II II to be noted that while Mr..
BarAS In bis three campo igns for the
Presidency solemnly and frequently
afirmcd that he would be satisfied with
one term. there was no word Of lim,.
tation In any Of the platforms upon
which be ran for the ONCE except In
the platform Of 1890, which declared
II to b the unwrltten law" that mo
man should be eligible for a third
term" The presumption IL that this
reminder was intended for the ear Of
Gsovn CLEVELAND. who was serving
his sccond term, although In the letter
Of acceptance In 1854 he had written:
~wnen We consider the patronage Of
this great ONCE. the aliurements OF power,
the temptation to retain public once once
gained. and. more than all. the availa-
bihty party finds In an incumbent whom

Gus danger TO that calm. deliberate and
intelligent political action which must
characterize . government by the people"
Nj. CLEVELAND got stolidly over this
view Of the matter; and when Mr..
BRYAN harped upon single term II
was to impress the gullible. or he would
have put the Limitation into the 1905
platform. which he was In a position
to dictate. Mr.. WILSON in his letter of
acceptance, unlike GRovER CLEVELAND,
did not commit himself; nor in his
campaign did Mr.. WILSON initiate Mr..
BsYAN In that willy gentlemans re.
nupciation Of any ambition to occupy
the White House for eight yeara No
one doubts. not even Mr.. Bryan, that
the President Is planning to succeed
himself; In fact the literature" put
out In his behalf proves It. The plat.
form will not, and need not, deter him /;
everybody knows that the one term
plank was buncombe.
II the Administration turns out to be
the success that Its partisans are pre-
maturely claiming for It the triumph
will be personal one. with the. logical
reward Of denomination for Mr.. VIII.

proves to be the failure that many Re.

Nice-President MARSHALL has been
considerably annoyed because confusion
has arisen between himself and a gen
tleman called THOMAS r. MARSHALL. who
Is the proprietor Of n cafe In Washing
ton. The Vice-Presidents particular
complaint apparently is that conslgn-
ments OF wet goods" have been made
TO him at the Shoreham Hotel which
were intended for his namesake. The
fierce white light OF publicity which has
been thrown on the affair will probably
result in the difficulty being composed.
But we shudder 10 think OF what would
have happened II, instead OF the Vice.
President. the Secretary Of State had
been confused with the proprietor OF a
cafe. Only the other night Mr.. BRYAN
narrowly escaped quafi'ng a glass OF
champagne In mistake for grape Juice.
and there will almost certainly be those
who will see In the mere proximity OF
the deadly beverage to Mr.. BRYAN's
hand evidence OF a diabolical plot on
the part OF his political opponents

followed by the delivery Of q consign-
ment Of wet goods" at Mr.. BRYAN's

almost apart from the ancient, and With
the clearing away Of the Sums that
formerly huddled together at the foot
Of the Acropolls the most vital part u
the city that PEAicLEs rebuilt IL left
untouched BY modern encroachments.
The Athcnians, therefore, can apply
themselves to the tnsk Of making the
new city a worthy successor to tho old
without the fear that In doing 20 they
may have TO destroy some Of the beauty
that Is left from the past. The plea SAINT
duty Of designing plans for the remod-
elling and Identification Of the modern
Athens has been entrusted to an Eng
lishman. THOMAS MANSON. lecturer on

versity, and II there be any patriotic
regret that the commission has been
awarded to a foreigner. the native
Athenian has only to turn again to his
Thucydides to find the award justified
out Of the mouth Of PEnIcLEs. for there
he reads that because Of the greatness
Of our city the fruits Of the whole earth
flow In upon us; % that we enjoy the
goods Of other countries as freely as
Of our own"
The plans Of reconstruction are com.
prehensive and allow for the expected
rapid growth Of the city. They include
the undertaking Of various public works
and the erection Of public buildings.
and one Of the most interesting and
welcome features Of the scheme Is the
proposal to make a boulevard along
