Who Was Right

Spokane Review: Calhoun has mon
ument. General Lee has monument.
Hendricks has monument, and Jefferson
Davis will soon have one. General u. =.
Grant who led the loyal armies to vic
tory, stamped out secession and preserved
the republic of the United States. u man
who was brave in war and magnanimous
in victory. and whose sutferings and death
gave to the American youth its loftlest
type of American bravery. has rested in
death for many months. but no monu-
ment marks his tomb. Men who know
the history of the rebellion also know that
no stately shaft Is needed to add cheap
glory to his name. But there is a rising
generation in our midst. whose knowledge
of the rebellion and its causes Is most
meager and imperfect. Their estimate OF
greatness and patriotism is largely in
flueneed by contemporaneous tributes
like those that have placed majestic mon
uments above the dust of rebels and
northern sympathizers with the southern
cause They read of the erection of these
monuments. and they naturally suppose
that they are a voluntary to the worth
and patriotism of the men whose memory
is thereby exalted and perpetuated. We
need not wonder then to hear oi
thousands of American youth arriving al
the age of citizenship and drifting into thu
democratic party. Nor should we he sur

] foreigners expressing doubt about th,

1 people can not forget the part that til,
city of New York played throughout tn,
war. They know that the city was honey
combed with merccnary Opposers OF the
war. who were willing to make any sacri

might be relieved from interruption. Il
was in New York that the draft riot
originated. II was i'm New York tina

large part of which came as gift from
the patriotic north.
Al this is remembered by the people
who are right In insisting that New lori
shall fulfill her pledge and erect monu
ment. or permit the ashes of Grant to re-
pose in some city more typical of TN
achievements of the honored dead.

Obligations of Citizenship

Post Intelligencer: Governor Ferry j.
entitled to credit for having made a num-
Der Of iudiciOus selections of prominent.
well-known aud capable citizens to serve
on the Tide Lands and Harbor Lines COM
missions. but the gentlemen thus selected
have declined to serve. The presumption
is that these destinations are due to the
fact that the nominees do not consider I he
compensation and the honor of the posi-
tions fully prOportionate to the response
bilities they would incur and the labor
they would be- called upon to perform.
But this belongs TO a class Of cases IN
which the public have a right TO expect
from honored aud public spirited citizens
some sacrifice Of personal comfort. con-
veniences and inclination in behalf of the
general welfare. II would be sad com
mentary on our system of government,
and on the general estimate TO be placed
on our sense Of the fair bligations Of ciii-
zenship. IL it is TO be understood that i'm
pOrtant service to the public, demanding
high character for integrity and capacity.

weighing OF mercenary cOnsideratio
Ii has long been recognized as one Of the
crying evils Of our times that prominent
citizens to large extent habitually evadt
service on grand and petit juries, while
many also neglect their political duties al
party primaries. conventions. and in at.
tendance at the polls. And it has been nc
less observable that these very citizens. 81
neglectful Of their duties as such. are the
/ readest and the most vociferOus In con.
demning failures Of justice and the degra.
dations of politics. for which they
through such neglect. are in large part
responsible.

erecting school building and for com

ask for the ordering of direct tax for
that purpose. ia order that the city,

amount will be about five mills. or one

money thus raised will not only enhanc,
