Unclean Butchers.

Last week an article appeared in these
olumns calling attention to the abuses ex-
isting in regard to the sale of diseased meat.
The Daily Republican, which is always con-
servative in its criticisms, commenting on
said article in its issue of Thursday last, used
the following language;-
These statements were so horrible that,
" although we suspected such a traffic, we
" made inquiry to see if they were actually
true, and to Our horror the picture was
" drawn to us in still darker colors. We
livery much dislike to publish such articles,
and would not do it were it not that the
"public should know that there are such
90 human vampires in our market. Two or
I" three of these men are we'll known, for
they have frequently figured in police an
90 nails for violations of market ordinances,
" and there are no doubt others not so well
" known, who are following the same nefari-
90 GUS business of selling diseased meat, but
"who would be found out if we had an hon
'' est and competent meat inspector for our
&" markets.
" Where there is no check upon dishonest
"and unclean men engaging in such dis
honest business, the temptation is very
"great to engage in it in pecuniary point
=" of view. Only immag ne the advantage a
" man has who buys beef carcass for fif
g teen dollars, because the carcass is diseas-
"ed, over the man VINO pays forty dollars
d" for pure, clean carcas. The dishonest
{" man sells his mea' for as much pound as
'' the hnnest man sells good meat, and clears
I" two hundred and fifty per cent, while the
honest butcher is glad to clear ten per
" cent.
." But outside of this is result that
"caunot be reckoned by dollars and c-nts.
" Property stands as an equivalent for
money, but health is more than money.
" No balances, however well poised, can
" weigh the value of health. Now, what
"must be the terrible results of tainted
+" meat upon the public health. The great

" ated food, but what must be the dreadful

The Board of I,,,ication.

Among the new rules ai5i bylaws passed
by the Board of Education on Monday last
for their own government !. the following:
a member who shall fail to attend three con-
secutive meetings, shall bo dropped aud his
place filled as other members places are.
At first sight this new regulation looks
somewhat stringent and as if the fact were
not borne in mind by the suggesters of the
new bylaw that the Office Of member of the
Board of Education is an elective one The
elected by them to serve certain term.
City Council has not the power to vote one
of its members disqualified from holding
office, nor has the Legislature such power in
regard to its membership.
Impeachment may accomplish the end.
But it is quite probable that our citizens
are anxious to learn what authorization the
Board of Education has for declaring va
Cdhb 1lC pOsiuioh VI aH9 iASAhpo' Va phe
Board elected to such position by the pub
lie vote of the people to serve them in that
capacity for the term of two years, aud that
election already validated by said Board.
What right has the Board Of Education to
disqualify any elected and qualified member
and in such peremptory manner aunul the
dictum of the citizens of Wilmington Ii
is plausible conception that in this act the
Board is proceeding ultra Cires. Legisla-
ture has given the Board OF Education pow
er to make bylaws. The question comes
up now whether there is embodied in that
power the right to disqualify any of its
elected and duly qualified members from
holding office in the Board for other rea.
sons than those the statute provides.

Church and Tariff.

The big men at the Episcopal Congress
which is sitting at New Haven this week,
devoted their attention on Wednesday after
noon to that tiresome old subject the tariff
IL is a strange subject for church congress
to take hold Of Nevertheless sides were
taken and debate maintained with as
much vigor and gusto as if the members
present were some of her worldly sons, not
the Fathers of the church.
Bishop Dudley of Kentucky made ring
lug Free Trade speech. Charles Heber said
sit is improbable that G cd filled the hills of
Pennsylvania with coal, limestone, and iron
with the intent that we should go to Eng
land for pig-iron. God could not have ar
ranged it that the great bulk of profits
should 60 to manufacturing nation. +"
The ubiquitous Professor Sumner of Yale
was present and enunciated his doctrines in
the usual manner upon the subject. Jest
before the close of the meeting "a difference
of opinion and much heated language nc-
CURED between the Rev. Frederick Court
ney, of Boston, and Charles Heber Clark of
Philadelphia. The secretary had to ring his
call bell sharply to bring the disputants to

Of these ministers it can be said ''they are
as other men," That number of reverend
fathers disclose themselves as alive to the
Importance of current political topics, is we
consider rather to their credit than other
wise. They are of the world bu. not neees-
sarily worldly. That topics usually occu-
pying the attention of secular gatherings
sheuld be found the spontaneous subject of
rigorous disquisitiou among clericals is
rather pleasing to laymen, however much
the latter may regret to view the 'old

40 Comfort for the Slaughtered.

In an interview with Professor McMaster,
of the University of Pennsylvania, yester-
day, he said: SIT was my misfortune to be
in the terrible accident of last Sunday night.

three hours that which struck me most was
the insolence and inhumanity of the Pull

to get sheet which might tear in order
to bind mans fractured head This was
rudely refused. l then requested the use
of mattress to use as stretcher to carry
the wounded on, but, to my surprise and
horror, this, too, was refused; and, more
than this, the mangled bodies of the poor
victims, instead of being laid comfortably
in some section of the Pullman car, were
placed on the bare floor of the baggage-car,
and were without mattresses until the Pull
man people were forced to bring some."

The only explanation given in connection
with this peculiar action is that Mr.. Bayard
became offended at Mr.. Butler just before
he went into the Cabinet. Before accept
ing the Office of Secretary of State Mr..
Bayard asked several of his fellow Senators
as to the propriety of making the change.
Mr.. Butler strongly advised him not to go.
With the frankness of friend he dwelt
upon the lack of his capabilities for such a
position. One of the Senators circulated a
paper on the Democratic side for signatures
commendatory of Mr.. Bayard to the Presi-
dent for Cabinet position. Mr. Butler re-
fused to sign this paper upon the ground
that he thought he should remain in the
Senate. It is believed that Mr.. Buffers
course at the time wounded Mr.. Bayard,
and that his course in the Bordeaux matter
was influenced by the stngs of his wounded
vanity.
AS has been generally known the politi-
cal and social relations existing between
Senators Bayard and Butler were very close.
In the St. Louis convention of 1880, Senator
Butler did all that mortal man could do to
stay the the Tilden tide and to guide the
Bayard bark into the Presiden tial port
Again in 1884 Senator Butler labored in
defatigably for his friend Bayard in the
Chicago convention, but, forsooth, because
Senator Butler frankly told Mr.. Bayard
that in the event of his being Secretary OF
State that che (Bayard) would be diplo.
matist without diplomacy" An unpalitable
statement must be admitted, yet subsequent
history verifes the correctness of Senator
Buffers position
The Delaware statesman was mortally agi
grieved by such appalling candor and Sena-
tor Butler no longer finds favor at the Bay
ard Manor.
Mr.. Bayards exploits as Secretary o.
State is ample evidence that Senator But
Ter had just conceptions of his colleague
ability whom he stated that Bayard woult
be 'diplomaGist without diplomacy"
While Secretary Bayard is anxiously
awaiting the coming of another Presiden
tial convention, he can with profit, ponde
over these words:-

And foolish notion"

A special despatch from Washington
says: Secretary Bayard, according to re-
ports has lost the friendship Of one of the
most intimate of his Senatorial associates.
Senator M. G. Butler, of South Carolina,
sat at his left hand for number of years.
The South Carolina Senator was one of the
firm supporters of Mr.. Bayard for the Presi-
dency, 1t is now said that Senator Butler
refuses to go to the State Department, and
while making no complaint takes no further
interest in the fortunes of the Secretary of
State.
Senator Butler is not rich man. He has
to depend upon his Senatorial salary for the
living of himself and family. He is one of
the most agreeable men socially in Wash
ington. President Arthur took great
liking 10 hum, and of bis own motion ap-
pointed the Senator's son consular clerk.
This post pays a thousand dollars year.
These positions, however, were intended
for the training of future consuls. Young
Mr.. Butler was at Bordeaux when the ad-
ministration changed hands, He had been
a consular clerk then for nearly two years,
and had been in charge of the Consulate at
Bordeaux for three months, during the ill
ness and absence OF Mr. Roosevelt, the regu.
lar Consul.
He confidently expected to be made
Consul at this place. 1t would have beer
the natural and graceful thing fol- Mr.. Bay
ard to have done. Young Butler was well
equipped and capable. 1t seemed to be Sc
clear chat he would be appointed that the
Consul in charge resigned, taking it fol
granted that his place would be wanted
In his letter of resignation lie recommended
young Butler as his successor. He spoke
of his qualifications and dwelt upon the
fact that he had been in charge for thre'
months, to the satisfaction Of every
one.
Mr.. Roosevelt then came home. He hat
certain matters to settle at the State De
partment. He came 70 Washington, anC

President johnson sIandered.

On last Wednesday, Chauncey NJ. Depew
of New York, gave to the press an open let
ter to Col Fred D. Grant dated October IL,
1885, in response to a request from Col
Grant for the particulars of conversation
Mr.. Depew had with Gen. Grant about four
years ago at dinner, and to which MIR.
Depew had recently referred in a speech be-
fore the New York Chamber of Com
merce.
The letter occupies column, solidly set
and the gist of the whole matter is, 'that
Gen. Grant at said dinner, charged Presi-
dent johnson with the intent of disrupting
the country by instigating second rebel
lion in the Southern States and would have
succeeded had it not have been ior his
(Grant' 81 sagacity and wondrous loyalty"
This Wholesale defamation of President

note:-

The Russian spy system of logging citizens at

repulsive to American feeling that our District
Commissioners do vel! in promptly denying the
current reports that they have employed detec-

Is no subterfuge In this denial and that Police
Superintendent Dye is not carrying or this spy
business with or without the knowledge Of the
Commissioners. There ought to be noreason to
suppose the police force would be degraded in
this way, but so many scoundrelly practices in
the line OF manufacturing detective evidence
have been exposed OF late that it Will be well
for Major Dye to be able clear his skirts of any
suspicion that he any of his men are follow
