llcddon's lletlrcmont. .
The resignation of Collector Hcdden ,
of New Yotk , at the request of the pros ! *
dent , nnd the appointment to the posi
tion of Daniel Mngonc ( an Ogdensbtirgh
politician who has been one of Mr.
Cleveland's most ardent ami no'ify sup
porters , is n circumstance of more than
local significance. The New York cus
tom house is the most cxlensivo business
establishment under the government ,
and for niilto twenty years it has been
also pel-imp * the most Important polit
ically. Tor Ihat reason the appointment
of Hrddon to the position was thought
I > V all persons , except the New York
mugwumps , to be one of the most
serious mistakes of the ndminibtration
lir t , because Ilcddun had been n failure
as n business man and had never shown
any executive ability ; nnd secondly , bo-
cnuso being a man of no political ex
perience ho was very sure lo become a
plaslic instrument in the hands of home
politician of grealcr force and sagacity.
Hut at the time of the appointment Mr.
Cleveland was fresh in his work of re
form , lie was all'ecling n great distnslo
for Ihe regular politicians , and the mug
wump iiilluonco was in the ascend
ant. There were several prominent pol
iticians , among tiicm tlic late UuberlO.
Thompson , who would have liked the of
fice , and for n time the pressure upon Mr.
Cleveland from llicso sources was so
great as to seriously annoy and perplex
him. lledden was a democrat without
any obnoxious factional atlilialions , and
hownsalfoin need of a lift financially ,
lie was taken as a compromise , to the
gieat disgust of four-ifI ( hs of the democ
racy of New York.
Ifcdden failed jtibt where it was ex
pected he would. His administration
has been the very worst in the history of
the New York custom house , and ho had
become the taelotum of a few politicians.
'The conduct of Ilio service was Icfl al
most wholly to subordinates , between
whom there wwc continual friction and
controversy , while the custom house was
rapidly returning to its former condition
as a formidable political machine , where
civil service reform was regarded as a
reproach nnd as far as possible ignored.
There was quite sulHcient in this state of
atlairs to justify the president in call
ing for the resignation of tlic col
lector , but it is plausibly suggested
that Mr. Cleveland had n much stronger
motive impelling him to this cour&e. It
appears that since Governor Hill became
an acknowledged aspirant for the presi
dency ho has had no more outspoken
supporter of tils ambition than Mr. Red
den , and this exhibition of ingratitude , if
not of outright pertldy , quite naturally
aroused the indignation of Mr. Cleveland.
On the ground of his unquestioned in
efficiency and of his violation of the lei-
lor and spirit of the civil service law ,
lledden was asked to resign , but the
real purpose is believed to have been to
get rid of a friend of Hill who wa ° in a
position to be of great service to the as
piring governor.
There is undoubtedly warrant for this
belief m tlio aupolntmcut of Mngonc ,
which is a clear case of rewarding politi
cal service , the now collcclor havius ;
been and being still a devoteif adherent
of the president. The fact that Mr.
Cleveland went away from New York
city to find a man who could meet his
requirements as the collector at that port
is not exceptional , President Gar-
lield having set Iho example in Ihc cahO
of Judge Kobertson , though under quite
different circurostauccs , bul it is signifi
cant as indicating that the president has
very little confidence in the loyalty of the
leading New York polilicians , and in
this he is probably juslilied. The mat
ter is highly intercsling as one move in
the quiet but very earnest game playing
between Cleveland nnd Hill for the con
trol of the Now York delegation in the
next national democratic convention.
Mr. Tlldcn'8 Will.
Nothing : in Mr. Tihleii's history was
more worthy of fame than the disposition
which he made of his immen&e fortune.
Three years before lils dcatii lie drew the
will whoso contents are now made pub
lic. Three men only were taken into his
confidence and these three are named as
trustees of tlio vast estate which the dead
statesman leaves to be devoted to the
purposes of public benefit.
Mr. Tilden'fi wealth will not fall below
50,000,000 , by far the greatest part of
which is safely invested in interest bear
ing securities. Of this amount a quarter
is distributed among surviving relatives
for their life use , the principal to revert
to the estulij at their death. The entire
remainder is left to throe trustees to bo
devoted to public uses , including a free
library in the town of his birth and an
other in Youkers where ho died. Fully
four millions are given for bestowal on
objects not specified by the terms of the
will.
will.Such
Such n public * spirited benefaction is
rare. Only one other of Ihe kind IB
recorded in America within the past ten
years , when John C. Green , the merchant
prince of Now York , loft $3,000,000 , , to
trustees with no limitations on it-
distribution. Mr. Tilden's bequests
will doubtless bo dirccled in channel :
suggested by him before his death , and
it is intimated that a free public librar.v
for Now York city will probably be se
lected as the most filling public monument
ment of the dead millionaire. Such : i
library Now York does not possess. The
Astor library is restricted to visitors whc
can obtain cards of introduction. Ihc
Lenox library is practically inaccessible ,
The Mercantile can bo used only by sub
scribers. A free public library like the
great Hoston library would bo a bcnofac'
lion greatly appreciated by the inlolll
gent and a pcrpclual monument to the
memory of its donor.
Tlui Irish Skeleton.
The usual banquet given by the LorJ
Alayor of London to her majesty's minis
ters took place on Wednesday at the
Mansion House. Our special cablegrams
give a detailed description of the afl'a'r ,
which was voted a success so far M thu
display of wealth and the atlond.inco ol
titled lords and ladies could make it ,
There was the usual elegant repast , attended -
tended by the choicest vintage of wines
and followed by speeches from the mem
bers of the government upon topics of
national policy , Interest ccnterod ,
as it always does on surd
an occasion , upon the svcccti
of the prime mtnietnr. Lord
Salisbury was expected to follow
in the footsteps of his old colleague , Dis
raeli , who eight years ago that Uol of to
ryism leaning over the * amo board hurled
threats of .Iliigoiiui in ) > ? lshud ! period :
at Russian pretensions. A hundred mom-
bcrs of the premier's league looked for
ward to n full statement from the tory
leader of the policy which ho proposed
to adopt hi relation to Ireland's ' clam to
self government.
Lord Salisbury , however , seems to have
disappointed expectations. It was only
after urging Ihat he look up the Irish
question at all , and ho hud it down as
quickly as possible.
"The old skeleton is still at all the
political feast ? , " said his lordship. "The
Mid events of the last few days demon-
slralo that Ireland is not a homogeneous
country. As to what Is to bo done , it is
impossible to say now , more than the
first duly of the government will bo to
devote its whole energy to free thu loyal
people of Ireland from illegal constraints
and restraints. Kvcry remedy must be
exhausted to allow the Irish people to
earn tbcir own bread unmolcslcd. The
advantage of this government is that wo
represent the mandate of the people
against separation. The people have
Irrevocably so decided. Their motlo is
"Social Order in Ireland. " To maintain
thai is our primary duty. I cannot now
give details of the methods wo siuill pur
sue nor of the measures wo shall enact
in fulfilling this duty. Wo shall find our
solid support in the representatives which
your London , my lord mayor , and its su
burbs have sent to parliament. "
Lord Salisbury was not felicitous in his
allusion to the "skeleton at the feast. " It
was a suggestive mollo which Iho an
cients hung over that emblem of mortality -
tality , "Hemembor You Must Die. " The
Irish skeleton to which the marquis re
ferred in hushed tones amid the clink of
lory wine glasses at the Mansion House
banquet bears the same warning to the
Salisbury ministry. "Tho Gladstone gov
ernment has gone , split on tlio rock of attempted -
tempted Irish reform. Homcmbcr you ,
too , a tory administration , must die. "
The hint of coming coercion which the
prime minister gave amid Iho meaning
less platitudes of his speech only cm-
phasiy.es tlio warning. The present Eng
lish ministry is a rope of sanu. Its con
tinued existence depends solely upon
liberal support. That support is unalter
ably opposed to coercion and plcdj'ed to
liberal concessions in Iho line of homo
rule. The moment it is alienated that
moment the tory ministry must go under.
The warning of the skeleton will ring
daily in the cars of Lord Salisbury and
his ascociatcs in Downing slrcct.
It may not bo long before the porten
tous warning will reach its fulfilment.
AVImt May Bo Done.
The daily reports most of them un
doubtedly sensational of unusual activ
ity in military and naval circles , and of
the movement of troops whoso conjec
tured destination is the Mexican frontier ,
is very likely to mislead the uninformed
public into the notion that the only meas
ure necessary to the opening of hostili
ties with Mexico is a proclamation of the
president declaring war. It is very likely
that most of the voting men who are cx-
hibiling such a patriotic readiness to en
roll themselves to fight Mexico , cnterlain
( he idea that all that stands between
them and the''pomp nnd circumstance of
glorious war" is tlic word of Mr. Cleve
land to "go in. " Hut tlio president has
uo power to utter that word without the
authority of congress. The constitution
of the. United Stales confers upon con
gress alone Iho power to declare war , and
any action on the part of the president
having the character or eflectof a declar
ation of war would be a usurpation of
the power reposed by the funda
mental law exclusively in the
hands of congress , for which ho would
be subject to Impeachment. In the pres
ent issue with Mexcio , should all efforts
for a .settlement by diplomacy fail and
the president bo convinced that the rights
of American citizens and the dignity and
just claims of the government demanded
recourse to military measures for
securing a settlement , tiis first
duty would be to convene con
gress in extra session and to lav
the whole subject before them. In the
meanwhile , as a means of security
against invasion , ho could concentrate
any portion or tlic whole of the army of
the United States on the Mexican fron
tier , occupying -such strategic positions
us , should bo deemed best , but carefully
avoiding any overt act of hostility. Ho
coulu not , without the authority of con
gress , call to the aid of the federal forces
the militia of any stale , nor accept any
tender of volunteers to bo equipped nnd
paid out of the public treasury ,
nor authorize any extraordinary
expenditure for mililary purposes.
In the event , however , of an
invasion becoming so formidable that it
could not be ntpcllod by the federal
forces , the president may undoubtedly
accept the co-operation of the militia , the
state or stales from which it is drawn
bearing till the obligations incurred by
the employment of this auxiliary force.
It is thus seen thateo far as relates to the
war power of 1 ho government , or more
properly the power to make war , the
authority of the president Is greatly re-
slriclcd , that function being with the
ropresenlatives of tlm people. What the
president may do ia simply to make pre
paration for a possible exigency and
provide such protection as lie can with
the means given him , pending the authority -
ity of congress to proceed bovond this.
In these days , however , congress can bo
convened in a very brief time , nnd as in
this matter it would assemble for a
specific purpose the character and de
mands of which would bo fully under
stood in advance of the official piesonta-
lion of the is uo , no nrnvy of invasion
could advance far before being con
fronted by n force fully able to repel
it. In the present aspects of
the situation , however , there ap
pears to bo no good reason why patriolio
ardor should he allowed to fuse to a white
heat. It is evident that war with Mexico
Is by no moans imminent , and should the
pending controvoisy lead to that ox-
ircmlly thnsn who are cacor for military
glory will bo allowed plenty of time to
get ready.

Cincinnati Commercial : The arrival
each morning at Dayton of a car-load of
Cincinnati beer , sixty barrels , to supply
the Soldiers' Home saloon , where no
nlher beverage than higer beer Is sold ,
has created decided interest there. The
husincns there has assumed enormous
proporlions , nnd yet not -rinss is sold to
any but inmates of the institution.
Three bartenders arc on duly ten hours ,
from the opening of the saloon in thu
morning until the closing at night , and
it is u rush with them until dark
A car-load of beer is received every
morning , nnd the ban ills removed at
once from refrigerator ears to ice collars
immediutly in the rear ot the barroom ,
and there one man is Ktationed all day
charged with the. duty of keeping three
bun els on lap at a time , and when once
the amber stream flows it does not cease to
How until the barrel is empty , the beer
being conducted by rubber lube into the
bar , where glasses are wailing for it , so
great is the patronage of the bar all day.
In the mornings there are often 1100 to 500
thirsty veterans wailing in line for the
saloon doors to bo opened. ChecKc are
sold at the door , 5 cents apiece , wix to
each applicant , and no more , and these
chocks arc good for one glass of beer.
Prolits on pretzels and sandwich sales
more than pay running expenses of thu
beer hall. Beer is delivered in car-load
lots at Ihe Homo at a fraction Uss than
eight dollars per barrel , and retailed at a
nickel.
An intoresling fact in connection with
the sale of beer at the home is tlio fact
slalcd by Dr. Palton , surgeon of the in-
slilulion. Ihat before the saloon was
opened ho had 300 patients per week , and
at the end of the three weeks' sale of
beer ho had only fifty patients. Beer as a
sanitary agent seems to be a Ib'st class
boniliconce.
Col. Thomas , treasurer of tlio Home ,
says the profits from the sale of boor wil.l
pay all police , fire department , and bos'-
jiital expenses , and clothe all of the 5,000 ,
inmates of the Central Branch. If the
saloon was open lo Ihe palronage of vis-
ilors the home would bo self-supporting.
Take Care of That Trunk of Mine.
Chicago Herald : "Talking aljout wo
men .ooking out for themselves and their
traps while traveling , " said a Kock Is
land baggageman , then pausing long
enough lo inquire if his listener had any
fine-cut about his clothes , "let mo tell you
a litllo slory about a passenger wo had
with us the other day from Joliul.
There's no express stuff on our
run , you know , and as Iho train-
boy keeps his trunk on our car we
usually let Iho door sland unlocked so
he can come in and out. AtJoliet this
passenger's trunk came aboard , properly
checked for Chicago. But she was then ;
to see it lifted in the car with her own
eyes , and to tell us that it was going to
Chicago , and that we should bo sure and
not carry it past the city. 1 told her not
to be skeercd thai wo wouldn't take her
trunk any farther than Chicago. As she
went away wo had a little laugh , and
concluded wewere done with her.
But not any. At the lin > t stop
this side of Joliet she came
running up on the platform to see
if her precious old box was being un
loaded. 'Take good care of that trunk of
mine'she sang out. as the bell ringed.
And this wasn't all. She hail evidently
seen the door of our car open the last
time she was out , and I hope to bo teles
coped by a Saratoger afore I git out of
these depot if I hain't telling the honest
truth when I say that between .Joliet and
Chicago she came into the baggage car
eleven times to sec if her old trunk
was pare anil sound. Yes , sir , cloven
times by actual count , and every
limo as she went out she'd saj' : 'Now ,
lake good euro of that trunk of mine. '
Did wu lake good care of it ? Should siy :
we did. Wo took care Jo throw it olT at
Chicago before the train had stopped ,
and made her light on a corner. But thu
old trunk was hardly jarred. There was
so much clothes line wrapped around it
thai you could of chopped the. trunlc
awnv' with an ax and the rope would
a-held whatever was inside and.ncvcr
dropped a single article. "
