WARMING A SOLDIER.
How General Butler Incurred the Enmity of
Maine Man.
New York Times.

Maine Man.
New York Times
Governor Butler made a speech at cattle
show i'll Athol. Mass, one day last week,
and in lecturing the people, among other
things on cleanliness as requisite to health,
told this anecdote of his army experiences:
II set myself to work among some Massa-
chusetts and Maine soldiers to look after
them very carefully, and L spent every Sun
day inspecting them, from o'clock in the
morning until daylight ceased. They thought
that l was exceedingly particular, and
couldn't understand what should make the
general peer into pots and kettles, and why
he was looking at the bed-clothing, ETC.
Well, one day. when it was bitter
cold, 1 was inspecting a Maine regi-
ment, among other things look
ing into the knapsacks Now every
knapsack should have had flannel shirt, a
pair of drawers and a pair of stockings. L
found one that did not have them. Where
are they% 1 asked. have got them on
said the man. Got two on% Yes What's
the matter?' 4 am cold Well, what are
you going to do next week for a clean shirt?'
Oh, he said he had not had forethought
enought to think of that. Well | said,
Orderly, this man seems to be cold. Take
him and run him around the parade ground
double-quick until he gets warm This ac-
cordingly was done. did not see the man
again. In 1868 l went up into the upper
part of Maine trout-fshing, and while riding
on stage with the driver, the driver asked
me if I did not know him. did not. He
said: 4 was soldier under you. Said he:
General there was one time in my life when
if l could have killed you and it would never
have been known L would have done it with
a good deal of relish; but you saved my life
by the very thing which made me hate YOU
Then he went on to say that he was the man
who had worn the two shirts, and he asked
me to get off and see his old father and
mother, which was very glad to do.'

THE New York Times fercely jumps upon
Mr.. Talmage, who, in ais sermon last Sun
day, asserted that gunpowder might be the
only remedy for Mormonism, and that if SO,
it would be used. The Times says:
at is pleasant to think that the world has
moved on since certain Jealous priests
preached the instant suppression of the Wal
densian heresy' by the sword, and urged
that General Catinat should be put at the
head or an army and sent to eXterminate the
Waldenses. Their advice was followed, but
in spite of the torrents of blood shed by Gait
nat the Waldensian heresy hourishes to this
day"
There could not be more absurd and
outrageous perversion of history and words
than this Of course, by Mormonism Mr..
Talmage meant polygamy and the Times
knew he meant that. With Mormonism as
system of faith no one has any right or care
to interfere, but when the Mormons
throw the shield of religious freedom
about the odious and criminal practice OF
polygamy they defy net only the moral
sentiment; b'.., the rightful legal authority of
NE nation. When people talk of Mormon
ism they mean polygamy; and, in truth, po-
lygamy has come to be the most important,
if not the fundamental principle, as it is the
practice, OF the Mormons, since the bestial
thing was grated upon the Church of the
Latter-day Saints by Brigham Young. The
two words are interconvertible and synony-
nous in the popular tongue, and for anyone
to confound or compare polygamous Nor
monism with the faith of the heroic, devoted
Christian Wadenses is indefensible. Polyg-
amy is not ''heresy," and Brigham Young
is not a Peter Waldus, nor is the
government of the United States, in
asserting its rightful authority to re-
press crime, following in the footsteps of
Catinat, who scourged the Waldensian
Christians through the valleys and over the
hills because they dared toprotest against
certain dogmas and practices of a hierarchy
that in the Middle Ages ruled the world
with an iron hand and a cruel heart. AS
we'll talk of polygamy and the lutheran
reformation, or put Brigham Young, as the
Iatner Oh rellStouS prostitution, alongside OF
Martin Luther. Such talk as that in
dulged in by the Times can not blind the
moral sense of the country, neither can it
avert the inevitable. The conscience of the
nation, generation ago, declared against the
twin relics of barbarsm." One of the
twins went TO violent death in the shock OF
war. the other must 90 neaceablv if il will
forcibly if it must. But it must go.

There recently arrived in this city two
brothers, named Gallagher, who were en-
where they now are. Both of them are un-
usually large, fne-looking men. the oldest
being about six feet seven inches and the
youngest six feet one inch. Their family is
one of the most remark able ones in several
respects that can be found anywhere. They
live in England, and there are twenty BROTH
ers and one sister, all living, save these two,
under one roof. OF this number, the SMALL
est of the lot is the youngest son, who is in
this city, and he is six feet one inch tall.
Averaging their respective heights at six feet
two inches each, which is rather small, the
total height of the sons and daughter is 129
feet six inches The parents of the children
are not larger than the ordinary size, and are
both living. The spectacle of the entire FAM
ilv together is a most remarkable one, and

Of secession. The people are rapidly grow
ing into homogeneity. The cables of COM
merce, covering the whole land like net
work, will bind all sections closer and still
closer together. The North needs the South,
and the South the North. United,
the government of the United States is the
grandest the world ever produced There
will be no division. The danger is further
away at the end of each passing year. The
people live by labor, not by politics. The
latter is simply the means employed to con-
serve the interests of the former. The peo-
pie are prosperous and contented the future
is full of promise. Politics will be employed
to perpetuate life, not to commit suicide.

The two enemies that China most fears
are the Russians on the north and opium on
the south and east. The former stand ready
at an instant's notice to overrun the country
with an armed host and the latter is STEALTH
lily invading the empire from the coast. The
Chinese have tried, by every means in their
power, to discourage the opium traffic, but
without avail, as they are opposed by English
commercial interests. The Chinese oppose
the trade from moral grounds, and the
much as nearly one-third of the Indian
budget is made up from the duty on opium
shipped from that country into China it is
not probable England will put a stop to
trade until driven to it by an outraged pub
lie sentiment, as trading in slaves and hu-
man slavery was stopped years ago.

JUDGE FORAKER. in an interview, attributes
the defeat in Ohio to unexpected losses,
which he explains in this way;
"Our real loss justifies fear entertained
when 1 came back from a canvass in the
Western Reserve. The feeling on the prohi-
bition amendment was quite strong there.
Many Republicans did not want to vote for
the amendment, and sooner than 60 to the
polls and face the influence of Prohibition
friends and neighbors. they remained at
home and didn't vote at all. The figures
show that the Republican gains fall off in
those counties and this is my explanation of
them. A strong disinclination at being
forced to take a stand on the prohibition
question kept these people away from the
polls"
The Judge further said that Senator Sher
mans supposed responsibility for the reduc-
ton of the tariff on wool hurt the Republican
party. Chairman Bar.er, of the Democratic
State committee, sent out 100000 pamph-
lets among the wool-growers, inhaming their
prejudices against the Republican party for
the change of tariff The effect of this was
never Offset This little incident shows the
sincerity of the Democratic party on the
tariff, and we commend it to the considera-
paign for the presidency as a stern old
Roman of infexibe virtue. In the course of
the conversation Judge Foraker was asked as
to the effect of the election on the party in
Ohio. His reply was: There is no future
in politics."

cast for McMaster was 21OO
less than that cast for Porter,
while the Democratic vote was
only SOB less than that cast for Landers,
showing difference in favor of Republican
stay-at-homes of ,597 The Republican vote
was 2,029 less than was cast for Garfield,
while the Democatic vote was seven more
than was cast for Hancock, showing differ
ence in favor of Republican stay-at-homes of
2036. The Republican vote for McMaster
was 1,071 less than for Elan, while the vote
for Schmuck was ], 1922 less than the vote for
Fletcher, showing that the Democracy did
not control the forces against the Republican
ticket so solidly on Tuesday last as they did
in the election for the Legislature in 1882.
Mr.. Elam only carried the city by nine
teen majority in 1892 and he was our
strongest candidate, while Mr. McMaster car
ried it by go majority. A study of these fig
ures shows that the combination which OPP
posed the Republican party is not so strong
now as in 1882, and also that upon a vote
relatively as strong as it was either in the
October or November election of 1880. Indi-
annapolis is Republican city by majority

Democracy can extract any comfort from
