The Grant Monument Scandal.

1t will not be ut all surprising If some
foul scandal shall be revealed in con.
nection with the Grant monument fund
in New York. The whole attempt to
build monument TO Gen. Grant in New
York has been more or less Of scandal
because IL has been characterized by a
meanness and niggardliness on the part
of the New York people, which has dis
gusted the inhabitants Of every other
part of the United States. The New
Workers could easily raise all the
money necessary 70 build magnificent
monument to Gen. Grant, but they are
far from having secured the requisite
sum, and II looks as though the bad
management of the trustees Of the
monument fund will cause the whole
enterprise to collapse and end in fail.
