PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Gen. /. A. Grant, who is mentioned rs a
possible successor of Senator Proctor as
Secretary of War, has a fine record as a
soldier and is man of brains and eXecu-
tive ability besides. His soldierly laurels
would seem brighter TO the public if il
were not for the fact, unfortunate for
him, that he bears the name of the ma
tion's greatest commander. Gen. Grant
is finely proportioned man of 20 years,
with great capacity for hard work.

COAST DEFENCE.

Over 1900 miles of exposed and de-
fenceless coast was the theme of an
address delivered at the annual dinner
of the Massachusetts, Boot and Shoe
Club, last evening, by Col. S. NJ. Mans
field. OF the corps Of u. S. Engineers.
It is a dismal picture that Col. Mansfield
drew, and it seems fearfully apparent
that any one of our big cities, from East
port TO Galveston, would be at the mercy
of foreign fleet should trouble break
out to-day. Before the war the United
States, with only one-half its present
population, manufacturing industries,
wealth and knowledge of engineering,
was in better position to repel an in
vading force than it is to-day.
Conditions have since changed. and
the old works have outlived their use
fulness," said Col Mansfield last night
''Smooth-bore guns must now give way
to the superior rifle. We have nothing
TO fear from an invasion of an army
mon our shores. With our immense
railroad systems and our national citizen
soldiery we could mass formidable
force at threatened point with speed
that would cause any nation to hesitate
before attempting TO invade us. All
we have to fear is from the lombard
ment of modern ship of war which
could, at the present time, anchor far
down the harbor and destroy Boston at
its will"
In 1877 Samuel J. Tilden who, despite
some fault, must be recognized as hav-
ing been far-seeing old bachelor, wrote
letter intended to influence Congress
sional action upon the defenseless condi-
ton of our big cities. The House of
Representatives was then in the hands of
the Democrats who were blinded by the
word reform which had been rung for
their advantage in the preceding cam
paign. An i'll advised sort of economy
caused them to place Mr.. Tildeu's letter
con file" and allow il 90 become illegible
through the dust that covered it. It was
the last public utterance OF the greatest
Democratic statesman OF his time and it
was forgotten before he died, a short
timc afterwards.
For years the Democrats had almost
continuous control of the House of Rep
rescntatives and with it, of course, the
power to recommend what appropria-
tions should be made for the support or
advancement of the government. Mil
lions were spent FOR the alleged improve
mcnts of rivers aud harbors, bat for
coast defense the appropriations were so

tional arsenals crumble through disuse.
a wiser policy has prevailed within
the last three years or since President
Harrison took Office with Republican
members Of Congress behind him. The
appropriations made have been more
commensurate with the needs of the

He Was Shown a Silver Certificate by
Hedenberg.
There was little sensation to-day be-
fore the Silver Pool Committee. Repre-
sentative Abner Taylor testified that he
had been approached by Hedenberg of
silver. Hedenberg showed him a silver
certificate for 10000 ounces and talked
about bill on the subject which he had
before the Banking and Currency Com
mittee. Hedenberg had not asked him to
buy silver.
He himself, had, however, bought sill
yer on margin, putting up $1,000. He
bought 10000 ounces.
The purchase was made three days after
the Silver bill became law. He made
between $500 and 5000.
He had no information as to q silver
pool in or out of Congress.

of Lincoln Music Hall to secure seats for
the Stoddard lectures. Yesterday others
fell in, and this morning at o o'clock the
line extended up ID street to Eighth street
and all the way up Eighth to u street.
Fires were built along the line to keep
people warm and many dimes and quar-
ters were made by enterprising boys who
furnished chairs and boxes TO the weary
and brought lunches and papers. In the
line were many ladies, but they did not
take their places until early this morning.
