WENDAIT.
The death of Wendell Phillips , nt the
ftpto of 7 1 , removes from mnong us ono
of the lasl of the laborers in the cause of
freedom , His genius was individual and
apart from the common lot of genius ,
His work was always his own and never
another's. Few orators of our country
have had a power equal to his , and no
other such power as ho exhibited. His
speech , always finished and perfect in
every direction , was ever distinctively
his own. It was always alive with the
fire of his own pcnius a fire which burn
ed over to reconstruct and never to de
stroy.
Phillips' father was the first mayor of
Boston , Wendell graduated at Harvard
in 1831 , and was admitted to the bar in
18IM , after completing the course in the
Cambridge law school. The first stage
of the struggle , between the forces of
liberty and slavery was already begun ,
and it was inevitable that a young man
likoThillips.of full physical and spiritual
health , should take parr in that strug
gle Garrisonby his clear and courageous
declaration of principles , had made that
struggle inevitable ; and such was his
nature , such the character of this advo
cacy that it must bo fought to the end.
The principles ho enunciated wore primal
to our form of government ; they ntruck
deep to the foundations of republican
society In 1835 , when twonty-four
years old , Phillips witnessed a spectacle
which stirred him to the deepest depths ,
and moved a noble nature profoundly
and lastingly. It was that of "tho
broadcloth mob" a mob of mon of
wealth and social position which broke
into and dispersed a meeting of the
Women's Anti-Slavery society. The
president of the society was Mrs. Mnria
Weston Chapman , than whom America
never know a better trained , a moro cul
tivated and earnest woman , with nobler
manners , with a larger heart , or richer
in sowing common sense ; and behind her
Phillips saw n band of women of like
order , delicately born and bred , who could
teach mon what courage and what
strength belief in principle can impart to
the weak. Phillips saw the face of this
woman as she talked out of the hall ,
vrhoro the mayor had told her ho had no
power to protect horor her society. From
that day to this the cause of the rights
of women hold in his mind a place
alongside of that of the rights of the
slave.
It was not till two years later , in 1837 ,
that Plillips macto his first distinguished
mark as an orator , and sot his hand to
the plow , from which ho never looked'
back. Itov. Elijah P. Lovojoy , the edi
tor of an anti-slavery newspaper at Alton ,
111. , had boon killed by n mob while
striving to save his press and oflico from
its fury. A native of Now England , and
a man of character and wealth , his death
profoundly moved the friends of the
slavery causo. Hero in Boston it was
felt that the Alton mob was in
spired by the same spirit which
had animated the "broadcloth
mob. " The meeting in Boston , under
crafty leadership , promised to display
n cowardly conservatism , when Wendell
Phillips , in a fiery speech , yet manly and
logical , took it out of the hands of the
souls who hold the clotbes of the mar
tyrs and wore consenting to their death.
After this Phillips looked not back. Ho
gave up his commission as a lawyer ; for
ho could no longer hold himself bound to
obey a constitution which protected the
holder of slaves in rights which ho had
determined never to recognize and utter
ly to destroy. Ho made at once a sacri
fice such as few young mon had over
mado. Along with well brooding and
fortune , ho had all personal advantages ,
with all the native gifts of the orator.
Upon all that had attracted his youth ,
his genius , his learning and his grace ho
turned his back. Ho saw but a grim
prospect. Not that , like Garrison , he
saw starvation staring him in the face ;
for all his material wants wore secure
from peril ; but everything that makes
life clear to social man was on. the
hazard of the edge ho cast , when ho re-
signodjiis position at the bar and joined
the anti-slavery cause. Wo. cannot to
day imagine the social pressure brought
to boar on these who took up the antislavery -
slavery cause in earnest' the doors once
gladly opened now shut in their faces ,
the averted glances in the street , the
open cuts from old-tima friends. But
all these Phillips bore with light hearted
cheerfulness and swootnoas.
From that time , giving up all other
employment , ho devoted himself with un
flinching energy and with infinite
resource to the advocacy of the anti-
ulavery cause. He was its chosen spokes
man and orator. The charms of his
speech were such as the most consum
mate oratory has rarely exhibited a
powerful logic , a wit that played about
his theme with the sunbeam's purity
and power , and a command of English
that betokened acquaintance with the
best works of every master. Fairly may
it bo questioned whether there has over
spoken such an orator as Wendell Phil ,
lips such weight of matter , such manli
ness of manner. Ho spoke
always and everywhere , always without
pay , often paying his own oxpousos. Ho
never used notes , never wrote out his
speeches beforehand. His manner was
grave and dignified ; his gestures were
few , and seemed always struck out from
the Cro of the moment. His speech be
gan with a logical and lawyor-liko setting
out of hio subject with great clearness
of argument ; and when ho wont off now
and then to moot an interruption , to
answer a question , to parry a thrust of
insult , ho [ quickly returned to
beat out the iron on his auvil. Ha had
not Mr , Lincoln's gift of atory
itolling , yet lie know well the charm of
anecdote , of illustrations from history
and biography , ftnd his speech WHS rich
in the grace that cornea from the apt in-
t re u action of thorn.
No speaker was moro welcome every
where than ho , nnd when the atom of
the anti-slnvory ngitntion had spent itself ,
o natno was so sure as his to draw out
lie population of the towns nnd villages
f Now Kngland nnd the west. In Now
fork and Boston ho was always sure of
crowded house , and ho was always
ondy to sponk for nny cause ho hold
( car , and moro especially for temperance
* nd the rifr.hU of women. fie did not
ccturo often on topics of art from his
nain environs , with the exception of his
octurcs "On the Lost Arts , " and Tous-
alnt L' Overture , which ho gave east
and west an innuendo number of times ,
Of late yoara ho has but rarely appeared
n public. His last and , indeed his
irst appearance in Omaha was some
five or six years ago , nt the Academy of
Husic.
Tin : lynching of murderers has boon a
very frequent occurrence in Colorado of
ate , and this method of dealing out sure
and swift justice will continue as long as
, hd technicalities of the law afford to as
sassins so many loopholes through which
to escape. The Denver Tribune says
that "until Colorado nndulgcs in a few
legal hangings , Judge Lynch will reign ,
a terror to evil-doers. * * * Judge
Lynch is a lawless protest against the
lawlessness of courts. If mcn.woro hung
for murder if evidence were worth as
much as legal technicalities thorowould
bo no lynching. A lynching is a con-
dcmnation of court ; . It is on expression
of doubt of their desire and ability to
administer justice. In countries whore
there nro no courts , men resort to lynch
ing , In places whore the courts are val
ueless it is quito as common to regard
them non-existent and act
as - according-
ly. Where murder in punished by the
proper authorities , there will bo no need
of the punishment of murderers by the
improper authorities. "
The chief ollicors of the law in Ne
braska might take a lesson from Colora-
do. Hero in Nebraska n legal execution
for murder has gene out of fashion. Two
convicted murderers , sentenced to clcatji ,
recently had their sentence commuted to
lifo imprisonment , and a third will prob
ably receive the same punishment , after
ho has boon tried , convicted and sen
tenced to death two or throe times more.
The people of Nebraska are becoming
tired of this lame administration of jus
tice , and are sorely tempted to take the
law into their own hands , after the Col
orado style , and thus administer a rebuke
to the supreme court and the governor.
THE senatorial contest in Kentucky is
still in progress , but it is predicted that
it will virtually bo ended to-night. It is
now generally believed that Carlisle will
bo nominated. At the caucus on Satur
day night a resolution was adopted pro
viding that the hindmost candidate
should bo dropped on the even ballot
after the third ono taken on Monday
nlglit. It is said that at least ton of the
twenty-two Swoonoy men are in favor of
Carlisle , and that the others are so di
vided between Williams and Blackburn
that a compromise man will have to bo
agreed upon , and that that man is Car
lisle. It is claimed that ho will receive
70 votes on the final ballot , Gl boinq nec
essary to a choice. Swoonoy , who has
hold the balance of power until the last
two or three days , has loft Frankfort in
despair.
THE tariff discussion begins to-day ,
the speeches to bo limited to half an hour
each. Mr. Morrison will introduce his
tariff bill , which will reduce everything
included in it twenty per cent , but a
great many exceptions will bo mado.
Chemicals wilt have a few exceptions ;
tobacco none ; earthenware none ; sugars
will bo reduced ; liquors remain un
touched ; provisions will have numerous
exceptions ; silks will not bo touched ;
textile fabrics are to bo cut twenty per
cent ; books and papois will bo reduced ;
hemp , jute , and ( lax will receive alight
reductions ; lumber is to bo revised.
This bill has so many exceptions tlut
when it goes through the congressional
mill it will not bo recognized by its au
thor , owing to the many changes that
will have boon made in it. Other bills
will prabably bo introduced , the tendency
of congress being toward tariff reform.
THE bill for the forfeiture of the Texas -
as Pacific land grant having passed the
house by a vote of 250 to 1 , the senate
cannot do otherwise than concur. The
members of the senate public lands com
mittee , to which this bill will go , is composed -
posed of Mr. Plumb , of Kansas ; Mr.
Hill , of Colorado ; Mr. Blair , of Now
Hampshire ; Mr. Van Wyck , of Nebras
ka ; Mr. Dolph , of Oregon ; Mr. Walker ,
of Arkansas ; Mr , Morgan , of Alabama ;
Mr. Blator , of Oregon , and Mr. Gibson ,
of Louisiana. The people will look to
this committee for prompt action , in
recommending the concurrence of the
senate , so that 15,000,000 acres of land
belonging to the public domain shall bo
thrown open to settlement.
CAITAIN MARY A. MILLER has at last
triumphed , She has captured Secretary
Folgcr , who says ho knows of no good
reason why she or any other woman may
not , if "skilled , honest , intelligent ,
hardy mid prudent enough , " commadd a
steam vessel and navigate it. In other
words , ho says she can paddle her own
cauoo if she wants to and is able to dc
it , and ho has accordingly oidorod the
steamboat inspectors to examine her as
to capacity , end if found capable to give
her a license.
TUG high liceuso system , which has
proved a success in Nebraska , ia mooting
with favorable consideration in other
states. It has been adopted in Missouri ,
Illinois and Ohio , although the license in
these states is only about half what it is
in Nebraska. A bill is now being pre
pared to bo submitted to the Now York
legislature restricting the number of
licenses to ono for every 500 of the pop-
lation. The annual tax on malt liquor
oilers , which is only $30 , is to bo raised
> $250 , while the retailers of spirits ,
ho now pay only § 7" , are to bo taxed
500.
A VETERAN JOURNALIST.
Dr. Talmago delivered the discourse at
, ho funeral of Dr. Wood , the veteran
ournalist of forty years' service , who
est his lifo nt a Now York dock the oth
r night. It was in the performance of
is duty that Wood fell. Says Dr. Tal-
nago : "Wo are nil asked , at the arrival
if the dreadful news of his death , What
: ould ho have been doing along the
wharves of the North river at half-past
wolvo nt night when ho made that mis-
, tcp. It was not until yesterday , and
iftor the first shock of the tidings had
been passed , that his wife bethought
"icrsolf of the fact that ho had projected
'or himself what ho thought mightbo an
nteresting and suggestive article , to bo
entitled , 'Midnight on the wharves ol
Now York. ' She advised him of the
> oril of that attempt , with hit !
defective sight , in that God for
saken region , and urged him to delegate
sotno 0110 else for the task. Ho said.
No , I must , see thorn myself , and have
the last degrcn of accuracy of descrip
tion. ' Through that consecration to his
work came that camialty that has left his
liomo desolate. " Wo stand at the casko
of n martyr of American journalism , con
tinued Dr. Talmago :
So closes a lifo in th.it precarious pro-
fu&aion , the struggles , and hardships ntu
exposures \\hichfownpprecinlo. . Al"
of us want the nous , and the nowcnl
news , and that news placed in the bcsi
shape. Yet how few realize what toils
and fatiguoa every issue of every morn <

The scnsoleas clamor of the public for
cheaper and cheaper newspapers , uuti"
wo got what is equal to n book or smal
library in ono newspaper for two or three
cents , may bo great sport for us and may
take no moro from the stockholders of !
newspaper than they can spare withou
any serious inconvenience , hut thodomaiu
comes with crushing weight upon the
reportorial worker , who must do more
work for less pay. It fetches the blood
Standing by this casket of a dead jour
nalist , I demand that the public take the
foot of invasion off the hearthstone am
the broad tray of the men who write
throe-fourths of the reading matter o :
our morning and evening newspapers
With the vast majority of journalists ii
is n hand to hand fight for broad , am
nothing over for a time of sickness am
old ago. Toil of hand and foot in this
country often have lowest compensation
but still moro inadequately paid is thi
toil of brain. When a pen , for thirt ]
years driven at the top of its speed acrosi
the midnight page , comes to its last para
graph , and slows up in its last sentence
and stops at its last word , and rests at it
last period , it is to bo congratulate ;
above all the pens that continue tlioi
weary flight. "
A NEW JERSEY editor , after giving
lloscoo C'onkling a very flattering pufl
wrote to that gentleman suggesting tha
it only needed the influence of Mr
Conkling to secure the nomination
Arthur. Mr. Conklim ? replied :
"When the Persian embassy was abou
to take leave of the Grecian court , one
iu olden time , they asked and receive (
some message from each of the personage
present. When the turn of Xeno cam
ho said : 4Tell your master that you sa\v

ascribe to my admiration for Xono anc
his teachings my silence touching you

future. "
A DILI , has been introduced in th
Wyoming legislature to tax bachelors
lawyers and "other animals. " It wa
probably inspired by women who are i
need of good husbandd , and who very
likely think it a shame that they shoul
sutler while so many rich bachelors ar
lying around loose in that territory. Th
bill is a good ono and ought to pass.
To THE Evening J'osf , of Now York
the whole exhibition which Keifer mad
of himself the other d.\y in the arraign
ment of Boynton is inexplicable , "oxcop
on the ground that Koifor is cither amai
of very dull perceptive faculties , or els
ho is determined to make the republican
suffer as much as possible for their sup
port of him. "
SriEoiiKR and Porryman nro riva
claimants to the chiofthip of the Croo
nation. Spiochor is in Washington try
ing his best to save his case , but mean
while two special agents of the Interio
department , appointed to investigate th
rival claims , have reported in Pcrryman1
favor.
NonoDY wants to servo on the Koifor
Boynton committee. Besides that th
investigation will bo disagreeable , it i
difficult to see how the truth can b
reached , since Koifor says that Boynton
attempt to corrupt him was made in
room whore no others were present.
