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 he exhibited. His spocch, always finished and perfect in overy direction, was ever distinctively his own. It was always alive with the fire of his own genius—a fire which burn- ed ever 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 1834, after completing the course in the Cambridge law school. The first stage of the struggle, between the forces of liberty and slavery was already hegun, and it was inevitable that a young man like Phillips,of full physical and spiritaal health, should take part in that strug- gle Garrison, by his clear and courageous declaration of principles, had made that strugglo inevitable; and such was his nature, such the character of this advo- cacy that it must be fought to the end. The principles he enunciated were primal to our form of government; thoy struck deep to the foundations of republican society In 1835, when twenty-four years old, Phillips witnessed a spectacle which stirred him to tho deepest depths, and moved a noble nature profoundly and lastingly. Tt was that of ‘‘the broadcloth mob”—a mob of men 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, Maria Waeston Chapman, than whom America never knew a better trained, a more cul- tivated and earnest woman, with nobler manners, with a larger heart, or richer in sowing common sense; and behind her Phillips saw a band of women of like order, delicately born and bred, who could teach men what courage and what strength belief in principle can impart to the weak. Phillips saw the face of this woman as she walked out of the hall, THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1884 in the grace that comes from the apt in- trcduction of them. No speaker was more welcome every- wheroe than he, and when the storm of the anti-slavery agitation had spent itself, no name was so sure as his to draw out the population of the towns and villages of New England and the west. In New York and Boston he was always sure of acrowded house, and he was always ready to speak for any cause he held dear, and more especially for temperance and the rights of women, He did not lecture often on topics of art from his main environs, with the exception of his lectures “‘On the Lost Arts,” and Tous- saint L’ COverture, which he gave east and west an immense number of times, Of late years he has but rarely appeared in public. His last—and, indeed his first—appearance in Omaha was some five or six years ago, at the Academy of Music. Tue lynching of murderers has been a very frequent occurrence in Colorado of late, and this method of dealing out sure and swift justice will continue as long as thé technicalities of the law afford to as- sassing 8o many loopholes through which to escape. The Denver Zribunc says that **until Colorado undulges in a few legal hangings, Judge Lynch will reign, aterror to evil-doers. * * * Judge Lynch is a lawless protest against the lawlessness of courts. If men.were hung for murder—if evidence were worth as much as legal technicalities —there would be no lynching. A lynching is a con- demnation of courts, 1t is an expression of doubt of their desire and ability to administer justice, In countries where there are no courts, men resort to lynch- ing. In places where the courts are val- ueless it is quite as common to regard them as non-existent and act according- ly. Whero murder is punished by the proper authorities, there will be no need of the puniuhm'um of murderers by the improper authoritice,” The chief officers of the law in Ne- braska might take a lesson from Colora- do. Here in Nebraska a legal execution for murder has gone out of fashion, Two convicted murderers, sentenced to death, where the mayor had told her he had no power to protect heror her society. From that day to this the cause of the rights of women held 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 made his first distinguished mark as an orator, and set his hand to the plow, from which he never looked back. Rev. Elijah P. Lovejoy, the edi- tor of an anti-slavery newspaper at Alton, 1L, had been killed by a mob while striving to save his press and office from its fury., A native of New England, and a man of character and wealth, his death profoundly moved the friends of the slavery cause. Here in Boston it was felt that the Alton mob was in- spired by the same spirit which had animated the *‘broadcloth mob.” Tho weeting in Boston, under crafty leadership, promised to display a cowardly conservatism, when Wendell Phillips, in a fiery speech, yet manly and recently had their sentence commuted to lifs imprisonment. and a third will prob- ably receive the same punishment, after he has been tried, convicted and sen- tenced to death two or three 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 supremo court and the governor, —_—— Tue senatorial contest in Kentucky is still in progress, but it is predicted that it will virtually be ended to-night, Itis now generally believed that Carlisle will be nominated. At the caucus on Satur- day night a resolution was adopted pro- viding that the hindmost candidate should be dropped on the even ballot after the third one taken on Monday unight. 1t is said thatat least ten of the twenty-two Sweeney men are in favor of Carlisle, and that the others are so di- vided between Williams and Blackburn logical, took it out of the hands of the souls who held the clotbes of the mar- tyrs and were consenting to their death, After this Phillips looked not back. He gave up his commission as a lawyer; for he could no longer hold himself bound to obey a constitution which protected the holder of slaves in rights which he had determined never to recognize and utter- ly to destroy. He made at once a sacri- fico such as fow young men had ever made, Along with well breeding and fortune, he 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 he turned his back, He saw but a grim prospect, Not that, like Garrison, he saw starvation staring him in the face; for all his material wants were secure from peril; but everything that makes life dear to social man was on, the hazard of the edge he cast, when he re- signed his position at the bar and joined the an very cause. Wgq cannot to- day imagine the social pressure brought to bear on thoso who took up the anti- slavery causo in earnest—the doors once gladly opened now shut in their faces, the averted glances in the street, the open cuts from old-time friends, But all these Phillips bore with light hearted cheerfulness and sweetness. From that time, giving up all other employment, he devoted himself with un- flinching energy and with infinite resource to the advocacy of the anti- ulavery cause, Ho was its chosen spokes- man and orator. The charms of his speech wore 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 & command of English that betokened acquaintance with the best works of overy master. Fairly may it be questioned whether there has ever 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 expenses, He never used notes, never wrote out his speeches beforehand, His manner was geave and dignified; his gestures wore few, and seemed always struck out from the fire of the moment. His speech be. gan with a logical and lawyer-like setting out of his subject, with great clearness of argument; and when he went off now aud then to meet an interruption, to answer & question, to parry a thrust of insult, he [quickly returned to beat out the irou on his auvil. He had not Mr. Lincoln's gift of story telling, yet he knew well the charm of aucedote, of ilustrations from history #ud biography, and his speech was rich that a compromise man will have to be agreed upon, and that that man is Car- lisle. It 1s claimed that he will receive 70 votes on the final ballot, 61 being nec- essary to a choice. Sweeney, who has held the balance of power until the last two or three days, has left Frankfort in despair, Tue tarifl disoussion begins to-day, the speeches to be 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 be made, Chemicals will have a few exceptions; tobacco none; earthenware none; sugars will be reduced; liquors remain un- touched; provisions will have numerous exceptions; silks will not be touched; textilo fabrics are to bo cut twenty per cent; books and papers will be reduced; hemp, jute, and flax will receive slight reductions; lumber is to be revised. This bill has so many exceptions that when it goes through the congressional mill it will not be recognized by its au- thor, owing to the many changes that will have been made init. Other bills will prebably be introduced, the tendency of congress being toward taviff reform, Tux bill for the forfeiture of the Tex- as Pacific land grant having passed the house by a vote of 259 to 1, the senate cannot do otherwiso than concur. The mombers of the senate public lands com- mittee, to which this bill will go, is com- posed of Mr, Plumb, of Kansas; Mr, Hill, of Colorado; Mr. Blair, of New Hampshire; Mr. Van Wyck, of Nobras- ka; Mr, Dolph, of Oregon; Mr, Walker, of Arkansas; Mr. Morgan, of Alabama; Mr. Blater, of Oregon, and Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, The people will look to this committee for prompt action, in recommending the concuryence of the senate, so that 15,000,000 acres of land belonging to the publie domain shall be thrown open to settlement, — Carraiy Mary A, Muier has at last triumphed. She has captured Secrotary Folger, who says he knows of no good reason why she or any other woman may not, if *skilled, honest, intelligent, hardy and prudent enough,” commadd a steam vessel and navigate it. In other words, he says she can paddle her own canoe if she wants to and is able to dc it, and he has accordingly ordered the steamboat inapectors to examine her as to capacity, and if found capable to give her a liconse, ——— Tue high license system, which has proved a sucoess in Nebraska, is meeting with favorable consideration in other states. It has been adopted in Missouri, Tllinois and Ohio, although the license in those states is only about half what it is in Nebraska., A bill is now being pre- pared to be submitted to the New York legislature restricting the number of licenses to one for every 500 of the pop- ulation. The annual tax on malt liquor sellers, which is only $30, is to be raised to $250, while the retailers of spirits, who now pay only €75, are to be taxed 8600. A VETERAN JOURNALIST. Dr. Talmage delivered the discourse at tho funeral of Dr. Wood, the veteran journalist of forty years' service, who lost his life at & Now York dock the oth- er night. It was in the performance of his duty that Wood fell. Says Dr. Tal- mage: *“Weare all asked, at the arrival of the dreadful news of his death, What could he have been doing along the wharvos of the North river at half-past twelve at night when he mado that mis- step. 1t was not until yesterday, and after the first shock of the tidings had been passed, that his wife bethought hersolf of the fact that he had projected for himself what he thought mightbe an interesting and suggestive article, to be entitled, ‘Midnight on the wharves of Now York."” She advised him of the peril of that attempt, with his defective sight, in that God for- saken region, and urged him to delegate some ene else for the task. He said, ‘No, I must see them myself, and have the lnst_degren of accuracy of descrip- tion,” Through that consecration to his work came that casualty that has left his home desolate.” We stand at the casket, of a martyr of American journalism, con- tinued Dr. Talmage: So closes a life in that precarious pro feusion, the struggles, and hardships and exposures of which few appreciate. All of us want the news, and the newest news, and that news placed in the best shape. Yet how few realize what toils and fatigues every issue of every morn- ing and evening nowspaper represents! The senseless clamor of the public for cheaper and cheaper newspapers, until we got what is equal to a book or small library in one newspaper for two or three cents, may be great sport for us and may take no more from the stockholders of a newspaper than they can sparo without any serious inconvenience, but thedemand 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 and the bread tray of the men who write three-fourths of the reading matter of our morning and evening uUewspapers. With the vast majority of journalists it is & hand to hand fight for bread, and nothing over for a time of sickness and old age. Toilof hand and foot in this country often have lowest compensation, but still more inadequately paid is the toil of brain. When a pen, for thirty years driven at the top of its speed across 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 its last period, it is to bo congratulated above all the pens that continue their weary flight.” 1 A New Jersey editor, after giving Roscoe Conkling a very flattering puff, wrote to that gentleman suggesting that it only needed the influence of Mr. Conkling to secure the nomination of Arthur. Mr. Conkling replied: “‘When the Persian embassy was about to take leave of the Grecian court, once in olden time, they asked and received somo message from each of thepersonages present. When the turn of Zeno came he said: ‘Tell your master that you saw a gray-haired old man in Athens who knew enough to hold his tongue.’ Please ascribe to my admiration for Zeno and his teachings my silence touching your forecast of my action in the politics of the future,” A piu. has been introduced in the Wyoming legislature to tax bachelors, lawyers and ‘‘other animals.” It was probably inspired by women who are in need of good husbands, and who very likely think it a shame that they should sufler while so many rich bachelors are lying around loose in that territory. The bill is a good one and ought to pass. To up Evening Post, of New York, tho whole exhibition which Keifer made of himself the other day in the arraign- ment of Boynton is inexplicable, *“‘except on the ground that Keifer is either aman of vory dull perceptive faculties, or else he is determined to make the republicans suffer as much as possible for their sup- port of him,” — Sriecuer and Perryman are rival claimants to the chiefship of the Creek nation, Spiecher is in Washington try- ing his best to save his case, but meanf while two special agents of the Interior department, appointed to investigate the rival claims, have reported in Perryman’s favor, Nonopy wants to serve on the Keifer- Boynton committee, Besides that the investigation will be disagrecable, it is difficult to see how the truth can be reached, since Keifer says that Boynton’s attempt to corrunt him was made in a room where no others were present, POLITICAL NOTES, General Logan's presidential boom is slowly 1evolviug on its own axis.
