National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-07-25

The great strength of Grant was in bis
saving sense. He rose to every vital oc.
cason His judgment was clear and his
determination infexible. II he quivered
at Shiloh on the first day, he fought il
out on the second. He never knew what
il was to be defeated, and he inspired his
soldiers with the same indomitable faith
He had the gift of epigrammatic expires
sion, and, known as the silent man, he
sometimes fred shot which was heard
round the world. Strong but unpreten-
tious; firm but magnanimous; great in
victory but never greater than in the
hour of death; true, just, and courageous,
Ulysses S. Grant is enrolled among the
nations immortals. Philadelphia Press.
1t is rs yet too soon to estimate his
place in history. He is still too near to
us. The splendor of his great deeds,
and the dark shadow of his death. excite
emotions too profound for critical judg.
ment. But there things that even now
all should remember. Let those whom
he overcame in battle remember that no
victor ever was more magnanimous than
he. When Vicksburg fell, his first
thought was TO send food TO the besieged,
When Lee surrendered he sent the con
federates home, tn. .ir colors saluted, the
officers carrying their side arms When
andrew johnson contemplated the trial
of Lee for treason, Grant prevented it..
declaring that he would resign his com
mission if the parole he granted Lee
should be violated. These are only u
few instances of gen rous temper dis
played on many occasions. Fidelity to
friendships WAS marked trait in his
character. The misfortunes Of his life
nre traceahle directly TO loyalty OF
affection that would believe no wrong
about u friend, and TO q confidence that
never suspected duplicity or deceit-and
these are qualities not ordinarily called
ults.-BdLtimOre american.
Thus another great and memorable
| figure in the later history of the re-
excepting only Mr., Lincoln, among all
those who performed their parts in the
immortal contest for the preservation OF
the Union-passes away from among
living men, and takes his place in the
records of history. What an instructive
story is presented in the chronicle of the
life which is now ended What lessons
and what warnings What encourage
ment for patriotism, for 6delity. fol
weariless defense of the great Interest,"
of mankind And, above and beyond
all, We see the democratic republic,

WANT MORE ROOM.

The Water Board Dissatisfied With the
Apartments Allotted Them
TIE gentlemen OF the Water Board have
entered a most emphatic protest against the
apartments Of the City Hall allotted TO
them BY the City Council, and are quoted
as saying that unless a change ismade they
will retain their old quarters. The rooms
assigned the Water Board we're the two on
the west side Of the building formerly occu-
pied by the Auditor as private offices, while
the Board is said to entertain preference
for the two rooms in the southeast corner,
assigned to Chief of Police Smith and Clerk
Darrah, and formerly occupied by the Su-
perintendent OF Schools.
The subject was introduced at the meet.
ing OF the Furnishing Committee, last even.
ing, ard was discussed at considerable
length. Chairman Myles said the Board
was dissatisfied, and he understood they
would not move into the building unless a
change was made. They had asked him
come up to the building Monday and
COX around, in the hope that a change
.oud be made. He thought the commit
e', when it assigned the apartments, had
lore the best it could and change would
10, improve matters. The rooms were big
enough 10 business ola million dollars a
month.
Mr. Cruise thought the Board would have
plenty Of room to transact its business and
accommodate those having occasion to go
there.
Mr. Stanley thought the matter had been
arranged as we'll as possible.
Tie committee adjourned without taking
action in the matter.
