The Standards:
The impression made upon the public
mind by the conference of single tax
men held in this city last week is indi-
Gated in the reports and comments of
the daily press.
But even to those of us who have
known the movement from the begin
ming and who, being at the center, as it
were, have been most fully apprised of
its wonderful spread and Of the zeal and
devotion it is arousing, this gathering
was a revelation of strength.
But the difficulties of bringing togeth-
er men from all parts of so wide coun-
try at such large personal expense, in
gathering involving no business interest
or pecuniary return, and having no of
fees to nominate for, no political pro-
gramme to make, no honors to bestow,
have all along seemed to me so great that
have been timid about national con-
ference, and whenever it has been propos-
ed have favored putting it off. This con-
ference owes nothing to my eXertion OF
influence. 1t is the work in my absence,
of moro sanguine men, and its greatsuc-
ment and faith.
The effect of this gathering upon the
single tax movement in the United
States can not fail to be most important
and most happy. Confident as we may
have been before, we are all more con-
tldent now. The bringing together of
so many earnest and intelligent men
from all parts of the country has given
them knowledge of each other, and a
faith and pride in each other, which
inspire new hope and fresh zeal. And
while it has shown us that the move
ment was even stronger than we imag-
| ined, the conference has given to the
| general public clearer idea of our pur"
pose, and more intelligent comprehen-
sion of the progress our principles are
making.
One of the indications of this is in the
numerous press comments which assume
that we have abandoned our original ex'
travagances and have become more rea'
sonable. The truth is that we stand
precisely where our feet were first
planted. The change is in public opin'
ion. What then seemed eXtravaganl
now seems more reasonable, because II
has become familiar and is better un
derstood And just as our work OF edu
cation progresses, so will our principles
appear more and more reasonable tt
those who at first most bitterly opposed
them. But SO long as men face right
we need not, to use Mr.. Garrison's sim
lie, quarrel with their impression
that the points of the compass have
changed.

General Daniel Butterfield is proud Of
his army record, as he has reason to be,
and has taken measures to perpetuate
the memories of his days in camp and
battlefield. In one of the parlors of his
spacious house he has made a collection
of his military arms, accoutrements and
trophies, which is not only extensive
but decidedly interesting. 1t includes
swords, sword belts, sashes, epaulets,
shoulder straps, uniforms hats and caps,
riding boots, spurs, saddles, brides,
pistols and in fact every thing which he
sent home or brought home from the
war. He had several magnificent swords
presented to him and pair of diamond
mounted spurs, by admirers of his SOL
dierly qualities. There is nothing the

DR.. d. j. Burrill's lecture at the
Baptist church last evening on Oliver
Cromwell, was well attended. The
Reverend gentleman took up the Ca
reer of the person of his subject and
followed it step by step until the close
of the eventful life. From his stand
point, the speaker made Cromwell out
to be a tyrant of the most virulent
type, and while he cited history as au-
thority for much of his representa-
tiOnS of the man, he drew conclusions
quite in contrast to the opinions held
by large portion of his audience, in
that he declared him political hypo-
critic and religious brawler, a brutal
ruler and piratical usuper. Mr.. Bur-
rill is forcible speaker, an original
thinker and an interesting lecturer
He plainly evidenced the fact last
night that he was no admirer of DIV
er Cromwell. and that he did not hes
itate to say so proves that he has the
courage of his convictions and is not
possessed of that can't too often found
in men seeking fiattery at the hands
of the public. He is plain, blunt,
matter-Of-fact gentleman who has a
clear way of expressing his views. and
while they may not be endorsed by
his hearers, his smooth way of putting
things relieves him from appearing OBJ
noXious or presumptiye to a great ex
tent. The lecture was thought
fully prepared, and though
most Of the audience was probably
not sufficiently well posted in the his
tory of the period treated of and the
contemporaneous events to fully ap-
preciate the picture drawn by the
speaker, yet it proved one of the best
on the course.
