Thousands of visitors will be in the city to-
morrow. and their attention is called to the
subscription lists at the hotels in behalf of the
Grant Monument Fund. They will have no
better opportunity to contribute something to
help raise fitting memorial to the dead hero.
The amount raised up to last night was
$23, 1928.
Professor Rigard and other persons con-
nccted with the United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey must come promptly forward In
their own defence, or forever after this hold
their peace. The report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges OF the First
Auditor of the Treasury makes damag-
ing showing of incompetency and wrong doing.
The accused men will not, of course, be con-
demned unheard.
The memorial services in Paris, tomorrow, in
honor of General Grant seem to be entirely in
the hands of Americans, and in no way to repre-
sent the French people, The service at West
minister Abbey on the other hand, was a tribute
ofrespect and regard from the English people.
But after all, our regard for England and hers
for us is founded on blood relationship; and
blood is thicker than water, or even political
friendship between Nations.
The spirits of the Boston admirers of the
Puritan must fall in proportion as their respect
for the Priscilla rises. Twice has the Yankee
yacht been defeated by the NewYorker-at
New Bedford on Wednesday and yesterday at
Cottage City. Yet what will it profit this
proud metropolis if the Priscilla beats the
Puritan only in turn to be beaten by the
English Genestas Nothing In the revised
language of vexatiOn, all will have been
"vanity and a striving after wind"
The municipal authorities of Marscilles con-
tinue to deny the existence of cholera in their
city as an epidemic. But their denials are
needed, and preparations to keep the disease
out of England, Italy and other countries hav-
ing commercial relations with the South of
France are making with great thoroughness.
We take it for granted that our own Quarantine
authorities place no trust in the assertions of
the Marseilles officials. In Spain the violence
of the disease is decreasing although new cases
reaching thousands are reported daily. But the
proportion of deaths has fallen from one half
to one third
If Commissioner Squire feels hurt about hav-
ing to take his alleged poetry down from the
entrance to the City Hail. he has no one to
blame but himself. His grotesque rhymes
never should have been put up However, it
may be said that they either should have been
remove a week ago they might have been
left undisturbed at this late hour. Everybody
had ceased to notice them but now their UNI
couthness and Mr. Sqnire's bad taste are again
thrust into public view. Yet the Commissioner
may console himself with the thought that,
good, bad or Indifferent, his verses must be
commented upon for all time when this his
torioa, funeral is described, and perhaps it is
better to DO scarifed than not to lie noticed at
Ill.
As the season advances interest in baseball
matters verges on wild enthusiasm. 1t must be
admitted that such contests as that seen on the
Polo Grounds yesterday never fail to cause ex-
citement New York and Chicago pitted their
best mines against each other, and for ten in
nings the heroes Of the bat and ball commended
