The Work OF One Bullet.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May ll.-Wsr-
rem G. Butterworth, aged seventy, OF
Warren, committed suicide this afternoon
by shooting himself through the head
with a rifle. His daughter Emma, aged
twenty three, who was trying to prevent
her father from doing the rash act, re-
ceiyed the bullet in her brain after it had
passed through her fathers head, and
she died two hours later. Butterworth
had been in i'll health of late, and des-
pondent, and insanity is supposed to have
been the cause.

When the guide began his story in q
resonant voice he was told that General
Longstreet was almost deaf and that he
would have to address his tale to the par.

Then was presented the singular sight
of an humble participant in historic
contest, sounding description of it thir-
ty years after for the information of one
of the chief actors in it, and the

tale.
"But that is not strange" said General
Howard later, when you consider that
even general commanding could not see

TIE excitement and discussion over
the question Of giving Catholic schools
q share efthe school fund in the differ
ent states, whore proposals have been
made looking that way seems entirely
unnecessary. With large portion of
Catholics opposed to such policy and a
pronounced sentiment against it among
the non-C Catholic population, there is no
likelihood whatever Of any such measure
being seriously pushed. We believe that
the American people are ready to con-
slider any fair plan Of compromise on the
school question such rs that proposed by
Archbishop Ireland, b. they will never
consent to appropriations Of public
money for Catholic schools. 1t the
Catholics are entitled to such appropria-

was quito Gov. Mckinley and Mr.. Neal,
whether they had any sympathy with

Wilson bill in the lower house. If their
intention is to fihbnster their only hope
is In the senate where the najority is
small.
The minority report Of the Ways and
. Means Committee mostly the work OF
Mr.. Reed, indicates nothing % to the
method Of defense except what was al
ready known TO the people. But one
part in particular shows the weakness of
the defense. y The inference is drawn
that high wages and high tariff go hand
in hand. It is not true that tariff raises
wages. The comparison made between
wages in this country and England is
misleading. Wages as 9 general thing
are higher in this country than in Eng
land. But this fact does not warrant
any body in saying that the difference is
accounted for by the fact that here We
have protection and in England free
trade. Why are the wages IN free trade
England higher than in the protected
COUNTRIES Of Europe? The Republican
syllogism leads to opposite conclusions
where the same premises are applied to
different countries.
But Mr.. Reed says the tariff gives
steady employment under the influence
of sure market" .as
This is the most sarcastic utterance
ever made by that sarcastic gentleman.
There never has beer a time in this
country whyn employment was SO un-
steady and markets SO unsure as at pres
ent. There is an overstocked market
and this is just what the Mckinley tariff
has produced. The country is now pa
tiently working of the overstock; while
Mckinley and Reed are trying to make
US believe frse trade is with us. The
fact is We have with us our widely known
friend the Mckinley tariff.
If the present Congress acts promptly
ali will be we'll with the Democrats. The
present trouble is not without its bright
side. There is no denying that the con-
sumption at present exceeds the produc-
ton Of manufactured articles. This state
of affairs will lead to depletion, and labor
will then be in greater demand.
Meanwhile the people who do not look
below the surface stand by and wonder
why this great country with it's fertile
soil, productive mines, vast forests, and
unequalled facilities for transportation,
where there Is SO much work to be done,
and 80 much to be had for the work
should be in it's present condition.

THE TARIFF STRUGGLE.

Congress is now watched and looked to
by the American people as it has not
been since 1860. The partisan press Of
the country and the politicians can al
ways be trusted to watch for political
capital. But today hegreat mass Of the
people--those whose capital is unem-
ployed or non-productive and those
whose labor is unemployed or required
only at reduced wages and reduced hours
are anxiously looking to Congress for re-
lief. The responsibility OF the present
administration is therefore greater than
any other since the war.
