TIE cox EuIoGrEs


The tributes which were delivered in
the House on Saturday to the worth and
fame of one Of the ablest, most widely
known and most popular of American
stattsn en- in recent times, were worthy
Of the occasion Addresses at such
times are apt TO verge on extravagant
and often meaningless laudation. But
those who spoke on Saturday in eulogy
of Mr.. Cox seemed to vie with each
other in truthfully expressing from diff
ferent standpoints their varying but
just estimates Of man to whose many
sided nature II is difficult to do justice.
Mr.. breckenridge truly said that the
eulogies uttered formed a mosaic por-
trait drawn by various hands. Each
speaker drew the particular feature he
best remembered. The portraiture thus
obtained could not fail to be in many
respects faithful, and while it is true
that few public men could have stood
such a test, ii is Mr.. CoX's crowning
praise that it required just such varied
appreciation to approach TO anything
like fidelity in the description of his
life and character.
AS fact, his was, in many respects,
a separate and unique personality.
Many men in public life are able, but,
with MIR. Cox's ability was blended an
an,winning geniality. which permitted
the full exercise of his powers without
producing any rancor. He was
scholar without pedantry, a profound
student without dullness, man of In
tellect without conceit. His political
partisanship grew out of intense con-
Viction, yet it was always exercised
without unfairness or intolerance. He
was patriot, yet his public service
WAS not dissipated into mere generali-
ties, but, perhaps, beyond that of any
of his contemporaries, sought to effect,
through special legislation, the benefit
Of special classes, and even individuals
needing special help and philanthropic
consideration, Thus the eulogies of
Saturday had TO make reference to the
varied virtues of the patriot, the
scholar, the humorist, the orator and
the philanthropist

ABOLISH THE SECRET SESSION.

Mr.. Dolph forced a vote ON his resolu
tion to punish certain newspaper men
for contempt of the Senate because they
would not disclose the sources of their
information in regard to executive ses-
sions. The vote stood 90 for and 35
against the resolution. 1t is believed
that this Is the end of this very ridiculous
farce, except as the ridicule It has
brought upon the secret executive ses.
sion tends to bring about the abolition
of this relic of an ignorant and semi
civilized age. The Senate should be
able to brast the bonds of this absurd
custom, and the Senators should be
neither dilatory nor bleit in so doing.

A NEW MA,JoH-cEsERaL

The President, in signing, on Satur-
day, the hill retiring General Fremont
as a Major General of the United States
Army, completed dilatory act of jus
tice to one of the most illustrious citi.
zens of the Republic. When one thinks
of the exploits of Fremont between ts42
and 1s4s-exploits so hardly and
bravely performed, whereby the vast
Western Territory of the county was
discovered, rs it were, and the imme-
diate possession of an Occidental En-
pire rendered possible--it will seem
strange that such immense pub
lie services should have gone so long
without substantial recognition.
The facts of his subsequent career
can only add to the wonder in the case.
In 1866 he was the standard bearer Of
the Republican party when first or
ganized for national ends, and though
he was defeated, the splendid campaign
in which he led gave assurance of the
subsequent successes of Lincoln and
Grant.
On the breaking out Of the war he
was one Of the first officers in the field,
and he was both courageous in battle
and wise in council.
The old soldier is now in his 18th

faction of knowing that his country

Of his declining years.
