A Republican Concession.

From the rhicdg0 Nedos (Lnd.)
The Chicago Tribune, welcoming the Mug
Wumps back to the Republican household,
says the fatted calf cannot be killed, but the
spare chamber will be cleaned up and fresh
linen put on the bed. 1t is somewhat reas-
suring to know that the Republican organ
recognizes the fact that the linen has been
very much soiled. If the Republican house
hold viii keep itself clean the Mugwumps
will be glad TO remain

The conflicting rumors regarding
negotiations for the sale of the Delaware,
Maryland q Virginia railroad system are
settled now by the assurance of Superin-
tendent Mills, given to the GAZETTE
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has bought and taken possession Of the
road. We think the change of owner
ship will be a grand thing for Sussex
county generally and for Rehoboth in
particular. In natural advantages Reho-
both is away ahead of Cape May but it
has never as yet been given fair chance
among seaside resorts. There have been
various reasons for this, but all the OBJ
structions except lack of capital and
enterprise have been swept away, and the
acquisition of this railroad system by the
Pennsylvania company is full of promise
for the removal of these distractions.
Fast trains, capital and liberal policy
can build up another Atlantic City at Re.
hoboth.

An Order Which Secretary stanton
Did Not Disregard.

WASHINGTON, July 2G. Senator Morgan

the magnanimity of Gen. Grant, related
the following, of which he was personally

He was afterwards taken and carried,

was thought, of asthma, and his wife came
here to ask his relense on giving the re-
quired bond. She went to President
johnson, and he gave her the necessary
order, which she took back to Secretary
Stanton. Stanton read the order, and,
looking her in the face, tore it up without
word and pitched ii into his waste
liasket. The lady arose and retired with
out speaking; nor did Stanton speak to
| her. She was filled with despair. She
| saw her husband, in whom her life was
wrapped up, dying in prison and she was
unable to help him.
| Shortly after she met gentleman,

reservations. No fitness whatever
can be found in the plan to
place the ex-President's grave in
a pleasure park, whetherit be the Central
in New York; Paramount, Philadelphia ;
Druid Hill, Baltimore, or any such park
anywhere. There is no fitness in New
York City beyond whit attaches to each

that, the incongruity of the tomb and
the incessant hustle, drive, gayety

ruled out Central Park It seems to be
an invasion of privacy to have public
controversy on the subject, but it has

SIR MOSES MoNrErroRn DEAD.
A Short Sketch OF the Grand Old
Hebrews Long Life.

Hebrews Long Life.
LONDON, July 2S.-Sir Moses Montefiore
died at 400 o'clock this afternoon.
REV men have lived to so noble endsa
this distinguished Hebrew philanthropist,
whose centenary, few months ago. was
celebrated all over the world. He was born
October Oath, 1884, and consequently
lacked less than three months of being
101 years old.
His father was an English merchant,
and traced his ancestry back to Spain,
| from the time when his forefathers where
driven by persecution to fee into Italy,
where the earlier Mentefiores amassed
great wealth. The baronets earlier years
| were passed in Italy, where he received
his education and began his business
career. In 1912 he married sister-in-
law of Nathan Meyer Rothschild,
the founder of the London branch of
the greatest banking establishment in the
world. He made his first trip to Palestine
in 1872, its purpose being to make n
personal investigation of the causes of the
abject state of the Hebrews residing in
that country. A result of his inquiries
was that the Palestine fund was estab-
lished for their relief, of which Sir
Moses Montefore has since been the
administrator. He has appointed Sheriff OF
London and Middlesex in 1887 and during
the same year was knighted by the Queen ut
Guildhall ON the occasion of her first official
visit to that city after her accession to the
throne, and in 1916. rs a recognition OF
his services in behalf of his race, both at
home and abroad, he was created u baro-
net. His influence with the Pacha o.
Egypt and the Sultan of Turkey in 1910,
after the massacre Mt Damascus his I'M
firing efforts with the Gar Nicholas IN
behalf of the Russian Jews in 1876; his
able and successful labors with LOUIS
Philippe, King of France, in reference TO
the persecution of 1847, and his
pleadings with the Spanish authorities in
1868, are all remembered with gratitude
and thanksgiving by the down-trodden OF
his race who have been benefited through
his exertions. The dream of this philnn-
thropist has been to seen Palestine tue
seat of Jewish empire and Jerusalem
its capital, and he has given the best
labors of his life to the accomplishment
of these objects.
For many years past the home of ''the
old man benefcent" "a merited title
known in all lands) had been at Fast
Cliff lodge, short distance from Rams
gate, the seaside resort where the Duchess
| of Kent, mother of Queen Victoria once
| resided.
