Mr.. JouN SwINToN, an eccentric
writer of agrarian proclivities, who has
just started in New York weekly
journal to develop the peculiar ideas
which he cannot give expression TO in
the SIN, upon which he is a writer,
advises his daily contemporaries to give
up their stilted style of editorial writing
and give their expressions " freshness,
pluck, originality and genius )" which
is very good advice, but very hard to
follow. The difficulty with the regular
writers upon the daily press is that they
have to write whether or no they have
anything fresh to say. 1t would be Il
great improvement In the editorial con
duct OF papers if there were no editorial
columns appointed to be daily filled, ,
though there be no subjects of particu-
lar interest upon which to write. The
editor can at any time furnish an essay
upon a worn topic ; but those are not
things adapted to the idea of the daily
newspaper, which should contine its4lt
to furnishing the news, illustrating it
and supplying it with pointed comments.
The work of the editor conducted after
this style would be much pleasanter than
it now is, and his journal would be much
more agreeable and profitable to its
readers. When he has anything inter.
esting to say he should say it and when
he has not he will be wise to be silent.

An old man named Nathaniel Wolfkiil,
who resides on Campbelrs alley, aud who
has been employed in sweeping the first
square in East King street, met with an
accident last night which it Is feared will
result in his death. 1t appears that
William Rosenfcld, the cabman, left
his horse and cab stand for moment in
front of the ISTELLGEScER Office while
he went inside on business. The horse
started off and Rosenield ran after
it, overtaking it and getting hold
OF the lines in East King street, near
Christian. Tho horse was trotting at u
pretty good gait, and Mr., Wollkiil, wish
ing 20 assist in stopping him, ran out aud
caught him by the head The unfortunate
man was instantly thrown down, trampled
upon by tho horse, run over by the cab
and lett in an unconscious condition. He
was carried into Russell Il Shulmycr's

THE supreme court has not forgotten
that the United States is a federation Of
states. Since the war, the government
has been so steadily conducted upon the
idea that the states have only such
powers as the United States dos
not choose to exercise that it
will be quite surprise to many
people that the supreme court is
able to declare that the states have all
the powers which they have not expressly
surrendered to the United States. That
declaration is In the constitution, and it
should not require the affirmation OF
the supreme court to give it validity.
When Congress enacted that all persons
should be entitled to equal enjoyment of
all public accommodations in hotels,
cars, theatres, etc, and directed the pun
ishment Of all who disobeyed this law, it
enacted what 1t had no power to declare,
save In the territories and In the District
OF Columbia. 1t was regulation only
within the power of the states to make
The only color Of right in Congress lies
In its power TO regulate the commerce
between the states but it was not on
this ground that the right was claimed
nor would 1t have been broad enough
basis to sustain IL.

Eighty one tobacco is passing gradually

why Cen. Iazcn tho chief of our weather

Havana seed continues 70 be talked
about as the coming tobacco for this Sec

II is suggos ed tlat IL our farmers secure
some OF the acclimltod Havana socd,

in its culture have been going on for some
time past, that they might grow profitable
crops OF it IN our soil which Is generally

New York. And even il its cultivation
should not provo profitable IL is believed
that hybridlsiug i: with somc o! our best
varieties OF seed leaf would greatly i'm
provo the quality OF tho latter. The by

allowing few stocks Of Havana seed and
few stocks OF seed leaf grow side by side

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 10 1888
Butlerism In New England. /.


The contest for governor In Massachu
setts has taken the shape OF a personal
issue between Butler and his enemies.
As he defined 1t In q recent speech the
one side declares that he must go, and
the other that he must stay who Is not
for him is against him, and IL he wins 1t
Is his own personal triumph rather than
the success of any party or principle. 1t
is unfortunate that the politics Of any
common wealth should be reduced to
this level, and 1t Is especially pitiable
that state of such boasted intellectual
exaltation as Massachusetts, should
have come to this.
But 1t Is not so much the fault OF
Butler and those who stand with him
that this is so, as 1t Is of those who an
tagonize him. They have been a stiff
necked generation. They have for years
affected a political piety which became
as intolei able as it was hypocritical,
They ran their state government on
narrow guage principle and developed
a narrow minded and small calibred
sort of statesmen such as Hoar
and Dawes, who now rattle around
In the senatorial seats of Mass
achusetts in the federal capital
They ignored the new race Of citizen:
which has been engrafted upon the pop
ulation of Massachusetts, within the last
generation and the new blood which ha!
been infused into her body polite
They crushed out aud kept down every
body who did not accord with them
until they tried to suppress Butler
simply because he was Butler. There /:
where they made their mistake. He is a
demagogue, a trickster and often uses
his talents to make the worse appear the
better cause he appeals to law passion:
and invokes unworthy pref ejudices but
he has o genius, scope of accomplish.
ments, resoluteness OF will power and
a knowledge Of human nature and OF
how to play upon it, that very few, ii
any, of his contemporaries in the state
possess. He brought these all to the
task Of making himself governor he
succeeded and may do it again
His administration has been very
obnoxious to the men over whom
he triumphed and he meant that they
should have a copious draft of gall. His
revelations Of the TewksDury scandal
aud similar horrors sent a cold chill
down their backs, aud no doubt Butler
eyulted more in this than in any philan-
thropic purpose served. But to all but
prejudiced minds Butler has the right
of the quarrel and he has the sym
pathy OF the country in his renewed
contest.
1t does not follow from this, nor will
II be the sequence of his re election, that
Butlerism has gained any foothold out
side of New England. The talk Of him
as Democratic presidential candidate
is absurd. He cannot get the votes of
three states in national convention. He
is good waffle to be laid upon the back
of Massachusetts, and as such the De
mocracy Of the country take delight in
him. Beyond this they have no interest
in Butler.
