Few public men have been
more persistently abused than the
individual whose name heads this
article. No living American poli
tician ha had a mere varied pub
lic career. A man of superior
literary attainments; of persuasive
eloquence and keen acumen; a
lawyer of exceeding ability and
enormous business; a millionaire
whose chief enjoyment is to take
a party out in his yacht and stride
the deck cigar in mouth while
their souls sicken o'er the heading
wave; one would think that he
could crowd enough into life with
out going into politics; but he
says he "must have relaxation,"
and so for twenty-three years he
has been a prominent figure in
Eastern circles and the favorite
butt for callow paragraphers. It
was in 2 SCO, at the Baltimore
convention that he first attracted
attention by steadily voting
through forly-two ballots for Jell
Davis for the picsidential nomi
nee. Then he was a Democrat.
"When Sumter was fired on the
lonowing spring nc uonneu a
general's uniform and made a part
of histor', the New Orleans
triumph and the Fort Fisher disas
ter being the most prominent inci
dents in his military career. Since
the close of the war, when not en
gaged in putting up jobs togetthe
Massachusetts gubernatorial nomi
nation he has been doing a won
derful amount of legal business.
He daily disposes of three men's
work. Tt is no uncommon thing
for him to leave Boston on an
early train, take notes and make
up a written brief while on the
car, stop off at New i'ork, argue a
case before the court of appeals
displaying a profound knowledge
of what he is talking about and
generally carrying conviction to
the minds of his auditors; then on
to Washington, arriving the next
morning to argue a case involving
millions before the Supreme Court
of the United States; and return
to Boston the following day to ex
plain to the honorable court there
assembled, some of the abstruse
technicalities of the law.
To a poor client he listens cour
teously and accords all possible
service gratuiteusly: to the repre
sentative of a corporation a 5,C00
retainer fee is requisite to procure
recognition. The docket fcr one
month shows one hundred ami two
cases wherein Ben Butler figuxes
for either plaintiff or defendant,
and 3'et to sec him in his yacht at
sunset he seems the veriest idler
that ever yawned through a tire
some da.
Tiikri: is not :i country on the,
globe whose laws permit the masses
to enjo' in any other than a re
stricted sense, those inalienable
rights of man, life, liberty ami the
pursuit of happiness. The bull:
of the world's population "en
joys" life that is meie existence,
liberty to toil for the enrichment
of their masters,, and such happi
ness as can be found in incessant
drugery and hopeless poverty. n
a world in -which all men are cre
ated with equal rights, a world in
which, by the law of God or nature,
every mail has a light to himself,
and to the products of his own
labor, human S3'stems and laws give
all that is bright and pleasant to
the few, all that is dark and hard
to the many.
The high-toned scions of aris
tocracy resident in Baltimore,
whoso ancestors sold rum and bar
tered tobacco and molasses, are
organizing a "society" in which the
members must individually have
lineage as a warrant for admission.
It is the first attempt for half a
century to establish an American
aristocracy, and will most probably
be jeered out of existence like its
predecessors.
A census of China, in the sense
we use the word, has never been
taken. It has been generally
credited that the population of
the country numbers 400,000,000
souls. Recent opinions, however,
given by well-informed writers,
declare that the population of
China proper is not to exceed
250,000,000.
Ik the next Congress ol the
United States there will be one
hundred and eighty-five new raera-
br. It will take the whole of
the first session for that awkward
squad to learn the parliamentary
drill, and during that time forbear
ance is the greatest kindness that
can be shown fifty per cent, of our
national legislators.
The women of Massachusetts
arc rejoicing over the following
section of the Massachusetts Dem
ocratic platfol m :
"Equal rights, equal powers,
equal burdens, equal privileges
and equal protection by law under
the Government for every citizen
of the republicv without limitation
o lace or sex or property qualifi
cation, whether it be by a tax on
property or a poll tax on persons."
Good ghosts arc at present quo
ted at 30 each in London. That
isjwhat the "Society for Physical
Research" is offering. The ghosts
must be in good condition, and
prompt payment is assured on
delivery.
