BurLEn WITHOUT AMBITION.
A Letter In Which he Shows How Poor
h. lis Presidential Chances Are.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1G.-Gov. Butler, Of
Massachusetts, has written letter to the
anti.monopoly paper, the Globe, published
here, which nominated him for the Presi.
dency, in which he says:
az think little examination Of political
history will convince you that, II your fiat
teriug estimate OF my love OF country and
service In its behalf already done, and
which might possibly do, be correct, my
nomination would be far beyond the
hounds OF probability, II within the limits
OF possibility. For thirty years both po.
litical parties have looked for their candi.
dates 10 four pivotal States, New York, Il
linois, Pennsylvania and Ohio. And II has
been utterly useless for any man in any
other State to expect nomination, how.
ever much he might strive foPsjt. A good
illustration OF this Is seen in the case OF
Mr.. Blaine. He hoped that the position OF
the State OF Maine, voting so early and
its election having so great an influence on
the following campaign, would make that,
in some sort, apivotal State, aSd that he
could be nominated. But you know what
happened. So, again, in regard to Mr..
Hendricks, Of your own State. BY keep.
ing that State In position to vote SO early
in October and having SO large an intlI.
ence upon the campaign, his friends SEEM
ed TO think that he might have hopes OF
the nomination from Indiana as a pivotal
State, and his long acquaintance with pub:
lie affairs and public services seemed to
point 10 him as a tlt person TO be nomin.
ated, but the rule applied to him intlexi.
bly,. Living in the State Of Massachu husetts,
in one corner Of the Union, l have no be-.
lief that the rule which the politicians
have made for themselves In this regard
during this generation will be set aside in
my behalf. Therefore, thanking you again
for your Naltering expressions Of esteem,
permit me to say that I have no special
hopes or ambition in that regard.n fr

Several weeks ego George Arkle was on
complaint OF the Board ot Public Works,
arraigned in police court on the charge Of
obstruCting the street by deposiling stone
for building on north Main street. without
written permission from the BS ard, as re.
quired by the city ordinance. AT the trial
Il was developed that Mr.. Arkle was mere.
" sub.contraCtor, and that the principal
contractor had obtained the required per.
mission. The rules OF the Board, however,
REQUIRE each subcontractor to have special
permission in such cases, and accordingly
Mr.. Arkle was fined SO and costs. He
took an appeal TO the Circuit court, and the
case was tried 10 a jury yesterday, the re.
suit being the reversal OF the judgement oI
the lower court and a decision in favor Of
Mr.. AIkle.
The case turned not on the rule Of the
Board, but on o question OF fact. Mr.
Aikle introduced evidence that he had ap
piled for permission and had been inform
cd by the Clerk OF the Board and one o
the members that separate permission wa
not necessary. In view Of this testimony
the verdict mentioned was given. Thu

statement a practical hint for sincere
workers in the real cause of temperance.
Comparatively few persons understand
how completely the matter OF licensing
places to sell liquor rests with the discre-

haps, judges would refuse to license
places shown by the satisfactory evil
dence to be useless and not coming

public. That a very great many licensed
places are of this character cannot be
gainsaid, and it would seem that those
who really serve the public accommoda.
ton would be profited by the elimination
of those who do not. 1t is likely that a
rigid enforcement of existing laws, the
requirement by courts of affirmative
proof that every place which asks fol
License is a public necessity, and th'
efforts of temperance reformers to dis
prove this in all cases where it could b'
shown to the contrary, would greatly re

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Miller Fastened in His Burning Mill.

A Miller Fastened in HIS BurninS Mill.
On Saturday morning shortly after mid
night the little village of Hadley, about
twelve miles north of Mercer, Pa, was the
scene of bold outrage which might have
resulted in murder. During the past few
months three successive attempts have
been made to burn the grist mill of Hazen
Bros, and for some time the mill has
been watched night and day. On Friday
night the son of the proprietor watched
until near midnight, and then went to the
house and walked Mr.. William HazeD, who
was to watch the rest of the night. The
latter went first to the barn and was at
tending to some stock when he heard a
noise at the mill. He fastened there at
once.
just as he entered the door some one
struck him over the head and he fell in
sensible to the floor. When he recovered
his senses be found himself gagged and
tied haud and foot to a large grindstone.
He struggled, but was threatened with
instant death if he did not keep quiet. His
assailauts robbed him of nearly s400 and
then set fire to the mill and departed, fas-
tening the door by placing prop against
it and leaving Mrs. Hazen bound and
helpless in the burning building.
The flames made rapid progress, while
MIR. Hazen frantically endeavored to free
himself. In his strugglee he pulled the
gripdstone over upon him and managed to
get loose from it. He rolled across the

was manifestly an effort to defeat the
of the tariff. If the bill had

the country is in favor of a reduction OF

only to special interests, and not even
to the wisest advocates of them. Inc
iron interest is especially making an
uproar. and a most bitter one, over a
reduction of the duties on iron, which Is

AGAINST the pricks the more you KICK
the more you are hurt. Wise men
accept the inevitable and accommodate
themselves to it; which they can readily
do when there is nothing in it very harm
full to them. A reduction of the iron
duties, such as is indicated in the Senate
bill, will not be very harmful to the
iron interests; the reduction IS not
as great as the one offered by the next
Congress will be, if the question is lett
open to it. A great many men In the
iron trade are hurt by the present con
dition of its prices, and great man!
more will be. 1t is these men who make
the noise now. They have works dlsad
yantageously located, and are therefore
not able to endure the competition o.
close prices. Four steel mills in tn
West. for instance, are now shut dOWl
