The Baltimore american pointedly lie.
calls the fact that Sin recent years the
United States has been represented at the
German court by George Bancroft, J. c.
Bancroft Davis, Bayard Taylor, and Pro.
fcssor Andrew d. White, and it is fair to
presume that those scholars. historians

WHEN the bill to place General Grant
on the retired list was pending in the
Senate a day or two ago it was in the way
OF the Japanese indemnity. The repre-.
sentative of the japanese minister called
on Senator Logan with a dispatch from
General Grant. 1t read l.: "I wish you
would say to General Logan that hope
nothing whatever will bo allowed to inter.
ferc with the passage of the bill to return
the indemnity to Japar.' Senator Lo.
gan, however, declined to give way and
the bill for the benefit Of General Grant
himself kept the J:pancse bill from being
considered. 1t is believed that General
Grant will regret the circumstances, rs
he has urged that this measure should
pass above all others for the honor OF the
nation.
THERE is a great deal of growing over
the distribution Of the tickets to the Gar.
field memoria! services to be held on Mon
dak next, and it is charged that favoritism
has been shown, ard that many persons
who ought to be invited have received no
tickets. The tickets arc being hawked
about by speculators and are readily sold
at prices ranging from ten to twenty dol
lars. Senator Sherman is not very happy
since tue receipt of dispatch saying that
some forty members of the Ohio Legisla-
ture desired tickets. They will probably
have to stand on the outside of the capi,
tol. as no provision has been made fcl
their admission to the hall of the House.
But fifteen hundred tickets have lcen is
sued, and fully ten thousand have been
applied for.
