senator Butler on tho Situation.

Senator Butler arrived in Colum-
bia on tho Goth of August whilst the
Conference was in session. "A COR
respondent Of the Charleston World
interviewed him as follows:
Senator Butler said
"lf tho Farmers Movement men
'hh,s%e,a majority in the September
conventions aa49a. aninoyity should ac-
Quiesce a. tie result
cit is rumored, General" said the
reporter, that under certain ciroum-.
stances, the n%on-seating of some
Anti Tillman delegations, for in
stance, there will appear to be justi-
fication for not recognizing the ao.
ton of the September convention"
st is not prudent or wise or pro-
per-" replied he, "to have a split or
a bolt, aohether the action of Tie con
ventton be regular or ayegulor.
There IS nothiaeg to 10 bit to &C.
guiesce. Nfs either that or Rep16-
icanism."
"ls much interest taken in the
political situation here by Democrats
in Washington ?"
"There is, decidedly"
"Nhat do our representatives in
Congress have to say about it ~
"Every Donocratin Scnatnr." said
the General, "with whom I have
convcrsed, concurs with me in the
views | have expressed to you. I
have talked with all Of them. sThoro
is no difference of opinion among
them. They believe that a bolt or a
split would be fatal and ought not to
be thought Of"
Senator Butlor said that he had
been asked for his views by the Anti
Tillman advisory committee, and
that he had given it as his opinion
that the ticket nominated by the
September convention should be up
ported by the entire Democratic
party Of the State.
lie further stated that he had con.
vcrscd with Gen. johnson Hagood,
of Barnwe'l, and had found him. Of
the same opinion.
The General expressed the earnest
wish that conservative views would
be adopted by the conference, and
the people generally. It was his i'm
preston that conservatism would pre-
vail.
Senator Butlcr left the city on the
evening train to spend a week on his
farm IN Edgefield.
1t is o noteworthy fact that the
cession of Heligoland is really the
capshcaf in the uniication Of Ger
many, regarding Heligoiand, from its
geographical standpoint, as German
soil. It was PRINCE Bismarck's am
bition to add this little atom Of tor
ritory to the Empire which he crea-
ted. Its possession by England, al
though not originally seized from
Germany, was q ranking thorn in
the side9of the German nation, like
Gibraltar to Spain, Malta to Italy,
Alden to Arabia, and such rs Calais
was for centuries to France. The
floating; of tic british flag eve. u
long outpost in the North Sea has
been q perpetual reminder to the
world5of Prussia's great humiliation,
and its surrender IS tho Drown Of
Prussia's triumph. ssg

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-07-13
NOW ANOTHER STEP.

1t is mistake to suppose it lll-advised
to urge further improvement, now that it
has been resolved to make Sacramento's
streets frst-class highways. On the con-
trary, all human experience testifes to the
truth that the time of all others to urge
needed reforms is when community has
fairly and earnestly entered upon one.
For that reason the REcoRD-U UNION re-
views the earnest advice it extended weeks
ago, that the property-owners proceed
with the abolition of the post-awnings.
The good work has had fairly good
start and it ought to suffer no checks.
Now is precisely the time to push it; it
will be folly to put it off for another year.
In fact street Improvement is to be prose
cuted in those sections of the city where
the post-awning abomination is practically
unknown, while upon streets where the
post-awnings are the greatest offense there
is no call for expense to improve the high
ways.
The two reforms, therefore, can well
proceed hand in hand. When the Re
CORD UNION inaugurated the agitation
against the post-awnings it well considered
all the factors involved in the change, and
satisfied itself that the hanging awning,
the rolling screen or the absence of fixed
awnings would immensely improve the APP
pearance of the business streets, conserve
safety in case of fires, add to the comfort
of the people and prove money savers tc
property owners. 1t has had no reason tc
change its views. On the contrary, they
are confirmed by the better appearance Of
every place from which post-awnings have
been removed.
Let the property-owners examine the
subject dispassionately, as did the RECORD
UNION, and they will do as did this jour.
nal, tear down the post denominations in
front of their busi pess property, and il
substitutes are insisted upon, adopt the
rolling metal screen, that needs no annual
repairing and painting, is quickly put up
out of the way, is not repository for
articles offensive to the eye, hightens the
