NO CHANGE TO BE MADE.

During several weeks past there has
been much speculation in the minds OF
New Workers as to whether General
Grants body w.u remain there or be
removed from the state. These doubts
grew out of a recent public statement
attributed to the Hon. j. B. Chaffee
thatthe family did not wish the generals
body to remain in that city, and that
congress at its next session would take
action in the matter. In order to make
sure about the matter the Grant Monu-
ment Association decided to take ac-
ton, and, October l6, Mayor Grace, its
vice president, wrote letter to Mrs.
Grant stating the rumors atsone length,
saying that they were likely to inter
iere seriously with the faisilg oi FUNDS
tor the monument, and asking her to
make a definite and positive statement
upon the subject to be given to the pub
lie. Her reply was as follows:
NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Dear Sir
Your letter of October l6 came during
nv absence and was received on my
return from Long Branch. Riverside
was selected by myself and family as
the burial place of my husband, Gen.
Grant. e..
First-Because l believed New York
was his preference.
SecOnd-It is near the residence that
[ hope to occupy rs long as | live, and
where l will be able to visit his resting
place often.
Third have believed and am now
convinced that the tomb will be visited
by as many of his cOuntrymen here as
it would be at any other place, and
Fourth-The offer of a park in New
York was the first which observed and
unreservedly assented to the only con-
dition imposed by Gen. Grant himself,
namely: that should have a place
by his side. am, sir, very respect
fully, JULIA d. GRANT.

WHY WE ARE POOR.

We have been asked, 'Why is it that
newspaper men are poor?' The ques-
ton is easily answered. A newspaper
man devOtes all his time to building up
a town in which he is interested. He
gives his time and money (what little
he has to help along all that is benefic-
ial to his section. He puffs the town,
country and its business men, thinking
that in time they will see where they
have been benefited by his labors and
will support him liberally. He works
like dog for those doing business in
his town, protecting their interests
and trying to make whatever they may
be engaged in a success. When some of
these men are approached for their pat
ronage, they say that they can get their
printing done cheaper abroad. They
do not stop to think how many dollars
worth of free advertising the home
paper does for them yearly by MENTION
ing their important business transac-
tions and social improvements. These
'nv"rs ars all forgotten when they are
cAii''d upon to help support the home
paper They sympathize with the
poor editor and wonder why he does
not get along better, but keep on in
the same path, sponging what they have
done at home and sending abroad for
that which would 60 toward supporting
the home paper.

DEPEW ON JOHNSON.

From the Dallas, Texas, News.l
Is it probable that justice would be
done to Andrew johnson by any
republican politician? Channcey NJ.
Depew IS a republican politician. The
difference between johnson and Grant
was not concealed from the e'public, but
its precise nature and extent, if undis-
covered, as yet, will not be found in the
representations proceeding from parti-
sans. An American writer has said.
that if we are to take mans charac-
ter from his enemies, we shall place a
very low estimate on Jeferson's or
Hamilton's claims to truth, chastity,
good faith, or common honesty. JET
ferson was denounced by the whole
federal party as an atheist, profigate
and rogue, who had cheated his British
creditors, and devoEred the portion of
the widow and orphan; a blasphemer
who said of a dilapidated church of
Christ "that it was good enough for
one who was born in manger." He
was regarded as crafty, base, design
ing. destitute of every virtue, the ene-
my Of law, order and stable govern
ment. Hamilton, according to Randall,
the biographer of jefferson, was am
bilious, licentious, INSCRIPTIONS, false,
involved in an intrigue with England,
devoted to the getting up of fraudulent
financial schemes; caballer with
| Adams cabinet to ObtaiIf treacherous
disclosures for an attack on Adams
character; a deliberate proposer of q
shameless fraud to Jay, which Jay in
dignantiy -corned to countenance; q
promoter of standing armies, taxes and
debt, for his own aggrandizement!
Was there ever man prominent and
formidable in politics who was not a
monster at the rating of some, or
many, if not all OF his opponents?

CHEAP LABOR.
Century Magazine for September.

Century Magazine for September.l
1t is question for economists whetl,-
er such strong combinations of capital
as now exists, using their accumulated
power, are not actually forcing the rate
Of wages down to point at which all
trade is iDjnriously affected whether,
indeed, the present depression in bust
ness is not partly due to this case.
Cheap labor may be doubtful boon
after all to the manufacturer. Doubt
less he thinks it vitality important for
him to buy his labor i'm the cheapest
market; but he can also see that it
would be for his great advantage if all
the rest of the workmen could sell their
labor in the dearest market. Ii they
could they would have plenty of money
to spend and there would be a demand
for his wares. Wage workers are con-
sumers of goods and they constitute a
considerable share of the population.
Is it not for the Interest of the pro-
ducers of goods that there should be as
large a class of consumers as possible,
with plenty of money in their pockets?
When labor is poorly paid trade must
be duh. Combinations OF capital to
force down wages are thus avenged, to
a certain extent, by the losses of trade.
To what extent this occurs we are not
wide enough to tell; it is clear, how
ever, that Il reaction of this sort con-
stitutes no insignificant factor of the
present depression.

CANON FARRAR IN NEW YORK.

Last Friday Canon Farrar christened
an infant son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
NJ. Field at Cyrus w. Fields residence
at Dobbs' Ferry. The child, which is
a grandson of Cyrus, was named Har-
old Farrar. The banquet TO the arch
deacon in this city last evening was
very successful. In q speech he said
that of all bodies in the world parlia-
ment was the calmest and least likely
to be swayed by emotion. Twice he
had seen its members manifestly alive,
once when Mr.. Gladstone made use of
the words: t'Thc evils wrought by
drink are more deadly than the three
great scourges of war, famine and
pestilence, because more continuous"
81 do not undertake." said the canon.
"to say concerning America what may
be the stain on the hem of her garment
because of intemperance, but do say
of England that not only is the hem
stained, but it has dyed all her white
robes deep enough and carmine enough
TO incarnadine all the seas over which
she rules"
John Il. Cough travelled 1000 miles
to be present. There was an impress
sive scene when in closing his short
address he stepped forward and ex-
claimed: "God bless you, Canon Far
rar,f what you have done for human
ity."
The guest of the evening bowed as if.
receiving a benedictiOn, and Mr.. Cough
repeated his words, which greatly
moved the audience.

THE WAY TO ADVERTISE.

Occasionally we find little fello "
who pretends to believe advertising
does not pay. What would such a

Crawford & Co., of the same city, spent
$4,000 in the same way at the some
time. The idea of any intelligent
creature pretending that advertising
does not pay, in the face of the fact
that not single man has ever
attained distinction in the mer.
camille line who has not been a liberal
