DEBT PAYMENT.

The debt statement for November | is one
of unusual interest, because it shows for the
first time the issue of gold certificates of the
new series. But this issue in no way affects
the amount of the debt less cash in the Treas
ury, which decreased 15,G29,181 in the
month of October, and has decreased
500. 423, AIS during the four months of the
current fiscal year. The average for the four
months is therefore $50, 100000 monthly,
whereas the unprecedented reduction during
the last fiscal year was at the rate OF
$40, $40, 900 monthly. Should the decrease of
debt continue through the fiscal year at the
rate thus far, it would exceed $lS1 900, 900.
Yet the revenue in October was only $780,
CSC, 1888, against $36, 574, 219 during the same
month last year, a decrease of $3,900,000;
the decrease in customs was only $254,O 200, in
internal revenue over $l,000,00O and IN the
miscellaneous receipts over So, 100000. Prob
ably the complete returns for the month will in
crease the receipts of the latter class. The
decline in the receipts from internal revenue
is indirectly the result of the attempt to get
the whiskey tax reduced at the last session of
Congress, and of the later operations of the
vhiskey ring, which seems from recent dis
The apparent increase in Indebtedness dur
ING the month is due to the issue of about
S2l, 100000 new gold certificates, and
about 100000 additional silver certii-
Gates. This increase of silver certificates
oc cured during the first half of the month,
when it was not yet possible to obtain geld
certificates to the amount demanded. In the
two weeks 50, 105, 900 were issued at points in
the interior on account of deposits made here,
and So, 6l3, 900 more were issued directly to
city banks Since October II, the receipts at
the Custom House here have largely decreased
the amount outstanding, but not yet, it seems,
as much rs the issues early in the month had
increased IT, much larger amount of gold
certificates would have been issued, had the
Treasury made an effort to accommodate the
public IN that particular by regulations similar
to those made for the buyers OF silver certih

BUTLER IND M4SSACHUSETTS

The Old Common wealth is in o perceptible
hutter. She does not believe General Butler Is
going to win his suit, but she has dreadful mis-
givings. She reasons it all out every day that
it is imp possible for him to be elected Governor,
and then she throws up both hands and ex-
CLAIMS: "GoOd gracious, suppose he should
be after all !" This moving performance has
been going on with constantly increasing pa
thOs for month, and we regret to observe in
the outside public a disposition to regard it
with amusement There are among the specta-
tors some 80 lost to all sense of dignity that
they are able to say it would be great fun to
see Eutler elected Governor of Massachusetts,
We trust no New Yorker will venture into
Boston and express such sentiment in an audi
bic voice. He would be drowned like the tea
in Boston Harbor.
There Is apparently no great ground for be-
lieving Butler is any nearer election this year
than he has been several times before. The
people who are leading in the reaction against
boss SIN are not in search of Independent lead
ers of Buffers kind. Furthermore, there has
been no bossism in Massachusetts, and no at
tempt on the part of the Administration to med
die in its party affairs. The only thing which
can in any way help Buffers candidacy is the
lethargy of an off-year and this is likely to be
dispelled laI gely by the wholesome fear of his
possible success. He has been going over the
State for years, crying out that 1t is rotten to
the core and that nothing except his elevation
to the GOvernorship can save it, but fewer peo-
pie believe him now than when he first began to
shout To elect him Governor would be to
admit that all he has charged is true, and
a large majority Of the voters are not willing to
do that. There is probably no other State in
the Union whose affairs are managed more
honestly and inteligcntly than those of MasSa-
chusetts. and there is no other which can boast
a more honorable line OF Governors. General
Butler shows a lack of his usual sagacity i'll i'm
peachng the honor of such State while suing
for its favor. The Old Lady might have been
much moro yielding if he had not called her
bad names before beginning his wOOing.
While. therefore, there does not seem to be any
great probability of Buffers success, it cannot
be denied that to the carnal mind there is much
that would be very funny in the spectacle OF
BENJAMIN +. Butler as Governor of Massachu
sets. He could only hold the Office one year,
but we feel safe in saying that it would he the
r,ost remarkable year in the annals of the State.
The outside world might enjoy it, but there
would be no fun in it for Massachusetts. She
would take it with tremendous solemnity, and
would never be quite herself again afterward.
But what q shndy it would be for Butler

JyTEVPER4TE TEVPEP4NCE.

It seems probable that a considerable number
of votes will be cast for Temperance tickets in
the coming election, not particularly i'll New
York, where a want of interest in tLeir State
ticket on the part of many Republicans is an
especial cause but in other Eastern States as
well. Where such votes may have an influence
upon State legislation, or upon the enforcement
of laws already enacted the movement cannot
be condemned as irrational, even when it may
rightly be opposed as inexpedent. But in
d number of Congressional districts Temperance
men have nominated candidates for Con-
gress without any expectation of their election.
1t cannot be said that this course is reasonable.
1t is not aimed ut candidates whose personal
habits make them Objectionable; In nearly all
these cases, on the contrary, the candidates OF
the other parties are men whose conduct gives
no offence i'll that respect. The tendency OF
these nominations is to defeat Republican and
elect Democratic Congressman, and there is no
Prohbitionist who imagines that his cause can
be helped by the election of Democratic Con-
gress. The motive avOwed, by sincere aud can
did men, is to compel the Republican party to
pay greater respect to the wishes of Temperance
voters in future elections.
ably nl-iudged. The support of Temperance
candidates for Congress will not tend to pro-
duce more friendly but a more hostile feel
ing, on the part of the Republican voters from
whom the Temperance cause must draw nine
tenths of any strength that it may hereafter
have. These voters, who heartily favor any
practical measure to prevent or lessen the evils
of intemperance, are generally intelligent and
conscientious men. Because they are so they
cannot be bulied b minority of their own
number. They deliberately Judge that it is not
now practicable to accomplish any good by vot-
ing for Temperance candidate for Congress.
An attempt to thrash them into different
course hereafter Is extremely unwise and can
not fail to repcl them. Especially when they
see that Temperance candidates are encour-
aged and kept in the field by Democratic man
ayers, pulled in Democratic newspapers, and in
all respects treated as Assistant Democrats. sim
cere Temperance voters are led to look
with extreme distrust upon any future
movement in similar direction. 1t
would be likely to ALLEVIATE them alto
gether from cause so unwisely conducted, If
they should see the control OF Congress turned
over to the Democrats by such performances
professedly in the interest of temperance.
1t is reasoned by some conscientious adyo-
Gates OF temperance that good can be done by
showing their strength and thus impressing
political parties with sense of their power.
But the difficulty is that these movements do
not show the strength of the Temperance cause,
but its weakness. They make it appear con-
to politicians, where it really is not.
There are thousands of voters who are

4 C1NDTDATE "LOOSFo

Il
The citizens of Connecticut are enjoying the
spectacle, somewhat novel and unusual to them,
of a candidate for Governor on the stump for
himself, discussing no political issue, either
State or National, but urging his own election
upon purely personal grounds, and chiefly for
the reason that he has been misrepresented by
sundry newspapers and is lot so bad as they
have painted him. Connecticut people have
becn.supposed heretofore to hold their Chief
Magistracy something too high for such vulgar
bidding They attach too much dignity to the
Office which within the memory of the present
generation has been held by such men rs Buck
ingham, Hawley, Ingersoll and Hubbard, to
take kindly to the idea of setting it up rs a
prize for defamation TO be competed for by
mountebanks and demagogues. For candi &.
date for Governor of either party to appear
upon the stump in his own canvass has been
exceedingly rare-wc may almost venture
to say unknown. If there has ever been
such an instance, it may be considered certain
that the n1date who risked such action was
careful to lead the discussion in the direction
of other than personal issues, and to abstain
from shocking the public sense of propriety by
the immodest urging of his own claims upon
the score of his individual merits and fitness
Small chance as General Butler the great
exemplar of this method of electionecring
has in Massachusetts,, he or any imitator of
his would have less in Connecticut

didate for Governor of Connecticut, has seen tit

THE Division ON THE CLOSURE.

Mr.. GladstOnes majority in the first critical
division on the Closure is unexpectedly large.
The amendment substituting two-thlrds Tor a
bare majority has been voted down 10y vote oil
500 to 23S. The attitude of the Irish party
iustifes our recent surmse that they are seek
ing to drive sharp bargain with the Govern
ment for additional legislation. They voted
against the amendment, taking pains to inform
the Government that this decision had only
been reached by the casting vote of their chair
man, and that they reserved for themselves full
liberty of acton on the main question. This Is
a plain animation of disposition to negotiate
with the Government respecting the Healy
clause of the Land Act and other matters III the
interest of leasehOlders and occupiers. The
Irish party are evidently willing to vote out
right for the Closure provided they can have
some assurance that compensatng advantages
in practical legislation can be secured III re-
turn for their support.
1t is only fair to add that there Is no evil
dence Of any disposition on the part of the
Government to promote these negotiations.
Lord Harrington has repudiated the
insinuation that his colleagues arc bar
gaining for support in that quarter.
Indeed, the majority against the twO-thrds
amendment indicates that the Government are
not dependent upon the Irish votes but can
afford to dispense with them altogether
Whatever may he the final action of the Parnell-
ties, the passage of the Closure in the form
preferred by Mr.. Gladstone is now foregone
conclusion. Debates III the Commons are to be
closed in future at the will of the majority, the
rights of the minority being amply protected
by restrictions relating to the size of the House.
While arbitrary proceedings and illegal rulings
on the part of the Speaker will be avoided by
this reform in procedure, we are not sure that It
will put an end to obstruction. The Irish men,
bers are as ingenious as they are persistent, and
they may find it easy to break through the new
rule. Some of the minor changes in procedure,
which have not yet been debated, cannot fail,
however, to facilitate the progress OF business
and to reinvigorate the Commons.

close on demagogy. When he says, If that

it won't cost him DOLLAR he talks what he
doesn't believe himself, and privately Will
admit it. But the most singular feature OF
this performance is that this gentleman, aroused
to such pitch of Indignation at what he calls

pricks all of them, by his own account-he
doesn't cite one in his whole three columns

be successful in the dusty arena of politics

really in the present case drawback and dis

such lack of candor with regard to himself and
such lack of decency with reference to his op-
ponent
He began his speech by saying that he was
loose" And we should judge from the speech
that he was. Altogether too "loose." We
believe the voters of Connecticut will be doing
him personal favor in defeating his present
aspirations, and we are quite certain that in so
doing they will yindcate their own intelli
gence and the dignity of their chief office.

, earnestly and conscientiously in favor
Of temperance legislation. where there
are not hundreds who will consent to
throw away their votes without practical OBJ
iect, and to put Democrats into power. by
puttine ND candidates where the thousands will
refuse to support them, this suicidal manage
ment makes the Temperance cause SCENT nave
the sympathy Of an insignificant squad only
In precisely that way, politicians or Doth par
ties have been educated year after year In many
States to regard the temperance feeling as con-
temptible If they pay too little respect to that
element. it ia largely because advocates OF TEN
perance have persisted in doing just what they
are ding now in some Congressional districts
Acting without regard to the great majority OF
those who agree with them In principle, they
make the element seem to be one which pollti-
Clans can afford to disregard and despise, ana
at the same time they incur the hostility OF
those who would otherwise support IL In any
practical effort.
The advice given to voters by the Hon. William
F. Dodge. President of the National Temper
ance Society, desc rves their sober consideration.
When asked to run as Temperance candidate
for Mayor, he refused on the ground that an
effort for such a ticket at this time would not
helm but hinder the cause of Temperance. AS
was recently mentioned, he deemed the run
ming of Temperance candidate in neighbor-
ing Congressional district so injurious to the
cause that he made engagements to address
the Temperance voters Yesterday at three meet
ings in Norris County, New-Jerscy. In these
views it is understood that Bishop Simpson
entirely agrees with Mr.. Dodge, as do other
eminent advocates of Temperance reform. NO
good cause can be promoted 10y making 1t ap-
pear contemptible-by using its name at a time
when nine-tenths of its sincere supporters do
not feel that any practical good can be done
Nor can any good cause he promoted by turning
over the Government of the country to Demo-
cratic hands. To do evil that good may come
is not Protestant ut a Jesuit method.
