WHAT BEN Butler Thinks of Hayes
BlUn6ers.
Washington syecial to the Cincinnati Enquirer
What do you think of the administra-
tIons position IN regard TO the Monroe
doctrine r queried your correspondent to-
day of Gen. Butler, who is lust back from
Massachusetts, and was as full OF busl-
ness as ever at his Law Office on Capitol
hill
Il think the administration has made a
mess of it, j" he replied 1T has succeed
ed in making US the laughing stock of the
civilized world. Why, just see what
position we are 10. We have navy which
is not able to cope with the navies of eth
er Spain. Italy, France, Germany or Eng
iand-at least with all of them COM biBed-
and yet We have served notice upon them
all that we intend to maintain absolute
control on the continent. and arc ready to
go TO war about it. although the whole
civilized world know that We are not. We
have pretty fair navy tor the defense OF
our harbors and coasts. but we are in no
condition whatever to engage in general
naval conflict, either at the IsthmGs of
Panama or elsewhere.
Correspondent-DO you think it was
possible to avoid getting into such a posi-
tion2
General Butler-Wby, easily enough
We are not yet ready, as nation. to build
a canal across the istbmus and we do not
want anybody else to build it. That is all
there is in the situation, and all we want
to do is to prevent anybody from
building 1t until we get ready to.
Now, suppose the president had sent TO
congress message, carefully worded, OF
course. something after this fashion: It |
is we'll established policy of this govern"
ment that no foreign nation can be allowed |
TO interfere in che affairs of this continent |
co our detriment. The building of q ship |
canal across the isthmus of Panama would |
be equivalent to placing ships and guns off |
the harbor of San Francisco, and therefore
could not be permitted by this govern
ment. and therefore deem it advisable
that congress should join with the presi-
dent in notifying all foreign powers that
this is the position of this government up
on this question, and that any attempt on
the part of any power to build such canal
would be regarded by this government as
an untrlendly act; and further, that if, in
spite OF this notice, any foreign power
should build such canal across the Isthmus,
tols government would claim the right at
any time when in its Judgment it seemed
hecessary,to take possession of such canal, !,

OUR BUSY MEN.
Here and There Among Our Hives OF
Industry.

The Carriage Blacksmiths' Union, which
was recently formed, is in fiourishing
condition, and the membership is rapidly
growing.
Mr.. William 7. Quinn, attorney at law,
has just opened an Office in the Johnson
building. corner Of Fifth and Walnut
streets. He occupies rooms No. So and 64.
Mr.. Thomas Jenkins. formerly of the
firm OF Jenkins 4 Ludwig, carpenters and
builders is now building several fine houses
on Ninth street, between Cutter and Linn.
Steamboat building is quite brisk at the
present time, and Mr.. Dumont is busy
night and day In his endeavors to fill his
time-contracts for the engine and boiler
work of quite number of boats.
There don't seem to be much of an op-
portunity for our enterprising ice men to
reap even ghost of cake of ice, notwith-
standing their vast preparations. The
manufacturers Of ice machines can now take
their turn.
Mr.. John Rum has moved his store
from the old stand to the east side of Cut
ter street. near Clark. Jimmy is doing q
pretty good business, and will soon have
to increase his facilities to supply his fast
increasing trade.
The fine, new block of houses recently
erected by the Messrs. Huntington, OIL Mt.
Auburn, is completed and ready for occu-
pancy. They are situated on a new street,
Just in the rear Of the Inclined-plane house,
and in easy access to the city.
The continuance of fine weather has been
| very favorable to our builders, as it has
given them an opportunity to finish up
their contracts on time. As is most gener-
ally the case, large buildings have to be
completed on the return of spring.
A row of new cottages is being erected
on Eastern avenue, suitable for small fam
lilies. Some of our, capitalists would find
it greatly to their interest If they would
adopt the plan of building houses for me-
chanics, who can not afford large house.
Respectable mechanics are good tenants.
Our lumber dealers say that the trade in
their line of business is brisking up, as the
beautiful weather we are now having has
encouraged those who contemplated build
ing new houses in the spring to commence
operations now. Quite number OF exca.
vations are being made In all parts OF the
CITY, and in some places foundation walls
have been commenced. The building sea
son is certainly having an early start this
year.
Messrs. Kreimer & Bro, the furniture
manufacturers, whose large establishment
| is situated on the corner of Ninth and
Carr streets, are about to commence the
ection of a new factory on Richmond
street, near the corner of Harriet. When
this new building is completed they will
move their machinery into 1t and occupy
the old factory as a warehouse. The krei
mer Brothers have been very energetic ir
building up good, substantial trade, and
bv the enlargement their works will have
better facilities for supplying their Gus
toners, and give employment to an addi
tional number of hands.

present dangers. Modern civilization,
which has made human life more sacred
and more safe in the lower planes of ex-
istence, has not SO much ameliorated the
unhappy condition Of those who claim to
be ''by the grace of God" born rulers and
magnates. ...M
Imperialism still courts great danger.
The danger of ruling by the assumed
"grace" aforesaid instead Of by the grace
of free people, is increasing year by
year. The Cz ,r of Russia and his fam
lily are in forlorn condition, that would,
if generally known, elicit the commiser-
alton of the world. The fear of assas-
sination has driven Alexander to the
verge of insanity. While he is volun-
tary prisoner at St. Petersburg with his
titled mistress, his wife, the mother of
his legitimate children, is dying a thou
sand miles from home, in the South of
France. She is kept alive only by the
most skilled medical means, and has only
one hope in this life, and that is to be
able to return to St. Petersburg to rec
oncile the bitter quarrel between her
husband and her SOL, the heir to the
throne. The latter is accused by his
father with conniving with, or being in
sympathy with, the Nihilists, while the
heir charges the Gar with dragging the
imperial family of Russia down to ruin.
The gentle Duchess of Edinburgh is By
her mothers bedside, while her husband
is known to be basking in the smiles of a
meretricious favorite. The Grand Duke
Constantine, brother of the Gar, has
practically imprisoned himself for fear of
violence from having made an enemy Of
his brothers mistress, and altogether the
imperial family of all the Russias is in
the most depbrable condition. Its mem,
bers could hardly sell out all their fran
chises to the humblest citizen Of free
country.
