1t seems III be conceded that Mr. Theodore
Roosevelt is To be appointed collector OF the
port OF New York, q I'D that Mr.. a rthur, the
pres ent iLcumbent, is to be appointed to a
foreign mission IN recognition. as is said, OF
the efficient manner IN which he dischargei
the dUfie> Of the place from VIII On he is TO be
virtually removed. That is a curious KIDD
OF civil service reform which requires that a
man shall be taken from one Office, for
which he is admitted TO be specially 1T, at
least by long experience, and put in another,
about the duties of which he knows nothing
at all, while man is TO be put in his place
who is in turn a stranger to all the duties he
Will be called upon to perform. This, to say
The least OF It, is hardly the sort or civil ser
vice Improvement that the country was led
10 expect. The popular view Of the case will
De very apt TO be that Mr.. Arthur should be
Kept where he is If he is a good officer, and ii
he is not, that he should not have any Office
at all.

Shall We Have an Obesisk {?

According to the New YORK World the Khe-
dive OF Egypt has signitied his willingness
to present to this country, or to the city OF
New York upon a proper application being
made 20 him, the noble obeiisk seventy feet
in height, which now stands SOLITARY and
alone" near the railway station of Ramlet,
at Alexandra. its companion having been
accepted by England, and provision made
for its transportation thlther by public
spirited Scottish gentleman. 1t Is further
stated that the enterprising contractors who
are bow conveying the English cbelis< to its
destination are prepared to agree 10 bring the
companion mOnOlith from Egypt 10 Amer
lea, and To erect ii in any site which may
be selected for IL at price not exceeding
sfOC C01, the whole risk OF the enterprise be
ing taken by them against deposit of the
sum agreed upon in the hands OF some lsad-
ing American banker.
Though the World speaks o. the coEtem-
plated gift as one To be made t. the city OF
New York, IL would seem more probable
that the khCGive has In view its pTeSent1-
tion TO the country and not to any particular
city, and in that case il should come TO the
National Capital. No doubt Congress would
appropriate the money requisite 10 secure
this superb historic monument.

The greater portion of the large eight page
Newcastle Chronicle of Sept. p is filed with
the description OF the reception given to
Gen. Grant at that place by the working
people OF Northern England. Eighty thou
sand people were out to welcome him, and
curious feature OF the procession was the
sections in which the delegations from the
different cOllieries appeared with marshals,
banners and notices. The various trade
unions were out in great strength. and the
devices and inscriptions upon their banners
were quite felicitous and appropriate. The
Tanners lin recognition of Gen. Grant as n
comradel carried a banner inscribed, ''Wcl-
come back, General Grant, from Arms 10
Arts, /" Let Us have peace; in their line
were carried seven bannerets OF dressed
leather, seslskin, sheep and calf of various
colors. and at the end of the procession was q
banneret bearing liz bold letters the words
Nothing like Leather" The wood workers
had some striking devices. Among them
was wooden pennOn with the motto cut
through most skillfully. This was followed
by banner of wood cut to exquisite fine
ness and bearing beautiful device COM
pounded OF the royal crown of England, the
English ard American flags, and an appro-
pirate inscription of welcome to Gen. Grant.
The wood moulders had device that elected
general admiration. IL was made up OF finely
cut SnaVinsS OF WOO1 IN tEe form or q can
ner, and with mahogany cuttings arranged
in the center 10 form the words in relief
90 Tyneside rejoices 10 see thee and " Well
come, Hero of Freedom" The j1ilers car
yied beautiful models of their wOr zmanship,
inscribed American timber aIG English
machinery" The painters deckei thair
banners in exquisite good taste with green
ferns arranged appropriately. Altogether
the designs and devices for the banners in
this procession seem 10 have been quite be-
yond the usual stereotype features OF such
affairs. AT Newcastle, as lsewhere In Eng
land, Gen. Grant seems 10 have found i'm
mense favor on account of his Great Britain
Gus face and figure. The Newcastle paper
says of his reception" Looking as much
like an ordinary Tyneside skipper as posi-
BILE, open browed, firm faced, bluff, honest
and unassuming, everybody at once settled
in his own mind that the General wolld do.
The cheers became warmer and warmer as
that quiet, strong, thoroughly British face
grew upon them; and as they increased
General Grant, who had at first merely
touched his hat to the multitude, barred his
head, as an unmistakable everybOdy-joln
Init 'hurrah" reared out from fifty thousand
throats and ratified up to the astonished birds
circling overhead"
