A Question About Grants Burial
Place.


1t having been settled that Gen. Grant
I is TO be buried in Riverside Park, another
and perhaps a rather troublesome ques-
tiOn relative TO the burial place has been
raised. The Mayor aud Aldermen Of
New York, by resolution, gave the right
Of sepulture in the park 10 Gen. Grant,
and to Mrs. Grant upon her demise. They
ordered a deed Of cession, for the purpose
designated, to be made out to the ground
to be occupied by the tomb and monu-
ment.
The question has been raised
that the Mayor and Alder
men have exceeded their authority.
They cannot, it is claimed, donate any
part Of the park for the purpose con-
templated for any other purpose. The
most they can do is to lease property be-
longing to the city for period Of five
years, but they cannot lease a foot Of the
city's real estate for longer period.
They certainly cannot deed away any
part OF It unless authorized TO do 80 by
the Legislature.
The New York Sun holds that Gen.
Grant cannot legally be buried in River
side park. "The only way" it says, Ito
plausibly evade the law, or to eyade it
with some show of pretext, is to consider
the grave as an adjunct to the monument
which is to be erected to adorn the park"
1t is probable that the position taken by
the SIM is correct. No one would raise
any objection, perhaps. if the Mayor and
Aldermen should carry out their pro-
gramme with respect to the deed, but it is
probable that the Grant family would pre-
fer to have the matter arranged 80 that
there could be no question about it in the
future.
1t is deemed necessary that there shall
be a cessiOn of the spot occupied by the
tomb. Application will be made to the
Legislature, doubtless, for authority for
that purpose next winter.

Congress owes il TO the older, well-settled
and prosperous States to be cautious and slow
In admitting any new territorial communities

them. We are not aware that the recognition
OF Dakota as a State would be of any particu-
lar benefit to the rest OF US. But Il is perfect
~ evident that, even as a single member of
the federation, Dakota would enjoy remark %
able privileges, which rhe has done nothing
special TO deserve. at the expense of the other
members of the Union. The idea of making
two states Of Dakota instead Of one is just
twice as iDtOlerabe. and should not be enter

Protection for Children

Persons not familiar with the code Of
Georgia will doubtless be surprised to
learn that there is almost no provision
made in it for the protection of children
from debasing and demO-alizing in
fuences. We have laws that provide for
the punishment Of those who use obscene
language in the presence of females, and
for the punishment OF those who do GER
tain other acts offensive to mOdestY and
purity, but so far as children are CON
cerned they are left with scarce the sem
blanee of protection against a class of
villains who take pleasure in teaching
them profanity and vice almost before
they are able to repeat a prayer.
This is a matter of more importance
than it VIII appear to be in the minds of
those who are not parents. There are GER
tain districts in Savannah, perhaps in ev-
cry other city, in which no child can walk
a hundred yards without hearing the most
horrid oaths and the vilest expressions
which the human tongue can utter. These
districts are usually full of children who
are accustomed to such language from
infancy. Is it any wonder that they grow
up to be rOughs and criminals? 1t would,
perhaps, be difficult for time to enforce
n law for their protection. but such law
should be on our statute book, and means
would eventually be provided for making
it effective.
How many children in this city are dur
ing the greater part Of their childhood
left in charge Of nurses who come from
the lowest and most depraved classes, It is
difficult to tell. Doubtless, there are hun
dreds of them, and there are hundreds of
mothers who burden themselves with the
care of their infants simply because they
find it impossible TO procure nurses who
are fitted by character and training to be
entrusted with the care of children.
There are many persons not worthy to
be called men and women who take Il
tiendish delight in teaching immortality
and vice TO the young, and yet many of
their damnable practices are perfectly
legal under our so-called model code.
There is much that cen be said on this
subject, and much that must be left un.
said. Parents who love their little ones,
and who want them to grow up to be
right-minded and virtuOus men and
women, ought to see to IL that they are
protected from evil in every possible way

Interesting assessment Figures.

Interesting Assessment Figures.
AS a curiosity the Brooklyn Union a
day or two ago published list of the tax
payers in that city who are taxed for
$4,000 and upward on personal proper ty.
Brooklyn is very large city, but the
list which the Un,oR publishes is re-
markably small, and it is noticeable that
even in this small list the great majority
have Just $1,000 worth of personal prop
erty.
The number assessed for as much as
100000 is only three, while only five ad-
hit they are possessed Of as large an
amount as $4,000. There doesn't appear
20 be anybody whose personal property is
over $4,000 and under 100000. There
are five who say they have 10000, and
three who have S25, 600. One has S20,0
sixteen $4,000, and sixty-six $4,000.
II the taxpayers OF Brooklyn MAKE
oath to their returns either they are not
as rich as they are believed TO be or
they have very elastic consciences.
But, assuming that these Brooklyn peO-
pie have failed to return all, or even a
small part, OF the properly they are re-
quired by law 20 return, is the condition
OF affairs very different there from what
il is in about every other city and every
county in the country
IL is proposed 20 increase the tax rate
in this State, but before that is done
would IL not be well TO enact law that
will secure fair valuation OF real estate
in all parts Of the State, and fair return
of personal propertyf Honest taxpayers
are getting tired Of bearing not only their
own, but, also, the burdens that should be
borne boy tax-dodgers.
