WHAT BUTLER WOULD NOT READ.
The following is the extract from sena-
tor Buffers paper the North Carolina
Caucasian which he refused 70 read In
the Senate nnen he was 80 severely ex-
coriated by Senator Chandler, OF New
Hampshire, as described day or two ago
in The Times:
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MAY 22d
AND 23d.-SENATE.
ION these two days six pension bills in
troduced in the Senate and eighteen In
the House. A large number Of pension
bills were passed by the House. Practical
~ nothing else was done by that body.
lin the Senate, Senator Buffers bill
to prevent the Iurtner issue OF bonds
without the consent Of Congress was The
main feature Of interest. OF course HILL
the watch dog for the rascal, was on the
alert. He resort ri 20 the most disgraceful
obstructive tactics that an Internal scOun-
drel could devise. Then Senator sherman
came 10 INNS rescue. and these two hire
iugs Of the monopoly syndicates and the
money power did everything they could
20 xiii the bill. Old Sherman: who secs 4
determination on the part OF The Senate
TO pass the bill; took refuge in the con-
ISOLATION that a Republican House would
never thus rebuke a Democratic Presi-
dent, and he was probably right. II 1t
should DO so, he would 10 longer be able
10 continue as the paid agent Of the
Kothschild syndicates for stealing from
and robbing the people. The accursed old
scoundrel, IN the hght he made against
the bin, screamed out, Thank God, the
House OF Representatives stands there
upon the right side, and the President Of
the United States is there 10 aid that
House in preventing any action
For Sherman 10 mention the name OF
God IS downright sacrilege. II God should
have no more 10 do with the destiny oil
this country than he has had 10 do with
the approval Of John sherman and the
gang that hires him, the devil would have
il an his own way on the earth"
Itls said here that the above was writ
ten by a Senate emplOye recently. en-
ployed Senator Butler, anbd at Buffers
dictatiou. That may not be true. but
Buffers disclaimer is accepted ae insin-
cere Only q day or two ago he denOunc-
cd the Democratic party as "a stench In
the n0strls OF honest people His recent
performances suggest but one explanation,
and It is IN charity that the explanation
is not given.
MORE TROUBLE FOR BUTLER.
But still there is more trouble ahead
In the editorial. Washington cores
pondence OF Buffers paper May 18TH,
appeared the following which may be
made the subject " notice IN the Senate.
WATCH FRED SILVER % MONOP-
OLlSTS.
"There are In Congress a certain class
Of silver Democrats and silver Republi-
cans who, on nearly every test between
the people and railroad corporations, OF
othere mOnOplies. yte against the peo-
pie and with the mOnOpolies. IL may
be questioned whether or not such men
are at heart true silver men. Their
votes on other questions, besides silver
would give strong color 70 the belief that
they simply voted for free silver because
the sentiment IL 80 strongly that way
among their constituents, while at heart
they are the other way. man who
stands for the corporations and monop-
olies against the people is certainly at
heart a gold man. just as all gold merr
naturally stand IN with all the monopolies
and combines We make this prediction,
that thoils Congre smen and q nators
who claim 10 be silver men. yet who al
wavs vote with the mononolists ON other
questions. will be the kind Of silver men
who will stick 10 their parties no matter
who IS nominated or what kind Of
platform he is on. 1t is the silver man
who is not only for silver but also against
trusts and monopolles who will stand
squarely by the people when the test
comes. and put principle and country
above party. In short the best test Tor
a true friend OF the people Is the position
which Congressmen take on questions
relating to corporations. monopohes and
trusts. We expect. at sme future time
10 publish the votes OF the members or
Congress on certain questions where
there was a conflict between the Interests
OF the people and the greed OF the monop-
olists. and show which so-called silver
men voted against the people"
