DEATH OF CHARLES READE

In the twilight of Friday evening last,
whilstwe were turning with deep interest
the pages of "Put Yourself in His Place."
by Charles Readc, an afternoon paper was
handed US, ,andthe very first words which
caught ourleyeA was the announcement Of
the death'of this distinguished author, who
died at his home in London early that morn
ing.
II maybe said, not in the highest rank
ofnoveiists, Charles Reade can hardly be ac-i
counted inferior TO any English novelist
who survives ,him-he made for himself
distinctive place in literature, and it was
one 50 entirely his own that none Of his con.
temporaries had any success in Initiating it,
Asa literary workman, Reade was not
easy and polished in stylc-his sentences had
nothing of the odor of the wildwood, the
music of the streams OF the, melody of the
forest birds; TO the close he continued crude
in both style aud'form. There was nothing
of that soft, fascinating mechanical polish
which distinguishes the works of Anthony
Trollope, though he possessed grealer natu-
raj gifts. He struck from the shoulder, and
his strokes were both rapid and strong, but
never regular. There is much force in his
works, and although be reasons for the most
part from physical or at least from strict
ly human basis, he asserts his conclusions
with so much yigor that their effect has
been most marked. This very distinguish
ing feature will be readily observed in his
"Put Yourself in His Place." His "Closter
and the Hearth" can be said TO rank with
the historical novels Of the day, and Aany
Of his seiGs,iAnal tales have elected the
most fattering criticism of the European
and American press. His severely criticised
and much abused Griffith Gsunt," which
was subsequently Grammatical and placed
with much effect upon the stage of this and
other countries, was his greatest sensation
from the boldness of its dealing with deli.
cate question in point of morals Perhaps
the greatest objection to this work was that
the most prominent features of the story
were pushed forward with too much force
"Christie tombstone" was one of his bright.
estiand earliest tales, and such an impress.
sion did this charming story make upon
Ralph Waldo Emerson that at his sugges-
ton Ticknor, Field & Co. reproduced the
book in this country.
Charles Reade wrote for many years and
wrote rapidly. A half century hence his
works will occupy higher position in the
literary alcoves of the world than they dc
to-day.

EX-SPRARER KETFER

The House of Representatives, on Friday
last, adopted the report Of the committee
exonerating Gen. Boynton, veteran Jour.
nalist, Of the grave charges preferred against
him by ex-speaker Keifer. Experience, tits
said, is wise master, il may be added, and
with truth, that it is eft-times severe master
Ex-Speaker Keifer was present pending the
consideration of the report by the House
and not word escaped his lips. II must
have been painful and Notifying moment
in the life of the ex-Speaker-he had pre-
ierred these charges, they had been care
fully examined into by committee who
reported that they were without foundation.
Gen. Boynton. who bears honorable scars
Of his bravery in the field, and who, il IA
reported, has exercised great influence at
Washington since he has been connected
with the press, has received the merited con
CALCULATIONS of leading men of both parties
who believe that the press, when true 10 its
own dignity, faithful TO the public service
and earnest in its concern for the common
welfare, is entitled at least TO respect. A
European despot can insult, defame and
silence the press of his country, but he can
not defy its freedom, and Il, as a whipped
and silent cur submits is worthless hide 70
masters lash, the press OF the United States
should tamely surrender It's character 10
Mr. Refers opinion Of it and quietly appro.
pirate the distinguished honor of its abuse
be Is certainly the most wonderful despot OF
the age.
We realize that the press Of the country
has fallen from Its high position as the great
conservator of equal rights and Of political
independence To be the servile instrument of
party. II has become, as an inevitable con.
sequence, the mere auxiliary Of party move.
ments, and must rank as such thing above
or below amy other agency that for the time
being is more or less efficient. This is the
solution OF that imprudent display of power
indulged in by Mr.. Keller in his ostenta.
uous disrespect towards the press. He was
evidently under the impression that he had
possession of the controlling influence of an
other power superior to that against which
he vented his scorn. He regarded the Con
gressional wheel Of machine politics as
more powerful than the press wheel, and as
governing. He doubtless realizes the great
mistake he has made, and when he shall
have returned To the walks of private life
where public indignation will soon rele-
gale him. he may learn to further realize that
the man who is above or below the influence
Of the press is equally beyond the reach of
public opinion.

A significant letter from Mr. Tilden was
read on Tuesday night at the annual ban
quet of the Iroquois Club of Chicago
Taking for his text the sentiment, "The
Federal Constitution" Mr.. Tilden traces
briefly but in trenchant style, the gradual
change which false construction of the
constitution has wrought in the political
system of the government and points out
that mo reform of administration ia posi-
BILE so long as the government is directed by
a party which is under the dominion of
false doctrines, and animated by enormous
pecuniary interests in the perpetuation of
existing abuses" "'rhe first effective step"
he says, "in the reform of our government
must be fundamental change in the policy
Of its administration" He adds that while
the work of reform will be difficult To ac-
complish, he does not despair of the ulti-
mate dclverance Of the country, and con
cludes by saying "rhough can no longer
aspire To be.one of the leaders in this great
work, bid those OF, you on whom this
august mission may fall, God-speed."
