionally use river water
which has not been filtered, with dis
astrous results; but the people who
use the water provided by the city
are practically safe from typhoid and
kindred diseases.
Anyone would think that in view
of this record, and the appalling ex-
perience of Philadelphia and other
cities with typhoid epidemics, every
town in the United States would set
about the construction of a filter
plant 1t is really much cheaper TO
keep well than to pay doctors bills,
but that is a lesson which we Amer
leans seem slow TO learn.

The Chicago Official.
Declared From Receiving Flowers From
His Admirers.

The Chicago city council has ruled
flowers out of the council chamber.
1t appears that there has been a Gus
tom, something Ike the one which
prevails in Washington at the open
ing of Congress, of piling the desks
of city legislators with flowers when
they begin their labors. The reason
given for the abolition of the custom
is that it makes the function seem too
much like a funeral. and, besides,
some of the recipients of flowers bear
a reputation which makes the gift
ludicrously inappropriate.
There is probably some sense in
this argument, although many of the
problems tackled by the Chicago
municipal government are of an odor
which might make the scent of tube
roses ineffective as a counteracting
fragrance. There are esthetes who
object to flowers on the dinner table,
on the ground that the scent of roses
and the aroma Of roast chicken are
incompatible. But flowers on the
desks of Chicago councilmen would
be more like bowl Of violets on a
free lunch counter.
And yet the givers of floral tokens
of this kind have way of suiting the
gift to the object. At first it may
seem absurd to give roses and mig
nonette to a politician who has won
his way through being the paid agent
of syndicate of graft; but the peo-
pie who pay for the roses and mig
nonette do not present them in a
loose and graceful bunch; they cut off
the heads of the poor things and have
them stuck into sockets in a floral
design" in the shape of locomotive,
or a grain elevator, or hog, accord
ing TO the business interests with
which the recipient is identified
They do not look so very inappropri-
ate then.

Years.

Protestant Episcopal Church OF St.
John the Evangelist, has arrived from
Naples aboard the steamship PrinZ Adel-
bert.
This is his first visit 10 New York since
he was ordained a priest He embraced
the Roman Catholic faith in 1895.
After the death of his wife four wears
ago he made preparation TO Join the
priesthood. He was admitted TO holy
orders in November He is seventy-two
years old. He said:
Il was the oldest candidate ever ad-
mitted TO the priesthood. Ralph Hoyt
became a priest when he was sixty-fiVe.
Now his son, q prosperous LAWYER
whose wife died recently, is studying for
the priesthood.

The Pulitzer Gift.
The Object of the Pulitzer College of
Journalism Explained. :.

The Object of the Pulitzer College of
Journalism Explained. :.
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer has written an
article explaining the idea which he
had in establishing a college of jour
nalism in New York. Most veteran
newspaper men have grave doubts as
TO the possibility of a college of jour
nalism preparing anybody for news
! paper work, for though they may not
all agree with Horace Greeley that
! college graduates are the poorest
kind Of horned cattle" they yet fail
TO see how any college course can ac-
custom the student to the peculiar at
mOsphere OF the newspaper Office.
With this, however, we need not deal
at present. The point which is some
what noteworthy aid new in Mr.. Pu-
litzer's article is that he believes a
college of journalism would tend TO
establish an esprit de corps among
newspaper men, so that graduates
would be ashamed to engage in work
contrary TO the ethics of journalism,
and would refuse TO associate them
selves with newspapers devoted to
some private interest as against the
public good.
Either Mr.. Pulitzer is very limo
cent when he says this, or he is talk
ing to the gallery-that large gallery
which holds the opinion that news
paper editors will do anything for
money Some of them will; there are
men in every profession who will do
anything for money. But it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether Mr.. Pulit-
zer's enterprise will raise the tone of
journalism any higher than ii already
is The tone of journalism depends,
in the last analysis, on the tone of
the public, and it would be just as i'm
possible 70 run newspaper on a re-
form basis in a thoroughly corrupt
community as to make an ice-cream
saloon pay in hades.
There is a good deal of esprit de
corps among newspaper men now
when one considers the average man
of the craft. The betrayal of conf
dence and the deliberate prostitution
of talent is at least as rare among
them as among men of any other pro-
fession. AS 10 a newspaper being de-
voted TO some private interest as
against the public good, it could not
take that course and keep either its
subscribers or its advertising very
long A dry goods shop might as
well try to make money selling goods
which nobody wanted to buy, in the
interest of some manufacturer. The

New York State convention. Now some
of those who made such a grand rush
TO get into Mr.. Hearsts automobile are
wishing that they had been content TO
wait and walk while longer.
The Parker sentiment in the State is
said to be growing. There are those who
favor holding a boilers convention and
electing delegates to ST. Louis to con-
test the right of the regular Hearst dele
gates to a seat In the convention, on
the ground that methods were employed
in pledging the State to Hearst which
are not compatible with Democrats
principles
The movement just now lacks a leader
TO take the initiative, and is so far con-
fined to talk. Those who are doing the
talking seem to have the idea that in
case the Parker-Hill forces have a ma
Jority IN the national convention az now
seems probable in case a contest is
made they may throw out the Hearst
delegates and seat the contestants.
