About the Grant Fund.
A STORY WITH A SEQUEL.

a
Gen Grants fund of Sloo, 0v0 from his Phil
Generals order.
Is the Grdphic from which we quite the shove
paragraph, aware tnat Gen. Grants Philadelphia
friends could not riise thst Sl0O 900 in theic hwu
city but that they were OBJ i2,ed come II New
\, TX to get assistance, and that Sew NorHers con
ttlbuted mora than one half of the sum: Let IL,
give credit where credit is due
The foregoing from the New York Ledgar. IS
nearly correct. 1t is simple justice however N
sta1e that trO-thtrdS OF the sum was contrib
uted by New Workers."
The above, from the New York Times OF
yesterday, has asequei:-Some two months ago
the $25O, 900 fund for Gen. Grant was subscribed
with the exception OF $50, 900, which was to be
raised In Philadelphia and Boston. The Phila-
delph1a people got 1t into their heads that IL
(Which was to be fund for eX-PreSldents)
that Gen. Grant might die suddenly, and in such
event II President Hayes was alive, il might be
construed that he was entitled to its dement's
Hence the Philadelphia people made a new
move to get up a fund OF $1,000 and present
it to the General outright. 1t met with such
success that they induced Jay Gould and Van
defbilt to withdraw from the Times fund the
5000 which each had subscribed, and con-
tribute 1t to the Philadelphia fund. The full
amount has now been raised and will be given
TO Gen. Grant In a day or two. The Sl0O. 900
will do the General more good than the interest
OF the proposed $3.50, 600 fund.- all his sons be-
ing well provided for. The Philadelphia move
has, however, reduced the New York Times
fund to small figure. ana the amounts sub
scribed to that fund will probably be returned
TO the subscribers

brief explanation Of the ''Three Fs." The first
Is "fair Rent, based on new valuation OF the
land exclusive OF all Improvements made by the
tenants themselves. The second is Free
Sales, or the right of the tenant to sell his i'm
provements whenever he gives up bis holding
This is the Ulster custom. The third is .'FiXity
OF Tenure" whereby tenants will be secured
against unwarrantable eyicrionS and higher
rents. All advocates Of land reform recognize
the necessity OF facilitating the transfer Of land
by abolishlng all restrictions OF primogenlture
and entail, and removing difficulties OF title
although the phrase has come to be used in a
special sense. The necessity OF building up
new class OF peasant proprtetors and or re-
claiming waste lands, and thus extending the
area under cultivation is also admitted by ali
students who have examined this subject.-N.
