Tilden, I'ie country has lost another citizen eminent 1n its polities, and the dewmo- | party of its distin- guished and honored leaders, Samuel J. Tilden, whose death occurred Wedne day at Graystone, and a record 1in detail of whose career is elsewhere given, had for fifteen year in our national politics, enjoy and respect of the | that it has been v other 1 to do, and generous mos of «m of his countrymen generall wlities in which he had no superior his compeers, Althongh for number of years in feehle heaith, there had been no very recent mtimation that Mr. Tilden’s condition had grown move sevious than it had been reported to be a dozen times within half as many years, and the announcement of his death will therefore eause a shock of surprise to the country and a widespread feeling of regrot. Any immediate and hastily prepa estimate of the character of a wan whose political career was so remarkable and eventful as that of Samuel J. Tilden must necessarily be defective, and there are specinl and obvious difliculties conuncted with such a task in the case of Mr. Til- den, The ono great antene it carcer which makes it wholly exceptional in the country’s history presents so many fea- tures that assert their influence on the judgment, thatitis not an easy matter to «t once give ench its just weight and significance, and by a process of judicial separation, comparison and measure- ment reach a verdiet both thorough and o ¢ qust. There will of necessity be de divergence of opinion regarding the dewd politician, but the time is cer- tainly come when there can be no fur. ther objeet, if there ever existed an ob- jeet, in withholding from him anything thut is justly hisdue or denying any of the merits or worthy qualilications to which his eareer bears testimony. Those who are disposed to adhero will tainly not find the career and character of Mr, Til- den a barren or unfruitful theme. The first conspicuously great public work of his life was the overturow of the Tweed | ring, and heentered upon and pursued that task with the persistence and zeal of o sincero reformer. It wonld not Le impossible, perhaps, to find an impelling motive and ulterior aim in connection with this work not wholly unsclfish in their nature, but it is more in the line of a just judgment to belie that he was actuated in this matter solely by the desire to rid the people of a monster vampire that had been for years wercilessly preying upon them, and which had grown so strong and potent and firmly fixed that it believed itself secure against defeat and overthrow. It required a man of great courage and un- limited faith in the people to grapple this ginnt of robhery and debauchery, and in essaying the task and successfully carry- ing it out, Mr., Tilden demonstrated that lie was possessed of a quality which at the time commended him to a large por- tion of hiscountrymen asa leader worthy of their highest confidence. As the gov- crnor of New York he instituted reforms whieh were m the interest of the people, and when in 1876 he was made the stand- ard bearer of the demodracy and pro- cluimed as the 1deal retorm statesman and leader, he did not wear the titic un- worthily, The memorable presidential contest of 1876, the culmination of which was one of the supreme tests of our re- publican system, brought out to its fuliest development the great skill and cavacity of Mr. Tilden as a po- litical organizer, The “still hunt’’ meth- ods which he had successfully employed in New York were brought into miore general requisition in this campaign, and it was at this time that the “literary burean” found its most effective, if not its very first 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 moth- ods of political warfare were continually showing themselyes on every hund in ey, cction of the country. He made some mistakes, he yielded in one or two vital instances to injudicious adyisers, he dissipated efforts In some directions that employed elsewhore might have been of great service to him; but on the whole he conducted his eampaign with signal skill and diseretion, justifymg all that had been elaimed for him as a politician of unsurpassed ability and almost unlim- ited resources, Of course, Mr, Tilden believed always, as the great majority of lus party still be- lieve, that he was fairly eleoted to the presidency, and that the decision which deprived lim of that position w un- just and fraudulent. This is not the place to revive or review that contro- versy. Happily the wisdom of the peo- 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 even the perma- nence, of the union, and that scttlement was penceably acquiesced in by the peo- ple. There were at least two phases of Mr. Tilden’s eharacter shown in connec- tion with this extraordinary event which ware in such broad contrast as to require areference. One was his employment of the corruption ani trickery of the yn- serupulous politician, in the effort to se- cure the returns of Oregon, which was the supremely dishonest and discredit- able act of his career, and the other was his patriotic refusal to listen for an in- stant to the revolutionary demand of a large element of his party that he should resist the decision of the electoral com- mission. This refusal of Mr. Tilden to one most past been a command 2 the cor cof f democracy Teo on possessing also a sure wnon, ‘ of patriotism, | was countenance any suggestion or effort on the part of his hot-headed and reckless supporters caused him to be widely denounced by this class as a coward, who had thus proclaimed bimself unfit to be the executive of a great nation or the leader of a party, but it is to the honorof My, Tilden's memory that he was unmoved by appeal, bluster or abuse. It was an opportunity which @ man of inordinate ambition, reckless of the peace and welfare of his country— o man with the instinct“to rule or ruin-- wonld have taken advantage of. There was no demand for great combative cour- age. A word from Mr. Tilden 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 per- sonal danger or sacrifice on his part. But there was a demund for the courage and that, let it be said in justice, Mr. Tilden possessed, In his retirement since that memo epoch Mr. Tilden never lost inte political affairs, and his counsel was con- tinually sought by the democratic lead His most important recent public utteranc was his letter to Speak er Carlisle, shortly after the seml of , in which he 1 the great and pressing import ance of strengthening the coast defenses | ot inereasing the navy.

Take him for all in all, Samuel J.

Tho Hon, George K. Hoar and Ingalls, of Kunsas, Dolph and Miteheil, of Oregon, and Spooner, of Wisconsin, all of whom have their fingers up to the joints in corporation pic, were glad cnough to assist at the obsequies. Mr. Beek’s bill came back from the judi- Iy committee to he sure as Mr. Ed- munds promised it would, but so amended that it was promptly dropped amid general laughter, e of the United States has de- public fce and advocacy ition interests are not incon- But, after all, the senate will not have the deciding vote upon the ques- tion. That will bo east in legislative halls by joint sessions convened to select representatives who will fearlessly and honestly serve their constituents. What- ever may be thought of the possibility combining the funetions of railroad attor- neys and national senators in Washing- ton, common sense people not skilled in hair-slitting technicalities will refuse to be converted to the senatorial view. No man can scrve two masters. T'he interests of the corporations and the vablic clash at so many points which leg- islation is catled upon to clear away that honest allegianee to both is impossible. A railroad attorney conscientiously work- ing for his clients under a retainer and faithfully detending the interests of the public under his oath is an impossibility. — of sistent. They Have Had Their Day, A paper in the Elkhorn Valley re- joices over the failure of congress to agree upon the bills to repeal the pre- emption and timber eulture acts, because such repeal, as it asserts, would work se- rious damage to the interests of Ne- braska, In what way? The land Tews for whose repeal hundreds of thousands of laboring men and farmers have petitioned, have operated for the past five years asa bar to honest settlement, and an obstruction to the development of the wi Eight out, of every ten precmption filings have either been fraudulently mwade or sc- cured with the object of transfer and speenlation. By far the largest p:ovortion of those in which the law has been fairly complied with are owned by men of ample means who have soid farms elsewero to realize on the advance of land which under the law they wero able to secure from the government at a dollar and aquarter an acre. Nebraska is filled with bonestly proved up preemptions whose possessors took them up not to at- n needed homes but to make a turn on the real estate market. Hundreds 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 first claimant in many s moved further west fo iile again and grow up with the counti The pre- emption Jaw has been u hot bed of specu- lntion and fraud. So far from settling up the country rapidly, it has withdrawn lurge areas from homestead entry requir- ing five years' residence and cultivation, and turned them over to mnon-residents and eastern money lende Every county in the state affords ample proof of the statement, Six months’ living on a claim followed by its sale and abaudon-, ment is of little practical benefit to any community. The timber culture law has been a farce for years. It has operated as an cight years' lease of 160 acres of land, tax tree, at a total cost ot fifteen dollars. Not one timber claim in five of late years has been proved up on by the original entrymen. 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 been taken advantage of by foreign capitalists until 40,000,000 acres of governmeut land are now controlled by lords, dukes and other wealthy nabobs across the water. How much advantage the country has reaped from this kind of immigration a large sized telescope would fail to dis- cover. The pre-emption and timber cul- ture laws have had their day. The west knows it as well as the land office, But the homestead law, which gives a farm free of cost to every poor man who will reside on it five years will still remain on the statute books. Residenco and improvement are what bwld up farming communities as they do cities and towns. One well cuttivated homesteaa is worth, so tar as the state 1s concerned, a thousand pre-emptions held for speculation by non resident ¢ al- ist e The Business Situation, Midsummer-heat is having its usual effect upon the volume of trade, but there is a steady improvement over last year and an increasing feeling of cheerfulness among merchants and wanufacturers in surveying the situation. Speoculation is chiefly concerning itself with the produce market, while in other iines prices are steady and trading conservative. Wheat shows no notewo:rthy change since last advices.
