TIE Nep Era says that ''from his youth
to the present time, General Butler has been
known as the friend of the laborer, and
though money men up to this time have
waged constant war against him, he has
risen above every opposition, and now
towers pre-eminately as one of our most
gifted statesmen whose talents could not be
bought for the subjugation of the working
men," The New Era's recollection doesn't
extend back to the time when Butler was
one of the strongest advocates Of hard
money Nor has it read Mr.. Endicott's ar
raignment of him in which he shows that in
the Butler mills at Lowell the wages paid to
the operatives are smaller in comparison
with the profits of the stockholders than
those paid by any other mill in Massaehu-

PERTINENT inquiry by the Belfast Journal:
''What, then, is to be the future of such
men as Pillsbury, Mcclellan, John NJ. Ad-
ans, Geo. w. Ladd and others? If they at
tempt to make a hard-money Democratic
party again, there will be for them nothing
but contempt and derision. If they try to

SENATOR Mcdonald of Indiana, tells an
interviewer that the next session OF Congress
will be largely devoted to revision OF the
internal revenue and tariff laws. The atten-
ton of the patriotic reformers who ill the
Democratic seats in that body will be called
early in the session to the startling fact that
there is growing up in this country bloated
aristocracy of tea and coffee drinkers who
are plot ing to convert this nation into
despotism with tea drinker for king, and a
coffee drinker at the head of the army. 1t
will be shown in the course of The long and
learned debate which will ensue, that the
Republican party, under the false cry
of free breakfast table for the poor has
been really legis.ating for the building up OF
this aristocracy. The distinguished Senators
from Tennessee, and the distinguished Sen-
ators from North Carolina, and the dlstln-
guished Senators from several other Demo-
cratic States will be able topoint out without
fear of contradiction that a great body OF
their constituents are not coffee drinkers,
nor tea drinkers, but whiskey drinkers.
The Democratic Senator from New York
will have no difficulty in showing that many
of hissconsttuents in the metropolis are only
stimulated to assert their rights at the polls
by liberal potations of whiskey and that on
a tea and coffee diet many Of them would
not vote at all or vote the Republican ticket.
A demand will be made therefore for the
reduction of he tax ON whiskey, and the
imposing of a tax on tea and coffee, and
the cry ''Down with the bloated tea and cof-
fee drinkersr' will become as popular in the
Democratic ranks as that which consigned
the bondholders to perdition. 1t will be fully
as sensible too.

The Massachusetts Campaign

The campaign in Massachusetts, may now
be considered fairly opened, although the
straight Democrats have not yet put their
ticket in the field. Butler has so far re-
ceived three nominations with prospect OF
several more. The Greenbackers have nom
mated him, the Democrats, or such OF them
as follow the lead of John X. TarboX, have
nominated him, and the Independents, COM
posed of sore-head Republicans, such as
Usher and Simmons, have nominated him.
The elements gathered round his standard
are substantially the same as those which
met the crushing defeat at the hands OF the
Republican party last year. They are made
up from the discontented classes and the
principal motive which animates them is
desire to smash things. Very few of them
expect to be any better off with Butler in
the gubernatorial chair but most of them, no
doubt, derive good deal Of consolation from
the thought that somebody else may not be
so well off.
The situation bears striking resembla'. ce
to the situation in this State during the
campaign just closed. The Republican can
didate commands the support of large
part of the intelligent and contented classes
who are Republicans, as was the case here.
The straight Democratic candidate when
nominated will command the vote of the
Democrats who are not ready to abandon
their principles for the sake OF temporary
success, and they are amuch more numerous
body than in this State. Butler takes the
rest All the believers in fiat money, all the
men who Join in the wicked and foolish de-
nunciation of bankers and bondholders, all
the so-called labor reformers, all the sharp
ers and tricksters who believe there is a
short cut to fortune. all the trading element
of the Democratic party, all the Republicans
who are sore because their old party refused
to take them at their own valuation-in
short all the elements of discomfort, from
whatever cause arising, are on Buffers side.
The issues are just the same as here. "Down
with the bondholder," shouts the Greenback
part of the following; estate issues are alone
at stake in the canvass shout the Democrats
John K. Tarbox stands for E. F. Pillsbury
and Z. Moody Boynton will make a passable
Solon Chase. The Boston Globe represents
the Argus with this difference, that it sup
ports the man it pretends to.
When we come to consider the candidates
it must be confessed that the Maine coali-
ton was much superior in this respect to the
Massachusetts,. Joseph L. Smith is far
more respectable candidate than Benjamin..
Butler. His capacity for demagoguism is
infinitely less and his ambition much more
moderate. Smith would have contented
himself with being Governor. That was the
height of his ambition. Butler has designs
upon the Presidency. The commotion he
has stirred up in Massachusetts,, he would
like to extend all over the Union and he will,
unless he is defeated this Fall.

The Great Struggle at Fall River to Com

FALL RIVER, Mass, June 25.-The great
sIugg'e between the manufacturers and spin
ners begins tomorrow. The. general opinion
is that the man ufacturers will, win though
the ppinners affirm they Will make 1T costly
victory. The manufacturers held meeting
in the beard of trade rooms this
afternoon to decide whether or not
to attempt to run the mills. All agreed it
would be the wisest courae to continue rum
ming. Most of the mills paid the spinners to-
day in full, and others will do SO tomorrow.
One mill superintendent told his spinners as
they were. paid to-day to Look else
where fer employment. as in fu-
ture no male spinners wonld be en-
ployed at that mill. He also told them they
must vacate their tenements next week, as he
had spinners to take their places. Some few
mills had enough filling ahead to run few
weeks, while others are worked close up.
The spinners held their adjourned meeting in
Carrollton hall tonight. It was not limited to
members of the union, but open to all spinners
in the city and largely attended. Business was
chiefly to hear reports. which were, without ex-
ception, that the spinners should strike in ev-
cry mill tomorrow excepting the Mehacomet,
Annawam and King Phillip.

House Of Representatives

WASHINGTON, June 25.-A resolution instruct
ing the committee on rules to sit during vaca-
tion, for the purpose of codifying and simpli-
flying the rules of the House, was reported by
Mr.. Blackburn. 1t gave rise to considerable
discussion regarding the complex, unintelli-
gible and contradictory system of rules at
present prevailing in the House.
An objection was. intinated by Mr.. Conger
that it might be intended to abridge the rights
OF the minority by making it compulsory on
every member present to vote on every ques-
tion, and thus preventing what is known as
flibustering.
The objection was met by an assurance that
no such thing was intended, and that, in fact,
no rule could be palmer or more obligatory
than the existing rule on that subject and yet
under it it was well known fact how members
of the minority declined voting, and thus OBJ
structed legislation.
The Speaker mentioned it as historical fact
that except in two instances, woman's suffrage
and the liquor traffic, the report of the COM
mittees on rules had never been made on party
grounds -.... -.

Mr. Upson offered resolution calling on the

since the first of January, and also as to the
number and class OF troops under command
of Brigadier General Ord. Adopte:.
BARGE TRANSPORTATION.
Finally the resolution was adopted without
division, and the s. nate bill exempting from
license and other fees, vessels not propelled
wholly by sail or by internal motive power of
their own, was taken up.
A long debate ensued, Ryan and Conger
favoring the bill as measure of justice and
relief to owners of canal boats and barges on
inland waters of the country, and Reagan op-
posing it as piece Of class legislation involv-
ing a change in the laws in regard to coastwise
navigation.
Mr.. Ryan moved to strike out the word
wholly from the bill.
Mr.. Acklin moved to recommit the bill,
pending which, on motion OF MIR. Cox, the
House adjourned, and joint Democratic eau
Gus was announced to take place at o'clock.
The announcement received with laughter
and applause on the Republican side.

RED WING, Mimi, June 25.-The first an
nual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Trotting
and Industrial association opened here this af-
ternoon. The weather was all that could be
desired and the track was in splendid condi-
ton. yesterdays rain having the effect of lay
ing the dust and hardening the track. The at
tendance was limited, which is accounted for
by the fact of its being the opening day. Quite
a number Of ladies attended in carriages and
notwithstanding the oppressive heat, remained
and witnessed the spirited contest to the close.
In both the 800 minute and 2:32 classes, best
three in five, trotted today, the purse was $500
each, $l15 tn first horse, $50 to second and $35
to third.
In the 8 90 class the starters were John Bry-
ants Molly B., b. Barnes Billy Mcneil, K. j.
Lucas Clara L., and VIM. L. Veazie's Captain
Herod. Woodbury. Chief, CRANKY Maid and
JIG. Walker were withdrawn. The race was
easily won by Herod in three straight heats,
Clara L. second, Billy Mcneil third, and Mollie
B. distanced on the second heat.
Time, 2:42115S, 2:3S and 1855.
The race Of the day, and one of the most
closely contested and exciting ever seen in the
State, was the 2:32 class, with the following
starters: J. s. Maynard's Silky B., VIM. d.
Hurd's Ella Earl, and s. A. Browns Indicator.
The latter won the pole, with Silky B. next.
After scoring some QalL OOZeu t1me6 all
three started off well together, which
position was pretty evenly maintained
throughout until on the home stretch, when
Silky B took the lead and passed under the
wire in 2:371a; Ella second.
The secoud heat was equally as closely con-
tested and was won by Ella by about a neck;
Silky B second. Time, 1884,.
The third heat was looked for with great in
teresr, Ella having now become a decided IA
vor1te. After considerable preliminary scor-
ing good start was made with Silky in the
lead, and maintained until after passing the
quarter pole, when Ella pushed slightly ahead
and passed under the wire first, followed by
Silby and Indicater neck and neck. Time,
2:3474.
1t now began to look as if Indicator was set
Ting down to business and would win the next
heat in which case five heats at least would be
necessary to decide the race. It was already
after o'clock, and the crowd had thinned out
perceptibly. When the horses were called for
the fourth heat all three seemed in good con-
dition, and On the third trial got off nicely.
Indicator got IN some good work but was unable
to close up with Ella, who pushed ahead and
came in length in advance Indicator second,
Silky third. Time, 1854. This give Ella
Earl first money Silky 3 second, and Indicator
third.
The programme for tomorrow is 2:2S and
2:37 classes. For the former there are three
and for the latter six entries. A large crowd ia
anticipated tomorrow.
