Grant TO Porter.

New YORK, Nov. Cen. Grant
has addressed letter to Gen. FitZ
John Porter, which concludes as fol-
lows: las long as 1 have a voice it
snail be raised in your support with
out any reference to its effect upon
me or others. Your restoration to
the army, simply, l would regard as
q. very inadequate and unjust repara-
tlon. While men, one, at least, have
been restored to the army because of
tneir galIantry and wounds, after con-
yictlon and sentence, not only to be
dismissed, but to be confined in the
penitentiary, and when there is no
doubt OF their guilt, and all their pay
for the years they were o It of the ser.
vice, | can see no reason for your
having less. hope for your thorough
vlndication, not only by COZ gress, but
in the minds of your cornt' ymeh."

TIE defeat of Ben Butler is another
evidence Of the value of true Democ-
racy in Democratic nominees. A
great many Democrats could not
swallow Ben, and really, no Democrat
is crying over his failure. But every
body who holds dear hepurity of gov
eminent, the sacredness of the ballot,
and who reveres the memory If the ex-
allied past of the Mother of States, is
shouting for joy at the defeat of Ma
hone and Mahonism in Virginia.

Couldn't Satisfy Them.

Now if we had a real board of rail.
road commissioners, and the governor
was ex-officio chairman, this recon-
mendation of his to put on cars for
the negroes would be all right, or at
least would have some show Of right.
The finest coaches ever built would
not satisfy the negroes if they once
understood that they were to ride in
them only because they belonged to
that race, and were thereby getting in
no white mans WAY.

TIE United States treasurer's state

THE United States treasurer's state
ment shows how fast the silver coin
age is encroaehing upon the reserve
in the treasury. Gold coin and bull
lion amount to sos, 251. 552, and the
silver dollars and silver bullion to
S120972,271. The fractional silver
coinage in the treasury is So, LIS. 476,
making the total amount of silver in
the treasury vaults S173, 150.747. at
the present rate of accumulation it is
only a question of time when the
whole treasury reserve win consist of
silver, and when gold will be banished
from circulation.

Inventors and manufacturers are
getting to be,crazy on the subject OF
heavy ordnance. Recently twenty
inch smooth-bore cannon was tested
in New Y ork harbor. 1t weighs fifty
eight tons, requires 200 pounds of
powder at charge, and discharges q
solid shot that weighs more than half
a ton. 1t requires twenty-five men tc
ram home the charge the gun is fired
by electricity from a distance, and
wheI it goes off the earth trembles as
if from an earthquake. And, after
all, the shot goes only about 1000 feet
or about a third of mile. Every
time the gun is fired it costs S135. Oh
what use is gun like that in active
military operations?

RICHMOND, Nov. 8.-The latest re-
turns increase the Democratic gains.
Reports from all but two districts
give the Democrats 20 senators, Coali-
tionists, Is. Returns from both dis
tricts not fully reported, show heavy
Democratic gains, which, If continued
at points not heard from, will give
one or both Democratic house dele
gates. The Democrats have so far
secured 90 members, Coalitionists, 80.
OF the four remaining delegates the
Democrats have one certain, which
makes a majority in the house of q,
and on joint ballot not less than 50.
The popular majority in the state
will likely reach 10000.

Russia appears to be losing her pre-
eminence as the granary of Europe
in face of such competing countries
as America and India, but whether or
not she can yet claim to be great

from the fact that, according to statis-

finance, there are just 1916 large
manufactures and works of all kinds
in the so provinces extent of land
as big as the rest of Europe-with not
more than 100000 work people en-
ployed. This total does not include
1922 small establishments of the

Ben Butler Explains.

PITTsBURG, Nov. THE CONNER
cial-Gazette telegraphed to Gen. B. F.
Butler this evening for his views on
the result in Massachusetts, and ask
ing for his programme for the future.
The following characteristic reply
was received:
Boston, Nov. 10 p. Man an
swer to your question is easy. AS to the
cause of the result in Massachusetts.
last year l had 134,0U0 votes. The
largest vote ever polled was in the
Garfield election of 1880. Garfield 1885,
600; Hancock, 10000; total,
277,OOO. This year the vote
is $4,000. of which
have $4,000. This enormous increase
has been caused by the free use of
money, fraud and corruption of my
opponents. More votes have been
cast than will be in the next presiden-
tial year. The 5000 or 5000 plurality
OF my opponent was more than lost in
the city of Boston. Massachusetts is
therefore surely Democratic if l make
another state canvas without further
gains. When man has increased
the Democratic vote from liz, 1000 to
1926 in three years, is there any
need of an answer to your question
what my programme will be? am
pleased with the result, and had
rather have my vote than be elected
with $4,000. In that case it would
then be said Massachusetts is a Re
publican state; she has large reserve
vote which in a presidential election
will come out. Now we have had
them out and measured them, and in
the next presidential election, with a
judicious platform and popular
nomination at least, we should keep
all Republicans, men and money at
home to take care of Butler instead
Of sending both to Ohio and Indiana
to corrupt those states.

ACCORDING to Gen. Badeau, minis
ter to Cuba, the trade relations be-
tween that island and the United
States could not be in a worse condi-
ton. Owing to our nearness to Cuba
American merchants should have al
most a monopoly of trade, but the ex-
isting tariff rates practically shut
them out, while Great Britain and
Germany get everything. AS an in
stance of the effect of the unjust laws
against American goods, he states that
flour from this country is first shipped
to Spain, thence to Cuba, and sold for
much less than that which is sent di-
rect to the island. We may look at
this question of protection in any
light, and observe shadows that fall
upon the prosperity Of the country.
