THE COURSE pursued by many OF The
several sorts of labor organizations IN this
country is slowly but surely producing the
impression that the managers OF those re-
ferred to are conducting them rather IN
their own selfish interest than in that OF
the men by the assessment of whom they
are supported. By recent exposure OF tne
accounts of one of the unions" it was dis
covered that the cost of disbursing twenty
three thousand dollars was tWenty-slx
thousand. Why any considerable number
of men should continue to submit to the
exaction of assessments for the purpose OF
allowing the collectors thereof to live idle
and luxurious lives is hard to tell.

Mg- Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, the Democratic
party's greatest leader, died at his residence,
"Greystone," on the Hudson, at ten minutes to 9
o'clock on Wednesday morning. He had been in
delicate health for several years, having suffered
stroke of paralysis, from which he never entire
~ recovered. The immediate cause of his death
was an attack of nausea, followed by sudden
stoppage of the hearts action, and he passed
away very quietly and peacefully in the presence
of his only neice Miss Gould, and the servants of
the household. Having been in public life for SO
many years, Mr. Tilden's history is quite familiar
to the people of the country. The most prominent
Office held by him was that of Governor of New
York State, to which he was elected in 1874, and
up to which time he had been engaged in active
practice of the Law. In 1875 the Democratic
party nominated him for the Presidency and the
remarkable campaign which ensued, coupled with
the exciting events following the election, are
still fresh in the minds of the people. He was
born in Columbia county, New York, February
9th, 1914, and consequently seventy two years
of age last February. Mr.. Tilden never married.

some other minor matters the Committee adjourned.

%g>Nothing mean about us. We will be gen.
erous enough to give our esteemed brother of the
Hampstead Enterprise the benefit of the doubt
and also of an advertisement, which we trust will
benefit him. Here is what he says:
"The Towsontown UNION persists in its unmanly
presentations, and prefer to leave it glorying
in its mongralism. We will only state in answer
to its latest insinuation, that left Manchester
and located at Hampstead because the latter is
the market centre of trade from this section, and
that we have larger circulation in Manchester
now than we had when we lived there"
We accept your apology, neighbor. We didn't
mean to make you SO angry. But you called US
"green- headed frog" and that is objectionable.
If your intense wrath had led you to pleasantly
remark that we are bald headed lobster, we
should have acknowledged the soft impeachment
and that would have ended it.

rs Judge Woodward, of Luzerne county, Pa.
has just rendered decision a hitherto unset
tied point. A judgment was entered and execu.
ton issued on the 22d of February, from the OBJ.
legation of which the debtor sought to escape on
the ground that the date mentioned was legal
holiday and that legal holidays, like Sunday, could
not lawfully be used for the transaction of bust
ness. Judge Woodward ruled that the statute
ordaining legal holiday is merely directory, not
imperative, and that it does not prohibit judicial
acts or worldly employment in general. con-
trary view would tend to restrict the liberty of al
most any citizen at some time or other; and to en-
able the INSCRIPTIONS to evade their obligations
Such wise Interpretation of the law is likely to
be generally concurred in.

mS- Much surprise was occasioned in Balti-
more on Saturday last by the announcement that
the firm of William J. Hooper & Son had made
an assignment. Although Mr.. Hooper is son
of the late William &. Hooper he has no connec-
ton with the firm of William E. Hooper Sons,
whose extensive mills are located at Woodbury.
and Mt. Washington, Baltimore county. William
J. Hooper Son were proprietors of the Balti-
more Irvine and Net Company and also of the
Mountain Island Cotton Mill, Is CASTOR, North
Carolina. The senior member Of the firm is also
president of "The Herald Publishing Company
but the failure in no way involves that paper. The
assets are estimated at 100000. As soon as a
satisfactory arrangement can be made with the
creditors the firm will resume business. Messrs.
Jas. A. Gary and Thomas M. Lanahan are the
trustees.

@-The friends of Hon. j. Fred. G. Talbot
claim that he scored his first victory in the Con-
gressional campaign at the meeting of the State
Central Committee on Wednesday. The friends
of DR.. Shaw, including Messrs. o. R. Benson and
Baltimore county, wanted the Congressional con-
vention for the Second district held at Westmn-
ster, the home of DR.. Shaw, but Mr.. Talbotts
friends favored Belair and their choice agreed
upon as the place ofmeeting. This is thought by
Mr.. Talbott's friends to be strong point gained
in favor of his nomination for Congress.

Ng- The many centssts now going on in differ
ent parts Of the country to set aside the wills of
deceased persons recall the provisions of law in
Michigan, which stops heirs from pleading that
the testator was insane. Under the law when q
testator draws his will and files it for probate,
notice is given to his heirs, and they, without
knowing the provisions of the instrument, are
bound to come forward with any reflection they
may wish to cast upon his sanity, and have the
whole question settled by jury while he is alive
and capable of examination. If they neglect the
opportunity thus given they are estopped from a
contest afterwards.
