Of all the distinguished men in civil
life in this country who have died during
the last few years Mr. Tilden was beyond
all doubt the greatest, and his death
indelibly impresses upon the American
people the shameless outrage that was
lerpetrated upon them by the installa
tion of Rutherford 15. Hayes in the
Presidency to which a clear majority of
the people had elected Samuel J. Tilden.
Other political crimes which have been
committed in this country in the past
may be forgotten, but the recollection
of the murder of popular sovereignty in
177 in the person of Tilden, will remain
forever.
Dr. James 1'. Ki.miiall, Director of
the Mint, lias completed his report on
the production of puld and silver in the
Unife States during the year 1S.. The
production r-f gold is Mtimated at 531,
'H).(;i0, an increase ot ?1,00,00) over
that t'f lss4. The production of silver
during lsr, 3 estimated at 000,000,
an increase of .' km i,f k i0 over 14.
Colorado still retains the front rank as
the largest producer of the precious
metaH, California holding the second
place. The most notable changes have
been in Montana and Idaho, the produc
tion having increasd from nine millions
in 11, to over thirteen millions in 185.
Nevada, New Mexico and Dakota still
hold their own, while the production of
Arizona ha.3 slightly decreased.
It is an old and true &aying that -'the
world is governed too much," and al
though the number of bills that passed
both houses during the recent session of
Congress was by no means large, the
enormous number of bills that whs intro
duced with the intent, of course, ot
enacting them into laws, illustrates the
truth of the adage. Thirteen thousand
two hundred and eight bills were offered
in both houses ten thousand and four
teen and two hundred aud fourteen joint
resolutions having been introduced into
the House, and two thousand eight
hundred find ninety-one together with
eighty-nine joint resolutions Into the
Senate. It is difficult to conceive the
purposes to which thUvast amount of
legislation related. )nl eleven hundred
and one bills pissed both houses and be
came laws. Of this total eight hundred
and six became laws with the Presiden
tial approval. One hundred and eighty
one, nearly all of which were private
pension bills, became laws by the Presi
dent failing either to approve or disap
prove them within ten days after their
presentation to him, and one hundred
and thirteen ware vetoed. The River
and Harbor bill proved to be, as it a) ways
has heretofore, a stumbling block to
many measures of important public con
cern, not from any lengthy discussion of
the bill itself, which scarcely ever takes
place, but owing to the fact that from
the beginning to the close of the session
each member was blindly intent upon
getting in his work in behalf of his own
favorite scheme of plunder, with a
criminal disregard to legislation touch
ing other important public interests
which were consequently permitted to
slumber and eventually to die. With
an inflexibly honest man like Cleveland
in the White House, no action of Con
gress would so effectually protect the
1'ublic treasury and block the game of
River and Haibor statesmen who, first,
last and all the time, are after appropri
ations for useless purposes, as the sub
mission to the people of the different
states of an amendment to the constitu.
t ion conferring power on the President
to disapprove of certain items in an ap
propriation bill while giving his sanction
o others. Why Congress refuses to do
so is incomprehensible to a man of
ordinary intelligence.
TrtE probability of a war between
thUronntry and Mexico on account of
the arrest, trial, conviction and sentence
to one year 's imprisonment of a citizen
of Texas by the name of A. K. Cutting,
which has been extensively discussed in
the newspapers during the last three
weeks, will, we think, disappear and
the dispute be amicably arranged by the
two governments. The case lies ir. a nut
ehell. Cutting edited a paper in El Pao
on the Texas side of the P.io Otande
and also a pajer in Taso del Xorte,
which is on the Mexican side of the
same river and directly opposite the
Texan town. A Mexican, named Med
ina, started an opposition paper in the
Mexican (iwn, wherenpon Cutting pub
lished a libellous attack upon him in his
Texas journal. The next day or so af
terwards hp crossed the river to the
Mexican town, and Medina had him ar
rested, alleging that Cutting's paper
containing the libel had lieen circulated
on Mexican soil, and that he was there
fore amenable to the law of Mexico as
well us the law of Texas. Mr. Payard.
f-v-fretary of S'ate, defies the validity of
the Mexican claim, and dt-uoiirid Cut

The colored Democrat, James C.
Matthews, of Albany. N. Y., who was
nominated by Mr. Cleveland early last
spring to be Recorder of Deeds for the
District of Columbia, in place of Fred
erick Douglass, and who was rejected
by a Republican Senate, not because he
was not entirely competent for the place,
but for the reason assigned by Mr.
Ingalls a Republican Senator from Kan
sas, that it would be "bad politics," to
confirm for the office a colored man who
is a Democrat, was on Monday last re
appointed nnd commissioned by the
President for the same office. Mr. Cleve
land, as Mrs. Grant once said about her
husband, is "a very stubborn man,'1 and
is determined to give Matthews, even
though he is as black as the ace of
spades, an opportunity of showing that
when he. the President, selected him as
Douglass' successor, he didn't make any
mistake. The country, we think, will
endorse this display of courage on the
part of the President.
The remains of the late Samuel J.
Tilden, after th6 conclusion of the relig
ious ceremonies at Graystone on Satur
day morning last, were taken by rail up
the Hudson River to New Lebanon, his
birthplace, Columbia county, where they
were interred in the afternoon. The
President went from Washington to
Graystone and was present during the
ceremonies at Mr. Tilden's late resi
dence. He did not go with the funeral
party to New Lebanon, but started im
mediately on his return to Washington.
Among the pall-bearers were John
I5igelow, who was Secretary of State
when Mr. Tilden was Governor of New
York, Mr. Manning, Secretary of the
Treasury, Samuel J. Randall, Charles
A. Dana, of the New Y'ork Sun, and
George J. Miller, of Omaha, an old and
valued friend ef the dead statesman.
Gov. Hill, Hon. William M. Evarts and
many others prominent and distinguish
ed in the slate were present at the
funeral. Mr. Tilden 's wealth is estima
ted at from seven to ten millions. In
his will he makes liberal provision for
his only sister. Mrs. Pelton, and for his
nephews and nieces, and invests his
executors with a large discretion in dis
posing of the residue of his estate.
Bf.i.fast, Ireland, has been the scene
of rioting and bloodshed ever since the
late Parliamentary election which
reached its worst phasa between last
Saturday night and Monday morning.
The participants in these riotous demon
strations were Orangemen and Catholics
who have been the sworn foes of each
other ever since the battle of the Boyne.
How many men, women and children
have been killed and wounded on both
sidts during the last three or four weeks,
it is impossible to say. An estimate may
be made from the fact that from last
Saturday night until Monday morning
(!icii persons werejulled and one hun
dredjand thirty wotinJei. Their origin
is attributed to the incendiary speeches
delivered in Belfast before tho election
by Lord Randolph Churchill, one of the
Tory leaders, who seems to think that
the best way to dispose of the Irish
question is to inaugurate a civil war.
Belfast is an "Orange" city, and its
police force is of the same hue, so that
a Tory demagogue like Churchill had
admirable material on which to operate.
It was thought on Tuesday night that
the rioting and bloodshed were over.
The military have taken the place of the
police and martial law has been declared.
Many of the most important bills be
fore Congress at its late session failed,
although some of them had passed either
the House or the Senate. Of the bills
that failed of final action weie the bank
ruptcy bill, the Blair educational blil,
the intei-state commerce bill, the Mex
ican pension bill, the several land forfeit
ure bills, the Eads ship railway bill, the
electoral count bill and the Pacific Itaii
road funding bill. We have strong
doubt whether Congress will ever pass a
bill to pension the Mexican soldiers. As
session after session passes away the
services of (Jen. Taylor's and Gen.
Scott's little armies that fought the
most brilliant and successful war of
modern times, seem to be fading out of
the Congressional mind and will soon be
entirely forgotten. Surely the men whose
courage on a foreign soil conquered an
empire for the Union infinitely larger
than any of the kingdoms of Europe,
deserve some substantial recognition at
the hands of the representatives of the
people. The citizens of the Republic
are not ungrateful however faithless
Congress may be in the performance o?
w hat ought to be a plain and patriotic
duty.
A reporter of the rittsburg Twt had
a lengthy interview at Bedford Springs
on last Saturday with ex-Senator Will
iam A. Wallace on the subject of that
gentleman'? candidacy for the Guberna
torial nomination by the approaching
State Convention. In the interview Mr.
Wallace reviews bis past public record
from his entrance into the State Senate
in up to the close of his term in the
Senate of the United States in March,
lSl. Mr. Wallace is a positive man and
he speaks freelv and without reserve on
all the important subjects of legislation
with which he has been more or less
identified. Being one of the authors of
the anti-discTimination bill which was
before the last legislature he takes a
firm stand in fuvor of the enforcement
of the provisions of Article XVI I of the
Constitution relative to railroads. On
other subjects he is equally explicit and
speaks like a man who feels a conscious
pride in all the details of his public
career. On the Prohibition question he
says : "Wie legislation recoguizes the
habits and customs of the people to be
governed, ard reformation can better be
effected by that recognition than by an
enactment that will lcome a dead let
ter. Men cannot be made moral and
pure by statute. I do Dot believe that
Prohibition prohibits," It is seldom
that a public man shows so much candor
and want of concealment as Mr. Wallace
does in this interview. He has made it
very plain that if the Convention wants
to nominate him it will not have any
j difficulty in knowing exactly what are
his views in regard to certain important
questions that will occupy a good deal

New York, Aug, 4. Samuel J. Til
den died at Grejstone, his residence, at
8,40 this morning, of paralysis and bod
ily infirmity incident to old age. He
had been by long suffering reduced to a
mere skeleton. His last days w6re
marked by extreme feebleness of body,
though his mind held its own to the
end. The direct cause of death was
paralysis of the heart following an acute
attack of diariho a, but it has been quite
apparent to those about him that he has
long been in danger of a sudden taking
off
There were present with him at the
time of his death, Dr. Charles tfimmon?,
Samuel Swift, and his niece Miss Gould.
Samuel Jones Tilden was born in New
Lebanon. Columbia couuty. N. Y.. on I
February 19. 1S14. He entared Yale
College in i.'33. but completed his course
at the University of New Y'ork, after
which he was admitted to the bar. He
was a member of the State Constitution
al Convention in lS4t", and also of the
lower House of the State Legislature.
In both these positions he did much to
shape the canal policy of the state, in
its day the foremost question of state
politics. In 1853 he was a candidate
for Attorney General of the State but
wes defeated. In lS0f he wa3 chosen
Chairman of tne State Democratic com
mittee and he held this position for a
number of years. In 1SG7 he was a
second time a member of a convention
called to amend the constitution of the
State. In 1SG9-70 he was active in the
orsanization of the bar association. In
1870-71 he was prominent in detecting
important frauds in the government of
New Y'ork city, and bringing the per
petrators to justice. It was this that
brought him into great prominence thro'
the country and made his name a syno
nym for Reform. In 1872 he was again
a member of the assembly, where he
followed up his Reform work by securing
changes of the law which have proved
an incalculable gain to the cause of
good government, both in the city and
state of New Yoik. In Novemlier,
1874, he was elected Governor of New
York, by o0,317 majority. He, was a
great lawyer, versed especially in mat
ters of railroad litigation. Among the
roost important cases in whicn he was
counsel were the Flagg contested elec
tion; for the comptrollersliip of New
York cify in 185" ; the liurdell heirs
against Mrs. Cunningham in 18o7; the
Cumberland Coal case in Kj8 ; and the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
against tne Pennsylvania Coal Chmpany
in 1803.
In June, 173. he was nominated by
the Democratic National Convention at
St. Louis the candidate foi the Presi
dency. At the election following. Mr.
Tilden received a very large majority of
the popular vote, and, as all Democrats
and most Republicans believe, and a
majority cf the Democratic Electors
were also elected. But the vote in Lou
isiana, South Carolina and Florida was
disputed. Partisan returning tmards in
those states had most shamefully doc
tored it. Finally, after a period of great
excitement in Congress and through the
rounfrv, the matter was referred to an i
Electoral Commission, composed of five 1
Judges of tho Supreme Court, five Sen
ators, and five members of tne House of
Representatives. The Commission voted
to 7, to give the disputed votes to
Rutherford B. Hayes, and thus one man,
Mr, Justice Bradley, who cast the deci
ding vote, was placed in a position to,
and actually did, undo the will of the
majority of the people and of the states
in the exercise of their highest act of
sovereignty. The Electoral College, con
stituted after and by t he Commission,
gave just one majority for Hayes
In Mr. Tilden was again named
for the Presidency, but h declined it in
a letter read before the Democratic Na
tional Convention at Cincinnati. Since
then he has lived in retirement, emerging
occasionally, however, in letters on im
portant puolic subjects, showing that he
never lost interest in his country, and
that his great mind never weakened in
its grasp of great questions.
Mr. Tilden never married.
Undoubtedly the most illustrious citi
zen of the United States died yesterday
morning, when Samuel J. Tilden gave
up his expiring breath. Though he had
been so physically frail for some years
past that the intelligence of his serious
sickness would not have surprised the
thousands of friends who were personally
cognizant of his condition, yet bis sud
den taking off comes like an unexpected
calamity. The mental fiber of the man
teemed superior to bodily failure. To
the very lst his splendid intellect re
mained to him a secure possession, and
kept him a whole man and a strong per
sonality in the eyes of his countrymen.
He goes to the grave as a star sinks out
of sight on the edge of the horizon with
all its brilliancy unobscured till the mo
ment it vanishes.
The private iife of Mr. Tilden was
pure. He emerged from the searching
inquiry of a fierce political contest with
an unblemished reputation. His public w"uc v 13 n anu-monopoiy party
life is a model ot excellence for the em- ! enforced. The Repnblican

chose to serve the people he always set
for himself some larger aim than self
gratification. A lover of knowledge in
every field of its development, his con
summate judgment would have made
him a marked man in any walk of life
where fortune might have thrown him.
He was a profound lawyer; he would
have been a great merchant or farmer.
Because he was deeper than the rogues
aDd wiser than the schemers allied with
the rogues who ruled the city and state
of New York, by an illicit understanding
he waa deemed crafty. The partisans
whom he bafiled, and the scoundrels
whom he brought to the door of tbe
penitentiary, esteemed him only as more
cunning than themselves ; but the people
of New York first, and people of the
Union afterwards, took him at his true

valuation, neuia nis race inestimable

have done the conntry nobler service if
he had been irmitted to hold the great
office to which bis countrymen elected
him.
The struggle of IP7t broke the power
of the Republican party, and restored
the Democratic party to a condition of
usefulness as an efficient and proper
counterpoise in regulating the affairs of
the country and preventing the evils of
unquestioned power. It is a misfortune
for the nation no less tharj for the party
that the foremost Democrat should fall
by the way at a time when his organizing
mind and wise counsel are sadly needed
for future guidance. But so it ia. We
cannot do more than cherish his memory
aud profit by his example. rtiiladeaa

Bearer's Store Orders.
There was great excitement among
t ? x a. m
; our liepuoiican ineriu's in town on i ues
j day evening, when the Philadelphia
Times came in with the exposure of Gen.
Beaver's store order system published
! in full in its columns. The Times gave
a cut of the various orders, from one
cent up, told all about how the men are
pajJ ,n lhem rj3tead of anJ then
printed th State law positively forbid- !
j ding the issuance of any kind of store J
order under a heavy penalty. A large
j crowd collected in front of M'Farlane's
! store to read and discuss the matter, but
! it was evident they felt badly about it,
and didu't know how to excuse the
j General, who, as a lawyer, must know
i that neither he nor his nail works com
j pany had any right to issue such shin-
plasters. The excuse will be made, of
course, that they were issued merely for
the convenience of the men, but this
won't do, as there is certainly nothing
more convenient than the cu.h. We
understand that a p iper has been gotten
rp, to which the signatures of the nail
works men have been sttached, testify
ing that the shinplasters are a matter of
convenience to them, but they all signed
it because they knew if then dul not then
would be discharsfd I That is what some
of tbem have stated in conversation with
reliable persons who have communicated i
with us.
Another excuse will of course be made
for General Beaver in this matter. And
that is, that be was overruled by bis
partners. The General is the largest ,
stockholder in the concern and is the
president of the company. He is a law
yer, too, and claims to be a good one,
and he knew very well that it was a ,
violation of law and an outrage upon the j
laborers to even offer or suggest to them 1
such a means of payment The penalty j
prescribed by law is 5100 for each of-
fense, (or for each ordtr,) to go into the '
common school fund. This is the situ- j
ation that General Beaver and his com- j
pany now find themselves placed in. i
It was not for the accommodation of
the men that these orders were issued.
That is all nonsense. It was for the
purpose of confining the trade of the
men to the Company store, and thus
making money off their necessities. That
was the reason and nothing else.
Will the laboring men of the State
vote for a candidate for Governor that
will thus knowinelv violate a positive
law of the State he aspires to govern ? ,
Let them thiuk this matter over coolly,
and we think they will arrive at the
conclusion tint if General Beaver will
thus take advantage of his workmen in
his own nail works, he is not the sort of
mar to have in the executive chair at
Harrtsburg. lielltfonte Watchman.
The Surplus In the Stale Treasury.
There are siens that the operation of
the new law for discovering money at
interest and taxing it three mills on the
dollar for state purposes, will result in
bringing into the treasury an unexpect
edly large amount of money, and a very
considerable snrnliis. The first lrnrmlso
of the average legislator will be to pro- i
vide new modes of expenditure ; and the
so calied "charities" which lobby at ,
every session of the legislature for appro
priations, will prepare for fresh raids on !
the money in sight. j
The wise economist under this state
of affairs will give his atteution to ;
methods of lessening taxation. There
is no occasion for lightening the burdens
of the corfmratiotis, which at present i
provide the greater part of the state j
revenues; for the reason that, though '
they already pay most of the state tax, !
they are exempt from the more serious !
loca' taxes, and upon the whole get off '
with less than their just share. The
farmers and real estate owuers in towns
find their city and borough or road tax,
their school tax and the county levy the
weightiest thev are called to pay; and
wliatever lightens these is a substantial
relief. If therefore the present stale
revenue laws tiring in a fuller return of
money than the state's expenses require,
it is time to inquire what diversion may
fitly be made of th- present state income
; to local purposes. Surely the liqnor li
I censes may with propriety be so applied.
The liquor traffic is under the regu'.atton
of the county courts ; if ills result from
it. as is charged, and the proofs of them
! are to be seen In the almshouses and
', jails and quarter sessions courts, the
j cost of their maintenance is paid out of
the county treaeury ; wherefore it is
altogether just that the receipts from
; these licenses go directly into
I treasury.
tLat j
i It is not certain that a differently
! graded license system, imposing higher
i fees, or varying them according to sales
j and place of location, would produce I
more revenue. It might decrease the
number of licenses. But, be it more or
less, whatever money is raised from this
source of taxation ought to stay in the
county for its uses. When this was
proposed, in the legislature of is3, it
was argued that the state treasury could
not stand the depletion. Time and ex
perience have proved this untrue. The
new tax law makes it still easier to
spare this revenue to the counties, and
it should be done, to the amelioration
of their present tax rates. Lancaster

The Supreme Issue.
There is one thing above all other
things that Democratic editors and wri
ters will need to avoid in the coming
campaign. They must avoid permitting
j themselves to be swerved to the right or
j to the left from the plain and imperative
; duty of compelling public attention to
j the one really supreme issue of the
i canvass.
The constitution of the state is an
anti-monopoly constitution. Tbe Dem
clearly.
The chief aim of the Republican cam
paign will be to befog and belie it. to
turn public attention away from it. The
chief aim of the Democratic campaign
should be to prevent that being success
fully done. The Republicans will talk
tariff, and civil service reform, and pen
sions, and surplus, and oleomargarine
bill, and everything else but the one
thing as to which the people are most
interested, and as to which the result is
to be vitally important. The Democrats
must, of course, meet their misrepresen
tations and slanders as to these questions
manfully, hut they must at the same
time prevent any forgetfulness of the
fact that above and beyond them ail, in
present importance, is the fact that the
state is suffering because of the non-enforcement
of the provisions of the Con
stitution with reference to anti-dis ,rim
ination and anti-monopoly, and that to
insure such enforcement there must be
Democratic success. WilkesBarre Un

Uocky Mountain sheep use their huge

crag to crag and from ridge to ridge should
it become necessary to make a jump down
ward, no matter what the height, they roll
themselves up into a kind of ball, vault out

somersaults, keep the ball rolling, so to
speak, until they strike on their powerful

so drunk that the jailor was unable to tell
which was the officer, and they were both
locked up until they were sober enough to

Most of the Washingtons now liviTg in
this country are descended from 1 ieorge
Washington's brother Samuel. George
found himself folly occupied in being fath
er of his country, and left It to Sam net, who
was married five tims, to father the family.
They were a courageous pair, those two
early Washingtons. George never feared
the fire of the enemy and Samuel dared to
take five different wives. The latter achieve
ment has not received due acknowledge
ment from our people. It strikes us that
Samuel Washington Is fully entitled to a
national monument. Perhaps the women of
country will see to it that his fame is per
