THE GRANT MONUMENT FUND.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser sounds note of distress over the
Grant monument fund, as follows:
THE growth Of the Grant monument
fund is now so slow as scarcely to be
growth at all. FitfuI contributions of
few dollars are received now and
then, but practically the collection OF
funds for this purpose has ceased.
There must be reason for the speedy
popular neglect into which the enter
prise has fallen, and for the apathy
that has succeeded the quick enthusi-
asm If few weeks ago." The reason
for the popular neglect must be
found in New York alone. Outside OF
that city the only feeling is that the
nation should not be called upon to
contribute TO purely local tribute to
zen. Grants fame. Other cities
which are raising handsome funds for
their own Grant monuments will not
decline to contribute To national
memorial to DE placed in the national
capital. The expression Of opinion is
almost universal that Gen. Grants
place of burial was i'll chosen, but that
once made, the people Of the city in
whose midst he rests should properly
rear his tomb without calling upon
the country at large to share in the
expense. The fact of the matter is,
that New York with all its wealth is
greedy of its means, deficient m en-
terprise and devoid of enthusiasm
necessary to organize and push u
completion any scheme which does
not promise returns in dollars and
cents. 1t gladly accepted the honor oI
Gen. Grants funeral and cheerfully
raked in the hundreds of thousand,
Of dollars which the ob,eguies brought
into the city. A monument, however
promises no such returns and it,
thrifty citizens are now eagerly puss-
ing around the empty hat to the
people of other states and expressing
sorrowful surprise at their refusal Ia
contribute.
