6 THE EVENING WASHINGTON. : April 27, 1897. itor. “THE EVENING STAR has = regular count 1 mbaence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to te: Grant Day. ‘The nation pauses today in its rushing activity to pay a tribute to the memory of one of its heroes. “Grant day” becomes more distinctively than ever one of the chronological landmarks of the. republic, through the ceremony that is taking place in New York, where the body of the dead soldier is permanently entombed, amid the reverent demonstrations cf a vast multt- tude. It is no loca! event that there oc- curs. New York becomes today more than the largest city In the country, more than the site of the grave. It represents the nation, and the dedication of the tomb of the great soldter-President is given an offi- lal character by the presence of the re- public's chief magistrate and all the high officers of the government, the representa- tives of all the foreign nations and citizens from every section of this country. There is reason for this “Grant day” means much that cannot be told in a mere description of the ceremo- nies or tr reports’ of the speeches there de- livered. It signifies the reuniting of a country once almbst divided. The tributes paid to the personal worth and character of the man convey a deep significance that bears on the power of the nation and its ability to stand the tests that must be ap- plied to all governments. Grant's name and fame are inseparably associated with the preservation of the Union. To this achievement his individual qualities con- trfbuted, and thiis {hose qualities are to- day being praised and reverenced. But with all the national significance of the event, with all the splendor of official presence and the.display of pageants, the deepest meaning is to be found in the trib- utes that Have'béen paid to Grant and to the great werk which he performed by rep- resentatives of the armies that were de- feated throdgh his genius. History will no doubt make prominent note of the pres- ence in New York today of the sons of ex- confederates, marching in parade. It is one of. the strangest and yet the most nat- ural facts in all the world’s record. Grant was more than a military conqueror. He did more than to defeat the enemy that sought to establish an independent govern- ment-eut of a portion of the great repub- lic. That work once accomplished, largely through ais wonderful military capacity, he Iaid the foundation of a new nation by his simple acts of peace and his words of good-will. ee The Question Developing. If the throne of Greece becomes vacant as the result of the Turko-Grecian war, will not the Powers be called upon to fill it? And will not that add very greatly to the difficulties of the general situation? Naturally, if called upon, they will huat for a man who will engage to be thor- oughly subservient to their will; and that will mean the selection of a man who will play into the hands of the Powers, who is not at all sensitive a out the Turk and Turkish performances in Europe, and who as King of Greece may be expected at all times to remember the sources of his eleva- tion it is very evident that the Powers hope for the defeat of Greece in this struggle, ard would be glad to see King George de- pesed and driven off. He has been a man of his own mind in this business, and his attitude has subjected the Powers to some sharp criticism. England, in a pinch, might sustain Lord Sal but there is a strong English sentiment against the Tur- kish alliance. France clearly feels the mor- tification of her position. A tractable man on the Grecian throne would have pursued the course marked out for him; swallowed, as the Powers were doing, any bitter doses presented to him, and, generally, have gone in for hiding and condoning, rather than exposing and resenting, Turkish delin- quences. But King George proved to be of # different temper, and hence, for his inde- Pendence and assertion, has incurred the opposition—active to a degree—of those whose reputations suffer in comparison with his. Hut where will the Powers, if the ooca- sion arises, find a man to their liking? What Prince of promise and reputation will care to accept even a throne on such terms? He must become, in effect, the ally of the Sultan, and carry himself in all things obediently towards the program which “makes the Sultan's presence in Europe a necessity. The original proposition related to good government for Crete, and the selection of @ Christian governor for that little island. The Powers halted at that—apparentiy finding the matter full of difficulty. But as they stuck at a matter of that size, what May he expected if a new king is required for Greece, with such a recast of the whole Easiern proposition as su a choice will make necessary? Questions of right are seldom evaded or postponed to advantage. Sooner or later they must be met and set- tled, and, sometimes, the sooner the better. ‘The Cretan question is now the Grecian auestion, and the Grecian question may any day develop actively into the question of Christian civillzation in Europe. seo ‘Tre capital city cannot help feeling a bit jealous of the metropolis today. New York manaze to finish the Grant tomb, while Washington still awaits the completion of the city post-office building. —————e—a-— The predicament of the Greek monarch shows the desirability of a man’s equipping himself with a good, reliable trade or a profession prior to accepting the uncertain responsibilities of a throne. — += if the Washington club wins the game to- day New York will never forgive the sen- ators for previously allowing themselvés,to be beaten by the Brooklyns. ew York, although a little slowly, has thoroughly redeemed herself in providing @ suitable tomb for the remains of Gen¢ral Grant. The site is beautiful, the structure imposing, and the general effect such as gratifies his family and his friends. The memory of a good man, a@ great soldier, and a great patriot is thus most appropri- ately honored. The name of the man who led the Union ermies in the civil war will live as long as the name of the country itself, and hence the making his last rest- fug place a shrine appealing to the eye as. well as to the heart was demanded by every consideration bearing worthily upon the subject. Today's ceremonies in New York natural- ly suggest the fact that here at the coun- try’s capital no memorial, altogether real- izing the affection in which their memories are held, exists in honor either of General Grant or of Mr. Lincoln. Their names are linked together. The one was the grea: master in the field, the other the great master in council. Wherever in the civilized world men have heard of liberty, and rev- erence those who have fought tq establish it, the fame of these two Americans ms outpouring.

And yet visitors from abroad, who Inspect this beautiful city and pass upon its charms and ornaments, rarely fail to note the absence: «f .suitable memorials here of the two men who before all others but Wash- ington stand for the ‘tunited country in the eyes of the world. Such memorials should be erected, -and Congress at Its hext ‘session could take no step better. cajgulgted to meet with general @pproval then that making the proper provision for thenr.’“Phe forms they should take, the sites to be occupied, the amounts to be expended—all this could be determined by @ commission appointed by Congress or by the President, and composed of men in every way qualified to decide upon matters so impcrtant and of such national interest. This subject is not new. It has several times been agitated, and The Star has be- fore given to it an unqualified indorsement. But the present is a highly apprupriate time to renew the discussion, and for fixing the matter firmly in the pyhiic mind. Let all who approve of it—and surely there ts Eo one who opposes it-contribute aid, by some word speken.,jn advocacy of it to those in position to more actively forward the worthy and patriotic project. Wash- ington, above. every. other. city, should .con- tain such m2morials, and offers abeve every other city sites" most~attractive for their erection. % ——seoo—___.

A Useful Articte. “It's very absurd for men to make fun of the fashions which women adopt,” saiz Miss Cayenne, ‘‘when their own attire is so unreasonable. “It seems to me,” replied Willie Wishing- ton, “that men dress very sensibly.” “But look at the absurdly high collars they wear?" “Don’t you know what they are for?” “No.” ‘They're for us to rest our chins on so that we won't get go tired looking over the hats in the theater. It is Gossip. “What's become of the india-rubber man?” asked the Circassian beauty in the side show. “I-don’t know for sure,” replied the snake charmer, “but I guess he got bounced.” A Method of Measurement. “There is such a thing as becoming too much devoted to the bicycle,” said the young woman thoughtfully. “I was riding with a friend of mine, who demonstrated that fact.” “Did she talk continually about the wheel?” “No. She didn’t talk about anything until I asked her if she knew what the hour was. She looked down at her cyclometer and said we'd better hurry home, as it was two miles and a quarter past dinner time.”* An Explanation. A cold that's simply harrowing Just now afflicts each mortal head; That's why none sing these “songs of spring. They always write them down instead. A Kemarkable Occasion. “This war,” remarked the sultan, “has its decided annoyances. But there is one thing about it that fills my bosom with joy.” “What is that?” inquired the grand viater. "It's the first quarrel in the history of my sovereingty in which all my wife's relations took sides with me.” In a Name. What's in a name? Oh, bard, go to! You dazzle us to betray.
