THE New York Star gives it up. The peo-
pie of New York city viii not erect monu-
ment to Grants memory, and the people of the
country will not contribute to the present
fund because they feel that the ashes of the
nation's greatest chieftain should rest in ma
tional soil. Referring to the failure to raise
even a respectable sum of money for the pur-
pose Of the Grant monument at Riverside
Park, the Star says:
"Only one inference is possible, and that IS
that the country does not consent to and will
not sanction the disposition which has been
made of General Grants remains. The coun-
try is right. It is always right in any ques-
ton of good feeling and patriotism. General
Grants fame belongs to no part of the United
States. His sword was drawn for the Repub-
lie, for its honor, its integrity its glory. His
services command the Republics gratitude;
his achievements are the Republics blessing.
And deep in the Nations soul there dwells the
unalterable conviction that the hero should
sleep at Washington, in soil that is the COM
mon pride and property, amid the marbles and
the monuments that he saved.
"The verdict has been rendered in no un-
certain fashion. It can be read in the silent
| ignoring or the invitation to contribute to the
proposed tomb at Riverside Park. It is I'M
| mistakable in the refusal of Congress to do
what the country has refrained from. And it
is a verdict that admits of no appeal, for it is
righteous.
1--WE have to consider. then, whether the
decision to fix Grants resting place here is as
irrevocable as the popular resolve to withhold
all countenance to that arrangement. We
have to consider whether we shall, by persist
| ing in this untoward error, thwart the Nations
loving purpose, or, by yielding, help to rear
| upon those noble ashes the tribute Of the
whole peoples love and reverence"

THERE is reported severe factional fight
in the Democratic ranks in the little State of

SOME wicked persons in Tennessee are try
ing to bring out as Prohibition candidate the
father Of the two Taylors, who are, respective
ly, the Republican and Democratic candidates
for the governorship Of that State. 1t has
been thought that the campaign could proceed
to close without necessarily creating fami-
ly disturbance, and if the brothers were alone
to be considered, doubtless such might be the
case. The appearance of a "third- party man,
however, even though he be their own father,
puts different face on the matter. and if
there isn't row among the Taylors, all pro-
hibition precedents will go for nothing.

THE Liquor League and the saloon men,
who want to boss politics, should read what a
leading German paper, the New York Repub-
ikaner, has to say on the topic. There are
many, very many, Germans who think about
the 'too numerous saloon" just as the Repub-
hkaner does. They own property; they are
engaged in business; they are taxpayers; they
are interested in low taxes and prudent admin
istration of government. The saloon, as a
political boss, does not promise any Of those
things. and those Germans are not interested
