His greyhounds and stag hounds went with

x1LDEN AMONG THE FIG URES AND THE
ROGUES.

Wis opponents, his rivals, and his supporters
being judges, Gcv. Tilden has, with the posi-
BILE exception of De Witt Clinton, been more
completely the head of the State administra-
zion than any man who ever filled the Execu-
tive chair of New York. Some have complained
that he relies too much upon himself. Certainly,
&hen, he deserves the chief credit for all the
good that has been achieved in our public af-
FAIRS since he took control of them.
During the past eighteen months Gov. Til
den has ori gin ted and carried through meas.
ares that have reduced our canal expendi: lures
at the rate of two and q half millions of dol
IarS annually. Besides this he has initiated q
line of policy that has exposed and broken up
chronic system of frauds whereby the State,
Cor yeare Past, has been robbed Of large amounts
OF ats canal revenues. He has set at defiance
sud driven out of the field horde of oontrac-
SoES who had been long accustomed to do work
on the canals that wss either not needed at all
OF was performed at rates ruinous to the State.
he has carefully watched the proceedings of
the legislature, and his warning voice has
frightened away many jobbers, while by his
veto he has in two sessions reduced the appro-
pEiations for general purposes about q million
OF dollars. And during his term of office, and
mainly becauseof his measures, the State taxes
have been cut down nearly one-half.
Here Is a kind of reform that every body can
understand an i all honest men will appreciate
and applaud. We need this sort of reform at
Washington during the next four yeara. We
don't went rhetorcians who deal in sounding
phrases about reform but practical workers
after the manner of Sam Tilden, who solve the
problem of financial reform by reducing ex.
penditures and diminishing taxes.
Mt. Tilden hardly has his match for wading
through long col0mns of complicated figures
and discovering extravaganoes, uncovering
frauds, and detecting rogues. The old Tam
many Ring and the more cunning Canal Ring
win bear testimony to this. The National
Government will afford wide scope for the dis
play of Gov. Tilden's genius in field which
he has cultivated with 90 much success in New
York. Every real friend of administrative
reform. will hail the day when he goes to work
nextMaroh upon tho stsaistics and the sooun-
G1rels at Washington.

An unhappy mother was yesterday found
by funeral party at Green wood lying
with her four little children huddled about
her on the grave of her husband. They
were all quietly dying there of starvation
amid the costly monuments reared by civil
lized opulence aud religion, to attest the
saDctity of human affections and human
hOpes. The poor creatures had been turned
out OF their apartments in this city, and they
found no room left for them anywhere
among the living in the metropolis of the
great republic. We chronicled but the
other day the appalling fact that in London
nearl y fifty human beings annually die of
absolute starvation, in spite of all the mir
acles which steam and electricity have
wrought to better human life since Words
worth wrote his unforgettable lines:
Homeless a thousand homes stood,
And near thousand tables pinned and wanted food 4"
This miserable story of the day in New
York, following upon half dozen others
of the same sort during the present sum-
mer, is terrible aud sardonic commentary
upon our own proud Centennial boasts of
the superiority of our own social and poll
tical systems to those of the Old Worldly
