There is either a settled purpose to bring about his nomination, or there is something behind this keeping of his name so prominently before the people that the public do not understand. One day we have the positive assurance of om friend of his that he does not want the nomination, and under no circumstances would accept it, and the next day we are informed by some other friend that if he were called upon by the convention with anything like unanimity to take the colors he would regard it as a sum mons to duty, would sacrifice his private inclinations and feel it his duty to obey the call. That's all we know about his position, for so far he has made no positive declaration himself, one way or the other. He could under the circumstances speak with propriety, but maintains studied silence while all this discussion and speculation as to his attitude is going on. Lie is a close observer of passing events, he is watching the develop ments in both parties as from day to day they are cropping out; he is watching the drift of public senti ment in the Democratic party, and the probabilities are that he will be governed in his final action by the result of these observations. The indications all now point to the conclusion that Tilden can be nomi nated if he says so. On the part of the politicians, at least, this seems to be agreed upon, and politicians gen erally control conventions. We re spect Mr. Tilden, but confess that we cannot see wherein he has any strength that a number of other dis tinguished men in the Democratic party have not got. In 1S76 Tilden was a strong man, strong because he fldinJthe reform movement in New York, where his success gave him a national reputation, he was then also strong physically and mentally. In either of these latter respects he is not the man now he was then, and it is the merest nonsense to say that he is. Nearly ten years of time have laid heavy hand vpon him since, and in body he has suffered much from disease. The Tilden of to day is no more the Tilden of ten years ago than the shell is the kernel or the shadow ' the substance. Then he was the ideal reformer, inspiring not only respect but enthu siasm, and he got thousands of votes outside of his own party on account of his devotion to reform and his suc cess in reforming. He was physically sound, and could and did give hi3 personal supervision and attention to the work of the canvass from the greatest to the most minute details. He was thoroughly versed in the progress of the work in all parts of the country by the splendid system he put in operation. As an organizer he never, had a superior, and we doubt if this country evei saw his equal. But circumstances, times and he himself have changed sinfee then. There are now other issues besides reform, and he could not wage the single-issued fight he did then. He was then invulnerable, but since then the combination of events following his election to the Presidency has in volved him in such a way as that he would be put on the defen sive in explaining his attitude at that time. We refer to the cipher dispatches with which his name through his nephew Felton became connected and which would be renewed against him whether guilty or innocent of any evil action or intent. That has all been explain ed through legal investigation and Mr. Tilden's enemies have never been able to establish their charges, but they would revive them and they would be as effective among unin formed voters as if every one of them was true. It would be a cipher cam paign on the part of the Republicans, Instead of discussing live issues their papers would be filled with falsehood and ridicule, and in these days with the average multitude these are even more potent than solid argu, ment. We believe the nomination of Mr. Tilden will be a mistake. The New York Times refers to Col Cash as a sort of "robber baron," and as such "distinctively South Caro linian." In view of the stupendous steal of the Grant-Ward combination, and the colossal thieves that periodi cally turn up in Gotham, the Times ought to singr low on the robber theme. As a matter of fact, if al the thieves in the South wo v consoli dated they could not touch with a forty foot pole the average first class Wall street plunderer. The total decline in stock values in this country since 1881 ia put at $1,500,000,000. But it must be re membered that this was on the valua tion f watered stock, a fictitious The Macon, Ga., Telegraph styles the Prince of Wales the Sergeant Bates of Great Britain. Reducing and consolidating the in ternal revenue districts is the next best thing to abolishing the whole abominable system. Mr. Henry Ward Beecher, who finds time amid his clerical and other avocations to take a hand in politics, though a free trader, favor.? Arthur, who is a protectionist. Captain Nat. Atkinson, of Ashe ville, will shortly began the publica tion of a paper entitled, "The Land of the Sky," devoted to promoting immigration and the development of the Western portion of the State. New Yorljjflerald: Fifty-five and a half million dollars have been in vested in new manufactures and mines in the fourteen Southern States in thepastfour months. This is an obverse to the picture of financial depression that Wall street is exhibit ing. If there were no stock gambling and speculations iu futures there would be few financial panics. In the regular legitimate course of busi ness general disaster seldom comes. But when the speculator who controls the market goes down down with him. others go Sam Ward, the famous Washing ton lobbyist, died Monday in Italy, whither he hadjjone to recuperate. For many years he has been one of the most noted characters in Wash ington, and distinguished, among other things, for his wit and the superb dinners he used to give. Of the forty-one Democrats who voted against the Morrison bill thirty five came from the five States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and California, all of them doubtful States in the next Presiden tial contest, and casting not less than 106 of the 201 electoral votes needed to elect the next President. SAM WARD DEAD. A .11 an IV h Was Knowa as the Kins: of the Lobby and a Famcas Diner. Philadelphia Times. Sam Ward, who died in Pegli, Italy, Monday, did not long survive the final departure of his friend and fellow .Bohemian, the Chevalier Wi koff . They had many points in com mon, although Ward was much the stronger and finer type of man. Both inherited fortunes, which they scat tered with the lavishness and reck- essness of youth, both had travelled extensively and had seen much of the same order of society in the same countries and both had affected liter ature as a means of securing increas ed prominence and entrance" into circles otherwise closed to them. The likeness is increased by their death within a few days of each other. Samuel Ward, long known as "the King of the Lobby," with all his prominence and notoriety was the representative of four generations of strong men. His great great-grandfather, Richard Ward, and his great grandfather, Samuel Ward, were Governors of Rhode Island during Colonial times. His grandfather, Samuel Ward, was a gallant soldier of the Revolution and later a success ful I anker in New York, and h;'s father, Samuel Ward, became the successor ot the banking business and was a liberal benetactor of the liter ary and educational institutions of New York city. His sister, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, has made a place for herself in literature and current discussion. As for Sam Ward himself, with all nis family record behind him ; with wealth, leisure, education, tastes and every opportunity and incentive to surpass the past, he was content to be known as a king in the iobbv, a raconteur and as the writer of ama tory and drinking verses. The war period, which brought with it an un healthy development of the lobby all its opportunities and influences, forced dam Ward and his kind to the front. Schemes must find pro moters of every kind in order to assimilate to the tastes and demands of the varied classes of men who make up the Senate and House of Representatives. It was easy enough to find men who could ao tne vulgar bribery involved in the direct pur chase pt votes. Ii was scarcely more difficult to find women lobbists with a gif M or securing support for doubt ful measures. But it waa no easy task to find men skilled in lobbying as a fine art. Ward's power lay in his ability to reach those statesmen who are susceptmie to a story, or accounts of travel, a light specimen of verse making, or to the affectation of a knowledge ot literature, ward had all these accomplishments in a erood decree and tne skuI to use and adapt them to the advantage of- the lobby. But his main reliance was his power of appealing to the stom achs of statesmen susceptible to none of his other charms. In order to acauire this taste he made himself a close -tudeht of gastronomy in all its branches. His breakfast and luncn eons were as perfect as long study and experience could make them and were only surpassed by his dinners He was wont to boast that he had read carefully every ancient treatise on cookerv and that he could himself prepare all the more delicate dishes familiar to the epicure of every modern countrv. Thus armed he went to Washington each week in the winter in the interest of big schemes. He was never loud, never vulgar and never lost his head. No matter how plentiful or penetrating the wines, he was always sober, always ready with story, song, poem or narrative or adventures or travels, and the first the unsuspecting Con gressman knew Sam Ward had com mand of his vote or his absersce or his silence, all at the price of a -good dinner. With all these qualities and tastes he united an interest in younger men rarelv seen m men of his type, mat such a man should attain a degree of notoriety was only natural, but that he should have . secured any rea urominece or influence was impossi ble. To round out such a career and die at seventy is scarcely creditable to a man of such gifts and with pro genitors who lived useful lives and left honorable deeds as their portion to the world. Ward was twice married, the : first Astor, who died three vears later, and next to Miss Grymes. from whom he soon separated. Francis Marion Crawford, the author nf "MV and a large brood of other novels wicnin tne past, was launched bv Ward, who was his uncle. FACTS TOR COTTO.1 GROWERS. How to Increase the Yield Per Acre by a Jatficioas Selection el Seed. An interesting nanr was rpcflntw read before the Massachusetts institute or Technology by Mr. Thos Pray. Jr.. on the Rnbint, of the Wr. ton liure anu its structure, as shown by the microscope. A photograph was shown of a stalk carrying two iiuuureu ana twenty-nve ripened bolls; and it was stated, that by the method lately practiced, of develop ing this variety by carefully selecting uie beeus oi me uest ooils, and plant ing mem apart irom others, and con tinuing this process during several years, it had been conclusively prov ed that it was nrffVMo- nnaaililQ frv bring the yield of lowland cotton up to three bales per acre, with proper fertilization and favorable season; whereas, at present y kid of one bale pti- acre is very large, tne average baing less than one bale to two acres. In the method of ginning at preseut practiced, the seeds of all the differ ent varieties of cotton ginned are indiscriminately mixed; and the planter who brings his cotton to the gin, though receiving the same cotton back again, gets, for every bale gin ned, a certain number of bushels of this miscellaneous mixture of differ ent seeds, from which his next year's crop is planted.

A Great Lumber Blaze. London, May 22. The fire in the lumber yard of Messrs. Milnes & Aben is stated to be the most alarm ing conflagration ever known in this city. The open yard, covering some three acres of space, was filled with huge stocks ot sawn American tim ber, which formed a vast furnace. It is believed the fire will continue to burn for several days. Baldness may be avoided by the use of nail's Hair Renewer, which prevents the falling out of the hair, and stimulates it to renewed growth and luxuriance. It also restores faded or gray hair to Its original dark color, and radically cures nearly every Ulse;ise of the scalp. Filfc Cured Six Year Ago.
