THE GERMAN PRESS ON TILDEN's
DEATH.

Mr.. Tilden was especially strong with
the Germans of the United States. They
believed in his honesty, capacity and
reform principles. 1t is interesting,
therefore, to read what the Freiheits
Freund, the well-greased Republican
ring organ says of him. We quote from
its article on Tilden's death:
In 1875 he considered himself cheated
out of the Presidency, yet submitted to
the generally prevailing sentiment, but
in 1880 he deemed it imperative 10 again
kindle the courage of his adherents by
the CRY of fraud. He has,
however, outllved the most of his oppon-
ents for the Presidency. Seymour, Nc
Clellan, Hancock and Hendricks are
dead, and at last he had to go, the old
man, to where no cipher message Can
be sent.
In contrast with this rather feeble
political blackguardism and brutality,
the Pittsburg V0lksblatt save;
The remarkable events of that election
1876, which terminated with Hayes
accession to the Presidential chair, only
served to increase his popularity with q
large part Of our people, and he could
since then have twice received the nOm-
inatiOn for the Presidency If be had
only reach-d out his hand for it and
not even declined to accept it. His rec
ord during his term of Office as Gov.
ernor Of the State of New York and his
public speeches and writings on the
Union question before and during the
war and on almost every other question
which has concerned the public welfare
since the thirties, have secured for him
the hOn0red remembrance of the whole
people, irrespective Of any political
party differences.

he prouosition 10 Give a Depsio,

The proposition to give pensiOn to
every surviving soldier and sailor Of the
war Of the rebellion, that was warmly
supported by certain persons in Con-
gress, has again been dlsapproved by the
National Encampment Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. this time by q
vote Of 327 to SO. This vote indicates
an adverse opinion concerning this
measure In the Grand Army that poll
ticisns in Congress will not fail to take
into consideration. Already the crippled,
the invalid and the destitute are gener-
ously provided for. Pensions are for
those who suffer, not for those who only
serve In their countJy's cause and get
pay.

LET Us ATTEND TO THIS.

There are two matters which must be
acted on in the coming Democratic State
Convention In manner that will not
leave an uncertain sound. They are,
fret, full and emphatic denunciation
Of the corrupt political methods adopted
by Hamilton County and other polite
fans; and, second, a declaration on the
tariff question In favor Of tariff
for revenue only The first declaration
is one that concerns every citizen, and
more particularly the welfare Of the
party, while the other Is bound to be-
come an issue and csnnot and should
not be longer lodged There are thou
sands OF Democrats In Ohio who would
rather go down In defeat In November
with these principles emblaz)ned on
their banner than win victory with
them off, Fremont Messenger.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's work since
the first Of the year is evidenced by the
fact 1,085 bills were sent him, includ-
Ing TAI pension bills. BE approved S14,
1877 became laws without his signature,
and 8 failed for want Of time to act on
them before adjournment, OF the latter
the most important was the Morrison
surplus resolution, but as the President
has already the discretion conferred by
the act this makes little difference. The
President vetoed 1l5 bills, Of which 10l
were pension bills. He approved 49l
pension bills. Out Of LOSS bills that
passed Congress, TAI we're pension bills.
During the session 1880 bills were In.
troduced In the two houses. Many PEN
sion bills were not acted upon. General
laws should cover all deserving pension
applications, and board appointed to
act on the few special cases that cannot
be provided for.

On N,Vember 2, Tennessee will elect
a Governor, Legislature and members of
Congress. The Republicans have been
declaring that they were going to carry
the State. On Thursday Of last week
there was general election In Tennes-
see for Supreme Court Judges, and the
Democratic gain was nearly thirty thou
sand votes. This peso not look much
like Republican victory In November.
But 1t looks exceedingly like a Demo-
cratic gain throughout the whole coun-
try.

What Killed Him.

All ills known to physc from toothache to phthIsc.
He suffered with torture Intense;
cancerous hummock invaded his stomach,
His rheumatic palms were Immense.
He was sick with miasma and choked with the asthma
An abcess had eaten lung.
And there was rumor gigantic tumor
Had grown at the roots Of his tongue;
The keen meningitis. the choking bronchitis,
Both tortured him nearly insane,
And cross looking bunion. as large as an onion,
Made him howl for whole hours with pain.
He had "heeers," physicians and loud quack mast-
clans,
And nostrums and pills BY the ton,
And medicine mixers, with all their elixIrs
BedoctOred the fellow like fun
They would drug him and swil him, yet nothing could
kill him,
Their efforts combined he dened.

The New York Tribune remarks that
"it is encouraging to know that within
the last six months the wOrkingmen of
Gotham have deposited fS,O24, ,304 in the
savings banks. Possibly" it adds, "this
is as much as some business men, say
Wall street speculstOrs, have been able
to lay up in the same length of time"
This is gratifying, IN view of the fact
that we are living under a Democratic
Administration, which, according to Re-
publican Oracles, was certain to reduce
every woTkingmsn TO starvation.

One Of the most wonderful OF modern
inventions Is the revolving gun known
as the Gatling Battery Gun.
This gun has been adopted by many
governments, including the United
States, Russia, England, Turkey, Egypt
and others.
Richard N. Gatling, N. D., was born
In HertfOrt county, North Carolina, Sep
tember 18th, 1918. When mere lad he
assisted his father in the invention Of
machines used In cotton culture.
Having received primary education
at the schools near his home he began to
show an ambition to begin the work Of
life. For year, when between fifteen
and sixteen years of age. he wrote In the
Office of the county clerk. Then he
taught school and afterwards engaged
In trade on his account,
AT the age of twenty-six he removed
to st. Louis, Mo, and engaged in the
manufacture and sale of seed sowing
machines. Some time after this sin
gular event occurred, which Is thus re-
lated When travelling from Cincinnati
to Plttsburg in steamer lie was taken
with the small pox, and the boat get
ing frozen In the Ice he was thirteen
days without medical attendance and
came near dying from neglect. Solely
to administer to his own necessities in
the future he subsequently studied
medicine for several years and thus Rc-
qnired the title of doctor" Later he
located at Indianapolis, Ind, where he
engaged in the sale and Improvement of
real estate. The number Of his inVen
tions Is very large, and In addition to
those already mentioned include steam
blow and screw for proDelling vessels
and machines for sowing seeds of all
Kinds. 1t was at the beginning of our
late war that he turned his attention to
the machine gun, which has made him

Shaving at FIFTY Miles an Hon,

practice Is everything" said the
Pullman conductor, who stood In the
stateroom engaged In performances
which so many men find difficult even
under the most favorable conditions.
Years go began trying to shave my
self On the cars. At first l didn't dare
try 1t when the train was running, but,
gaining confidence with experience, |
soon got so the motion Of the car made
no difference whatever. Nov l can
shave myself just as well at fifty miles
an hour as standing still. DangerousP
Not at all, except that It would be rsth
or awkward to have an accident occur, q
collision, or derailmsnt when you had
razor at your throat. But accidents
are awkward any way, razor or no razor.
Why, know an engineer who regularly
shaves himself on his engine. He Is a
young and handsome fellow-one who
likes to look nice all the while-an(l
when he gets out In the country where
there Is clear track he let's 20 the
throttle and takes up his Iazor."-[Chi

A Fremont editor sought to interview
one Rutherford B, Hayes the other day
on the death of Tilden. This little ex-
tract from the Philadelphia Times tells
the story;
"After the election of Tilden to the
highest civil trust of the world he WAS
confronted by the most cunningly and
unscrupulously organized fraud ever
attempted In the history Of American
politics The States Of louisiana and
Florida were literally stolen from him
by the most uDblushing fraud, and
South Carolina was so evenly balanced
that its electoral vote would probably
have been given to Tilden by an honest
count and return. BY the most venal
purchase and debauchery Of political
adVenturers who were ri0ting in theft
In the reconstructed South the three
States named were returned In favor Of
Hayes, thus giving him one majority In
the Electoral College, and Hayes and
Wheeler made their names immortal In
infsmy BY accepting the highest honors
Of the Republic when they were blister
ed by fraud. Tilden pstriOtlcally bowed
to the decision Of the Electoral Commits
sion because 1t had been made the ar
bitter Of the dispute by law, and to-day,
with no great title to make his name II
lustrious, he Is lamented In every Sec
tion and by every faith, while Hayes
lives In charitable forgetfulness In Ohio,
and Wheeler Is forgotten name In the
list Of statesmen. Samuel j. Tilden has
lived the full meagure Of his daVg. has
finished his work, and his memory will
ever be green In the affections Of the
American people,"

Mr.. BLAINE. In his Twenty Years In
Congress" devoted the better part of a
chapter to discussion Of the career
and character of MIR. TiIden. Summing
up, Mr.. Blaine says:
Mr.. Tilden has been the subject of Ve-
hem ut and contradictory Judgments.
His friends have well nigh csnOn'zsd
him as representing the highest type of
public virtue; his foes have painted him
as an adept in craft and intrigue. His
psrtissns have held him up as an ev2l-
gel of new and purer dispensation; his
opponents declare that his alb lity is
named by sel6shness and characterized
by cunning. His followers have ex ted
bim as the ablest and most high.minded
statesman of the times; his cri les have
described him as most artful, sstute,
and unscruIu'ous politician. The truth
doubtless lies between the two extremes.
AdrOit, ingenious and wary, skillful to
plan and strong to execute, cautious in
ju igment and vigorous In action, tsci
turn and mysterious as rule, sndlyet
singularly open and frank on occasions,
resting on the old traditions yet lead
ing In new pathways, surprising In the
force Of his blows, and yet leaving a
sense Of his reserved power, Mr.. Tilden
uDquas.,1nably ranks among the great
est masters Of political management
that our day has seen.
