FROM NEW YORK

GEN. BuTLER on THE PRESIDENT : POLICY
New YORK. Nov 1.-The Sun publishes
an interview with Gen. Butler, in which he
attributes the republican success in Massa-
chusetts to the efforts Of custom house
officials. who did two months work in two
weeks. Butler says he does not know what
the Presidents civil service order means
IL it Means rule for certain citizens Of the
United States to direct and guide private
actions. it is cOntemptlhle If it
means new rule of political conduct
it is wrong in principle. It the
Southern policy was neces SIty, a. Senator
Iloar says it was. it is neither to be objected
to nor commended. If it insures the paci-
iication OF the South and induces 4 portion
of the people to act with the republican
party. the policy is a success but there arc
no signs that it sccOmpli-hes this object. NJ.
Butler accounts for the Southern praise of
the President n he would account for a per-
sons flittery who wanted Office. Personal
ly, Mr.. Butler thinks the President honest
and means well.

Democrats, and 10 the utter destruction OF
their bill, defeated in succession. Washing
ton specials say that the Democrats in charge
of the bill have agreed to make propositions
to the Texas men which, they think, will
secure its passage, but it is now certain that
the bill will be amended in the Senate il the
House passes it, and so the chances are all
in favor of defeat before the bill gets
through the conference.
1t is significant fact that every Demo
crat from those States whose Democratic
Governors called on the President for troops
during the railroad riots for aid, and re-
ceiyed them, voted Friday to reduce the
army, some of them squarely taking the
ground that the army must not be used to
"oyer-awe laboring meI."
