Is Gen. Grant beggare We do not

Is Gen. Grant beggar? We do not
know, but he certainly allows himself
to be presented as such before the peo-
pie Of this country. He has enjoyed
important offices and large salaries; he
has received gifts vast and varied; he
lives Ikea rich man; and he engaged
IN enterprises which are believed to
promise enormous wealth. Yet here
we have Senator Logan asking that,
by a special benefaction, he may be
placed on the retired list of the army,
so that he may draw Il few thousands
a year out of the Treasury as long as
| he lives.
This proposition exhibits Grant as
beggar entreating aims from the pub
lie store. This is not a becoming
| attitude for such a man. No other eX-
President ever allowed himself to be
placed in q position SO bumiliatins.
