THE CREATIONS.

There is perhaps no parallel in the his
tory of state funerals where so many ora
tons were delivered as at yesterdays obse-
quies. The similarity of estimates placed
upon the dead warriors character and
genius by the numberless orators will be
observed. Nor is this remarkable, for but
one estimate can be placed upon the dead
man. He taught his countrymen how TO
wear with modesty the garlands of a smil-
ing fortune, and he has also shown them
how to bear with manly composure the
most painful Affections and remain I'M
shaken in the presence of death. 1t is hardly
possible to sum up the character of GRANT
and rightly estimate his services to the re-
public within the first quarter of century
after his fame was won. The clear cold
light of unimpassioned inquiry
is required, and this light illumines
no epoch while the men who formed it
surviv e upon the earth. The civil war is
better. understood to-day than it was
decade ago, and it will be still better I'M
derstood fifty years hence. But in one par
ucular all OF his funeral orators agree. He
was the one indispensable man of the war.
That he was essentially soldier is con-
ceded by all. There was a time when DO
lltleal partisanship sought to thrust upon
him the honors of state craft, as in more
recent times knaves persuaded him to lend
his name to their business ventures. But
it is now clear enough that nature never
equipped his frank, generous nature, his
ample, courageous mind for the sinuosites
Of politics.
Among those who paid tribute to the
great man yesterday the majority we've his
comrades in arms, who had followed his
great leadership. Their hearts were filed
with love for the dead commander and in
eloquent language they told of that love and
of the just pride they felt in being permit
ted to eulogize him. And yet among them
all there was no more honest or touching

The Pooling i'm Texas.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. S.-Gov. Ireland
has addressed to Attorney General Temple
ton the following letter: Il call your at
tention to the late act of the legislature
demanding action against the railway
companies to break up and pre-
vent the consolidation of competing
lines. 1 also call your attention to the late
conferences in Galveston between the own
ers of lines in Texas. 1t is understood that
the main officers of some Of the principal
roads are to be or are being moved
out Of the state. There can be no doubt
that each main road in Texas is a Compel
ing line TO every other road i'm this state,
and that the consolidation can take
place without violating the provisions
Of the constitution and laws. l hope you
viii not delay again in this matter and then
the railroad companies may be required to
conform their action to the constitution
and laws"

ment made in a special dispatch published
in a Philadelphia paper to-day that consid-
cradle dissatisfaction exists among the
naval officers at the partisan manner in
W hich the secretary administers the affairs
OF the navy department. A special point
was made in the dispatch that the
board which made the adverse re-
port upon the Dolphin was composed of
two Democrats, Herman Winter and Capt.
Belknap, an enemy of eX-Secretary Chand-
Ter, Commander Robley ID. Evans and was
organized to condemn the vessel and bring
Secretary Chambers administration into
diSrepute. To a Star reporter Secretary
Whitney said that if any one could tell how
the members of that board voted, or if they
voted at all, he could not. Mr.. Herman
Winter, nc said, was selected because he
is the most eminent man in his
profession in civil life in the country. He
makes more money at his profession than
any other two men. 1t was a very difficult
matter to secure his services, which were
given for the sake of friendship, Mr.. Winter

naval officers who were available. Pol

CINCINNATI, Aug. s.-The passenger
train on the Cincinnati & Eastern railroad,
which left here at 10 o'clock this morning,
fell through trestle over Nine Mile creek,
about twenty miles from this city, with fatal
results. The distance to the creek was
forty feet, and the entire train, consisting
of an engine, one passenger coach and two
coal cars, crashed down. Mrs. Donaldson.
wife Of the master mechanic, was killed
outright and her two children dangerously
hurt. Conductor Durham had an arm and
two ribs broken Harry Moore of New

THE GRANT MONUMENT.

Now that the funeral is over the question
OF building a monument to Gen. GRANT
will be the next agitation. 1t has been a
custom among all people and all nations to
pay suitable honor to their heroic dead.
Each nation has its own method of per-
forming this patriotic act. The English
custom of gathering their dead heroes all
into one spot-of having them sleep
together-is perhaps the most appro-
pirate of all. There is something
loud and an unseemly extravaganza
In our American method of dotting the land
all over with huge piles of marble and brass
with what are intended to be enduring
monuments to our illustrious dead. but

AT REST.

It is over. The last sad rite has been
performed. Deaths distinguished victim has
been lowered into the tomb. The stone has
been placed against the mouth of the sepul-
chre and our dead hid from sight until the
stone shall roll away at the touch of angel
hands on the morning of the great resurree-
ton. The greatest soldier of recent times
sleeps his last sleep. The last days march
is over. For the last time his tent has been
pitched. Life, with its conflicts and toll
some marches, is ended. The final battle has
been fought. Peace has come and rest is
found. The great soldier has been mustered
out of earth's service and has gone home
for long and unbroken rest.
No such funeral ever took place on this
continent as that of yesterday The dead
warrior was carried to his resting place by
thousands of rugged veterans, the men
who fought with him and the men who
fought against him, all marching to the
beat of mufled drums, tolling bells and the
booming Of funeral cannon. The nation
stood with bowed head and fearful eve as
the solemn procession swept along. Even
the skies were draped with mourning en-
blems, and wept over the fresh-made grave
of Americas hero. In that grave are living
the failings of his life, while around it
shines in respondent glory the halo of his
great deeds.
Here turks no treason, here no envy swells,
Here grow no damned grudges; here are no
storms,
No noise, but silence and eternal sleep.

LATE ST.PAUL NEWS.
Arrested for Kidnapping.

John Anderson made complaint last night
at the police station against John Liddell
for kidnapping his brother, Louis Ander-
son. John says thathis brotheris cripple,
having had both feet frozen SO badly that
they were amputated. He was
taken to Minneapolis to beg
by Liddell three weeks ago and
since that time nothing has been heard
from him. Anderson made charges of a
very violent nature last night, even accus-
ing Liddell of making away with his
brother to get possession of $3.50, which, he
says, the cripple had on his person. Lid.
dell was arrested. The parties live in

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The shipments of
grain and provisions east-bound is a hard
nut for certain theorists to crack. For the
week in the fall of high rates and no more
apparent demand than for the previous two
weeks there is q rebound and an increase
over the previous week of S62 tons. Reason
Ing from the total one would be apt
to arrive at the conclusion that there was q
revival, the springing up of a demand, some
speculative movement that caused this re-
action. If such was the case all of the
trunk lines would show in it. but singularly
enough the Michigan Central is the
sole beneficiary of this increase.
During the previous week its total grain
tonnage was but 900 tons; this week it
comes to the front with 1872 tons. or al
most half of the total carried by the eight
roads, and on the three articles included in
the joint agreement table its percentage
jumps from SO per cent. to 32.7 per cent.
just exactly what the explanation of this
will be is puzzle. Of course
the uncharitable will have one to offer and
there will be hints of rebates, etc., but this
can hardly be, for the members of the COM
mittee met three times during the past week
and on each occasion agreed that Chicago
rates were firmly maintained and
that all of the roads were on
their best behavior in the matter. The fol-
lowing is issued by L. G. Moore, the Joint
agent. 1t includes the east-bound shipments
of flour, grain and provisions from Chicago
and tributary points for the week: Flour,
2,6O9; grain, Is, 773; provisions, Z. 729; total,

MANKATO, Mimi, Aug. S.-With thou
sands of other cities and villages throughout
the Union, Mankato stops the daily routine
of business to pay tribute to the memory of
great soldier and citizen. Citizens were
busy all day Friday with preparation, and
though the morning was cloudy the decora-
tons and dTaping of the city made fine
display. Many places of business were
arranged in original and tasty style.
The residence of DR.. Frisbee on
Second street was used as place for the
exercises and was appropriately decorated.
The order of the procession included all the
civic organizations of the city, the Wilkin

tribute than that paid by the Confederate
general, RossER, whose esteem for Gen.
GRANT, as he says, amounted TO affection.
RossER was one of the bravest spirits in
the Southern cause. He rode with STUART
and FITZ LEE in command of a famous
cavalry brigade, and his sword flashed in
every hot engagement of the army of North
ern Virginia. For two days at the Wilderness
RossER interposed his cavalry brigade TO
hold GRANTS right wing in check in order
TO give LEE time TO move his troops into
position and form his lines. Dismounting
his men and fighting them from behind
barbados made of fence rails, RossER
sullenly contested every inch of ground.
For this Service Gen. LEE christened the
force RossER commanded by the name Of
the 'Iourel Brigade" And yet yesterday
the chivalrous ex-rebel leader laid on the
grave of the great Union commander gar
land of eulogy as beautiful as it was frank
and generous. GRANT was a man of mag
unanimous strain, and not the least Of his
honors is In this, that, touched by his
magnanimity, won by his knightly bearing
in the hour of his triumph over them, his
honor will find no more jealous guardians
than the Southern soldiers who yielded up
their arms TO him at AppOmattoX.

How Cleveland snubbed an Editor.


NEW YORK, Aug. S.-ApropOs of the
presidents journey. it was said by some of
his friends to-day that they did not expect
WhiIelaw Reid to invite the chief magis-
trate To dinner during Mr.. Cleye!and's stay
in New York. There is little story con
nected with this which is as interesting as
it is true. Notwithstanding the abusive
treatment of Gov. Cleveland i'm the columns
or the Tribune, the editor of that paper adj
dressed Cleveland a letter shortly after the
election, asking him to call upon him when
he came to New York. This
letter, it is unnecessary to say,
was never answered. When the
president visited New York late in the
winter for the purpose of meeting the
leaders in the Democratic party, with
whom he was unacquainted, Mr.. Reid was
one of the first To call and pay his respects.
As he rose 10 leave he whispered in the
presidents ear: you have not told me
when you will dine with me-" Looking
him full in the face the president replied:
Il read an able editorial in your paper
few weeks ago saying that l ate with my
knife, ana that my manners were not those
of a gentleman. | don't think under the
circumstances that you will feel aggrieved
at my refusing the invitation" Mr. Reid.
as the story goes, passed out of the room

On being questioned she told them that her
husband said he was nephew of Senator
Joe Mcdonald of Indianapolis, that he had
married her to give her home, and be-
cause he loved her. The new-made wife,
however, did not like the treatment of her
liege lord and considered his methods of
matrimonial devotion too much at variance
with her own ideas on that point He
wanted to whip her, she says, and threat
ened to kill her. One day of married life
was quite enough for her and she preferred
to return to her former life of single bless
edness. Kelly disappeared suddenly the
next day and has not been heard of since.
