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

tation tlio members of the IIOUHU passively

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

( 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

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. "

ment is quite another.

hearing the story concluded ho could ac
complish a similar feat , and "blowing
up" a couple of hog bladders , started tea
a creek near by , to make the trial. Mr.
Baker , who was a few years older than
young Grant , and on quite familiar terms
with him , found out his boyish project
and went nlomj to watch him make the
experiment. Grant tied a bladder to
each foot anil started across tins stream ,
but while his feet remained on the sur
face , his head went down. The current
carried him into deep water and the
future great general was ne.-ir gasping hi.s
last , when Mr. linker reached lor him
and drew him ashore.

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.
