AN EARL
Among the Guests Of President
Willard, Who II is Said Proves
Himself Far From "A Gentle
man.


Fargo Argus, 6.
One OF the persons with the excur-
sion Of President Willard was the Earl
Of Onslow. He occupied the front
passenger coach of the rear section.
He was spoken Of as a bore and q boor
by the exeursionists without except
ion. Inquiry elioited the fact that
the Earl had invited himself, that is
he wrote to President Willard request
ing IN invitation. This was sent, and
on arriving in New York with his re.
tinue OF servants he desired q special
coach placed at his service. He was
also granted this request. A large
retinue Of servants and Wallets &C.
companied the Earl. He refused to
take his meals in the dining car with
the rest Of the guests, but insisted on
having them prepared in his own car.
and did not seem TO care how much
the coach might be damaged by the
cooking therein. His next freak was t
refuse TO allow another excursionis
or official to pass through his coach
AT Fargo he insisted that his coacl
should be made the last q on tn,
last section, that his person might b.
more safe from accident and thu
attacks of the Indians. But M.
Smalley, who had charge Of the sec
ton, he was in, stated he had positive
orders not to shift the coach any more
and refused his request. The specis
coach Of the Earl of 0nslow, therefor
remained as the first one on the thirt
section in spite Of vehement protest
upon his part.
The sEnglishmen of the part,
seemed the most disguised and put
out Of any Of the excursionists owe
the action Of the fussy Earl. The,
said he did not deserve an invitation
even, and his fussy, insolent way
were unboarable aud should not b
tolerated. It is to be regrettei
that nearly always some such self
important aud generally disagreeabl
parsonage, either American or Eng
lish gets into parties to make other
uncomfortable. The only way is t
set down upon them and come dow
with sufficient weight hat they ma
remember the event with horror.

This community has been plunged into an
other of the interesting and complicated con-
troyersies which lend sweetness and light to
existence here. This controversy involves
| the Green, the tired and firing old State
House, the Pazk and the proposeda Soldiers
monument or memorial building. Here is
material enough to make lively time with
and the sxAr has begun vigorously
When it will ehdthe Lord only knows.
In order to encourage the combatants we
will briefly have t'our say It seems to us
that there can fairly be no question concern
ing the location of the proposed monument If
it is decided to have a monument. 1t should
be on hesnew Park, the Park that will very
soon be the glory of New Haven and is al
ready one of the most charming and pictur-
esque places in the country. The Green, and
especially the site of the miserable old State
House, is not the place for it. If placed
there, however magnificent it is, it will not
benefit by its location. But if placed on some
conspicuous spot in the Park where 1t
can be seen from the sea and from
various points in the city,
the location will not detract from the
beauty and appropriateness of the memorial.
On the contrary it will greatly add to them
1t may be objected that it will not be seen
and carefully examined by as many persons
if it stands on the Park as if were on the
Green. People who thus talk forget that the
Park is going to be much more popular re-
sort than the Green ever was, and that
monument there will attract more attention
than it would on the Green. Then, too, the
monument would be decided addition to
the attractions of the Park, and is more
needed there thon on the Green. There is
enough now on the Green, AID many think
too muck.
This is our opinion, as far as We have got.
As the squabbling proceeds we shall proba-
bly, feel called upon to say more. Mean
while we cordially invite all citizens, without
regard to race, color or previous condition of
servitude, to give such thoughts as they may
have concerning the matter to the public IN
the hospitable columns of the JOURNAL AND
