THE GRAVE OF GARFIELD.
Description OF the Monument which Will
Mark the Dead President's Resting
Flace--The Prize Given TO Hartford
Artist.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 26.-The Trus-
tees of the Garfield National Monument
Association to-day decided upon a design,
for monument. They called to their aid
experts in monumental matters. The first
81 900 prize was unanimously given by the
trustees and both experts to George d. Kelt
Ter, of Hartford, Conn. The second prize.
$3.50, to Charles F. and Julius A. Schwein-
furth, of Cleveland. The third prize, $500,
to Mofitt & Doyle, of New York. The ar
tist to whom the first prize is awarded
adopted a tower for the form of the monu-
ment. A carved and sculptured tomb is
made the principle object of the memorial.
The tower rises from a broad terrace,
reached by wide-spreading steps, form
ing dignified approach. A
projecting porch at the base con-
keepers office, and on the other a room for
relics and visitors register. The vesti-
bule leads into round vaulted chamber,
the stone domical roof of which is carried
on eight massive polished granite columns
in circle around sculptured tomb in the
center of pavement tiled in harmonious
colors and designs: The whole is
lighted by richly mullioned windows!
An aisle or ambulatory outside of
the columns surrounds the chamber, the
side wall of which is decorated with inches
for statues or vases of flowers. A spiral
stone staircase leads from the ambulatory
to the top tower, 250 feet from the ground.
At intervals in the ascent are commanding
views extending for miles in every direc-
tion, at one point looking out over Garfield's
birth place, eight miles distant. Outside
of the monument, above a deeply recessed
portal, is terra Gotta band of frieze of
sculpture six feet in height, extend
ing around the base of the tower, which is
forty feet square. The frieze is divided
into panels, with figures representing Gar
field as an educator; soldier and statesman,
the long, anxious watching of the world
over his death-bed, and the funeral process
sion from Elberon to Cleveland. Garfield's
remains will be inclosed in crypt below
the~evel of the chamber, under a carved
tomb. The family vault is provided back

viii Npt support the Ticket.

The Independent will not support the
ticket nominated at Chicago. It COM
mands neither our enthusiasm nor our
convictions. Our convictions were not
transferred by Powell Clayton, with his
drove of Arkansas delegates. Our en-
thusiasm is not kindled by gush and
dash and magnetism. The level
head and DOWN. ght conscience of the
Republican party demand devotion to
principle. Devotion to party is not
enough
We love the Republican party and
are proud of its history. 1t has saved
the Nation. 1t has liberated the slave.
1t has paid third of the National debt
1t has restored our currency. 1t has re-
formed our civil service. 1t has recov-
cred harmony between North and South.
But party must stand ON its present
record and not on it's past history. The
Republican party is worth nothing to
US except as it continues to represent
principles and reform. Ii it ceases to do
this the quiet, earnest patriots to whom
| we speak can not be coaxed to keep
| swinging its banners. When it is dead
they will bury it. That is what must
| be done with corpses.
Blame ana Logan are nt comrades.
They were the two most Objectionable
candidates before the convention, and
it was natural that they should combine
and conquer. They represent the self
seeking demagog,cal clement, which
uses party for personal preferment.
No one suspects them of an earnest de-
sire for single reform. They are not
known as advocates of pure civil-serv-
ice, of frugal expenditures of the pub
lie funds, or of the publication of polit-
ical methods. On the other hand, they
have the reputation of being shrewd
and unscrupulous party dictators. Their
chosen, eager friends, who have engi.
neered their success, have been the
Star-routers of the West and the bum
mers of the East, whom Mr.. Arthur
flung away when he became President
We have no heart to go into Mr.. Blaine {
personal record, but we regard it as
not that of a man who is fit to be the
candidate of the Republican party. We
can advise no vote for men who repre-
sent not the conscience of our party but
the profits or the prejudices of its camp

The Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The conferees on
the Pension Bill have reached an agree
ment upon the points of difference between
the two Houses. The appropriation for the
pay and allowances to pension agents is
mado $3o0, 1000. Agents for the pay
ment of pensions are to receive only
$3.50 for each one hundred vouchers pre-
pared and paid by any agent, in excess of
1900 per annum. The act of 1878, relating to
claim agents and attorneys in pension cases,
rights Of the parties are NOT abridged or af
fected as to contracts in pending cases.
Elaborate provisions are made for the pro-
lection of claimants against extortionate
or irregular fees by claim agents.

Talking About Adiournina.

WASHINGTON june 29.-In regard to adj
iournment, the majority side of the House
will begin work tomorrow with the idea Of
pushing it through by Thursday. Mr..
Randall said at the close of yesterdays
work, that he believed Congress would ad-
journ by Thursday. Mr.. Allison,
however, of the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee, expressed the opinion
that, from what he knew of the business on
the Senate side, it would not be possible to
adjourn before Saturday. Another Sena-
tor, of long experience, said tonight he
thought the date of adjournment would be
Monday next. This would end the work
on Saturday and give till Monday to en-
gross the last bills.

sary, because the Italian mails from this
country pass through England and France.

rh. Proposed Ra1lro.d to sav1n Rock.

The Proposed Railroad to savtn Rock.
| To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
By accident q portion of the manuscript oi
my communication TO you in regard to the
proposed branch railroad to Savin Rock was
mislaid, which leads to another contribution
on the subject. 1 wish to add that If ever
there could occur a demonstration of the
wisdom of the law enacted by our Legislature
in regard to railroad grade crossings, it seems
to have trsnspired in this case.
When We find prominent men who have
previously, in the interests of the town, ops
posed grade crossings by the Parallel railroad
in q more remote section, advocating the
crossing of fifteen streets in the borough at
grade, in order to further project to bring
their shore property into market, it is very
evident that the wise provision OF the State
is quite necessary for public protection.
The recent move of the projectors of the
grade crossing scheme in calling meeting at
which resolutions we're adopted petitioning
the commissioners TO reconsider their action
did not call sut the opposition and has not
seriously disturbed them, as they
be given for change in the decision.
The western route, the one first talked of
and the most feasible, By which all important
grade crossings would be avoided, and to
which there is no objection. wonld best sub
serve the interests Of the borough and the
public, and at the same time that of those
individuals most prominent in the movement
for road. The fact that such a route is
available most effectuslly disposes of the
claim that it is necessity to construct the
road where fifteen, and eventually when new
streets are opened through the ''prairie, pos
sibly double or triple that number of cross
ings will occur.
some of the residents of the borough who
favor the western route haze reluctantly
given support, in some instances quite fee
ble to the central route at grade, as have
also citizens of New Haven given their influ-
ence to obtain a reconsideration by the COM
mission. having been led to think that there
is no hope of the road being built by another
route. It is certainly in the interests of the
Consolidated road that they should SO be-
lievs, But with the prevailing opinion that
the time will soon come, even If not already
here, when it will be in the interest of some
railroad corporation to build road to Savin
Rock shore, and on the proper route, I
think it pertinent to ask if it is advisable for
the public to allow itself to be made of
for furthering the interests of any railroad
corporation as against its own, because of
the impatience of those who haste to realizs
from their land investments along the shore.

Telephone ImperfectIons


To the Editor of the JoURSAL AND COURIER:
In the late '.Hinman-HJde controversy
the police commissioners decide that ssMr.
Hinman told the TRUTH" and Captain Hyde
ia exopera.sd for lack of evidence. Review
ing the evidence as given to the public, We
find Mr.. Hinman saying "mad dog, " and
asking for protection. We find Captain
HYDE saying, kill him yourself, it'R no busi
ness of the police"2 or Cant you kill him
yourself" and Offering as an excuse, ''that
there was no officer present" when the call
came. and that the word mad" was not
received By him. The commissioners de-
eide that Mr.. Hinman was entitled to the
protection Mr.. Hinman sWears that he said
ssrnad dog" Mr.. Lake testiies that Captain
HYDE remarked ''that a man had called
upon him by telephone TO kill q
mad dog, that he is positive of the word mad
being used in Captain Hyde's remarks" Of
ficer NettIeton testifies ''that he was present
when the call came" Throwing aside the
probability of anyone thus calling for the
killing of any other dog than one supposed
to be mad, it seems that the evidence as report
ed is two to one on each point gainst Captain
Hyde, (whose bravery is not called into
question, but simply neglect of duty,") and
that il the complaint was worthy of attention
and hearing to determine the veracity of
either, the decision should be worthy of the
cause. and in accordance with the evidence.
