NOT A FAVORITE SON.

The latter-day statesmen in Massa-
chusetts seem ITO entertain an opinion
that is not exalted respecting some of
their own states sons, by birth or
adoption, who figured as commanders
of federal troops during the civil war.
A few weeks ago, when IL was pro-
posed to grace the state-house park in
Boston with a statue of General Joe
Hooker, a member of the Legislature
protested violently. He insisted that
Hooker's military record was not cred
liable to himself or worthy of Massa-
chusetts Indeed, this orator de-
nounced Hooker as a traitor, the speci-
fic charges being that he resigned his
command on the eve of the battle of
Gettysburg, thus putting the Union
cause, for the instant, in imminent
peril
More recently, the Massachusetts,
legislature, in casting about for sold
iers whom the state ought to commem-
crate in bronze, took up the case of
Gen. Ben Butler. A storm of protest
against this selection has been raised,
anu SOHlc ulSlllS ClllZGlS VI
Massachusetts are helping to keep it
up. 1t will be news to many people
that General Butler did not render mill
itary service worth taken account of,
although 1T has always been known
that he was not by any means the
soldier he was cracked up to be.
The civil war brought to the front
some men who were not up in soldiery.
Buffers military training consisted in
the fact that, as a lawyer. in the demo-
cratic national convention of 1860, he
denounced slavery as piracy-the next
year found him in the uniform of a
brigadier-general III was Butler who
gave to the American slave a new
name when he declared him to be
"contraband of war" Later, Butler
conducted matters in New Orleans in
a way that induced Jefferson Davis to
publish him as an outlaw; Massachu-
sets thought well of Butler about that
time.
1t is true that much OF the merit
claimed for General Buffers military
career is the merest myth. But ac-
counting him a failure as a soldier,
IT must be admitted that all his title
to public recognition vanishes. During
about twelve years he was a wasp in
the house of representatives but never
a statesman. He was governor of Mas
sachusetts as the product of a mongrel
ticket. In 1884 he was a mongrel can
didate for president. His ambition was
surreptitiously to help Blaine in New
York, or, at any rate. in cooperation
with Senator Grady. to hurt Cleveland.
The result was that the candidacy of
Butler cost Blaine the state of New
York. The effort was made two days
before that years memorable election
TO switch the Butler vote to Blaine. 1t
didn't switch right.

THE SANE IN KENTUCKY

What has been said within a week
by some OF the newspaper writers re-
specting Governor Bradleys chances
does not take account of what has hap
pened in Kentucky within that time.
However much Of a favorite son the
governor may be. he is a good deal shy
OF the support which the Kentucky del
egation can give in the ST. Louis con
vention.
II is the same old story-McKinIey's
millionaire supporters have been fat
frying in Kentucky. They pay no heed
TO any Kentuckian's candidacy. In

HAND IN HAND.

The silver cause has lost Senator Pet
tigrew irrevocably. South Dakota was
so thoroughly worked for Mckinley
that no other candidate had a chance
with that states delegation. The state
convention adopted a resolution that no
man should be delegated to go to ST
Louis until he had pledged himself to
vote for Mckinley and sound money"
Pettigrew was burning to go TO St
Louis; he was in attendance at the
South Dakota convention. The dele
gates named the price for surrender.
and Pettigrew accepted IL: ne obligated
himself then and there to go to the
June convention and vote for Mckinley
and sound money" The senator said
that he bowed TO the will OF majority.
That is one way OF putting it-but it is
not the right way.
All the incidents in the Mckinley
campaign show that they are silenced
who have talked about silver
and protection going hand in
hand. The reverse is true. Pro-
lection and the single gold stand

nearly 30 years of this commercial policy
which whitens the seas. etc, the percent
age of foreign trade carried in American
ships was II per cent. When the Mckinley
act was passed, intensifying this CONNER
cial policy. the percentage fell to 1875 per
cent in 1891, to 1913 per cent. in 1892 and
to 1872 per cent. in 1898. II evidently only
needs a revival of this policy in its full
measure to drive the American flag from
the seas completely.

Very recent reports from Kentucky
are to the effect that Bradley may get

even these will be at McKinley's call

prediction is that Bradley, following
the example set by Senator Davis. will
withdraw before conclusions are reach
ed in Kentucky.

FRIDAY, MARCH "a, 1896.
IN COURT AGAIN.

Elizabeth A. Smiths complaint filed
yesterday in Butte was written by her
husband, and II is as racy as a new
novel 1t is an unusually long docu-
ment, but the interesting summary of
II printed this morning on one of the
Standards Butte pages will entertain
many readers.
After an Introductory paragraph or
two, Mrs. Smiths husband gives a pen
picture OF the late Andrew J. Davis-it
is the best running sketch of the old
gentleman's life and traits we have
ever read. 1t is highly descriptive and
1t is true to the life. Smiths summing
up is that Judge Davis was man
who aimed never to place himself at
a disadvantage with other men"
In the Smith complaint you get a
recital Of all that has happened since
Judge Davis died. in the effort of heirs
or alleged heirs to lay hands on the
dollars he boarded. We read of Roots
moneyed syndicate" of the Iowa wit
nesses-those men and women of re-
markable memories-of spelling and
nigrocene, and hired experts and COM
promises. Mrs. Smith says that she
could have obtained $3.50, 900 had she
gone into a deal that was proposed. but
that she declined to do IL. If Mrs.
Smith had called at this Office at the
time of this alleged offer, our advice TO
her would have been to take the quar-
ter million quick-she threw over her
shoulder what now is and may con-
tinue to be the best opportunity of her
life.
II things progress along the line pro-
jected by Mrs. Smiths husband, the
Davis case will be tried again: we
shall be back at the point or place of
beginning. That will be a good thing
for the lawyers the public will con-
sent. although the trial will cost the
county a good deal OF money; while the
newspaper reporters can cut up the old
files and print day after day the re-
ports of the first trial. That will do
just as well as to go TO the trouble OF
transcribing the mass of new lies which
the Iowa contingent will swear to in
return for railroad passes, board, bar
bills and other valuable considerations
This is Speaker Reeds day. New
England has concluded to stand by
him and Massachusetts will lead off
with a convention which expects to
name delegates in mis- favor. OF course,
the Massachusetts, republicans will
plank into their platform. To-day's
affair will excite curiosity chiefly be-
cause the public will want to know
whether Mckinley has undertaken to
do business in New England.
