In the death of the Hon. Samuel
j. Tilden the nation loses one of
its greatest statesmen, the Demo-
cratic party one of its two greatest
leaders, and the State and city of
New York the man who had done
most for their administrative re-
form. Gov. Tilden was in the
finance committees of the State
Constitutional Convention of 1916
and 1847, and had exercised a wide
influence in the Legislative coun-
sells; but it was not till the times
of the Tweed rascality that he
became famous. He threw himself
Tito the work of political regenera-
ton with the might of a man of
mature years and aided by q quar-
ter of a century of political expe-
rience he made himself power
for good in the cleansing of the
city. This lifted him almost inn
mediately to the gubernatorial POI
sition, where he again made him.
self feared and respected by his
steadfast fighting against corrup-
ton. The national consciousness
of the need of this man to purify
the National Administration next
elected him to the Presidency, but
he was despoiled of the position
by an unworthy expedient OF q
rapidly decaying political party
the Electoral Commission, through
the establishment Of which Con-
gress ignominiously vacated its
prerogative and avoided its duty
of declaring the results of the
Presidential election. =
He had the insight to select the
pressing points of political neces-
sity, and to set them forward with
plainness of speech and straight
ness of shape. Observe that these
points are all related to the mate
rial welfare and progress Of the
nation. It is perfectly clear in
every case but the last, and q little
reflection will show that q rotten
civil service is a perpetual drag ON
the prosperity Of the people by
reason Of the badness of its ex-
ample and corrupt influence it
exerts, to say nothing of its drain
on the treasury.
Speaking of the necessity Of re-
stricting expenditures and pointing
out that it would be resisted at
every step, he said: I'm my jadg-
ment an amendment of the constl-
tuition ought to be devised sepa-
rating into distinct bills the appro-
priations for the various depart
ments of the public service, and
excluding from each bill all appro-
priations for other objects and all
independent legislation" This
shows how intensely practical was
his mind. The principal difficulty
in the way of moderation in appro-
priations has always been the
aggregation of diverse matters in
one bill, and the placing of riders
on bills carrying important appro-

GRAND REUNION
OF Confederate and Union veter-
ans-i0o0 Guests Enjoy the
hospitality Of Liberal
Community.

In answer to the invitation ex-
tended to the veterans Of the late
war and the public generally by the
citizens of.Montgomery and vicini-
ty, on last Tuesday, 10th instant,
fully 1900 persons congregated in
that town to witness and take part
in the reunion Of Northern and
Southern soldiers. The ceremo-
MES were conducted with order and
precision throughout the day, and
the best of good will was mani
tested by all, not one single instance
of rowdyism or drunkenness occur
ring to mar the occasion. Between
daylight and sunrise the booming
of cannon announced the anniver-
sary and initiated the awakening of
the VIM Rifles and Beauregard
Invincibles on that memorable 10th
of August rs years ago, when
they received their baptism in fire
and blood at Oak Hill. At 10
o'clock about $50 veterans fell into
line in the public square under the
marshalship of Major 81. v. Nc
Cain, with w. T. Barrett and /. n.
Hicks as color bearers, and marched
to the grove where platform had
been erected and the barbecue was
being prepared The Natchitoches
brass band was in attendance and
added a great deal to the interest
of the day by their excellent music.
One of the greatest pleasures
afforded some of the veterans was
the sight of the old regimental
colors of the 18th La Infantry.
This flag was obtained through
Capt. Chas. W. Drown, Of the
Continental Guards, to whom ap-
plication had been made for some
old Confederate flag to be used on
the occasion Upon requisition
being made at Washington for such
a flag our Secretary of. War ex-
tended the neat compliment of
lending them the identical flag un-
der which they organized, followed
the vicissitudes of war, and finally
surrendered. AS a matter of in
terest we give the
HISTORY OF THE FLAG.

ANOTHER BAPTIST CHURCH
Put Into Service of the LOrd--SOme
thing of ITS Pastor.

The Baptist denomination is excelling In
Minneapolis in the matter of handsome
church buildings, evidencing the growth
and general prosperity of this powerful
sect. Three of the finest temples in the
city were erected by them last season, the
First. corner of Tenth and Harmon Place;
Olivet, on the East side, Fifth street and
Ninth avenue southeast, and Emmanuel, on
Bloomington avenue and Twenty-third
street, all of which have been fully de-
scribed in the GLOBE. The Emmanuel
church was formally dedicated to the wor-
ship Of the Almighty yesterday afternoon,

weather, the handsome editice held large

and laymen from other portions of the
city. The program as published yesterday
was fully carried out Rev. p. S. Henson,
pastor of the First Baptist church of Chi
cago and editor of the Baptist Teacher,
preached masterful sermon. An interest
ing history of the formation three years ago
of the Emmanuel congregation was given BY
Rev. n. c. Wood of st. Paul and Rev. +.
Il. Gates delivered fine address. showing
how the history of the past was great in
spiration to activity and effort at this time.
The best of music was furnished by the
choir.
Rev. ID. d. McLauren, the pastor and
head of the church, Is one of those sturdy,
energetic Scotchmen (by descent, though
born in Canada), who force success in all
undertakings. His is the perfect manhood
which grew out of a wild and Maynard
youth after a severe struggle. He was
converted, entered the ministry and is a
remarkably forcible and successful preacher.
He breaches without pulpit and never
uses note. He talks right to the people,
and in such manner that his words carry
conviction with them. He passes most of
his time, when not engaged in missionary
work Of some character. in his study, where
he has valuable library of 1000 volumes,
a gift from DR.. Wright upon his death in
1879. Among the collection are several
works now out of print, which renders
them very valuable.
