en foe gaitjj Mmmu ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY. .SEPTEMBER C, 1881 BEN BUTLERS CANDIDACY. It is pointed out that the impres sion that Butler had gone into the campaign to help Blaine is now enter tained only in the most sanguine Blaine quarters. Ho has gone in to found a third party, which he expects to become four years hence one of the two great parties, and does not care from which side his followers come. Butler's candidacy may help Blaine before the people, but the known fact that a failure to elect will be fatal to Blaine, and almost certain success for Cleveland, invests the candidacy of Butler with a serious menace to the Bepublicans. The fusions which are possible are in Bepublican or doubtful states. There will be no fusion between the Butler and Blaine forces in the south that will threaten Democratic supremacy. If the Octo ber elections should show Cleveland to be weaker in Ohio than his party has been in previous elections, fu sions will ba arranged in most of the doubtful states between the Butler and Cleveland forces. The plan of this fusion has clearly been accepted in Iowa and in Michigan. "Why may it not be in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California and other doubtful states which Blaine must carry to be elected by the people. The Cleveland forces can go into these fusion arrangements with the confidence of a party that knows that a drawn battle is equivalent to victory. Blaine will be the weakest of the candidates in the house. His positive strength would be greater than Butler's, but there could be no increase to his vote. The fifteen Kepublican states would vote steadily for him, but he could not possibly secure the five additional states that would be necessary to elect him in the house. Cleveland and Butler would contend for these votes with the chance largely in favor of the former. The only northern state in which a fusion is likely to be effected between the Blaine and the Butler forces is in West Virginia. To offset this there may bo Cleveland- Bntler fusions in nearly all the north ern states. Iowa is placed in the doubtful list by the fusion between the Democrats and Greenbackers, and the candidacy of St John. Michigan, always counted for Blaine, is covered by the fusions. In New York, Ohio, New Jersey and Connec ticut fusions will be consummated if the October elections show that the Democrats are likely to bo beaten it thoy stand clone. Eoqeb B. Taney, of Maryland, was attorney general under Jackson till November, 1833, when Ben. F. Butler, of New York, was appointed, and held the position till July, 1838. He was an attorney, residing at Albany, and was one of the purest, quickest, deepest jurists of his time. It was he who opened the eyes of the public very wide by his conduct of a noted case in court A ship owner, on the eve of the departure of his ship on a whaling voyage, had it insured with any cargo of fish oil it might have on board at anytime before its re turn. The ship ran into a convention of whales, had extraordinary good luck, and was returning laden down with oiL On the run home it was lost Its owner demanded pay for the ship and oil a very valuable cargo. The in surance company refused to settle. Suit was brought. Benjamin F. But- ler,"of Albany, was sent for to defend the insurance company. The case was called. Butler defended on the ground that the ship had no fish oil on board. That a cargo of whale oil was not a cargo of Jish oil, as the whale was not a fish, but an animal that suckles its j-oung, and has warm blood, as do other animals. This be ing the case, the ship owner who sent his ship after whale oil and had it insured as Jish oil, learned more of business than he know before he went to law. Whiting of the many conjectures upon how "the Irish" and "the Ger man" vote are to be cast, the Salt Lake Tribune very aptly said: "The pitiable feature is that there is any Irish or German vote in America to be traded and schemed for. "When a man in full faith abjures his allegiance to all foreign kings, potentates and powers and takes an oath of allegiance to the United States, he should not stop to think how any man that chanced to come from his native country is going to vote. His busi ness should be to see how, with the lights before him, he ought to vote. Until a man can get to do that, he is not an American, is not vet quite emancipated." Constantinople must be a delight ful place of residence for the man of thought and action. At this time all political topics are forbidden in de bate. You must not engage a friend in any conversation regarding them. You may speak of "the Christian dog," and remark upon the rise of the Nile, but not much else. Nor can you write to friend upon political matters. If you do, your act is cer tain to be known, and you will be placed under police espionage, for the mails are opened by the officers of the porte, and every letter is liable to be unsealed and read by an inspec tor, while the censorship over the local press is extended to all incoming newspapers also. A QUESTION OF PROPRIETY. The Frenoh assembly have aboK ashed the custom of having each day's session opened with prayer. The act has excited no little debate in Europe. On the part of Churchmen, it is taken to be an evidence of the growth of infidelity. But the legislators hold, and it would seem that they have the best of the argument, that there was no contempt of religion in tho aboli tion, but that, on the contrary, it was an act of respect, because prayer is out of place in that body. This is a frank admission one it is not at all likely our American legislators will readily make. It must have impressed thoughtful onlookers in American. legislatures perhaps those of Ore gon, that the merely formal invoca tion in the legislative chamber iB a mockery. Jit is very seldom during the puttingup of the petition to the Author of being, that either assemblymen or senators, by attitude or other de meanor, manifest any regard for the service. It is simply endured, and not reverenced by the majority. Harsh as maybe this statement, there can bo no successful question of its accuracy, and the reason for it is, as in France, not offensive, but charg- able to indifference and the "out of place" sentiment "When this is the case, prayer becomes a hollow mock ery, absolute blasphemy, and should be discontinued. Indeed, it would seem to the non-professors of doc trinal religion, that clergymen would feel their cloth soiled, and their sacred office belittled by disregard of the solemnity that they hold should invest the moments of prayer. Cer tainly that order and spirit of address to the Deity is not possible in a legis lative body that is prescribed for the closet If the French assembly paid as little respect to its late chaplains as our own legislators do to theirs, it was an honest and maul' act on its part to declare that religious pro prieties were violated, and that pray er was out of place in the legislative chamber. Mbs. BeiiVa E. Looewood has ac cepted the nomination of tho Equal Bights party for tho presidency. "When interviewed she said sho was opposed to men monopolizing all the offices. If elected she will nominate a number of women as judges of the United States court, and if any vacan cy occurs in the United States su premo court she will endeavor to find a woman competent for the po sition. Chas. J. FoiiGER, secretary of the treasury, died suddenly at Geneva, New York, last Thursday afternoon. He was the first secretary of the treasury to die in office, and -will be chiefly remembered as the man that Grover Cleveland beat by 200,000 ma jority for governor of New York, in the fall of 1882.
