JOHN J. FINERTy has written a char
acteristic letter TO The Chicago Tribune,
criticising the Philadelphia convention,
and particularly its chairman, and Alex
ander Sullivan. 1t is quite evident from
the tone of the letter that Finnerty is
beside himself because of his failure to
receive the recognition he thinks his
merits demanded at the convention
That he is jealous of Sullivan and of the
other members who directed .he pro-
ceedings of the convention, is quite ap-
parent. 1t was fortunate for the Irish
people that Finerty, and men "of that
ilk," were suppressed, otherwise the pro
ceedings would be q mass of fustian
and buncombe. Finerty is an extremist
and men of that class are always unsafe.
Their devotion is so intense that it burns
out. They take offense too easily, and
the entire current of their thoughts may
thus be suddenly changed. Unless Fin
erty learns moderation his election to
congress will be curse to the Irish peo-
pie of America.

THE decadenee of the influence of the
newspaper in political matters is quite
generally recognized. Bat while the
opinion of the editor is no longer regard
ed as infallible, still the constan. reiter-
alton of things as facts win belief in
time on the principle that what everyone
says must be true.
The democrats of the northwest have
no paper and every bit of political news
comes highly colored in favor of the
opposite party. Any little mistake a
democratic officer may make Is magnitied
and repeated until the dear people begin
to think that party is full of treason,
stratagem aud spoils." Perhaps two
thirds of the republican chief clerks OF
the assembly have made as many errors
| and were as incompetent as Carr. But
the democrats were not in position to
take advantage of these errors and really
have not been educated up Tor DOWN to
that species of warfare. Every little
error made by the clerical force of the
assembly during the year 1888 has been
magnifed 500 diameters and received al
the publicity possible; the republican
party has the press.
Mark the efforts to ridicule the pro-
eeedings of the meeting of the Iroquois
Club. Every address was dignifed,
manly and statesmanlike. But Judging
from the distorted accounts published
it was disgre ceful gathering, Donny-
brook fair proceeding. The republican
party has control of the press.
Hill has made many and serious
charges against Secretary Teller. They
demand and investigation and justice
requires that they be discussed for the
peoples information. There are 1000
reasons why public attention should DE
directed toward the Interior Department
when there is scarcely one why the PEG.
pie should know that Chief Clerk Cam
is not an expert at reading chad writin'. y
But Hills charges are allowed to drop as
of little moment, while the records are
being searched to ascertain whether
Carr's clerks dotted all their is and
crossed their It's. The republican party
manages the press.

THE condition of affairs at Tewksbury,
in Massachusetts, almost passes belief.
But while the barbarous practices of the
almshouse creates indignant astonish-
ment, the fact that the investigation
meets with steady opposition, seems al
most incredible, and then the persons
who denounce Butler for thus laying
bare this hideous SPOT, are classed among
the most respectable of the state. The
graund of opposition is that the reputa-
ton of the state is injured by the fearful
exposure. and supporters OF Butler are
asked 80 look upon their work,-the cleo
ton of man who has so little regard
for the standing of his state as to begin
an investigation which shows a state of
affairs in public institution that would
shock an uncivilized country. The shame
is not that Massachusetts, had allowed
such barbarous, inhuman revolving prac-
tees, but that Butler should discover
the iniquity and publish it to the world.
Paupers were left TO starve; insane
people were whipped to death; children
were left to die of hunger; people were
chained to the floor and by way of pun
ishment, attendants used jump upon
them; food served was of most execrable
kind; bodies were left in cells until eaten
by the rats; the inmates we're deprived
of what little money they had and wrong
entries made in the books so as to cheat
the people; a regular trade was carried
on in the sale of the bodies of paupers
to medical colleges; some even were
skinned and the skins sent to tanneries
crueltles which would disgrace the Dark
Ages were of almost daily occurrence.
Butler has exposed this state of affairs
and he is denounced, even by SO reput-
able a journal as The Springfield Repub-
lican. The trouble is, the people of
pious Massachusetts cannot become re-
conciled to the election of a man who
advises preachers to tend strictly to their
own business, and who boldly says aud
proves, that the administration of affairs
has not been pure and good.
