BUTLER'S GRIEF.

How the Ne,cs of His Sons Death affected
the GenerGt-His Hopes flashed.
Correspondence St. Louis Globe Democrat
General Butler has received a severe blow in
the death of his son Benjamin, and those who
have met him since his bereavement say that
his tense and rugged nature has been relaxed
and his robust temper much mellowed. He
had expected to introduce his boy into prac-
tice at the Boston bar this fall and 10 have
shaped his future so that he could in time step
INTO the large and lucrative business which his
father has built up. The general expected
hat his son would keep alive the name of Ben
Butler, and would keep in existence the place
of that name in the legal profession. These
hopes have all been dashed to earth. After an
illness of ten days, in which the kidney disease
which seized Lieutenant Butler made curious
" swift progress, the young man died at Bay
View, his fathers country seat. General But
Ter was absent in his yacht America, and he
came sailing up to the wharf at the edge of
his grounds the day of his boys death The
yacht, which had been refitted, had behaved
spendidly at sea, and as she came into bar
Dor in a spanking breeze with dash and spirit
her owner was as proud as a new husband. He
stood out upon deck as she was moored and
cast his queer eyes toward the wharf, where
he saw his former partner, Mr.. Mcdonald,
his chief clerk, Mr.. Fox, and several others
standing. He chreerily called out to them
that he supposed they had come down to steal
ride to Boston in his yacht, and said he
would be glad to have their company if they
behaved themselves. Then looking up he saw
the flag over his house at half
mast. "What, he said, in astonlsh
shment, "the president is dead J" He OBJ
served that his friends did not answer, and as
he looked frem one to another he saw by their
solemn faces that something had happened
He seemed puzzled, for he had left his son IN
good health, though delicate, but as if by
nremonition he quickly asked, "How's Benz
No one dared TO Tell him that his favorite son
was a corpse. Mr.: McDavitt took his arm
and said, Don't be alarmed, general" The
shock seemed TO shake the old man like
blow from a strong battery. He did not say
another word, but walked into the house and
took seat by his dead boy. aud sat for soma
time holding his lifeless hand. He seemed to
find no expression for his grief in tears, and
bore his pain in silence. The sight of the ole
general standing side By side with his son
Panl, who is dwarfed in stature, when the
body was lowered into the grave, was one that
moved many to pity and some to tears.

THE SENATE,

The United States senate will meet to-
day. A president and secretary of that
body must be elected before any other
business can be lawfully transacted
There are three vacant seats, caused by
the designations of Messrs. Conkling and
Platt and the death of Senator Burnside.
The successors of these gentlemen have
been duly selected, but have not quail
fed by taking the oath of Office. They
can no more properly and lawfully enter
upon the discharge of their duties with
out this formality than collector of rev.
enue or postmaster can do so without be-
ing sworn in, filing bonds and con-
forming to other prelimlnaries. The law
provides that ''the oath of office shall be
administered by the president of the SEN
ate to each senator who shall hereafter
be elected, previous to his taking his
seat" Now, how can senator qualify
for duty before president of the senate
is chosen, who may administer the oath?
1t is indeed curious, as Rarper's Weel5y
remarks, that there should have been any
discussion of this question. Yet there
mas been discussion of the question, and
the lncendlary and revolutionary element
In the Republican party has urged the
Republican senators to insist that the
Democratic majority of qualified sena
tors shall either elect Republican pre-
siding officer or shall allow the unsworn
senators to participate in the election.
which would secure that result. A dead.

parliamentary filibustering have been
threatened, and all sorts of
arguments used to BULLDOGS

THE legislature does not need TO elect
a senator with any haste to fill the va
cancy caused by the appointment of Mr.
Window to the cabinet. 1t has been as
serted that Senator Edgerton's term will
expire the moment the extra session con
venes. This is an error. The constitu-
ton says that the senators shall be elected
according to law and the law reads thus
''In case a vacancy In the office of United
States senator happens from any cause, during
the recess of the legislature of this state, the
governor shall appoint some person to fill
such vacancy until the session of the legsla-
ture next thereafter and until a successor Is
elected and qualified"
Consequently if the legislature refuses
to 60 into an immediate election, or if it
adjourns until winter, Mr. Edgerton will
still remain in office.

The Legislature which meets to-mor-
row can remain in session for sixty days
if it so elects. The Constitution makes
no distinction between regular and extra
sessions but says no session shall exceed
sixty days. The law provides that in case
of an extra session the pay shall not con-
tinue but thirty days. In other words
the session may be protracted for sixty
days under the Constitution, but the pay
will cease at the end of the thirtieth day.
1t is safe to assume that there will be no
great effort to prolong the session beyond
thirty DAYS.

Piles,

Piles are frequently preceded by sense o.
weightin the back, loins, and lower part Of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi
gestion are present, as astulency, uneasiness
OF the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi.
rsIion, producing very disrgreeable itching
particularly at night, after getting warm il
bed, is very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching piles yield at once on the
application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy
which acts directly upon the parts affected,

THERE will be considerable weeping
and good deal of scramblng when it is

sion as lawless and unprecedented as 1t
would be unwise and unnecessary.
One of the arguments of the revolu-
tionists is that when the newly chosen
senators take their seats the majority will
be Republican; therefore the Democrats
should allow a president to be elected,
whose political affiliations are with the
Republican party. AS matter of fact
the senate will be tie when full, but to
this sophistry Harper's Weekly replies:
The argument that newly elected senator's
when sworn may change the party majority
of the senate may influence the vote of some
senotarS of the organizing majority, but if
not, it certainly ought not to delay organiza
ton. Ii, however, such fact be u reason
that senators should disregard their party
feeling, it would follow by similar reasoning
that where the elections of an intermediate
year show a popular majority against the
party majority in congress, that majority
should renounce its party action. This seems
10 us fundamental misconception of Repub-
licau representative government.
Continuing its able article in favor of
law and order the Weekly says: :
Moreover, in the present case, when Repub
lIcans complain that tho Democrats will or
game the senate, they must remember that
such mishap is among the consequences of
the surrender made by Mr.. Conkliug and Mr.
Platt when they resigned because they could
neither control the President nor the senate
in tue discharge of their respective consttu-
tonal duties. If Messrs. Conklipg and Plat
had not betrayed their trust, President Gar
field would probably not have been assassi-
mated, and the Republicans, with Senator
Davis vote, could have elected president of
The senate. 1t is not becoming in a party
which has lost an advantage b, cause of the
Iecreancy of its own chosen representatives to
appeal to the other party not 10 use the power
which that recreancy has placed IN its hands
The Democratic gain will be the temporary
executive headship of the government pending
an election in the event Of the President 5
death or inability. This might last for some
months, and it would raise questions which
recent experience has shown to be undecided
But there can be little doubt, we think, that
If upon the assembling of the senate the Re
publican senators entitled to vote were in a
majority, they would elect a Republican pres
| ident even if they knew that his first duty
| would be to swear in newly elected senators
who would give the majority to the Demo-
Gratis. We can hardly expect our political OPP
| DoneHts to be more forbearing, and they will
undoubtedly elect Democratic president of
the senate.
The Democrats have sensibly deter
mined to organize the senate without Re-
publican dictation. Let the Republicans
take the responsibility of filihustering if
they choose. Their surrender will only
be question of time and the Democrats
can afford to wait. The Democracy did
not manufacture the opportunity, but
they propose to improve it.

ARTHUR AND SHERW4N.


The whirligig of time having tossed
Mr.. Chester A. Arthur into position
and prominence which nobody, Qeast of
all John Sherman,) ever expected to see
him attain-the relations of the new
President and the old Secretary of the
Treasury have become subject of much
comment A country correspondent of
the Chicago Herald, a Republican paper,
asks for information on this subject which
the Herald declines to give-or rather
gives incorrectly. Now, the facts of the
record are simply these: Mr.. Sherman,
Secretary of the Treasury, suspended COL
lector Chester A. Arthur from the exer-
else Of his functions Sin order to secure
IN honest administration of the office. -
These are Mr.. Sherman's own words and
they formed the concluding sentence of
his letter of removal, which latter docu-
ment no doubt Mr.. Arthur now treasures
among his archives as an interesting
relic. In the campaign last fall Mr.
Sherman "took it all back" by explain
ing that he had never reflected or in
tended to reflect on the personal honesty
of Mr.. Arthur-or words to that effect.
That is to say, Mr. Arthur did not steal
himself, but permitted his subordinates
to steal. This would seem to be dis
tinction without any great difference to
anybody but John Sherman. But it
should always be remembered that Mr.
Sherman is the happy possessor of one of
most elastic consciences yet discovered
even in this India-rubber age.
