COMMISSIONER FULLILOVE.

The fact stands out over the signature
of Mr., Fullilove and his confreses which
was published almost concurrent with
the announcement that an agreement
for contract had been made and entered
into by them with the Gas, Electric
Light and Power Company without APP
prising the citizens committee of their
intention and plainly violating of the
ethics Of courtesy and respect for their
obligation to the latter The public only
knows this as fact and must Judge be-
tween the lines,
The fact stands out also that the adj
vertisement inviting bids stipulated no
unit of candle-power nor was any ref
.erence made to such for bidders to ex-
anime. No one was advised of a CON
tract containing any until now
Mr.. FuIliloye is just as unhappy in
abiding to the quotation from Mr. Wat
terson's editorial in Juggling in the
charge of graft, The gentleman can
only infer this, as the ugly word no
where appears in the article. Therefore
his invitation to carry any knowledge of
graft before the grand jury or publish
same is an idle challenge, that can not
even be taken under advisetnent.

SPRING REGIMEN.

Early spring greens are plentiful in
the market, the best dish to tone up the
stomach and the skin Spinach and gar
den asparagus. Cabbage and heavy
meats should disappear from the
table. Less coffee and tea are needed
Buttermilk is the best spring and sum
mer beverage. The old fashioned sassa-
fras tea is good at this time Of the year,
fragrant and delicate in flavor if the
roots are secured in tie fall and dried.
To cleanse the system and clear the
skin don't forget sulphur and melasses.
A large teaspoonful three mornings and
miss three, until nine doses have been
taken. Doses of epson salts are good
taken the same way. Drink water hot
or cold copiously but not at meals.
In using hot water for face washes
and messages dash cold water over the
face, while the face is still warm Use
pure cold cream freely.

Butler used his position as major gen.
eral to feather his own nest" said Mr.
Rhodes. He charged that during his oc-
cupation of New Orleans he allowed his
brother TO carry on trade of grea'
profit in cotton and salt between the
North and South In 1862" he said
"when Butler went to New Orleans ne
was worth $4,000 In 1868 he was said
to be worth 100000"
Mr.. Rhodes said that he had brought
out these facts at the hearing nine years
ago and had then said that unless retut-
ed he would include them in the forth
coming volume of his history. No retu-
tation has ever been received.
Colonel Hallowcll read an extract
from a speech by General Fitzpatrick,
delivered in Salem in 1868, in which the
speaker attributed the following remark
to General Butler, a statement which
| Colonel HaIlowell said had never been
refuted Il am going TO Charleston to
influence the Democratic party to put

cision, and propose to fight it out Tin

served under him. What campaign,
what battle, did he ever win? Failure
and defeat is his record during the civil
war
Such, in part, is the record of Benja-
main F. Butler, and, as presented, Is
from men who were on the Federal side
of the conflict. For his failures there
could be some obliteration, but who will
remit to oblivion his deliberate murder
of Munford, hanged in New Orleans
for having pulled down the United
States flag from the United States mint
before the surrender Of the city had
been effected2
And who, having in his heart any
spark of manhood, can ever forget his
most infamous order, in which he dl-
rected that all women, the mothers and
sisters and sweethearts of Confederates
who by sign or speech should manifest
their disloyalty to the United States,
should be treated by Federal soldiers as
common prostitutes of the town.
In time marble or granite shaft may
be erected to the memory of Benjamin
F. Butler, but neither shaft of marble
or granite can ever obliterate his de-
spicabIe record and his infamous refec-
ton on the mothers and sisters and
wives and sweethearts of the gallant
men who were of the Confederacy.

NARROWING STORIES.


a. j McKellway, secretary Of the Ma
tional child labor committee, iii a speech
at Birmingham told narrowing stories
of the employment Of children in cotton
mills. He said: If. as is frequently
claimed, the cotton mills can not exist
without the child labor system, then the
American people will contemplate with
serenity the putting out of the factory
fires, and will write upon the factory
walls the obituary Of the Herods: They
are dead that sought the young cl1ild's
life to destroy it. Mr.. KellWay said that
in the factories of the, North, one in ten

10 and IS years old, while in the South
