Both charges are bad enough in all con-

GENERAL BUTLER says experience has
shown the laborng classes have nothing TO
hope from the republican party. The trst
and only object of protection in laying du-
ties should be to protect labor, and never
to protect capital which can be left to pro-
tect itself as it is amply able to do" Moth
ing could be truer than this. But why
should Il democrat go out of his own party
to support man who gives expression to
such ideas, when the platform Of his party
contains these identical ideas yes, when
they constitute the very cardinal prin.
cip!es upon which his party is founded
and which will lie made operative when his
party SHALL have control of all the branches
OF the government.

In HIS latest speech, General Butler said
"he waited to be President, but not for any
ordinary object He believed the republic
will wanc and die if the laboring people do
not closely look after their interests. All
he wanted to see is that the workipgman
NAV get ali he earns aud no more" Truly
the Generals love for workingmen surpass-
es that OF women. Bat workingmen who
WORK say that this sudden love was de
velupcI 800 late in life to do them any good.
Then, too, as the General has become a
millionaire by loving the monopolsts, the
working,nen rather doubt the sincerity OF
his sudden conversion to the cause of labor.

The BLOODY shirt is too potential as d
means of political warfare in the North LOT
it to be abandoned yet awhile at least, es-
pecially as, save private scandal, u IS
about the only offensive material the re-
publicans now have left for carrying on
their campaign. Consequently suol'
spe.ches as the following, fiom Blanche
in New York, are not surprising, though
rather disheartcning to the patriotic men
Of both the sections into which the repuo-
licaus divide the country:
"The humblcst drummer-boy who follow
ed the flag of the Union during the slave.
holders rebellion is to day more worthy, Of
honor in the land he helped to save tnan
the greatest orator and soldier who sough'
TO destroy the country of his birth and per
petuate human slavery. From henceiortn
until this rebel spirit is crushed out forever
and until the Copperheads of 1854 take
back seat in the councils of the democratic
party, |, for one, shall act and vote win tne
party which has no need to apologize Tor it'
war record"

WOMEN IN SLEEPING CARS A man can get
into 4 berth and shuck himself very comfortably.
He can stand on his knees and duck his head and
take of some of his clothes, and then he can lie
down on his shoulders o. the back Of his neck and
kick oil other articles of wearing apparel, because
when the buttons unbuttoned his clothes are
as liable to come of in the dark - III the light.
But it is different with woman Her clothes
are pinned on with all kinds Of pins from The
safety pin to the darning needle, tied on with
strings. hooked on with hooks and eyes. bucklcd
on with buckles and put on in many ways ONLY
known TO the fair sex. Give her large enough
room, three or four gas lamps and a large mirror
aud plenty Of time and she can find nearly all
the pins, strings. hooks and eyes buckles, etc.
and what she cant find she can break at night
and tic up in the morning: hut place her in n
small berth, in the dark, with only one or two
eyes to watch all the holes in the curtain to see il
anyhndy is looking, and only two small hands to
lind things to uniastcn, and she is in bad box
