WHY NONE IN WASHINGTON:

WHY NONE IN WASHINGTOS?
Some weeks a. 20 The Times pointed out
the singular fact that while large num-
Der OF the lesser military lights of the
late war had been honored with monu-
ments in this city, the great chieftan to
whose urpassing genius was due the final
overthrow OF the rebellion, has had neither
shaft nor statue to his memory. True,
his name and his deeds are his best monu-
ments, but yet it would seem TO har-
moniZe with the eternal fitness of things
if at the capital OF the country to which
he brought peace a monument were
reared, that in size aud design would
worthiIy symbolic his great services TO
the nation.
The erection of the equestrian statue in
Brooklyn, the other day. should awaken
new efforts in this behalf. This is not
a matter OF any army corps, or for the
survivors of any branch Of the great army
OF the Union, but for all. for the name
and fame of General Grant are the hefita gc
OF every man that fought in the Uniori
ranks. From no organization would the
| movement to have a suitable memorial TO
| him here in Washington proceed with more
appropriateness than from the Grand Army
Of the Republic. 1t is the best represent
ative of that great host of which Ulysses
s. Grant was the chief commander. No
petty iealousies can stand in the way OF
any endeavor to rear to his memory a
monument that shall surpaSs in grandeur
ali others; one that shall be worthy both
of him and of the capital of the nation.
OF course, Congress should be made to
appropriate a sum OF money-uot less than
half million dollars-for this purpose,
but the people, and especially the old vet
Grams, should donate as much more. With
a million dollars memorial could be pro-
| vided that would worthily represent the
life work of Ulysses 8. Grant, the soldier
| and President, and rank fittingy with
similar great works of art that adorn the
capitals Of Europe.

@z HE presence of ex-senator Hunton on
the House side of the Capitol caused
one of his friends TO Timber up and
tell u good story as TO how one Of Tie
former Sena tors constituents was
alienated from the faith and forsoOk the
fortunes Of the Democratic party.
When President Cleveland was for a
second time induCJed into office and every
thing looked lovely for those who had
borne the heat and burden Of the battle.
as we'll as camp followers and coffee
coolers, one OF Senator Hunton's agricul-
tural constituents, from a bac kwoods
county in Virginia, became afflicted with
the offce-hoidmg bee.
He forthwith came 10 Washington and
! interested Mr.. Hunton in his behalf. He
started i'll to obtain a bureau ChtefsEip
i'll the Treasury Department, but eyentu-
ally, by easy grada tions, reached that
point where he was willing TO accept any
thing having salary attached TO it. He
finally got Job in the District govern
ment.
at that time roadway was being con-
structed through the Congressional Gene
terry and a night watChman was needed
to keep guard over the tools ana be-
iongings OF the workmen employed. A
Matchbox was erected Oh the top Of a
high bluff overlooking the work in prog
ress. Here the applicant for division
i'll the Treasury took up his lonely vigil
He served one night in peace and quiet
but on the succeeding night the trouble
began. Along about 2 O'Clock in the
morning a sudden wind storm came up
and toppled the watch box over the bluff,
carrying with it Senator Hunton's con-
sttuent
AS the unfortunate victim of politics
and circumstances reached the bottom of
the bluff and was trying to eXtricate him
self from the wreck OF the watch box, the
watChman in charge of the cemetery
appe red on the scene. There had recently
been q number of graves robbed, and he
jumped OF he conclusion that the ma before
him was engaged in that avOcation. So he
up and emptied load of shot into the ill.,
starred Virginian.
The next morning large crowd of curious
people collected in one of the Senate corri-
doris where Mr.. Hunton was being inter-
vie wed by the man for whom he had secured
the position. The man was mad throughout,
and with terrible emphasis related to the
Senator the nature of his sassignment ana I he
almost tragic outcome of his brief service.
He recited the number of shot that had been
picked out by a surgeon, and then clench-
ing his fist he shook il eXcitedly in Mr..
Hunton's face and said: "And now | m
done with the Democratic party. I will
never vote another one of their tickets.
I am going back to my farm in Virginia
and the Democratic party can go plumb TO

IL did not contain Il free silver rider
there was Il good deal OF discus
sion In The Eastern press regarding the So
cailed traitors to their party. 1t was
asserted that the States from which the
flVe Senators hailed, silyer-lined though
they are, would not cCndone the offense
OF party men voting against what was
termed a purely party measure.
Inc fact is, the Senators named all
maintained to start with that the Dingley
bill was not good Republican measure
ana besides they proposed TO rot in their
seats as one OF them put it, Before they
would vote for any kind of an old tariff
bill until they could secure free coinage.
Now the West is being heard from. Res
oiu'ions are teing adopted hy Republicans
in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Idaho, and
they ali stand by the TecalCitrant Senators.

BISMARCK ON SILVER.

Bismarck has written letter in which
he says that he would like to see us try
the experiment of Free Coinage all by
ourselves. without waiting for other
Nations. Certainly he would. So would
we like to see Germany try it for her
self. Nothing would give us more
pleasure, unless it would be to see Eng
land try it. There is an old fable about
the rats deciding that the cat ought to
be belled. The only difficulty was about
which rat should undertake the task of
putting the bell on the cat. Every rat
was very anxious to see some other rat
try it, and would applaud his courage.
1t will be remembered that Bismarck
was the first to order the demonstration
Of silver. When we tried to get up Inter
national Monetary Congresses to remon-
etize the metal Bismarck ordered the
German delegates who attended to take
purely academic part " in the pro-
ceedings. That is, they might talk all
they pleased on the theory Of bimetallism,
but they we're to do absolutely moth
ing which would commit Germany to
any assistance in remonetizing silver.
More than any other one thing, that act
of Bismarck's led to the utter failure OF
the Congresses. Bismarck recognizes
this country as one Of the greatest oil
Germany's rivals, and he is as willing
to see us cripple ourselves by foolisl,
financial policy as he would be to see
France. Russia, or England commit
some blunder which would give Ger.
many great advantage. We can run
this country, however, without taking
advice from any of its anxious competi
korS

AFTER Free Coinage is gotten
through and it is discovered that wheat
at dollar a bushel in silver Will buy
no more coffee, sugar, boots and shoes,
cloth and furniture than wheat at
80 cents bushels in gold, what will
be the financial shysters' next scheme
Probably to insist that we have put the
chains Of financial slavery around our
necks by adopting the English bushel.
That 60 pounds to the bushel is the
badge of servility to foreign blood
suckers, and that we are big enough aud
strong enough to have a bushel of our
own Of only 80 pounds. This will
be just as rational as the present agita-
ton.
The National tribune., 1896-10-01

THERE viii be no trouble about Presi-
dent Mckinley being able to carry out
any policy that may he decided upon.
There is not the least doubt that the
House of Representatives will have a
large Republican majority. It may not
be as large as the present majority, and
then again it may be larger. Anyway
it will be big enough to transact business
promptly and efficiently, as Speaker
Reed demonstrated when he had but
II majority. As for the Senate, the
results of the election will show to the
five Free Silver Republicans who proved
so troublesome last Winter the wisdom
of getting back into the traces with all
speed, and pulling hard and strong
when there, to make up for the past.
The National tribune., 1896-10-01

Is any man such fool as to think
that we can trick England into paying
more for cur wheat by buying and sell
ing it among ourselves for high prices
in cheap dollars? Instead Of cutting
the dollar in two with which we value
wheat, why not cut the bushel in two by
which we measure it? One way is
"just as smart" as the other. Make
the dollar only SO cents, and wheat will
be dollar bushel. Make the bushel
only two pecks, and wheat will be dol
lar bushel-that is, if anybody can be
found fool enough to pay as much for
two pecks as he formerly paid for four.

Is 1T NOT TRUE

That the price of wheat and other pro-
duce is settled by what it will bring in
the Gold Standard countries of Europe
That this must always be SO of every
thing that we raise surplus Of, and have
to sell that surplus, abroad?
That this being the base, is it not ex-
IRENE folly to pretend that we can really
raise prices by slight-of-hand tricks with
our currency?

In 1892 these same men said that ii
we had free wool the price of wool
would advance, and the number of
sheep greatly increase. They secured
free wool. The price of Ohio wool was
then from 80 to 80 cents a pound. 1t
is now from IA to 1G cents. Ohio sheep
then averaged s. head. Now they do
not average more than S1.50 head.
In 1892 we had 47,275,773 sheep in the

determined Tint The preference given
veterans by the Constitution and laws OF
the State shall not become dead letter.
They have frequently asserted them
selves, and secured veterans rights by
fhe institution of legal proceedings before
which the would-be violators of the law
have quailed. The consequence is that
the New York comrades enjoy real
rights in the way Of public employment.
The matter has recently come up in the
matter of promoting Captains Of the
New York City police to Inspectors.
The Police Board has adopted rules for
competitive examinations which have
received the sanction of the State Civil
Service Commission. To make promo
tions the law requires the unanimous
vote of the four Police Commissioners,
or the recommendation of the Chief Of
Police, backed by a majority vote Of the
Commissioners. Two Captains are to
be promoted to Inspectors, and Commits
sioners Roosevelt, Andrews and Grant
have decided that 'Capts. Brooks and
McCullagh stand highest on the list, as
determined by the examinations. The
Chief of Police has declined to recon-
mend these Captains, and Commissioner
Parker will not vote with the other three
to make the appointment unanimous.
The GAR of the city protest against
the promotion of the two named, who
had no military service, over Captains
standing but little lower in the exami-
nation, but who have honorable dis
charges from the army or navy, after
service in the war. Counsel have been
engaged ON both sides, and the GAL
officials threaten the arrest of President
Roosevelt if lie disregards the law.
