Every man has right to believe

and consequently has tho right to
expound the doctrine Of his belief;
but when men expound one doctrine
one. day, next day turn enemy 70 his
yes terdays self and expound doc
trine directly opposite to his yester'
days doctrine, and ON the uay fol-
lowing his doctrine again gives way
to new do:trlne and aluminium so
that each change of doctrine, school,
party or sect must be reorganlzed to
conform to the new doctrine disor-
ganization and reorganization adm
finitum will be the result and moth
ing more can result. For by the
time a disorganlzation can take
place and reorganization effected,
another change Of doctrine is an \
nounced. Now we undertake 10 say
that these kind Of men can justly be
set down among those who have no
conscientious principles Of action
whatever, and l have only TO appeal
to the common judgment ofall living
men as well as TO the history of the
Judgment Of the millions of dead men
in the application of their judgments
to the lost and ruined institutions Of
the world to prove what / say. Again
| say that stability OF purpose, I'M
swerving and unflinching energy of
soul devoted to that purpose is the
only trait Of human character that
has ever accomplished anything
either great, grand or noble since the
building of Noahs Ark, or before.

to engraft their sentiments into the

way can governments be progressive

people governing themselves. Hence
"Demokratos" 1.-THE people rule" A
nobler saying than this was never
said. All this stuff / care not by

inhalation of party and party lines is
a most miserable fraud from the sane

fools (if it be conscientious) and il
not conscientious it is already con-
because it's born in he and
fashioned in iniquity. Parties are
as lawful in their nature, us the law
that all men should believe as they
please, men OF one opinion have as
much right To associate themselves
together for the advancement and
PRONUNCIATION Of their opinions as
that they have right to think; nor
can any law or sanction Of law, nor
noise of political bigots to the con-

or annul this right. Political prin

Vas 1t robbery.
IN. Y. World, Editorial. |

We would like to know how Gen. Butler
explains his conduct in theicase of the Smith
Brothers, of New Orleans. who sued him af-
ter the war and made him restore to them
$40, 900 that he seized in their bank while in
military command there ID 1862. The facts
are largely on record in the United States
District Court of New York and they are not
to be dispelled with that evasive 1ippaacy so
characteristic of the SUMS candidate for the
presidency.
The Smith brothers were New York men
who had gone to New Orleans and established
a private bank. Butler he'd no more right to
invade their establishment and take their
money than he had to burglarize a private
residence. But he did it under the guise of
military expediency As the commander of
the army of occupation he had the undoubted
right to confscate the property of persons in
a state of actual rebellion, but the Smith
brothers were northern smen and had COM
mitted no disloYal act. Even supposing they
had done SO, thus giving. Butler the right to
confscate, it would have been his duty. of
course, to turn the peaeS realized into the
United States Treasury. But he did not do
that.
The war closed, aud Smith Brothers, be-
lieving they had valid claim against the
government went to the treasury "a. wash
ingtOn, but were told that the money had
not been turned in. They then put their
case in the hands of Mr. Edwards Pierrepont
who brought suit for them in the United
States Circuit court of New York against
Butler. The suit was decided in favor of
the plaintiffs and Butler had to disgorge.
If this is not truthful statement of this
case we would like to see one made by some
one authorized to do so by Gen. Butler him
self. We will promise to give it a place in
the World But If it be really true that
Butler took the $4,000 from the Smith Broth
ers on the pretext of confscating it, or any
other pretext, and failed to report it to the
Treasury department at Washington, bnt
put it in his own pocket and carried it there
until compelled, by lawful verdict fifteen
years later, to restore it to its rightful own
ers, we desire to know how far such conduct
is removed from robbery. That is what it
would re called if it had beeu done by Frank
James or any other distinguished highway
mon or bandit

New Orleans Special.

There arrived in this city last evening at
o'clock at the head OF Soraparu street an old
and dilapidated skiff which had brought and
safely landed three persons who embarked
in at st Louis five weeks ago and who had
made the voyage of the river between these
cities during the time. The persons referred
to consisted of man wife and child. The
husband, Timothy O'Callahau, who is about
thirty years old, together with his wife, Cath
arine, some ten years younger, being desir-
Gus of coming South, but not having suffi-
cient means for their journey determined
upon making the trip in skiff, which Mr..
O'Callahan purchased in st. Louis for a small
sum. They stopped at several towns and
cities en- route, and twice exhausted their
money to the last cent On arriving at New
Orleans last evening Mrs. O'Callahan
was discovered to be so worn out by the trip,
and SO Frustrated with malarial or swamp
fever. from exposure, that she was conveyed
to the Charity Hospital, while Mr.. o, Callahan
and their three year-old daughter were kind
ly taken care of by German, Mrs. Stoten-
burger, residing near the Soraparu Market.

Coming Events.

Large sized photographs of James G.
Blaine's 800, 600 palace In this city have
been and are now being numerously distri-
buted throughout Maine and other New Eng
land states. The object is to show how the
members of congress can make money rapid
~, and build for themselves palatial man
sions. Mr. Blaine has rented his house fur
nished' to Mr.. Letter, of Chicago, retired
merchant. it is said, for $4,000 per year.
The mansion is said to be one of the finest
and most deliberately furnished in the coun-
try. When Mrs Blaine was in Europe she
purchased all the fine art for the mansion in
Paris and it is common gossip that it was ad-
mitted through the custom honse free of du-
ty, Mr.. Blaine at the time being secretary of
state.
His opponents two years ago distributed
photographs of the mansion of ex-senator
Window of Minnesota, which is said did
considerable towards defeating him for re-
election to the United States Senate from
that state. The same thing was done
in the case of ex-Secretary Robe
son when he was candidate
for reelection to the forth-eighth congress
from the Camden MD district. All these
statesmen who have built elegant mansions
in the city, have so far been defeated when
they went before the people for reelection.
Ex-senator Pendleton, who built an elegant
house adjoining Robeson's, and near Win
dom's was the last of those defeated. Don
Cameron whose stately mansion is in the
same neighborhood, it is said, will probably
be retired at the end of his present senate
rial term, which expires next March.
1t is the intention of the Democrats to dis
tribute Photographic pictures of the immense
granite stone mansion on Capitol hill. 1t is
said that every labor organization will receive
| one of these pictures. Buffers house is one
of the objects always pointed out to strangers
who visit the capitol. 1t is said that it is a
| finer palace than the White house. and it was
occupied by President Arthur in lieu of the
executive mansion when he succeeded to the
| presidency after President Garfield died, and
he remained there during the first few
months of his administration. Poor Ben
rents his house to Senator Jones, one of the
bonanza kings of Nevada. The building is
now divided into three distinct houses, Con-

in real estate, but he purchased
in 1858, eighty acres of land near what is
now known as Posts Siding, for
300; at present worth $50, 900.
OF course, like all the rest of the
old settlers, he let it go for just what 1t cost
him. 1t is the old story; We need not re-
peat it. He has saved home, however, on
Pleasant avenue. which is now quite valu-
able, and is a lovely retreat for his declining
years.
THE REAL MAN.
For thirty odd years, during which time
we have known Mr.. Combs quite intimately,
we have always found him an agreeable and
pleasant gentleman. His sunny nature has
never left him, and clings to him even now.
His early history west is full of romance,
and very few could pass through the many
trials he encountered when a mere boy,
without greatly marring even less perfect
disposition than that which is
owned by Mr. Combs, and yet
he is as genial to-day as he was over a quar-
ter of a century ago. A fine looking man,
straight, commanding with a frank, free,
open countenance, he wins his way among
his fellow men, and though not blessed with
a superabundance of this worlds goods, yet
he scatters pearls of sunshine wherever he
goes, and thus we leave him-''the noblest
Roman of them all.r
BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD.
Backward, turn backward, time in your fight,
Make me a child again just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as Of yore,
Kiss from my forehead the burrows OF care,
Smooth the few silver threads ont of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.

TSaratoga Letter to the Washington Star

Saratoga Letter 10 the W washington star.
Mrs. "Lucky'' Baldwin is the latest sensa-
ton at the hotel where she stays. She is
only feet inches in height, but well
formed and rather pretty. She is nineteen
years old but looks like girl of twelve, and
dresses like one. Her skirts are short and
her brown hair hangs down in two braids
tied at the end with ribbon. Lucky, her hus-
band is sixty one years Of age and a grand
father The romantic story is told that the
present Mrs. Baldwin studied architecture in
san Francisco with her father, whose profes
sion it is. He was summoned to appear be-
fore building board in San Francisco to
give his views on ventilation, but beng too
i'll to do so, his bright young daughter pre-
pared the report and read it before the board,
of which Mr.. Baldwin was a member. So
successfully did she present her plans that
the wealthy widower fell in love with the
young architect, courted her, and in due
course Of time she accepted the heart and
hand of one of Califofnia's most success
full spectators. They were married about
two months ago. Mrs. Baldwin appeared at
the hotel hop Saturday night in pretty white
muslin, trimmed with embroidery and lace.
The baby waist was confined by sash of
pink ottoman ribbon, and her long braids of
hair tied up with pink ribbons. Bows OF
pink ribbon were on each shoulder. Around
her head was a wreath of maiden hair fern
studded with tuberoses and pink buds. She
looked the embodiment of the ideal ''child-
ish simplicity so seldom seen nowadays.
She wears scarcely any jewelry, and what
she wears is of the least snowy kind. There
are children here of ten and twelve years
old who look more matronly and dress more
more like mature women than does this lit
bride. She does not seem to have had her
head turned in the least by her thus far sue
cessful matrimonial venture, nor by the at
tention she attracted during this her first
trip TO the east.
