Grants Soldiers and His Tomb,


THEY WANT HIM BURIED AT WASHINGTON.
From the New York sun.
There could be no stronger proof that the
Grant monument In New York must be built
by this city alone than the recent declaration
from the Grand Army Of the Republic. That
organization is composed of citizens of every
state and nearly every city in the Union, and
therefore they cannot be supposed to be in
fuenced by local pride or jealousy.
Yet we are informed that they intend to
ignore the present burial site of Gen. Grant,
and raise fund for the erection of monu.
ment to his memory in Washington. Gen. s.
8. Burdett, the present head OF the organza-
ton, said when declaring this intention: 81
don't think that the day is far distant when
Gen. Grants remains will be placed in Wash.
ington."
Now that 1t may be regarded as settled that
the monument here is to be exclusively the
product OF New York. and in no wise national
mem oria1 the citizens of this town should not
wait for outside subscriptions, but should raise
the sum proposed Immediately. That should
be done whether Gen. Burdett'S prophecy is
destined to come true or not.

CHURCH AND STATE AT ONE.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale's Address ~
Chaut0uUua.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, August 1S.-Rev. Dr.
Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, lectured at 8
o'clock this morning on Parish work in cities"
speaking especially of the use of the church for
the improvement of the public life. He said
that at every college commencement some fool
declared that in this country the church and
state were absolutely separate, while the fact
was that the same men who controlled the
church virtually controlled the state also. The
church and state are, therefore, substantially
united in America. The church should remain
open not simply three hours on Sunday ,
but on all the days and nights OF
the week for exercises and gatherings which
would promote culture and sociabiity as well
as the religious life. The church should hold
temperance meetings and not leave instruction
or work in this line to hireling campaigners
who speak for S10a night. DIR. Hale spoke Of
the efficient aid given by the Chautauqua cir
Giles to church work in the direction alluded to
by him.
The Chautauqua Society of Fine Arts is to be
organized on the arrival OF Mr.. Charles Bar
nard, who is to deliver the opening address.
A Chautauqua University convocation was
held at IL o'clock this morning, and an adj
dress was delivered by Rev. r. ). Holmes, reg
istrar of the university, of Plainfeld, n. who
explained the system of instruction, which
embraces all the branches of college study and
is designed to assist people who are not able
to attend college to pursue and complete q full
college course at their homes by means of cor
respondence and local teachers, either in four
years or sixteen as they may have time to de-
vote to their studies.

that Gen.. Hoadly will be renominated.
