SAMUEL J. TlLDEN.
DECEASED STATESMAN AND PO11T1rAN

-:O:-
Without distinction of party the
American people mourn the loss Of
Samuel J. Tilden, who died at Grew
stone, his beautiful country seat OH the
Hudson, on the morning Of August 4.
Samuel Jones Tilden was born in New
Lebanon, Columbia County, New York.
February 8, 1914. His father was a
farmer and merchant residing in that
place. As boy he was of an eminently
studious disposition, and he was given q
collegiate education. His course at
Yale was interrupted by sickness. and
he completed his studies as an under
graduate at tho University of New York,
Seven years after graduation he was
admitted to the bar, and opened an office
in New York. In 1874 he Invested capt.
tai in and edited tho .Mo,9iny Ne~x. O.
newspaper founded to support the can
didacy of Mr.. Polk for the Presidency.
\ year after he was elected to the New
York Assembly, and in 1886 was made a
member OF the Finance and Canal COM
mittces OF the State Constitutional Con-
Ncntlon. Mr.. Iilden was defeated as
candidate for Acknowledgement Of the
State in 1866. He was made Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee in 1860.
By that time he had earned for himself a
great reputation as q lawyer, having
appeared with distinction in some most
important cases. He was a leader in
the organization of the "Bar Associa-
tion, lS6?-70. During tho following two
years he devoted much time and energy
to the exposure Of the Tweed II ny, in
New York. He was elected to the New
York Assembly in 1872, and in 1874,
Governor Of his State. His admin stra-
tion resulted in the overthrow of tho
Canal Ring.
The National Democratic Convention
OF 1876. hich met at st. Louis, nomi-
mated him for the Presidency. An elec-
ton with disputed result followed tic
ensuing campaign, in which Mr.. Hayes
was the Republican candidate, and an
Electoral Commission was created by
congress to settle the difficulty. The
Presidency was given to Mr.. Hayes. Mr.,

..strikes" ought to be considered and
acted upon by every intelligent work
ingman. His views are practical and

that many Of The "strikes" bow in

aud that in GiEe cases cut of ten a

and patience. be expresses himself en-
phatically in favor of arbitration, and
adds:
.'The Knights of Labor and other la
Dor organizations in sympathy with
its plans, constitute 1T the present
time the most powerful organiza-
tion of workingmen ever known
in The history of the world.
Its strength is Increasing every

in every branch of trade in this coun-
try. IL is dangerous to abuse this
power. Is can always Insist upon just
demands carefully considered and
thoroughly digested. 1t cannot
afford TO fritter itself away upon every
little pretcnce of wrong, arrogantly
formulated and pigheadedly insisted
upon. The growth of the power of
la Dor should be an occasion for DELHI
Grafton and moderation. The work
ingmen should he careful TO see TO it
that they do not sap and undermine
their strength by extreme demands
pand unreasonable assumption of i'm
portancc aud power. Ii is, a. some
one has said before me. a good thing
to have the power of giant, but it is
an evil thing to use j; like a giant. Ii
was the disposition on the part of the
employer to refuse 10 treat with
his workmen that made the Ia
Dor organization necessity TO
them. Now that we have the power
which comes from organization we
must use that power wisely and
moderately, and be careful that we do
not change position with The en-
pioyer, and refuse 10 treat with him
except at the point of the pisiol-or
the strike. which is about the same
thing. A strike should he the last re-
sort when every thing else has failed,
and not an every day expedient which
used as such, loses lis power as il in

EMINENTLY CORRECT.

The Wellington Democrat says tina;
The woman suffrage proposition was
kicked out of The legislature because
it was a movement in the interest of
st. John and his third party. That
is the Lords holy truth. St. John is
dead duck and anything in his inter-
est will die the death. He has no fol-
lowing of men, and unless some law is
enacted giving the right of suffrage TO
lonely and cranky Old women who
have no families 10 care for, he will be
forever without party. Ii the
women really desire to vote. the hes.
thing they can do is 10 keep so clear
of st. John that there cannot even be
a suspicion that they are his follow
ers: and they should do it mighty
soon. too. For. so long as st. John
lives or women evince a hankeriug
after him, so long will womsn suffrage
be a hopeless issue. st. John is with
the dead. and kills what he touches.
He is alkili. and anything that seeks
nourishment from him finds death.

THE ROCK ISLAND LINE.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March Sin a
short time the management of the
Chicago, Rock Island aud Pacific rail-
road will submit a proposition 10 the
citizers OF st. Joseph TO this effect:
II the citizens OF this place will SUBJ
scribe $500. 900 worth of stock, the
Rock Island company will build two
extensions west from St. Joseph, one
10 run in a northwesterly direction
through the northern tier of counties
in Kansas into Nebraska and the 9TH
er 10 run in sOuth9as,erly direction
through kaasas down into the Indian
territory. The las. named route will
cover the survey formerly made for
the proposed st. Joseph and Rio
Grande railroad. Each of the eyten-
sious is TO be 500 mise in length. The
extension will be known as the Chica-
go, Kansas and Nebraska railroad. In
the event that these lines are built. of
which there is hardly doubt, it will
necessitate the building of another
railroad bridge across the Missouri;
river al this place. The question as
to where the Rock Island road would
most likely cross the river, which has
excited the people of the Missouri
valley so much within the past few
months, may now be considered as
practically settled.

our people are after. They are deter
mined to be rich by hook or crook,
aud are willing to sacrifice almost
everything to accomplish it.
There are many crying evils result
ing from this absorption of the whole
man, in the race for money. One is
the neglect of his children by the
father. There are many men SO over
burdened with business that they
rarely see their children in their wax
ing hours, except on Sunday. They
sometimes even need an introduction,
when meeting them on the street.
The children we not only scarcely
know by sight, but there is no ac-
quaintance whatever with the charac-
ter of their minds. The fathers do not
know what their mental or moral
growth needs, cultivating and forcing
or what demands dwarfing or cutting
up by the roots. The Training
of children ought not to be
left entirely to the mother, even
though she be the most competent of
the two in most respects, to discharge
this duty. Most nobly do the mothers
attempt to supply the DEFICIENCIES of
the fathers in this regard, and were il
not for their self-sacrjficing labors and
untiring devotion in the training of
their little ones, the race would rap
idly degenerate. But il is impossible
for many mothers to devote the time
needful for this work. They need the
aid of the father. He exerts an in
fluence peculiar to himseif-it inheres
in the sex. The mother does not and
cannot possess it. Every child re-
qnires just this influence, and is
wronged if he does not receive it. He
is deprived of something essential to
mis- high development. The parents
must conjoin their efforts in the train
ing of their children if they would
bring out what is noblest aud best in
them. Amy amount of wealth left 10
4 child VIII never compensate for the
lack of loving, wise, persistent train
ing by the father.
Ii parents really desire 10 have their
children fitted to perform well all
their duties as man and woman, they
must devote time for their training
when young, and the father should
remember that he is constituted the
head of the family. In him is the
supreme authority vested, and he is
made responsible for its enforcement
in his household. Throwing this re-
sponsibility ON the mother does not in
the least relieve him. That he NAV
govern his children wisely and well he
should have more than a passing
acquaintance with them. lie should
study their individual characters from
earliest infancy. He should have a
thorough knowledge of their diJposi-
tons, the trend of their minds. the
strength of their passions, their firm
ness of will, the temptations most
likely 10 assail them, &c, sc. With
out this intimate acquaintance, no
man can give his children the training
that is best for them. Our aim should
be to make our children our superiors.
In this way only can the race be
improved, and we accomplish one
great end of our being. Devote.
therefore, less time to money making,
and more to the training of the child
