GENERAL BUTLER.

Opinions will probably remain diverg-
ent concerning the integrity of General
Buffers administration of affairs in New
Orleans. In his book General Butler
challenged his enemies to successfully
assail his acts, and pointed out that the
Government had approved all he did in
New Orleans, down to the contract pur-
chases he made.
However all this may be, the death of
General Butler removes from life one
of the most prominent figures in the
history of this nation in the last half of
the century. His life was one of intens Q
activity. He was tireless in the exercise
of his energy; he was a brave man be-
yond all question, and that he served his
country courageously and most happily
in the darkest hour of war there are none
TO deny
He came of a fighting family. His
father was a soldier under Jackson. and
the whole line of his ancestry shows the
pugnacious characteristic strongly pre-
dominant His aptitude for the practice
Of the law was great, but his aggressive
characteristics made him in that profess
sion mainly man of assault. That he
was good lawyer and a splendid debater
is proved by the early success he
achieved, his practice income at the
breaking out of the war having been So
600 a year.
He was born politician, and it must
be conceded that he first chose sides from
honest belief, because he cast his lot
with the weaker party. But later he
changed his political raiment often. though
always contending that it was not he but
the political parties that shifted. His ma
tive eloquence, his fearIessness, his plain
speaking, his combative disposition, his
soldierly qualities, his executive and
disciplinary powers, made him a very
prominent figure in the time just preced-
ing and during the war. His celebrated
declaration in the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore against the slave trade set
him out boldly before the country, and
turned all eyes in his direction.
When called upon, no man went so
promptly and energedcally to the aid of
the Government. He took up arms with an
energy and dash that fired tens of thou
sands ofpatriots with new hope and ener-
g.. Histaking possession of Baltimore.
early after he had a command, with but
900 men, and holding city bitterly antag-
onistic to him and all that he represented.
was one of the boldest and most daring
feats of history. So hazardous was his
act that the head of the army condemned
1t officially
But 1t is unnecessary to review the
bold, vigorous and characteristic acts of
General Butler. The people are familiar
with themall. They form brilliant chap
ters in the history of the war. General
Butler was wholly original, almost to the
verge of eccentricity. He was thorough
American, and his name goes down in
our history among that of the patriots
and heroes. Surely he was nothing less,
in view of the services he gave his coun-
try, and the acknowledgment the ma
tional annals make of his bold and brill
liant achievements in the field.

of the education Of the finished man to
learn how to defend and assault with the
natural weapons of the body. But in
this day it has come to be held an essen
tial, evidently, to make brute strength
and power of endurance the chief features
in boxing for entertainment of others.
We can recall when the victor in a box
ing bout might be the man who had pre-
vented his antagonist from delivering a
''touch' or blow. He who could do this
was reckoDed most skilled in defense.
On the other hand, he who could make
touches" despite the defense of his an
tagonist was deemed most skilled in the
art of assault. It was not then held to be
necessary to beat man into insensibil-
ity, or to so exhaust him that he could
not rise, in order to prove one a skilled
boxer.
The bill referred to is not clear. II
adopted, we fear that it will be ineffective,
because the line between harm and no
harm in contest will be so difficult to
determine that the end aimed at will not
be accomplished. Perhaps direct ex-
preston of law forbidding knock-outs or
boxing to exhaustion, as done in the ''to-
a-fnish' contests, or. indeed, fist or glove
contests for an admission fee, or on club
membership or the like, would best reach
the end aimed Tor. Certainly the public
judgment of this day is that the knock
out contests are, as now conducted, re-
proaches to our civilization.

SMALL NEWSPAPERS.
Why the Papers are Not Read on
Crowded Cars

crowded Cars.
A close observer cannot fail to notice. as
the line OF railroad gets more and more
crowded, the Giminution of newspaper
readers. And If he is interested enough
and follows up his observations by in
vestigation, the deplorable fact will be-
come patent that many such persons cease
10 be newspaper purchasers at all, and IN
deed cease TO read papers. Without doubt
sufnclent good reasons could be given
why men and women cannot or will not
read at their homes or IN their places of
employment. Indeed, the reasons are so
obvious in many instances, that there
seems little necessity of enlarging on the
bare statement-that crowded cars have
tendency to decrease newspaper pur-
chasers and therefore readers. That such
a thing is deplorable fact outside and be-
yond the pecuniary loss to newspaper
proprietors and the collateral interests,
goes without saying. To advocate more
cars and better rapid transit is easy, but
Improbable.
There is, however, an easier and
quicker remedy for the evil. And the
first newspaper man who adopts it will
be a great financial gamer, besides be-
coming public benetactor. Let the lead
ing daily and evening papers fold their
sheets so that the size will not be greater
than l2x9 inches, which is the size of the
Gh4CaSO AS' Uttt anu IJtOuitg, anu New
FORK San and World, with two folds
more than their present size. 1t is not
possible to reach an ideal by one fell
swoop, therefore we say, begin by max
ing the size l6xl2 inches, which is only
one fold more of the above mentioned
sheets. A paper OF that size can be
handled without damaging your neigh
boris countenance with your elbows, or
destroying the sheet in folding. Even

MRS. RATOLIFFB OAPRRTON.
One of Americas Most Accomplished
Musicians.


Mrs. Radcliffe Caperton, the subject of
this sketch, is a Southern woman by birth,
and the daughter of Daniel Ratciifie, the
celebrated lawyer, of Virginia. Mrs.
Caperton commenced the study Of music
at very early age. After studying tor
years with the best teachers in America,
she went to Europe, where she was so
fortunate as to place herself under the in
struction of Cavalier Professor q. b. Lam
peril, formerly Of the Conservatories of
Florence, Milan and Paris, now residing
in Dresden. After several years OF un-
ceasing study, Mrs. Caperton was chosen
by the Maestro as the pupil most capable
OF becoming his representative. She then
made her debut as concert singer with
great success in Germany and England,
and returned to America to accept the
positions OF vocal teacher in Ogontz and
Walnut lane schools.
Mrs Caperton's duties as teacher pre-
vent the public from enjoying u voice
which the German critics described as
zone which arose from the heart and
touched the heart Of the hearer"
She made her debut in Philadelphia
with the Thomas orchestra and stands to-
day as one of the best and most favorably
known teachers of vocal music in Am
erica. = The Keynote philadelphia,

IN several countries and in some of our
States it is by law required that election
expenses shall be limited. and all ex-
penditure in securing office by election
shall be of a specific character, and all
other is forbidden. We have not had op-
portunty to examine in detail the bill
introduced in the Senate that treats of
this subject, and that puts limitation
upon election expenses by defining what
are legitimate and what are to be deemed
corrupt and criminal. But this may be
said, that the matter has been the subject
of successful legislation in England, and
we believe to a certain extent in this
country. The subject is one that deserves
serious consideration. Certainly there
would appear to be no reason why the
expenses that may be saddled upon
candidates should not be made public,
nor why they should not be limited to
those outlays that are necessary to
honest competition for the suarages OF
the people. 1t is not at all likely, how
ever, that any measure of the character
indicated will meet with favor from pro-
fessional politicians, who manage for
partisans and who make the business a
means of lining their pockets.

A RESOLUTION has been introduced in
the Assembly asking Congress to submit
the question of the election of United
States Senators by direct vote, to the Leg
islatures of the States, for the purpose OF
amending the Constitution of the nited
States. This is in line with the express
sion made by the people Of this State al
the late election, and is therefore merely
formal so far as the introduction of the
resolution is concerned. 1t is at least one
question that the Legislature can discuss
ing and the color OF partisanship.

A BILL to abolish the fees paid by the
State for the collection of taxes has been
introduced in the Assembly. This is in
the same direction as the suggestion made
by the Governor in his message, and
there would seem to be every reason why
it should be adopted. At least there has
thus far been no response made to the
Governors recommendation in opposi-
ton, that we have seen or heard. Posi-
bly, there may be a good reason for retain
ing the present system; if so, it should
be advanced at once.

THE San Francisco Chronicle says that
at the citrus fair now being held in that
city, Sacramento County has the largest
general display, and other critics make it
stronger and declare that it is by all odds
the best and most valuable display. The
wonder is that any San Francisco influ-
ence can so divest itself of prejudice
against the Capital County as to admit SO
much as that.

A Scathing Reply to q Bishop.

Alta clerical meeting the subject of the
separate mode of administering the COM
munion came up. One of those present
said that when there were large num-
Der present at the celebration he often
preferred to give the exhortation to sew
eral persons together, as it made the
feast more Of a communion than when
each was isolated from his fellow wor-
shippers by the separate mode of admins
tration. Bishop Wherefore, with sar-
castle mien and tone, replied, 81 under
stand you, Mr.. Eardley, to prefer admin
istration by wholesaler
Mr.. Eardley rejoined, my lord bish-
op, when the divine founder of the feast,
addressing the 10 apostles, said, Drink
ye all of the cup do not think that
even Judas Iscariot would have dared to
sneer at him as wholesale administra-
tor" The bishops usual readiness de-
serted him, and he had nothing to say
