GOVERNOR BEN. BUTLER paid his respects
to the newspapers the other day. They
have said some plain things about him,
great many very plain things, and the Cover
nor is mad. He read extracts from what he
called that Christian paper the Traveller"
and "that other, which isn't family paper,
except that it is devoted to single gentlemen
and their wives, the Boston Herald" the ex-
tracts proving, to his own satisfaction, that
ne had never himself said anything half so
Objectionable, nor so calculated to bring
blush to the cheek OF young person. In
concluding his speech ne said: Don't be-
lieve anything you read in the newspapers
about me during this campaign, because
they will be lies. When this campaign is
over, so that paper will be liable for they
are not liable for the political things they
publish during a campaign, if they then pub
lish any lie about me I'll try and see if there's
any law or justice in the land" 1t remains
to be seen whether this awful threat will
have the effect of muzzling the Massachusetts,
press. We sincerely trust not, because the
fight going on there makes mighty good read
ing to calm and dispassionate outsiders.

The Sharon adultery Case.

SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 13.-The case of Miss
Hill, claiming to be the wife of Senator Sha-
ron, charging him with adultery was called
in the police court this morning. Owing
to the reported absence of Nelson,
Miss HIPS attorney from the city,
counsel for the prosecution asked
for a continuance of one week. The motion
was opposed by Sharon's attorney, who in
sisted that the case should proceed on the
day set, Oct, 16 After long argument the
court granted the continuance. The proba-
bilities are that the case will be tried as a
misdemeanor, not as a felony, as originally
intended, it having been discovered by Miss
Hills counsel that the person with whom
adultery is charged is a single woman and
not married, as was stated in the complaint.

WHAT purports to be the official figures
upon the second or prohibition amendment
in Ohio, are published by the Commercial
Gazette. The total votetcast in the State was
709 1876, The vote for the prohibition amend
ment aggregates 300, 423 so that, counting
the entire difference as in the negative, the
majority against the proposition is 80, 500.
But as it would only have taken a majority
of the aggregate vote-or 354, 66S votes-to
have carried it, the amendment really lacks
but 40, 255 votes. This is an enormous vote,
and in commenting upon 1t, the Commercial
Gazette says:
''The vote for prohibition is astonishing
and impressive. There has been no popular
movement in the world in many years so re-
markable as this; and never before in the his
tory of man did three hundred thousands
citizens solemnly cast their ballots for the
adjustment of the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating drinks as a beverage.
"While Republicans feel indignant that
their party interests, which they believe are
identified with the public welfare, should
have been sacrificed in this strange demon
stration, the Democracy should not be I'M
mindful that at least one-third of the
three hundred thousand prohibitory votes
were from themselves, and they might
with advantage heed the admonition that the
liquor men and interests should not be en-
couraged TO partisan aggressiveness, for GER
tainly there is a tremendous public opinion
that will find means to make itself respected,
not, we presume, in prohibtory legislation,
but in imposing upon the traffic its share OF
burdens arising from the evils with which it
is associated"
There is ample room within the confines of
the fgures-3O9, 423-for very much and
very various reflection; and the saloon-keep-
ers, who have concluded to take their bust
ness into politics, are not the persons least
interested in careful study.

HALPERT, THE FORGER.
The Swiudler Who Is Wanted in Boston
His Operations in Indiana.

San ANTONIO, Tex, Oct 13-An evening
paper publishes the following, which puts a
new coloring on the Halpert matter: The
man Dewey, alias Halpert, who is wanted in
Boston for forgery, and for whom Hulpert or
Halpert is arrested, has for years carried on
system of swindling, since 1873, when he APP
peared as Professor o. R. Halpert, in Madi-
son, Ind, and opened a business college
there. He victimzed a number of persons
in Connersville, Columbus Vevay, Vernon.
Scottsburg, in Indiana, and in Carrollton,
Milton, Prestonville and Richmond, in Ken
tueky. At Vevay, Halpert was unfortunate,
because he was detected in beating widow
out of board bill, and he was ducked in
hogshead. At Madison, Halpert Sc
cured $500 upon two notes forged in
the names of D. Lovenger, one for $500 on
the First National Bank, the other far 5000
on the National Branch Bank. He defrauded
John Mayer of 5000, by raising a check of
$50 to $3.50. The sheriff of an Indiana
county was after him there, and offered 800
reward for his arrest. For a time he re-
NAMED quiet, and then reappeared in Mon
treal Canada, where he operated as cheese
shipper, and did an extensive business.
Then he disappeared, leaving several mourn

ed to $4,000 He was indicted in
Boston for forgery. The swinder

official description Of the man, c. ]. Dewey,
alias 0. r. Halpert, is thus stated: He is an
Alsatian Hebrew, thirty-three years old,

English, with strong German accent, using
''den" for when" etc., speaks several lam

whom he called "the Missus." OF late he
has worn glasses. He was seen at Bedford
Springs, Mass, during the summer with a
woman who is described as having a dark
complexion, black eyes, heavy eyelashes and
brown hair which she wore banged. She is
rather tall, stoops, and has an awkward gait.

THE adoption OF what is known as
standard time on all the railroads of the
country will be almost certain, in time, to
be followed by its adoption as local time
within the different parallels. 1t will be
very awkward to have both railroad and local
time, as is the case on the North Pacific and
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railways. 1t
will be odd at first; but, with all the railways
using it, it will be vastly more convenient to
have all the time in a city or given breadth
of country uniform.

THE extent of the Indian reservations is
scarcely understood. There are about forty
of these reserved tracts, and they embrace an
area of 100000 900 acres. This is an area
four times greater in extent than the whole
of New England, five times greater than New
York or Pennsylvania six times greater than
Virginia, four and half times greater than
Illinois, with its $4,000 square miles; six
times greater than Indiana, and four and
half times greater than Ohio About 260, 900
Indians are scattered over these vast tracts of
land, and this is one of the reasons why the
expense of their government is so great.
This reservation feature is one of the non
sensical things in our Indian policy that
must go. Four States of the size of Indiana,
made out of the best land that can be picked
out of our Western empire, cannot be kept
from settlement and cultivation simply to
afford hunting ground for quarter of mil
lion of semi-savage nomads. The land of
this country belongs to those who can and
will make the best use of it for civilization.
