THE proclamation of President Cleve-
land yesterday was in excellent taste and
rises to the dignity of state paper; but
his telegram to Mrs. Grant was infinitely
better 1t was a model of tender, incisive
and sympathetic expression.

THE Mormons will doubtless postpone

As horses as well as human beings suffer
greatly in this extremely hot weather, it
would seem good thing for Major Ly-
decker to direct his engineer assistant to
have repaired the watering fountain
at the Thirteenth street reservation,
so that the water may be turned on
again. Nearly week ago horse slipped
ON the badly arranged waste-trap there,
and falling against the fountain, pushed il
over. 1t would not require half days
work, and would be Godsend to many
suffering animals.

ex-senator STOCKTON is at Long
Branch and is said to be looking pale and
worn, as though he felt himself badly
treated by the Administration. 1t is more
likely to be the weather that troubles him,
but the area of unhappiness just now pre-
vailing among the New Jersey Democ-
racy is sombre and extensive, and Mr..
Stockton is possibly depressed by it to some
extent. If we were New Jersey Demo
crat we should feel like moving across the
line in most any direction, even on the
Atlantic side.

EX-MINIsTER LANGsToN, who has Just
returned from Hayti, says that England is
making strong bid for the business of
that island, and that if the United States
does not show a disposition TO strengthen
its commercial relations in that direction
the Haytien trade will go across the seas
and be irrecoverably lost. Mr. Langston
is doubtless correct in this statements but
1Iayti is only one of many other countries
with which our relations are out of joint.
The subject is vast one, and will probably
be pressed before Congress next winter with
greater force and directness than ever be-
fore. Our whole commercial system needs
to be taken down, as it were, and built up
from the ground.

If No OTHER evidence were wanted of
the extraordinary dullness of the season it
can be found in the fact that the news
papers throughout the country are repro
ducing the story of the mutiny on the
United States brig Somers and the execu-
ton of Midshipman Spencer. This is one
of the signs that never fails in dry times.

GRANTS BURIAL PLACE.

No private or personal considerations
supcryening to the contrary, the final inter
ment of the remains of General Grant
should be at Washington.
No man in the history of the country
belonged by such broad and exclusive
title to the Nation at large No State nor
city can claim him as her own. Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, New York can assert no
more control of his ashes than of his fame.
The citizen by whose coffin all the peo-
pie kneel, ana whom the whole civilized
world delighted to honor, can have no
resting place so fitting as the Capital City
Of the great Republic which his powers
and patriotism contributed to save.
Here, too, should be his monument-the
Arch of Triumph significant of the peace
he wrought between the sections.
JUDGE FORAKER of Ohio declines to
discuss the liquor question with DIR.
Leonard, the Prohibition candidate for
Governor. Chairman Bushnell of the
Republican State Committee says that to
have such a discussion would be to have
the candidate of one of the great parties
of the State debating with the nominee
of what is only an attempted diversion
in favor of the other great party of the
State. 1t wouldn't be in very good form
we admit, bnt il is scarcely matter oI
consequence. Discussion or no discussion,
the contest is bound to be three-sided
one, and if the Democrats of Ohio only
behave themselves and pull together with
WILL they can occupy the right angle
