BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BUTLER

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BUTLER.
The death of Benjamin Franklin Butler,
which occurred yesterday morning, ended
a career which has been decidedly pict-
ureeque, often stormy, and always inter-
estipg and piouant. He was a man who
made warm friends and admirers. He
made equally warm enemies. He didn't
like his enemies any better than they did
him, and he was not backward about let
ting them know it. He was bitter and
persistent in a quarrel, and was often in
one. He was hotly assailed by one and
another during his entire active career,
and his assailants finally succeeded in fast
ening upon him reputation which those
who knew him best are certain that he did
not deserve But he fought all his foes
with great vigor and impsrtiality, and he
we'll defended himself az sinst the numer-
GUS and savage attacks made upon him.
General Butler Was a very efficient man.
he did not hesitate to sct when he was
ready to act AS lawyer he was quick,
ready and full of resources. He was use
full in desperate cases, and was powerful
man in court. AS a soldier he made him
self famous at times and in places when
some other soldiers hesitated. He refused
to give up fugitive slaves to their masters,
on the ground that they were "contraband
of war" He ruled New Orleans as that
city has never been ruled before or since.
He instituted strict sanitary regulations,
armed the free colored men, and made
rich secessionists contribute toward the
support of the poor of the city. He hung
William Mumford for pulling down the
United States flag from the mint, and he
made the women of New Orleans conduct
themselves respectfully toward the north
ern soldiers. jefferson Davis declared
him an outlaw, but that didn't trouble
him. He reached the climax of his mill
tary fame In New Orleans, and after that
didn't appear to be able to accomplish
much, but it is not certain that this was
his fault.
AS politician General Butler was not a
shining success, though he was always
worth attention. He was in congress as a
Republican for several terms. He after
wards figured as Republican, a Demo-
crat, Greenbacker and anything else that
happened to strike him right. He made it
warm for one party after another in Massa-
chusetts, and he was finally elected gov
ernor as Democrat. But he could only
stay in one term, and in 1884 he became
the candidate of the Greenoack and Anti
Monopoly parties for President. This
ended his political career, which for vari-
ETY., certain kind of conspicuousness,a and,
as many think, general "cussedness," has
had few equals.
General Butler was bold man. Bold in
law, bold in war and bold in politics.
Many think he was, on the whole, bad
man. But this seems to us hardly fair
Judgment. He was not a hypocrite, he
hated oppression and oppressors, he was
often found defending the weak, he &C.
cured the respect and the esteem of those
among whom he lived, and he did his duty
fearlessly in many matters. He did not
win the approval of Harvard college, and
he would probably have had better repu-
tation If he had paid more attention to what
has always been solemnly respectable.

MR. RICE WRITES ANOTHER LETTER.

PRESIDENT HARRIS SEVERELY CRITICISED FOR
HIS ANAGEMEST OF READINGS AFFAIRS.
Philadelphia July 17.-Isaac l.. Rice to-day issued
another statement OIL the affairs OF the Philadelphia
and Reading Company. The Lehigh Valley lease and
the coal purchases to both OF which President Harris
has announced his determination TO adhere, have
been, Mr.. Rice says, the main cause OF Readings
present embarrassment, and II persisted In must in
evitably end in It's complete destruction. The writer
declares that President Mcleod would never have
leased the Lehgh Valley except in connection with
the Jersey Central and TO form the coal combine.
Why Mr.. Mcleod. receiver continued 10 hold on TO
Lehgh Valley after the Jersey Central had been lost
especially as he deemed Il one of the main causes OF
Readings downfall. is what Mr. Rice cannot under
stand He does not believe. however, that Mr..
Mcleod would have deiaulted upon Readings general
mort gage bonds In order to pay dividends on Lehgh
Valley stock
lie quotes n correspondence from London with Mr..
Mcleod. In which the latter assured him that the
Lehlgh Valleys per cent dividend had been earned.
bur subsequently Mr.. Mcleod told him that instead OF
Reading making profit OF 81 ,OOO. 900 the lease.
as h. (McLcod believed there had been loss Of
over 81, 800 600 and that this loss one OF the
causes OF the rcceivership.
"A prsposl"rous anachronism,' IS the term applied
TO the purchasing OF coal after the failure Of the coal
combination Mr.. Harris should have noted, Mr. Rice
contends that the United States ION the road 10
