 In one of the most exciting elections in the history of the town. Monday, no-license went down to defeat by the slender majority of 20. The result IS to be deplored. but the sovereign peo- ple rule and all must abide the result. in the present excited and aroused state of the public mind it will be- hooye the successful applicants for H. cense to live up strictly to the letter of the law. The no license people made a splendid fight. and really won a nor. al victory. They may be discouraged hut not disheartened, and another year will see them up and at it again. It was the largest vote cast in the bis- tory of the town; ll76 votes cast on the license question against l02l year ago. Bank and Railroad streets were crowded with men from the opening of the polls till ' p. m. Andrew C. Barnes defeats s. c. Beach by 50 votes. The result was as follows:

S. Bradshaw made some re-
marks in a speech the other day
in which he dwelt upon the ad-
visibility of absolutely divorcing
the public schools from politics.
What the gentleman said will be
found in another column, and we
believe all thinking people will
say "amen" to it. Politics have
no place in the management of
our school affairs. though politics
or favorltism or some other ground
than merit, has much influence in
keeping some men in prominent
places in our educational institu-
tions when they r entirely cut

organized And hasn't be been

EAvORS LONGER TERM.

Justice Brewer, of the Y. >.
supreme court, believes that the presl-
dents term of Office should cover
seven instead of four years and writes
his views as follows:
"Our executive and Legislative off,
Gals are rulers, while certain llmlta-
tons are placed upon them to prevent
any injurious results from the exercise
and unwise exercise of ruling power.
The ruler is subject TO removal by
impeachment or otherwise. But these
are only provisions which the people,
in framing the constitution, deemed
necessary to limit the extent of his
authority as a ruler. Take the Office
of president, the highest executive
Office in the nation. His term is four
wears, subject to reelection. | he
idea that fixed short term is that OF
preventing permanent injurious re-
suits from the arbitrary and unauthor-
lied action of some ambitious and
unprncipled President, if ever there
should be one such in Office.
1T may not be generally known
that the convention that framed the
constitution at first prescribed preSl-
dental term of seven years, with
Prohibition upon reelection; ano
only as the convention was nearing
its end. and-so far as the recorc
shows without any discussion Of
suggestion of reason therefor, thu
was changed into four years term
and without the ineligibility. In the
Judgment of many men, among whom
| am one, there was a mistake in tina
change.
In the light of history | think
would have been better to have let
the presidential term of seven years
with an accompanying ineligibilty. "

SUCCESS ON THE FARM.

The successful farmer keeps i'm
ported stock which respond to their
keeping and which put on the greater
per cent of meat on the prime parts;
puts all the manure promptly on the
fields; rotates his crops; tile-dralnS
his lands; keeps up good fences;
has good pastures; has good garden;
breeds draft horSef and does farm
work with brood mares and growing
colts; has library with periodicals
and standard works, and musical
instrument; helps his wife in the

dairy cows or mutton sheep, or both.
1t will hardly be contended, how
ever, that unless a farmer does all
these things he cannot be successful;
yet this is certainly true that among
successful farmers as a class most of
these things are done. 1t is not al
ways necessary to tile drain land, for
some land does not need draining,
and as for rotation of crops, that is Of
local application largely. The fact
remains that it is the farmer who
does things that gets furtherest ahead.
