RIvERsIDE's FITNESS.

The Park stilI Young, and to Get sR-
cred Character from the Interment.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-In the letter that
Mayor Grace sent 10 Col. Grant, suggest
ing Riverside park as the best place for
the Generals tomb, the writer made the
following points In favor Of that site:
because Of the peculiar beauty Of the
place in It's location on the river, and the
fact that a monument in II would be Yisi-
bic far and wide. IL would give a dis
tinct characteristic 70 this quiet and beau
tiful park, and such "a monument az
would probably be erected there would
vie In beauty and fitness Of location with
the famous statue OF Germania on the
Rhine. The entire park would become
peculiarly, in u seuse that Central park
never can become, sacred and devoted
10 the memory OF your father.
WILL MOLD IT'S CHARACTER.
"The park Is 30 young that the character
OF its development would be largely de-
termined, and its whole future dominated
by this fact. The monument would be
visible from two States, and for miles
both up and down the Hudson river, ard
would not only borrow from, but lend
beauty 10 the noble stream, and at no
time could your father's remains b0 re-
garded az lying remote from nature. In
the heart Of the great, busy city, IN the
rush and hurry OF life, Of which death and
Ia sacredness may be forgotten, the re-
mains OF even the great dead may be
passed IN tboughtlessness"

loss to the town. The Council resolved

sufferers by the famine in the
East, obtained from the Sultan the
privilege of holding real estate,

MEDILL ON THE WAR PATH.

New York City and its People Dressed
Down with wild Western GustO.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-In an editorial on
the subject of New York as the final rest
ing place for the remains Of Gen. Grant,
the Tribune tomorrow will say: at now
seems TO be definitely settled that the re-
mains OF Gen. Grant, in disregard of the
eternal fitness Of things, are to
be buried in Riverside park,
which is merely an extension
OF Central park. IL is no use to mince
matters In this connection. New York
has always been plague spot on the body
polite. 1t Is the most un-American and
unnatIonal city in the United states.
During the Revolution IL was the hotbed
of Toryism. II was never outspoken In
its protests against English injustice and
despotism.
A RAP AT ITS SOCIETY.
"The lapse OF a century has m ade little
change In their sentiments. It's s0-called
best society is composed OF hunkies and
tOadies whose principal object in life is 10
ape English habits and customs, and 20
dress, eat, walk, and talk as English
swells and plutocrats do. There
is not Americanism enough
life. 80 far as known, 10 make one man of
robust nature, a quality which charac-
terized Gen. Grant. What is not bastard
English in its population Ia alien sedi-
ment deposited there and left by the
better class Of foreign emigrants who seek
homes in the West. IL Is the dumping
ground for everything that is un-Ameri-
can. and II should be remembered that
while Gen. Grant was In the field lighting
like Hercules % save the Union New
York city was the very hOtbed Of copper
headism, !. e., disloyalty and secession.
FLEECED BY IT'S sHARPERs.
"When he retired from public life and
went there b. live It's Wall street sharpers
traded upon mis- name and Influence. and
feeced him and every member Of his
family aud all his relatives out Of all they
had. What claim, then, has New
York city for the high aud
priceless honor Of receiving and
guarding the remains Of the Union
hero. When the time OF immediate grief
has passed condemnation will be more
OutspOken than 10 Is now, and the general
Judgment will be- that the selection Of the
city ~ New York as a burial place was
an undesirable concession OF honor upon
city which had never been his friend
and had no claim upon him."

Privilege Defeated.
LONDON, July 2s.-In the House OF
Commons this evening Mr.. Callau moved
that Mr.. BrighVs speech at the recent
banquet to Earl Spencer be considered
breach OF privilege. Mr.. Bright said that
II his words we're oensurable he regretted

changed. twas a fact that the Parnell-
ties had assailed Earl Spencer and tho
Crown Ofiicefs.
HOW HE COULD HAVE CAUsED A LAUGH.
II he had said that the Parnellites had
defended the Judges and law officers.
everybody would have said that he was
fool for making statements that were abb
solutely untrue, and would have laughed
him 20 soorn.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor or
the Exchequer, SAID that he thought
II Mr.. Bright had spoken in Parliament
word which he had used at the banquet
he could have been called 70 order, but it
was inadvisable 10 make those occasions
causes for a motion OF breach OF privilege.
He would, therefore, oppose Mr.. Callan'sl
motion. The Marquis OF Harrington con-
CURED.
AN ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE.
In the debate which followed acrimoni-
ous remarks were made by several Irish
members. Finally Mr.. Callan begged
leave to withdraw his motion, the object
Of which, he said, had been attained.
Hehad supreme contempt for Mr.. Brighrs
language, and he had no confidence
in the justice Of the House. When tho
occasion offered the supporters OF Mr..
ParnelI would repay MIR. Bright in his
own coin.
Leave 20 Withdraw the motion was re-
fused. The motion was rejected by vote
OF l54 10 %.
