BUTLER IN MASSACHUSETTS,

Taken all i'm all, General Ben Butler, Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. is not person spe-
cially ordained of Heaven TO inspire the high
est and hottest desires and ambitions OF our
much-boasted aud too often maligned human
nature. General Ben Butler is not a saint.
He is not a fool. He is a Massachusetts man,
and declares that Massachusetts has made
him what he is, and for what he is he is pro-
foundly grateful to Massachusetts. General
Butler has talents of certain order, and
they are the best OF their class. lie is cum
ming. adroit, impudent. brassy. In law he
knows all the tricks; in politics every sub
teriuge. In analysis Inc is u master
in coloring, an artist of Acknowledged
attachments. At on time, professedly a
Democrat, he was co1fted by the Repub
licans. He had his price. The Republicans
paid ii. General Ben Butler went into their
camp and they sung his praise, decorated
him, elevated him, gave him notoriety.
Being inside of the Republican party, close
to its liver and lights knowing all about its
heart, lungs, stomach digestion, and intes-
tines, General Butler found out that the
party was rotten, corrupt, vicious and Yenal.
and concluded to crawl out and use his in
formation for cleansing the living abomina-
ton. General Butler announced his pur-
pose, declared his mission. In all of Massa-
chusetts General Butler appeared to be the
only tool especially fashioned for
the work OF letting daylight into
the Republican party. of opening the CORFU pit
heap of sweltering nastiness. The question
was how to utilize General Butler so as 10
accomplish the most beneficent results. It
was resolved to make him Governor of Mas
sachusetts. In that position he would repre-
sent several tons of dynamite. To get him
in position and touch him off would do the
work. The brave men of Massachusetts, re-
solved to do it. 1t was done. What is the
result? The Republican party in Massachu-
sets is known in all civilized lands to be an
aggregation of the foulest denominations that
ever made humanity hold its nose. The Re-
publican party of Massachusetts, is synony-
nous with Tewksbury, and ever since the
day when Coleridge discovered seventy
separate and distinct stinks in the
city of Cologne, nothing has eaualled Tewks-
buryism in Massachusetts,. Insanity and
ignorance, vermin and vice, poverty and
prostitution, filth and fanaticism, death and
degradation, stiff factory and human skin
tannery. Butler resolved to cleanse Tewks-
bury if it politically killed every Republican
in Massachusetts,. He did it, and the indica-
tons are that the Republican party in Massa-
chusetts is as dead as a Tewksbury stiff,
and if it were possible it ought to be skinned
and its hide tanned for the manufacture of
whips with which to scourge the Republican
party out of power at least in all of New
England. Butler. whatever may be said of
him, has accomplished a good work in Massa-
chusetts aud he will again be elected Gov.
ernor of the old Bay State.

MARTIN LUTHER.

Orr the 10th day of November, 1888, at the
town OF Eisleben, Germany, Martin Luther
was born. Nearly 400 years have come and
gone, and the fame of Martin Luther grows
brighter. The four hundredth anniversary
is to be celebrated with great pomp in Ger
many, and is not to pass unnoticed through
out Christendom. The verdict of the nations,
long since rendered, proclaims Martin Luz
theirs fame immortal 1t grows brighter as
the centuries roll on. Aside from
Martin Luther's religious views,
about which men may differ, there was that
about him which all unpreiudiced people
must admire He was learned, he was con-
scientious, he was brave and heroic. Power
could not awe him. In the majesty of his
convictions he was superior to fear. He loved
the truth for truths sake. He sought it,
found it as he believed, and adhered to it
under circumstances which would have APP
palled ordinary men. 1t was doubtless we'll
for Europe and the rest of the
world that Luther's theological views
should be established. That question,
however, is still debated. Men and women,
communities and Nations, disagree, but
everywhere free thought is strengthening its
foundations and rearing its impregnable for
tresses. Luther was free thought champi-
on. He chose to believe or disbelIeye, as to
him seemed right, and the world is prepar-
ing diadems, wreaths and chapets for men
who do and dare as their convictions

WHAT to do with boys is a matter that is
attracting attention in Great Britain now.
The Duke of Westminster suggests the es-
adjustment of training schools for those OF
the lower orders for the army upon the same
principal as navy training schools. The OBJ
lection to his plan is that many who would
take all the advantages of such institutions
might refuse later to serve as soldiers, the
army being far from popular. The London
Graphic, in connection with this subject, re-
marks that even if they did, other honorable
careers would be open to them, and thus the
main object of retaining the large number
of pauper boys would be attained.

THE British Board of Trade in its railroad
report, just issued, states that IN the whole
United Kingdom there were. in 1882, 1s,457
miles of railroad, and that more than hall OF
the distance was laid with double track,
about p, 700 miles of track in all, and that
the amount of capital invested amounts to
about 50, $50, 100000. In the United States
there were, IN 1882, 113, 800 miles of railroad,
chiefly single track, showing an investment
of So, 1895. 064, 1923. 1t will be noticed that the
English roads represent valuation OF about
100000, and those of the United States $780,
900 per mile. 1t is stated that the net earn
ings of the English roads approximate $4,000
per mile, while those of the United States are
set down at about 80, 700 per mile. The divi-
dends declared on the English roads for 1882

Amt of capital

"In the United States" says the New
York Commercial Bulletin, "the percentage
of net earnings to capital was 40 in 1882,
and about 5 per cent. in 1872; but the diyi-
bends declared in the past ten years have aver
aged very small percentage on the invest
ment, being about 1 5 in 1882 and but little
over per cent. in 1872. Nevertheless, many
roads declared dividends that showed as
good investment as in English roads. Much
of the earnings Of roads in the United
Stateg as well as new capital. goes into ex-
tensions and Improvements that are not ex-
pected to yield dividend for
many years. the profitableness of
building them coming largely out of
the increased valuations of other property.
The proftableness of railroad investment in
the United States can not be seen in the total
account until the railroad expansion ceases
and the population have grown more nearly
up to it. Moreover, the percentage would
q Undoubtedly be higher if the capitalization
OF American railroads was less "watered"
than they are. Nevertheless, there is
undoubtedly great future for railroad prop
erty in the United States, although there
will always be many miles of road that will
scarcely pay dividends" 1t is quite certain
if the water could be evaporated from rail-
road investments in tine United States, the
per cent. of earnings to capital invested
would make a far better showing. but as
matters are now managed no one can calcu
late earnings upon investments owing to the
water which enters into them.

WASHINGTON, June THE news
of the death of Mr.. 9. G. Fulton. OF
the Baltimore American, was res
ceived here with general regret. He
has been we'll known in the city for
nearly halt century, and since the
earliest days Of the struggles which
led to founding the Republican party,
be bas been prominent both here and
in Maryland. Mr.. Fulton had been
in bad health for about five months,
and his death was not unexpected. He
was sixty-seven years OF age, having
been born in Philadelphia in l8l5,and
when quite young he entered the Ma
tlonal Gazette office in that city as an
apprentice, and after serving as a
j0urneyman printer in PHILADELPHIA.
Baltimore and Washington, he re.
moved to Georgetown, D. c., and
bought the Advocate newspaper
which he sold five years afterward, In
1910 he accepted position as compos
itor on the Baltimore Sun, but was
soon transferred to the editorial room.
where he served respectively as repor
ter, news and telegraph editor, and
atterward managing editor, being one
OF the pioneers in local reLortorial
aud telegraph work. He was also the
first agent of the Associated Press in
Baltimore. In 1853 he purchased an
interest in the American, aud in
1862 became sole proprietor of the
paper.
Mr.. Fulton made six visits to Eu,
rope, travelling all over England, Scot.
land, Ireland and the continent, and
his letters from Europe were widely
read. After his visit in 1874 they
were published in volume entitled.

Spectacles, and had a very large sale.
Mr.. Fulton was one of the original
Republicans OF the State, was a war
correspondent during the civil war,
and supporter of Lincoln. He
was delegate to every National
Republican Convention since 1864
with the exception Of that of 1886
and was an ardent advocate OF
Blaine's nomination in 1876 and
1880 As a delegate to the State con.
vention of 1867 he proposed General
Grant as a Presidential candidate, and
in 1871 offered resolution for the
annexation Of San Domingo. He was
member Of the National Republican
Committee for eight years.
Personally, Mr.. Fulton was a mar
of genial nature and warm sympathies
He had strong convictions, and ex-
pressed his views with directness and
courage. He was most industrious
worker in his profession, and there
was no branch of newspaper work
either in the pressroom or on the writ
ing force, which he could not do we'll
His war correspondence, which was
chiefly from the navy, ranked high
with the government. For severa
years he has practically been out Of
political life, owing to his failing
health. He leaves four children. a,
