v,,tr,ny HERO TO RE HoNORED

II sounds like a joke 10 hear any one
proposing the erection Of a monument to
the memory Of the late benjamin F. But
ler. of Massachusetts, to commemorate
his part as soldier in the late war. But
a member has actually introduced such a
bill in the Massachusetts Legislature. and
il is being seriously pressed, that the
State shall erect the monument at the
public expense. 1t came up for discus
sion a day or so back, when some OF
Massachusetts foremost citizens appear
a before the body TO protest against it.
Amongst them were the distinguished his
torlan. John &. Ropes. General Francis
A. Walker, J. Malcolm Forbes, Major
Henry Higgnson. and Memheld Storey.
Colonel Thomas l.. Liyermore spoke. lie
declared that Buffers exploits were
dwarfed by thousands OF acts performed
by other Massachusetts men. Butler. he
said, did not lead his regiment through
Baltimorc-he was IN Philadelphia at the
time. lie did not seize Annapolis until
80 ordered. From April, Co. to May. "a,
luuer neve: directed the movements of a
man in the face of the enemy. After
that he directed the army In but one
battie.-Drewry's Bluff-and then he was
compelled to retire. The reason he never
again attempted TO direct troops was be-
cause he saw nc was not fit TO do so.
Colonel Liyefmore well added that the
idea Of commemorative such perform
auces as those Of Butler IN the war with
an equestrian statue borders on the ridicu-
lous. and we may add. that If wicked
old Ben could know of the movement
on foot 10 represent ain as a military
hero, he would wink than old cooked
| eye and laugh until his sides were sore.
| We know Of but one military hero that
correctly personates Major-General Ben
| jamin Il. Butler. late of the United States
volunteer forces, and that is General
Boom, in the opera OF the Grand Ouch
| esse. Ben. seems 10 have sat to Often
bach for the picture OF that illustrious
| soldier.

General Grosvonor. Of Ohio. was chat
ting in the Senate chamber few days
back with steve" Elkins. Of West Nir-
glnia. when Chandler. Of New Hamp-
shire. came by. 1t was the first time
Grosyonor who is McKinley's chief man
ager. had met Chandler since the latter
had charged the Mckinley men with run
ming n boocle campaign and had been
denounced by Grosvenor for IT,
you Mckinley fellows" said Chand-
Ter. in n bland and cheerful way, seem
10 be mad with me because elected
Hayes without spending a dollar
Il didn't know that anybody ever &C
cuscd you of olecting Hayes responded
Grovenor, with an exceedingly pleasant
smile.
The reporter, in giving an account of
the interview, adds that there might have
been more sarcasm, but steve diplo-
maucally turned the conversation. and
Chandler presently wandered off TO an
other part OF the Senate chamber.
Now. there is good deal Of food for
thought in Grosvenor's retort. Did he
mean 10 suggest that Chandler had no
important part in tho Hayes campaign
or did he mean that as Hayes was never
elected President, nobody could accuse
Chandler or any one else Of electing him?
We cannot help thinking that idea was
uppermost in Grosvenors mind, which
suggests the case of Roman Angus smil-
Ing when they met each other.
This man Grosvenor does not seem to
be a bad fellow at all. For a western
Republican, he seems to have a good deal
of the milk Of human kindness in him.
A day or so ago, when the bill TO relieve
all Confederates of disabilities was be-
fore the House, and Boutelle was making
a display Of malignant hatred towards
a great body Of his fellow-citizens that
would have put many fiend to the
blush. Grosvenor answered him in a
speech full Of the kindest feeling towards
the old Confederate soldiers, and eros
venor was a good Federal soldier. too.
But one thing in his speech was very
curious, and very notable. too. He said
that i'm his opinion General Longstreet
was the greatest soldier the Confederacy
had.
General Longstreets position as a SOL
der is perfectly and irreversibly fixed in
history. He will always stand as one OF
the most superb commanders on the field
OF battle. when battle had been once
Joined. that ever commanded men. But
all pretensions to his being talented
soldier have long since been abandoned
His capacity. except for hshting, was
very limited. and this is universally con
coded now by all students Of the war
General Grosvenor knows this because he
is a well-infoTmed man. He was not
sincere therefore. IN his statement. lie
said IT because Longstreet turned Re-
publican after the war, and he wanted
10 stand up for all OF his partissns. This
is creditable to the partisan. but not TO
the man.

Mr.. Armin Pollak. tho rocently-appoint-

alton 20 be able TO say definitely ~hat nc

There was one point, however, upon
which Mr. Pollak was quite clear ana
that was that he would not resign his
postion. no matter how much the Italians
might protest and pass resolutions. When
asked the question, he replied with marx
ed emphasis.

that he would in the course OF a few

Mr. Pollak further said that he had been
told that only seventeen members OF the
Italian society had been present when
resolutions antagonistic 10 himself had
been passed, although the society had
about eighty members.
