Whenever England is sore pressed in her
foreign wers the unfriendly continental
powers lose no time in starting reports cal
culated to increase her anxiety. The recent
rumors of Russa's advance upon the Indian
frontier can consequently be traced to alarm
lists. But the reports of an increase in her
armament seem to be well authenticated
and therefore cannot fail to cause anxiety in
England regarding British possessions in
the east. English statesmen know that the
Russian advance toward the Indian frontier
has thus far been steady and substantial,
and that it would be thoroughly character
istic of Russia to take advantage of England's
present crippled condition to push it further.
Russia understands better than England the
Importance of making Persia the base of
operations and shoula an advance be made
from that point. as is predicted, England
would experience great difficulty in main
ta.ning the Hindoo Koosh mountains as the
natural boundary of the Indian Empire.

AN exceedingly regrcttable controversy
has arisen over the choice of a burial
place for General Grant. Riverside park
has been fixed upon, and the newspapers
-some of them at least-arc much
wrought up over it. The Chicago Tri-
L,tue said, editorially, Wednesday
1t now seems to be definitely settled
that the remains of General Grant. in
disregard of the eternal fitness of things.
are to be buried in Riverside park, which
is merely an extension of Central park.
1t is no use to mince matters in this con-
nectiOn. New York has always been n
plague spot on the body polite. 1t is the
un-American and unnational city in the
nitcd States. During the revolution it
was hot bed of tories; it was never out
spoken in its protest against English in
Justice and despotism. The lapse of n
century has made little change in their
sentiment. Its so-called best society"
is composed of flunliies and toadies whose
principal object in life is to ape English
habits and customs and to dress, eat. walk
and talk as English swells and plutocrats
do. There is not Americansm enough
in all New \ ork society life, so far as
known, to make one man of the robust.
live quality which characterized General
Grant. 1t is the dumping
ground for everything un-American, and
it should be remembered that while Gen.
Grant was in the field fighting like Her
cules to save the Union, New \ ork city
was very hot bed of copperheadism.
disloyalty and secession. When he retired
from public life and went there to live. its
Wall street sharpers traded upon his
name and influence and fleeced him and
every member of his family and all his
relatives out of all they had. What
claim has New York city for the high
and priceless honor of receiving and
guarding the remains of the old Union
hero: When the time of immediate grief
has passed the condemnation will be
more outspoken than it is now, and then
the general judgment will ibe that the
selection of the city of New York as the
bural-place was an undcserved cOnces-
sion of honor upon the city which had
never been his friend and which had no
claims upon him.

THE removal of General Wells from
the office of collector of customs for the
district of Vermont and the appointment
of Bradley b. Smalley to the place thus
made vacant causes not a little stir in the
State. No one objects to Mr.. Smalley
personally. He is courteous and able
man, perfectly competent to administer
the Office to the satisfaction of the public
aud the government, and there is every
reason to suppose that he will do his full
duty as an official. But in these respects
he can be no Improvement upon General
Wells. whose administration has been
clean in every way. The fact appears to
be that there are those among the Demo-
Gratis of the State who think that man S
Republicanism is sufficient cause for re-
moval from federal office; indeed, Mr..
Smalley frankly said in a recent inter
view that such were his views. OF
course this is mere matter of opinion !;
and those who hold sentiments of this
sort have perfect right to do so. They
have apparently acted up to their profess
sions in this case and persuaded the
President that they are right. With him
lies the blame, if anywhere. He started
of with a proclamation that he would
adhere to the principles of civil service
reform, and the retention of Postmaster
Pearson gave ground for the belief that
the President was sincere. 1t looks now
as if he had found the civil service re-
form doctrines impracticable; that they
would bring him to wreck and ruin rs a
politician if strictly followed. Should
this be the true reason of the changes at
Burlington and elsewhere, then it ought
to be understood. Let us have one thing
or the Other-either avowed adherence to
the idea that "to the victors belong the
spoils," or a well-defined plan as to the
retention in Office of worthy and faithful
officials regardless of their politics. AS
things are going on there is a fine pros
pect for mOnkey-and-parrot kind of a
time when the nominations now making
come up in the Senate next winter for
confirmation.

stood among the first of his class in the high
school. from which he graduated in june and
was intending TO enter college here in September
His death was a very severe blow to his widow
ed mother and other members of the family and
was deeply regretted by his associates IN school.
Ills natural ability, consclentOusness love OF the
truth and right, gave promise of a useful life /;
and that he should die so yOung-seventcen years
of age-was a greivous disappointment. He had
the advantage of birth and training in n Christian
home amid an atmosphere of truth, purity and
faith, and was converted at ten years OF age; but
had not united with any church. During his
four weeks illness the faith of his childhood re-
vyed, and peaceful expectation OF Heaven pos
sessed and cheered him No word of complaint
or rebellion against the providence that had
dashed all his earthly hopes escaped him, and he
only regretted that he had not lived with devo-
ton to Christ. Naturally delicate, he had over
taxed himself in study, and in few days after
his graduation was stricken with typhoid fever,
from which he died after an IL nessIof four weeks.
The funeral services Were held at his unclc's,
