AAOH W
NEW YORK, September 2Sth.-The Herald
says, editorially: Rev. Herber Newton
, preached yesterday on subject afforded bv
the death of Grant. Newton reviewed
briefly the relations of Grant to the country
| and the times, and incidentally took occa-
sion to make some rather unpleasant and
| possibly not wholly undeserved remarks
| concerning Ferdinand Ward The speaker
! diverged TO the question of the monument
| TO the great soldier, and was explicit in his
| declaration against the conventional memo
rial of stone and mortar. Newton voices
| the sentiments of q large number of his
| fellow -countrymen in his expression of
| this opinion, but whether his specific
! recommendation that, in place of the too
! frequent cOlumnar monuments of America
| a Chelsea hospital should be established in
| commemoration of Grant, would be widely
| accepted or not, remains to be tested. For
| ourselves, we are free to say that we are
| confirmed daily in our disapproval of the
| plan that Grant be memoriZed bv his
countymen in merely columnar marble
granite or bronze, to the amount of 81 .0O0.-
| 600. So much money can be expended to
much better advantage and to the greater
| honor of Grant in some other way.
| Cholera Germs and Infected Fruit.
New YORK, September 2Sth.-Parties in
| terested in California raisinS here are feel
ing irritated at the imputation that all the
talk of cholera germs in foreign fruit orig
| mated in San Francisco, and was for the
purpose OF booming the Pacific coast crops.
| They have made investigations on their
| own account. In the Spanish newspapers
! published at Denia, devoted to the interests
of the fruit trade, they found an article on
! the progress of cholera in the district and
the measures to be adopted to check it,
! Among these were the disinfection of
| houses by Sulphuric acid, and of the clothes
of the sick and deceased by immersion in
water kept at boiling Epoint, in caldrons
used for scalding raisins.
BoIting Hill.
New YORK, September 2Sth.-The SlaaLs
| Zeitiag, the leading German Democratic
paper here, bolts Hill Its editor SAYS
| The Democratic Convention has seen fit
| to nominate a candidate whose election
| must from the beginning appear to be more
than doubtful, and the leaders who brought
about this result must be held responsible
for the defeat of their party, which seems
to be almost inevitable German voters.
who are not exclusively guided by the
liquor interests, will in all likelihood, de-

doubt draw a considerably larger German
vote than that cast for Blaine
