SKNATOUVAN WVCK is expected llOtllO Irotn Waaliuigton in a few days and will doubtless have something to say to the people of Nebraska upon the senatorial canvass.

Tnr sennto on Tuesday took the house to task for its carelessness in the prepara tion of appropriation bills , which Mr. Halo stated is becoming worse from year to year. Mr. Edmunds explained that the omission of appropriations known to bo necessary , and for which deficiency bills are annually passed , is done to de lude the people with the idea of "how economical congress had been. " This is Hie sort of inside information of which .tHo country gets too little. The house opinion of the senate will bo awaited wjth interest. A cou.iuriui : of Samuel J. KandaJ ) , the "boss" of the house , describes him as "u natural born despot , aj-gressivo , belli- parent and domineering. " l-'ully equipped by long congn siomil expe rience , ho IH "tho gladiator of the legisla tive arena , " "Ho fc the Uismarok ofjll'j Amen m congress , the John L.

" Kaiidall is certainly n trouble- Bonio mail ) but his motive * aud aims are BO well understood tnat ho Is not very dangerous. Ciur.r HUTLGK now knows what it is to Voslgn in haste and repent nt leisure. His resignation has been promptly accepted by the council nfter an investigation which showed very clearly that Mr. 15ut- lor hns outlived his usofillness as a city of Uolnl. While nooriminal intent was found innnyof tlio lire chief'a ' olllolal actions 'there was ample proof that ho had failed tooomply with the requirements of his office. This was especially true of his 'rotations ' to other city ollieials nnil the council. Mr. Bailer has found out that resigning in n pot is risky business. The council lias very properly taken him at liis word , There is too much of struggle - glo for city positions for any boy'a play in throwing up a good job in thu hope of picking it up later , Now Hint a beginning has been made IB straightening out tlio bitlownlka on Parnum , let us have no more delay in putting that street In u passable eniuli' tlon fur pedestrians , llr , Samuel Her man's wnlk , across the vray from the I'axton , is in bad shape uud should be promptly condemned , Councilman ( joodrieh , too , might improve Ids prop- f orty and benefit the city by ripping up Ids board sidownlu nnd putting down something more substantial , A dozen ether property owners nrc in the same boat. It is surprising to us that tlio proper authorities , who are fully empowered . to attend to the matter , do not tuku charge nnd Uo their duty , Our k fine pavements nre every day in the year setoft'b.ytho worstbidowalks in thu west , Silk stockings in worn out and patched shoes ito not favorably impress the pub lic , \Vliut Omaha wants and must have is a complete renovation of the plank 'trfdownlk nuisance on the business streets. "A fifty dollar walk in front of a flfty thousand dollar building is a dis graceful commentary , on ofllcial neglcst , 4 id private enterprise. No other city to tlio west permits it. Why should Owalta ? Hninucl J. Tltdcn. J'he country has lost another citizen eminent in its politics , and the demo cratic party one of its most dlstln- gitishdd and honored lenders. Snmuel ) . Tilden , , whoso death occurred Wednes day at ( "Jraystono , and n record in detail of whose career Is elsewhere given , had for liftccn years past hern ti command ing figure in our national polities , enjoy ing the confidence nnd respect of the democracy to a degree that it Imq boon the fortune of few other men to do , nnd possessing also a generous measure of the estt'cm of his countrymen generally for qualities in which ho had no suprrior among his compeers , Although for a number of years In feeble health , there had boon no very recent intimation that Mr. Tlldcu's condition had crown more serious than it had been reported to bo a do7.cn times within half as many years , nnd the announcement of his death will therefore pause a shock of surprise to the country and : i widespread feeling of regret. Any immediate nnd hastily prepared estimate of the character of a man whoso political earner was so rnninrktiblo and eventful as that of Samuel J.Tildonmual ni'i'pssaiilv bo defective , nnd there are special and obvious difliculties oouuncled with such a task in the case of Mr. Til- den. The one great ? 'ti26'25 ! m ills ca'rcor which makes it wholly exceptional in the country's history presents so many fea tures that assort their influence on the judgment , that it is not an easy matter to nt once give eacii Its just \\eighl and Mgnilic-aneo , and by n pioccss of judicial Reparation , comparison and measure ment roach a verdict both thorough and entirely just. There will of necessity bo a wide divergence of opinion regarding the dead politician , but the time is cor- tninly come when there can bo no fur ther object , If there ever existed an ob- jeot , in withholding from him anything that i.s justly his due or denying any of the merits or worthy ciualilications to which his career bears testimony. Those who are disposed to adlio.ro strictly to this view will certainly not llud the career and character of Mr. Til- den a barren or unfruitful theme. The llrst conspicuously great public work of his life was the overthrow of the Tweed ring , and ho entered upon and pursued that task with the persistence and zeal of u blneoro reformer. It would not be impossible , perhaps , to find an impelling motive and ulterior aim in connection with this work not wholly unselfish in their nature , but it is more in the line of a just judgment to believe that ho was actuated in this matter solely by the desire to rid the people of a monster vampire that had been for years mercilessly preying upon them , and winch had grown so strong and potent and llrinly fixed that it believed itself .secure against deleat and overthrow. It required a man of great courage and un limited faitli in the people to grapple this giant of robbery and debauchery , and in essaying the task and successfully carry ing it out , Mr. Tilden demonstrated that ho was possessed of a quality which at the time commended him to a largo portion tion of his countrymen as a leader worthy of their highest confidence , As the gov ernor"of New York lie instituted reforms whioii were in the interest o | the people , and wlion in 1870 ho was made tlio stand ard bearer of tlio domodracy and pro claimed as the ideal reform statesman and leader , ho did not wear the title un worthily , The memorable presidential contest of 1870 , the culmination of which was one of the supreme tests of our re publican system , brought out to its fullest development tlio great skill and capacity of Mr. Tilden as a po litical organizer. The "still hunt" meth ods which ho hail successfully employed in New York wore brought into more general requisition in this campaign , and it was at this time that the "literary bureau" found its most effective , if not its very lirst utilization. More entirely , perhaps , than any other presidential can didate of late years , Mr. Tilden gaye his personal attention to this campaign , and the results or effects of his peculiar meth ods of political warfare were continually showing themselves on every hand in every section of the country. lie made some mistakes , ho yielded in OHO or two vital instances to injudicious advisers , ho dissipated efforts in some directions that employed elsewhere might have boon of great service to him ; but on the whole lie conducted his campaign with signal skill and discretion , justifying all that had been claimed for him as a politician of unsurpassed ability and almost unlim ited resources. Of course , Mr , Tildon believed always , as the great majority of his party still be lieve , that ho was fairly elected to the presidency , and that tlio decision which deprived Inm of that position was Un just and fraudulent. This is not. thu place to revive or review that contro versy , Happily the wisdom of the pee ple's representatives found a way to set tle the issue , which for a time threatened the most disastrous consequences to the peace , and perhaps oven the perma nence , of the union , and that settlement was peaceably acquiesced in by the peo- pie , There wore at least two phases of Mr , Tildon's character shown in connec tion with this extraordinary event which wore in such broad contrast as to require a reference. Ono was his employment of the corruption and trickery of the un scrupulous politician , in the effort to se cure the returns of Oregon , which was the supremely dishonest and discredit able act of his career , nnd the other was his patriotic refusal to listen for an in stant to the revolutionary demand of n large clement of his party that ho should resist the decision of the electoral com mission. This refusal of Mr. Tildon to countenance any suggestion or effort on the part of his hot-headed and reckless supporters caused him to bo widely denounced by this class as a coward , who had thus proclaimed Himself unfit to bo the executive of u great nation or the loader of a party , but it is to the honor of Mr. Tildon's memory that ho was unmoved by appeal , blusterer or abuse , It was an opportunity which n man of inordinate ambition , reckless of the peace and welfare of his country a man with the instluctCto rule or ruin- would have taken advantage of. There was no demand for great combative cour age. A word from Mr. Tildon would per haps have been sufficient to start the fires of civil strife , that might have swept the nation from end to end , but which would not have necessarily involved any pur- sonal danger or sacrifice on hid part. But there was a demand for the c of patriotism , and that , lot It be said in justice , Mr , Tildon possessed. In his retirement since that momornblo epoch Mr. Tilden never lo-tt interest in political affairs , anil his counsel was con tinually sought by the democratic lead ers. His most important recent public utterance was Ins letter to Speak er Carlisle , shortly after the as sembling of congress , in which lie urged the great nnd pressing import ance of strengthening the coast defenses ot the country and increasing tlio navy. That letter showed that the intellectual forces of its author were as active nnd vigorous as they had ever been. Mr Til den wa a lawyer of acknowledged abil ity , a close nnd logical reasoner , and a writer of notable force , lie did not have the opportunity to demonstrate whether ho possessed great ability in practical statesmanship , though tlio confidence of his ftiends in his capacity to meet any demand of public duty was unbounded. Take him for all In all , Samuel .1. Tilden was In most inspects a great citi7.cn , whoso nnmo has an assured place in the history of his country , nud a place that Ls not without honor , Two MuHtcra , The failure of the railroad attorneys' bill in the senate was of course to bo v DectwU MI ; ( Eumnnds , who devotes'n largo part of the time , for which ho draws salary from the people , to arguing rail road cases in the supreme court , knew what ho wri" about when ho succeeded in transferring tlio measure to the judiciary committee room. The Hon. George F. Hoar and Ingnlls , of Kansas , Uolpli nnd Mitchell , of Oiogon , nnd Spooncr , of Wisconsin , all of whom have their fingers tip to the joints in corporation pie , were glad enough to assist at the obsequies. Mr. Bock's bill came back from the judi ciary committee to be sure as Mr. Ed munds promised it would , but sp amended that it was promptly dropped amid general laughter. The senate of the United States has de creed that public service and advocacy of corporation interests are not incon sistent. Uut , after nil , the senate will not have the deciding vote upon the ques tion. That will bo cast in legislative halls by joint sessions convened to select representatives who will fearlessly and honestly servo their constituents. What ever may be thought of the possibility of combining the functions of railroad attor neys and national senators in Washing ton , common sense people not skilled in hair-snlittmg technicalities will refuse to bo converted to the senatorial view. No man can serve two masters. The interests of the corporations and the iniblic clash nt so many points which leg islation is called upon to clear away that honest allegiance to both is impossible. A railroad attorney conscientiously work ing for his clients under a retainer and faithfully defending the interests of the public under his oath is an impossibility. They llnvc Had Tficlr Dny. A paper in the Elkhorn Valley rejoices - joices over the failure of congress to agree upon the bills to repeal the pre emption and timber culture acts , because such repeal , as it assorts , would work se rious damage to the interests of Ne braska , In what wny ? TJio ] nn j K , jQt wll0go repeal hundreds of thousands of laboring men and farmers have petitioned , have operated for Hit ! past live years as a bar to honest settlement , and an obstruction to the development of the west. Eight out of every ten preemption Hlincs have cither been fraudulently made or se cured with the object of transfer and speculation. By far tlio largest piojjortion of tlioso in which the law has been fairly complied with are owned by men of ample means who have sold farms elsewero to realize on the advance of land which under the law they wore able to secure from the government nt a dollar and a quarter an acre , Nebraska is filled with honestly proved up preemptions whoso possessors took them up not to at tain needed homes but to make a turn on the real estate market. Hiuidrccls of others never improved and cultivated are the property of assignees and purchasers who bought the dug outs and fencing at a good advance over the government price while the lirst claimant in many cases moved further west ( Oi illo again and grow up with the country. The pre emption law 1ms been a hot bed of specu lation and fraud. So far from settling up the country rapidly , it has withdrawn largo areas from homestead entry requir ing live years' residence and cultivation , and turned them over to non-residents and eastern money lenders. Every county in the slate affords ample proof of the statement. Six months' living on a claim followed by its' sale and abandonment - , ment is of little practical benefit to any community. The timber culture law has been a farce for years. It has operated as an eight years' lease of 100 acres of land , fax free , at a total cost ot fifteen dollars. Not one timber claim in five of late years has been proved up on by the original entrymcu. The timber grown on Nebraska timber claims in the past five years would hardly run a Missouri river steamboat from Bis marck to St. Louis. Both laws have boon tukon advantage of by foreign capitalists until 40,000,000 , acres of government land are now controlled by lords , dukes and other wealthy nabobs acrosi the water. How much advantage the country has rcapod from this kind of immigration a largo steed telescope would fail to dis cover. The pre-emption nndtimbnr cul ture laws have had their day. Thotwcst known it as well as the laud office , But the homestead law , which eives ; a farm free of cost to ovnry poor man who will reside on it five years will still remain on the statute books , Residence and improvement nro what build up funning communities as they do cities and towns. Ono well cultivated homestead is worth , so far as the state is concerned , a thousand pre-emptions held for speculation by non resident capital ists. Tlio Hutilncss Situation. Midsummer-heat is having its usual effect upon the volume of trade , but there Is u steady improvement over lost year and an increasing feeling of cheerfulness among merchants and manufacturers in surveying the situation. Speoulution is chiefly concerning itself with the produce market , while in other lines prices are steady and trading conservative , Wheat shows no notowo ; thy ohangu since last advices. The visible supply shows an Increase which indicates free movement from farmers1 hands. Corn in which speculation lias been at iU height for two weeks as slightly weaker under reports of frequent ruinsi The result ot investigations by thto Cincinnati Price Current \ all section's ' o'f the corn bolt shows that the condition'of ' the crop aver , ages well east of Illinois. It hns been modified in that slatrt by the effects of dry weather , nud hns'been ' and is suffer ing more or loss seriously west of the Mississippi , with a njoderate degree of relief from recent rains in Kansas and Nebraska. Hut an average production west of tho'Mississlppi could hardly bo reached under favora'ble ' conditions dur ing the remainder ol | the season. The Price Current concludes , however , Hint a fairly good production of corn may bo realized from the entire acreage planted unless something more serious .should occur than is now indicated. The wool market is strong with stiffen ing prices. Cotton prices nro steady with fair demand for actual consumption. The situation of the dry goods trade is re ported satisfactory. The Iron and steel markets show encouraging activity , with out material change in values , Trade prospects nro excellent , especially in the direction of railway construction and equipment nnd bridge building ; and in dications point to sustained firmness in prices , though the large pioductlYe on- JJScily holds iu check any general ten dency to an advance. I'r.itsnNATION Is beginning to show through the dusters of some of the rail road newspaper agents who have under taken the task of handing over botli political parties , bag nnd baggage , to the allied corporations this fall. It Is a heavy job oven under the inspiration of the frantic shrieks for a "straight ticket. " Tun river and harbor bill has been cut down to the trifle of $14,000,000. Now let Mr. Cleveland cutit down still further with his veto machine. River improve ment is one thing , but highway robbery under the disguise of public improve ment is quite another. ANOTHKU candidate for governor has boon trotted out to show his pace. Now let the blankets bo taken oil' the rest if such there bo. Entries should be made promptly in order to Insure a good at tendance and lively interest in the com ing contest. KINGS AND QUIJKNS.

( / An Alabama physician has recently written a pamphlet declaring that "un less some sanitary reform is introduced Ilio negro race will begin at no distant day to rival the Indian race in its rauid extinction in this quarter of tlio world. " lie supports this statement with the vital statistics of one town , where he shows the death rate among the negroes to be nearly twice that among the whites , with the liabilities of the negro to pul monary and other diseases , and with the assertion that female diseases among that class nro interfering with the repro duction of tliul race. Facts like these are generally to be deduced'from almost any comparison ot the condition of u poor class with that ot the higher classes in wcaltli and education. There is need of sanitary reform among the poor every where , and , according to Dr. JL'ipton , tile southern negroes present a notable ex ample to thai ofleet. Hut in connection with this prophecy of extinction among the polorcd jn'opfo of tiic south it is necessary to recall the prediction - diction made by another stntiscian about a year : iio , that the fecundity of the colored race is such that by the end of the next century wo might expect them to have crowded the Caucasians out of this country and to have established a black republic. It will bo seen that tlm dangers agitated by those two alarmists nro exactly the opposite of each other. Ono says that the negroes are going to die out ; the other tells us that they are goinir to multiply and crowd out the whites. The meek colored man certainly will not bo ublo to accomplish both these contradictory feats ; and the probability is tli.it the average between those two opposing viowa will be found tobo prottv nearly correct. In short , if the negro Is given the chances of education and labor that the American citizens are entitled to he will neither die out himself nor ciowd out the whites , but will learn to be an in dustrious , useful and frugal citizen.
