NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Chief of Police
-McKane, of Coney Island, telephoned
to the Astor house people this morning
that he had at headquarters a we'll
dressed, gray-haired gentleman about
ifty-five years Of age, who said he was
an Astor house guest and who had been
found astray there, unable to take care
of himself and of large amount of
money and some valuable jewelry found
on his person. The Astor house people
concluded that it was Col. John A.
Willard, of Mankato, Minn., who has
been staying there for the past two
months. The old gentleman was seen
sitting on bench on Surf avenue, West
afternoon, and acting so strangely
around him. He appeared to
be sober, but now and then burst forth
into torrent of incOnerent words, of
which the assembled multitude could
only catch "Lost." The crowd got so
large that it attracted the attention of an
officer. He walked up to the old man,
and the latter seemed glad to see him.
He went along quietly enough, and was
soon in the police station. From papers
found on HIM it seemed that he was
Col. John A. Willard. He said that he
was fifty-seven years old. Chief Nc
Kane questioned him closely, and soon
found out that the man was not in his
right mind.

"Astor house. replied Willard.

I Col. Willard had considerable money
In his pockets and he wore several fine
diamonds. 1t is not thOug hJ that Foley
ran away, as Col. Willard stated, for he
came to Coney Island police headquar-
tiers yesterday afternoon and reported
that Mr.. Willard had been separated
from him. At the AStOr house little is
known of Col. Willard, except that he is
presumed to be wealthy and of fine
family. He came to this city on June
20, and has been stopping at the Astor
house ever since. He is under medical
treatment.

FROM RIVERSIDE TO ARLINGTON
"Gen. Grant was born In Ohio. He went
into the war from Illinois. He resided dur
ing his later years in New York. Such is the
peculiar character of his public life and serv-
ices, however. that no particular locality can
claim him as its own. As state lines, with
sectional significance, were swept away by
his victorious armies, so in our retrospect of
his career we recall him only as the patriotic
soldier, to whom all states were alike, SO that
the Union might be saved. Where he was
born. where he lived, where he died are mat
tiers of little moment concerning one who gave
the best wears of his life to his country. and
left in the hearts of the American people an
imperishable and grateful memory. Where
his last resting place shall be is another and
greater question. To the vast majority of
those who revere the name and fame of
Grant, it has always beemed strange impro-
priety, and the sentiment has assumed the
form of a profound and universal regret, that
the national capitalize seat of the govern
ment he SO nobly served, and which alone
can lay valid claim to the honor-should not
have been chosen as the sheltering place of
his mortal remains. To many, and the num-
ber is considerably increasing, this is more

MERE SENTIMENT OF REGRET

naught but bywords Of reproach, and the sol
emnly promised monument is but an imag-
ination of the remote and shadowy future
Hence regret has become indignation, and
what was at first tacit assent, on certain
conditions that remain wholly unfulflled, is
converted into q vigorous and growing de-
mand for the removal of the remains from

dishonored, ana where they should

OFFICIAL DIGNITY.

1t does seem that, as nation. we are
laying little too much stress on official
dignity. To have respect for the powers
that be is not only a religious duty but
one that is inseparable from good eiti-
zenship. Yet because we respect the
symbol of law is no reason why we
should invest those holding a public
station with the divinity that doth
hedge king. In a government where
public Office is supposed to be public
trust. and where the masses are sover-
eign, there is no Justification for the
theory which is rapidly growing in
popularity in this country, that the per-
son of an OfficehOlder is so sacred he
must enjoy the immunities which at
tach to royalty in the old countries. A
recent illustration of the ad vance VIC
have made in this unrepublican direction
was found in the fate of the army Off
Ger who took the liberty of pulling the
nose Of the governor of Pennsylvania,
i'll satisfaction of some real or imagi-
nary insult. To pull another mans nose
is an undignified sort of a proceeding
for an American citizen, it is true, and
yet the law simply recognizes it as a
misdem eanor, punishable in the same
way that any ordinary assault is pun
iShed. But because, in this instance, it
happened TO be the nose of a state Off
cial that was pulled, the unfortunate
army officer who did the pulling is to be
singled out for excessive punishment.
The decision rendered by Judge SAW
YER in the NAGLE case is in the same
line of asserting the extraordinary i'm
munities that are to be enjoyed by those
official station. 1t does seem
that we are getting long distance from
the ancient landmarks OF the republic
when we can so successfully adopt and
practice the underlying principles of
government without calling
forth a protest from the people.

MORE INTERESTING.

There is not only growing discrepancy
between the wool manufacturers of New
. England and the producers of the raw
material further west, but there is an
expanding gap between the iron manu-
facturerS of the Northeastern states and
the pig iron people of Pennsylvania. A
Philadelphia paper says the latter are
thrown into CONSERVATION over the
earnest demand coming from the New
England manufacturers for free ores,
coal and coke and great reduction on
pig iron and steel. The representatives
of the Pennsylvania Iron and Steel as
ISOLATION rise up in the most pugnaciOus
mood, resolved, like TANNER, to stand
for the promises of the Chicago plat
form. The lurid threat of the wool
growers is repeated: "Reduce the du-
ties on pig iron and down will come the
duties on everything made from it. If
we are ever to have free trade in this
country we will have plenty of 1t, and
New England will get its full share"
The situation grows more interesting as
the beneficiaries of protection quarrel
over their divides.

ONT OF DATE.

The convention that met at Cinein-
natl the other day, to resuscitate and in
tToduce to the national arena the Green
back party, was not calculated tn excite
uneaSineSS in the minds of old party
managers. 1t was small in numbers,
and with little to indicate that the cloud
like the mans hand would ever over
shadow the sky. For almost the first
time in fifteen years or so there is no
member of the Greenback party in con-
gress, and it seemed TO have died out
with the substantial disposal of the
questions that induced its formation.
There is nothing to indicate its future
existence as considerable factor in
politics, although the late convention
adhered to the captivating idea that the
government could make everybody
rich. They want irredeemable green
backs put out to the amount Of $50 per
head, or some $4,000, 100000 in all.
Large figures cost no more than small
ones, and as well give every man a
million and make all mlllionaires. The
bills would have the same value, what
ever their face.

SHOULD BE PROTECTED,

After allowing for some afiuenee of
imagination, there was evidence to war
rant Indignation at the Northwestern
colored conference at Milwaukee, the
past week, over the outrageous treat
ment of the four delegates who we're
assailed by ruffians on a train in the
South while on their way North. They
paid for seats in firSt-class car, and
were entitled to their enjoyment. A
gang of hoodlums came into the car at a
station and maltreated them SO that
they were obliged to secure medical aid.
They no doubt refused to 90 into a Sec
ond-class car when they had paid for
first-class accommodations. This was
their privilege. and they were entitled
to protection in it. The railroad CON-
pany should have protected them in
that right, and in equity should COM
pensate them for damages. Courts hold
that common carriers are bound to pro-
tect their eonsignments from injury,
whether property or human beings, and
these colored men will evidently have a
good claim for damages.

mining controverted questions. 1t gives
the number and value of the cattle
of the country for the past two
years. The surprising statement ap-
pears that the number of cattle devote d
to the beef supply has increased from
1900 900 to nearly 100000 in the
last twenty years. This helps out the
theory of excess in production. Not
only have they increased in number in
much greater ratio than the popula-
ton. but in quality and weight. Better
animals are sent to market. The
prices to the growers have fallen one
half, but there has been no reduction to
consumers. The cattle producers are
not making money, and the people who
eat meat are not benefited. Between
these parties there have been golden
currents, and wealth has piled up in
that vicinity. The people who count
their millions are not cattle growers.
