Removal of GRANTS Tomb.

NEW YORK, Nov ia special 10 the
T1iJalne SAYS: The effort to remove the
body of General Grant from Riverside to the
Arlington National Cemetery viii be renew
cd al the coming session Of Congress. Ever
since the failure Of the attempt in the last
Congress, the friends Of the removal have
been quietly but actively and zealously a.
work Some OF the objections then raised
have been overcome, and considerable con-
fdeBoe is expressed that the attempt this
winter viii be crowned with success. That
there is a strong sentiment in favor Of the
movement among veterans Of the Union
army as among the officers Of the regular
army, who served in the war Of the rebel
lion, is manifest. The sentiment is bounded
by no sectional lines, but it is especially
strong among the survivors Of the Western
armies which Grant led to victory, and 1t
whose head lie laid the groundwork Of his
fame, and won glorious victories.
But the advocates Of the removal Of Gen
eral Grants tomb TO Arlington are not dis
posed to halt there. They maintain that ell
the great military chieftains and leaders Of
the Union armies-Sherman, Thomas. Nc
Clellsn, Meade, Mcpherson, Logan and the
rest-should, Ike Sheridan, be laid beneath
the towering oaks and green sod Of Airing
Ton, within view ofthe Capitol Of the Nation
which they fought 10 save and perpeiuale.n

nespSiis SAYS. Hundreds. Of men have re-
turoed fron North Dakota where they hsse
been assisting ST thresbing. They say that
At least one-third Of the wheat is still m
threshed, but that they could not remain
there with tie temperature lowering about
the zero point Frederick Ames. the owner
OF the threshiBg outfit, said be had been
threshing in Grand Forks and Walsh ooun-
lies. He says for the entire distance be
tween PARK River and Grafton, eighteen
miles. there is almost one half Of the grain
stin in shock and in such condition as TO
make threshing impossible. The men are
leaving in large numbers from the north
and making for the cities.
Oscar Miller, Of Grafton, is here trying to
get men 10 go to North Dakota, offering as
much as s. a day and board He says there
are plenty Of threshing machines in the
country, bat that it is impossible TO get men
70 work them. Most Of the farmers Of North
Dakota are unable to furnish sleeping quar-
teTs for the hands, and sleeping in barns and
strswstacks with the thermometer al zero Is
impossible even at 81 dly. The returned
harves.ers say that on Tuesday rain set in
from the southwest which wet the shocks
through. In the evening the wind changed
20 the north and the rain became sleet and
snow. AL the wet shocks froze stiff, and il
Is impossible TO get them through the ma
chimes. Some efforts have been made 10
carry on The work, but the grain threshed
out OF TIE frozen shocks thawed AFTER being
put into the bins and became useless on &C
count Of heating.

people in many cases short Of coal and with
their stock almost wholly unprotected.
From the Sioux reservation and points on
the Missouri river come stories OF the less

Hall, OF sully county, lost 5000 head Of
sheep.
reports from North Dakota say the tenn
perature is very frigid as far west as Minot.
The ground is so thoroughly frozen that no
further attempts will be made az fal! plow-
ing. The reports IS 10 the condition Of the
wheat crop are conflicting, those sent out by
the railroads saying nearly al the wheat on
shock has been threshed, and that wheat in
stack can be threshed at any time. The cor
respondents, however, give far less glowing
view of the situation, saying that hundreds
/ Of acres are in shock and can be used for
nothing except feed in the straw.

AWoSG the articles which pay duty IN
der the Mckinley tariff law is salt, which
is listed at the rate of one-eighth Of a
cent per pound. Our Democratic free
trade friends are terribly worried over
this "tax on one Of the poor mans neces-
sites" and are yoeiferously demanding
its repeal. Suppose this duty was re-
moved and salt placed on the free list,
hew many people would actually know
it2-particularly in view Of the fact that
900 parts in a thousand Of the salt used
in this country is home made and pays
no duty. And vel it is this kind Of stuff
that IS urged upon the ignorant portion
Of the public as q reas Why the tariff
should be repealed.
