Tho stewart Estate.

We print an interesting narrative this
morning showing some of the penalties
which attach to the possession of great
wealth. The death Of citizen of the emf
nence of Mr.. Stewart leaving SO large for
tune, would naturally excite the cupidity and
ingenuity of that large portion of the COM
munity who live upon fortune like the
children of Israel waiting fer the mamma. 1t
is not surprising that there should be suits.
petitions, proposals to compromise family
claims. If Judge Hilton desires to dissipate
the gigantic estate left to his inheritance and
management he has only to begin system of
compromises. The attack upon the Itch
borne estate. where an adventurer set up the
claim to baronetcy and vast property,
shows the possibilities of human rascality
and ingenuity. Although the Tichborne
claimant was defeated in his pretensions and
sent to prison his case became a national
question. A member of Parliament was
elected by an appeal to popular sympathy in
favor of the claimant, and the guardians of
the estate were compelled to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars to save it.
The batch of letters we print forms an in
teresting chapter Of credulity and greed.
Mr.. Stewart was one of the shrewdest of
men. He had the Scotch-Irish fondness for
his family and his name. If he could have
found one relative it is very certain that he
would have been only too glad to have rec
ognized the affinity. To suppose that he
died in ignorance of all these affectionate
kinspeople is absurd and out of keeping
with his character. One claimant recalls
that in his youth he slept in the
same bed with Mr.. Stewart; another
remembers him as ''small man." another
appeals to the wife of the deceased as Dear
Aunty Stewart" while an Indiana Stewart,
"a private in company B." claims to be
second cousin and is willing to send vouch-
ers. trance medium has message from
the deceased, in which he asks his wife to
pay out his money literally and to circulate
chills and fever remedies among his late en-
ployes. Canada Stewart will be content
with trifle, while q New York member Of
the family would like ten thousand dollars,
with which to 60 into business. There Is
cheerful proposition overheard in the Park
to kidnap Mrs. Stewart and demand mill
ion dollars ransom.

The apathy which is shown by our friends
of the press in presence OF the fact that
distinguished and illustrious citizen is in
nomination for the Presidency and has ac-
cepted the honor is surprising 1t is not
generally the habit of New Workers to be
insensible to honors paid to their fellow
citizens. When this high distinction is
given to a gentleman as illustrious and be-
loved as Grandfather Peter Cooper the over
sight is more striking.
Mr.. Cooper is in the field as = candidate
He represents the views Of that energetic
and resolute class Of citizens who believe in
unlimited greenbacks. We do not share the
opinions Of our friend and cannot conscien-
tiously support him on financial grounds
but as politics now drift the issue will be
government reform and the purity Of public
life. On this platform no man has better
record than Mr.. Cooper. His whole life is
one long argument in favor of honesty, in
dustry and economy. To his liberality we owe
one Of our noblest charities. The fact that
such q man should enter into public can
yass is a happy sign of elevation in politics.
As to the financial views of Mr.. Cooper, they
could not be carried out without the aid OF
Congress, and while the friends of hard
money have advocates in the House as able
~ Mr.. Hewitt there i NO fear of soft mouey.

'sTHE HEATHEN CHINEE."-The Chinese
question is assuming grave proportions.
We have despatch from California en-
bodying . singular letter from secret
organization opposing Chinese labor and
all employment of Cinnamon. There are
two sides to this, as to all questions.
But there is one point that should not
be overlooked, and that is, if the
Chinese come to this country and claim the
protection of q constitution which insures
them all the rights Of citizenship they
should become citizens. AS it is the China
man comes here without any intention OF
making his home with us, without any desire
to identify himself in any way with our for
tunes or our national prosperity. He comes
without his family and never becomes q citi-
zen. He gives us his labor for about one
half of what we could obtain the labor OF
other nationalities. He goes home when he
has saved enough to live on. This is not the
industry we DESIRE and if it is encouraged
we shall find ourselves in time under the
control of the most degrading aristocracy.
AS machine the Chinaman is one Of the
best, but we want Republic of men and net
of machines.

ENFORCING THE LAw.-The Witness thinks
the performances at Offenbach and Shocks

were relays Of walters to take the places Of
those who were arrested. and where, in def
ance of the law aud the presence of the po-
lice, the sale of liquor went on without inter-
ruption, were scandal upon the administra-
tors of justice We think SO too. We do not
believe in our Sunday laws as at present ad-
ministered, because their effect is to give
all liberty to the rich and none to the poor,
and because they permit unwarrantable lib
critics with private citizens But the law is
the law, and it is the master of us all. When

believe that this attempt to reawaken Sec
tional hostilities will prove futile but it is
none the less certain that it will be made
and be main feature of the canvass on the
republican side. The democratic party may
think it safe to select its candidate with a
view to this inevitable form of assault, and
if SO there is no democrat WHO is SO invul-
nerable as Mr.. Parker the noted war Gov
ernor OF New Jersey, who won golden opin-
ions from every description Of loyalists dur
ing our great struggle for the Union.
Although democrat he stood in the front
rank of the renowned war Governors of the
period-by the side of Curtin in Pennsyl-
vania, Morton in Indiana and the lamented
Andrew in Massachusetts, these three repub-
licans and Parker, of New Jersey, having
been more jealous, efficient and successful
in raising and forwarding troops in time of
need than the Governors Of any other States.
There is no other democrat in the country
whose record during the war is so unassail-
able as that of Governor Parker. His nomi-
nation would blunt all the republican
weapons drawn from the period of the war,
being superior in this respect to Tilden,
Bayard and every other democrat who has
been talked Of as Presidential candidate.
There are many democrats who would have
done as we'll if they had had the same OPP
portunity, but it is impossible to prove it
by such conspicuous and irresistible evil
dence as is found in the official conduct of
Governor Parker. SO far as the loyalty
issue is to be of any weight in the canvass
there is no comparison between him and any
other democratic candidate
The election, however, will not turn on
the currency issue alone, nor on the Sec
tional issue alone, nor merely on these two
together. 1t is possible that the reform
issue may predominant over both, and on
that Governor Parker, though a man Of
sterling and tried integrity, would have no
advantage over Bayard, and would lack
something of the fclat of Tilden. We must
wait until the Cincinnati nomination has
been made and until we can see how it is
received by the country, before we can form
an intelligent opinion as to who would be
the strongest democratic candidate.

THE THREE COMING FOREIGN Crews. -
From the interview with Captain Rees, in
another column, it will be seen that our
students are to meet a capital undergraduate
crew from Dublin University, while her
graduate four, including the first oarsman in
Ireland. are to row at Philadelphia, as are
also one, if not two, Cambridge crews. This
cuts out plenty of hard work for both our
students and other amateur oarsmen during
che next three months.

"A few enthusiastic Washington correspond
think that Mr.. Blaines vindication makes
him IN available candidate for Cincinnati
But the temperate judgment of the party
counts him out of the race. Mr.. Blaine
must see himself that his fight is not Tor
leadership, but for existence. He will here
after belong to the invalid corps of the
republican army. But he passes out of the
line of promotion. He can never be Pres
ident of the United States. 1t is even a
question whether he will have any power at
Cincinnati over the councils of the Repub-
lican Convention.
The power OF Mr.. Blaine will be given to
Washburne. With this power Washburne
becomes the leading candidate of the repub-
lican party. The only influence his friends
have to fear is that of the Jay Goulds and
Tom SCOTS, who will have no President who
is not amenable to railway dictaton. On
this point the record of Washburne is better
than that of any candidate in nomination.
But the power OF the railway men. of those
who look for land jobs, subsidies and so on,
is very great 1t may destroy Washburne to
build up Hayes or some third man, on the
theory that it is better to have probable
foe than one whose enmity is like that Of
Washburne, proclaimed and violent.
In the meantime New York stands like a
stone wall behind Roscoe Conkling. The
Empire State has nailed the Conkling ban
ner to the mast. II remains to be seen
whether SO much devotion will be rewarded
with the victory it deserves.

Opera bouffe Odenbach has been looking at

appreciation of genius. The admirers Of
LA Belle Helene will be pleased to hear
that during the rough weather on the upper
Atlantic the creator the 'sGrande Duchesse"
spent most of his time at prayer, sscom-
mending his soul to God" Offenbach at
prayer would make fine theme for some of
our artists-some one like the Morans who
could give proper effect to the sea surround
ings. There was o serenade and he made
speech, 'just like Gambetta," Thank you,
SIR" He also had o dinner at the Lotos
Club, which some one tells him is the first
club here and where he met Literary men.

went to the Press Club and met many
s'spiritue" gentlemen, ''who nearly all spoke
French" 1t is comforting to know that our
opera boufe friend and guest is well pleased
with the country as far as he goes, and it is
to be hoped that when he comes to write his
opera about the United States he will not
omit the fine touches of character he must
have seen at sea and among his club friends.

HoNoRs TO NEW YoRK.-Let us suppose
and the republicans Mr.. Conkling for the
Presidency. We shall then have three dis
tinguished citizens of our State in nomina-
ton for the highest Office in the gift of the
people-the Governor. the Senator and
Peter Cooper. New York should rejoice in
the abundance of her gifted sons. If the
sprouting candidates keep on growing we
shall have about thousand all ready for the
field in another four years.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-06-07

But in the duties of general administration
Mr.. Cooper would have the opportunity of
doing great good. He would turn out the
thieves and the jobbers and the corrupters
OF the public service. He would bring back
the times of Washington and the Fathers.
He would teach economy and industry, and
his name would 60 down to posterity as one
OF those pure men who had sacrificed the
comforts of private life and the peaceful re-
tirement of old age for the public welfare.
But whether we support Grandfather Peter
or not let us anyhow remember that he is a
New Yorker and worthy of metropolitan rec
ignition.
