MORTUARY.

James Gordon Bennett, the great Amer
lean journalist, is dead. The public have
not been unprepared for this announcement
for several days past, the character of the
dispatches received by us on Saturday leav-
ing no room to doubt the certainty of the
event within very few hours. He died on
Saturday night, at his residence in New
York, after brief but painful illness, and
while his family, or several members of it,
were absent in Europe. Mr.. Bennett was
a Scotchman by birth, and man of most
extraordinary energy and character. He
came to America as early as 1919, engaging
at first in the occupation of teacher in
Halifax where he first landed. But he
soon abandoned this vocation, came to
Boston, and engaged as pIoof-readcr in
publishing house in that city. -sa Sal
In 1922 he went to Charleston, South
Carolina, where he became connected with
the Courier as translator from the Spanish
American papers for that journal. He re-
manned in Charleston only a few months,
when he went to New York, where, after
several not very successful attempts at
journalism, he finally became associated
with NJ. NJ. Noah in the editorship of the
Enquirer. After the fusion of this paper
with the Courier, he continued his connec-
ton, and in 1929 became an associate ed-
tor Of the Courier and Enquirer, which

difference in political opinion between
him and the edtor-in-chief, Col. Jas. Wat
son Webb, led to his retirement ; and in
October of the same year he issued the first
number Of new journal called the New
York Globe, devoted to the cause of jack
son and Van Buren,. 1t was soon discon-
tnued.
Mr.. Bennett next became part proprietor
and principal editor of the Pennsylodnion,
daily Journal published in Philadelphia
He continued this publication till 1884,
when he returned to New York, and on
the 9th of May, 1885, issued the first num-
Der Of the New York Herald, with which
he has been identified ever since, making il
the foremost newspaper in the United States;
but for several years past impaired health
has prevented him from taking any active
part in the conduct of that journal, though
its columns have been constantly animated
by the spirit and peculiar style he had in
fused into them when he presided as editor
in-chief.
Mr.. Bennett leaves an ample fortune
which is entirely the result of his journals

THE LABOR COMMISSION.

During the past few years all thoughtful
men have been seriously interested in the
questions at issue between employer and
employed. They have felt more and more
that the forces engaged in production were
imperfectly organized, and the products inn
perfectly, and often unjustly distributed.
Numerous problems-growing out of this
general subject, vitality important to the
great mass Of men, employers as well as
employed--presen themselves for solution.
They are not merely matters of theory aud
speculation. They are closely connected
with the dearest interests of men and wo-
men. They are questions of food and clo-
thing, of homes and education for the chill
dren, of e!evating and blessing, or degra-
ding and cursing millions of people. In
all civilized lards these questions are being
considered and discussed. Commissions,
appointed by governments and by humane
societies, are at work, seeking to unravel
the intricate mazes Of these problems. BY
a tacit understanding between the leading
employers and the representatives of the
labor organizations in this country, it was
agreed to refer matters to an independent
commission, to be appointed by Congress.
1t was hoped that this commission might
listen to the representatives of both sides,
and from the standpoint Of a fair and I'M
| prejudiced study of all the facts in the case,
deduce some conclusions acceptable to all
reasonable men. BY this means, a better
public sentiment might be erected, and the
way prepared to harmonic the conflicting
claims upon the basis of justice.
A bill for this purpose was carefully re-
ported by the committee on Education and
Labor. 1t was fully discussed in the
House, and passed. .."a .
This bill provided for the appointment by
the President Of three commissioners for
the term of one year, at salary OF five
thousand dollars per annum. The bill
went into the Senate and was referred. 1t
has been neglected until Friday evening
last, when By extraordinary efforts it was
brought out from the rubbish, where it was
hidden by Senator Wilson as an amendment
to the tariff bill. We do approve of this
mode of introducing n measure, but GER
tainly no indiscretion of its friends could
Justify the treatment that it received.

The two little States of Salvador and
Honduras, in Centeral America, are at
loggerheads again, and the President of
the former has taken the field with the
magnificent army of $500 men, with
which he intends to sweep Honduras from
end to end. The Hondurese, however, do
no propose to stand this sort of thing, and
the war-notc has been sounded through the
length and breadth of their valleys of fustc
and logwood to such effect that nearly
equal force has declared itself ready to
meet the invaders. Judging from the
history of former lsthmus wars, it would
be safe to prophesy that the larger part of
the blood shed will be by mosquitoes.

slMNER,s SPEECH

If the object Of Mr.. Summers great
onslaught upon the President had been to
damage his chances for q denomination
before the Philadelphia Convention, such
bitterness and asperity as he has shown
were very unfortunate ingredients with
which to charge speech of such COM
manding length. For four mortal hours
the Massachusetts, Senator mistook his
malevolence for virtue, and COMPOUNDED
private antipathies with public duties
making speech which for the fierceness
of its attack, and the eagerness with which
it seeks for some discreditable motive in
almost every act Of the President, has
caused it to fall very far short of its mark,
as every man of discrimination and judg-
ment must see. Neither lapse of years nor
change of circumstance or scene seem to
mitigate the hates of Mr.. Sumner. He
nurses them as if they were his noblest
and best dispositions, to be paraded on all
occasions with Pharisaic;.l ostentation. Sir
Philip Francis was not more vindictive and
mcrciless in his attack upon Warren Hast
ings, the great encouragement of India,
than is Sumner when arraying his accusa-
tons and charges against General Grant,
on the eve of Presidential nomination.
The only difference is that Sir Philips
enluity was nursed longer, and had in
lnitely more proyocation in all the long
years of bitterness and asperity that grew
up between the two men. He had greater
cause, for his hate was backed by long
series of provocAtions, as well as by q
persistent policy of resentment manifestly
pursued by his great antagonist for years
while Sumner is forced into his extravaganza
by nothing more nor less than morbid
sensibility which domineers over all his
faculties.
Placing himself, in the first instance, in {
position of violent hostility to measure o
the President, and persistently holding Oh
TO his enmity after all necessity for it had
ceased, he was dropped from committee
for no other reason than that his relations
with the President were such-and made

THE Steinway Hall demonstration
against Mr.. Greeley, was the "most un-
kindest cut of ALL" The gathering was
formidable one in numbers, and still more
formidable in the character of those who
took part in it; but it was an exceedingly
unkind as we'll as ungenerous movement.
The Free Traders went" for the Cincin-
natl nomination with altogether more eager
ness than did Mr.. Greeley; but the nommi-
nee was "horse of different color" from
what they expected, and so they kick in
the traces and try to back square out of the
thlls. In such a movement as this, they
can get no popular sympathy and deserve
none. When men bait political trencher,
they should be content with the game they
cath. If they trap for mink, they shouldn't
whine if they catch weasel. 1t is treating
Greeley very shabbily to go back on him
when he is fairly nominated in their own
convention.
