II Is estimated that there are about 1oo.-
600 adult stamp-collectors in this country
and that no less than l00,0 900 complete sets
of the new Columbian stamps will be taken
by them at SIC per set.
We believe. however. that certain rare
Confederate stamps sell higher than any
other stamps ever issued in this country.
They are not strictly Confederate stamps,
however. but stamps issued by postmas-
tiers of LOCAL Offices in the interim between
the cessation of the United States su-
thority IN the South and before the in
sugurstion Of the Confederate postal sys-
TEN.
Whoever supposes that no has one of
these valuable stamps should not take IL
from the envelope II II Is affixed to an en-.
yelope. The collector wants the stamp,
postmsrk. and envelope entire.

"Characteristically Democratic"

"Characterlstlcaily Eemocratlc-
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
Democratic clubs which we're foremost in
opposing Mr.. CLEVELAND in the Chicago
convention are arranging to be foremost In
the inaugural parade, and adds that this is
as Enthusiastically Democratic "a any,
thing that was ever seen.
The Democratic clubs that opposed Mr..
CLEyrLaND's nomination wheeled into line
Immediately upon mis- selection as the
Democratic standard-bearer. Democratic
clubs as such cannot possibly expect TO be
appointed to Office. They may have per-
sons in them who expect Office, but such a
charge cannot be brought against the
club. Unworthy men force their way into
all these clubs, but the mass of the men,
bers are actuated by no selfish motives in
anything they do for the interests OF the
Democratic party. These things being
true, there is no reason why any Demo-
cratic club should not arrange to be
foremost" in the inaugural parade.

Rem. Butler ana Our War.

While we may admit that BENJAMIN F.
BurLxR was one OF the most remarkable
men that this country ever produced, we
must say that We are glad we have pro-
duced very few like him. He was often
opprobriously characterized, " but was
neyer called fool" aud to this circum-
stance he referred with pride in one OF his
speeches in the House of Representatives.
He was born IN Deerfeld, N. H., in 1918
and died in Washington yesterday,
and had ut one time or another belonged
10 every political party that had an ex-
istence in the Union during his lifetime.
He enjoyed collegiate education, was
trained for the bar. and early entered
pohtics ut Lowell. Mass. He began his
public career by successfully running for
the Legislature and ended it unsuccess-
fully by running for President OF the
limited States in 1884. He was adelegate TO
the National Democratic Convention held
M Charleston, s. O., in 1860. and voted
through many ballots for the Hon. JEFrER-
scs DAVIS for President When the con-
yention split he went of TO Baltimore
with that section. From that body he
soon seeded and went home.
Being a brigadier-genera OF the militia
Of Massachusetts,. BprLER was early in the
field with commission, and marched INTO
Baltimore with the Eighth Massachusetts,
Regiment in May. 1851; took possession OF
the city after the suppression OF some riot
ing, and few weeks later was made ma
jor-general of volunteer forces and assigned
60 the command Of Eastern Virginia, with
headquarters at Fortress Monroe. There
he coined the phrase " contraband p--con-
trsband Of WARRIOR runaway negroes. who
sought refuge from their masters in the
Fort.
A year later he and FAsRAour captured
New Orleans. His reign there was one OF
bsrbaric severity. He hanged the gallant
w.LnAx MusxosD upon slight provoca-
ton. He issued most odious order
against the ladies Of the Crescent City,
srtortsd money from all secossionists OF
wssafh; allowed his men 10 invade private
housA and appropriate silver spoons and
other lusb.os, and ruthlessly expelled

Death of Senator Kenna.

West Virginia lost faithful public ser
want when MIR. KENNA slept with his
fathers "a servant, too, whom that State
recognized as worthy of any honor which
sne could confer upon him. He died IN
Washington city yesterday morning. HIS
health had been impaired for long time,
but until very recently he and his friends
had hoped for his entire recovery from the
disease which ended his life.
JOHN EDWARD KESNA was in the 45th year
of his age. He was born in Valcoulon. In
West Virginia, April 10, 1S4s. Before he
was 16 years old he entered the Confede-
rate army. Indeed, he was just l6 when
he was wounded in 1864. He was surren-
dered in 1865 at Shreveport, La. He after
wards attended St. Yincent's College, IN
Wheeling. Then he studied law at Charles
ton, and was admitted to the bar in 1870.
From October. 1877. to March, 1888, he
served in the National House of Repre-
sentatives. lie was then transferred to the
Senate TO succeed Senator DAVIS, aud was
Il member of that BODY when he died.
Mr.. KENNA was West Vireinian by birth
anu III his thoIes- NeNCi Wuo ehOiO "
mountaineer more fond of his gun and his
hunting companions than was MIR. KENNA.
He was emphatlcslly man of the people.
Nobody doubted his popularity; but he
was far above seeking popularity. Tho
senator did not appear where Mr.. kENNA
mixed with his fellow-oitizens, but only
the man. No one who ever saw HIM in a
company of dozen West Virginia hunters
could doubt that he was entirely above
any unworthy ambition. He always and
everywhere was the man who as boy en-
tered the army of his country aud served
her as well as he could.
Mr.. KRNHA was not distinguished as a
statesman. But his fine common-seDse
made him valuable senator. and his set
speeches would have done credit to almost
any senator. Iu the last Congress he made
capital speech on the force bill and
stated the questions involved in that bill
with mach force of expression and charac-
terization. May his successor he both
capable of filling his seat and worthy OF
the high honor of succeeding to his legis-
lative mantle.
