THOUGHTS ON WANDER.
ERs-BUTLER AND BERKELEY.
Eds. Independent;
One popularity of American poll
tics is the overlooking to a great ex-
tent, of mans political Iapses or
swervering from party line and party
allegiance, This proposition may
sound strange and give forth a false
ring at the threshold of ones inqui-
ries, but when an investigation en-
sues, the truth OF the proposition
may be observable. To be clearer,
il possible: One who picks up his
rod and walks out OF the house OF
his political faith is always welcom-
ed back upon his return. The sins
OF the political prodigal are forgiv-
en-, and royal reception Is given
him in his former political home.
Take as illustration the warrior
bold, OF Massachusetts A per-
feel, Benedict Arnold Of politics Is
portrayed In the character OF Benjas
min n. Butler. A traitor to the
cause or Democracy at y time when
the services of every man were need.
ed, aud in the camp OF the enemy
one of the most ultra foes OF demo-
cratic principles and Democratic
measures, to-day he stands forth
as the Democratic governor az
Massachusetts, and the Democratic
nominee for reelection. His case
furnishes q strong proof as to the
truth and force Of my original pro-
position. Butler stands forRivenl
And to day he occupies = more cons
handing position than any politician
IN the country, and 1884 may find
him the democratic standard bearer
In the Presidential race | Another
strange proposition, no doubt, but
no stranger than a prediction ~ b
his election as chief executive oE
Massachusetts could have seemed 8
few years ago. Verify the labyrinths
Of politics arc dif1cult to explore
The idea Of h0noring q renegade may.
seem repulsiye. It may look IS Il :
premium had been placed upon shat.
tered allegiance. But it's not 20. 1t
illustrates one phase Of that consti-
tutional right, "liherty OF speech ~
and by implication liberty OF action.
1t furthermore indicates that the
American people are unselfsh. UNI
bigoted and forgiving. They look
upon y man In his present attitude
and not as to his past, and we are
willing to overlook by,9one delin-
quencies, when convinced that the
mans conversion or the man d return
is bona fde and without deception.
In other words, the people Ia remem-
bering Paul the Apostle forget the
cruelties OF Saul OF TarSus, though
the two names were united In the
same person. And now to bring tho
matter homel The Democratic par.
ty Of Berkeley is ready and willing
to forgive and forget, and stands
ready to welcome with open arms
all those who have Strayed from the
old political homestead In search Of
other idols. If men have gone of In
seasch of better means to protect
and aid the people, the search has
been as vain as that Of Ponce dc
Leon The pe00le's cause is the
cause Of democracy, and Democracy
is the party OF the people.

DEATH OF Tom THUMB.-The great lit
tie man known to the public OF the old
aad new world as General Tom Thumb"
bat whose real name was Charles Hey
ward Stratton, died at his pleasant home
in the old town Of Middleboro, Mass, at
8 30 O'Clock last Sunday morning. His
death was sudden, having been caused by
a stroke of apopleyy, though on account
OF his irregular habits and occasional eX-
cesscs of late it was TO his immediate
friends and acquaintance no surprise.
He was born at Bridgeport, Conn,
ian. 4, 1888, and therefore was about 45
wears of age. He was the third of four
chiitren, the others beng OF ordinary
stature. He weighed nine pounds at his
birth, within half pound of sister who
a,tervard attained weight of 200 pounds
p. T. Barnum began to exhibit Tom
Thumb" IN the latter part of 1912, when
the boy was four years old, instead OF H.
as he was then said to be. January IL
1874, he sailed with Mr. Barnum for Eu'
rope, where he was presented TO Queen
Victoria, who SAID: you ought to have
title; | think shall call you General
Tom Thomb'" Feb. 10, 1868, TON
Thumb" was married with some ceremony
IN Grace church to the little "Lavinia
Warren" Lavinia Warren Bump. She
Is now nearly AZ years old, about forty
inches high, and weighs about fifty
mounds. Her sister, who travelled with
her as Minnie Warren" died IN 1878
about year after her marriage to Gen
eral Grant, Jr."

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

We are indebted to Hon +. {. Lewis, a
member of the Illinois state Board of
Agriculture, Tor an early printed copy OF
the Premium List of the next Annual Hi
Inois State Fair, to be held at Chicago,
Sept 2ith to 29th, 1888. The grounds Sc
lcctcd for holding the fair are those of the
Chicago Jockey Club, in the western part
Of the city, adjoining Garfield Park. The
Madison street cars run to the entrance
gate Of the grounds The c., b, X Q. rail.
road runs within block or two OF the
grounds, as does the c. Il n. W. railroad,
and both will doubtless run frequent trains
back and forth from the Union depot
The books are to be opened August 10Th,
and entries can be made after that date by
letter at Springfield,
The premiums cover everything IN the
line of live stock from horses, cattle, swine
and sheep down to bantam chickens, every
product of the farm and orchard as well
AS OF the workshop and the studio of the
artist The interest Is also to be kept up
by daily trials OF speed on the fine race
course which the grounds include.
Considering the prominence Of Chicago
as a railroad center, with her trade in
meats, breadstutis and all kinds of manu-
featured articles, and the wealth. enter
prise, push, pride and public spirit OF her
citizens it would be very strange indeed If
the coming fair should not be made sue
cess tar beyond any of its predecessors.
With the Premium List of the State
Fair are also printed the premiums of the
Fat Stock Show to be held at the Exposi-
ton Building IN Chicago Novem Der IA 90,
1888. Copies of the list may be obtained
of any member of the State Board, or by
addressing S, d. Fischer, Secretary OF the
Board, at Springfield.

THE STORM KING.

Is It on account Of the spots on the sun
For the last three months astronomers tell
us there have been extraordinary pcrturba-
Itions on the surface Of the great celestial
lumlnary, and especially during the past
week the sun spots have exhibited intense
activity, two more having been added 70
the unusual group Of five that had been
observable for two or three months past.
Do these sun storms have such reflex &C
ton as to cause like storms on the earth ,
Whatever the cause 1t is certain that for
the last three months not week has
raised without such storms and cyclones
Oh one portion Of the earth or another as
were only of rare occurrence and at long
intervals in former years.
The storms during the past week
though somewhat less violent and deStruc-
tive than some others Of late visitation,
have been unusually widespread and
numerous. The first to be menuned Is
that which swept down the Missouri Val
ley from Omaha to st. LOUIS, on the 18th.
At McPaul, little west of Omaha, it de
molshed a large two story brick school
house, and unroofed and destroyed num-
Der OF other houses, the railroad depot,
&c, besides etiecting immense dcstruch on
all along Its course of the growing crops.
1t was accompanied with heavy fall OF
kalstones, and its ravage5 are traced at
Lincoln, Atch.son, Jefferson City, on down
to st. LOUIS, where it demolished innu
merable chimneys, several houses, railroad
freight depots, and broke from their moor
Ings four STEAMBOATS, and barges, and drlv.
ing them against the bridge piers sent
them to the bottom. Crossing the river
into st. Clair, Randolph and Washington
counties, ILL.,, it caused great havoc among
the growing crops.
On the same day furious and destruc-
tive hailstorm swept over Knox, Fulton,
Tazewcll, De Witt and other counties in
this state
And on the same day furious storm OF
wind, ram and hail swept over district a
halt mile wide and - miles long in Cen
trail Dakota, dong immense damage To the
growing wheat
On the 10th, early in the morning, a fu.
rious storm swept over Central Iowa, from
west of Des Moines to Burlington. II was
preceded by fierce hot, dry wind, blow
ing at the rate Of As miles and horr, un.
roofing houses, tearing down trees, fences
&c, and prostrating crops, followed by a
deluge OF ram.
On the same day, IN the afternoon, like
storm, preceded by destructive winds and
followed by deluging rams, swep, over a
district In Illinois 80 miles wide, extend

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE,

For several months past the air had been
tll! Of runors Of az impending great
strike among tie telegraph operators 7,
vas Known ina; tAeE had grievances, such
=: persistent reduction o: wages FIR the
"a; fer y,a-s a1d .engtAea!ng Of the
hour: q! service, i was also known that
lie operator, were organized into q grand
brotherhood, constantly growing more
complete ana compact, anu that this broth
elAoOd had connected itself with the gi.
,sn'!c order known as the knights Of La
Dor II was not until the convention OF
operators at Chicago a month o. two ago,
however, that it became known that a
strike had been decided upon and word
passed all along the lines that unless Ger.
tain demands were compiled with there
would be q simultaneous strike all over
the United States and Canada within three
days after formal demand had been made
upon the companies on the 18th of July.
That demand was made on the date
named, and not being acccded to, the strike
took place according to programme at
noon on Thursday
The claim of the operators Is, that while
few years ago they were asked to work
eight or ten hours day and received $40
month, they now have to work - or Is
hours for seven days a week, and the high.
est pay received Is $40 month In their
demand therefore they ask abolition of
Sunday labor, or extra compensation for 1t
that eight hours shall be regarded as a
days work, and seven hours a nights
work that both sexes shall receive equal
pay for an equal amount of work, and that
salaries shall! be advanced 10 per cent
The Brotherhood is SAID to consist of
about 10000 members, ana to lnclude nine.
tenths of all the operators in actual en-.
ploYment in the United States and Canada
or course, during the months Of prepare
ton for the strike, a large fund has been
accumulated TO support It, which is sup
p!emented by the fund Of the knights OF
Labor Added to this, that the demands
OF the strikers are such as all fair minded
men must concede are not unjust or exor
bitant, and we have the chief affirmative
elements upon which to predicate the prot.
able success of the strike.
Against these, however, stands the fac,
that the country is full Of graduates OF pri
vate schools Of telegraphy, graduates OF
business and other colleges, thousands OF
whom are eager 70 get employment at any
wages; and the other fact, that the moment
the regular operators filed out of their of
fees on Thursday, very considerable
force OF non.broherhood operators stood
ready to take their place, SO that IN fac,
there was no very serious interruption of
the business, and 1t will be seen that the
success OF the strike is at the best exceed
inRly predetermined. The telegraph bus
mess of the country is In the hands OF q
gigantic monopoly, which it is almost
hopeless undertaking to throttle. As it
