attack it, for continuing in place an efncient
Officer, but personal reasons appear stronger than
public considerations, even with ourpure- minded
seIt-sacriacing, and straightforward neighpor.
This is sad, again.
Since the President has not appointed Every

A temperance picnic was got up on the
4th in birmingham, Mass, 10 allow Gen.
Butler to put himself right on the record
"a a temperance man for the nomination
of Governor. A crowd of some 700 was
present, but there were a good many
doubteps there. The General did no;
arrive until about the middle OF the after
noon, and some thought it not sale to
take the Generals remarks alone, but
wanted him to sign pledge before speak
ing. This point was well taken. II Is
easy to talk for bunkum. and dema
gogue may utter smooth words. VIVA
is the life-the home character OF the
man? II every one "who stays fat cattls
should himself be fat, much more should
he who advocates temperance in publis
be a true, honest, faithful total abstinence
man in private.
The speech Of Gen. Butler treated
principally of railroads and very little o.
temperance, and what there was Of the
latter per,ained to the enforcement o. the
lasc rather than the discussion of the
principles Of The temperance reform.
Some politicians can only see the pro
hibitory principle in the temperance re-
form. Because this is the political aspect
of it. they consider it OF the most i'm
poItance.
There is no greater farce THAI for q
man who uses intoxicating liquors to as
sumo the role of temperance lecturer.
He must first reform himself. A man
who claims the right Of drinking wine al
home. as Gen. Butler has tho reputation
Of doing. may desire to see the liquor
law enforced as a police regulaiion-that
is one thing-he may do this and not pro-
less 10 be : temperance man-but he
cannot, with proprieiy, be teacher or
lecturer on the subject. lie has no right
10 advocate reform Of which he is not
the exemplar. in his swn person-sr il
he does. he simply talks and carries no
weight with his utteranceS because he
has nothing with which TO back them up.
II Gen. Butler. in political speech OF

properly enforced, he would receive due
credit from those who agreed with him
but we doubtif he can make capital pure

Nor did the General discuss the Salary
increase or back pay question. of which
he was the champion in Congress. lie

temperance or finances. On these he is
