Near York Tribune
Governor Butler imparts liveliness to
everything he touches. There has never
been bad smell of any kind in this coun-
try that he has not sooner or later put his
finger into, and the invariable effect of his
stirring has been to make the smell more
pronounced. He evidently became Cover
nor of Massachusetts chiefly for the pur-
pose 0fdevel0ping all the States latent bad
smells to their full capacity, and it must
be Said'that he has had considerable sue
cess, though the ultimate result is likely
to damage him much more than the
State. One of the first "abuses" he stirred
up after taking office was the State Prison.
He removed the Warden, chiefly because
of complaints made against him by the
c0nvicts, whose principal leader and
spokesman was Convict DOlan. 1t Will
be remembered that while the movement
for the removal of the Warden was in
progress the convicts put forth circular
requesting quiet in the prison because the
"Governor is going to appoint good man
as Warden, and we shall all Cooperate
with him." They and the Governor did
cooperate sufficiently to get rid of the
Warden, and subsequently the Governor
pardoned Dolan on the ground that he
was ''dying man" and he wished to let
him die comfortably in the hospital.
DOlan did not care TO die comfortably
lie ran away from the hospital the day
after his arrival there, and took up his
residence in the Rhode Island town Of
WOonsocket. He at once began to show
uncommon energy for ''dying man, No
less than twelve burglaries and highway
assaults occurred in the town within two
months after his appearance there, and
when Tuesday last he was caught in the
act of breaking into store at night, he
was at once suspected of being the leader
of all of them. He was arraigned on
five counts, three for breaking and enter
ing stores, one for violent assault on a
citizen with a slungshot, and one for
burglary and larceny. All of which
shows what reviyifying effect Butler
pardon may have upon a "dying man.

which revived Dolan, for to take any
other view of his subsequent activity
would be to admit that the Governor had
been imposed upon, and everybody knows
that the Governor is the sharpest man in
America and is never fooled by anybody.
1t would be in accordance with his pre-
vious conduct for the Governor to go over
into Rhode Island and further ''c0-oper-

Court, as Delegate to the Constitutional
Convention of 1865, as Governor and as
President of the Constitutional COnven-
tiOn of 1877.

Stmite presented to him by the Gen.

the State.

deserved them, and now that he is gone
no one will be more sincerely mOurned

| The people of Massachusetts, who

The proposition to submit the
question of ~''license'' to the people
this fall was offered in the Senate by
q Republican with the expectation
that it would be opposed by the
Democratic members. But it receiv-
ed their votes and passed. When it
came up in the House the Republi-
cans became alarmed at the prospect
of its passage and voted it down.
Every Democrat voted for it. This
shows that the Republican leaders
are afraid to give the people an op-
%portunity to express themselves at
the ballot box on this important
question. Their object is to legis
