Grant and Mexico.

Since the eradication of the revolu-
tionary spirit and the return of peace and
prosperity to that hitherto afflicted coun-
try, there have been numerous claimants
in this country for the honor, so to speak,
of having discovered Mexico. General
Grant seems to labor under the delusion
that he did it even so late as one year
and a half ago. 1t was not until he
had read from intelligent sources COM
mercial articles on Mexico that
he became fully impressed with
the Importance of that country, and the
fact it can and will produce all the cof-
fees, sugars, tobacco and tropical fruits
for which we pay to Brazil and Cuba
more than $4,000, 900 annually. 1t is
gratifying to know that he adds the
weight of his name to the views pub
lished years ago, but it would be unjust
and unfair to General Grant himself and
contrary to facts, if we were to concur
with him in the claim that Mexico did
not begin to regenerate until his very re-
cent visit.
Gen. Grant has high military reputa-
ton, and he is entitled to that peculiar
respect which follows in the wake of
success; but when he claims originality
where he is but an ordinary imitator, or
discovery when he is but shrewd fol
lower in the path of the pioneer, he
simply does himself and his reputation
serious injustice, if not grave injury.
He has been successfully used as
a figure-head by shrewd capitalists,
who have, under cover of his name,
made profitable investments in Mex
leo. He has been paraded before
the Mexican Congress, press and people
as one whose friendship it would be
dangerous to forfeit, because of his
power to WELD the people of the United
States ard mould public opinion to suit
himself especially in regard to Mexico
and Mexican affairs. Thus were the
unsophisticated Mexicans over-awed into
granting the valuable concessions which
he was sent into Mexico to ac-
quire. 1t is just as well to note the
truth in this connection. The real actor
in Grants so-called Mexican successes is
not Grant at all; it is the Hon. M. Ro-
nero, who held up the hands of Ulysses
to the contributorY admiration of a
people who were told that he was the
greatest of living men, and that his frown
was equivalent to the humiliation of an
entire nationality
We read from time to time in the pa
ders of Mexico of the interest Gen. Grant
is taking in this or that section, this or
that enterprise, and the simple-minded
authors forthwith begin series of lauda-
tions of Grants magnanimity, generosi-
ty, etc. These people may as well disa-
buse themselves. Gen. Grant is work
ing for the Mexicans with the same de-
gree of interest and the same sordid and
selfish motives that induced him to blast
his political reputation in desperate at
tempt to foist himself upon the people
during the last political campaign.

Mr.. CoNKLNG.-Mr. Conkling is a
man of courage and ability, who can
look facts in the face, and he may deem
it wiser on all accounts to keep in the
background for a while and work from
behind the throne which he has reared
But that he means to be felt in the new
administration and that he will work
with it or through it with the same fear.
less loyalty to the interests of General
Grant and the 1906" of Chicago which
commanded the admiration there even Of
his opponents, cannot be doubted by any
man of sense. As little can it be doubt
ed by any man of sense that President
Arthur will keep his faith with those
who fought with him for General Grant
at Chicago, and that he will make no
terms with any recreant stalwarts who
skulked or hid during the struggle at
Albany.-AeD York World.

A CARGO OF HUMAN BoNEs.-A
special from London says: A great SEN
sation was caused at Bristol by the dis
covery of a cargo of three hundred tons
of human bones being discharged there
to the order of local firm engaged in
manufacturing manure. The bones were
shipped from Rodosto, at Constantine
pie, and are supposed to be the remains
principally of the defenders of Plevna.
There are complete limbs among the
horrible cargo, and in some cases the
hair still adheres to the skulls. Peter
Cooper says it is a common thing among
the British to buy human bones. in
fact they will take all they can get at
any time and from any part of the world
They use them for manuring their
lands. l have often heard it SAID that
England was manured with bones taken
from the battle field of Waterloo. There
is no finer to be had"

LONDON, September 3O.-The Manchester
Guardian, in its commercial article this
morning, says: "There is no appreciable
change. The tone of the market is dull,
and business is poor. China merchants are
doing very little, although they
occasionally offer orders for par
ticular descriptions but at
such low prices that they rarely lead to
business. In other directions small but
occasionally rather numerous sales are re-
ported for early delivery at Tuesdays prices.
The inclination to buy speculatively has
rarely been weaker, and the caution of
BUYERS is very conspicuous

Committee.

LONDON, September 30.-In Mincing Lane
markets during the past week, coffee was
very dull, with decline In several cases Of
l to 2s., including common to medium
plantation Ceylon. Sugar was steadier and
influenced by the improvement IN refined
and by the large deliveries. Good West In
dies was slightly dearer. The brown
descriptions are unchanged, but at
tract increased attention. The demand
for China tea has further increased. India
was well competed for, and prices of low to
medium are better. Burmah rice cargoes
were slow OF sale. Spice sales were slow.
Zanzibar cloves were easier. Black pepper
was dull to arrive, and prices were lower.
White pepper was quiet and easier.

A WARNING.-The "stalwart" New
York Commercial Adoertiser says: s'Mr.
Arthur is the President, and will carve
out his own way. If factionists in this
State persist in keeping up divisions in
the party, that is their affair; but if they
suddenly find themselves dumped over
board they need lot be surprised at the
transformation. If the President calls
men about him in whom he has conf
dence, on whose judgment he relies, and
whose sympathy he may expect, he is
not to be abused until it Is seen that the
men in these positions are incapable or
resolved on a course inimical to public
interests. Mr.. Arthur will be the
President, no matter who surrounds
him, and ne is not ambitious to commit
harikari."

Co.'s statement, showing the condition Of
trade at the end of the last week in Sep

terized by great activity in the dry goods
trade. There has not been so much activi-
tY, and there has been a falling off
in all the different lines. Still a
fair business is being transacted. Buyers
have not come into market yet for their
second purchases, but good, healthy trade
is anticipated for the balance of the season.
There is great difference of opinion as to
the cotton crop. An eminent authority
Just from the South estimates deficiency of
1000, 900 bales for the present season, with
a good many contingencies to pass through,
the principal of which is the fear that the
rains and the humidity of the atmosphere
may cause large part of the late crop to
be stained and the grade low in conse-
