THREE WEEKS YET FOR TIE GRANTTrND
to have one" wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne after
one of his visits to Westminster Abbey or II.
paul's Cathedral Doubtless he did not intend
the remark to be taken literally. Still the
numerous memorials in these English temples
of men who, save for the marble tokens which
preserve their names, if not their virtues. would
be completely swallowed up in oblivion, are cal
culated to lead reflective mind TO conclusion
similar to that reached by the great romance
writer Truly, many OF those who need monu-
ments in order to perpetuatc their names and
fame do not deserve them. The man who de-
serves IA monument does not need one to make
his memory abide in the minds and hearts OF
those who come after him. General Grant.
for example needs 10 monument. His place
in the affections Of his countiymcn is secure
But the people who knew and loved and hon
ored him, his fellow-citzens, cannot afford
not to erect noble monument to his memory.
Such a monument was, in fact, decided upon
before the Generals body was removed from
Mount McGregor, and early in the history Of
the movement it was determined to rear a
splendid and stately memorial, at a cost Of
half million dollars.
When the cornerstone was laid ten days ago
it was announced that about $3.50 900 Of this
sum had been secured. General Porter then
expressed the hope that the entire amount
would be subscribed by Decoration Day. That
holiday is now only three weeks distant, and if
the last Sl50, 900 is obtained there will be need
of earnest work on the part of the large num-
Der of committees engaged in raising the
money. In some quarters by no means 50 much
as should have been done has been accom-
plished. 1t was not unreasonable to look to
Brook Ign for generous help in this matter, and
it was hoped that $780, 900 would be secured
in that city. Late reports, however, suggest
doubt as to whether One-ffth of $40, 900 will
be pledged there. The burden of the work
must fall on this city. General Porter has
carried on the plan of organization in a
thorough and admirable manner lie has in
terested every profession, every line of business
every trade and occupation. No man in the
city who wishes to make contribution, large
or small, can say that he has not had the OPP
portunity to do so.
But merely offering people opportunities to
subscribe is not sufficient There must be
earnest personal appeals made to them. Cen
eral Porter announced the other day that $780,
900 had been pledged since the new movement
was started in the latter part of March. This
was obtained with comparative ease. The pinch
will come in securing the remaining Sl5O. 900.
In the three weeks before Decoration Day ar
rves there is time. however, to bring this work
u completion. Earnest effort all along the line
will surely be crowned with success. Every
member of every committee should feel that
he has personal responsibility in the matter,

MAKING THE MOST or 4 VILLAGE.

Last year the Hon. Il. G.. Northrop con-
tributed to TIE TRIBUNE a notable paper on
Village Improvements. 1t was a clear and in
cisve discussion of the important practical
question why American villages differ in pros
perty it attracted much attention and has
been attended by gratifying results Public
spirited habitants Of villages in different parts
Of the country have been induced to adopt Mr..
Northrop's suggestions They have formed
themselves into associations having for their
object the improvement of their respective COM
munities. They aim by intelligent, united ef-
fort to render the villages in which they have
their homes As clean, healthy, attractive. re-
sourceful and progressive as possible. They
respect their limitations. but they make the
most of their advantages.
Mr.. Northrop's paper and the good work which
it has accomplished are emphasized by the
account which correspondent of "Thc Boston

Commissioner Martins orders to the poll

Commissioner Martins orders to the police
force bore evident fruit yesterday. Policemen
in civilian dress were not sent out to obtain
evidence of violations of the Excise law. Con-
sequently the saloonkeepers had their own way
as rule. and the Excise law was violated with
impunity in thousands of rumshops. Section
SO of the new law does not appear to have had
any particular influence on the action of the
police. That no general attempt was made to
suppress the liquor traffic is shown by the fact
that only SO arrests were made, as compared
with 40 two weeks ago and 20 last week
