Lawyer ClapsaddIe is out again, after
severe illness. Part of the time the sick
man was out Of his head, and it took three
or four men to hold him. There is some
thing kind of strange about this business of
sshoiding1 a fellow when he is out of his
head. First some one discovers that a sick
mans mind is wandering. Then the watcher
GETS three or four others, and they gather
about the subject and lay hands on him.
The patient begins to haul and push, and
they brace themselves and hang on Ifthey

George was of an inventive turn of mind,
and used to be monkeying with some kind
of patent evenings after he had p eled his
royal robes. Most Of his patents related to
land, however, and some Of the most sue

by George.
He was always trying some scheme to
make a pile of money easy, so that he
wouldn't have to work; but he died poor
and crazy at last, in England. He was not
very smart, but he attended to business all
the time, and did not get up much Of rep
ptation as a moral leper. He said that as
king of Great Britain and general superin-

much noise, but he desired to attract uni
versal attention by being so moral that he
would be regarded as eccentric by other

Continuing the series of dramatic monographs
which he began last year with chronicle of the

now prepared charming little volume on

stage and collectors will be glad to know that the
enterprise is to rake in similar publications Oh

Samuel J. Tilden, one of the greatest
statesmen America has ever produced,
died at his country residence, Greystone,
neal New York City, yesterday morning
ct about half-past s o'clock. He was
born in New Lebanon, Columbia county,
N. Y, in 1914. His father was the in
innate friend and correspondent of Silas
Wright, Martin Van Buren,, Michael
Hoffman, the Livingstons, William l..
Marcy and other Democratic leaders and
statesmen, all of whom were frequent
visitors at his ever h~ospitable home.
Thus in his early youth the Usage OF
Grammercy Park" was inspired to be-
come a student Of the great questions OF
Government and political affairs by
familiarity and association with those
eminent statesmen, who were, in a great
degree, the means of determining his
profession and career. In many i'm.
portant political contests he took an
active and influential part. His ability
and honest alliances soon brought him
into full fellowship with all his fathers
distinguished friends. After a college
course at Yale and a study of law at the
University of New York he took an
active part in discussions Of matters OF
great and national import. His tend.
ency was always to secure the ends OF
justice, equity and social order. After
filling positions of trust and honor in
connection with the government Of New
York he was in November, 1874, elected
Governor of that State, receiving a ma.
jority of As, 765 over General Dix. AT
the Democratic National Convention,
held in st. Louis, Mo-, on the 9th, 2Sth
and goth of June, 1876, he was nomi.
mated for the highest office in the gift OF
the American people-the Presidency Of
the United States. The result of that
campaign is well known to every intel
ligent man and woman in the country.
That he was duly elected and afterwards
defrauded of the high Office is almost a
universal belief.
By the death of this eminent states
man the nation loses one of its best men.
In all the acts of his public life he mani
tested a generous largeness and states
manlike quality of mind, which natur'
ally led him to measure fairly the ma
terial interests of all classes Of his fell
low-citizens-the poor laborer, the hard
working mechanic and thrifty farmer, as
well as the capitalist. He was by nature
q mar of great gentleness and simplicity
Of character, and was exceedingly tender
and appreciative of the feelings and
rights of others, having a strong, ever
present consciousness OF what is right
and fair, which made him in the largest
sense q peace.maker and a wise pro-
moter of the best interests of all.
All honor to his remains, and when in.
tered may the earth rest lightly upon
them. The memory of such men never
dies. The loss ia national.

MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS.

The Indian. Appropriation bill which
became a law two months ago provided
for the appointment of a commission to
visit the various Indian reservations in
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
Washington, and negotiate with the In.
dams for the surrender to the United
States of q large portion of their lands.
The members of the commission, since
appointed by Secretary Lamar, are John
V. Wright, of Tennessee, Bishop II. b.
Whipple, of Minnesota, and Charles F.
Larrabee, of the Indian Office; and they
are expected to start West in a few days
on their mission.
The commission is instructed to enter
into no agreements without the full and
free consent of the Indians; and its work
must be approved by Congress before its
agreements take effect. 1t is believed
that most of these Indians have a good
deal more land than they need, and if
they can sell some of it they will be in a
better position to improve and cultivate
what is left. The Minnesota reservation,
for instance, contains thousands Of acres
of pine timber, which brings its posses
ors no revenue, while at the White
Earth reservation, to which it is pro-
posed to remove them, the land is very
productive.
In Montana, the Blackfeet, Piegans,
River Crows, Gros Ventres and Assini-
BONES own about %, 900, 900 acres-at
least 10, 600, 900 acres more, according to
the estimate of the Indian Office, than
they need; and a similar condition of
affairs exists in Washington Territory.
The presence Of such a mar as Bishop
Whipple on the commission insures per.
feet justice and equality in its dealings
with the Indians; and the most tender
hearted humanitarian need not fear that
this is another attempt to overrcach the
red men and get their lands for nothing.
If the commission is successful in the
negotiations-as there is every reason to
expect it will be-something like 40, 600.
600 acres of land will be thrown open
for settlement, some of which is covered
with good timber. and most of the rest
is capable of being made productive by
civilized culture.
