q worthy match for Gov. Hayes. For thao Was
preciscly his reply, when challenged by oppo-
ncntS in his party and State.
Rnt unfortunately Gov. Tilden did not snow
himself to be that sort of man, and MS party
certainly is not that sort of party. lhcr' ""S
his fatal weakness he is not master OF Deinoc-
rocv. but its servant. The Democratic party
intends TO repuliatc this pledge OF i!Ie 9uoIc
faith. Its purpose was so clear and strong,
even before the convention, that many ilIanhS
of Gov. Tilden yielded. Yet some hoped that
III him the old ,Jacksonian spirit would appear
They have been disappointed. Through hls
whole letter they search in vain for one worn
to prove that the man actually ana ufhiS-
takably rises above the party.
The fault is not so mu'h that OF Gov.
Tilden. il is true. His party does not tolerate
independence. Submission is It's first law
The most powerful impulse OF the party to-
day is To make war upon the public credit by
repeating the Resumption act, and there was
no master to Qucll that storm. The cunning
devices of the magician at Albany were iclt ut
Washington for time. but the rising tide ol
party feeling submerged all barriers. Through
a committee chosen in the belief that 1t Wouio
resist intlatiOnistS and rcpudlators To the en8,
that spirit of the party has forced its way at
last, and Gov. 1ilden bows assent the next
morning. With cautious phrases the Governor
who signed the New-Ioril Resumption act OF
1879 speaks before the Democratic parry OF
1876. The party has bot found a master but
"A servant. Its real representative Is Gov.

,,v AR. Dlaine,s exposure Of Knott on the floor
of the House. How much longer Knott wouiu
have suppressed the dispatch, but for the ex-
nosurc. can never be known. 1t is in evidence
Inv his own admission, when cross-cxamlned
BIZ Mr.. Blaine, that in those five days ne hau
taken no steps whatever to ascertain the gen
nine character Of the dispatch All he dld
WAS TO suppress and conceal it-evcn from MS
associates on The Judiciary Committee.
Tho technical plea that the telegram was not
leoal evidence is patry and paltcriDg In
ncighboring committee-room at the very same
fine. Gen. Schenck was being daily con-
sronted with damaging telcgrams from London
about tho Emma Nine, and it seems never TO
have occurred to the legal mind OF the Demo
cratic House that these flashes of the cable
were not good evidence. Wherefore the con-
clusion seems to be, according to modern
Democratic law at Washington, that dis
patch by cable, damaging to a prominent Re
publican, is very good testimony and must be
at once made public I; but telegram that vln-
dicates a prominent Republican Is not good
evidence and the chairman OF the committee
is justified in supprcssing it, This position
seems to Justify Mr.. Blaine's taunting remark
to Proctor Knott in the judiciary-room, that
if he had received dispatch from Caldwell
adverse to himself it would at once have been
made public Impartial people generally en-
tcrtain that opinion.
1t is worthy of remark in connection with
this matter, that all the severe scrutiny ofthc
Judiciary Committee in their search for some
thing TO Justify Knott, failed to reveal the
slightest connection of Mr.. Blaine with the
procurement of the kilograms from Caldwell.
All of Caldweis correspondence from tins SIDE
was with confidential business agents Of his
own, icalously guarding his interests, and
Caldwel's full explanation in his letter to Mrs.
Gen. Sherman shows how natural and proper
il all was 1t is To be noted, moreover, that
the Judiciary Committee take no notice OF tie
fact that Knott also suppressed CaldweliS
affidavit for an entire week, and then TO eX-
cusc him a false dispatch was set alloat mis-
stating the date of the receipt Of the affidavit
by Knott. The very best service that the
Judiciary Committee can do for Mr. Knott Is
TO treat him 10 Sidney Smiths recipe OF
few brilliant flashes of silence An earlier
application of the remedy would nave saved
Mr. Knott much sorrow and shame

THE PROCTOR KNOTT REPORT

The report of the judiciary Committee de-
Tending Proctor Knott, which was so summa:
lilly snubbcd and recommitted by the House,
was at best but technical, and did not at all
go to the root of the matter. The report said
in effect-frSt, the Caldwell telegram could
not be regarded rs legal evidence; second,
hence Mr. Knott was not guilty of suppressng
evidence. This is the merest sticking in the
ozark" The report did not say and could
not say that he did not suppress Mr.. Cald-
wells telegram. 1t is undenied and undcnia-
ble that he received it on the 1st day of June
and carried it in his pocket till the 5th-for
five full days-whcn it was brought to light

of hope and strength be missing, where the
larger recognition is withheld; but the least
breath will keep flame alive. Let us, how
ever, hear no more of American authors work
ing solely for pay, and being paid according
to the intrinsic excellence of their work! The
gains of literary labor have been exaggerated
in all countries, and probably nowhere more
than in this. 1t will be many ages before the
devotion, the absorption of life in an aim,
the untiring intellectual effort which are the
portion of an author, will bring him the same
reward as an equal labor yields to the other

Events succeed each other rapidly in the
Turco- Sevian conflict. In Herzegovina all
COOS well for the Montencgrins who have be-
gun the siege of TIcbignc, and have forced
the Turks to abandon Neum, In Bosnia the
ScryianS have defeated the Egyptian troops
who were on their way to the scat of war III
the north The Turks have, however, sue
cecded after five days fighting iii forcing the
Seryians to abandon Gurgusovatz and to oc-
cupy position between that place and
Bauia. This advance IL beSct with
peril for the Turks. A correspondent at
the Scrvian headquarters recently predicted
that as soon as the Turks entered Scrvia their
real trouble would begin. "From mountain
top" said he, forest shelter, and abyss he
&" (thc Turk will I've resisted step by step, and
"cyery village and town will be destroyed,
and every stack OF corn burnt rather than 1t
should fall into his hands" The stubborn
fighting of the past week amply confirms this
estimate of Scrvan tcnacty. 1t may bc that
the Turks are advancing only to their Moscow.

The appointment of a commission TO examine the
various phases OF the currency question aud report
after the election would be great relief to Of
our statesmen. Many of them are 50 burdened with
cares that they find II impossible to initiate Mr. Lo
gan's example and devote entire fortnight to the
study of political economy; and yet, without some
such mature preparation, they will shrink from tell
ing what they know about finance during the can
vass. But after all, however valuable this commits
sion to do tho thinking for our representatives 1t
world hardly be an cxhlarating Centennial exhibit.
In the Congresses and Cabinets of onr early history
there were amply equipped for acting upon
these questions that they could be spoaen of
without satire experts, and some things which
they said and wrote might be pOndered with
possible profit by the Washington publicist to-day.

Treasury have taken pains to proclaim their
contempt for the teachings of history and of
political and economic science. Among the fathers

Ncw-England village did not pass for
adrguato training for one who to direct
the financial policy of the United States.
But since the resolution to appoint conf
mission assumes that there stll remain
in the country experts and competent men,"
would il not be advisable to send some Of them to

A Boston correspondent gives an interesting
account of the anniversary meeting of the So
ciety to Encourage Study. The publicly ElNen
last year to its operations by IHE lRibuNh
has been largely instrumental in Increasing the
society. 1t is doing an excellent work IN
stimulating study among young women VINO
have ended their school days but not their de-
sire for learning. The high class of studies
that have been pursued in many instances by
members of the society is especially note
worthy. Might not similar organization do
good service among young men, eSpecai'y
with clerks in mercantile business, whose ten
dency is TO drop all studies and lose the BULK

There is little prospect that the Sioux at
Cheyenne Agency will succeed as peace-mak-
ers since the principal feature OF their pro-
eramme is that tho United States should stop
making war. There is a thousand times more
prospect of peace from the surrcndcrs an
nounccd of some Of Sitting Bulls followers !;
though very probably these snrrcnders may
be due less to the pressure of our arms than
to deficiency of provendcr or dispute IN

Gov. Chamber,ain's letter to the President,
accompanying the official reports of the Ham
burg massacre, is now published. The letter
hears a striking likeness to several of the
speeches on the Republican side that were
made on the same subject on Saturday. While
admitting that people OF all shades OF political
opinion have fastened to express their abhor-
renee of this deed of violence, Gov. Chamber
lain yet finds occasion for inlputing political
significance TO the massacre, and for urging
that the Federal Government shall at least be
ready 10 interfere.
