4 PAPER BuLWARk.

Quoting a contemporaries areu-
n.cnt in favor OF the constitutional
amendment extending the term of
the presidency and making the in
cunabent ineligible for more than one
term the New York Herald asserts
its opinion thus:
such an amendment to the con-
stitution would be the mean of saw
ina the country from civil war, be-
cause sooner or later some ambitious
aiid unscrupulous man would bring
about a resort to force to continue
his; despotic power"
This We are Obliged to saw. with
due respect, is insane twaddle. If the
ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS man is
so determined to continue his des-
potic power as to resort to civil war.
will he De halted by a constitutional
prohibition? If he has power enough
to override the constitutional provis-
ions for deciding the election. he has
power enough to override the consti-
tutional provision against his r%eelec-
ton. Moreover. the prohibition will
contain nothing but the verbal re.
straint against the ambitious and UNI
scrupulous man who runs for presi-
ogIl " III ! ~ llIIic dlC ETlnSS on

History contains as many examples of
that kind of revolution as of the 9th
er.
h Times has no objection to
the constitutional amendment. We
think that the two terms each Of
Washington. Jefferson. Madison and
Monroe were beneficial rather than
injurious. and that another term OF
either Of these would not have in.

But what we do protest against is
that n paper provision can prevent

who is willing to overthrow constitu-

and independence Of the people can
do that.

CONGRESSIONAL INCOM-
PETENCF.

There is sardonic comment on the
fact that this evening a large snare
of the working force of the govern
ment will he thrown out of p
ment. and important functions or 1ne
government left in suspension be-
cause the appropriations are not pass
ed.
There is no appropriation for the
army. Consequently. the army must
go without pay, and, strictly speaking,
without r%ations, until sup
plies the lack. The legislative. exec
utive and judicial appropriations are
suspended between incubation and
parturjtion. So that the courts. the
observation-disclosures congress Itself
will be left without funds. and II the
constitutional requirement is to be
observed to the letter. that no money
shall be drawn from the treasury eX-
cept on appropriations made by law.
the whole government will have TO
be closed down . of course. this can
be got around by an emergency bill
continuing the old appropriations a
few DAYS or weeks until new ones are
passed; hut the exhibition of congress
sional procrastination Is not h less
signal.
II is a remarkable fact that in a
presidential year. when the parties In
might from ordinary politi-
cal saga city he expected to make a
show OF business efficiency. they
should present that remarkable eX-
ample Of incapacity. Tomorrow con-
gress will have been in session seven
months. With ordinary business dill
gence the congressman should have
passed all the appropriations by this
time. But the paradoxical fact pre-
eents itself that when political intel
ligence should induce them to attend
to this business duty they have been
too busy PLAYING politics to attend to
business. The house first wasted
months by passing tariff schedules
which they did not expect TO he en-
acted. Then they played politics by
passing appropriation bills with riders
that provoked vetoes Then they
played politics at conventions for the
past two weeks. during which time
the business Of congress was halted.
Finally the thing has proceeded to
a climax that. so far as present
recollection goes. IL unprecedented.
II has not been unknown in the past
for to dawdle SO that regu-
lar appropriation bills were uncom-
pleted AT the end of the fiscal wear.
Therefore the precedent Of continuing
the old appropriations for a short pc
rod was established. But his time
our legislators have heer SO wrapped
nr in their politics that they could
rot give the few minutes necessary
IN each branch for continuing the ap-
"""nriatinns for two ar three years.
In this respect. we believe. the pres
CIT exhibition of congressional inco,n-
rat"nce surpasses all precedents-

he has had a vital part be set aside.
MY personal interest in the Great
Northern remains as keen as ever.
The financial interest Of myself and
family in it is larger now than II ever
was at n time in the past and any
change would more probably increase
than diminish 1t. While I shall be no
longer the responsible head Of the
Great Northern I will contribute
~henceforth such counsel and advice as
may seem best from one no longer
holding the throttle valve or control
ling the brake.
Most mel who have really lived
have had. in some shape. their great
adventure. This railway is mine. I
feel that a labor and a service so
called into being, touching at so many
points the lives Of so many millions,
with its ability to serve the country,
and to firmly established credit and
reputation, will be the best evidence
of its permanent value and that it no
longer depends upon the life or labor
Of any single individual"
