DEATH or :. :. cox.

The Chicago Evening Journal pays the
following tribute TO the memory Of the
late S. S. Cox. The Journal says The
death Of Congressman S. S. Cox will be
sincerely lamented by his political friends
and his political opponents alike, and by
the great American public He was an
honest yet an expert politician. He was
so thoroughly reputable, his kindness OF
heart was so thorough and 30 universal. he
was so totally devoid Of jealousy, Of mar
rowness, Of deceit, Of assumption and Of
meanness generally that everything which
did that was either serious or comic was he
estimated at its very best, or perhaps more
highly than its actual value In the curl
Gus character Of a humorist among states
men and Of "a statesman among humorists
though he was not much Of either he
acquired a singular prominence before
the public and the general good will
of everybody which nobody envied him,
but which all aided to establish
and confirm. Mr.. Cox never received
from the Democratic party that to which,
by his integrity, his ability and his deyo-
ton 10 its Interests, he was entitled He
contributed greatly to the general sum of
its responsibility, but he was passed by
for men far less respectable and deserving.
Mr.. Cox's jokes were generally carefully
studied, or were very poor, or were chest
nuts But any sembImce Of humor in a
Congressman, especially if sustained
through long years Of otherwise ardous and
valuable service, is so uncommon that his
jesting moods were regarded as inspira-
tions. His reputation as a wit did not
grow ont Of the excellence Of his wit, but
from the fact that Congressman and
politician should have wit Of amy kind. In
his domestic life, Mr.. Cox was one Of the
happiest Of men His wife had great
wealth, which she freely used to serve tine
purpose,of his ambition; but though she
owned the money in the family, she was
most devoted TO him in her affections,
regarding his personal merits as placing
him in the superiority over her and her
money. They were equally and lovingly
yokcd and were model, of married lovers
and friends The death Of Samuel sullivan
Cox is loss alike to his friends, his family,
his party, and the country
