BUFFALO PAPER says the little vault in which Grant's remains rest is “a blistering, burning shame” to New York in view of the bronze to Lee. Now that is not fair, A bronze statue of Grant quite as valuable as that of Lee might be paid for seven times over any day in any week by New-Yorkers, but that is not what is wanted. ‘The memorial to ant_must cost an infinitely larger sum, and time provides for these things rather than the enthusiasm of a day or a year. History will take care of Grant in these matters, as it has to a fair extent of Washington: and the liter monary II, is the one that tells how’ lon; ‘mt. large or sm ter they are dead.

The memory of Grant is pretty well taken care of. We guess his bones are going to rest comfortably if his monument isn’t completed within the time ven to that of Washington. BOB AND THE BUTCHERS. 5 TRUE, as alleged, that Mr. Browning said the most intelligent criticisms of his books came from Chicago, then Chicago has won a compliment of which it has a right to be proud. It is a compliment for its pluck and its perseverance, and it shows that no work in this world is too great for Chicago to undertake. To criticise intelligently the critic must understand, and a mastery of Browning's meaning is the thing that used to be called a herculean task. After this there need be no doubt of a successful world’s fair, and if Chicago ever tries to go to heaven in a bal loon it will be done or there will be some knowledge of the reason of the failure. But there are two drawbacks. One—Browning didn’t under- stand Browning, and was therefore incompetent as a critic of eri Browning; and, two— Browning never said any such thing in a lucid interval, because he never had one. REGARDING BULLIES. PAPER has large head-lines commending an athletic association for deciding to withdraw an invitation seat to John L. Sullivan to give an exhibition of himself; and sev- eral other papers commend an ex- editor for turning his back on Sul- livan with the remark, “I don't want to know you; you are a bully —go away.” According to various accounts Sullivan offended nobody in one of the cases, and in the other his offense was unintentional and his rebuke was accepted without protest. There is, therefore, bully- ing of two kinds, and perhaps one is about as good and respect the other. able as KICKING IS INDEPEND- ENCE, FAMILY QUARREL is the kind of disturbance; and when a party organ kicks against a leader of its party it does so with such unction at the toe as to dislocate the bones of its ankle and shock its spinal column to the seat of its brain. The JUDGE is pleased at these things. ‘They show that there is independence regardless of personal sacrifice, and shioned organ that was known as hide-bound never had a suf- y of elasticity to know that it could stretch its legs without asking sion to do so, The JUDGE views without alarm every demon- 1; they make the—the Democratic newspapers decid- worst the old- ficien permi stration of that ki edly interesting.
