It is intimated that Mr., Bayard started into the controversy with the cart before the horse, and is now endeavoring to get into proper diplomatic shape. This would be qute in consonance with the general course of the Delaware states- man in his present position. A petition for the abatement of the slanghter house nuisance was presented to the last council from a number of oitizens. The request was a timely and an important one. Omaba is too lurge & soity to be subjected to stenches from such institutions in the mudst of a thickl) settled section. Quite apart from the guestion of health the damage done to Jproperty is large. Slaughter houses, Mortilizing works and all stench pro “daeing institutions should be: compelled a good distance outside the Y to remove seity limits. Tuk national association of American bankers assembled in Boston on Wednes day, and the vresident reported that thore had been during the past year an increaso in the membership of about one hundred, the total now being 1,466. 'he proceedings of the first day consisted largely of a discussion of the silver ques- | “tion, Lo wiiich contributions were made . by ex-Soeretary of the T'reasury Hugh MoCuliough, who adyocated a suspen alon of the coinage of silver for an in- S etinite period, and by Mr. Horton of % S0nio, who took the position that the re | Stepation of silver to 1ts former prestige L Wwas necessary to thoe pross ion of our ilization, and that it is peculiavily the inee of the United States to cffect restoration. ‘The probable action of association on this subject was not oshadowed, but the fact that it wa on lirst consideration at the very out- shaws that it is regacdod as the mat- of supreme importance in the svan- Hedden's Rtetirement The resignation of Collector Hedden, of New York, at the request of the presi dent, and the appontment to the posi tion of Danicl Magone, an Ogdensburgh politician_ who has been one of Mr Cleveland’s most ardent and noisy sup. porters, is a circumstance of more than ocal significance. The New York cus tom house is the most extensive business cstab cnt under the government and ¢ twenty years it has been also most important polit eall n the appointment of Hedden sition was thought by all persons, except the New York mugwumps, to be onc of the 1ost serious mistakes of the administration | first, beeause Hedden had been a failure 1 o business man and had never shown any exceutive ability; and sccondly, be cause being a man of no political ex perience he was very sure to become a plastic instrument in the hands of somc politician of greater force and sagacity But at the time of the appointment Mr Cleveland was fresh in his work of re form. Ile was affecting a great distaste for the regular politicians, and the mug: wump influence was in the ascend ant. There were several prominent pol iticians, among tnem the late HubertO. Thompson, who wonld have liked the of- fice, and for a time the pressure upon Mr. Cleveland from these sources was so great as to seriously annoy and perplex him. Hedden was a demoerat without any obnoxious factional afliliations, und he was algo in need of a lift financially. He was taken as n compromise, to the o disgust of four-fifths of the dewoc racy of New York. Hedden failed just where it was ex- pected he would His administration has been the very worst in the history of the New York custom house, and he had become the factotum of a few politicians. The conduct of the service was left al- most wholly o subordinates, between whom there were continual friction and controversy, while the custom house was rapidly returning to its former condition as a formidable political machine, where ciyil seryice reform was regurded as a reproach and as far as possible ignored. There was quite suflicient in this state of afluirs to justify the president in eall ing for the resignation of the col- lector, but it is piausibly suggested that Mr. Cleveland bad a much stronger motive impelling him to this course. It appears that since Governor Hill became an acknowledged aspirant for the p deney he bas had no more outspoken supporter of hisambition than Mr. Ied- den, and this exhibition of ingratitude, if not of outright pertidy, quite naturally aroused the indignation of Mr, Cleveland. On the ground of his unquestioned in- efliciency and of his violation of the let- ter and spirit of the civil service law, Hedden was ked to resign, but the real purpose is believed to have becn to get rid of a friend of Hill who was in a position to be of great service to tho as- piring governor, There 13 undoubtedly warrant for this Lelief m the appointment of Magone, which is 2 clear case of rewarding yoli eal service, new collector having been and being still a devoted adherent of the president. The fact that Mr. Cleveland went away from New York city to find a man who could meet hi requirements as the collector at that port 15t plional, President G field having set the excmple in the case ol Judge Robertson, though under quite rent circumstances, but it is signili as indicating that the president has very little confidence in the loyalty of the leading New York politicians, and in this he 1s probably justified. The mat- ter is highly interesting as one move in the quiet but very earnest game playing between Clevelana and Hill for the con- trol of the Now York delegation in the next national democratic convention. Mr. Tilden's Will. Nothing in Mr. Tilden’s history was more worthy of fame than the disposition which he made of his immense fort 3 Three years before his doath he drew the will whose contents are now made pub lie. Three men only were taken into his confidence and these three named as trustees of th st estate whieh the dead statesman leaves to be devoted to the pur poses of public benefit. Mr. Tilden’s wealth will not fall below £5,000,000, by far the greatest part of which is safely invested in interest bear ing securitics, Of this amount a quarf is distributed among surviving relutives for their hife use, the princi to revert to the estate at their death. The entire remainder is left to throe trustees to be devoted to public uses, mcluding a free hbrary in the town of his birth and an- other in Yonkers where he died. Fully four millions are given for bestowal on jeots not specified by the terms of the Such a publie spirited benefaction is e. Only one other of the kind is recorded in America within the past te: years, when John C. Green, the merchant prince of New York, left $3,000,000 to trustees with no limitations on its distribution. Mr. ‘Tilden’s bequests will doubtless be directed in channels suggested by him before his death, and it is intimated that a free public library for New York city will probably be se- lected as the most fitting public mony ment of the dead millionaire. Such library New York does not possess. ‘Il Astor hibrary is restricted to visitors who can obtain cards of iutroduction, 1lhe Lenox library is practically inaccessible, ‘The Mercantile ean be used only by sub scribers, A free publie library like the great Boston hbrary would be a benef: tion greatly appreciated by the intelli- gent and a perpetual monument to the memory of its donor.
