BUTLEIt TO THE REPORTERS.
Discussing Politics and the Press at the
Press Club Dinner.
First, it is iny grateful duty to thank
you for your very kind and courteous
and, I trust, appreciative, reception. I
desire to put myself right with the mem
bers of the press I see before me, as on
different occasions of my life it has been
my duty to make some severe strictures
upon the conduct of the press. [A Voice.
No doubt you did.] I have known yon
intimately and well for nearly a quarter
of a century. Before that I was so un
known that the press took no notice of
me. [Laughter.] I have met here half
dozen of the old army correspondents
and some of my old comrades, who
fought side by side with me in the great
est war the world ever had seen. 1 o
them I point to bear witness that
between myself and them, the guardians
of the press, the most intimate and
kindly relationsever existed. I have found
them enterprising, truthful, brave. If I
ever had to caution them in any way it
was to keep out of the way of danger,
and not press forward to the front, where
the bursting shell or the minie ball
might interrupt their pencils. To them
I appeal—to the worldngtnen of the press
—for the sentiments that have passed
from them to me, and from to
me, them at this moment come
welling up to my remembrance of
the old days of the war. Amid the
vicissitudes of politics, where we had to
change relations—for I holi to the high
est degree to the apothegm of Burke.
When parties change their principles,
patriots change their party” [applause]
—so sometimes I come, unwittingly,
perhaps, and not through any desire of
my own, to criticise the conduct of my
friends of the press.
I have always friends among the work
ing members of the press—the reporters
—the men that stand between the public
and that most inscrutable of all institu
tions, the editorial room. [Laughter.]
In th.fhundreds, I may say, of pilgrim
ages that I have made in the West, in
the Middle States, and in the Northarn
States, in the various political campaigns
in which I have engaged, I have always
found a place in my car for the represen
tatives of the press, and a place in heart
for their honesty and probity. But alas!
the night editors [laughter] the men that
I suppose in the course of their duty
have to read wha? reporters have sup
plied, who take it and attempt to make
English of it according to their under
standing—God help them! what a task
that was to them, aid what disappoint
ment to me! [Laughter.]
I see here a company different in
many respects from that I had the honor
to address last night in the place where I
now stand. There is a distinction which
is in favor of the youth and energy and
intelligence and viyacity which have
passed away from age. I must adopt the
witticism, if any may be permitted, to
give credit where it is due, of one of your
members, who said that last night I ad
dressed the Pharisees, and to-night I ad
dress the Scribes. [Laughter.] Now,
gentlemen, the toast which you hare
given me has a connection with the
politics of the press.-That is a subject
for most curious study, which I have had
no opportunity to give it, since I made
my decision to be here to-night, and
therefore, if lam crude in what I have
to say, your intelligence and knowledge,
[am sure, will correct me. It is one of
tiie most curious arfd wonderful problems
in the history of the republic. Let me
go back for a Aoment to thq days when
the press and politics came into collision
in the days of the elder Adams, when to
curb the press the alien and sedition laws
were passed, when Duane and the Era
suffered administrative and federal per
secution. In the battle between the ad
ministrative power of the federal govern
ment and the press the federal govern
ment went under, and the press came
out on top, and John Adams h*d but a
single term of office. At that time, too,
I must remember that the public men of
the day, instead of addressing themselves
to the public through the press, cliosejto
express themselves to the public through
pamphlets. The pamphlet was the
weapon of the politician of those days of
Thomas Jefferson, and not the columns
of the newspaper. I need only to call
your attention to the famous pamphlet of
Hamilton, when he was accused of that
which now would make many a para
graph, to whi:h the report would lend
“obliteration’s artful aid,” to make it
readable in the head lines, at least.
Hamilton defended himself from the
charge by a manly confession of the part
of it that was true that did not effect his
honor. But that which did affect his
honor, he proved beyond peradventure
was not true. Aud so the war of pam
phlets, went on which the public men
used either for attack or defence.
Afterward the press gradually assum
ed the importance which has been grow
ing since. The first and best organiza
tion of the press in favor of the adminis
tration was under the administration of
Andrew Jackson, when the Globe be
came the well-recognized organ of the
government, and members of the cabi
net wrote the editorials, showing what
was to be the fiat of the administration.
In a few days after this appeared in the
Globe it was a sort of experiment upon
the feelings of the people. Ah then
they understood well how to manage the
press. The Globe put out a proposition
that was to be made the subject of ad
ministrative action. Every party organ
—and they took care then to have post
masters who owned newspapers—-every
party organ copied the article and made
comments upon it, and the postmasters
generally favored the -proposition
Then, afterward, these comments were
copied in the local papers and recopied
in the Globe as an expression of the will
of the people upon the measure. [Laugh
ter.] In that day no office seeker
thought his papers complete for the pres
entation to the president or the depart
ments without they contained a receipt
in full for a year’s subscription to the
Globe. That was the time when the pat
ronage of the general government was
overshadowing, although it was hat a
penny in hand to what it has now.
What broke into that? It was the patron
age of the great state of New York,
which became of more consequence to
its citizens than the patronage of the fed
eral government, and it was better to be
Port Warden of a great city of New
York than to be collector. That broke
up the party organ, and since that time
there has been no regular organ of the
federal government. We have regidar
organs of the railroad interest, but they
do not count in this discussion.
From that day the press has sprung
away from the organic character, and
the metropolitan press of New York has.
become a dominant power in politics so
far as the press can be a dominant power.
It might be a dominant power to any ex
tent, in my judgment, if it would do one
or two things. It should discuss *great
principles in short paragraphs, and leave
out personal abuse as not convincing
argument. [Applause.] The old days
of long prosy editorials have gone by.
Nobody reads them. People read the
telegraph dispatches and the short notes
of the reporter at the head of the report,
and the rest of the paper, except, per
haps, the stock market reports, go for
nothing.
Such has been the connection of the
press with politics, hurriedly and imper
fectly sketched, but I believe, truly
sketched. Now comes the connection of
the press of to-day with politics. It is a
great power in this regard, and with
your busy pens what the politician says
is brought before the whole people to
be weighed and judged. I have seen
men in Congress looking up in the midst
of their speeches to the reporter's gallery
to see in the faces of the men there what
would be the effect of their speeches
upon the public. Now, gentlemen, the
destiny of the people of this country is
in your hands in this regard. In the
olden time it was said: “Let me make
the songs of a country, and I care not
who makes the laws.” We can see the
force of this when we remember that
one song! “Lillibulero,” dethroned a
monarch. But we have changed all that.
The sentiment now is: “The press
makes the law of the land, for no law of
the land is made against tiie united voice
of the press, as it cannot be enforced.”
Now I say—l may not say “brethren,”
but I can say fellow citizens”—having a
great giant’s power, used it like a giant,
and see to it that the laws which you
make—for they come from your toil—are
just and true to the great body of the
people. Not for the dilettanti on the one
sipe, or for the tramp on the other, but
for the workingmen of the nation, the
men of industry and euterprise of the
nation. Let them be just laws, and this
country will go on in its career of glory,
honor and prosperity that shall make it
the model country of the world, with
true liberty, uuder law guided by prin
ciple and civilization and high honor
and religion.”
EXCURSION INCIDENTS.
How a Body of Politicians Were Reviv
ed and Discovered Something
Valuable.
The Tammany excursion to the late
state convention at Buffalo were surpris
ed on their return trip last Friday by the
introduction into their midst of two at
tractive looking cases marked in a bold,
running hand, “Tippecanoe.” This la
conic inscription somewhat troubled the
placid breasts of the leading district lead
ers, who were on the alert to capture the
scalps of lagging County delegates, in
retaliation for their appropriating Tam
many’s thunder.
As the train steamed out of the Roches
ter depot, a young man gently touched
the shoulder of Hon. John Kelly, and
gesticulated in the direction of the case*
aforesaid. Mr. Kelly at once took in the
situation, and, linking the arm of the
young man, went forth to investigate the
secret of of the mystierous boxes.
“Tippecanoe!” exclaimed the well
known leader. “Why, I knew him and
Tyler, too.”
“Yes,” ejaculated delegate Plunkett,
“we were bosom friends. Tip’ was a
good old soul, and so was Tyler, too.”
These bursts of extempore wit had the
effect of bringing the different delegates
to their feet, and or.e and all let loose
their fund of pungeney upon the “Tippe
canoe” cases.
“Let’s open them?” suggested a dele
gate ; and in the space of 57 and one-half
second the contents of the cases were
undergoing critical analysis, when it was
found that “Tippecanoe” wa* a prepara
tion far superior to any bitters now, or
ever known to the public. As the dele
gates slaked their assimilated thirsts, they
one and all praised “Tippecanoe” and
Tyler, too. while complimentary remarks
were made by such adepts as the Hon.
John Kelly, George W. Plunkett, Wil
liam H. Ilullihan, Senator Treanor, and
many others. It was generally conced
ed that “Tippecanoe” had the effect of
infusing new life and energy in the ranks
of the assembled warriors and clearing
their intellects after the very severe phy
sical and mental strain incident to the
convention, so that while it was consid
ered at first simply a palatable drink, it
proved to be a preparation which not on
ly refreshed, but was unquestionably the
best remedy known for dyspepsia, rnal
asslmllation of foot!, stomach disorders,
general functional derangements, consti
pation, tired feelings, malaria, blood dis
orders, skin eruptions, loss of energy,
feeble appetite, bilious headache, etc.
The combination of a delicious drink with
a wonderfully efficient remedy is as grat
ifying as it is rare.
The above truthful incident, regarding
the new preparation which is being in
troduced to the public, and is certain to
supercede all “bitters,” is taken from
the New York Standard of a recent issue.
“Tippecanoe” is prepared by Mr. 11. H.
Warnei, of Rochester, N. Y., who is
known to every man, woman and child
in the land as proprietor of Warner’s
Safe Cure, better known as Warner’s
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. In addi
tion also to “Tippecanoe,” Mr. Warner
is just introducing a Safe Rheumatic
Cure which he personally guarantees to
cure ninety-live per cent, of all rheumatic
affections. The popularity of the Safe
Cure, together with the high personal
standing of Mr. Warner, make this the
most complete and responsible guarantee
possible. The peculiar nainfe of “Tippe
canoe” is, as we learn, adopted to pre
vent the fraudulent imitations which al
ways follow meritorious articles. Its
principal ingredients were used by the
Harrison family in those early days and
became famous for efficiency at that time.
The terrible revelations made by modern
health statistics indicate that something
must be done to check the ravages of dis
ease and stop untimely deaths. Thous
ands of persons are dying annually from
no other cause than thoughtless neglet.
The slight symptoms of uneasiness, head
aches, constipation, stomach derange
ments, mal-assimilation of food and other
similar troubles are often considered of
too little importance to require attention
or treatment. They are therefore per
mitted to continue until the health is
broken, the constitution wrecked and the
life exhausted, when by a timely use of
the right remedy health might be secur
ed and life prolonged.
JUBAL EARLY.
How He Would Practice Conscription.
From Tho. New York Sun.
Old Jubal Earl/ is a character in Vir
ginia. lie is drawn up into a hard knot
with rheumatism, and has a face like a
hickory nut. His voice is pitched on a
very high key, and he is a compound of
shrewdness and sarcasm >iu equal parts.
He was strongly opposed secession at the
beginning of the war, although he fought
valiantly when lighting was inevitable.
In the Virginia convention of 1861 he
attacked the conduct of South Carolina
bitterly. After the war had actually
begun, he had in his brigade a South
Carolina regiment. It was observed
that Jubal was sure to put that
regiment in the most ticklish place
when the brigade was under fire.
During one of the battles around
Richmond Early’s brigade was ordered
to the front and, as usual, Early made
the South Carolina fellows head the
column, squeaking out at the top of his
voice, as he rode up to them, “Yes, I’ll
send you to the front, and I’ll keep you
theie too. You got us into this fix,
and, d—n you, you’ve got to get us out.”
During the war he went to church
only once, and his experience then was
not such as to encourage him to go
again. It was in the winter of 1864,
when the States were agita
ting the expendiency of a conscription.
Gen. Early was one of the most ardent
advocates of it. He talked conscription
in season and out of season, and wanted
to conscript everything. One Sunday
morning, to the amazement of his staff,
he proposed that they should ride over to
a neighboring church and hear the ser
mon. The officers were nearly paralyzed
at the proposition, but, of course, con
sented promptly. The country congre
gation was astonished at seeing General
Early and his entire staff march solemn
ly into the church and take their seats in
the front pews. As soon as old Jubal
settled himself he laid his head back and
lapsed into a comfortable nap. The
clergyman took for his subject the testi
mony of the truths of Christianity.
After preaching an hour or tw’O, he
asked:
“What would you say, my brethren,
if the dead of all times and nations
and ages should pass in a solemn review
before you? What would be your feel
ings at seeing this vast and countless
multitude from the grave? What would
you do with all this army of men of
grades, all professions, all of every kind
before you? I repeat,” with a whack
on the desk, “what would you do?”
“Do?” brawled Jubal, suddenly
aroused from his nap, “I’d conscript
eyery one of them!”
A roar went up from the congrega
tion and Jubal made a bee line for the
door.
A Stalwart Old Enmy.
One of the toughest old adversaries of
human comfort, and most difficult to ex
terminate, is rheumatism. Many mid
dle-aged people suffer torture with it,
and the old folks who have it find it the
pest of their lives. The case of a vener
able lady of Lewistown, Mass., is of
great interest to the victims of this tough
old enemy. M.m. Swettsavs: “I have
been using Perky Davis’s Pain Killer
for about eight years. As soon as I ap
ply Pain Killer I have almost immediate
relief from pain.”
The latest news from Africa is that the
Zulu King has the croup; this news is
doubted by many, but notwithstanding,
the friends of the king have sent him a
case of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup and con
sequently know his cure is certain.

North Carolina will levy no state tax
next year. The Western North Carolina
railroad company will pay into the treas
ury $600,000, which sum will carry the
state government.
Wyoming is enjoying to its fullest ex
tent the blessings of free government a.id
universal suffrage. A laboring man out
there was offered SSO for the votes of
himself, wife and three daughters. Peo
ple out there are not so anxious to marry
off their grown daughters as they are in
less favored sections.
According to the New' York Tribune,
there are only six distilleries of rum in
the country and all six are in Massachu
setts. Of nearly half a million gallons of
rum exported last year the greater part
went to Africa. Massachusetts’ love for
the negro in life, and for his hide after
death, is manifested in many striking
w-ays.
Isn’t that a magnanimous proposition
of an Englishman, that France, after
whipping China and incurring immense
expense iff so doing, shall accept the ar
bitration of the European powers In fix
ing the terms of peace? Not so does Bri

possessions all over the world, acquired
by force of arms and money, abundantly
testify.
Mohammedan people in Africa, Asia
and Europe are wild and restless in view
of the success of El Mahdi. An uprising
in fayor of the pretender, in all Moham
medan countries, is looked upon as quite
probable by those who are best acquaint
ed with the natives of such countries.
Such an event would result in changing
the map of more than one country in
both Africa and Europe.
Georgia’s cotton factories were under
investigation before Senator Blair’s com
mittee in Augusta last week, and wit
nesses testified that those in Augusta em
ploy 4,000 opera .ires, mostly women and
children. Some factories yielded *2O per
cent, dividends' until 1873, and since that
time the average has been 8 per cent.
The goods are shipped to Boston and to
Africa and China. The operatives go to
work at 6 a. m., work eleven hours a
day, and are paid an average of eighty
cents a day.
“JAPS” INSTEAD OF CHINESE.
The Chinese exclusion act seems to
have given an impulse to immigration
from Japan. More Japanese are daily
seen on our streets, though owing to their
ready adaptability to our diess and man
ners the increase has not been generally
noted. They are a desirable class of ser
vants and workingmen, being quite in
genious and teachable, and if there is
really a scarcity of labor among the grape
growers and orchardists of California a
means is here offered to supply the want
without danger to the labor market.
There must, however, be gome aid to the
immigration, or at least, some organized
encouragement which will bring them
in such numbers as may be needed. The
Japanese have none of the objectionable
qualities of the Chinese. They readily
adopt our customs and gradually lose
their identity in the mass of our people.
No Japanese quarter could ever grow up
in any city to disgust with its squalor, or
to lend its aid and countenance not mere
ly to its own special vices, but to those of
a class of degraded w’hites who are only
too glad to take advantage of the conceal
ment thus afforded. They are neat and
handy, and therefore much sought after
for servants. For all kinds of light work,
of which there is abundance in the fields
and orchards of this state, they would
prove useful. The boys and young men
of the city might supply the lack, but it
is hopeless to expect that they will im
prove the opportunity. While there is
reason to believe that we can get sufficient
number of the kind of laborers we w ant
from Japan, there is no fear that the im
migration would prove excessive. The
population is only 37,000,000, and the
common people being in fair circumstan
ces, only a small proportion care to leave
their homes. —San Francisco Chronicle.
Polishing the Wrong End.
Many men daily polish their hair, ex
cept to harrow it casually with brush
and comb, or submit it to the paralyzing
attentions of the average barber. What
happens? Why, this: From negleet,

the hair turns prematurely gray and be
gins to fall out. Parker’s Hair Balsam
will at once stop the latter process and

The Athens Banner-Watchman says:
“Miss Sallie Cook, of Jasper
who has been living with Mrs. King for
several months, was courted and won by
Mr. Henderson Smith, and married to him
on Sunday last, at the residence of Mrs.
G. W. King, by the Rev. T. A. Harris.
Mrs. King, with her well-known hospit
ality, had thrown open her entire house,
prepared for the ceremony, and was rea
dy to receive the guests of the occasion;
but Miss Sadie preferred the big road at
the well-known race track at Greer’s
lane. The groom had no objection what
place lie married at so he got Miss Sajlie.
So they were married in the big road,
notwithstanding a heavy rain was fall
ing, much to the disgust of Mrs. King,
and the spectators, who think this quite
an innovation of Clarke county mar
riages.”
