declaration That His Exploits We're
Dwarfed by the Exploits Of
Many Better Men.

Boston, March 25.-General Buffers
military career was severely scored to-
day when the bill providing for the
erection Of an equestrian or military
statue Of Butler came up before the
committee on ways and means at the
state house.
Colonel Thomas L. Liyermore declared
Buffers exploits were dwarfed by thous-
ands Of acts performed by other Massa-
chusetts men. Butler did not lead the
regiment through Baltimore. He was
in Philadelphia. He did not seize An
napolis. From April, 1861, to May, 1864,
General Butler never directed the
movements Of a man in the face Of the
enemy. After that he directed the ar
my in one battle, Drury's Bluff, and
then he was compelled to retire. The
reason he never again attempted to di-
rect the troops was because he saw
he was not fit to do it.
Colonel Livermore also said the idea
Of concentrating exploits of this sort
by equestrian statues borders on the
ridiculous. A thousand of men in the
army would have been just as good
military commanders at New Orleans,
and as efficient provost marshal at
New York.
Among the other renonstrances were
]. Malcolm Forbes, General Francis
Walker, John G. Ropes, Major Henry
Higginson and Moorfield Story.

May Adopt One II Our Postomoa
Methods.
New York, March 25.-A dispatch from
London says:
AS the result Of a conference between
the duke Of Norfolk, postmaster gener-
al; Hon. Akers-Douglas, Of the treas
ury department.; Spencer Walpole, sec
rotary to the postoffice, and several OF
the principal controllers, superintend-
ents and inspectors, it has been decided
to send representative OF the depart
ment to the United States for the pur-
pose OF examining the methods employ
ed in the postoffices Of the leading cities
for stamping the dates and time Of re-
ceipt. The delegate. who will be Sc
lected from one Of the chief officials OF
the general postoffice. will be furnished
with a letter Of Introduction to Post
master General Wilson, asking that the
necessary courtesies be extended to
him.
The matter grows out of some re-
marks recently made in the house OF
commons by Mr.. Henniker Heaton, q
well known reformer Of postal meth
DDS, and which he called attention to
the clear, legible and distinct post
marks, showing the place, date and
hour Of sorting, impressed on American
letters, as compared with the blurred
and frequently illegible postmarks on
British letters.
This comparison gives rise to some
correspondence in the course of which
the postmaster general stated that Am
erican stamps had been several times
! tried, but that none Of them were suit
able for the British postoff1ce. There
had been suggestions that certain Off
Gals were interested in the sale or leas-
ing Of the stamps now used in this
country, but this charge has not been
substantiated, and the postoff1ce de-
partment proposes to show It's good
faith in the matter by sending rep
resentative to the United States to in
spect the stamps now in use and report
upon the practicability Of adopting
such as may commend themselves to his
judgment.

American Federation Of Labor has not
yet selected a trade to inaugurate the

DRAYToN DIVORCE
Decree Granted the wife ON Grounds
of DeserttOn.

Trenton, N. j.. March 23.-Chancellor
McGill filed decree today granting abb
solute divorce to Mrs. Charlotte Cole
man Drayton from j. Coleman Dray-
ton, on the grounds Of desertion- Mrs.
Drayton is a daughter Of the late Will
liam Aston. The decree says:
1t is impossible to escape the con-
viction that defendants suspicious OF
his wife's infidelity were not destitute of
foundation, in questionable circum-
stances at least. but I fail to find any
judicial precedent which holds that, UNI
der statute similar to that of this
state. husband may with impunity be
guilty Of desertion Of his wife, merely
because he believes her, even under
gravely suspicious circumstances. to
have been guilty of adultery
"Desertion," the chancellor holds, lis
justified only when shown by clear and
satisfactory proof that the DESERVING
party has been so offended against as
to authorize at his instance decree for
divorce or judicial separation. If de-
PENDANT would rely upon his charge OF
adultery as a defense against her
charge Of desertion, he must prove 1t.
There is no evidence that it was the in
tention of the defendant at the time he
LETT the petitioner to institute suit for
divorce on the grounds of adultery. He
did, In fact, commence such a suit in
June, 1894, time so remote from the
commencement Of the separation that
more than the period prescribed by
law in which desertion must continue
to constitute a cause for divorce had
interviewed, and thereby cause for di-
vorce had become available t. her; and
even after the lapse OF that time his
suit was not prosecuted with diligence.
The mere institution Of suit for di-
vorce on the grounds Of adultery will
not avail as a defense to a suit for di-
vorce on the grounds Of desertion. Adult
terry must be proven. It was the hus-
bands duty to act expeditiously SO his
wife should not remain longer than
necessity required, If guilty. unconvict-
ed, and, If innocent, under the shadow
Of such a scandalous and disgraceful
charge"
| The chancellor finds that there was
no collision to secure divorce. In the
decree reference to testimony is made.
but the chancellor does not mention
Hallet Alsop Barrows by name. Zone
b." neighbor, however, is mentioned
as having been named as correspondent
in suit brought by Drayton against
his wife. Barrows was correspondent

A Masonic Visit.

The uniting of Skowhegan and Mad-
son by the trolley line of the Somerset
Traction Company has the effect TO
bring the people OF the two towns closer
together in other than business phases.
In evidence of this we cite visit paid
Euclid Lodge, No. 1874, F. & A. NJ. by
43 of the Masonic brethren of Skowhe-
gan, most of them members of Somerset
Lodge. This party took special cleo
trie car at o'clock p. NJ. for Madison,
arriving there Just as the craft had as
sembled, at a regular communication
aud were prepared to work in the third
degree. The Madison brethren were
not expecting so large number of
visitors but they readily accommodated
themselves to the occasion and gave
the Skowhegan contingent right royal
masonic welcome.
There were also present visitors from
eleven other masonic lodges: Northern
Star, North Anson; Ancient York,
York s.; Keystone, Solon; Davis, Strong !;
Hiram, Gardiner; kennebec, Hallowell; !;
Quabog River, Warren, Mass; Asylum,
Wayne; Sloan, Fairfield; Pine Tree :;
Lebanon, Norridgewock.
After the ritual work was successfully
and satisfactorily performed, remarks
for the good of the order and in recogni-
tion of the courtesy extended to the
visitors, and the hearty good fellowship
of the occasion, were made by Brothers,
G. \. Wing, ". K. G. Estes, {. A.
Marston. Lewis Anderson, y. w. Brain
erd and James Il. Frost. Certain other
retiring, Skowhegan brethren responded
with the request II pray thee have me
excused"
Bountiful refreshments were served
of which the visitors partook heartily,
and after extending warm invitation to
their hosts to return the visit. they
boarded their ear and arrived at the
shire in good season, well pleased with
their first electro-masonic visit to Madi-
son.
Euclid Lodge has a nice well ap-
pointed eommodious hall, with ample
ante rooms and cosy kitchen and dining
rooms, all of capacity sufficient to meet
the needs of their own membership and
to entertain visitors in large numbers.
Moreover the Madison brethren know
how to run a lodge aud how to make
guests feel at home.

Mr.. Blaine's Speech of 1878.

The free coinage l6 To l advocates
walked up Republicans effectively by the
course they pursued in publishing
garbled extracts from the sound money
speech, delivered by Hon. James G.
Blaine in 1878. Nothing could have
accomplished this more thoroughly.
Republicans are justly indignant that
Mr.. Blaine's honored name should be
used to give aid and comfort to repudia-
tion. Were he alive he would be in the
fore front of the battle for honest
money aud the financial integrity of the
government, and although dead, his
influence is emphateally in the right
direction in this crisis. This speech of
ISIS, one of the strongest arguments
ever made against compulsory aud un-
limited coinage of silver, has been
printed by the Republican National
Campaign committee and millions of
copies of it circulated throughout the
country. We have a quantity of them
for distribution in Somerset and are
placing them into the hands of Somer
set voters. Cali at the REPORTER office
and get one.
