He was the profoundest political think
err and the ablest practical statesman of
his generation. He was the wisest Ameri-
can since jefferson. His writings and
speeches are more valuable to the student
of statecraft than Webster's. He was a
consummate administrator, and had he
chosen arms for profession, and had OPP
portunity offered, he would have been
great commander. He was genius, and
it was that virile order of genius that
comes from taking pains, and after vast
and stupendous labor. He was a sagacious
politician and matchess party leader.
He believed III organization and had the
patience that can wait. He was man
of the people-not a noisy and active and
vulgar and offensive demagogue, nor yet
the man of magnetism; men did not adore
him as they did Clay and Blaine, nor adj
mire him as they did Douglas and Brock
inridge; he never split the ears of the
eroundlings; but he believed in the peo-
pie and put his trust in them. He was an
infallible Judge of human nature, knew
men from crown to heel and could exactly
tell what every one who came under his
notice was fit for He never made mis-
take in dealing with individuals. Samuel
j. Tilden was a Democrat.
In his case nature seems to have played
one of her tricks. His was Il frall and
sickly body, and he never knew well
day from the time he was a child OF three
years And this was the tenement OF a
robust and commanding mind. Bonaparte
had the genius to concentrate his veterans
at the point of attack. That Is the secret
of T1lden's success as thnker-he
brought all the energies and all the re-
sources of his mind to the subject under
consideration. That is why his writings
and speeches are so valuable. No young
man who hopes to serve the State can
afford to neglect his published works
whether he agree with their preachments
or not. He had no vocabulary. He
CROPPED about for words. Language die
not pour from him as it does from Col
Bryan. or as it did from Senator Ingalls,
but you can readily understand him, fol
he never spoke unless he had something
to say, and he never said anything, no.
wrote anything, that his hearers or read
ers did not remember, reflect upon, ant
profit by.

Mr.. Tilden never had any boyhood. He
was a statesman ere he was twenty, and
a sage ere he was thirty. His father was
the friend and follower of Martin Van
Buren, and familiar of the famous AL
bany Regency, and thus the boy Tilden
was born into a political world. William
Cullen Bryant was surprised at the defer
ence the elder Tilden paid to the advices
of the boy i'm roundabouts, but came to
acknowledge the profoundities of his sug-
gestions. When he was a youth he wrote
a paper that was at once a campaign
tract, and so able was it that Thurlow
Weed laid its authorship at the door of
Martin Van Buren,. He never dreamed
that it was the production of young
man of eighteen, but from the day that
paper was first printed that boy was a
trusted adviser of that most sagacious
leader of great party and future Presi-
dent of the United States. A very great
curiosity IN literature is the chapter on
Experience in Vivian Grey" One won
ders how SO young man as Disraeli then
was could have written such philosophy
1t was nearly miracle that a young man
without experience could so brilliantly
define that which ordinary men can only
learn by years of observation, and-there
is no other word for it-experience. When
one reads the earlier political papers of
Samuel j. Tilden the same sort of won
der comes to him, and we ask where did
this boy get his wisdom?
Tflden began the study of the works of
Jefferson almost as soon as he learned to
read, and at his fathers house he met
and conferred with such leaders as Mar
tin Van Buren,, Silas Wright, William L.
Marcy, Edwin Croswell and Comptroller
Flagg The very atmosphere was redolent
OF politics, Democracy, and jefferson. All
these leaders consulted the boy and
weighed his suggestions He studied the
works OF Adam Smith, and that profound
thinker doubtless gave cast to his knowl-
edge of political economy. 1t is curious to
contemplate the tricks the tariff has play
ed many of our leaders Van Buren,,
Wright, and Tilden were all victims of it.
They were originally protectionists, and
Wright voted for 1.-The tariff of abomina-
ticns,' but all of them outgrew protection
and helped to shape the tariff policy of
the Democratic party on honest and CON
stltutional lines. When twenty four years
old young Tilden met in debate Nathaniel
F. Talmadge and completely discounted
him. Talmadge was leading Senator in
Congress and a very formidable debater,
but here he was completely ,overthrown
by young man the general public had
never heard of before
The Tildens came from Kent, and the
family is as Saxon as Cedric and can be
traced for many centuries. In 1884 Ma
thanlel TIlden came to America and set
tied IN Massachusetts, and from him the
future statesman descended. Samuel ].
Tilden was born February 9, 1914, the son
OF Elan Tilden and Polly Younglove
Jones. The child became an invalid at
three years of age and continued an in
valid until his death. some three-scnre and

AS soon as Tilden got out of politics his
enemies began to abuse the public pa
thence and disguest the public conscience
with praise of him.
His fame is the greater because of the
robbery. Intelligent generations yet to
be will ask, Why is not the name Of Sam
uel Jones Tilden among the names of the
American Presidents?
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-08-23

In 1876 the Democratic party nominated
this man for President and elected him.
There were 379 votes in the college, and
EOS OF them were right1ully Tilden's. But

GONE AFTER ROBBERS.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Three detectives
were sent to Iowa tonight by Chief
of Police O'Neil to search for the car
barn robbers. Information has been
received here that three men answer
ing the description of the robbers were
put off of passenger train near the
Iowa and Illinois boundary line early
yesterday morning. The men were
riding on the blind baggage, and when
ordered to leave the train threatened
to shoot the conductor, saying that
they had already killed one man during
the night.
The description of these men cor
responds with the men described by
Louder one of the suspects
now held for the crime. Louder it is
said, has confessed that he was impli-
Gated in the hold up. He admitted to
Chief O'Neill, it is said, that he was
watching for the police while his COM
panions were looting the Office of the
street car company.
Louder says the men are strangers to
him, and that he is unable to give their
names. According to Leaders, story, he
was to receive 81, 900 for his part in the
hold up, but says that the robbers gave
him nothing. The police are inclined to
doubt Leuder's confession.

not, although he was so much older.
Tell us how you play it," said the
twins, together, eager for some novelty.
"Well, it's a kind of tag. I'll be it,
and I'll start to run after you just the
same as 1 would in tag" AS he spoke.
the twins, who had been lying in the
hay, jumped to their feet and ran out of
the barn. Hold on" said Percy. II
must tell you something about it first.
AS l run after you | holler out letter
of the alphabet, like c, and then if you
think of an animal whose name begins
with c, and shout it, 1 can't take you;
but If you don't shout, then l tag you,
and you're it, and must run after the
others and holler out letter. 1t must
be some animal, or if you choose you
can call out flowers. But 1t must be
either animals or flowers or countries
or fruits; you mustn't mix 'em up in
the same game. Now you start and I'll
follow
II hope he says the same letter again,
because I've got a bully animal all
ready" said Herbert to Albert.
The boys had not run fifty feet before
they found that. whatever else Percy
could not do he certainly could run. He
was almost upon Herbert before he
shouted and then he yelled, "C!' as be-
fore.
Herbert waited until Percy reached
out his hand to tag, and then he shout

Tag" said Percy, with a burst of
laughter.

enough on him to call out &c"

risive laugh, Herbert closed on him
and tagged him.

caught if he spells that way" said
Bert, angrily. "G-p-o-ny pony. That's
dead easy" But again AL came up
They played the game for over an
hour. Sometimes even Percy did not
think fast enough or run fast enough
to avoid being it, and after q while
| they gave variety to the game by
changing to flowers; and there they
rather got the best of Percy, who was
not familiar with as many varieties
as the country boys were. Bert made
many laughable mistakes in spelling,
and AL gave "phlox' as a F flower.

sport they all went up in the hayloft

suffering and myself many slsepless
nights.
My baby was born seemingly fair,
healthy child, but when she was three
weeks old a swelling appeared on the
back OF her head, and in course of time
broke. 1t did not heal but grew worse,
and the sore spread from the size of
a dime to that of a dollar. used all
kinds Of remedies that could think of,
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and / feared it would
never grow again. 1t continued until
my aged father came on a visit, and
when he saw the baby he told me to
get Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment right away

surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has q nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
it returning"

DANISH WEST INDIES
SUBJECT OF REPORT.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-The National lei
tung says the Danish West Indian
Commission is said to have reported
as follows to Finance Minister Hage:
'The population of the islands is sat
isfied to remain under Danish rule.
The whites hope from the newly
awakened interest of Denmark in the
islands an improvement of economic
conditions and the fostering of civiliz-
ing influences. The negroes for the
greater part are Indifferent and know
but little about Denmark. The admin

be impractical and expensive, and the
hygienic conditions entirely unsatis

1t is believed, says the National lei

report in favor of reducing the military
establishment on the islands and re-
organizing the gendarmerie on modern
lines.
The belief is expressed that the ex-
ports of the islands can be developed,
and in this connection hopes are based
on the newly formed West Indian

known Heir Was Hinted at Some
Months Ago by Attorney Cannon.
san Francisco, Aug. 31.-What pur-
ports to be the last will and testament
of the late Charles L. Fair has made
its way through the United States mail
in a mysterious manner to the cham
hers of Superior Judge F. ]. Murasky,
and the document is now in the GUS
tody of the county clerk.
On opening it, Judge Murasky found
what purports to be will signed by
the late millionaire. Charles l.. Fair,
and witnessed by the late /. w. Lees
and w. H. L. Barnes. The document
was short and typewriter. Fairs sig
nature and that of the two alleged
witnesses were written in ink.
In this alleged will, Fair mentions his
son Charles j." and to him he be-
queaths the sum of $4,000 In addi-
ton to this bequest the sum of $3.50, 900
is bequeathed to 1.-THE Roman Catholic
orphan asylum" 100000 to Joseph
Harvey" and $4,000 to the city of
San Francisco, for the purpose OF
founding a hospital" The residue of
the testator's estate is left to his wife,
who is also named as executrix.
The mysteries of this purported will
are increased by the introduction of
an alleged heir, in the person of
Charles L. Fair. Jr. This heir was
limited at some months ago by Attor-
ney William Cannon, who stood spon-
sor for it, as entitled to a share of the
estate of the dead millionaire. That
child, however. was never produced in
the flesh and the attorney never dis
closed the identity of the mother.
Attorney Cannon, in an interview,
said of the alleged will:
Il believe it is fake and l will not
ask that it be admitted for probate. AS
far as the child of Charles L. Fair is
concerned, 1 have nothing further to
say at this time"
Attorneys and others interested in
the estate of the late Charles L. Fair,
in a measure, regard it as hoax.
