ABOUT THE GRANT FUND.
A Story with a Sequel.

Gen. Grants fund of 500, 900 from
his Philadelphia friends is now COM
pleted, and awaits the Generals order
Is the Graphic, from which we quote
the above paragraph, aware that Gen.
Grants Philadelphia friends could not
raise that 800, 600 in their own city. but
that they were obliged to come to New
York to get assistance, and that New
Workers contributed more than e.half
of the sum? Let us give credit where
credit is due.
The foregoing, from the New York
Ledger, is nearly correct. 1t is simple
justice. however, to state that tCo- thirds
of the sum was contributed by New
Workers."
The above, from the New York Times,
has a sequel: Some two months
ago, the $500 fund for General
Grant was subscribed with the exception
of $50. 900, which was to be raised in
Philadelphia and Boston. The Phila-
delphia people got it into their heads
that If they subscribe to the New York
Times fund (Which was to be a fund for
ex Presidents) that Gen. Grant might
die suddenly, and in such event if Presi-
dent Hayes was alive it might he con-
strued that he was entitled 10 its
benefits. Hence the, Philadelphia peo-
pie made new move to get up q
fund of 100000, and present it to the
General outright. 1t met with such
success that they induced Jay Gould and
Vanderbilt to withdraw from the Times
fund the $25, 5,000 which each had sub.
scribed, and contribute it to the Phila-
delpbia fund. The full amount has now
been raised, and win be given to Gen.
Grant in day or two. The 800, 900
will do the General more good than the
interest of the proposed $3.50, 900 fund,
all his sons being well provided for. The
Philadelphia move has, however, re-
duced the New York Times fund to a
small figure, and the amounts subscribed
to that fund will probably be returned
to the subscribers.
