The discussion of a third term for President Cleveland is in active pro- gress, but it is only just to say that it is confined to Republican and Demo. cratic organs who cordially dislike the President. That Mr. Cleveland has ever entertained the idea of being a candidate for another term we do not believe. Even if he were ambitious to reverse the unbroken custom of the nation, he could not be blind ,to the fact that that custom is irreversible. It is the unwritten law of the Nation that no man shall be chOsen to the Presidency beyond two terms, and the sentiment is deeply seated in the convictions of the American people. Washington could have been chosen to a third term if he had not peremptorily declined it, and the fact that he refused a third term has established an immut- able law that none of his successors can violate. General Grant tried it under the ablest political leadership of the country in 1880, and the result was only humiliating defeat for a man who had been twice chosen to the Presiden- cy by overwhelming majorities. Jefferson might have made a contest for a third term in 1808 when he volun- tarily retired. He was then altogether the strongest man of theNation with the people. Washington was not among the living, and Jefferson‘s leadership even commandul greater enthusiasm than did that of Washington. He chose to retire in obedience to Wash- ington’s example, and the fact that he lived for nearly two decades after his retirement proved that he was not in- fluenced by inability to perform the duties of the Office. Madison, who succeeded J efi‘erson, also accepted the example of Washing- ton, and from the time ofhis re-election in 1812 the question of his election to a third term was never thought of or even discussed by himself, or his friends, or Monroe succeeded Madi- son, by practically a unanimous vote. He wOuId have received the unanimous his enemies. and was re-elected in 1820 'vote of the electoral college of the country but for the fact that one elector withheld his vote from him for the avowed reason that he believed Wash- ington should stand alone in the history of the country as the only unanimously elected Chief Magistrate. His second term continued the era of good feeling exhibited in his rc-election, but no one thought of givxng to Monroe a third term, although he lived a number of years after his retirement. - General Jackson was another possibil— izy in a successful contest for a third term if he had chosen to seek it, but he imitiated the example of Washington by delivering a farewell address to the nation at the close of his second term, distinctlyfieclintng to be considered a candidate and obiviously assuming that Washington had fixed the unwritten law of the country that no President should serve more than two terms. Had Lin- COILl been in his second term during the war there might have been some excuse for a departure from the unwritten law to which all had previously bowed, but had Lincoln lived to the close of his sec- ond term, with all his popularity he could not have been seriously consider- ed as a candidate to succeed himself, nor would he have permitted it. It is entirely safe to assume, there- fore, that the two terms for the Presi- dency is the unwritten and irrevocable law of the Republic, and no man of Cleveland’s intelligent and just concep- tionacould for a moment misunderstand it. ‘ President Cleveland has three times been a candidate before the people, and each time received an increased popular majority. He was first chosen in 1884 by 26,000 majority; in 1888 he received 96,000 majority, although he was defeated in the electoral college, and in 1892 he received nearly 400,000 majority. _ _ If any previous President had been elected to a third term Mr. Cleveland would be a possibility for 1896, notwith standing the estrangement from; his ' cause ofa number of leading Demo- cratic politicians, but as the record is unbroken and the unwritten law inex- orable, surely be will not for a moment entertain the question of being a candi-l date. Only some most extraordinary national peril could make the people of the country seriously consider the question ofelecting any man to . the Presidency for a longer period than that accepted by Washington. Whether it shall be called sentimental or logical, it is the accepted and unchangeable law of the Nation, and that settles it. Winnlpau‘K Firemen. The Norwalk Mills Fire company hold a practice meeet every Saturday after. noon. The company is officered as fol- lows: A. E.IEllis, chief; W. McAllister, foreman ; Peter Brown, lst assistant; James McGerry, 2d assistant. The pow- er used for forcing the water is a large steam pump in the factory, and the boys say the Phceuix steamer is no- where on a squiit against it. The com- pauy has not yet secured uniforms other than caps but expect to do so at a no late date. WAITING FOR EZETA. A Warm Reception “’1” Be Given Himif He Should Go to Salvador. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.—The steamer Celia has arrived from Salvador’s ports. Captain Johnson reports that the little republic, the control of which is so ardent- ly desired by Antonio Ezeta, is in a state of feverish unrest. Rumors have been thick at all the ports at which the Celia stopped concerning the coming of Ezeta to capture Salvador. A warm reception awaits him. “They are up in arms there, ” said Cap- tain Johnson. “At Acajutla, La Libertad and La Union the beach is full of soldiers, and at the new ports there were 30 guards, all waiting for Ezeta. They told me that the friends of Ezeta were suffering for his acts. No less than half a dozen very wealthy men were on the chain gang, but what charges were made against them I could not find out. ” According to the captain, Bustamente, Ezeta’s aid, was shot, and there was no boiling oil poured on him. It is said that Ezeta has many friends in Salvador, but that they are afraid to open their mouths lest they be imprisoned. These men have firm faith in their leader’s return. They think he can get the assistance of Diaz of Mexico and with this backing Barrios of Guatemala will not dare oppose him, so that he will be able to march through Barrios’ country and get into northern Salvador. A Serious Omission. - ALBANY, Oct. 4.-——Corporation Counsel Rudd finds a serious omission in the new election law. According to the law, cer- tificates of city nominations must be filed with the city clerk and the county clerk must prepare official ballots. The law does not provide for any way in which the county clerk gets the official knowledge of what the city nominations are to be. Mr. Rudd suggests, however, that the city clerk certify. The Rev. Mr. Lum’s Inquest. RUTHERFORD, N. J., Oct. 4.-—-The in- quest into the death of the Rev. S. Y. Lum, whowas killed by an Erie train at Rutherford, was held. The jury returned averdict exonerating the engineer and fireman. from blame and censuring the Erie company for not providing proper protection at the crossing, and also recom- mended that all trains be run through the town at a reduced rate of speed.
