tractors to carry doubtful states, but the
partnership was diSsol lived shortly after the
Inauguration. Attorney General Brewster
was very dear to President Arthur, and
through an accident when a child he comes
within the Talleyrand theory. Bernard
BigIin IS another B with whom Mr.. 1,rthur
had an acquaintance more or less intimate,
and there are several others who might be
named. Grover Cleveland in the course of
his interesting political career was at one
time defeated by a B, who subsequently
became one of his law partners. He was
Lyman K. Bass, and there was a second B
in the firm, Mr.. Bissell. The ex-President
He and Attorney General Garland met B

A long procession of BIS comes marching
do vn to US through the pages of anti-slavery
history. Col. Buford of Alabama is a
prominent actor on the stage in the tragedy
of Bleeding Kansas" In the opinion of
the old pro-slavery men there was no b so
bad and bold in all the land as John Brown
In the Senate of the United States Charles
Sumner denounced so severely Senator But
Ter Of South Carolina as to provoke the
wrath of Preston Brooks Of the same state
who struck him down at his desk n. T.
Banks became the first elected speaker of
the Republican party in 1855. Had Talley-
rand been southern man Banks would
have gone on his list and so would Bates Of
Missouri. Parson Brownlow would have
held place on it with the blacklist of
borders around his name; and, in
days later on he would have added Black
Bruce, who had the audacity TO come up
from Mississippi to the Senate with a recon
struction certificate of election as senator
In his pocket. To the House of Representa-
tlves about the same time, came Bowen as
"a czAt1tu
ing behind him As governor in Georgia
another B-Bullock-to run and ruin a
state as no state has ever been ruined in all
the history of American commonwealths,
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was a B
whom the south hated in the old DAYS be-
cause of his eloquent advocacy of abolition.
Later on stalwart republicans condemned
him for his abandonment of the grand old
party, and his espousal of mugwumpery.
THE BOSS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
What an illustration the re1oubtable
BenJamIn +. Butler of Massachusetts, affords
of the truth of the Talleyrand theory! In
peace and war, in public and in private
lie, In his own part of the union and in
every other quarter of it, the palm would
be universally decreed him as the man of
all men to whom the whole sidewalk should
be given. Since he came of age, more than
half century ago, he has belonged to every
political party-crank, patriotic and other
wise-that has arisen. Each and all in turn
wearied of him, and now he focks alone by
himself IN his old age. Samuel j. Tiden
suffered severely at the hands of B-Joe
Bradley, VIII, 1t can never be forgotten,
voted Hayes into the presidency The
name of Barnard has almost become a
synonym for judicial corruption, and Judge
Blount, of the supreme court of the United
States, was impeached Senator Blair of
d How ct,NK
men Of the genus crank, and "B So Buck
ley, the Blind White Devil" of San Fran
cisco, has built up political machine more
infamous than even Tweed could i agine.
Curlously enough, Inspector Byrnes must
stand up in the line. He is a professional
chaser, so that he fits into the theory
with certain degree of appropriateness.
The rivals of Boucicault will rejoice that
he is a B and weave around it a hundred
stories tor their own entertainment and
amusement Ii Barrett and Booth have
enemies, which is doubtful, they may find
In the alphabetical and artistic combination
OF The two great actors some peg on which
to hang tale that shows there are no ex-
ceptlons in the operation of the rule of the
great Frenchman. The two leaders in the
circus world are two B'S-Barnum and Bal
ley. No offenSe, but if the elder Bennett
what B was there-if James Gordon Ben
nett the First, were alive, he might recall
his memorable advertising war with Bar
mum, IN which he was badly worsted by the
great Snowman. There was Jubilee in the
museums when the victory was won. The
woolly horse neighed and the mermaids
clapped their hands for Joy.
THE BIS IN NEW YORK POLITICS.
When the democratic national committee,
some days ago. elected Mr.. Brice as chair
man, its members took big risks in the B
H~y,n a.1- L. n
but it was another brand-a B who was a
terror to his enemies and not to his friends
liz is curious fact that the BIS have not
been successful in New York politics Since
the year 1866, when New York began to be
blessed with mayors, there have been
eighty nipe of these officials in all Only a
solitary four have belonged to the BIS,
namely: Bayard in 1885, Bayard in 1744
Bovine in 1880 and Brady In 1S47.
Benjamin F. Butler is the only B from
this state in the cabinet of any of the Presi-
dent. There have been only three BIS
among more than sixty United States mar
shals, and no has been "a United States
senator since Theodorus Bailey was chosen
In 1903, and Aaron Burr, in place of Philip
Schuyler, i'll 1871 Since 1777, when the
people began to elect governors, only one B
has succeeded IN getting in, namely,
William c. Bouck, in 1912. And it was net
because there were no BIS in the field, for
there were ten of them, beginning with
Aaron Burr in 1904. The defeated BIS for
the office were Buel, Bouck, Bradish, Brad
ley, Bronson, Brooks, Burrows, Brady and
Bascon. II there is a B in the state who is
ambitious to succeed Gov Hill, his first
step should be to apply to the legislature
and have his name changed
The name of Henry Bergh has been wait
ing long time to get off the pen Point
Why should Bergh be set down in the list?
There can be no question that the Howard
OF the brute creation accomplished a very
great work in the world, but, at the same
time Talieyrand would have classed him
among his BIS. He loved horses rather
than men, and it may be that he was wise
in his philosophy. Henry B. Blackwell, the
woman suffrage champion, does not make
bad match TO hitch up i" it'll Mr.. Bsrgh. He
belongs TO the amiable B's who do no great
harm in the world. Burnside, on the other
hand, was who did great deal. AS a
general he was formidable only to the
army he commanded. To name Buell.,
except in way of compliment, is to open
the foodgates of war literature and make
tens of thousands of people miserable Let
Buell. go with the simple statement that he
was b, which no one can deny. Beaure-
gard and Bragg and a score of other war
riors whose names will readily suggest
themselves may be set down in the same
category.
SOME FOREIGN BIS.
