THE members of the Grant National
Monument Committee are evidently
not easily discouraged. In the face OF
the ins;gnifica cant sum thus far contribu-
ted, they coolly and calmly announce
their purpose of raising one million
dollars, the whole to be in hand before
the work is commenced THIS SUN OF
money sounds big. but still 1t is not,
considering the wide field Of operations
open to the committee. All that is re-
quired is energetic measures put forth
to collect that amount. There is scarcely
a man, WON IN or child in the land who
would not be willing to give something
for a monument to the memory OF Gen.
Grant worthy of the IN an and the cause
that enshrinsd his name in every true
patriotic American heart.

THE throwing open of the steamer
FELTON, yesterday for public inspection
gave thousands Of people an opportu-
nifty to see the wreck and form their
own conclusions In regard to it. 1t is
difficult, however, to see what other
conclusion can be arrived ut that meets
the case more effectually and truly than
the one that the wreck was caused by
an explosion of dynamite. Whether
the Explosive compound, however, was
brought aboard with q malicious intent
or In careless kind of manner, with
no harmful intent, still remains an un-
solved problem, though the weight of
opinion inclines to fhe latter. But
whatever the cause may have been, one
thing has been established, and that Is
that the FELTON, was sound boat
in her hull, her boilers, her ma
chinery and all her departments before
the explosion.

AS NEW Castle County, according to
the usual rotation plan, is entitled to the
next Governor Of the state, the Demo-
Gratis are busy casting about to see who
will fill the bill. The sentiment of the
Lore men rups most unmistakably in
the direction of the Delaware plough
boy, Hon. Benjamin t Biggs. The
Bayard wing of the party are in sad
guandary for candidate. DR.. Chand-
ler of Mill Greek was to have been the
man, but his unfortunate slip last
Hiuter pending the Senatorial coz est
shelved him. T.en John W. Cjoch,
ex State Senator, and q present men,
Der Of the Board of Trustees Of the Poor,
WAS approached with smiles, and 1t is
needless to say that smile met smile
and every thing went lovely. But now
In the twinkling OF an eye NJ. Uooch
is rendered unavailable by the explo-
sion Of the poor-house gun, laying bare
the extravagauce and reckless favorit-
ism of the Board of Trustees, and now
Mr.. Ccoch who did not even measure
up as reform member of the board
had to be dropred. There is County
Ire asuror Herbert still left, but tn,

Uuw,.e Opposition.

A great deal Of unnecessary criti-
cism was INDUCED In last night in the
Board of Education, in relation to the
building OF the new high school to ser,
in which the Building Committee Of
the high school, Bailding Inspector
Chandler and architect Rice were free
ly and sometimes severely handled.
Some Of the member spoke rs II they
regretted that the completion OF the
high school had been interfered with,
no matter whether 1t was strong and
suitable building or not. The great
aim on the part Of some seemed TO be to
have the tower put up and the build
ing com pletsd, and then II it fell let 1t
fall We do not mean to say that any
mem Der Of the Board would be glad to
see it fall, but from the opposition and
objections made to Mr.. Chandler's &C.
tion and 10 the Building Commission
that unanimously sustained him, we
would be justified in saying that sever
al embers Of the Board regretted that
the work had been stopped. The news
papers all came In for share Of uu-
complimentary remarks too, because in
perfor ming public duty, they con
dem ned the tower and supported the
Building Inspector and the Building
Commission. Some Of the mem bers of
the b oard seemed to think that If the
Diamond State rolling mill disaster
had not occurred, Mr.. Chandler would
never have been heard Of in the high
school building, and they very natural
ly find themselves taking the ground
that, admitting that Mr.. Chandler did
NOT rigidly do his duty in the Dis-
mond State rolling mill case, he had
no right to interfere with the new high
school building.
These arguments are ali very lame
and will be condemned by an intelli.
gent publi,, who will uphold Mr..
Chandler and the Building Commits.
sion in what they have done. Natural.
iy, people will suppose that the Board
of Education would have more cause
to thank Mr.. Chandler than to con
denim him. The Board should have
rejoiced that the defects in the build
ing which endangered its stability hat
been discovered. The Board of + iuca
tion might as we'll settle down with 8
good grace to the inevitable, and W,
believe that they will, and these few
random shots fired now are only t,
ease the getting down, A Husing Mr.
Chandler and the Building Commission
will not help their case any before th'
public. They should recollect tina
they do not stand In an enviable posi-
tion before the public and are not pre-
pared to make y defense Of bad mar
agemept. Not only have they criI
Piled building on hand, but a wors
crippltd treasury. 1t will require a
the ingenuity and economy the B oar
can gather up to enable 1t to pass
financial crisis in its history, witho,
having to carry with it oondemnt
building, had the to wer been bull
We hope, therefore, that the membe
of the B oard who have seen proper
oppose what seven.eighths OF the peor
support, will see the light in viii
they stand before the public and droI
controversy that but insures their op
condemnation.

EVERY six minutes of the working

postmaster rolls over into Cleveland &

gathering in the Goelet cup in the

SINCE the Coroner's inqne over the
body of young MeGinnis, shot by
Becker, the case does not look so favor
able for Mr.. Becker, We would nos
say 8 word to for-stail public opinion
against Mr.. Becker in his unfortuna e
position, only 10 remark thai he was a
little too hasy with his gun. He does
not seem to have been in much dan ger
of losing his life when he fired the un-
fortunate shot thai sent a fellow being
upprepared into eternity, AMI that has
