Mr.. Tilden is now hard at work
arranging for the campaign OF 1880,
and there is no longer any doubt but
what he will appear in the Democratic
national convention as a formidable
candidate for nomination. Smarting
under the defeat of 1876, and lamenting
the vast sum ofmoney that he expend-
ed he fedetermiHed to make another
effort to regain what he lost on that
occasion. The Democrats are divided
as to whether he is the best man they
should take or not, but the prospect
of the large sum of money that he will
put up has powerful influence with
many of them and they may yield
there objections for the sake of seeing
the contents of the fresh "bar'P put
in circulation. On the other hand
the Republicans are exceedingly anx-
iOus that Mr.. Tilden should be the
standard bearer again as they feel con-
fident that the odium of his last cam
baign will be sufficient to overwhelm-
fngly defeat him; in other words they
consider him the weakest man the
Democrats could put up and will not
sHett 10 his nomination,

Ice Mission.


A good move has been made in st. Louis
II is to supply the poor with ice in the sum-
mer. The suggestion was made by the
Globe Democrat that much OF the suffering
in that city, especially among the sick,
might be ameliorated by supplying those
who were unable to buy it with this article,
which in a climate like that is 4 necessity
rather than luxury. Contributions t"r
this purpose at once began pouring in, ana
il is hoped sufficient for the purpose will
soon be obtained.
There is no doubt that many lives might
be saved in every city could the sick have
this comfort during the long days, when
even those blessed with health and means
TO purchase ease can hardly endure the ex-
cessiye heat. Ice would be worth moro to
the poor creature burned UP with fever
than all the medicine that could be given
and it is probable that any city could better
afford 10 supply such necessity than to
pay the expenses which its absence un-
doubtedly often entails. This fact will
hardly be recognized at present, however,
for the years that have passed since ice
came into such general use aretoo few to
allow of its being looked upon ia any other
light than az something only to be enjoyed
by those who are able to pay for its use.
The day will come when its bestowal upon
the poor will be regarded in the same light
.as the giving Of fuel in winter, for it will
be seen to have as much to do with the pre-
-seryation of life in crowded cities. The
benevolent people Of St. Louis are setting a
good example. They are really taking a
sanitary precaItion which will be for the
benefit of all of the citizens, since whatever
diminishes sickness and mortality adds to
the prosperity Of place.
