THE Western Union telegraph company
has authorized its off ce managers through.
out the country to receive and receipt for
subscriptions to the fund for a monument
to be erected in New York city to the
memory Of General Grant. While the
citizens of Omaha will no doubt contrib
ute libsrally to Grant monument fund,
there Is a feeling that their contributions
shc uld be devoted to a Grant monument
In Omaha. New York Is abundsntly
able to erect a magnificent monument to
p%erpetuate the memory Of General Grant,
without calling upon the country at large
for contributions The probability Is
that a Grant monument will be erected
In every large city CT the country-in
Boston, Philadelphia, Chi,ago, Washing
ton, st. Louis, and other places. Chi
cago has already inaugurated a move
ment to secure funds for a hand
come monument In Lincoln park.
Every newspaper In that city is acting as
an agent of the fund. Now 1t strikes US
that Omaha, which is the headquarters of
the military department of the Platte,
and the metropolis Of a state whose pop
ulation is largely composed Of soldieas of
the civil war, ought to have a Grant
monument of Its own, either In Hanscom
park, or on Jetfsraon square, or at Fort
Omaha. Gen. Grant was well known In
Omaha. having paid this city several
visits, and among our citizens he had
many warm personal friends. Let US
have a Grant monument of our own. We
make the suggestion, and hope that 1t
will receive due consideration.

a scsnty livelihood by repairing mail
sacks, In order TO provide places for four
stout able bodied democrats. Mr.. Jones,
who rs an old mots-bsck, and has EVIL.
IDENTIFY not heard tf civil service reform,
when called TO account for this conduct
replied that the Offices belonged to the
democrats, and that he had improved the
service by making the changes. Charges
have been preferred against him by the
civil service reformers, who are indignant
that Jones should have appointed his
sons to positions In his own Office. The
civil service commission, sent by Presi-
dent Cleveland to investigate the charges,
will probably find them all true and will
very likely recommend that Mr..
Jones be given his walking papers
In order to make room for
q democrat whose ideas Of civil service re.
form are more In accord with those Of
President Cleveland. We can not
see what else the commission can do, but
whether Mr.. Cleveland will act In &C.
cordance with any such recommendation
and make an example of Jones, remains
to be seen. If he does not, his sincerity
as o civil service reformer will be ques.
toned. The fact Ia that the conduct OF
Jones places Pre- sident Cleveland in a
very delicate condition. If he removes
Jones he will antagonizs Hendricks, who
sticks by his postmaster. II he permits
Jones to remain, then Hendricks and his
friends, who believe that the president
dare not interfere In the matter, will trl-
umphantly crow over Mr.. Cleveland, and
at once proceed to carry out the spoils
system in every city and town of Indiana.
Under all the circumstances we will
wager that Mr.. Jones, like Higgins at
Washington. will continue to hold the
fort.

THE Canadian Pacific Telegraph system

THE Canadian Pacific Telegraph system
will be thrown open to the public within

Gould endeavored to gobbls this system

Had he succeeded In this scheme 1t would
have proved aproftable piece of strategy,
as 1t Is proposed to connect the Canadian
Pacific lines by q cable with Australia,
China and Japan, thus actually enclrc-
ling the globe with the electric current.

terday if the cancer at the base of the
tongue had not improved with the general
betterment OF the patient, and if the cancer
GUS lump was an open sore. In replying, he
said he could not affirm that there was
an improvement of the cancer. 1t
was difficult to tell about that. The
cancer0us lump was not an open sore. The
darting pains that have their seat in the
cancerous lump on the tongue still con-
tinued, but were not so frequent nor so
severe as they had been. In response to
further questions, the doctor could not say
that the infrequency and lessened severity
of these pains indicated an improved con-
dition of the cancer. There was in every
way an improved condition aside from the
cancer, relative to which the doctor de-
clined to speak further than as stated.
General Grant omitted his drive yesterday i'll
