When tough old soldier finally dies in his
bed after hundred battles, the fact is thought
worthy OF comment. But the dangers are not
altogether those of war. II is said that scarcely
q day passed in Vanderbilts life in which he
was not threatened with death unless he COM
Piled with demand for money. He never took
any precautions, however, to avoid the assaults
OF desperate or insane persons and was never
actually attacked by any one. But he lived,
none the less. with such a contingency always
before him. Moreover, both in his business and
In his favorite recreation he was constantly
exposed to instant death. He was in the habit
OF flying over his railroads at the highest attain
able speed. and he loved nothing so much as to
urive horses OF phenomenal powers. 1t will be
remembered that two or three years ago he was
thrown out of his wagon by a collision on the
road and Knocked senseless. But he survived
all the dangers of wealth and business and
pleasure to die quietly in his library

THE revelations made concerning unlawful
and dishonest practices by township trustees
are enough to call sufficient attention to these
officials and the law that should regulate their
acts to compel such legislation as will prevent
the issue of warrants for the purpose of
swindling the people. Strangely enough this
officer is so lightly regarded by the public
that in an election of trustee alone not cor
poral's guard could be mustered at the polls
Yet he has practically unlimited control of the
townships finances. He has in his hands, to
do with as he pleases, all the funds of the
township, except the tuition fund, which
alone cannot be drawn on in advance. It is
the trustee who levies the taxes that come
home to the individual, and altogether he is
an official of the greatest Importance. The
neglect attending the selection of this official,
and the laxity of the law that has been drawn
to hold him to accountability, is paralleled
only by the same thing relative to city
Council. The very officers that should re-
ceive the greatest attention are largely over
looked by the people, and township and mu-
nicipal elections only too often are relegated
to the attention of men who have little at
stake, or who wish to accomplish something

its busy harbor below, and Long Island Sound

of our comrades would have preferred Washing
ton City as the burial place of cur dead General,
But let us examine the facts and precedents
President Washington is buried at Mount Yer

capitol So may it be with Grant Each city,
town and even hamlet may have whatever
monument they willing to erect; but it seems
to me better that all should unite and build q
strong. solid simple monument, characteristic
OF the man, over his grave on the banks of the
Hudson. and them like Shakespeare, inscribe
thereon,
Good friend for Jesus sake forbear
10 digg the dust enclosed heare
Blest be ye man vt spares these stones,
And curst be vt moves my bones.
Grant needs no monument to perpetuate the
memory of his virtues--his weaknesses lie
buried with his bones. But if one or more
monuments are to be erected to crafty the
living, let them be like himself strong,
simple. durable, and in good taste. Better
initiate his example, "accept the situation,
and erect one good monument on the banks of
the Hudson, where he now lies buried, in peace
and at rest eternal
Ma orgeneral John B. Sanborn, of Minnesota,
then delivered Grafton, touching upon the
career of General Grant and dilating upon the
deeds of the Army of the Tennessee. Various
short addresses concluded the exercises of the
evening.

that Secretary Lamar will soon succeed Sec

'THEY are endeavoring to force Foraker to
declare himself on the prohibition question. +"
So says the Louisville Courier-J Journal We
are not managing the Ohio canvass, nor are
we in the position of adviser to Judge For
aker; but if anybody is in great distress to
know how he stands upon prohibition, the
Judge should relieve them at once. There is
nothing gained by concealment. Judge For
aker can afford to tell the people of Ohio pre-
cisely his opinion as to the proper method of
Regulating" the liquor traffic

for themselves in particular These officials
should be most carefully selected, and the
election approaching in this city should
interest every honest man in the
community. Men who have axes to
grind or favors to ask will be
active and alert. A powerful organization OPP
posed to the best interests of the city has al
ready entered the field, and set up its candi-
date, and proclaimed its purpose to abrogate
certain laws and to avoid the payment of a
just portion of the taxes necessary to carry
on the city government. 1t is the duty of
good men to rally to the aid of such as pledge
an impartial enforcement of the law an fair
division Of the burden OF taxation.

The Memphis Avalanche thinks the race
question ought to be allowed to settle itself,
and that 'the issue having just been taken
out of politics should be allowed to stay out. "
It is undoubtedly desirable that the question
should be settled, but the plan of settling it
and taking it out of politics by suppressing
one race though highly popular in the South,
is one that does not obtain in the North. For
further particulars on this head the Avalanche
is referred to Senator Sherman's latest speech.

An Honorable Thing In MIR. Cleveland.

Washington Special.
1t is said that Secretary 'Endicott speaking of
Morton's candidacy for the Augusta postoffice]
remarked to friend in Boston, the other day:
''You may be sure of one thing. The President
would not appoint Mr.. Morton if every Demo
crat in Maine requested it."
The Secretary explained that the President
did not question Mr.. Morton's Democracy, but
he did question his manliness. He was willing
to allow newspaper great latitude in political
campaign, but when an editor paraded a vile
scandal against a candidate before the people of
his own city for the purpose of outraging the
feelings of the members OF his family the Pres
dent regarded such an individual as less than a
man, and he would not appoint him to Office
under any circumstances

MANY Washington specials: "The Presi-
dent and Colonel Lamont travelled in Presi-
dent Winslow's private car"
Let's see, it is about five months since it
was proudly announced, as an evidence Of
Democratic simplicity and virtue on the part
of Mr. Cleveland, that he accepted no favors
from corporations, and always paid his own
railroad fare. Is it impertinent to wonder
what he paid for Winslows private car on his
latest trip referred to above?

General Lew Wallace, who, in his tweed suit,
low hat and glasses looks more like the Literary
fellow" he claims to be than the diplomatic that
he really is has been instrumental in securing
for Jesse Grant the position of civil engineer on
a railroad in Turkey. 1t would be surprising if
it transpired that the project originated in the
active brain Of the General during his official
term in the Orient. though he disclaims any
honor while admitting the advantages of the
scheme. Mr. Jesse Grant sailed yesterday but
General Wallace will remain in this country
and will soon get to work On another novel,
while reapine good harvest from those that
have already been published.

A DISTINGUISHED and prominent Democrat

in the railway mail service and assigned to
