THE GRANT 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
sense the ceremonies will be simple, but the
spectacle cannot fail to be imposing. An army
Of veteran soldiers and great cOncOmSe 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 a serious task is to
be deferred no longer. 1t is net creditable to
New-York that the acceptance of this sacred
trust did not inspire a stronger and more gem
eral zeal for its fufment. 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 sothfulnesS 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 50 largo 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
oesSive 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 we'll
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. 1t certainly is a 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 unselfsh
and his fidelity was absolute. Over the dust OF
such man it is fitting that monument should
rise to symbolic his deeds and his character, 10
express the peoples veneratiOn and TO llindle
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
| and to-day'S ceremony ought to inspire an eager

Mr. Fassett's committee will find plenty to
investigate if they go to Brooklyn, as it is under
stood they will soon after the adjournment Of the
Legislature. One of the first subjects TO demand
their attention viii be the waterworkS purchase
The facts regarding this scandaous affair have not
yet bcen fully told in court, and will not be If the
Court Of Appeals aiirms 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 n body as
this committee. 1t is said than Mr.. Gaynor, who
singlehanded and alone successfully conducted the
litigation for the people in the water case, isliey
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.

Exported.

Though the price this year has heen very low OF
late the value of the cotton exported IN eight
months has already been greater than IN any
previous full year, excepting 1886. m
April thus far 26O,O47 bales have come into sight,
against I'LL last year, but 34J,j2l have been
exported against 1902 last year. The exports
of provisions have also been large. though in pork
and lard but slightly larger than last year. for OF
bacon and hams AZ ,O00,0 pounds have gone
abroad against 10000 last year. Petroleum
exports have been fully up to last years, and eX-
ports Of wheat from both coasts a little larger,
though the enormous decrease in corn makes q
heavy decline in breadstufs. In three weeks OF
April the merchandise exports from New-Iork are
in value 1916 per cent greater than last year,
while in imports for four weeks the apparent gain
was per cent, but the excess Of imports over eX-
ports in April last year was over S0,OO0OOO.
The wheat speculation net a reaction On Wcdncs-
day, revived on Friday, but closed weak, with
July 3-4 cents lower than on Tuesday and
May 5 SO cents lower. though wheat in elevator
was still quoted higher than week ago. The
actual receipts at Western ports Of wheat ana
of all other grain for three weeks Of April have
been in recent years:

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, enlivening, stimulating
reading. Mr.. Depew looks on the bright side
of circumstances; he appreciates the fun of
things in general with marvellous quickness :;
and no doubt he is entirely right in attributing
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 HarriSons admir-
able speeches upon the large number OF men
whom Mr.. Depew met on his recent journey.

Several of the Republican ward associations in
Brooklyn at their meetings on Tuesday night cor
daily Endorsed Secretary Tracy's Navy Yard re-
form policy. The resolutions Of the First Ward
Association declared The Secretary is entitled
to and viii receive the thanks of the entire com
munty in the important action he has taken in
separating politics from labor; and added We
earnestly hope and do believe that the efforts Of
the Secretary will result in complete success and
his name become identified with reform that is
not only right, but eycrlastingy right That is
strong and to the point. The action of the Sixth
Ward Association was especially significant A
resolution was offered condemning Secretary
Tracy's action, but it cast out by vote OF
81 to 35. showing dccisyely the strength of the
sentiment in favor Of reform.

The Delaware Legislators have at last taken a
course which other States similarly situated may
adopt in the future. A bill has been passed pro-
hibitng the courts from granting divorces to resi-
dents where the acts alleged as causes for the
divorce occurred in another State which does not
reco,nize such grounds for the proceeding. Ihls
will prevent persons from other States from taxing
~ their residence in Delaware for the purpose OF
procuring divorces and so will take away one
ground Of occasional criticism Of the lax divorce
laws Of some Of the States.

Cricket has never been a popular game among
collecians in this country. Considerable interest
is felt therefore in the game which is to be played
early in June between Yale and Harvard cricl,.
cters 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 result seems, however, improbable
to those college players who have previously tried
the game.

to the fact that the visible supply Of wheat ~
almost as large as it was a year ago. and the
quantity available for exports double the actual
exports after this date last year. Corn in elevator
is a cent higher than week ago, though May is
3 cents lower. and May oats . 1-2 cents lower.
Pork is the same, but lard and hogs a quarter
lower. Cotton has declined a sixteenth, and while
raw sugar is unchanged, granuaied is half cent
ard crushed q quarter lower, German supplies
being felt. Even now the margin between centrf-
ugal and graduated is one full cent, which is much
above the cost of refining.
The increase in railroad earnings, which has
been on eighty-siX and lightweight roads for the
first and second weeks OF April and thirteen for
tie third week almost per cent, is plainly due
to higher rates rather than to increased traffic ard
hence the prospect Of extended wars, through re-
duction of rates by the Canadian lines and the
West Shore, is regarded with the more apprchca-
sion While all the railroad mOgnates are talking
for peace, most Of them are acting as il they
determined 70 have peace if they had to fight for
il, and were about to begin fighting Nor do the
clcarings outside Ncw-York mean q larger traffic,
for in April thus far they fall little below last
years, in spite of prices averaging about Is per
cent higher for the month. One cause Of hcsita-
ton at present is the threat of very extensive and
prolonged struggles between employers and en-
ployed in the building trades and the bituminous
coal mines. But the next two weeks will deter
mine whether business is thereby to be much inter
rupted In other respects the industrial situation
looks better. The iron market is frmer. with
better demand for manufactured iron and steel.
The crop prospects continue most favorable, and
that tends TO strengthen the hope that depression
in any branch Of manufacture Will be but tempo

The New-Orleans Grand jury has certainly
taken time enough to make an exhaustive in
vestigatiOn of the lynching affair. Its report
ought to be of searching nature, for six weeks
or thereabout is long enough for a full inquiry

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

is Texas against Georgia, and each contestant
and the friends OF each are in it for all they
are worth. 1t is not a 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

LONDON, July 9.-What is sorrow
fully feared to be the deathbed of
Charles Haddon Spurgeon is unhappily
the occasion of an incident of profession
al jealousy exactly similar to that which
was witnessed at Lord Beuconsfeld's
deathbed.
Dr. George Hugh Kidd, the famous
Irish surgeon, practitioner and writer,
who attended Lord Beaconsfeld, is also
in attendance on Mr. Spurgeon. He is a
man of very broad views, and is an adj
vocate OF homeopathy as well AS of the
orthodox system of treatment. Conse-
quently Sir Andrew Clark, Mr. Glad
stones physician, who was summoned
in consultation, has declined to attend,
Just as Sir William Jenner declined to
give his services to Lord Beaconsheld for
the same reason.
Nh Spurgeon has often rallied from
severe attacks, but never before has
his vitality sunk 80 low as 1t is now,
In his delirium he fancies that he Is in
the south of France, and calls upon
those about him to take him home.
This morning there was no signs of
improvement, and Mr.. Spurgeon is suf-
fering extreme prostratiou.

Brutal Murder.
TAHLEQUHA, l. T., July 0.-Unrest, a

terday on the council grounds of the
Seminole reservation at Wqheka. A
month ago Unrest quarreled with an
other Indian, and chopped him to pieces
with a hoe.
He was tried and convicted by the
council, and at noon he was led to a low,
fiat rock and a band4ge tied over his
eyes. He was not otherwise bound and
was as unconcerned as the traditional
brave in warpaint. Two Indians, chosen
by lot, each sent q bullet into his heart.
There was painful upraising OF the
shoulders, and Unrest was still.
His executioners ran quickly to him
and laid him upon the ground. He died
in two minutes. The body was buried
on the edge of the council ground.
