Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1885-07-24

Laying aside all claims based on local ambi-
tons rather any special fitness for the desired
distinction. the popular voice of the country
viii undoubtedly and Enthusiastically echo and
confirm the already largely expressed senti-
ment that the natural and proper place for
General Grants final sepulture is the national
capital. Just what precise point within its
limits or neighborhood should be selected, is of
comparatively little Importance; but that his
tomb should be In the place which stands In all
eyes as the visible symbol of the national
union, the center Of national interests, and the
measure Of national aspirations, would seem to
be too plain q proposition to admit of argu-
Inent
The city Of Washington represents in ma
ter1al form the ideas and cause for which Gen.
eral Grants great services were given. Its his
tory and associations are closely and insepara-
bly, connected with the most conspicuous events
In his Industrious career. Here he lived as long
a. he ever held residence in any single place.
To his proves i'm the field IL may be said that
ttowes its very existence. and to his admins
tration Of the Presidential office it is largely in
debted for its present prosperity and beauty.
1t was one Of the great captains regrets that he
did not carry ont his original intention of taking
up his permanent residence I'm Washington
after returning from his foreign tour; and so far
as he ever expressed any preference on the
subject IL was at least not unfavorable 10 this
city as his last resting place.
II Is therefore eminently fit that while his
memory is hOnOred and kept green in the hearts
of all the American people, his mortal remains
should repOse at the seat of government laid
out by the immortal Washington himself and
hallowed by the blood of thousands OF gallant
men spilled in its defense in the battles of two
hard fought wars. To bury General Grant in
any other place would be in a measure TO de-
nationalist his fame, and TO withdraw his name
and reputation from the public memory. Take
the case of General Scott, for example,-whose
natural and appropriate place of interment was
the grounds of the Soldiers Home, near this
city. How many persons can tell to-day where
he Is buried? What opportunity is there for
the hosts who once looked upon him as an idol
TO lay flower upon his grave?
No. General Grants last resting place should
be neither in the mad hurry burly of q great
commercial center, nor shut in by the setlusion
OF q military post The proper place for his
monumental mausoieum is the national capI-
TAI. III no other reasons presented themselves,
IL would be enough that the thousands of peo-
pie who annually come here could thus at one
pilgrimage draw fresh Inspirations of patriot
ism and renew pledges of devotion to their
country at two such shrines as the tombs of
Washington and Grant.

President Cleveland makes short work with
the cattle men who have been invading the In
dian territory under various "pretexts and
licenses and thereby making the Indians dis
contented- He brushes away the fiimsy claims
Of the cowboys, declaring all agreements and
licenses under which they occupied the lands
void and of no effect, and warns them off under
forty days, on pain of being forclbly elected by
the military. This is plain talk, and the cowboys
will understand 1t. The leases were obtained
by fraud, and are In violation of the treaty
rights of the Indian. Not only the settlers on
the border, but the nation at large, will thank
the President and General sheridan for their
prompt and stern action in this matter

1EGISLATION FOR NEW-YORK.

As the most important State in the Union,
contributing large share of the Natlonai
revenues. New-YO is entitled to conslderate
treatment at the hands of Congress. 1t does
not ask for more than that, as will be seen by
the outline given in our Washington CORE
spondepce of the bills which its Representa-
tlves propose to introduce. The majority OF
the measures are of equal Importance to the
entire country. The harboT Improvement, for
instance, will benefit every State interested III
the commerce of this port. And what state
does not share IN that cOmmercef
IF constant depth of thirty feet OF water
were maintained at Sandy Hook bar the largest
sized vessels could load to their utmost capaci-
tv and 90 in and out at ali times. According
to a computation made by recognized authority
that would serve to reduce the rates for ocean
Transportation. AS much the larger part OF the
foreign commerce of the country passes over
this bar, the benefit Of the Improvement would
be felt IN every part OF the land. Hence
when Congress comes to consider Mr.. Hewtts
bill for the improvement of the harbor, IL
should in no sense be regarded as local mat
ter. The same may be said for Mr.. Merrlmans
bill to AID in the enlargement of the locks and
Other wise to improve the Erie Canal. The
canal Is maintained free at great expense by
this State and the benefits of that liberal policy
accrue largely to the Western farmers. Mr..
Parker's proposed measure to prevent the ex-
portaton, for a fraudulent purpose, of lmlta-
ton dairy products, Mr. James's measure con-
corning international bills of lading, and many
of the other important bills prepared by New
York members. while having a local appllca-
ton, are of equal importance to the entire
country. 1t will be extremely fortunate ii they
receive fair treatment from "a Democratic House
of Representatives. That will be more than
was accorded them in the last.

SHERIFF GRANTS OPPORTUNITY

Shcriif-elect Grant is young man OF goou
natural impulses, but inst at present lllDlo 10
be misled by bad advisers. Possessed OF an
ample fortune, he entered the political helu at
an early age, and served two terms In the
Board of Aldermen with credit to himself and
benefit to the taxpayers. He was defeated Tor
Mayor last year, but received a vote the size OF
which was n source of qualification to HIM. lie
accented the nomination for Sheriff this year
when the fortunes OF Tammany Hall looked
dark indeed, and was elected by vote cons'd-
eraby larger than that of his associates on tne
County ticket.
Mr.. Grant has said that he proposes to make
a radical change in the Sheriffs Office lie Is
fully aware of the condition of things winch
has existed in that Office for several years. Inc
Assembly Committee in 1894 showed plainly
the extortions then practised on the public by
the deputy sherilfs, and the frauds pcrpetrated
OH the city and State by those in the employ
ment Of the Sheriff in the returns OF prisoners
made to the Secretary of State, ana IN the
transportation of prisoners tn and from the Guy
courts Has Mr.. Grant the moral courage
to resist the pressure which Is aireauy
brought to bear on him by certain
leaders In Tammany Hall to give their
adherents place If he has not he will merely
turn out one gang of extortion' r to make room
for another. possibly even more greedy than
the present crew. He has an opportunity such
as few young men have had to make lasting
reputation for himself in tho metropolis II he
puriiies the Sherins office and makes it clean,
honest and efficient, he will do service to TINS
community that will not soon be forgotten. In
that case he may yet be Mayor.

4 SPEAKER WITHOUT A MUzzLE.

SPEAKER WITHOUT a MCIHLH.
In taking off its muzzle, the House has
greatly increased the power OF Speaker carlisle
and the Importance of his office. Nomlnaliy he
is the third officer of the Government. But the
making of laws is more important than the
distribution of spos. When the two houses
are opposed in policy to the President, the
Sneaker of the House is apt to have more real
mower for good or evil than the PRESIDENT
himself. 1t is true, sometimes the President or
a Cabinet officer may make laws for hlmseii, as
Mr. Villas has done, but that conduct Is not
permitted as a rule. The law making power
of the Speaker Is far greater than that oil Inc
President of the Senate, because the latter does
not select the Senate's committees, nor have the
committees in that body anything like the
power that the committees WELD in the House.
The power of the Speaker is greatly enlarged
by the change of rules. 1t would have been
hardly possible for the Speaker to degrade MI.
Randall from the craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on Appropriations place which he had
filled, as all admit with great ability and, as his
political friends have claimed, with infinite
advantage to the Government Unable TO do
this. the Speaker could not make sure OF the
passage or even the serious consideration OF
any measure Mr.. Randall held the only key
which could unlock the muzzle that the House
has chosen to wear. But now the Speaker can
create committees which will have entire
charge of legislation on all important questions.
The power of the Appropriations Committee 10
thrust general legislation into appropriation
bills has departed. Both to stop legislation
and to secure the enactment of laws, the power
of the committees which the Speaker will
create has been indefinitely increased. In
taking off the muzzle, therefore. the House
dscloses disposition to make Mr.. Carlisle
more powerful person than the President.
Mr.. Carlisle will remember that his great
power brings with it great responsibility. lie
is about to appoint a committee on coinage, for
instance If he means to defeat the Presidents
recommendation, and to make the President as
nearly powerless in his party as possible, he
will take care to put back Mr.. Bland, who
obstinately refused to report any bill for the
suspension of silver coinage at the last session,
and thus made it necessary for Mr. Cleveands
friends to offer, through Mr.. Randall, rider on
an appropriation bill. But neither Mr.. Randall
nor any body else will have power to get at the
matter in that way this year, general legislation
in appropriation bills having been prohibited.
This is but one of many questions on which the
will of Mr.. Carlisle, whether favorable or un-
favorable to the President must be disclosed
by his selection of committees. lie Will
certainly remember that the welfare of the
country, and the future OF the Democratic
party, depend in great measure upon the
wisdom of the policy for which his choice OF
committees may prepare the way.
