LIE GIANT MONUMENT

Ground will be broken to-day for the mOnu-
ment which is to commemorate the career
of General Grant and express the gratitude of
the people whom he restored to unity. In a
sense the ceremonies will be simple but the
spectacle cannot fail to be imposing An army
of veteran soldiers and a great concOurse Of
citizens will be present, but no dazzling display
of National pride and power will be attempted.
1t is a cause for satisfaction and relief that
the practical beginning of serious task is TO
be deferred no longer 1t is not creditable to
New York that the acceptance of this sacred
trust did not inspire a stronger and more gen.
eral zeal for its fulfiIment. Nearly six years
have elapsed since General Grant died. and
during most OF this time it has been hard to
discover any signs of interest or activity in the
prosecution of the work. Appearances have
been in some measure deceptive, as they always
are The committee in charge has not deserved
all the criticism applied to it. There has been
less slothfuness than the result might seem to
indicate But the delay has been unfortunate
and notifying. The original mistake, we
have always thought, was in asking too great
a sum of money. The figure named at the out
set was so large as to discourage rather than
| invite subscriptions We believe that if $780,
| 600 had been called for it would have been
raised promptly and easily, and the monument
would have been completed to-day instead OF
just at its beginning. 1t is true that an ex-
cessive demand is not the only cause of the lack
of enthusiasm which has produced the long de-
| lay From time to time unworthy attempts
| to Illustrate General Grants expressed wish that
| his grave might be in this city have been made,
and these have embarrassed and hndered the
collection of the fund. Then, too, the ridicue
of some other cities due in part to mere flip
pancy of feeling, but in part we must suppose
| to jealousy has not had the stimulating effect
here which it ought to have had, but on the
contrary, has seemed to be depressing as well
| as discourteous.
1t is to be hoped that these jests and sneerS
| have now worn themselves out and that the
country from this time forward will assist the
enterprise with its sympathy and in more prac-
| teal ways as well. IL certainly is work which
deserves the cordial interest and support of every
man who loves his country and is capable OF
gratitude for General Grants devotion and
achievements. His figure does not lose its heroic
proportions with the lapse OF time. He was
great with the arduOuS greatness of things
done" but that is not all his glory The spirit
OF his service was perfectly pure and unseiSh
and his fidelity was absolute. Over the dust Of
such man it is fitting that a monument should
rise TO symbolic his deeds and his character 10
express the peoples generation and to kindle
ardent patriotism and noble ambition The task
remaining TO be done is one to which no citizen
of the United States can afford to be Indifferent.

Mr.. Fassett's committee will find plenty TO
investigate if they go TO Brooklyn, as 1t is under
stood they will soon after the adjournment of the
Legislature. One of the first subjects to demand
their attention will be the waterworks purchase
TIE facts regarding this scandaous affair have not
vet been fully told in court, and will not be if the
Court of Appeals airms the decision Of the General
Term to the effect that the city officials had no
authority whatever to make the purchase which
Mr. Ziegers injunction stopped. In that case the
true inwardness Of the water scandal can only
be revealed by the investigation Of such a body as
this committee. 1t is said that Mr.. GaynOr, who
singehanded and alone successfully conducted the
litigation for the people in the wafer case is likely
to be selected counsel to assist the committee in
its explorations in Brooklyn That selection would
be eminently fitting, and would be guarantee to
the people that the right sort of investigation was
to be made

Mr.. Depew remarked on a recent notable pub
lie occasion that he "always was an Optimist."
The interview with him which appears on an
other page of this issue proves the truth of his
remark. 1t is breezy, envening stimulating
reading. Mr.. Depew looks on the bright side
of circumstances; he appreciates the fun Of
things in general with marvellous quiclIness ;
and no doubt he is entirely right in attrbuting
to this quality his good health and great power
of work. No part of this interview, we venture
to say, will be read with more general appre-
citation and interest than what is said about the
marked effect of President Harrson'S admir-
able speeches upon the large number of men
whom Mr. Depew met on his recent journey.

Cricket has never been popular game among
collegians in this country. Considerable interest
is felt therefore in the game which is TO be played
early in June between Yale and Harvard crlck
eters. If the result of this and few other similar
contests should be to increase the popularity Of
the game, cricket may in the future contest with
baseball and football for supremacy among college
sports. Such q result seems however, improbable

The NewOrleans Grand jury has certainly
taken time enough to make an exhaustive in
vestigation of the lynching affair. Its report
ought to be of q searching nature, for six weeks
or thereabout is long enough for a full inquiry
into all the facts. The iury's findings and pre-
sentiment New-0HeanS dispatch elsewhere
printed says, may now be expected at any time.
Probably there is no genuine expectation any
where that any body will be indicted for the
crimes committed by the mob on March IA.
The jury cannot, at all events, allege that the
perpetrators are unknown, and neglect to in
dict will afford an opportunity for some delicate
augmentation on the part of the writer OF the

The Democratic fight for the Speakership is
already waxing hot. Congress will not meet
for over seven months yet, and in the meantime
the contest between ex-" Premier Mills and Mr..
Crisp will attain height of temperature that
can hardly be realized so long in advance. 1t
is Texas against Georgia, and each contestant
and the friends OF each are in it for all they
are worth. 1t is not merry fight since too
much fiery Southern blood is aroused. In fact,
it is war to the knife which nobody can observe
with so much cOmposure as the Republicans,
who have neither part nor lot in it. That big
Democratic majority in the House brings much
vexation Of spirit in its train.

THE NEGROES NEED PRO
TECTION.

Mr.. Miller Is. c. said that the colOred
people of the south did not complain that
they were not given office. What they
suffered from vas the internal lynch law
Next they suffered from the little petty
system OF justices that robbed them of the
results of their toll from day TO day.
Third, they work for their taskmaSters
aud they were paid as their taskmasters
pleased, for the courts were so constructed
that the negroes had no rights. Talk
about calling the elections bill force bill!
Did not the gentleman from tie south
say that If was the white mans rights to
rule aud control elections; and if they
could not control them by majority vote
they would control them by force or
fraud? The negroes wanted an election
law that would compel the paople of the
south to regard the rights OF the negro
and white man alike and to count their
votes as cast, and which would result in
the wishes of the people being expressed
bv duly elected representatives. What
the negroes needed was not so much Off
ces a. II was protection at home in their
rights, chietest among which was tine
right to live. If they get an elections
bill South Carolina would have six or
seven republicans here.-Hoa. I. IL. Mil.

FREEMEN IN THE SOUTH.

Elsewhere in this issue of the
BE IS very interesting article
from the Af'O-Amerjcan Pres6yte-
ran, on the great work that is be-
ing done il the South, for the
freemen, by Rev. L w. Will
liams and his accomplished wife.
The report is worth reading and
if some of our patriotic citizens
would do what they ought to do
they certainly would send aid to
these struggling workers. 1t Is
very commendable on the part of
Rev. Williams aud his wife for
their sacrificing interest for the
welfare Of the freedmen IN the
South. DR.. Furguson has done a
great deal for this institution and
in this connection Prof. Jas. NJ
Gregory deserves the respect and
consideration of the Southern free
men for his many acts of kindness
in sending material aid to this In
stitution.

SCRAPS AND NOTES.

If the cosmopolitans as they are
found in this city, from all parts
of the union. do not attend the
grand Mass Meeting called for
the night of JAM, 26th at the r ST.,
Metropolitan Church, under the
auspices of the Harrison and Nor
ton League it will be in evidence
that the representative colored
people of this country as they are
to be seen IN the capitol city of
the country, are totally callous
and Indifferent as to the matter of
the elections bill. That the great
mass Of people want this bill to
pass both houses of Congress, and
then be signed by the President,
goes without the saying. But
what is the best method to express
to the statesmen and the country
how We stand on this matter? Why
it is simply to make the mass
meeting a great event; a success by
large turnout Of the people, es-
pecially those from the states who
are situated in this city under the
government, and by the power Of
the republican party. The meeting
should, and we feel no doubt but
what it will, be a reflex of the
highest race representative, pro-
gress Intellectually morally and fl
nancially. In short, it should be
an audience that will represent
what was, has beeen, what is and
what is to be.
Many leading gentlemen and
representative people will be there
let them gaze On a packed audi
ence Of our best people from all
walks of life; the preacher, doctor,
lawyer, professor, teacher, states
men, soldier, aud above all our
women, and thus show that the
advanced thought, the moral sense
of duty and obligation, and loyal
regard for our fellow citizens les
peclally in the south, ,)has been a.
wakened and in the time for ac-
ton we do not sleep on our arms
or at the post of duty.
