SPEAKING of Gen. Butler, friend
of his says that all his little benefac-
tions to poor people in Lowell and
elsewhere will never be known, for
they were innumerable. During his
life there he bestowed charity on hun
dreds of men and women, and with
out compensation, frequently visited
Washington on behalf of the poor
widows seeking pentions, of which he
secured a large number.

THE reports of the course of bust
ness shows. that 1893 starts out well,
and that business everywhere is
strong. The only danger that seems
to threaten the prosperity of the COM
ing year is the possibility of legisla-
tion adverse to the business interests
of the country. If it could be guar
anteed that nothing of this kind
would take place, the indications are
that 1893 would be strong rival in a
business sense, of 1892.

THERE is every probability that the
bill appropriating 100000 for the
Minnesota exhibit to the Worlds
Fair, which will make it a state in
stead of a partially individual enter
prise, will pass the legislature with
out serious opposition, and become a
law as it ought. The sentiment all
over the state is favorable to the bill
and the leading newspapers are falling
|, into line in favor of Senator La Dues
measure. People are beginning to
recognize the magnitude of the great
Exposition as the time for it's opening
draws near, and more fully appreciate
the benefits that will accrue from an
exhibit in keeping with it's various re-
sources. Nothing of equal impor-
tance has ia the past been presented
to the consideration of the state, and
it is not likely that another such a
chance to advertise it's possibilities
and it's needs, as is now presented,
hence the Indifference that was mani
tested upon the part of many two
years ago, has now changed to that Of
vital interest in the matter. To the
patriotic citizens of the state who
came forward and contributed from
their means that the work of prepar-
ing fitting exhibit might go forward,
great credit is due, and now the state
should take the burden from their
shoulders and assume it, as to the
state at large will come the benefits
derived, and the legislature ought to
give this measure its hearty approval.

WASHINGTON Sept. 2O.-The House
Committee on Rules this morning au-
thorized, by a part yvote, the report to
the House of what is termed by Messrs.
Reed and Burrows, the minority of tho
Committee. the most drastic measure
ever proposed to any legislative body.
1t provides that upon the adoption OF
the order the Speaker shall proceed to
call the committees for reports; and UNI
til that order is exhausted no motion
whatever shall be In order or enter
tained by the Speaker.
Mr.. Morrow said: "1n the Thirty
first Congress all that we ever did was
to cut of dilatory motions. But now, IL
the Capitol should fall down or take
fire while the committees were being
called, we could not even take a recess.
1.-The Republicans will exhaust all the
means at their disposal to prevent the
Introduction of the report on the bill
to repeal the Federal Election laws and
to defeat or delay the adoption of the
order proposed by the Committee on
Rules"
After the Committee had formally
adjourned the majority members re-
NAMED in conference In the room of the
Speaker
The further programme respecting the
Election Repeal bill was discussed. and
It was stated afterwards by one of the
members that an order would probably
be reported tomorrow for the considera-
ton of the bill, beginning Tuesday.
The length of time that shall be al
lowed for debate has not yet been
finally decided upon.

Van Allen IS AMBASSADOR,
Is He Expected to Restore a
Social Prestige at Romeo
Story OF . Standard Said to Have
Been Set by Minister Astor.

WASHINGTON. Sept CA curious
explanation OF the selection of Mr.. Van
Allen, Of Rhode Island, as the first Am
bassador OF the United States to Italy
Is given. 1t is stated that, OF all our
legations abroad, the post In Italy has
been for the last ten years most difficult
to fill from social point of view. 1t
was made so by William Waldorf Aston.
who. when Minister TO Rome. set the
pace In matters OF entertainment and
other social functions on such a scale
Of lavish expenditure, that no one not
possessed of millionaire's fortune
could hope to follow him successfully.
John B. Stallo, whom Mr.. Cleveland,
during his first term. appointed to sue
coed Mr.. Aston. had a most unpleasant
experience.
Having no private fortune he was
compelled to rely upon the salary of the
position 81, 0Oo) for his means OF living
and entertaining as Minister OF the
The contrast between the economy
thus enforced and the munificent ex-
travagance OF the precedin regime was
no marked that the American colony and
American visitors made Mr. stalio's life
an exceedingly unhappy one.
The complaints that poured in upon
the State Department almost partook
OF the nature OF charges. II was as
serted that Minister Siallo had removed
the Legation from the palace 1t had
formerly occupied and established 1t
over a "cheese-mongers shop" and 1t
was almost intimated that he was iii

for the maintenance OF the Legation to
his own private lam
pooned and ridiculsd In every possible
way for his alleged parsimony
The only foundation for these charges
was, OF course. the fact What Mr.. Stall
10 lived within his official income while
Mr.. Aston did not.
Similar Inconvenience were felt in
less degree, by Gov. Porter Of Indiana
twho resigned the place ostensibly 10
entr the Indiana campaign. and by
william Porter, whom Mr.. Harrison APP
pointed In the last days of his adminis-
tration to succeed Gov Porter.

A DARK MINT IN THE SENATE.
Gan the Repeal Bill Be Displscsd a.
the Force Bill was3

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The situa-
ton in Congress Is becoming decidedly
dramatic. For the first time In the his
tory of the Government the spectacle IL
presented of both Houses In deadlock
on different lines at the same time. and
each prepared to enter upon struggle
of physical endurance to accomplish the
purpose which the majority in either
chamber has in view,
The difficulties which the House will
encounter In the preliminary stages of
debate on the Election bill are likely to
prove much less serious than those with
which the Senate has been struggling
for four weeks.
The majority in the House has SIM
ply to secure the presence OF quorum
of its own members and keep them In
attendance, and the Committee on
Rules, aided from the chair by the
Speaker, will do the rest.
1t Is far different In the Senate. An
incident In yesterdays debate In that
body has been productive Of much seri-
Gus comment outside the chamber, as
perhaps indicating a serious possibility.
When Mr.. Dubois, OF Idaho. rose, in
stead of Mr.. Teller, to pick UP the Voor-
hees gage Of battle, ne remarked sig
nifcantly that even the silver Senator'S
might eventually be so overcome by
Administration influence as TO be found
supporting the Democratic Senators in
their effort to pass the bill to repeal the
Federal Elections law.
That was the remark that disturbed
some of the oldest Senators. The infer
apca thew drn w from II IL that the silver
Senators hope to protract the debate
until the House has passed the Tucker
bill and then Join hands with the South
ern Democratic Senators In voting to
take II up in the Senate, and thus dis
place the Silver Repeal bill. just as the
Force bill was displaced In a former
Senate after being discussed for fifty
days.
Meanwhile, In both houses. all gen.
eral legislation will remain suspended
until a conclusion Is reached on the
two topics daily becoming more closely
entwlned with each other-the repeal of
the Sherman law and of the Federal
Election legislation.
The introduction OF bills goes on, but
the committees simply receive them in
a perfunctory way and pigeon-hole them
for future day.
Some pessimistic onlookers are in
cllned to think that II Chairman Wilson,
OF Ways and Means, Is able to carry
out the present intention OF introduce
ing a tariff bill by Nov. ], that measure
will be about in time to take the place
of the two topics now engrossing at
tention.
