were thus hired out at a bounty of $3.50

the business as 'scandalous man traffic,

For several years the friends of General
Butler in the Massachusetts Legislature
have been able to excite so deep an interest
in the memory of General b. +. Butler that
committees have reported in favor Of an
equestrian military statue in his honor. At
this distance it seems that Massachusetts
has other men upon whom it could more
properly bestow its honor, but to make
him conspicuous as a military leader would
be to ignore history. General Butler was
a good military governor in New Orleans,
but he was a distinct failure in the actual
command of troops-so much so that Gen
eral Grant, wearied with his whims and
failures, relieved him of his command in
January. 1865. Besides, General Butler was
not native of Massachusetts.

An exchange says there are the strongest
reasons, involving race, language, religion.
character and civilization, why the peoples
Of Germany, Great Britain and the United
States should understand each other. Each
has a different form of government, but the
race and civilization make the people much
alike. To them belongs the instinct of self
government, which is not a characteristic
of the southern European nations or the
Asiatics; and, while these nations may not
quite agree for the present, there is good
reason to believe that, sooner or later.
these three nations will find it for the best
that they shape the policy Of the world.
Such coalition Would have a salutary in
fluence, even if there were no written COM
pact

Lightning strokes are not usually reck-
and yet a report issued by the national
Weather Bureau shows that during the
year 1900 there were 713 persons killed by
lightning in the United States and 97S in

past show that from 700 to 500 persons are
killed by lightning each year, and some
what greater number injured. These casu-
alties equal those of a considerable battle
every year.

While Prince Henry has seen a great

IS probable that nothing has interested him
more than the government naval and mill
tary schools at Annapolis and West Point.

tutions. In some respects they are superior
TO any similar schools in the world, and

How the MayOr-EIect of a Georgia
A Savannah man returning from the
up country tells a pretty fair tale on
a friend who was recently elected
mayor of a Georgia town. Before the
friend announced he knew that money
would be needed to land him in the
coveted chair, but he wanted the office
and was willing to pay the price for
the goods. He found the pittance of
$4,000 was required. and this was
paid over for distribution among the
different wards. The friend was
elected.
? When the candidate had assumed the
reins of government he was approach
ed by the usual coterie of office grab
bers, some wanting places on the police
force, others in the fire department and
so on ad infnitum. When an appli-
cant approached the Mayor for an of
flee, the former produced a small mem
orandum book. and the following col
loquy usually took place:
