In the senate Saturday Senator
Plumb offered a concurrent resolution.
which was laid over until to-day, that
congress desires the removal of the re-
mains of Grant to the Arlington Ma
tional cemetery; and that the president
be requested to convey to the widow
such a desire, rendering to her, on be-
half of the nation. all necessary facili-
ties for such removal and interment.
The proposed removal is wise and emf
nently proper, not so much because the
city of New York has acted in a man
ner to forfeit all claims to the honor,
although that reason alone would he
amply sufficient, as because Grant be-
ing a national hero il is for the nation
rather than for any individual city to
hold and cherish his remains. The
idea of q Westminster Abbey may not
be feasible I'm this country, but taking
into consideration all the circumstances
no good argument can be advanced
against Senator Plumb's resolution.
