BUTLER'S OPENING.

The opening Of General Butler at Fra
mingham ON the Fourth, for the nomina
ten of his party at Worcester. was thu
first blow in what will probably be warm
er canvass for the gubernatorial nomina
ton than the republican party of Massa
chusetts has ever experienced. From the
reports of the meeting at birmingham we
conclude it was not success for Butler
It seems to have been free and independ.
emit gathering Of people of all shades Of
opinion, the dominant spirits of which
were by no means in accord with Butler,
who was glad to escape their cross-ques-
tioning and sharp thrusts as soon as pos
sible after his speech was spoken. Indeed
It seems that he evacuated the ground
rather hastily. more after the manner OF
General discounted than like one who
had achieved success.
One thing. however, he succeeded quite
effcctually in accomplishing. that was to
assail the present Governor for incapacity
and faithlcssness in his Office, making a
personal issue with his competitor which
viii add force and bitterness to the con-
test. And what is remarkable about the
temperance part of his birmingham DEM
onstration is that while leaving it to be in
ferred that he would enforce the prohibit
tory law more thoroughly thau Wash
burne has, he was entirely dumb when
asked whether he favored the principles
Of the prohibitionists. and suddenly and
quietly stole away upon being pressed for
a reply. If he does not succeed better
with the salary grab that he has with the
temperance question, his friends will be-
gin to despair. IfMadame Vibbert and q
few prohibitionists were sufficient to cause
him to beat retreat from birmingham.
he will be terribly routed when he has to
meet the back-pay charges that will be
hurled in his face by experienced war
rio-s.

THE BRIDGEWATER CONVENTION

THE BRIDGEWATER CONVENTION.
A call has been issued and circulated in
Aroostook for political meeting a,
Bridgewater, this month, which has been
advertised extensively by the democratic
papers, and supposed to be managed in
their interest. This sort of thing is moth
ing new in Aroosteok and is very well I'M
derstood by the republicans, who are sell
dom deceived by any of the tricks Of the
enemy or the complaints Of disappoint-

Bridgewater convention and what the
democratic papers say of it. we have no
doubt that Aroostook will give an average

on "purity" and reforming the party" but

THE visit of President Grant to the ter
ritory of Colorado and her desire toisbe
admitted into the Union as state may
have significant connection. The pub
lished accounts from that section OF our
country indicate that the territory has be-
come the scene of one of those famous
emigration movements that have wrought
such wonders in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and other western states, and promises to
be made a great centre of emigration for
some time to come. Denver, its capita,
has already been made the largest centre
of population west of Kansas and east Of
Salt Lake. In 1870 the population was
4.759, and it is now estimated at IL 900
No doubt Colorado, with a population as
/ large as that of Kansas, will do much
towards Americanizing the mixed popula-
ton OF New Mexico, adjoining it on the
south. aa .'gG .aL sl1tess--t

THE American labor reform league is in
session in New York. The members have
been discussing paper on labor reform
which declares that "beyond the necessa-
ries of life the accumulation of property is
wrong" Resolutions were read declaring
that no adequate solution of the labor pro-
blem was possible without a redistribution
of existing wealth. If we could get fair
hand in the new deal, it would certainly
settle the labor problem as far as we are
concerned. Seriously, the present distri-
button of wealth has little to do with the
labor problem. If the men who are stu
dying out this most difficult of all social
and political problems can originate such
system as will insure the equal distribu'
ton of the results of labor in the future
accumulated capital will soon melt away
under the operation of the scheme. i
they can't do that, then it is useless to di
vide the present wealth of the world, 70
it would soon get into few hands again
The problem of the distribution of wealt
is more than the mere mathematical div
sion of sum total among many claimants
That would be a simple matter.
