Tyler and Benton.

Washington Letter to the Cleveland Leader.l
 One of the most interesting of the old time takers at Washington is General John Tyler, the son or the President On one af- ternoon each week the Marine band now holds concerts for the general public in the White House grounds. General Tyler in forms me that he first introduced this GUS Rom, and that concerts used to be held there during his fathers administration every
 Wednesday afternoon. At these concerts the Senators and diplomats and the court so- ciety of Washington were present, and Clay, Calhoun and Webster might be seen walking arm in arm with distinguished ladies. Gen era1 Tyler says that his father did not at all like Tom Benton, and that he considered him both treacherous and dishonest. "When -Bentons Thirty Years View was first pub
 lished, |" says General Tyler, "Judge Halibur
 ton asked my father if he had read it. My father replied: I have not, sir, and it is a matter of the utmost indifference to me what Benton says about myself or my administra
 tion' Judge Halliburton said: But you ought to read the book, President Tyler I don't care to read it," was my fathers reply. Nevertheless said Judge Halliburton, q will bring the book to your room, the second volume, which relates to your administra- tion. and lay it on your desk. If you want to read it you can, if not you can leave it alone' He did so. My father picked up the book, and putting one finger on the leaf where Benton began to write of the Tyler administration, he turned over leaves after leaves until he came to the point where the administration of Polk began. He then picked up the book, keeping his fingers at the beginning and end of the parts relating to him. He thus carried the book to Judge Halliburton, not having read line of it, and said, I find, Judge, that Benton told the history of five administrations in this vol ume, and that he has devoted more than half of his space to mine. It is enough for me to know that he appreciated the importance of it; and I do not care to read what he thinks about it. With that he gave the book to Halliburton. If you will look at Benton's Thirty Years View you will find that it's second volume deals with the ad- ministrations from Martin Van Buren to Pierce, and it contains seven hundred and eighty eight pages; four hundred and twen- ty-nine of these pages are devoted to the ad- ministration of President Tyler"

It is all very well to talk about extermin- ating the English sparrow, but the cheerful little rascal will not be exterminated if he can help it. About a year ago one of the conductors of the Boston and Albany rail road who is noted for his dexterity with the shotgun undertook the task of freeing the union station in Worcester from the spar rows that infested the place in large num- bers Up to date he has kilisd 790 of the belligerent, cheery and fecund birds, and in- tends to leave off the sport when he has bagged a round 800. All the same, sparrows are to be found lowering near by, and stir ring chatter is still heard in out of the way corners of the roof above the offices.
 The New York Tribune asks, Will not they (the workingmen) learn the lesson that even the selfish interests of any shrewd business man as an employer make him truer friend to workingmen than such g self-seeking dem agogue as Irons2 and continues: The workers ought not to depend on the friendship or the leadership of anybody. They ought to de- pend upon and be ruled by themselves. But if they are at any time obliged to unite for their own interests against employers, they should make it the first condition that no labor agitator shall have any control of their movements. Better yet, may not the men learn that any plan is radically wrong and pernicious which involves surrender of per sonal freedom to any organization for any pretended purposea Had the workers of the Southwest jealously retained and guarded their own freedom, had they refused to be forced into strike which their own judg ment did not approve, had they counted it disgrace to countenance or tolerate any of fence against the law, had they held it crimi- nal, as it is, to rob any other worker of his freedom to choose and to work, the terrible losses which they have sustained would never have come upon them.

 something incredible. I have never seen man caught in 8 sink-bole, but I have seen man ride to the edge of one, dis cover it too late to turn his horse, and shaking himself loose in the saddle, vault over the horn-pommel, when the pony was caught, striking the ground far beyond the s1nk-hole. There were twenty men there and before the horse had sunk far there were half dozen ropes fast to him. Half dozen strong ponies can pull almost any thing, but they could not draw that horse back from the grave that was closing over him: There is a strange suction about this alkaii mud-it holds all it's grasps with hor- rible pertinacity.

ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK,
Tuesday, May 25, 1886.

RESPIRATION IN NEW YORK.
 The law which is intended to go ye1n arbi- tration between employers and employees in New York provides for the submission of labor disputes to a board of arbitration, two members to be chosen by either side and the four thus chosen to select fifth to act as chairman. The board thus constituted, on being approved by county judge, is to have power to administer oaths and send for per- sons and papers. From the decision of this board there can be an appeal to State board of arbitration, to consist of three competent persons to be appointed by the governor, one from each of the great parties, and one from the labor organizations. The decision of this board on the appeal is to ''be final and con- elusive in the premises on" both parties to the arbitration.
 Whether or not this arrangement will be 8 useful one remains to be seen. It does not look very promising. Of course much de- bends upon the men appointed by the gov ernor as members of the State board. Those who have been appointed are thus described by the New York Evening Post: The repre- sentative of labor is MT. Donovan, e very ac- tive organizer of sflocal assemblies" among the Knights of Labor, who, like most of these organizers, is probably much more interested in stirring up strife than in allaying it, and does not seem, although a printer by trade, to have won distinction in any regular indus try. Another is MT. Purcell, the editor of the Rochester Union, very scurrilous Dem ocratic newspaper, who bolted Cleveland's nomination and had to go to Europe during the canvass to the amusement of his readers because the candidate was not "mora' enough for him. The third, MT. Robertson, is thorough-goin Republican politician, famous only in politics" by which, we be- ieve, he gets his living.
 The salary of member of the State board is three thousand dollars year and this sal ary will probably be easily earned. It is pity that the experiment of arbitration could not have been begun in New York in a way that would have secured it at least fair trial

Some old Opinions on Property. rNfr A,drav ano in r TonSmau,s Maoazine I

MT. Andrew Lang III LOnSmahS MaSaZinel
 In an age so vexed by the problem of property, and so expert in the historic meth cd, it seems strange that TO one writes history of property and examines the reme- dies proposed attempted in the past. Plenty of schemes for dividing the wealth of the rich among the poor, plenty of theories of "ransom," of "expropriation" and the like are now discussed in England, France and Germany. But few persons appear to remember that of Aristotle: 'In the remote ages gone by it is probable that all of these expedients have been tried, not once, but many times" In the experience of the race the question of property and poverty has constantly recurred, of course under con stantly varying social conditions. What remedies have been sought out by human in genuity? Why, nearly all conceivable reme dies, including three acres with or without COW. Ges anadasmos, the repartition of landed property, was favorite party cry in ancient Greece, and we all know how those advanced Liberals, the Gracehi, fared and failed in Rome. If it were true that
 old experience might attain
 To something like prophetic strain,
 the sseId experience" of Aristotle should be 'ssomething like" Probably the Greek of many members of Parliament and of Com rades Queleh and Hyndman is little rusty, but they might out of mere curiosity see what the ancient anti-communist had to say for himself, and against Comrade Plato, in the Master of Balliols version of the "Poli- ties" As for Communism, the Master (Aris totle, not MT. Jowett) says frankly that it is opposed to human nature: in fact f'impossi bic and not to be done'' ''The remedy for such evils is not so much to equalize proper ty as to train the nobler natures not to de- sire more and" (which is more feasible) Ito prevent the lower from getting it." Aristo- tie perceived, with very great clearness, that any attempt to deal with property must be backed by legislation about population. Now it is obvious to every student of the subject that the classes which most desire to limit property are most active, where population is concerned, in unlimited addition. Even to him, therefore, it will be plain that dras tic legislation on this subject is contrary to human nature" in a double sense. But ar gument on this is of little avail.
 To Comrade Kall Marx and Comrade Champion and all the comrades, one may say what Aristotle said to Comrade Plato, ''Such legislation" (for equality in property) lence; men readily listen to it and are easily induced to believe that in some wonderful manner everybody will become everybody's friend, especially whan some one" (Comrade Rlato fearl lis heard denouneing the evils now existing in States, which are said to arise out of the possession of private property. These evils, however, are due to very different cause.-the wickedness of human nature" Or, let us say, to human nature without the wickedness. Nor can the

The ranks of the polygamists, well as those of the anarchists, are recruited from abroad. Of the seventy-seven persons in- carcerated in the Utah penitentiary for polygamous practices twenty-two are native Americans, thirty-ive Englishmen, ten Scotchmen, two Irishmen and two Swedes.
 The aggregate of losses caused by the re- cent labor troubles is set at $50, 300, ,000. This is distributed, in round numbers, as $3, 100000 in wages which 250, 900 strikers threw away, $2, 300, GOO sacrificed through in- terruption to the business of employers, S1 400, GOO lost in deferred industrial con tracts, and S2O, 400, 900 in building contracts alone. And it is not believed that these are high estimates.
 A large business in sea shells is carried on in California, on whose coast shells are gath cred and then shipped to Europe. One firm has a contract to ship forty tons of shells every sixty days. They are worth from $700 to $1, ,000 ton. They are used in all kinds of decorative industries, returning to the United States from France vastly increased in price, when transformed into pearl but tons, brooches, shawl clasps, knife handles, or inlaid work. Tahita shells, large flat mother-of-pearl shells, are worth from $1.60 to $4 each, and the finest selected pairs are sometimes sold for as much as $50.

being as they are, is to put the Agricuitu-
raj and Mechanical college under the man
agement of the regents, and let them APP
portion the income for the best interests
of all concerned. 1t is silly to say that
the regents would discriminate against the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
They are appointed by the governor, by
and with the approval of the senate, and
are representative men, selected from all
parts of the state. They are responsible
to the people for the discharge of their
trust, which is the establishment and
maintenance of a university of the first
class. To express fear of such body OF
men, is to disclose the consciousness of a
bad cause; of cause inconsistent with
the duties a regent assumes
He admits that it has an income from
another source, but he cannot see, if it is
under the control of the regents, how they
would divert that income into other chan
nel5 than those contemplated when the
college was established.

THE CONTEST IS ENDED.

The great strike is ended at last. The
battle Is over. Capital has won. 1t al
ways does. Such is the lesson of history
The, cannon have belched forth their thun-
ders on both sides. Brilliant and in
trepid charges have been made, first from
one side and then from the other. Each
side rallied well its forces. But the labor
legions have been finally defeated and
driven off the field. A few parting shots
are fired by the retreating forces of Pow
derby and Irons. Jay Gould holds the
field and is complete master of the situa-
ton As the spears and bucklers of the
Knights cast parting CLEAN on the
scene of the late fight, it may be inquired
what have they gained by defeat? What
would they have gained had they won the
fight? Echo answers, nothing. In the
meantime some of the leaders retire
with pockets well filled from Wall street.
Their dupe-the poor labOrer-goes back
to his starving home with never nickle
for his stupidity in being made the tool
of sharp scoundrels who ought to be in
the penitentiary.

be molested in any possible way, not even
ostracised socially,
They could not have done so before the
war. and it is an evidence that the south
has fully adjusted itself to the new order
of affairs and recognizes fully that the
old issues between the sections do not
exist. The south, perhaps, has not for
given, but it amounts to the same thing,
it has forgotten to hold individuals respon-
sible for the war, and the south admits
northern men on a perfect political and
social equality into her borders.
1t is also true that the north does not
entertain the same opinions about
the south that their people did
before the war and the people of both sec
tions are becoming every day more homo
geneous and more readily adapt them
selves to each other.
There is no reason in the world that this
obnoxious statute should find a place in
the laws of the United States, and it ought
at once to be expunged from the books.
The man who would encourage feelings of
animosity between the sections is unfit for
trust in any office in the country, and this
is humiliation, a bar sinister, that is
proscriptive and offensive, and is without
reason or parallel in all the other relative
laws. 1t is the last invidious distinction
drawn against the south by the laws of
the land. Let it at once be consigned to a
dishonored grave.

JUDGE TERRELL'S SPEECH.

Judge A. w. Terrell, at the solicitation
of number of the citizens of this city
delivered an address last night at Millett's
opera house, to very large and interest
ed audience, which accorded him marked
attention, with frequent appreciation in
applause.
The speech was calm, just and fair ex
position of his views on the question agi-
tating the public mind. The argument
was clear and forcible, remarkable for
Its originality of thought, and
Will leave profound i'm
preston on all who heard it and all
who will read it. We publish the speech
in full elsewhere, and commend it to the
careful perusal of the readers of The
STATESMAN.
In all the agitating controversies that
perplex the public mind and array labor
against capital and capital against labor,
Judge Terrell found consolation in the
conservative masses, of the farming pop.
ulation of the country, which numbered
in Texas about twenty to one of all
other occupations. While he did not
countenance communism and violence,
he declared all men had a right to stop
work and use morpl suasion or argument
to persuade others to stop work.
AT the same time he arraigned the rail
road companies for corporate greed, and
recommended state commission, with
representative of labor as one of its mem
bers to arbitrate, by law, all question of
wages.
1t would be impossible 20 give even an
idea of the speech editorially, and as it
will be read, it would be useless. Let
everyone read the speech.
