Cleveland the Thir=
teenth President to
Have a Monument.

a THOUGH Grover Cleveland Is
"a the thirteenth president OF the
"a United States to be honored
- n with a public monument, he is
to have two OF size and beauty to COM
pensate for the possibly unlucky sig
nifcance of the number. His twelve
predecessors whose fame is commemo-
rated in marble. granite and bronze in
various parts of the UHAted States are
Washington, Lincoln, Grant. Mckinley,
John Adams. Garfield. Hayes, the two
Harrisons. Jefferson. Jackson and Ar
thur. Some of them have more than
one monument apiece. Washington and
Lincoln have many.
Two monuments to-the memory OF
the twenty-second president of the
United States are in contemplation.
One of them is to be erected in Prince
ton, n. J., the other in Chicago. The
movement to erect a memorial to Mr..
Cleveland in Princeton, a town closely
identified with his later life and the
site of a university in which he took
great interest. was launched recently
and rode well on the waters of public
interest. One hundfed thousand dol
lars was the sum asked by the pro-
jectors of the monument, among whom
were included some OF Mr.. Cleveland's
closest friends. They experienced little
difficulty in raising money. and their
plans will be embodied in a beautiful
memorial tower estimated to cost the
sum named. 1t is to be erected among
the Princeton buildings and viii be a
conspicuous object on the university
grounds, It Will be landmark, In fact.
NO other memorial to any president
OF the United States, save only the
Washington monument, will equal this
tower in dignity and beauty" recently
said Dean Andrew 8. West OF the
Princeton graduate college.
The tower is to be about forty feet
square and will rise over $50 feet. The
type of architecture is pure perpendic-
ular Gothic, and the material will be
gray stone. Starting from a base OF
plain severity the tower viii become
lighter and more open in character and
ornamentation as II ascends.
The Cleveland memorial tower will
be a worthy addition to the 100000
group of buildings planned by Prince
ton university for its graduate college.
They will stand on that portion Of the
university grounds known as the golf
links, spacious and commanding site !
with an extensive view. M. Cleveland |
was buried in Princeton, but the erec-
ton of costly monument at his grave |
was not possible, owing to the provi- |
sion of his will which requested the
erection of a modest monument over
his remains at the expense of the es-
tate.

tees. This committee is to appoint the
other committees through which the
business of the lower house of the ma
tional legislature is conducted instead
of letting the speaker name the COM
mittees. This decision was a great
progressive step in legislative history,
since it removed for all time the shad
Ow Of "czarism" from the marble rOs-
trum of the speaker. Henceforward his
functions are to be those of presiding
officer, pure and simple, guiding the de-
liberations Of the house according to
we'll defined and well understood par
liamentary rules without attempting to
influence the course of legislation. The
latter function is to be left to the COM
mittee on rules. sometimes and in some
ways the most powerful body in the

usUrpation. We deny
the validity, we dispute the moral bind
Ing force, Of the act of union. We de-
mand self government not as a favor,
but as a right
These words were written by John E
Redmond. member of parliament and
Irish leader, five years ago. In them is
heard the voice of the aspirations of
the Irish separatiOnists, who desire to
see re-erected in Dublin the Irish par
lament which legislated for the needs
Of the island until the act of union Of
ls00-01 put an end to its existence The
building i'll which the Irish parliament
met still stands in Dublin. 1t has been
converted to the uses Of the Roval
Bank of Ireland. Enthusiasts in the
cause Of home rule passing its classic
walls see in their minds eyes a stream
Of legislators entering the doors and
convening within to consider the needs
Of Erin with eyes single to the advance
ment of their beloved country in pros
perity and happiness. They efface the
lines of faction and sectional division
which have been Ireiand's bane in the
past.
It is sad that the name Of Ireland.
the land favored by nature, may not
be mentioned without invoking visions
Of discord and dissension bordering on
hatred and frequently crossing the line
Home rule is not now and never has
been the dream and hope of all Irish
men. 1t is opposed as bitterly now by
let -
Parnell and Salisbury. A few days ago
the cables brought to US reports of a
meeting Of the Ulster Unionist clubs
held in Belfast to oppose home rule.
It is no mere academic question
which divides Irishmen who desire
home rule from those who wish con-
tinued union with Great Britain. Men
have died for their convictions in this
matter, and within the past few weeks
men have expressed anew their willing
ness to die fighting for or against home
rule. 1t is a sad state Of affairs for
the lover Of Ireland to contemplate. He
finds himself longing less for the day
when ireland shall be free than for the
day when all Irishmen, Of whatever
creed or political belief, shall unite in
an agreement for Ireland's good.

lead of John Redmond, member OF par
