The death of Gen Grant, on Thurs
morning last, was duly proclaimed over
the civilized world, and produced a pro-
found sorrow. The expressions of
coincidence have come alike from North
and South. Gen. Grant died after a
prolonged painful illness, at the age of
over 63 years. The funeral will take
place on the Sth of August, in Central
Park, New York City. Eulogy will be
most fitting on that day over the re-
mains of the grandest man Of modern
times.

In regard to the President order on
the removal Of cattle from Indian reser-
vations, the St. Louis Globe Democrat
scnsibly says:
The Western people are fully prepar-
ed to sympathize with the Indians in
the swindles that have from time to
time been perpetrated upon them by
thoughtless or INSCRIPTIONS white men,
but it may be doubted whether Presi-
dent Cleveland has not acted hastily in
the cattle proclamation. The contracts
with the Indians were made in good
faith, and sufficient time was given to
allow objections and circumstances to
be filed before any attempt was made to
carry out the provisions of the agree
men,s. Besides this, there seems to
be no outward appearance of illesality
on the contracts as made, they being
approved by the agents in due form and
consented to by the larger part of the
Indians. There is another point to be
taken into consideration, which also
should have some weight: the fact that
many hundreds, if not thousands, of
Western people have invested their for
tunes in the cattle business under the
encouragement given by these contracts,
and a sudden and violent expulsion of
the herds from the Territory will be
pretty equivalent to the confiscation Of
chat much property. To sell the cat
tie now would be an almost total loss,
as might be supposed when SIG, 100000
worth of property of this kind is thrown
upon the market, while scarcely any
resource other than a forced sale is left
to the owners. The President has act
ed upon onc-sided statement, putting
the cattlemen in a false light before
the world.

BLAINE AND HIS CANDIDACY.
A Relative and a Friend Who Say He will
Not Try for the Presidency Again.


From, the Nesp York World.
81 saw Mr.. Blaine recently" SAID Col.
Frank A. Burr at the st. James hotel yes
terday. she has been having great
deal of trouble with his publishers. Mr..
Blaine told me that he began at first to
write each day about 900 words on his
book. He kept this up through the first
volume and for a short time afterwards,
but he was compelled to drop the workdur-
ing the campaign and thus lost much valu-
able time. When the campaign closed Mr.
Blaine turned at once TO his work and for
got what regret he might have felt at his
defeat in trying TO catch up for lost time
on his book. You know he entered into a
contract with his publishers TO finish his
history within a specified time. 1t was
to be completed, l think, in two years
from the commencement of the first vol
ume. The Statute of Limitations with
Mr.. Blaine's publishers expires in about
month. Mr.. Blaine has managed TO fin
ish his book, but il has kept him a close
prisoner for months. He could not have
been more closely confined at Sing Sing.
He has lost about fifteen pounds in
weight during the summer and fall, aud
have no doubt he will gladly welcome MS
release from bondage. A man is a fool
a stipulated time. There are so MANY
days one cannot write that before one
knows it he finds himself confronted
with an almost impossible task which
Is as much as his life is worth to try 10
accomplish.
'sFor my part" Col. Burr added. II do
not think Mr.. Blaine Will ever again be a
a candidate for the Presidency"
This idea was borne out by a cousin of
Mr.. Blaine, who is in New York for a
few weeks. 81 do not think" he said,
''that Mr.. Blaine has any idea of entering
the canvass again. He will not emerge
from his retirement. 1t was against his
inclination that he accepted the nOmina-
tlon last year, and l can think Of 10 in
ducement that could persuade him to try
IL over again."
''In other words he is not willing 10 20
through another canvass Of Islander and
mud-slinging, even with the Presidency
in the distance"
'sNO. / don't think Blaine would oppose
Logan, and II Black jack should be NOM
mated in 1888 Mr.. Blaine would probably
take the stump for him. But il seems 10
me that the Republicans will have 10 heal
up their differences before they can hope
to win another national contest. Blaine.
believe, will have this much 10 do with
the next National Republican Conven-
ton. lie will prevent the nomination OF
any ayowed opponent like EdmuDds. 1t
may be considered good policy not 20
nominate quite such a pronounced man
as Logan, but in any event the nominee
OF TIE convention VIII not be an enemy 10
the last Republican candidate"
