The difficulty of raising funds for
the proposed monument in New York
has inspired some curious propositions.
At recent meeting of the common
council resolution was offered per-
mitting the monument association "to
erect stands and platforms along the
line of the funeral procession, and to
charge 50 cents for places on them,
the proceeds to be added to the monu-
ment fund.-" One alderman however,
had the good sense to denounce it as
scheme having the aspect of a side
show, and ian indecorous attempt to
make a mercenary spectacle out of the
funeral" and it was voted down.

The Future Income Of Mrs. Grant.

The Future Income of Mrs. Grant.
New YORK, Aug. 10.-The Com
mercial Advertiser this afternoon says:
"The financial resources available to
Mrs. Grant are at present not exactly
ascertainable, since they are dependent
somewhat upon the action of Congress
as to balance Of the Generals retired
pay for the current year. The receipts
from the Generals book will be hers.
Estimating these receipts at seventy
FIVE cents per volume for an edition Of
100000 copies, she will receive $685.
600, or an annual income Of $4,000, at
4 per cent for this. There will prob
ably be added $4,000 a year as a
widow Of an ex-President, and the net
rental of the Sixty-sixth street house,
which, outside Of the taxes, may
amount to $4,000, so all in probabili.
ty. If, as reported, Mrs. Grant has full
life interest in her husbands property,
she will, in the course Of a twelve
months, enjoy an income Of $4,000 or
$4,000. This is all independent of
the income arising from the trust fund
of $250,000. In that sum of money
the general possessed the right of dis
position, and until his will is maze
public it will be impossible to say
whether he had given his wife life
interest. or whether he had distributed
the money among his heirs.

New York Tribune: at was unfortu-
nate that Mr. Hendricks did not permit
the choice of President pro tenn. of the
Senate at the last session. Neither House
now has presiding officer. and should
anything happen to the President there
would be no one who could become his
unquestioned successor. After the expe-
rience OF 1881 such state of affairs ought
not to exist. Nor would it exist had the
Democratic House of Representatives per-
formed its duty in acting upon the bill
which the Senate passed on this subject.
The republicans will have majority of
eight in the Senate and the choice of a
competent presiding officer is assured.

In REGARD TO THE Presidency OF THE SEN.

formed of the death OF Vice-Presdent Hen
bricks Just before his departure for the theatre
Wednesday evening. lie was very much
surprised for a time, and it was only after
conflrmatory Dispatches arrived thot he cred
tied the report. "Mr. Hendricks" said he,
"was one of the most prominent and ablest
members of his party, and his death is very
much to be regretted, While the death of
any one man, however great he may be. can
make but little difference in the affairs of a
government as large as ours, the fact is to be
none the less deplored "
"what will be the effect upon the country,
Senator?"
1T will probably have a tendency to I'M
settle affairs somewhat, but do not believe
there will be any other effect noticeable.
The organization of the Senate is very
simple matter. The Vice President is the
presiding officer. At present We have no
President pro tenn. Mr.. Hendricks, after his
installation, did not leave the Senate, and it

president pro tenn in the presence of the

chosen2"
"Just as soon as the Senate convenes. On

will be held. The candidates will have been

will be settled 10 Ave minutes"
