THE JJSDIAHA STATE S3NT1L. WEDNESDAY. SEPTJll3EU 28. 1887.

BEN BUTLER TALKS.

The Besten Achccite S;eiki Leniently of tb.8 Aurchiats. A Conoparison "With the 13omt-Throwers of the BebollUa Civil Serviee and Massachusetts Elections. Globe Democrat. "Is it true. General," asked the reporter, that your visit to St. Louis is Wie result of an arrargement with Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court of tbe United States, who, ii is said, is to meet you here for the purpose of tearing your views upon the questions involved in the Anarchist Qßjes?' 'NothingJ replied the General, "could 1)6 fur tb er from the truth. When last I heard of Judge Miller he was in Philadelphia, attending the Constitutional Centennial celebration. I have not seen him, however, and certainly have not commacicated with him upon the question of the execution of the Anarchists." "Is it not true that you have been approached with reference to the contemplated appeal of the Anarchist cases to the Eapreme Court of the United States? Ys; that much is true." "Do joa intend to assume the task?" "I am not prepared to answer that question, becauee I have not examined into the r.ter fully. What I might discover upon clo3 inspection is not to be guessed at. However, from a superficial knowledge of the case agaiast these men, I am cot sure that aa appeal woqM have standing in tie Supreme Court of tbe country. It would be necessary before the matter could be transferred to that tribunal that some question of national law should be involved. It is not enough that the record of the trial should be black with errors, for these errors have reference simply to the jurisprudence of the State In which the trial took place. It may be, however, that the construction of the national law has been violated, and, should this prove to be the cafe, then the matter is proDerly within the purview of the United States Courts. "I would consider it my duty," said Gen. Butler, "to do what is possible for these condemned men if I had fair reason to believe that I could asai3t them with honor to myself and my profession. I make it a rule never to turn away from an appeal to save human life, and I see no rtaacn why I should hesitate in this case, if, as 1 have said, the Federal law has been, in the least degree, encroached upon wrongfully in securing their convicti ja. "These convicted Anarchists," continued the General, "are men iaraorant of the eustoms of our country. Under the influence of fancied wrongs, aggravated in their minds by misrepresentation aid misapprececsion of the character of our institutions, they lashed themselves into fury and threw a bomb, or caused a bomb to be thrown, by which some men were allied. The cry of the people is 'Hang them! Lynch them!' "Now," ,aid the General, laying his index finger alongside his nose, "suppose we checkour pace a bit in the mattar, aad look back a few years. It isn't so long a;o that bombs were being thrown in this country right and left, and the men of the cation were being mowed down like so many sheep. The men who threw the bombs under this conoition of aff lirs were cot poor, ignorant, misguided foreigners, but men of brains. I might almost sy the brains of tbe nation. But they wem the brains of the nstion gone wronj. Now. this is the point I want to make, and I think it a good one, and I think that toe readers of use Globe-Democrat will think it a good one. These bomb-throwers of the rebellion were forgiven. NobiJy imagines that they weren't fully conscioi of the enormity of their crime against the Government and even they would resent the suggestion that they had thrown bombs for four long years of blood without knowing what they were throwing them at, or why. And yet who is it to-day that asks that the rebels shall be hanged? Th es threw bombs at me by the too, and yet I am asked to take them by the hand, to erase from my mind the recollections of the numerous occasions when they tried to blow me into smithereens, and embrace them as I would so many brothers-in-law. At the same moment that this doctrine is being ; preached, and through tbe success of which the arch-conspirators acain&t the nation's life are to be brought back into the fold, there is a howl for the blood of the seven poor wretches who were parties to the throwing of a bomb in opposition to principles they did not understand, and do not understacd even now. I think that this outcry should be silenced. There is too much of it that Buggests the thirst for blood, and an appetite of this character is not to be eaconrngad in this great country. Oar business with these people, if the law will warrant it, is to correct their absurdities and make them to comprehend that they are in a country of freemen, and must abide by the rule of tbe majority. These being my principles, I think I am right when i aay that I will represent the cases of these men if the question of Federal law is involved in the crimes charged against them." The reporter asked him his opinion of the civil service campaign of President Cleveland. "There ia something in this civil service humbug," said the General, "that is juet a little too much for my comprehensian. I fail to understand why it is that aa ad ministration will waste its time in forcing upon the people of the country a system which ia repugnant to the sentiment of their institutions. Nine out of every ten men in the National House cf Representatives are now and always have Dee a opposed to civil service reform, and ia the benate three out of every four are against t. I never have seen aar public man, who was in favor cf it. It's undemocrati ? entirely mischievous, and opposed to the spirit ef our governmental institutions." "The President," said the General, with tn accompanying smile that helped the light from the Raa jet to make things in the room look cheerful, "ia all rig-" bet he don't do all right." EJ Ibe interview was interrupted t. inta point by the General's dusky attendant who handed him a dispatch from Boston. "Ha! fca!" h exclaimed, "they've nominated lie nry 3. Lovenng for Governor of Massachusetts on the Democratic ticket, and and," added Gen. Butler, bursting Into a hearty lauhg, "they've adopted a resolution recommending offices to Dsmorat. Well, that's the funniest thing I've heard of since I was in the army. Bat no, I see, by looking a little more closely, that the resolution recommends Democrats for Offices." Eut,to get back toour eubject,"resumed tbe General, "it ia said we must have the officers of Government selected solely upon the results of a literary examination, and this in face of the fact that the theory of our Government is clear that every man, every boy in every cottage, can fit himself to be the President of the United States, not only in theory, but in practice. What it true of the Presidency is true ol every other office that is subordinate to it. If with statesmen In Congress we will say, who are fitted for their poaitf on by wide experience and natural ability, the country can get along swimmingly, why can't the Government exist if the merely executive officers and clerks have not a higher degree of literary attainment." "There is no business house in all the the land who measures its employes by their knowledge of literature, unless it be a house devoted to the publication of liter, store. In educational attainment aa the jsrequl&ite the banks come the nearest to

the present rt qulrements of the Government. Their clerks and tellers are selected on account of their proficiency in maths-: matics, and among these gifted gentlemen are to be found more defaulters than in any other avocation in life." "This examination of omcers upon their scholarly attainments waa applied to the troops during the war of the rebellion. It was undertaken at Washington, and proved to be a dire failure. Every drunken, worthless scoundrel who had been well brought up and well taught, could pass the examination, and was appointed as an officer, especially over the colored troops in Virginia. But I did a service to my country when I got rid of these lncubi by appointing the best captains for field officers and selecting men fitted to the positions of lieutenants, sergeants, etc " "The great cry now is that a member of Congress must pot recommend to the President any person from his Congressional district for government office. This is at variance with the will of the people. By their votes they elect members to represent them at Washington In every respect, and the men so elected are certainly the proper

persons to suggest government appointees from their own districts. It is their duty to tell the President of these people and their claims and fitness, and it is his duty to listen. The mutton chep whiskered politicians who are prone to ape the customs of Britain will find that their policy is out of place In America, and when this question is once submitted to the people the overwhelming verdict against civil service reform will be felt, and that very keenly." "What would be the ultimate efiect of civil service?" "One-man government!" exclaimed Gen. Butler, and he brought his fist down on the table beside him with such force aa to rat tie the oblong glasses that graced it. "Suppote," said he, "that this absurd system had been in effect at the time of the breaking out of the rebellion, and nobody turned out for a year, except those Kho were appointed after a civil service exsrnination? What would have beco m of us? Under the rules nobody could have been turned out of office under a year, and I'd like to know what we would have done with the rebels. All the offices were filled with them. I remember that there were four photographs turned off of the plan of fight at the battle of Bull Run, ond one of these got into the bands of the commander of the rebel forces. That's the reason the latter 'had a picnic' in that engagement. By the time civil serv ice rules could have been put into working order in this national dilemma, we would all have been blown to Jericbo. There is but one way," said Gen. Butler in conclusion, "of carrying on a representative government, and tbat is that the gov frnment must be in tbe hands of the friends of the admiifctratiop." LETTER FROM SENATOR VOORHEES Flat Contradiction to Recent Statements 'o Democratic Factional Fight in Iidiana Washirgton Special. Hon. Lycnrgns Dalton, Postmaster of the Hotte cf Representatives, has received a letter from Senator Voorhees, which was provoked by the several interviews with Federal office-boilers printed in these dispatches last Friday morning. Mr. Dalton showed the letter to the Eaqairer representative to-day, and after considerable coaxing was persuaded to allow tbe letter to be printed in the Enquirer. Mr. Dalton is alore retponsible for its publication. It is as follows: Tebr Haute, Isn., Sept, IG, 18S7. Hon. L. Dalton : My Dear Sir: The interviews published in the Enquirer of Friday last as coming from Mr. Stockelager and other friends in Washington have attracted general attention Lere, and are naturally of more than ordinary interest to me. I am grateful, ot course, tor all the kind things said, but there are some expressions in these interviews which I regret, and in which I do not concur. I know of no factions in tbe Democratic party cf Indiana. I am not a party to any factional contest. I never have been in the past, and I never will be in the future. Nothing could be more unjust to me than the promulgation of such an idea. Governor Gray or any other Democrat has the ni questioned right to aspire to ba my successor in the senate or to any other position in the gift of the people, aad certainly no complaint will ever be heard from me. My relations with Governor Grsy are entirely friendly, personally and political He ia a man of ability, and should be receive the Democratic nomination for Vice- President or for any other office, no one will support him with more energy and zeal than I will. All this talk about a factional fiht among Democrats in Indiana is not only without foundation, but it is absurd. 1 think you Know that if any considerable portion of the Democracy of this great state shall manifest a wish for my retirement from the public service, there will be no reluctance on my part. I would go with cheerful contentment, and with no other feeling at my heart than that of gratitude for all the honors of the past thirty Tears. My contests thus far have been ajjalnst the enemies of the Democratic party, and never intide of it, among friends. Com mencing when I was twenty-eight years old, I have been nominated seven times as a Democratic candidate for Congress, and never by ballot, always on motion, without opposition. I have held four commissions as a Senator, one by appointment and three by election, and am without opposition in my own party. I tnbmit that it is oo late now for me to go into a contest within the dear old partv for any position it has to bestow, I care not how high. I can take my place as a private in the ranks whenever neces sary, and at least render a good example in upboldisg its principles and organization. As to the use of my name in connection with the race for Oovernor next year, or for Vice-President, but little need be said. I cee in it more the partiality or kind friends than anything else. Yon know exactly now x reel on the subject, i expect to be Ib the campaign of 1333 for the triumph of the party and for the elevation of others to Its hixYi places. Hoping yon and yours are well and full of the blesings of life, I am, as ever, faith fully your friend, D. W. Voorheis. f he Personntor of theSaior. The boy who was to personate the Savior in tbe Summerville (Ga.) passion play was hph Harris, a colored boy, waiter for Mr. Lacgdon. He is a likely-looking black bov, about twenty-one years old. "What's your name?" waa asked. 'Eph Harris." 'Were you to have represented the 8avior to-night?" "Yes, boss; I was to be a holy man this night, but the wfcite folks done stop us. had my costume all flzed. I waa to wear a white gown and big gold crown. I was to be on the stage and tbe ten virgins around me, But they done knocked that out. "Boss, do you think the earthquake will be here to-night?" asked Eph. Being assured that there was no chance cf an earthquake, Eph became talkative, and said: "They done knocked out another act where I waa to be de Lord driving Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden. I was to be a good man sure this earthquake night." Very Elastic Philadelphia Becord. To want free vthlaky and prohibition at one and the same time involves an elas ticity of principle and conviction very trying to men's consciences and judgment; but the .republican party is equal to it.

GIVE C3 MOKE THU5BEE. The Waterspout Hotel at Bethel. Me., was Struck by lightning and entirely destroyed a few weeks ago. Even the im mortal eods can't stand some of our ter restrial names. Now, if they would only send a few cyclones and earthquakes to sweep off the face of the United ßtates a few thousand jonesvuies ana smunvuies, hundreds of outspoken atheists would believe in an all-wise and overruling Provi dence, and probably join the church. A great many of our names which do not inaicate enongn special ana uuiDreaaing wickedness to call down the wrath of the skies upon them, do indicate an infinite amount of finite foolishness. And still we don't want all the fools killed off. Think what a lonesome place this world would be with only yon and I living ki it. CREDULITY IKSCLTED. What is the sense in writing things that people cannot believe? Now Many at t wrote "The Tacha of Many Tales," when everybody knows that a pacha has none; and here comes Rider Haggard with A Tale of Three Lions,"which everybody knows is a thing impossible outside a dime runsaum, and then even there It would probably be doctored. A lion with three tails there f light be, but three with one never! A LONG-FELT WANT. "What we want," says the editor of our esteemed cotemporary. "is less buncombe and more brains." We thought that was what he wanted. It is or should we say, it are little straws like this that indicate the approach of another Presidential canvass. PERILS OF TH1 BALLOT. "Hundreds of voung men will vote for the first time icxt November. Toe newspapers ot all parties are printing long trades beginning with this statement. They are correct; that's all right: you can vote the first time, young man, without any trouble. Bat you keep your eye peeled when you try it the second time, or they will run you in, sure. A5D 6TOr AT SEVENTEENTH?. "Feople don't come out to hear me," complained the parson; "I wish I knew how to fill the pews." "Preach a pewer grepa)," tnggested the deacon, and the parson excemm. nicated him on the spot. ERRONEOCS DEDUCTION. "Ah, yes Willie," said Uncle Ben, tenderly, "yea have indeed a pretty horns. and I love to see your rabbits, and your wbite kitten, and your playthings, and jour pony; but there is something about 3 our home tbat I love to see better tban all these things; something that makes me come here; something that would make the bouse very lonely if it were gone; do you know " "Oh. yes," shouted Willie, "I know; the hired girl. OS DRESS PARADE. "How do you like your new teacher. Henry?" asked mamma. Henry, who was a good boy three years azo: "Aw, she's a grand stand player, she is. She lets us do like we please on'y when a director is yisitin' de school, and then she's on de coach lines all de time. What's went wid my grammar, sa-ay?" CKCHAISED AMBITION. 'Love you!" exclaimed the haughty girl "love you? Once I did; I loved you as never woman loved the man she idolized before. Once I loved the ground upon which you walked. Once I could have dud for you nearly. Once I would glad ly Lave been your slave ; now I could spurn you as you kneel there before me." "Ob, pity me! Love me again! What have I done?" "You," she cried, her proud soul mounting to her eyes "you? Nothing. But I ha, ha, ha-aa I have got me a type-writer!" TELL TOE TRCTn. "Why do you always put Yours truly' at the bottom of a letter?" asked George Washington, looking into the dictionary to see if you spelled 'repeckedSlty" with one 1 cr two, for George was the dandy twirler with his spelling. "Because," said the noble Bcshrod, "that's usually the only true part of the letter. Always sign your own name to your letters." And George nodded his head intelligently as he "backed" his letter to Lord Farefacks. WANTED, A NEW DIVIDE. When a good young man who has been caving his salary for two weeks to get enough money together to hire a livery horse and buggy long enough to take his best girl far enough out in the autumnal hills to gather a bale of poison oak and three-fioger ivy, reads that the Texas Llva Stock Association owns 375,000 horses, he thinks there is something radically wrong in the organization of Bocleiy, and joins the communists. TEE TR0DDE5 WORM. "What is your favorite flower?" asked the landlord'a daughter. "Iris n5gr," sadly yet resolutely replied Reginald Threads, who. was her fuher's honored guest, at regular rates. "I do not comprehend," she said, with slightly lifted brows, "What is its significance in the language of flowers? ' "No quarter," be said, bitterly, and then she knew that the head waiter had gone through him: but it wasn't until after he had been rod two days tbat she learned from Professor Yarbs there was no such flower as the Black Flag. MAMMON SIRTISQ TWO MASTERS. "Monev," remarked the President, as he deposited a roll, the fruits of judicious combination "money is powar in the concrete."

The area of tbe United States is 2,070,000 square miles. Ho! No wonder a fellow has such an all-howling time finding hla collar-button when it rolls out of sight. THE FITNESS OF THINGS. A Numerous Colonel met a dignified Governor, walking down street arm in arm with a Itenomination. The Colonel extended hia hand. "Sir," said the Gov ernor, "yon are too common; I am the Governor, and there is but one of me in the State at a time." ''True," aaid the Colonel, who waa a large majority; "that 1 all the State can stand." This fable explains why governors are not elected in flocks, like cockroaches and aldermen. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. Clarence!" exclaimed his mother, "come to me quickly, dear. How palyou are! How strangely you look! Yoa are ill: I smell tobacco. Oh, Clarence, you have , a tobacco heart." Clarence shook his head and gasped feeblr. "Nome," he said, moving away in the direction of tbe lonely cow barn, "some, 'taln't my h-heart." And with white compressed lips he was eon behind the barn; not lost, but gone behind; though lost to sight, to

"Haven't I met you before?'' asked a sadlooking delegate at a State convention.

"Old Abe," the whilom war eagle of the 8th regiment, Wisconsin volunteers, is ons of the attractions in the collection of war relics now on exhibition at the Exposition building. He is only stuffed and does not loo" as big as when he accompanied the eagle regiment on southern battla fields. A wooden tablet attached to his perch bears this inscription: "IIatcb.9d February, 18C1; died March 20, 1331 " E. H. Webster, of Greenbusch, Sheboygan Connty, lieutenant of Company B, of the 8th regiment, gave a Milwaukee Beatinel reporter some information about the old bird. "When cur company Cime into camp at Madison we were told by the mea of Company C, who brought the eagle with them from Edu Claire, that be was taken from his nest by an Indian and presented to them by him. I have real a more romantic tale of his capture tiaco then, but this story is undoubtedly correct, as nobody then thought of inventing the pleasant fictions about the famous eagle which have since become so numerous. Oar regiment broke camp at Camp Handall, in compliance with an order to go to Missouri, and while marching through St. Louis the eap!e broke its siring and flew away. We all thought that, that waa the last we would see of him, and Col. Murphy offered to give $25 to anyone who would bring him back. You kno Murphy, don't jou? ne left our regiment and was put in charge of a brigade, and surrendered to the rebels at the battle of Holly Springs. But I am digressing. "While in Camp Curtis at SI. Louis one of tbe boys pointed up into the air at a large bird which was approaching ua, and said that he'd bet that it was 'Old Abe.' We fixed a perch on a camp chest, and very eoon the eagle sailed down and took his place on the perch. He had been funis?, and was wet as a rat. We put him on a siring again and sometimes let him go as he was always sure of returning. Occasionally we let him loose during an engagement, and then he would fly about overhead or sit quietly on his perch. I believe the confederates brought down some of his leathers once, and after that he always screamed and acted mad when a fight was going on. General Price, of the confederates, once, raid he would rather capture tbe eagle then the whole regiment. " 'Old Abe' was a nuisance in some respects. He was a thieving bird, and when the rations were distributed had to be watched or he would steal the best morsels away. He liked beef and all kinds of meat, when there was scarcely any for the boys. Ha was up to all sorts of mischief, and wounded some of the boys who had been spared by rebel bullets. They would plague him and he would peg at them, frequently drawing the blood." After the regiment returned from the war "Old Abe" was well cared for at Madison until his death, which ensued from natural causes.

Once upon a time I listened, Listened while the quick tears glistened 'Neath the drooping lids that hid them, as a little prattler said While a father s arm caressing.

"God 'is good and Jesus blessed them, And his barred arm careroed them ;" Murmuring thus he touched tho child-brow with a passionate 6 wilt kiss Of the little one beside him; Of the angel sent to chide b im; And a thank-you prayer, ah, never more his liviog lips shall miss.

There is no mystery about it at all. First, in the cosaEletion and finishing of the new Suite onse; in the construction of the new insane asylums and other legitimate ezpenffs there has been a heavy drain upon the State treasury. Then, the last Legis lature failed to pass the revenue bills, which bills were dnly passed by the Democratic Senate but failed in the Repnblican House. It the State treasury Is empty no one ia more to blame than the Republican House cf 1SS7. Then, again, lor six months or more, the manKgemwt of the fitate finances has been in the hands of the Republican Auditor and Treasurer of state. These officials have had control of the money of the State. If the treasury is empty let them explain.
