MORE OF BUTLER.
He Intends to Remove the Whole Board
of Health, Charities and
Correction.
BosToN, May 3.

BosTON, May g.
1t is reported and given for what it is
worth that the governor intends removing
the whole board of health, charities and cor
reotion before Tuesday next. Another
phase in the Tewksbury almshouse will be
made public in the morning. Recently the
State board of health, lunacy and charity
wrote to the governor explaining why they
had applied to the attorney general for an
opinion regarding there authority to assume
the duties of the trustees of the Tewksbury
almshouse, setting forth that this and prev
ious boards had received valuable assistance
from the attorney general and had derived
therefrom much benefit in the performance
of their duties.
The governor submits a letter from the
attorney generals office which shows this
statement to have no foundation in
fact and after quoting the statements,
verbatim, says: snow, gentlemen of the
board, all this is simply not true. do you
the justice to believe, however, that you
knew nothing about it, but trusted to your
secretary (meaning J. B. Sanborn) who, as
| am informed, has heretofore run your
board, and now appears so to do. The fact
is;your board never has received an opin-
ion of the attorney general or his assistant,
on the question of the law relating to the
duties of the board, bu: on the contrary.
your board and its predecessors have over and
over again requested such opinions and often
been informed during the lest ten years that
you could not have such opinions and those
letters shoald be on the files of your office.
Gov. Butler submits the letter from the at
torney general giving substantially the above
facts.
Gov. Butler in an interview, tonight, stated
that some time ago he discovered that Capt
said last week that hs would allow no more
State money to be spent by the Marsh family.
The Governor had no interest in what the
State board might do. but he gave a very de-
cided opinion as to what he should do about
it.

1.-The final passage of the measure for the

Of n fair days pay for a fair days work, when

Already, furnaces, rolling mills and machine
shops are springing up rs by magic. Those
which are economically managed will return
profits but it is mistake to suppose that
iron will be produced so cheaply there as to
work an immediate revolution in the trade.
Most likely. however. the Southwestern mar

quarter, as the industry has awakened good

The Late Judge Black on the Rev
enue Question.

The New York Herald publishes the
last utterances of the late Judge Black,
that pure and grand apostle of Democ-
racy, on the Revenue, which enters so
largely into the politics OF the country.
We quote as follows:
"Judge Black was asked what in his
opinion would be the position of the
two parties in reference to the tariff ques.
ton in 1884. He believed the Republic
cans would straddle the tariff question
as they always have done; that they
woufdFudeavor to have the Democratic
party commit itself to the same princi
Piles of protection as the Republican:
professed, their object being to get boil
parties in such position that they could
appeal to the people for their support on
the ground of being better protectionisti
than the Democrats; but their plaI
would not work. In speaking of the
Democrats the Judge said that they
must meet the tariff question boldly-ii
has become too broad for Democrats tC
attempt to straddle; they must declare
for a tariff for revenue only; adjusted
to meet the demands of the government
administration with strict integrity and
in the most economical manner. Al
internal taxes must be abolished, and in
order to make up the amount now col
lected as internal revenue the tariff
must be reduced. For instance" said
Judge Black, I'VE now collect 81 800 {
year on woollen blankets. Reduce the
tariff to ten per cent ad valorem ana We
would e5llect So, 100000 iV duties or
imported blankets. The same thing ap
plies to barbed wire, carpets, clothing
and everything the poor man require
to wear or use in his house"
